Installation How to simultaneous operating - Keep the following procedure when simultaneously operating two units or more cassette type, duct type, and convertible type of indoor units via the free joint. 1. Turn on the power of the unit by the installed remote controller, a wire or a wireless remote controller.
Installation Test running 1. PRECAUTIONS IN TEST RUNNING • The initial power supply must provide at least 90% of the rated voltage. Otherwise, the air conditioner should not be operated. CAUTION For test run, carry out the cooling operation firstly even during heating season. If heating operation is carried out firstly, it leads to the trouble of compressor.

Operation • While compressor on, the indoor fan is off when the indoor pipe temp. is below 20°C, when above 27°C , it operates with the low or setting speed. When the indoor pipe temp is between 20°C and 27°C, it operates with Super-Low(while in sleep mode, with the medium airflow speed).
Page 32
Operation 2) Fuzzy Operation for Dehumidification • According to the setting temperature selected by Fuzzy rule, when the intake air temp is 0.5°C or more below the setting temp, the compressor is turned off. When 0.5°C or more above the setting temp, the com- pressor is turned on.
Operation I Off-Timer <=> On-Timer Operation • When the set time is reached after the on/off time is input by the remote control, the on/off-timer operation is carried out according to the set time. I Sleep Timer Operation • When the sleep time is reached after <1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0(cancel) hr> is input by the remote control while in appliance operation, the operation of the appliance stops.
Operation I Forced Operation • To operate the appliance by force in case that the remote control is lost, the forced operation selection switch is on the main unit of the appliance to operate the appliance in the standard conditions. •...
