WARNING

1. Do not modify the machine, part, material during repairing service.

2. If wiring unit is supplied as repairing part, do not repair or connect the wire even only partial wire break. Exchange the whole wiring unit.

3. Do not wrench the fasten terminal. Pull it out or insert it straightly.

4. Engage authorized dealer or specialist for installation and servicing. If installation of servicing done by the user is defective, it will cause water
leakage, electrical shock or fire.

5. Install according to this installation instructions strictly. If installation is defective, it will cause water leakage, electric shock or fire.

6. Use the attached accessories parts and specified parts for installation and servicing. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, water leakage, fire
or electrical shock.

7. Install at a strong and firm location which is able to withstand the set’s weight. If the strength is not enough or installation is not properly done,
the set will drop and cause injury.

8. For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standard, regulation and the installation instruction. An independent circuit and single outlet
must be used. If electrical circuit capacity is not enough or defect found in electrical work, it will cause electrical shock or fire.

9. This equipment is strongly recommended to be installed with Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Device (RCD).
Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock and fire in case equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.

10. Do not use joint cable for indoor/outdoor connection cable. Use the specified indoor/outdoor connection cable, refer to installation instruction
CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE INDOOR UNIT and connect tightly for indoor/outdoor connection. Clamp the cable so that no external force
will be acted on the terminal. If connecting or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat up or fire at the connection.

11. Wire routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is fixed properly. If control board cover is not fixed perfectly, it will cause
heat-up or fire at the connection point of terminal, fire or electrical shock.

12. When install or relocate air conditioner, do not let any substance other than the specified refrigerant, eg. air etc. mix into refrigeration cycle
(piping). (Mixing of air etc. will cause abnormal high pressure in refrigeration cycle and result in explosion, injury etc.).

13. Do not install outdoor unit near handrail of veranda. When installing air-conditioner unit at veranda of high rise building, child may
climb up to outdoor unit and cross over the handrail and causing accident.

14. This equipment must be properly earthed. Earth line must not be connected to gas pipe, water pipe, earth of lightning rod and
telephone. Otherwise, it may cause electrical shock in case equipment breakdown or insulation breakdown.

15. Keep away from small children, the thin film may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing.

16. Do not use unspecified cord, modified cord, joint cord or extension cord for power supply cord. Do not share the single outlet with
other electrical appliances. Poor contact, poor insulation or over current will cause electrical shock or fire.

11.1 Cooling Operation

Cooling operation can be set using remote control.
This operation is applied to cool down the room temperature to the setting temperature set on the remote control.
The remote control setting temperature, which takes the reading of intake air temperature sensor, can be
adjusted from 16°C to 30°C.
During cooling operation, the compressor will stop and restart as shown in figure below:

11.1.1 Cooling Operation Time Diagram

38
11.2 Soft Dry Operation
Soft Dry operation can be set using remote control.
Soft Dry operation is applied to dehumidify and to perform a gentle cooling to the room.
This operation starts when the intake air temperature sensor reaches -1.5°C from the setting temperature on the
remote control.
When operation begins, Soft Dry will be switched “ON” for a maximum 10 minutes, then Soft Dry operation will be
turned “OFF” for a minimum 6 minutes. After that, the Soft Dry operation will be “ON” and “OFF” based on the
setting temperature as shown in figure below.
However after 3 minutes of compressor off, during Soft Dry “OFF” (within 6 minutes Soft Dry restart control), the
indoor unit will start to operate at normal Cooling mode if the intake temperature is higher than Cooling “ON” point.

11.2.1 Soft Dry Operation Time Diagram

39
11.3 Automatic Operation
Automatic operation can be set using remote control.
This operation starts to operate with indoor fan at SLo speed for 20 seconds to judge the intake air temperature.
After judged the temperature, the operation mode is determined by referring to the below standard.

Then, the unit starts to operate at determined operation mode, until it is switched off using remote control, with
the setting temperature as shown in table below.

The setting temperature for all the operations can be changed one level up or one level down from the standard
temperature as shown in table below by pressing the temperature up or temperature down button at remote

11.4.2 Automatic Fan Speed Control
When set to Auto Fan Speed, the fan speed is adjusted between maximum and minimum setting as shown in the table.
o Fan speed rotates in the range of Hi and Me.
o Deodorizing Control will be activated.

