8-2. Dry Operation (Dehumidification)
● Dry operation uses the ability of the cooling cycle to remove moisture from the air, but by running at low
level to dehumidify without greatly reducing the room temperature. The air conditioner repeats the cycle of
turning ON and OFF automatically as shown in the chart below according to the room temperature.
● Intermittent ventilation occurs by switching the indoor fan speed between L ↔ LL.
● Dry operation does not occur when the room temperature is under 59°F, which is the Monitor Zone.
● When the compressor stops, the indoor fan stops as well.
8-3. Freeze Prevention
● This function prevents freezing of the indoor heat exchange coil.
● When the compressor has been running for 10 minutes or more and the temperature of the indoor heat
exchange coil falls below 34°F, the control circuit stops the compressor for at least 6 minutes. The com-
pressor does not start again until the temperature rises above 46°F or 6 minutes have elapsed.
