Defrost
Melts frost which might collect on outdoor heat exchangers during heating in order to recover their heat
transfer performance.
Conditions for executing defrost

∗
Tair = Outdoor air temperature
The values of (
α
) according to defrost temperature changeover switch are given in the table below.
Therefore, if outdoor temperature is 0˚C:
(1) If position L, Tcoil (R2-1T, R2-2T)
≤
-12˚C
(2) If position M, Tcoil (R2-1T, R2-2T)
≤
-10˚C
(3) If position H, Tcoil (R2-1T, R2-2T)
≤
-8˚C
Because defrost operation is carried out, set to the “H” position if frost builds up easily, and set to “L” if not.
Factory set is position “M.”
OR
&
At least 20 minutes have elapsed since completion of oil return or since compressor starts.
High pressure < 20k (Tc = 52.4ºC)
Compressor is running at least 30 minutes since completion of previous defrost.
Either liquid pipe thermal detection temperature (R2-1T, R2-2T) < TºC for 5 minutes.
&
Forced defrost test pin (MDS) is shorted.
Liquid pipe thermal detection temperature (R2-1T, R2-2T) < 12.5ºC for all units
High pressure < 20k (Tc = 52.4ºC)
