5. Outdoor Unit Fan Control
(1) Fan Mode
These outdoor units utilize a DC fan motor that can be controlled in a maximum of 15 steps (15 modes).
However, fan modes 14 and 15 can only be used if high static pressure mode has been set.
* For information concerning EEPROM settings, refer to the field application functions.
The following table shows the maximum and minimum fan mode and fan forced mode for each unit.

* For the sake of protecting temperature of the electrical parts, the minimum values of the fan mode may
sometimes increase in accordance with the ambient temperature or the amount of secondary current.
1-1. High static pressure mode
The outdoor unit allows a high static pressure changing the settings.
The maximum permissible static pressure is 0.01psi (80Pa).

Control Functions
5. Outdoor Unit Fan Control
Independent control of outdoor unit
This control is intended to prevent snow from accumulating on stopped fans.
The fan motor rotates at 500rpm in the below conditions even if the outdoor unit stops.
(1)
Control with snow detection sensor (field supply)
If a snow detection sensor (field supply) is available and this function is set in validity, the fan motor of the outdoor
unit rotates at 600 rpm when the snow detection sensor detects snow.
The judgment of this control performs at 10 minutes interval.
One snow detection sensor can control all outdoor units on the communications wiring.
The snow detection sensor is only possible to connect to the main outdoor unit (unit No.1) and it can control all
outdoor units in communication wiring.
(2)
Fan motor operates for 45 seconds and stops for 2 hours when ambient temperature is 41.18°F (5.1°C) or
more.
Fan motor operates for 45 seconds and stops for 1.5 hours when ambient temperature is 32.2 - 41.0°F
(0.1 - 5.0°C).
Fan motor operates for 45 seconds and stops for 1 hour when ambient temperature is 32.0°F (0.0°C) or less.
EEPROM setting in each main outdoor unit
* All outdoor units are connected with same communication wiring.
To activate this function, it is necessary to set it to the EEPROM on each system’s main outdoor unit PCB.
