(*1)
Outdoor unit fan start control during cooling
At the start of cooling mode and drying mode operation, the outdoo r unit heat exchan ger outlet temperature is detected in order
to set the fan speed.
Operation is carried out at the fan speed detected for 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds, the heat exchan ger outlet temperature is detected and the outdoo r unit fan speed is changed automatically .
(*2)
Cooling low outdoor temperature protection
When theheat exchan ger outlet temperature drops to less than 12°C for a continuous period of 10 minutes, the outdoor unit stops
running.
This is cancelled after 3 minutes (re-start prevention)

25.7. Defrost mode operation time chart
 1. Start and completion of defrosting
 a. Start
During heating mode operation (including automatic heating), after the 45-minute defrostingcycle time has passed,
defrosting starts if the temperature detected by the outdoor unit heat exchan ger outlet sensor is 2°C or lower for a
continuous 5-minute period.
However, if the outdoo r unit fan is stopped, the start of defrosting will be delaye d by 5 minutes.
The defrosting cycle is 50 minutesfrom the start of heating mode operation.
 b. Completion
Defrosting mode operation stops 12 minutes after it starts, or if the temperature detected by the outdoor unit heat exchan ger
outlet sensor is 25°C or higher.
After defrosting is complete, hot starting commences.
 c. Forced defrosting
If P8 on the outdoor unit circuit board is shorted while the compressor is ‘ON’ during heating mode operation and the
temperature detected by the outdoor unit heat exchan ger outlet sensor is 25°C or lower, defrosting is carried out regardless
of the current starting conditions.
 2. Operation
 a. During defrosting, the outdoor unit turns on the compressor and turns off the outdoor unit fan and the reversing valve.
 b. The indoor unit fan operates at LOW for 30 seconds after defrosting starts. After this, the indoor unit fan turns off until
defrosting is complete.
