4.1 Temperature Compensation Control
Because of the installation position of Indoor Unit and different layout, indoor temperature detected by Indoor Unit may
not consist with actual temperature. Indoor temperature could be compensated by controller (The parameter code is”N25”
“N26”)
When the IDU is powered on again or the ODU is stopped, the system automatically enters initialization mode. After
initialization is completed, the system enters the normal start mode. The IDU EXV uses superheat degree control in cooling
mode and uses supercool degree control in heating mode. If the IDU receives a protection control or special control
command, this command is executed in priority.

4.3 Start and Stop Control
Indoor Unit judges the operation state according to the difference value between detected indoor temperature (T1) and
set temperature (TS). When the indoor temperature reaches the set one, Indoor Unit shut down; when the indoor
temperature exceeds the set one, Indoor Unit start running.
Objective
1. Ensure comfort. When the indoor temperature of indoor return air reaches the temperature range set by the user, if
the IDU fails to shut down, the room temperature will deviate from the expected value of the user and reduce the
comfort of the room.
2. Energy saving. When the temperature of the return air reaches the temperature range set by the user, if the IDU fails
to shut down, the air conditioning system will continue to operate inefficiently under the condition of low indoor load,
with low energy efficiency and no energy saving.

switching is the same as the temperature before switching.
2) In auto mode, switching between cooling and heating mode takes some time. The time can be set through the
controller.
4.7 Controlling the Condensate Water Pump and Water Level Switch
1) When the IDU is powered on the first time, the water pump is forced to operate for 5 minutes.
2) When the IDU and ODU are in cooling, dehumidification and self-cleaning mode, the water pump starts immediately
and operates continuously. After this mode is stopped (stop or mode switch), the water pump turns off five minutes
later.
3) If the water level rises, causing the water level switch to be disconnected, the condensate water pump immediately
starts and operates. Five minutes later, if the water level drops to lower than the alarm level, the system restores
operation based on the originally set mode. Otherwise, the IDU and water pump stop operating, and a water level
alarm is reported. When the water level switch is connected again, the protection is released, and the system restores
operation based on the mode that was originally set.
Note:
This function is reserved for the unit models without drainage pumps and water level switches and it is disabled by default.
The IDU will close Electronic expansion valve, and the wind shift into speed 1.

Note:
1. The error code corresponds to the following two situations:
a. If there is only one electronic expansion valve port on the main control board of the IDU, when an
error occurs in the electronic expansion valve coil connected to the EXV port, the error code is b05.
b. If there are two electronic expansion valve ports on the main control board of the IDU named
EXV1 and EXV2, when an error occurs in the electronic expansion valve coil connected to port
EXV1, the error code is b05; when an error occurs in the electronic expansion valve coil connected
to port EXV2, the error code is b07.
2. In Figure 1 below: The numbers 1 to 5 stand for the pins of different colours paired with
individual wires which have the same colour as the pin. 5(com) is a pin of the common terminal,
and number 6 is a null pin without any wire connected; an XHP coil plug is used to connect to the
EXV port of the main control board, and an APM coil plug is used to connect to the A-direction plug
of the adapter wire (see Figure 2 below). Table 1 shows the resistance between pin 1-4 and pin 5
(the common terminal) when the electronic expansion valve coil is in a normal state. If the
resistance is near zero or significantly deviates from its normal state, the coil is damaged.

3. When the distance between the throttle part and the main control board of the IDU in need of
connection is too great, you will need an adapter wire for the electronic expansion valve coil. This
is shown in Figure 2 below: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the pin in the
plug at end A of each wire and at end B. A resistance value close to 0 indicates a short circuit has
occurred in the wire, and a resistance value close to infinity indicates an open circuit of the wire.

V8 VRF Indoor Units
Note:
1. The plug attached to the WATER port of the main control board corresponds to the following two cases:
a. The factory default of IDUs without a water level switch uses a short-circuit plug to seal the WATER port.
b. IDUs with a water level switch use a water level switch plug to seal the WATER port.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the pins corresponding to the two wires of the water
level switch plug. 1) After the floater of the water level switch is moved upwards to the highest position, the
water level switch is in a short-circuited state, and the resistance value is infinite. 2) After the floater of the
water level switch is moved downwards to the lowest position, the water level switch is closed, and the
resistance value is less than 0.25 Ω. If the detected resistance value does not meet the above values, the
water level switch is damaged.
3. Possible causes and solutions for the situation where the pump outlet does not discharge water or the
discharge flow is very small: 1) The water pump plug to the PUMP port in the IDU main control board is
loose. Reconnect it firmly. 2) The drain pump suction impeller is clogged. Remove the debris causing the
clog to make the pump continue running. 3) If the error cannot be cleared after implementing solutions for
causes 1) and 2), the drain pump body is damaged. Replace the drain pump.
4. Possible causes and solutions for abnormal drainage due to non-standard installation: 1) If the drain pipe
is blocked, remove the debris and clean the drainage pan and the drain pipe of the IDU. 2) If the drain pipe is
improperly installed, which causes the condensate water to flow backward, tilt the IDU to the drainage side
by a certain gradient (inclination ≥ 1%). The centralized drain pipe must be lower than the drainage outlet of
the unit. Air outlets must be placed at the highest horizontal pipeline (see Installation and Operation Manual
Troubleshooting Guide
of IDUs). 3) If the lift of the drain pipe exceeds the allowable value, reduce the vertical height of the drain
pipe or replace the drain pump with the one which has a higher lift.
