1.3 EEV control


(1) Main EEV control
Main EEV operates with fuzzy control rules to keep the degree of super Heat(Superheat)
(about 3 ℃(37.4 ℉))at the evaporator outlet stable during heating mode
The degree of Superheat = Tsuction - Tevaporation
Tsuction : temperature at suction pipe sensor(℃,℉)
Tevaporation : evaporation temperature equivalent to low pressure(℃,℉)

(2) Subcooling EEV control(about 15 ℃(59 ℉))


Subcooling EEV works with fuzzy rules to keep the degree of Subcool at the outlet of subcooler during
cooling mode
The degree of Subcool = Tcondensation - Tliquid
Tliquid : temperature at outlet of subcooler(℃,℉)
Tcondensation : condensation temperature equivalent to high pressure(℃,℉)

(3) Avoiding excessive high discharge temperature : when main EEV opens some given opening and dis-
charge temperature is above 85 ℃(185 ℉) in heating operation, subcooling EEV may control the "sub-
cooling out temperature-evaporating temperature" to be some given difference.

5. Example of manual valve addressing (Zoning setting)


(In case that an indoor unit of central control address "11" is connected to a valve #1 of an HR unit)
Zoning control is connecting 2 or more indoor units at one pipe of HR unit. In case of Zoning control, in order to set controls with
multiple indoor units connection uses the rotary switch. Namely, only the rotary switch changes from same valve set condition and
set indoor units connection.
1) On dip switch of the corresponding valves and sets the rotary switch at 0.
2) Setting the number with tact switch.
3) In case of addition of indoor units to same port, increases 1 with the rotary switch and sets number with tact switch.
4) In case of checking the number which the corresponding valve is stored, turn on dip switch and set the number of rotary switch.
5) Indoor units set available 7 per a port(rotary switch 0~6), in case of setting above of 7 with rotary switch, it will display error.
6) Setting the rotary switch on original condition(HR unit number set conditions) after all finishing a piping setting.
7) The rotary switch set value of above number of indoor units which is connected with FF and prevents a malfunction.
(Example: The case where 3 indoor units is connected in piping 1, sets from rotary switch 0,1,2 and 3,4,5 with FF set)
• Prerequisite for manual valve addressing: central control address of each indoor unit must be preset differently at its wired remote
control.

5. Example of manual valve addressing(Zoning setting)


(In case that indoor units of central control address “11”, “12” respectively are connected to a valve #1 of an HR Unit.)
Zoning control is connecting 2 or more indoor units at one pipe of HR unit. In case of Zoning control, in order to set controls with
multiple indoor units connection uses the rotary switch. Namely, only the rotary switch changes from same valve set condition
and set indoor units connection.
1) On dip switch of the corresponding valves and sets the rotary switch at 0.
2) Setting the number with tact switch.
3) In case of addition of indoor units to same port, increases 1 with the rotary switch and sets number with tact switch.
4) In case of checking the number which the corresponding valve is stored, turn on dip switch and set the number of rotary switch.
5) Indoor units set available 8 per a port(rotary switch 0~7), in case of setting above of 8 with rotary switch, it will display error.
6) Setting the rotary switch on original condition(HR unit number set conditions) after all finishing a piping setting.
7) The rotary switch set value of above number of indoor units which is connected with FF and prevents a malfunction.
(Example: The case where 3 indoor units is connected in piping 1, sets from rotary switch 0,1,2 and 3,4,5,6,7 with FF set)

Test Run

Test Run
1. Checks Before Test Run

1 Check to see whether there is any refrigerant leakage, and slack of power or communication cable.

2 Confirm that 500 V megger shows 2.0 MΩ or more between power supply terminal block and ground.
Do not operate in the case of 2.0 MΩ or less.
NOTE: Never carry out megaohm check over terminal control board. Otherwise the control board
would be broken.
Immediately after mounting the unit or after leaving it turned off for an extended length of time,
the resistance of the insulation between the power supply terminal board and the ground may
decrease to approx. 2 MΩ as a result of refrigerant accumulating in the internal compressor.
If the insulation resistance is less than 2 MΩ, turning on the main power supply and energizing
the crankcase heater for more than 6 hours will cause the refrigerant to evaporate, increasing
the insulation resistance.

