How is the cooling capacity calculated?
The cooling capacity to be known is calculated using the following formula:
Cooling capacity = Nominal cooling capacity * A * B * C * D * E
Where:
A = Capacity compensation value based on indoor air wet-bulb temperature condition.
B = Capacity compensation value based on outdoor air dry-bulb temperature condition.
C = Capacity modification value under airflow variation rate of indoor unit group (only for duct units).
D = Capacity compensation suitable for total capability of indoor unit group (%).
E = Capacity compensation value based on pipe length, pipe diameter, and height drop.
Refer to the performance curves in the manual for the specific values of A, B, C, D, and E based on your operating conditions and installation specifics.
Note: The main pipe diameter should be enlarged one size if the single way pipe length is over 90m. Compensation factors should be adjusted for vertical height drops based on the provided table if outdoor is lower than indoor in cooling mode.
Adjustment Factor for Vertical Height Drop (Cooling Mode – Outdoor Lower than Indoor)
| Vertical height drop | 5m | 10m | 15m | 20m | 25m | 30m | 35m | 40m | 45m | 50m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjustment factor (subtract from E) | 0.003 | 0.006 | 0.009 | 0.012 | 0.015 | 0.018 | 0.021 | 0.024 | 0.027 | 0.030 |
How is the heating capacity calculated?
The heating capacity to be known is calculated using the following formula:
Heating capacity = Nominal heating capacity * A * B * C * D * E * F
Where:
A = Capacity compensation value based on indoor air dry-bulb temperature condition.
B = Capacity compensation value based on outdoor air wet-bulb temperature condition.
C = Capacity modification value under airflow variation rate of indoor unit group (only for duct units).
D = Capacity compensation suitable for total capability of indoor unit group (%).
E = Capacity compensation value based on pipe length, pipe diameter, and height drop.
F = Capacity compensation value for defrost capability of outdoor heat exchanger.
Refer to the performance curves in the manual for the specific values of A, B, C, D, E, and F based on your operating conditions and installation specifics.
Note: The main pipe diameter should be enlarged one size if the single way pipe length is over 90m. Compensation factors should be adjusted for vertical height drops based on the provided table if outdoor is higher than indoor in heating mode.
Adjustment Factor for Vertical Height Drop (Heating Mode – Outdoor Higher than Indoor)
| Vertical height drop | 5m | 10m | 15m | 20m | 25m | 30m | 35m | 40m | 45m | 50m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

What is the operating range for temperature?
The unit should be operated within the following temperature ranges:
Cooling Mode:
• Outdoor Temperature (Dry Bulb): -5°C to 48°C
• Indoor Temperature (Wet Bulb): 15°C to 30°C (Continuous operation range)
Heating Mode:
• Outdoor Temperature (Wet Bulb): -20°C to 27°C
• Indoor Temperature (Dry Bulb): 10°C to 30°C (Continuous operation range)
Operating the unit outside these ranges may trigger protection devices.
What important safety precautions should be followed during installation and operation?
WARNINGS (Risk of serious injury or death):
• Installation or maintenance must be performed by an authorized agency. Non-specialized operation can cause water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
• Follow the manual strictly during installation to prevent water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
• Install the unit on a structure capable of bearing its weight to prevent it from falling and causing injury.
• Ensure installation defends against typhoons, earthquakes, etc., as abnormal installation can cause the unit to fall.
• Use the correct specified cables and ensure reliable earthing. Secure terminals firmly; loose connections cause overheating and fire.
• Ensure wiring is properly arranged and not raised or pinched by covers. Incorrect installation can cause heating and fire.
• Do not introduce air or any gas other than R410A into the refrigerant system. Gas mixtures cause abnormally high pressure, leading to rupture or injury.
• Use only specified accessories or parts during installation to prevent water leakage, electric shock, fire, or refrigerant leaks.
• Do not drain water into drainage grooves containing poisonous gases (like sulphur) as the gas can enter the indoor space.
• If refrigerant leakage occurs during or after installation, ventilate the area immediately. Refrigerant can produce poisonous gas upon contact with fire.
• Do not install the unit where flammable gas leakage might occur. Leaked gas accumulating around the unit can cause a fire.
