10. BACKUP OPERATION (EMERGENCY OPERATION)
This product offers backup modes of operation to tide over certain emergency situations. If a fault occurs in
one of the compressors, it is possible to operate the system on an emergency basis by operating only the
remaining compressor(s), (compressor backup operation).
If one of the outdoor units fails in a combined outdoor unit system, the system can be operated on an
emergency basis by keeping only the remaining outdoor unit(s), (outdoor unit backup operation).
Perform backup operation setting in accordance with the procedure described below.
10-1.Note for Backup Operation
The method of backup operation differs according to the contents of fault as shown in the table below.
Note 1: Keep the number of backed-up outdoor units under compressor backup operation to one in the system
(single refrigerant line). For a three-compressor model, the backing up of two faulty compressors is
prohibited.
Note 2: It is prohibited to combine compressor backup operation and outdoor unit backup operation.
Note 3: With a two-outdoor unit system containing an MMY-MAP120
∗
(or MAP096
∗
) and an MMY-MAP072
∗
,
do not preform outdoor unit backup operation to back up the MMY-MAP120
∗
(or MAP096
∗
).
It could lead to compressor failure due to the abnormal operation.
