8-2-4. Heating Operation
Transferring of heating operation signal from indoor
unit to outdoor unit starts.
The indoor fan motor operates by the room tempera-
ture when selecting “AUTO” of “FAN” as shown in
Fig. 8-2-7, and operates with a set air flow when
selecting “Low” to “High”.
However, to prevent cold draft, revolution speed of
the fan is restricted by indoor heat exchanger when
air flow is AUTO (Fig. 8-2-8) and starting of FAN
Manual.

linear according to temperature.

The outdoor unit controls the outdoor fan based
upon the operation signal sent from the indoor unit,
and also controls revolution speed of the compres-
sor motor.
The power coupler (IC20) for four-way valve is
turned on, and turned off in defrost operation.
(1) Heating capacity control
Calculate the difference between temperature
detected by room temp. sensor every minute and
the set temp. set on “Temp. indicator” and
variation amount of room temp.
Then, obtain the correction amount of the
command signal, and correct the current fre-
quency command signal.
(2) High-temp. release control
If temperature of the indoor heat exchanger
detected by the indoor heat exchanger sensor is
55°C or higher, compressor motor speed is
gradually lowered to prevent over-temp. rising of
compressed pressure.
If temperature becomes below 48°C, return to
above item (1).
(3) Current release control
The input current of compressor and outdoor fan
motor (Precisely inverter main circuit control
section) which occupy most of air conditioner
input is detected by the outdoor current sensor.
The compressor motor speed is lowered gradu-
ally according to the range of TO (outside air
temp.) if the input current exceeds the current
value determined in each zone as shown in Fig.
8-2-9 so that the input current does not exceed
the set value.
In case that the current lowered by approx. 0,3A
to 0,5A than each set value, return to above item
(1).