• Install the drainage pipe according to the manual for fluent drainage and provide heat insulation to prevent dew condensation. Improper installation causes water leakage and property damage.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or similarly qualified persons.
• This appliance is not for use by persons with reduced capabilities unless supervised.
• Children aged 8+ and persons with reduced capabilities can use the appliance if supervised/instructed on safe use and hazards.
• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning/maintenance shall not be done by unsupervised children.
• Do not operate via external timers or separate remote controls.
• Keep the appliance and cord away from children under 8 years.
• If transferring the unit, transfer this manual with it.
• Electrify the unit for over 12 hours before startup to protect the compressor. If unused for a long time, cut power.
CAUTIONS (Risk of injury or property damage):
• Earth the unit correctly. Do not connect the earth wire to gas pipes, water pipes, lightning rods, or telephone earth wires. Improper earthing causes electric shock.
• Do not install where flammable gas leaks might occur, to prevent fire.
• Install the water drainage pipe correctly to prevent water leakage and damage.
• Ensure the outdoor fan discharge does not directly blow on plants or flowers.
• Ensure sufficient maintenance space is available.
• When installing on a roof or high place, provide fixed ladders and railings for safety.
• Use two spanners to tighten flare nuts to the correct torque. Over-tightening can break the flare section, causing refrigerant leakage and potential oxygen deficiency.
• Insulate refrigerant pipes to prevent condensation and water damage.
• After piping work, perform a leakage test using nitrogen. Refrigerant leaks in small rooms exceeding concentration limits can cause oxygen deficiency.
• Use only R410A refrigerant. Do not mix refrigerants. R410A pressure is ~1.6 times higher than R22.
• Use R410A specific tools (manifold, hose, flare tool, torque spanner, vacuum pump adapter, leak detector). Charge refrigerant in liquid state from the tank.
• Provide heat insulation for both liquid and gas pipes to prevent condensation.
What tools are specified for working with R-410A refrigerant?
| R-410A specified tools | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gauge manifold | Range: HP > 4.5MPa, LP > 2MPa |
| 2 | Charge hose | Pressure: HP: 5.3MPa, LP: 3.5MPa |
| 3 | Electronic balance for charging R410A | Cannot use the measurable charging tank |
| 4 | Torque spanner | |
| 5 | Flare tool | |
| 6 | Copper pipe gauge for adjusting projecting margin | |
| 7 | Vacuum pump adapter | Must be with reverse stop valve |
| 8 | Leakage detector | Cannot use freon leakage detector, but the He detector |
Note: When charging refrigerant, it must be taken out as liquid state from the tank.
What checks should be performed before installation?
1. Confirm if the model, power supply, pipe, wires, and parts purchased are correct.
2. Check if the indoor and outdoor units can be combined based on the following compatibility:
| Outdoor Model | Indoor Qty | Total indoor capacity (X 100W) |
|---|---|---|
| VVFA-220R-01T32 | 13 | 113~293 |
| VVFA-280R-01T32 | 16 | 140~364 |
| VVFA-335R-01T32 | 19 | 158~410 |
Additionally, verify:
• If the connected units quantity and the total capacity are within the allowable range.
• If the refrigerant pipe length is within the limited range.
• If the pipe size is proper and installed horizontally (where required).
• If the branch pipe is installed correctly (horizontally or vertically).
• If the additional refrigerant is counted correctly and weighed.
• If there is any refrigerant leakage.
• If all indoor power supplies can be switched on/off simultaneously.
• If the power voltage complies with the rating label.
• If the addresses of indoors have been set.
Where should the outdoor unit be installed?
General Location Requirements:
• Place in a well-ventilated and dry location.
• Ensure noise and exhaust do not affect neighbors and ventilation is unobstructed.
• Ground must be steady, reliable, and strong enough to support the unit’s weight to prevent vibration and noise.
• Allow sufficient space for handling and maintenance as shown in the diagrams.
• Install in a publicly unapproachable place.
Locations to Avoid:
• Places with inflammable gas (risk of fire).
• Places with high oil content, salt spray, or harmful gases (e.g., spa areas, seaside).
