3. Demand control
1) General outline of control
Demand control is performed by using the external signal input to the 1-2 and 1-3 pins of CN3D on the outdoor units (OC and OS).
Between 2 and 8 steps of demand control is possible by setting Dip SW4-4 on the outdoor units (OC and OS).
*1 Available demand functions
Single-outdoor-unit system: 2 and 4 steps shown in the rows 1 and 2 in the table above only.
Two-outdoor-unit system OC+OS : 2-8 steps shown in the rows 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the table above only.
*2 External signal is input to CN3D on the outdoor unit whose SW4-4 is set to ON. When SW4-4 is set to OFF on all outdoor units,
the signal is input to the CN3D on the OC.
Outdoor units whose SW4-4 is set to ON are selectable in a single refrigerant system.
*3 If wrong sequence of steps are taken, the units may go into the Thermo-OFF (compressor stop) mode.
Ex) When switching from 100% to 50%
(Incorrect) 100%→0%→50% The units may go into the Thermo-OFF mode.
(Correct) 100%→75%→50%
*4 The percentage of the demand listed in the table above is an approximate value based on the compressor volume and does
not necessarily correspond with the actual capacity.
*5 Notes on using demand control in combination with the low-noise mode
To enable the low-noise mode, it is necessary to short-circuit 1-2 pin of CN3D on the outdoor unit whose SW4-4 is set to OFF.
When SW4-4 is set to ON on all outdoor units, the following operations cannot be performed.
Performing 4-step demand in combination with the low-noise operation in a single-outdoor-unit system.
Performing 8-step demand in combination with the low-noise operation in a two-outdoor-unit system.
2) Contact input and control content
2-step demand control
The same control as the Thermo-OFF is performed by closing 1-3 pin of CN3D.
4-step demand control (When SW4-4 is set to ON on an outdoor unit)
Demand capacity is shown below.
8-step demand control (When SW4-4 is set to ON on two outdoor units)
Demand capacity is shown below.
*1. The outdoor units whose SW4-4 is set to ON are designated as No. 1 and No. 2 in the order of address from small to large.
Ex) When outdoor units whose SW4-4 is set to ON are designated as OC and OS, OC=No. 1 and OS=No. 2.
