4. High pressure protection (MUH-GD80VB, MUH-GE50VB)
During heating operation, the outdoor fan and the compressor are controlled by the temperature of indoor coil thermistor
for excess rise protection of compressor discharge pressure.
• Outdoor fan
When the temperature of indoor coil thermistor goes to 55°C or more, the outdoor fan is turned OFF.
When the temperature of indoor coil thermistor becomes 52°C or less, the outdoor fan is turned ON.
• Compressor
When the temperature of indoor coil thermistor goes to 75°C or more, the compressor is turned OFF.
3 minutes after the compressor is turned OFF and if the temperature of indoor coil thermistor becomes 75°C or less, the
compressor is turned ON.
NOTE
: During the high pressure protection and for 10 seconds after high pressure protection, defrosting of outdoor heat
exchanger is not detected by the defrost thermistor.
5. Defrosting
Defrosting of outdoor heat exchanger is controlled by deicer P.C. board, with detection by the defrost thermistor.
(1) Starting conditions of defrost
When all conditions of a) ~ c) are satisfied, the defrosting operation starts.
a) Under the heat operation, the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 40 minutes without the defrosting opera-
tion working.
b) The defrost thermistor reads -3°C or less.
c) After releasing the high pressure protection 4 minutes and 10 seconds have elapsed.
(2) Releasing conditions of defrost
When the condition d) or e) is satisfied, the defrosting operation stops.
d) The defrost thermistor reads 10°C
(MUH-GE50VB) /
13°C or more
(MUH-GD80VB)
.
e) The defrosting time exceeds 10 minutes.