• Areas subject to strong coal smoke.
• Places with high humidity.
• Locations near devices emitting Hertzian waves (keep at least 3 meters away from electromagnetic radiation sources).
• Dusty or polluted places that could jam the heat exchanger.
• Areas where voltage changes greatly.
• Where cold/hot air or noise will interfere with neighbors.
• Where other heat sources will affect the unit.
Additional Considerations:
• Ensure water can drain fluently.
• In snowy areas, provide protection (e.g., snow cover) to prevent clogging.
• Install anti-vibration rubber between the unit and bracket/foundation.
• Install in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight or high-temperature heat sources.
• Refer to diagrams for specific minimum clearance distances based on single/multi-unit installations and surrounding obstacles.
How should the outdoor unit be transported and handled?
• Move the unit to the installation location as close as possible before opening the packaging.
• Do not place anything on top of the equipment.
• Use 2 ropes when hoisting the outdoor unit.
• Hoist the unit levelly and slowly.
• Do not remove the packaging during hoisting.
• Avoid tying the elevator ropes in a way that hits the unit packaging or wrapping.
• Use suitable protection when hoisting the exterior.
• Before installation, do not deposit any material near the outdoor unit location to avoid fire hazards.
• Do not demolish the wooden foundation during handling.
• Prevent the outdoor unit from inclining.
• Handling should be done by more than two people.
• Use the designated handle points as shown in the manual diagram.
What are the requirements for refrigerant pipe connection?
General Method:
• Keep pipes as short as possible for efficiency.
• Daub refrigerant oil (ester oil for R410A) on the connector and flare nut.
• When bending pipes, use the largest possible semi-diameter (over 4 times pipe diameter) to avoid breakage.
• Align pipe centers, thread the nut by hand, then tighten with double spanners to the specified torque.
• Prevent impurities (sand, water) from entering the pipe. Use anti-fouling measures (clean pipe, flatten end, seal). Flat the pipe end or seal with adhesive tape depending on storage duration before installation.
Installation Cautions:
• When welding with hard solder, charge nitrogen (0.02MPa gauge pressure) into the pipe to prevent oxidation. Oxide film can clog capillaries/expansion valves.
• Ensure pipes are clean. If impurities enter, clean by flowing nitrogen (approx. 0.5MPa) through the pipe, stopping the ends intermittently.
• Install piping after stop valves are closed.
• Cool valves with a wet towel when welding near them.
• Use special shears, not a saw, to cut pipes.
• Use phosphor copper welding rod without flux for copper pipe welding. Flux (especially chlorine/fluorine containing) damages piping and refrigeration oil.
Material and Specs:
• Use phosphoric oxidize seamless copper pipe: C1220T-1/2H (diameter > 19.05mm); C1220T-0 (diameter ≤ 15.88mm).
• Confirm pipe thickness and specs based on selection method. For R410A, pipes over 19.05mm must be 1/2H type and meet minimum thickness requirements.
• Branch pipes and gather pipes must be manufacturer-specified.
• Install pipes within the allowable length/drop range.
How are refrigerant pipe diameters selected?
Pipe diameters depend on the location in the system and the connected capacity:
• Pipe “a” (Between indoor unit and branch pipe): Diameter depends on the specific indoor unit’s gas and liquid pipe requirements (refer to indoor unit installation manual).
• Pipe “b” (Between branch pipes): Diameter depends on the total indoor capacity downstream from that pipe section.
| Total indoor capacity after the branch pipe (kW) | Gas pipe (mm) | Liquid pipe (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| <16.8kW | Ø15.88 | Ø9.52 |
| 16.8kW ≤ X < 22.4kW | Ø19.05 | Ø9.52 |
| 22.4kW ≤ X < 33.0kW | Ø22.22 | Ø9.52 |
| 33.0kW ≤ X < 47.0kW | Ø28.58 | Ø12.7 |
Note: If the total indoor capacity after pipe ‘b’ is less than 14.0kW, use the same specs as pipe ‘a’. Adjust diameter on field if needed.
