Abstract

Abstract A control device for an air conditioner can prevent an erroneous operation in the starting and ending of a test run. The control device can start the test run of the air conditioner through the operation of a switching device after electrical power is supplied to the control device, and can end the test run when the operation data is received from a remote controller.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 257 words
A control device for operating a test run of an air conditioner, with a wireless remote controller for transmitting operating data to said air conditioner, having: a receiving circuit for receiving the operating data; a switching means having at least two switching positions; a microprocessor for operating said air conditioner in response to the operating data received by said receiving circuit; a power source for supplying electrical power to said microprocessor; said microprocessor scanning a position of said switching means and thereafter inputting the operating data from said receiving circuit during the time when the electrical power is supplied to said microprocessor; wherein said microprocessor comprises: a first means for starting an operation of said air conditioner in response to the operating data when said switching means is in a first position; a second means for maintaining the operation of said air conditioner in a forced stopping state so as to ignore the operating data when said switching means is in a second position; a third means for starting said test run of said air conditioner when said switching means is changed first from the second position to the first position after said switching means is placed in the second position thereof by an initial and effective scanning of said microprocessor; and a fourth means for changing from the test run and carrying out the operation of said air conditioner in response to the operating date when said receiving circuit receives the operating data from said wireless remote controller during the test run of said air conditioner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 257 words
A control device for operating a test run of an air conditioner, with a wireless remote controller for transmitting operating data to said air conditioner, having: a receiving circuit for receiving the operating data; a switching means having at least two switching positions; a microprocessor for operating said air conditioner in response to the operating data received by said receiving circuit; a power source for supplying electrical power to said microprocessor; said microprocessor scanning a position of said switching means and thereafter inputting the operating data from said receiving circuit during the time when the electrical power is supplied to said microprocessor; wherein said microprocessor comprises: a first means for starting an operation of said air conditioner in response to the operating data when said switching means is in a first position; a second means for maintaining the operation of said air conditioner in a forced stopping state so as to ignore the operating data when said switching means is in a second position; a third means for starting said test run of said air conditioner when said switching means is changed first from the second position to the first position after said switching means is placed in the second position thereof by an initial and effective scanning of said microprocessor; and a fourth means for changing from the test run and carrying out the operation of said air conditioner in response to the operating date when said receiving circuit receives the operating data from said wireless remote controller during the test run of said air conditioner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 64 words
A control device according to claim 1, wherein said microprocessor comprises further a fifth means for changing the operation of said air conditioner from the test run to the forced stop state and for maintaining said operation in said forced stop state when said switching means is changed from the first position to the second position during the test run of said air conditioner.
