  "text": "(78)‘active mode’ means the mode corresponding to the hours with a cooling or heating load of the building and whereby the cooling or heating function of the unit is activated. This condition may involve on/off-cycling of the unit in order to reach or maintain a required indoor air temperature;\n(79)‘standby mode’ means a condition where the warm air heater, comfort chiller, air conditioner or heat pump is connected to the mains power source, depends on energy input from the mains power source to work as intended and provides only the following functions, which may persist for an indefinite time: reactivation function, or reactivation function and only an indication of enabled reactivation function, and/or information or status display;\n(80)‘reactivation function’ means a function facilitating the activation of other modes, including active mode, by remote switch including remote control via network, internal sensor, timer to a condition providing additional functions, including the main function;\n(81)‘information or status display’ is a continuous function providing information or indicating the status of the equipment on a display, including clocks;\n(82)‘off mode’ means a condition in which the equipment is connected to a mains power source and is not providing any function other than—\n(a)an indication of off mode condition; or\n(b)functionalities intended only to ensure electromagnetic compatibility pursuant to the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations 2016;\n(83)‘thermostat-off mode’ means the condition corresponding to the hours with no cooling or heating load, whereby the cooling or heating function is switched on but the unit is not operational; cycling in active mode is not considered as thermostat-off mode;\n(84)‘crankcase heater mode’ means the condition in which the unit has activated a heating device to avoid the refrigerant migrating to the compressor to limit the refrigerant concentration in oil at compressor start;\n(85)‘off mode power consumption’ (POFF ) means the power consumption of unit in off mode, expressed in kW;\n(86)‘thermostat-off mode power consumption’ (PTO ) means the power consumption of the unit while in thermostat-off mode, expressed in kW;\n(87)‘standby mode power consumption’ (PSB ) means the power consumption of the unit while in standby mode, expressed in kW;\n(88)‘crankcase heater mode power consumption’ (PCK ) means the power consumption of the unit while in crankcase heater mode, expressed in kW;\n(89)‘off mode operating hours’ (HOFF ) means the annual number of hours [hrs/a] the unit is considered to be in off-mode, the value of which depends on the designated season and function;\n(90)‘thermostat-off mode operating hours’ (HTO ) means the annual number of hours (hrs/a) the unit is considered to be in thermostat-off mode, the value of which depends on the designated season and function;\n(91)‘standby mode operating hours’ (HSB ) means the annual number of hours [hrs/a] the unit is considered to be in standby mode, the value of which depends on the designated season and function;\n(92)‘crankcase heater mode operating hours’ (HCK ) means the annual number of hours (hrs/a) the unit is considered to be in crankcase heater operation mode, the value of which depends on the designated season and function.",