• Pipe “c” (Main pipe between outdoor unit gather pipe and first branch pipe):
| Model | Main Gas pipe (mm) | Main Liquid pipe (mm) | Enlarged Main Gas pipe (mm) | Enlarged Main Liquid pipe (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VVFA-220R-01T32 | Ø19.05 | Ø9.52 | Ø22.22 | Ø12.7 |

How are branch pipes selected and installed?
Branch Pipe Selection:
| Total indoor capacity (100W) | Model (optional) |
|---|---|
| Less than 335 | TAU-335 |
| More than 335, less than 506 | TAU-506 |
The master unit (main outdoor unit) will choose the closest model to the 1st branch pipe.
Installation Notes:
1. Pay attention to the outdoor unit pipe dimensions when connecting the outdoor branch pipe.
2. Diameter adjustments between outdoor branch pipes or between units must be executed at the branch pipe side.
3. Install the outdoor branch pipe (gas/liquid side) horizontally or vertically.
4. When welding with hard solder, blow nitrogen through the pipe to prevent oxidation, which can cause heavy damage. Protect the pipe from water and dust by making the brim as an outer roll.
5. Prepare the pipe end on field, cut off the pipe with a cutter (cut off at the middle), ensure it is horizontal, seal the connection, and wrap with heat insulator and adhesive tape.
What are the procedures for pipe installation, expansion, and brazing?
General Pipe Installation:
• Avoid collision between pipes and unit parts.
• Close valves fully when connecting pipes.
• Protect pipe ends from water and impurities (weld flat or seal with tape).
• Bend pipes with a large semi-diameter (over 4x pipe diameter).
Pipe Expansion (for flared connections, e.g., outdoor liquid pipe):
• Use a special tool for R410A.
• Install the expanding nut first.
• Adjust projecting pipe length using a copper pipe gauge if needed.
• Use ester oil (not mineral oil) as expanding oil.
• Refer to the table for correct expansion dimension ‘A’ and projecting length ‘B’.
| Pipe outer diameter (mm) | Expanding pipe A (mm) (0/-0.4) | Projecting length B (mm) (Special tool for R410A) | Projecting length B (mm) (The former tool) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø6.35 | 9.1 | 0-0.5 | 1.0-1.5 |
| Ø9.52 | 13.2 | ||
| Ø12.7 | 16.6 | ||
| Ø15.88 | 19.7 |
• After expansion, fasten the flare connection using a double-spanner to the correct torque.
Brazing (for outdoor gas pipe, distributing pipes, branch pipes):
• Braze with hard solder.
• During brazing, charge nitrogen through the pipe to prevent oxidation (impurity film) which can clog components and cause failure.
• Seal the pipe end with tape or a stopper to increase resistance while flowing nitrogen.
• Only use nitrogen gas for purging during brazing.
How is a leakage test performed?
1. The outdoor unit is factory tested. Test the field-installed piping individually; do not test after connecting to the unit’s stop valves.
2. Connect a gauge manifold and nitrogen cylinder to both the gas and liquid service ports (ensure valves are closed).
3. Pressurize step-by-step using dry nitrogen only (do not use oxygen, chlorine, or flammable gas):
a. Apply 0.5MPa (approx. 73 psi) for > 5 minutes. Check for pressure drop.
b. Apply 1.5MPa (approx. 218 psi) for > 5 minutes. Check for pressure drop.
c. Apply the target pressure of 4.15MPa (approx. 602 psi). Record the pressure and ambient temperature.
d. Leave pressurized at 4.15MPa for at least 1 day (24 hours). If the pressure does not drop (after correcting for temperature changes), the test is passed. Note: Pressure changes approx. 0.01MPa per 1°C temperature change.
e. If pressure drops at any stage, there is a leak. Use soapy water or a suitable leak detector to find the leak (check brazing points, flared connections). Repair the leak and repeat the test from step ‘a’.
4. After a successful leakage test, release the nitrogen pressure and proceed to evacuation.
How is the system evacuated?
