8. FUNCTION
8-1. Room Temperature Control
● Room temperature control is obtained by cycling the compressor ON and OFF under control of the room
temperature sensor in the remote control unit.
● The room temperature (and other information) is transmitted every 3 minutes by the remote control unit to
the controller in the indoor unit.
● The control circuit will not attempt to turn the compressor ON until the compressor has been OFF for at
least 3 minutes. To protect the compressor from stalling out when trying to start against the high side
refrigerant pressure, the control circuit has a built-in automatic time delay to allow the internal pressure to
equalize.
● As a protective measure, the control circuit switches the compressor OFF after 5 minutes or more of com-
pressor operation.
● Thermo ON : When the room temperature is above T + 2°F (T°F is set temperature).
Compressor → ON
● Thermo OFF : When the room temperature is equal to or below set temperature T°F.
