What does VRF-01 mean?

On a heat-pump (non-heat-recovery) VRF system, some indoor units call for heating while others call for cooling.

Why does it matter?

The losing zones get nothing while the outdoor unit hunts; comfort complaints and wasted compressor hours.

What should you do?

Group zones with similar loads on each outdoor unit, use master-mode selection or a heat-recovery system where loads genuinely differ.