1. Connect a vacuum pump via a gauge manifold to the service ports on both the liquid and gas stop valves.
2. Evacuate the system (including piping and potentially the oil equalization pipe if applicable).
3. Run the vacuum pump until the pressure reaches -100.7 KPa (below -755 mmHg or approx. 29.75 inHg vacuum) or less.
4. Continue running the vacuum pump for at least 1 hour after reaching this vacuum level.
5. Close the manifold valves and stop the vacuum pump.
6. Leave the system for over 1 hour and check if the vacuum pointer on the gauge rises.
7. If the vacuum pointer rises, it indicates moisture or a leak in the system. Check for leaks again and re-evacuate. If no leaks are found, moisture is present, continue evacuation for longer.
8. If the vacuum holds steady for over 1 hour, evacuation is complete.
How are the check valves (stop valves) operated?
Open/Close Method:
1. Remove the valve cap.
2. Use a hexangular spanner (Allen key) to turn the valve stem.
3. Turn counter-clockwise fully to open the valve until it stops. Do not apply excessive force once open.
4. Turn clockwise fully to close the valve.
5. Replace and tighten the valve cap securely after operation.
Tightening Torques:
| Valve | Shaft (valve body stem) N·m | Cap (cover) N·m | T-shape nut (check joint/service port) N·m |
|---|---|---|---|
| For gas pipe | 8~9 | 22~27 | 8~10 |
| For liquid pipe | 5~6 | 13~16 |
How is additional refrigerant charged?
1. The unit comes factory charged (W1), requires an on-site charge (W2 – usually 0kg for these models based on the table), and additional charge based on liquid line length (W3).
2. Calculate the additional refrigerant volume (W3) based on the installed liquid pipe lengths and diameters:
W3 = (L1 × 0.35) + (L2 × 0.25) + (L3 × 0.17) + (L4 × 0.11) + (L5 × 0.054) + (L6 × 0.022)
Where L1 to L6 are the lengths (m) of liquid pipes with diameters Ø22.22, Ø19.05, Ø15.88, Ø12.7, Ø9.52, and Ø6.35 mm respectively. Use the table below for per-meter values:
| Liquid pipe diameter (mm) | Additional refrigerant amount (kg/m) |
|---|---|
| Ø6.35 | 0.022 kg/m |
| Ø9.52 | 0.054 kg/m |
| Ø12.7 | 0.11 kg/m |
| Ø15.88 | 0.17 kg/m |
| Ø19.05 | 0.25 kg/m |
| Ø22.22 | 0.35 kg/m |
3. Total refrigerant needed on site = W2 + W3.
4. Total refrigerant in system = W1 + W2 + W3.
5. Charge the calculated additional refrigerant (W3) using a charging scale and manifold gauge.
6. Important R410A Precautions:
• Charge refrigerant in liquid state from the R410A cylinder (typically pink).
• Use dedicated R410A tools (manifold, hoses).
• Do not use a charging cylinder as R410A composition can change.
• Use an anti-counter-flow adapter to prevent compressor oil from entering the refrigerant cycle.
7. If the full additional charge cannot be added while the unit is stopped, add the remaining amount during trial operation mode.
8. Complete charging within 30 minutes if the unit is running.
9. Record the total charged amount (W1+W2+W3) on the label for maintenance purposes.
10. Running the unit with insufficient refrigerant for a long period will cause compressor failure.
What are the requirements for heat insulation?
• Both gas pipe and liquid pipe must be heat insulated separately.
• Material for the gas pipe insulation must withstand temperatures over 120°C.
• Material for the liquid pipe insulation must withstand temperatures over 70°C.
• Insulation thickness should be over 10mm. If ambient temperature is 30°C and relative humidity is over 80%, the thickness should be over 20mm to prevent condensation.
• Apply the insulation material closely to the pipe without gaps.
• Wrap the insulation securely with adhesive tape.
• Keep connection wires separate from the heat insulation material (at least 20cm away).
How should refrigerant pipes be fixed?
• Refrigerant pipes vibrate and expand/shrink during operation.
• Fix the pipe securely at intervals of every 2-3 meters to prevent central stress concentrating in one area, which could cause the pipe to break.
How is communication wiring configured?
• Outdoor and all indoor units are connected in parallel using 2 non-polar wires (terminals P and Q).
• The ground wire of the outdoor unit must pass through the buckle magnetic ring.
• The shielding layer of the communication wire must be connected together and earthed at a single point (usually at the outdoor unit).
