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

interface" on page 36

.

▪ 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 heat exchanger unit's air cooled
coil  increases  over  time,  restricting  the  energy  transfer  to  the  heat
exchanger  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 heat exchanger unit coil.

The  indoor  unit  will  indicate  defrost  operation  on  the  displays

.

During  defrost  operation,  ice  melts  and  possibly  evaporates.

Possible consequence: 

Mist might be visible during or directly after

defrost operation. This is not a malfunction.

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.

12.2.4

To operate the system (WITHOUT cool/
heat changeover remote control switch)

1

Press the operation mode selector button on the user interface
several times and select the operation mode of your choice.

Cooling operation

Heating operation

Fan only operation

2

Press the ON/OFF button on the user interface.

Result: 

The  operation  lamp  lights  up  and  the  system  starts

operating.

To stop

3

Press the ON/OFF button on the user interface once again.

Result: 

The  operation  lamp  goes  out  and  the  system  stops

operating.

NOTICE

Do not turn off power immediately after the unit stops, but
wait for at least 5 minutes.

To adjust

For programming temperature, fan speed and air flow direction refer
to the operation manual of the user interface.

12.3

Using the dry program

12.3.1

About the dry program

▪ The  function  of  this  program  is  to  decrease  the  humidity  in  your

room with minimal temperature decrease (minimal room cooling).

▪ The  micro  computer  automatically  determines  temperature  and

fan speed (cannot be set by the user interface).

▪ The system does not go into operation if the room temperature is

low (<20°C).
