After energization, stepping motor is reset and swing turns toposition A.If swing is not active after startup of unit, guide louver will stop at max. position C.If it is active ,guide louver will swing between min. postion B and max. position C. As shown in the right figure: A is close position , B is min. position and C is max. position.The angle between A and B is 30 degrees and betwwen B and C is 60 degrees). . % & Fig.1 (30 or 60 degrees above indicates turning angle of guide louver). 3.4 Buttons Test button: After energize, press this button, without pressing any other buttons or input of remote-control signal,into forced cooling mode according to nominal cooling condition P1.The unit will be in standby state in 5min. Press this button for above 3s into forced heating mode according to nominal heating condition P1. The unit will be in standby state in 5min.Press this button again during test state to quit and into standby state. Auto button: If press this button when the unit is off , the unit will run under auto mode.If press it when the unit is on, the unit will stop running. 3.5 Sleep Function Setting SLEEP function under COOL or DRY mode, preset temperature will automatically rise by 1 by another 1 after 2 hours. Preset temperature will rise by 2 after 1hour and rise in total within 2 hours. After that, the unit will run at this preset temperature. Set the Temperature T Tpreset +2℃ B B Tpreset +1℃ B B Tpreset B B 1 hour 2 hours Over 2 hours Setting SLEEP function under HEAT mode, the preset temperature will automatically decrease by 1 after 1hour and decrease by another 1℃ after 2 hours. Preset temperature will decrease by 2 ℃ in total within 2 hours. After that, the unit will run at this preset temperature. 1 hour Tpreset B 2 hours Over 2 hours B Tpreset -1℃ B B preset Tpreset -2℃ Set the Temperature T B B No sleep function under fan mode and auto mode. 3.4 Timer Function 1.TIMER ON can be set when the unit is stopped. Upon the time as set , the controller will run under preset mode. The interval of time setting is 0.5h and can be set within 0.5-24h in cycle. 2.TIMER OFF can be set when the unit is running. Upon the time as set ,the unit will be stopped.The interval of time setting is 0.5h and can be set within 0.5-24h in cycle. 3.7 Communication Malfunction Communication malfunction occurs, if the unit can not receivie correct signal for 3 minutes continuously.Under . AUTO HEAT or HEAT mode, the unit runs with blowing residual heat.Under other modes, indoor fan keeps its original . operating state. If signal from wire controller can not be received for 1min continuously, wire controller may not be connected. .. . 7 3.8 Memory Function 1.What can be memorized includes: mode(auto.cool,dry,fan.heat),swing, setting temperature, preset fan speed and so on. 2.If the unit is running before re-energization,the indoor unit will send signal of sta to outdoor unit in 3-min. delay. 3.After re-energization, the unit will run under the state befor power failure. . 4.If indoor unit does not connect wire controller and TIMER function is not set at the last remote control command,the system after power failure will memorize the the last remote control command and it runs at the running mode set at last time.If TIMER function is set at the last remote control command,the system after power failure will automatically cancel TIMER. It should be reset. 5. If the system is connected with wire controller.It will run according to wire contoroller's command before power failure and after re-energization. 3.9 Indoor Indicators 1.Communication indicator of indoor mainboard When indoor unit communicates with outdoor unit or with wire controller, Communication indicator flashes for once. 2. Indicators of indoor light board Under normal operation, red indicator (running indicator), yellow indicator (heating indicator) and green indicator (cooling indicaor) will show according to corresponding running state.Malfunction is shown priorly and many malfunctions are shown in cycle. Note:1) Once malfunction occurs,it will be shown. 2). Malfucntion indicator flashes once every 0.5s.The show interval beween two malfucntions is 3s.
