Note: How to set remote controller exclusively for a particular indoor unit

A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room.
To operate the indoor units individually with each remote controller, assign a number to each remote controller according to the number of the indoor unit.
This setting can be set only when all the following conditions are met:

• The remote controller is powered OFF.
  1. Hold down (1∼4) button on the remote controller for 2 seconds to enter the pairing mode.
  2. Press (1∼4) button again and assign a number to each remote controller. Each press of (1∼4) button advances the number in the following order: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4.
  3. Press button to complete the pairing setting.
     After you turn the breaker ON, the remote controller that first sends a signal to an indoor unit will be regarded as the remote controller for the indoor unit. Once they are set, the indoor unit will only receive the signal from the assigned remote controller afterwards.

SELECTING OPERATION MODES

AUTO mode (Auto change over)

The unit selects the operation mode according to the difference between the room temperature and the set temperature. During AUTO mode, the unit changes mode (COOL↔HEAT) when the room temperature is about 2°C away from the set temperature for more than 15 minutes.

Note:
Auto Mode is not recommended if this indoor unit is connected to a MXZ type outdoor unit. When several indoor units are operated simultaneously, the unit may not be able to switch operation mode between COOL and HEAT. In this case, the indoor unit becomes standby mode (Refer to table of Operation indicator lamp).

COOL mode

Enjoy cool air at your desired temperature.

Note:
Do not operate COOL mode at very low outside temperatures (less than -10°C). Water condensed in the unit may drip and wet or damage furniture, etc.

DRY mode

Dehumidify your room. The room may be cooled slightly. Temperature cannot be set during DRY mode.

HEAT mode

Enjoy warm air at your desired temperature.

FAN mode

Circulate the air in your room.

Note:
After COOL/DRY mode operation, it is recommended to operate in the FAN mode to dry inside the indoor unit.

Note:
Multi system operation

Two or more indoor units can be operated by one outdoor unit. When several indoor units are operated simultaneously, cooling/dry/fan and heating operations cannot be done at the same time. When COOL/DRY/FAN is selected with one unit and HEAT with another or vice versa, the unit selected last goes into standby mode.

DEMAND RESPONSE AND INDOOR UNIT OPERATION (DEMAND TYPE ONLY)

Demand response
This unit has demand response capability which is compliant with AS/NZS 4755.3.1.
To activate this function, you need to make a contract with remote agents such as electric supply company, then this unit should be connected to Demand response enabling devise (DRED). For further information, consult your dealer.
Demand response represents the automated alteration of an electrical product’s normal mode of operation in response to an initiating signal originating from or defined by a remote agent.

This unit supports 3 Demand Response Modes (DRMs).

Note:

• DRM is automatically activated or released according to the signals from DRED. DRM cannot be invalidated or changed manually.
• You might feel this unit does not sufficiently perform cooling or heating operation during DRM.
• Operation settings can be changed as usual with the remote controller during DRM. However, you might not feel cool or warm enough as DRM is prioritized.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

When the remote controller cannot be used…
Emergency operation can be activated by pressing the emergency operation switch (E.O.SW) on the indoor unit.

Note:

• The first 30 minutes of operation is test run. Temperature control does not work, and fan speed is set to High.
• In the emergency heating operation, the fan speed gradually rises to blow out warm air.
• In the emergency cooling operation, the horizontal vanes’ position will be reset in about a minute, then the operation will start.

AUTO RESTART FUNCTION

If a power failure occurs or the main power is turned off during operation, “Auto restart function” automatically starts operation in the same mode as the one set with the remote controller just before the shutoff of the main power. When timer is set, timer setting is cancelled and the unit starts operation when power is resumed. If you do not want to use this function, please consult the service representative because the setting of the unit needs to be changed.
