Wireless Remote Control Unit (Optional parts)

Parts Name and Functions

NOTE
The illustration above pictures the wireless remote control unit after the cover has been lowered and removed.

NOTE

• The wireless remote control unit sends the temperature signal to the air conditioner regularly at five-minute intervals. If the signal from the wireless remote control unit stops for more than ten minutes due to the loss of the wireless remote control unit or other trouble, the air conditioner will switch to the temperature sensor which is built into the indoor unit and control the room temperature. In these cases, the temperature around the wireless remote control unit may differ from the temperature detected at the air conditioner’s position.
• When low fan speed is selected and the air conditioner is in cooling operation at a low outdoor temperature of less than 50°F, the air conditioner may automatically switch to medium fan speed to prevent freezing.

Receiver

The signal receivers with the exception of the separately installed signal receiver are mounted on the indoor units.

A:| Receiver| This section picks up infrared signals from the wireless remote control unit (transmitter).
---|---|---
Indication lamps| One of these lamps will blink when trouble has occurred. When an indicator lamp starts to blink, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 14.
| B: Operation lamp| This lamp lights when the appliance is turned on.
C: Timer lamp| This lamp lights when the system is being controlled by the timer.
D: Standby lamp-| This lamp lights at the following times during heating operations:

• When operation has started, when the thermostat has been activated, during a defrosting operation
• The lamp blinks when trouble has occurred.

E:| Emergency operation button| This is used when operation cannot be performed due to trouble with or loss of the wireless remote control unit.
F:| ADDRESS switch| This switch is used in order to prevent the sending of signals to the wrong indoor unit when a multiple number of indoor units that can be operated by the wireless remote control units have been installed in the same room.
G:| SWING button| When this button is pressed, the airflow sweeps up and down automatically.
H:| FILTER lamp| This lamp lights to indicate that it is time to clean the filter.

• If two beeps are heard, the operation lamp among the indication lamps has lighted and the timer lamp and standby lamp blink alternately in cases where heat pump models are used, this indicates a cooling/heating mode mismatch and, as such, operation in the desired mode cannot be performed. (The same beeps will be heard and the same operation lamps will light when auto cooling/heating has been selected on a model which does not have the auto cooling/heating function.)
• When local operation has been set to disable because the centralized control mode is established, for instance, pressing the ON/OFF operation button, MODE button or temperature setting buttons results in the sounding of five beeps, and the attempted change in the operation will not be accepted.

   • Dispose of the used batteries at the designated location.

How to use the wireless remote control unit

• Point the wireless remote control unit’s transmitter at the signal receiver. If the signal is received properly, a beep is heard. (Two beeps are heard only when operation starts up.)
• Signals can be received over a distance of approximately 26 ft. This distance is approximate: it may be slightly more or less depending on how much charge remains in the batteries and on other factors.
• Ensure that the signals will not be blocked by any objects positioned between the transmitter and signal receiver.
• Avoid placing the wireless remote control unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or in the direct path of the air blown out from the air conditioner, near a heating appliance, etc.
• Do not drop, throw or wash the wireless remote control unit.
• Signal reception may not be accepted in rooms with fluorescent lights that use the electronic instantaneous lighting system (rapid start system) or inverter system. For further  details, contact your dealer.

• Doing so may cause operational errors.
• Make absolutely sure that the wireless remote control unit and signal receiver are both in the same room.
• When operating the wireless remote control unit, point it directly at the signal receiver.
• A beep is heard when a signal is received properly.
•  Avoid places where the wireless remote control unit will be obscured by curtains, etc. Remove it before operation.

Address Settings
When a multiple number of indoor units that can be operated by the wireless remote control unit have been installed in the same room with a multi-unit or single-unit installation, this button enables addresses to be set in order to prevent the sending of signals to the wrong indoor unit. Each of up to six indoor units can be controlled separately using its own wireless remote control unit by matching the number of the address switch on the operation area of the indoor unit and the number used for the address of its wireless remote control unit. (The indoor units cannot be controlled separately when they are used in a flexible combination format, simultaneous operation of multi units format or any other such format since they will all operate at the same time.)

How to check the addresses
The signal receiver has an address switch for signal reception, and the wireless remote control unit has an address switch for signal transmission.
When the ADDRESS button on the wireless remote control unit is pressed, the current address appears on the wireless remote control unit’s display. The buzzer sounds if the address displayed matches the signal receiver’s address. (The buzzer always sounds if “ALL” appears as the address display.)
If “ALL” appears as the address display, operations can be performed irrespective of the signal receiver’s address. Point the wireless remote control unit at the signal receiver of the unit to be operated, and send the signal.

How to set the matching address

Wireless remote control unit’s address setting

1.  When the ADDRESS button is held down for 4 or more seconds, “ ” lights on the  wireless remote control unit’s display, and the current address blinks.
2. Each time the ADDRESS button is now pressed, the address changes by one setting in the following sequence: Select the setting which matches the setting of the address switch in the operation area of the indoor unit to be operated.
3. When the SET button is now pressed, the address stops blinking and lights instead, and it remains on the display for 5 seconds.
   The buzzer sounds if the setting matches the setting of the address switch in the operation area of the indoor unit.

NOTE
 When the batteries are replaced, the address setting returns to “ALL”.

Emergency Operation
In any of the following events, use the Emergency operation button to operate the air conditioner on a makeshift basis.

• When there is no charge remaining in the wireless remote control unit’s batteries

Special Remarks

‘‘DRY’’ Operation
How it works 

• Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit repeats the cycle of turning on and off automatically.
• In order to prevent the humidity in the room from rising again, the indoor fan also turns off when the unit stops operating.
• The fan speed is set to ‘‘LO.’’ automatically, and cannot be adjusted.
• ‘‘DRY’’ operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 59°F or less.

Heating Operation

• Heating performance 
  • Because this appliance heats a room by utilizing the heat of the outside air (heat pump system), the heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat cannot be obtained with this heat pump, use another heating appliance in conjunction with this unit.
• Defrosting
  • When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the outdoor heat exchanger coil, reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a microcomputer-controlled defrosting system operates. At the same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops (or runs at very low speed in some cases) and the ‘‘STANDBY’’ indicator appears on the display until defrosting is completed. Heating operation then restarts after several minutes. (This interval will vary slightly depending upon the outdoor temperature and the way in which frost forms.)

(standby) on the display

• For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor fan will not start running (or it will run at very low speed in some cases) until the indoor heat exchanger coil has warmed up sufficiently. This is because a cold draft prevention system is operating. During this period, the ’’ (standby) indicator remains displayed.
• ****(standby) remains displayed during defrosting or when the compressor has been  turned off (or when the unit is running at very low speed) by the thermostat when the system is in the heating mode.
• Upon completion of defrosting and when the compressor is turned on again, ****(standby) will turn off automatically as heating operation resumes.

NOTE

• Should the power fail while the unit is running
  If the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resume operation (once the power is restored) using the same settings before the power was cut off.
