4. High pressure protection (MUH-GD80VB, MUH-GE50VB) During heating operation, the outdoor fan and the compressor are controlled by the temperature of indoor coil thermistor for excess rise protection of compressor discharge pressure. • Outdoor fan When the temperature of indoor coil thermistor goes to 55°C or more, the outdoor fan is turned OFF. When the temperature of indoor coil thermistor becomes 52°C or less, the outdoor fan is turned ON.

1-4. INDOOR FAN MOTOR CONTROL (1) Rotational frequency feedback control The indoor fan motor is equipped with a rotational frequency sensor, and outputs signal to the microprocessor to feed- back the rotational frequency. Comparing the current rotational frequency with the target rotational frequency (High, Med., Low), the microprocessor controls SR141 and adjusts fan motor electric current to make the current rotational frequency close to the target rotational frequency.

(2) ECONO COOL ( ) operation (ECONOmical operation) When ECONO COOL button is pressed in COOL mode, set temperature is automatically set 2°C higher. Also the horizontal vane swings in various cycle according to the temperature of indoor heat exchanger. SWING operation makes you feel cooler than set temperature.

Mode selection (1) Initial mode At first, indoor unit operates only indoor fan with outdoor unit OFF for 3 minutes to detect present room temperature. Following the conditions below, operation mode is selected.
<SWING operation> In swing operation of ECONO COOL operation mode, the initial air flow direction is adjusted to “Horizontal”. According to the temperature of indoor coil thermistor at starting of this operation, next downward blow time is decided. After the downward blow has been finished, next horizontal blow time is decided. For initial 10 minutes, the swing operation is performed in table G ~ H for quick cooling.
