Key components:
1. Oil separator:
Separates oil from gas refrigerant pumped out of the compressor and quickly returns it to the compressor. Separation
efficiency is up to 99%.
2. Accumulator:
Stores liquid refrigerant and oil to protect compressor from liquid hammering.
3. Electronic expansion valve (EXV):
Controls refrigerant flow and reduces refrigerant pressure.
4. Four-way valve:
Controls refrigerant flow direction. Closed in cooling mode and open in heating mode. When closed, the heat
exchanger functions as a condenser; when open, the heat exchanger functions as an evaporator.
5. Plate heat exchanger:
In cooling mode, it can improve super-cooling degree and the super-cooled refrigerant can achieve better heat
exchange in indoor side. In heating mode, the refrigerant comes from the plate heat exchanger going to the

2 Stop Operation
The stop operation occurs for one of the three following reasons:
1. Abnormal shutdown: in order to protect the compressors, if an abnormal state occurs the system makes a 'stop with
thermo off' operation and an error code is displayed on the outdoor unit digital displays.
2. The system stops when the set temperature has been reached.
3. A unit stops when the load demanded by the indoor units decreases and can be handled by fewer outdoor units.
When a unit stops because the load demanded by the indoor units has decreased and can be handled by fewer outdoor
units, the unit's four-way valve remains on until the load demanded by the indoor units increases and the unit is required
to operate. When the whole system stops, all the units' four-way valves turn off.
3 Standby Control
3.1 Crankcase Heater Control
The crankcase heater is used to prevent refrigerant from mixing with compressor oil when the compressors are stopped.
The crankcase heater is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature and discharge temperature. When the
outdoor ambient temperature is above 40°C, the crankcase heater is off; when the outdoor ambient temperature is below
35°C, the crankcase heater is controlled according to discharge temperature. Refer to Figures 3-3.1 and 3-3.2.

4 Startup Control
4.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control
In initial startup control, compressor startup is delayed for 12 minutes in order to let the master unit search for the indoor
units’ addresses. In restart control (except in oil return operation and defrosting operation), compressor startup is delayed
such that a minimum of 7 minutes has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor
on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system.

5.2 Compressor Output Control
The compressor rotation speed is controlled according to the load requirement. Before compressor startup, the outdoor
units first estimate the indoor unit load requirement according to the nominal capacity of indoor units currently running,
and then correct for ambient temperature. The compressors then start up according to the corrected load requirement.
During operation the compressors are controlled according to the nominal capacity of indoor units currently running and
the indoor unit heat exchanger temperatures. If the actual load requirement can be provided by one unit alone, then only
one unit starts up. If the actual load requirement requires all outdoor unit modules to operate, the weighted average
actual load requirement is sent to each module and each module operates according to this distributed load
requirement.
(BP2). In multi-unit systems, units operate in rotation. In Figures 3-5.2 to 3-5.4 the master unit and slave units 1, 2 and 3
are shown from left to right in that order, and the circled numbers (①, ②, ③, ④) indicate the rotation sequence.

2.1 Warning
Warning
All electrical work must be carried out by competent and suitably qualified, certified and
accredited professionals and in accordance with all applicable legislation (all national, local and other laws,
standards, codes, rules, regulations and other legislation that apply in a given situation).
Power-off the outdoor units before connecting or disconnecting any connections or wiring, otherwise electric
shock (which can cause physical injury or death) may occur or damage to components may occur.

72
V6 VRF 50Hz
2.2.5 Procedure
E0
ODU addresses on switch ENC1 are set Yes Set the ODU addresses correctly
incorrectly1
No
Notes:
1. The master unit address should be set as 0, slave units addresses should be set from 1 to 3, and the addresses should not be repeated within one system.
2. All the wires for H1, H2, E connections should be three-core shielded cable, the wiring should be connected according to polarity (H1 to H1, etc), the wiring
should not be open or short circuited.

2.3.5 Procedure
E1
The phase sequence of the 3-phase Yes Exchange any two of the 3 phase wires
power supply is incrorrect1
No
The power supply is abnormal Yes Check the power supply equipment
No
Notes:
1. The A, B, C terminals of the 3-phase power supply should match compressor phase sequence requirements. If the phase sequence is inverted, the
compressor will operate inversely. If the wiring connection of each outdoor unit is in A, B, C phase sequence, and multiple units are connected, the current
difference between C phase and A, B phases will be very large as the power supply load of each outdoor unit will be on C phase. This can easily lead to
tripped circuits and terminal wiring burnout. Therefore if multiple units are to be used, the phase sequence should be staggered, so that the current is
distributed among the three phases equally.
2. Loose power supply terminals can cause the compressors to operate abnormally and compressor current to be very large.

2. Measure the resistance among the three terminals of the pressure sensor. If the resistance is of the order of mega Ohms or infinite, the pressure sensor
has failed.
3. An insufficiency of refrigerant causes compressor discharge temperature to be higher than normal, discharge and suction pressures to be lower than
normal and compressor current to be lower than normal, and may cause frosting to occur on the suction pipe. These issues disappear once sufficient
refrigerant has been charged into the system. For normal system parameters refer to Table 6-3.4 and 6-3.5 in Part 6, 3.2 “Normal Operating Parameters of
Refrigerant System”.
4. A low pressure side blockage causes compressor discharge temperature to be higher than normal, suction pressure to be lower than normal and
compressor current to be lower than normal, and may cause frosting to occur on the suction pipe. For normal system parameters refer to Table 6-3.4 and
6-3.5 in Part 6, 3.2 “Normal Operating Parameters of Refrigerant System”.
5. In cooling mode check indoor heat exchangers, fans and air outlets for dirt/blockages. In heating mode check outdoor heat exchangers, fans and air outlets
for dirt/blockages.
