2000P EEV Operation Driver
When the indoor unit receives the following signal:
• Signal to turn OFF
• Indoor unit error signal
• Indoor unit turns to fan mode
• Indoor unit turns to thermo-OFF
• Indoor unit shut down due to low temperature protection of the evaporator
The EEV’s control uses the following logic:
• If the outdoor unit shuts down without cooling capacity requirement:
The EEVs keep previous opening for three minutes. Then EEVs conduct 1200P opening (EEVs whose opening is not equal to
zero will close to 0P first, and then open to 1200 P).
• If the cooling capacity requirement of the outdoor unit is not equal to 0, the EEVs keep the previous opening for 25 seconds
after the indoor unit turns off, and then close to -40P to reset the opening and open to 224P (Standby).
When the indoor unit receives the turn ON signal, the EEVs controls use the following logic:

SUPERHEAT CONTROL
This function is used to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve so that superheat (SH) will reach a targeted superheat
value (SHS).
The superheat is calculated by reading the temperature of the gas pipe thermistor (T2B) and the temperature of the liquid pipe
thermistor (T2A) of the indoor unit.
SH = T2B - T2A SH: Evaporator outlet superheat (°F)
SHS: Target SH value T2B: Indoor unit gas pipe temperature (°F)
T2A: Indoor unit liquid pipe temperature (°F)
DSH: Discharge superheat of outdoor unit
40VMC, F, H, I, L, M, R, U, V, W Series
Initial SHS = 9°F for the first ten minutes after outdoor unit starts. SHS corrections are made according to the following logic:

HEATING OPERATION
Startup and Stop Control of 5000P EEV
When the indoor unit receives any of the following signal:
• signal to turn off
• indoor unit error signal
• indoor unit turns to thermo-off
The EEV’s control uses the following logic:
• If the outdoor unit shuts down without heating capacity requirement:
The EEVs keep the previous opening for three minutes.
Then EEVs conduct 300P opening (EEV whose opening is not equal to 0 will close to 0P first, then open to 300P).
• If the heating capacity requirement of the outdoor unit is not equal to 0:
The EEVs keep previous opening for 25 seconds after the indoor unit turns off, and then close to -16P to reset the opening and
open to 72P (Standby).
When the indoor unit receives the signal to turn ON, the EEV’s control uses the following logic:
Compressor starts > 200s Capacity
Pc > 362 psi requirement = 0
72P standby opening
Pc-Pe > 123 psi

SUBCOOLING CONTROL — This function is used to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve (EEV) so that
subcooling (SC) will reach the target subcooling value (SCS).
Subcooling is calculated as the difference between the condensing temperature (Tc) and inlet pipe temperature (T2A) on the
indoor unit.
SC = Tc - T2A SC: Evaporator outlet subcooling (°F)
SCS: Target subcooling value Tc: Condensing temperature (°F)
T2A: Inlet pipe temperature (°F)
40VMC, F, H, I, L, M, R, U, V, W Series
Initial SCS = 9°F in the first ten minutes after the outdoor unit starts up.
The SCS corrections are made according to the following logic:
1. SCS = 9°F in test operation, trial operation, and forced heating operation.
2. Lack of refrigerant signal = OFF, SCS control uses the follow logic:

DRAIN PUMP OPERATING SEQUENCE
When the indoor unit is in cooling mode, the drain pump operation is on. If the indoor unit stops or changes to another mode, the
drain pump runs for 40 seconds before turning OFF.
The drain pump uses the following sequence of operation:
• The float switch is tripped when the water level rises to a certain level within the drain pan.
Regardless of the indoor unit mode, the drain pump is forced to turn ON immediately.
• The float switch resets when the water level drops below a certain level in the drain pan.
The pump keeps its previous operating condition for another one minute, and then goes to normal operating conditions. Otherwise,
the thermostat turns off and returns an error if the water level does not decrease in three minutes. The preset thermostat mode
operation will not continue until the float switch is reset.
Error code ರEEರ will be reported if the float
switch is not reset within 3min

FREEZE PROTECTION
Freeze protection control is only activated in cooling or dry operation mode. When freeze protection is activated, the cooling
demand turns to zero. The fan speed does not change and the electronic expansion valve is fully closed.
• Freeze protection is activated when the inlet pipe temperature (T2A) is < 30.2°F for 40 minutes or < 23°F for 10 minutes.
• Freeze protection is deactivated when the inlet pipe temperature (T2A) is > 44.6°F for 10 minutes or > 39.2°F for 20 minutes.