3 Check if high/low pressure common pipe, liquid pipe and gas pipe valves are fully opened.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten caps.

4 Check if there are any problems in automatic addressing or not:


Check and confirm that there are no error messages in the display of indoor units or remote controls
and LED in outdoor units.

CAUTION
when cutting main power of the Multi V
• Always apply main power of the outdoor unit during use of product
(cooling season/heating season).
• Always apply power before 4 hours to heat the crank case heater where performing test run after
installation of product. It may result in burning out of the compressor if not preheating the crank
case with the electrical heater for more than 4 hours.(In case of the outdoor temperature below 10°C)

CAUTION
Preheat of compressor
• Start preheat operation for 4 hours after supplying main power.
• In case that the outdoor temperature is low, be sure to supply power 4 hours before operation so
that the heater is heated(insufficient heating may cause damage of the compressor.)

[Cautions when measuring voltage and current of inverter power circuit]


Measuring values may differ depending on measuring tools and measuring circuits since voltage, current in the
power supply or output side of the inverter has no since waveform.
Especially, output voltage changes when output voltage of the inverter has a pattern of pulse wave.
In addition, measuring values appear largely differently depending on measuring tools.
1) If using a movable tester when checking that output voltage of the inverter is constant (when comparing rela-
tive voltage between lines), always use an analog tester. Especially exercise particular caution if the output
frequency of the inverter is low, when using a movable tester, where change of measured voltage values is
large between other lines, when virtually same values appear actually or where there is danger to determine
that failure of the inverter occurred.
2) You can use rectification voltmeter ( ) if using commercial frequency tester when measuring output values
of the inverter (when measuring absolute values). Accurate measuring values cannot be obtained with a gen-
eral movable tester (For analog and digital mode).

2.5 Pressure Sensor(High/Low Pressure Sensor)


Connect manifold gauge to the service valve of outdoor unit, and compare the output of high pressure sensor to
the output of low pressure sensor to detect the defect.
below) Compare the output of pressure sensor to the output of manifold gauge pressure using the table below.
Read the pressure clearly between black and white as the composition of pressure sensor.

<Low Pressure Sensor> <High Pressure Sensor>


OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS

1) If the pressure of manifold gauge is 0~1 kg/cm2, it indicates the pressure got lower due to the leakage of refrig-
erant. Find the place of leakage and fix it.
2) If the difference of the outputs of high and low pressure is in the range of 1 kg/cm2, the pressure sensor is normal.
3) If the difference of the outputs of high and low pressure is over 1 kg/cm2, the pressure sensor is out of order, it
need to be replaced.
4) The composition of pressure sensor

High Pressure Sensor : 0~5 MPa


Pressure Vout 0.5~3.5 V
sensor Low Pressure Sensor : 0~2 MPa
Vout 0.5~3.5 V
(Red) VC,
DC 5 V±5 %
(White)
(Black)

The pressure sensor is composed like the circuit picture shown above. If DC 5 V voltage flows on red and black
wire, voltage would be made between the white and black wire. The pressure which is equivalent to the pressure
output is shown in the table above.

2.6 Outdoor Fan


1) The outdoor fan is controlled by the inverter motor which can control the number of rotations.
2) The outdoor fan is controlled by the high/low pressure of the outdoor unit after the operation of compressor.
3) There is possibility that the outdoor fan does not operate due to low capacity operation or low outdoor tempera-
ture even if the compressor is operating. This does not mean breakdown of the unit, the fan will start operating if
it reaches the set point.

have following problems
¿ wrong connection of communication cable or power cable
¡ fault of power / PCB / communication cable
¬ duplication of indoor unit number
• If communication is not doing well wholly then the Auto Addressing is not done
• The case that CH53 appear at indoor unit also Auto Addressing is not done so indoor unit address may be duplicated

* After replacement of indoor unit PCB, Auto Addressing should be done, if central controller is installed then the
