12 POWER-SELECTION AND SILENT OPERATION (OUTDOOR UNIT)

Power-Selection ()
This function is used when the circuit breaker is shared with other electrical appliances. It limits the maximum current and power consumption to 100%, 75%, or 50% and can be implemented by POWER-SELECTION. The lower percentage, the higher saving and also longer compressor lifetime.

Note:

• When the level is selected, POWER-SEL level flashes on remote LCD display for 3 seconds. In case of 75% and 50% level, number “75” or “50” also flashes for 2 seconds.
• Due to the reason that POWER-SELECTION function limits the maximum current, inadequate cooling capacity may occur.

Silent Operation ()
Keep outdoor unit operating silently to ensure either yourself or neighborhood will have a tight sleep in nighttime. By this feature, the cooling capacity will be optimized to deliver such silent experience. The silent operation can be selected from one of two purposes (Silent 1 and Silent 2).
There are three setting parameters: Standard level > Silent 1 > Silent 2

Silent 1:
Though operating silently, the Cooling capacity is still prioritized to ensure having sufficient comfort inside the room.
This setting is a perfect balance between the Cooling capacity and the Sound level of outdoor unit.

Silent 2:
Compromising the Cooling capacity to the Sound level in any circumstance where the outdoor unit’s sound level is highly prioritized.
This setting has a purpose to reduce the maximum sound level of outdoor unit by 4 dB(A).

Note:

• While activating of Silent operation, inadequate cooling capacity may occur.
