CONTROL SYSTEM FUNCTION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER]

id0740001075a1

Outline of Control System

• In the full-auto air conditioner system, the climate control unit carries out five basic types of controls based on signals from various sensors and control signals from the climate control unit. The climate control unit also has three supplementary functions.

() :
L.H.D. (except intensely hot area)
*1 :
Setting temperature fluctuates up or down in increments of 0.5, within the range of 18.0 to 32.0 (R.H.D., intensely hot area) or 15.0 to 29.0 (L.H.D. (except intensely hot area)). When the fan is OFF, the setting temperature can be adjusted in the range of ±1.0.
*2 :
Goes up to the closest manual voltage to auto voltage or defroster correction voltage.
*3 :
Goes down to the closest manual voltage to auto voltage or defroster correction voltage.
*4 :
Coolant temperature correction takes precedence.
*5 :
Returns to condition prior to defroster operation. However, if it is off prior to defroster operation, it switches to automatic control.

() :
L.H.D. (except intensely hot area)
*1 :
Setting temperature fluctuates up or down in increments of 0.5, within the range of 18.0 to 32.0 (R.H.D., intensely hot area) or 15.0 to 29.0 (L.H.D. (except intensely hot area)). When the fan is OFF, the setting temperature can be adjusted in the range of ±1.0.
*2 :
If operated when in defroster correction, it returns to the condition prior to defroster operation.
*3 :
Ambient temperature correction takes precedence. If operated when in defroster correction, it returns to the condition prior to defroster operation. However, if it is off prior to defroster operation, it switches to automatic control.
*4 :
Ambient temperature correction takes precedence. When the fan is OFF, the A/C is fixed at off.