• Total communication wire length cannot exceed 1000m.
• Use 2-core x (0.75-2.0mm²) shielded wire between outdoor/indoor units and between indoor units.
Wired Controller Connection:
• Use 0.75mm² × 3 core shielding line for wired controllers, with a maximum length of 250m.
• The shielding layer must be grounded at one end.
• Connection methods:
1. 1 to Multi (Group Control): One wired controller controls 2-19 indoors. Connect the controller to the designated master indoor unit via 3 polar wires (A, B, C). Connect other slave indoors to the master indoor via 2 or 3 polar wires (AC indoors use B, C; DC indoors use A, B, C* – refer to indoor manual). Indoor 5 in the diagram is the master.
2. 1 to 1: One wired controller controls one indoor unit. Connect via 3 polar wires (A, B, C). Indoors 6-18 in the diagram.
3. 2 to 1: Two wired controllers control one indoor unit. Set one as master, one as slave. Connect both controllers and the indoor unit via 3 polar wires (A, B, C). Indoor 19 in the diagram.
• *Note: If using a remote controller, terminals A, B, C on the signal block may not need wires; consult the specific controller/indoor unit table.
What are the power wiring requirements?
• Ensure input voltage is no less than 380V when running; lower voltage may cause abnormal operation.
• Pass the communication line shielding layer of the outdoor unit through the buckle magnetic ring.
• Outdoor unit power source: 3N~, 380-415V, 50/60Hz.
• Indoor unit power source: 1PH, 220-240V~, 50/60Hz.
• Indoor and outdoor units must use their individual power sources. All indoor units should use one common power source.
• Must install a leakage breaker (Ground Fault Interrupter) and an overcurrent breaker for each power source. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Power cables must be fixed firmly.
• Each outdoor unit must be earthed well.
• If power cable length exceeds the specified range, thicken the cable appropriately.

What happens during trial operation and normal performance?
5-Minute Delay Function:
• After powering off and restarting the unit, the compressor has a built-in delay and will run approximately 5 minutes later to protect itself.
Cooling/Heating Operation:
• Indoor units can be controlled individually.
• Units cannot run in Cool and Heat modes simultaneously within the same system. If modes conflict, the unit set later will enter standby, and the unit set earlier will continue to run.
• If an A/C manager fixes the system mode (Cooling or Heating), units cannot operate in the other mode.
Heating Mode Characteristics:
• If the outdoor temperature rises significantly during heating operation, the indoor fan motor may switch to low speed or stop temporarily.
Defrosting in Heating Mode:
• Outdoor unit defrosting is necessary in heating mode and affects heating efficiency temporarily.
• The unit defrosts automatically for about 2-10 minutes when required.
• During defrost, condensate water will flow from the outdoor unit, and vapour may appear, which is normal.
• The indoor fan motor will run at low speed or stop during defrost. The outdoor fan motor will also stop.
Unit Operation Condition:
• Operate the unit within the allowed temperature and humidity ranges specified in the manual. Operating outside these ranges may trigger protection devices.
• Relative humidity should be lower than 80%. Running the unit continuously with humidity over 80% can lead to dew formation on the unit and potentially dripping water from the air outlet.

How does the outdoor unit control the compressor?
Startup Control:
• Ensures prerequisites are met (e.g., no critical errors, 5-minute delay passed).
• Starts at a low frequency and gradually increases based on system demand and stability.
• Includes oil return logic during startup if needed.
Output Control (Frequency Adjustment):
• The compressor’s running frequency is adjusted based on the difference between the target evaporation temperature (Te) or condensation temperature (Tc) and the actual temperatures derived from sensors.
• Target Te/Tc is determined by indoor unit settings and outdoor ambient conditions.
• Frequency is increased or decreased within operational limits (minimum/maximum frequency) to meet the cooling or heating load efficiently while maintaining stable operation.
• PID control is used for precise adjustments based on pressure sensor readings and temperature targets.
How does the defrosting control work?
Defrosting operates only during heating mode to remove ice buildup on the outdoor coil.
Conditions to Enter Defrost:
• The system must be running in heating mode.