The Cold Blow function temperature can be adjusted using the wired remote controller.
HEATER CONTROL — The heater control is conducted as follows:
• Normal Control
While in heating operation, the heater control (ON/OFF) uses the following logic.
18
OPERATION WITH INDOOR CAPACITY OVERLOAD
Total capacity index of the operating indoor units
Operating Combination Ratio =
Capacity index of the outdoor unit
When the operating combination ratio is > 120%, the outdoor unit transmits an overload operation signal to indoor units. All indoor
units* conduct the following operations until the running combination ratio < 105%:
• Enforced low speed for all operating indoor units except for the ones in fan mode.
• The maximum opening of the electronic expansion valves decreases to 1200P for 2000P (350P for the 500P).
It will never go to overload operation when the Heat Recovery system is in simultaneous heating and cooling mode.
* If the fourth code of SW1 is set to ON and the address is set to 63#, the Mode Priority indoor unit is excluded. Only one Mode
Priority indoor unit is allowed to exist in a refrigerant system.
Refer to the dip switch settings in Appendix A of the Indoor Unit Installation Manual.
LOCKING FUNCTION
Part of the indoor unit functions can be locked from the host computer, but the locking instruction affects the remote controller
because the indoor unit will keep its current status.
• Startup locking
If the startup function is locked, the indoor unit can only answer to the startup signal, and it ignores the shutdown signal from
the remote controller.
• Shutdown locking
If the shutdown function is locked, the indoor unit can only answer to the shutdown signal, and it ignores the startup signal
from remote controller.
• The lowest cooling temperature locking
The host computer locks the lowest setting temperature for space in cooling mode. Therefore, the cooling thermostat only
answers to the setting temperature, which is equal to or higher than the locked value. The locked value will be received instead
of the setting temperature, which is lower than it for the indoor unit.
• The highest heating temperature locking
The host computer locks the highest setting temperature for space in heating mode. Therefore, the heating thermostat only
answers to setting temperatures that are < the locked value. The locked value will be received instead of the setting
temperature, which is higher than the one for the indoor unit.
• Fan speed locking
Locks the fan speed setting.

DOUBLE SETTING OF TEMPERATURE
NOTE: This function is only for Heat Recovery systems.
The indoor unit can conduct auto mode described as specified heating and cooling temperature.
• Variation range of the setting temperature in auto-mode:
Cooling: 62°F to 86°F
Heating: 54°F to 86°F
• The Cooling Setting temperature (TSc) should be set before the Heating Set temperature (TSh), and the difference between
TSc and TSh should satisfy the condition: ΔT2 = TSc – TSh ≥ 0°F.
• If ΔT2 ≥ 3°F, ΔT1 = ΔT3 = 1°F
• If 0°F ≤ ΔT2 < 3°F
• ΔT1 = 1°F and ΔT3 = 3°F while the indoor unit is in cooling mode, including cooling thermal-off or fan
• ΔT1 = 3°F and ΔT3 = 1°F while the indoor unit is in heating mode, including heating thermal-off
• The wired controller setting temperature is used to calculate the capacity requirement in Auto mode.
• Temperature display in auto mode:
• While the indoor unit mode is changed from cooling/heating mode to auto mode, the double setting temperature (cooling
and heating) of auto mode is displayed on the controller.
• While the indoor unit mode is changed from auto mode to cooling/heating mode, the double setting temperature TSc or TSh
will be displayed on the controller for cooling or heating operation.
• The factory double setting temperature for Heat Recovery systems is 75.2°F for cooling and 69.8 °F for heating.
• The indoor unit changes its operation mode immediately the first time, but it needs a time interval* from the second time of
operation mode change.

Address Setting
Each indoor unit must have a unique address that can be set from 0-63 for proper system operation.
Indoor unit addressing can be done from the remote controller. The entire system (outdoor units, indoor units, and MDC) are
included, and should be powered on when setting an address by the remote controllers. There is no address for this unit if “FE”
displays on the controller’s LED screen or on the indoor unit’s display board. After setting all indoor unit addresses, cut off the
power supply of indoor units and power on again to clear this error.
The remote controller can also be used to set many additional functions on the indoor unit. For more details, refer to the Remote
Controller’s Installation and Owner’s Manual.
