Obstacle
*1: For details of the compressor capacity control while in cooling, refer to “Compressor PI Control” on page 96.
*2: The “low pressure protection control” includes low pressure protection control and hot gas bypass control. For details, refer to page 108.
*3: In cooling, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve is used for “superheated degree control”.
*4: In heating, the outdoor unit electronic expansion valve (EV1) is used for “superheated degree control of outdoor unit heat exchanger”.
(For details, refer to page 99.)
