Demand Control Overview
(1) General outline of control
Demand control is performed by using the external signal input to the 1-2 and 1-3 pins of CN3D on the outdoor units (OC and OS).
Between 2 and 8 steps of demand control is possible by setting Dip SW6-8 on the outdoor units (OC and OS).

P200 - P500YLM-A(1), EP200 - EP500YLM-A models (single-outdoor-unit system) : 2 and 4 steps shown in the rows 1 and 2
in the table above only.
P400 - P900YSLM-A(1), EP500 - EP900YSLM-A models (two-outdoor-unit system OC+OS) : 2-8 steps shown in the rows 1,
2, 3, and 4 in the table above only.
*2 Signal is input to CN3D on the outdoor unit whose SW6-8 is set to ON. When SW6-8 is set to OFF on all outdoor units, the
signal is input to the CN3D on the OC.
Outdoor units whose SW6-8 is set to ON are selectable in a single refrigerant system.
*3 If wrong sequence of steps are taken, the units may go into the Thermo-OFF (compressor stop) mode.
Ex) When switching from 100% to 50%
(Incorrect) 100%→0%→50% The units may go into the Thermo-OFF mode.
(Correct) 100%→75%→50%
*4 The percentage of the demand listed in the table above is an approximate value based on the compressor volume and does
not necessarily correspond with the actual capacity.
*5 Notes on using demand control in combination with the low-noise mode
To enable the low-noise mode, it is necessary to short-circuit 1-2 pin of CN3D on the outdoor unit whose SW6-8 is set to OFF.
When SW6-8 is set to ON on all outdoor units, the following operations cannot be performed.
Performing 4-step demand in combination with the low-noise operation in a single-outdoor-unit system.
Performing 8-step demand in combination with the low-noise operation in a two-outdoor-unit system.

2-step demand control
The same control as the Thermo-OFF is performed by closing 1-3 pin of CN3D.

*1. The outdoor units whose SW6-8 is set to ON are designated as No. 1 and No. 2 in the order of address from small to large.
Ex) When outdoor units whose SW6-8 is set to ON are designated as OC and OS, OC=No. 1 and OS=No. 2.