• The outdoor coil temperature (T3/Tdef sensor) drops below a certain threshold, indicating potential frost formation.
• A timer condition is met (defrost won’t occur too frequently).
• Intelligent defrost logic compares the change in low pressure and defrost temperature sensor readings to determine the actual frosting degree before initiating defrost.
Defrosting Process:
• The 4-way valve switches (reversing the refrigerant cycle temporarily, similar to cooling mode).
• The indoor fan stops or runs at very low speed.
• The outdoor fan stops.
• The compressor runs to circulate hot gas through the outdoor coil, melting the frost.
Conditions to Exit Defrost:
• The outdoor coil temperature (T3/Tdef) rises above a set point, indicating frost has cleared.
• OR, a maximum defrost time limit (typically 10-12 minutes) is reached.
After Defrost:
• The 4-way valve switches back to heating mode.
• The outdoor and indoor fans resume normal heating operation.
How does the oil return control work?
Oil return control ensures sufficient lubricating oil returns to the compressor, especially during prolonged low-load operation or in systems with long piping.
Conditions to Initiate Oil Return:
• The system detects conditions conducive to poor oil return, such as:
• Compressor running continuously for a long duration (e.g., several hours).
• Operating at low frequencies for extended periods.
• Specific temperature or pressure conditions indicating oil might be trapped in the system.
• Some systems may have a timed oil return cycle (e.g., every 8 hours of cumulative compressor run time).
• Enhanced oil return mode can be selected via Dip Switch BM1-8 if standard oil return is insufficient.
Oil Return Process:
• The system temporarily adjusts operating parameters to increase refrigerant velocity and encourage oil flow back to the compressor.
• This may involve briefly increasing compressor frequency and potentially adjusting valve positions.
• The oil return cycle runs for a predetermined duration (typically a few minutes).
Completion:
• After the cycle duration, the system returns to normal operation based on the current demand.

What is the function of the high pressure switch protection device?
The high pressure switch is a device which can stop the unit automatically when the unit runs abnormally. When the high pressure switch acts, the cooling/heating mode will stop but the running LED on the wired controller will still be lit. The wired controller will display a failure code.
When does the high pressure switch protection device activate?
The protection device will act in the following cases:
• In cooling mode, air outlet and air inlet of the outdoor unit are clogged.
• In heating mode, the indoor filter is sticked with dust; indoor air outlet is clogged.
What should I do if the protection device acts?
When the protection device acts, please cut off the power source and re-start up after eliminating the trouble.
What happens when there is a power failure while the unit is running?
When power fails during running, all operations will stop.
How does the unit behave after power is restored following a failure?
After being electrified again:
• If the unit has a re-start up function, it can resume to the state before power off automatically.
• If the unit does not have a re-start up function, it needs to be switched on again manually.
What should I do if the unit runs abnormally due to thunder, lightning, or interference?
When abnormal occurs in running because of the thunder, the lightning, the interference of car or radio, etc, please cut off the power source. After eliminating the failure, press the “ON/OFF” button to start up the unit.
How does the heating mode work and how does outdoor temperature affect it?
The heating mode adopts the heat pump type that absorbs outdoor heat energy and releases it into indoor. So if the outdoor temperature goes down, the heating capacity will decrease.
What checks are needed before the trial operation?
Before trial operation:
• Before being energized, measure the resistor between power terminal block (live wire and neutral wire) and the grounded point with a multimeter, and check if it is over 1MΩ. If not, the unit cannot operate.
• To protect the compressor, energize the outdoor unit for at least 12 hours before the unit runs. If the crankcase heater is not energized for 6 hours, the compressor will not work. Confirm the compressor bottom is getting hot.
• Except for the condition that there is only one master unit connected (no slave unit), under the other conditions, open fully the outdoor operating valves (gas side, liquid side, oil equalization pipe). If operating the unit without opening the valves, compressor failure will occur.
• Confirm all indoor units are being electrified. If not, water leakage will occur.
• Measure the system pressure with pressure gauge, at the same time, operate the unit.
What should I do during the trial operation?
In trial operation, refer to the information of the performance section.
When the unit cannot start up at the room temperature, make trial operation for the outdoor unit.
