About the system
The indoor unit part of VRV IV-S heat pump system can be used for
heating/cooling applications. The type of indoor unit which can be
used depends on the outdoor units series.
NOTICE
Do not use the system for other purposes. In order to avoid
any quality deterioration, do not use the unit for cooling
precision instruments, food, plants, animals or works of art.
NOTICE
For future modifications or expansions of your system:
A full overview of allowable combinations (for future
system extensions) is available in technical engineering
data and should be consulted. Contact your installer to
receive more information and professional advice.

Do not remove the front panel. Some parts inside are
dangerous to touch and appliance problems may happen.
For checking and adjusting the internal parts, contact your
dealer.
This operation manual will give a non-exhaustive overview of the
main functions of the system.
Detailed information on required actions to achieve certain functions
can be found in the dedicated installation and operation manual of

(a)
To avoid condensation and water dripping out of the unit. If
the temperature or the humidity is beyond these conditions,
safety devices may be put in action and the air conditioner
may not operate.

Operating the system
12.2.1
About operating the system
▪ Operation procedure varies according to the combination of
outdoor unit and user interface.
▪ To protect the unit, turn on the main power switch 6 hours before
operation.
▪ If the main power supply is turned off during operation, operation
will restart automatically after the power turns back on again.
12.2.2
About cooling, heating, fan only, and
automatic operation
▪ Changeover cannot be made with a user interface whose display
shows
"change-over under centralised control" (refer to
installation and operation manual of the user interface).
▪ When the display
"change-over under centralised control"
flashes, refer to
"12.5.1 About setting the master user
.
▪ The fan may keep on running for about 1 minute after the heating
operation stops.
▪ The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the room
temperature or the fan may stop immediately. This is not a
malfunction.
12.2.3
About the heating operation
It may take longer to reach the set temperature for general heating
operation than for cooling operation.
The following operation is performed in order to prevent the heating
capacity from dropping or cold air from blowing.
Defrost operation
In heating operation, freezing of the outdoor unit's air cooled coil
increases over time, restricting the energy transfer to the outdoor
unit's coil. Heating capability decreases and the system needs to go
into defrost operation to be able to deliver enough heat to the indoor
units.
The indoor unit will stop fan operation, the refrigerant cycle will
reverse and energy from inside the building will be used to defrost
the outdoor unit coil.
The indoor unit will indicate defrost operation on the display
.
Hot start
In order to prevent cold air from blowing out of an indoor unit at the
start of heating operation, the indoor fan is automatically stopped.
The display of the user interface shows
. It may take some
time before the fan starts. This is not a malfunction.
