Thank you for selecting C&H central air conditioner! The wireless remote controller is designed to ensure convenient and efficient operation of your air conditioner. This manual provides detailed instructions on the usage of the wireless remote controller. Please read this manual carefully before use and keep it for future reference. For any questions or assistance, please contact your dealer or our service center.

The wireless remote controller (SPRC-101) offers additional functions such as Health, ECO, Sleep, Boost, Electric Heater, Quiet, I Feel, Wind-free, and Self-cleaning. Please note that not all functions may be supported by your indoor unit. In such cases, the displays on the controller may not synchronize with each other. This is a normal phenomenon.

In situations where your indoor unit does not support the 3D/Ultra function, the displays may not synchronize with each other when set to it. When using a wired remote controller with signal receiving function, the display may vary due to the types of indoor units when setting the lower limit of temperature. This is also a normal phenomenon.

Before Installation
Please check if the following items are complete:

Mounting of Battery

• Insert two AAA dry batteries inside the controller.

Pull out the cover and insert the batteries. Pay attention to the electrode orientation when inserting the batteries.

Instructions

1. Take out the batteries if the controller is not regularly used.
2. Replace both batteries simultaneously.

Description
The wireless remote controller consists of a signal transmission part and a display screen. The signal transmission part allows you to send commands to the indoor unit, while the display screen shows various settings and information such as temperature, operating time, louver position, operation mode, and air volume type. Please note that the displayed icons may vary in practice.

The controller features various buttons with different functions, including Health, Temperature adjustment, Mode selection, ECO mode, Sleep mode, Electric Heater control, Timer settings, Light control, Power ON/OFF, Fan speed adjustment, Louver control, Boost function, Quiet mode, and 3D/Ultra mode.

Signal Transmission
To transmit signals to the indoor unit:

• Point the controller perpendicularly to the receiver on the indoor unit.
• The signal icon will flash to indicate successful transmission.

It is important to ensure that the controller is close to the indoor unit when sending signals. The controller should be perpendicular to the plane where the receiver is located. If the plane is not perpendicular or fluorescent light is used, the transmission distance may be shorter.

When transmitting signals, the controller should be within a cone range of 120 degrees based on the receiver plane. The reception angle becomes larger and the transmission distance gets shorter when the indoor unit is mounted at a low elevation. This may vary depending on the building structure.

Thank you for selecting C&H central air-conditioner!
To ensure using the wireless remote controller correctly, please read this manual carefully before use, and keep it properly. For any questions, please contact your dealer or our service center.

Operation Manual for Wireless Remote Controller
Mode: SPRC-101

Description

Wireless remote controller

• Wireless remote controller is a device transmitting  instructions, such as operation mode and time setting, to indoor unit by pointing to the signal receiver on indoor unit and pressing button to send IR signals.
• The maximum transmission distance is about 5 meters, or even shorter when transmission path of IR signals is not perpendicular to the receiver or when there is any electronic lighting device nearby.
• The controller supports the function to light up backlight automatically. The backlight will light up when vibration or shaking is detected by the controller.

Button Description:

Signal Transmission

• Point signal transmitter on controller to the receiver on indoor unit.
• Operation of sending signals should be close to the indoor unit, and make the controller perpendicular to the plane where the receiver is located. If the plane is not perpendicular or fluorescent light is used at this moment, the transmission distance will be shorter.
• When transmitting signals, the controller should be in a cone range of 120 degree based on the receiver plane. When indoor unit is mounted at a low elevation, the reception angle becomes larger and transmission distance gets shorter, which varies depending on the building structure.
• As battery is exhausting, signal transmission distance will get shorter, and might get failed to control A/C. In such case, replace the batteries in time.

• Please note: the ceiling ducted type A/C shown in the figure above is taken as an example. Other types may vary from this one.
• Signal receiver will beep when signal received. When there is no beeping, the signal is not successfully transmitted, please try again.
• Beep may not be heard due to interference of noises nearby.

Note: In some special cases, such as in centralized control state, the signal is received but indoor unit does not operate, at this point the buzzer gives a long beep for 1 second.

Operation