Auto Fan Speed during cooling operation:

1 Indoor fan will rotate alternately between off and on as shown in below diagram.
2 At the beginning of each compressor starts operation, indoor fan speed increases gradually for deodorizing
purpose.
3 For the first time the compressor operates, indoor fan will be switched to Hi fan speed from Lo- after
70 seconds from the start of compressor. This cause the room temperature to achieve the setting
temperature quickly.
4 During compressor stops, indoor fan will operate at Lo- for the beginning 3 minutes to prevent higher volume
of refrigerant in liquid form returning to the compressor.
5 After the compressor turned off for 3 minutes, indoor fan will start to operate at Lo- to circulate the air in the
room. This is to obtain the actual reading of the intake air temperature.
6 For the resume of compressor operation, indoor fan will operate at Me fan speed to provide comfort and
lesser noise environment, after 70 seconds from the restart of compressor.

41
 Auto Fan Speed during Soft Dry operation:
1 Indoor fan will rotate alternately between off and Lo-.
2 At the beginning of each compressor starts operation, indoor fan will increase fan speed gradually for
deodorizing purpose.
3 When compressor turned off for 6 minutes, indoor fan will start at Lo- to circulate the air in the room. This is
to obtain the actual reading of intake air temperature.

11.4.3 Manual Fan Speed Control

Manual fan speed adjustment can be carried out by using the Fan Speed selection button at the remote control.
There are 3 types of fan speed settings: Lo, Me, Hi.

11.4.4 Indoor Fan Motor rpm Abnormal Control

Immediate after the fan motor is started, rpm abnormal control is performed every second.
During fan motor on, if fan motor feedback e” 2550 rpm or < 50 rpm continuously for 10 seconds, the fan motor
error counter increased; fan motor is then stopped and restarted. If the fan motor error counter increased to 7,
then air conditioner will stop operation.

11.5 Outdoor Fan Speed Control (KC18RKY)

There is only one speed for outdoor fan motor.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the compressor and the outdoor fan will operate simultaneously.
Likewise, both compressor and outdoor fan will stop at the same time if the unit is turned off.

11.6 Outdoor Fan Speed Control (KC24RKY)

Outdoor fan speed can be changes to Hi or Lo accordingly to outdoor temperature.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the compressor and the outdoor fan will operate simultaneously.
Likewise, both compressor and outdoor fan will stop at the same time if the unit is turned off.

11.7 Vertical Airflow Direction Control

11.7.1 Auto Control

When the vertical airflow direction is set to Auto using the remote control, the louver swings up and down as
shown in the diagram.
When stops operation using the remote control, the discharge vent is reset and stops at the closing position.
During Cooling operation or Soft Dry operation, indoor fan motor may stop to rotate at certain periods. At that
condition, the louver will stop swinging.

11.7.2 Manual Control

When the vertical airflow direction is set to Manual using the remote control, the automatic airflow is released and
the airflow direction louver move up and down in the range shown in the diagram.
The louver can be adjusted by pressing the button to the desired louver position.
When stop operation using the remote control, the discharge vent is reset, and stop at the closing position.

11.8 Horizontal Airflow Direction Control

The horizontal airflow direction louvers can be adjusted manually by hand.

11.9 Timer Control

11.9.1 ON Timer
When the ON Timer is set using the remote control, the unit will start to operate slightly before the set time, so
that the room will reach nearly to the set temperature by the set time.
For Cooling and Soft Dry operation, the operation will start 15 minutes before the set time.
For Automatic operation, the indoor fan will operate at SLo speed for 20 seconds, 15 minutes before the set time
to detect the intake air temperature to determine the operation mode. The Power indicator will blink at this time.

11.9.2 OFF Timer

When the OFF Timer is set by using the remote control, the unit will stop operate according to the desired setting.
Notes:
1 By pressing ON/OFF operation button, the ON Timer or OFF Timer setting will not be cancelled.
2 To cancel the previous timer setting, press CANCEL button.
3 To activate the previous timer setting, press SET button.
4 If main power supply is switched off, the Timer setting will be cancelled.

