NOTE 2
FOR MULTI SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER
OUTDOOR UNIT: MXZ series
Multi system air conditioner can connect 2 or more indoor units with one outdoor unit.
• When you try to operate 2 or more indoor units with one outdoor unit simultaneously, one for the cooling and the
others for heating, the operation mode of the indoor unit that operates first is selected. Other indoor units cannot
operate, and operation indicator lamp blinks as shown in the figure below. In this case, please set all the indoor
units to the same operation mode.
• When indoor unit starts the operation while the defrosting of outdoor unit is being done, it takes a few minutes (max.
10 minutes) to blow out the warm air.
• In the heating operation, though indoor unit that does not operate may get warm or the sound of refrigerant flow-
ing may be heard, they are not malfunction. The reason is that the refrigerant continuously flows into it.

9-6. AUTO VANE OPERATION
1. Horizontal vane
(1) Vane motor drive
These models are equipped with a stepping motor for the horizontal vane. The rotating direction, speed, and angle of
the motor are controlled by pulse signals (approximately 12 V) transmitted from indoor microprocessor.
(2) The horizontal vane angle and mode change as follows by pressing VANE CONTROL button.
(3) Positioning
To confirm the standard position, the vane moves until it touches the vane stopper. Then the vane is set to the
selected angle.
Confirming of standard position is performed in the following cases:
(a) When the operation starts or finishes (including timer operation).
(b) When the test run starts.
(c) When standby mode (only during multi system operation) starts or finishes.
(4) VANE AUTO ( ) mode
In VANE AUTO mode, the microprocessor automatically determines the vane angle to make the optimum room tem-
perature distribution.

The horizontal vane position is set to Upward.
NOTE:
When 2 or more indoor units are operated with multi outdoor unit, even if any indoor unit turns thermostat off,
this control does not work in the indoor unit.
(5) STOP (operation OFF) and ON TIMER standby
In the following cases, the horizontal vane returns to the closed position.
(a) When OPERATE/STOP (ON/OFF) (
MSZ-EF·VE/VE2
)/ STOP/OPERATE (OFF/ON) (
MSZ-EF·VE3
) button is
pressed (POWER OFF).
(b) When the operation is stopped by the emergency operation.
(c) When ON TIMER is ON standby.
(6) Dew prevention
During COOL or DRY operation with the vane angle at Angle 4 or 5 when the compressor cumulative operation time
exceeds 1 hour, the vane angle automatically changes to Angle 1 for dew prevention.