43
11.10 Random Auto Restart Control
If there is a power failure during operation, the air conditioner will automatically restart after 3 to 4 minutes when
the power is resumed.
It will start with previous operation mode and airflow direction.
If there are more than one air conditioner unit in operation and power failure occur, restart time for each unit to
operate will be decided randomly using 4 parameters: intake air temperature, setting temperature, fan speed and
air swing louver position.
This random Auto Restart Control is not available when Timer is set.
This control can be omitted by open the circuit of JX02 (refer printed circuit board indoor unit).

11.11 Remote Control Signal Receiving Sound

Short beep sound will be heard when turn ON the air conditioner or enabling other operations.
Long beep sound will be heard when turn OFF the air conditioner or disabling other operations.

44
12. Protection Control

12.1 Restart Control (Time Delay Safety Control)

When the thermo-off temperature (temperature which compressor stops to operate) is reached during:
o Cooling operation – the compressor stops for 3 minutes (minimum) before resume operation.
o Soft Dry operation – the compressor stops for 6 minutes (minimum) before resume operation.
If the operation is stopped by the remote control, the compressor will not turn on within 3 minutes from the
moment operation stop, although the unit is turn on again within the period.
This phenomenon is to balance the pressure inside the refrigerant cycle.

12.2 7 Minutes Time Save Control

The compressor will start automatically if it has stopped for 7 minutes and the intake air temperature falls
between the compressor ON (A) temperature and compressor OFF temperature (B) during the period.
This phenomenon is to reduce the built up humidity inside a room.

12.3 60 Seconds Forced Operation

Once the air conditioner is turned on, the compressor will not stop within 60 seconds in a normal operation
although the intake air temperature has reached the thermo-off temperature. However, force stop by pressing the
OFF/ON button at the remote control is permitted.
The reason for the compressor to force operation for minimum 60 seconds is to allow the refrigerant oil run in a
full cycle and return back to the outdoor unit.

12.4 Starting Current Control

When the compressor, outdoor fan motor and indoor fan motor are simultaneously started, the indoor fan motor
will start to operate 1.6 second later.
The reason of the difference is to reduce the starting current flow.

12.5 Freeze Prevention Control

If the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls below 2°C continuously for 4 minutes or more, the
compressor turns off. The fan speed setting remains the same.
This phenomenon is to protect the indoor heat exchanger from freezing and to prevent higher volume of
refrigerant in liquid form returning to the compressor.
Compressor will restart again when the indoor heat exchanger temperature rises to 10°C (Recovery).
Restart control (Time Delay Safety Control) will be applied in this Control if the recovery time is too short.

45
12.6 Compressor Reverse Rotation Protection Control
If the compressor is operating continuously for 5 minutes or longer and the temperature difference between
intake air and indoor heat exchanger is 2.5°C or less for continuously 2 minutes, compressor will stop and restart
automatically.
Time Delay Safety Control is activated before the compressor restart.

Compressor starts for ≥ 5 minutes Compressor Compressor

restart
5T ≤ 2.5°C for 2 minutes OFF

5T = Intake air temperature – Indoor heat exchanger temperature

This is to prevent compressor from rotate reversely when there is an instantaneous power failure.
If this condition happens continuously for 5 times within 50 minutes, unit will turns OFF with TIMER indicator
blinks.
The 5 Times counter can be reset when either one of the following condition happen:
o Unit is OFF by remote control or AUTO OFF/ON button.
o Indoor intake temperature – Indoor piping temperature > 5°C for 1 minute or more.
o Operation mode change.
The unit could be ON by pressing OFF/ON button at remote control but the TIMER LED will continue blinking.
TIMER LED blinking will be reset if:
o Indoor intake temperature – Indoor piping temperature > 5°C for 1 minute or more.
o Power supply reset.

This control will be activated if:
o Cooling mode.
o Remote Control setting temperature is less than 25°C.
o Fan speed is at CLo.
o Room temperature is constant (±1°C) for 30 minutes.
o Compressor is continuously running.
Fan speed will be adjusted accordingly in this control.
o Fan speed will be increased slowly if the unit is in quiet mode but no change in normal cooling mode.
