WARNING

GENERAL

The ducted fan coil unit provides quiet, maximum comfort. In addition to cooling and/or heating, the ducted fan coil unit matched with an outdoor condensing unit filters and dehumidifies the air in the room to provide maximum comfort.
IMPORTANT: The ducted fan coil unit should be installed by authorized personnel only; using approved tubing and accessories. If technical assistance, service or repair is needed, contact the installer. The ducted fan coil unit can be set up and operated from the remote control (provided). If the remote is misplaced, the system can be
operated from the “Auto” setting on the unit.

OPERATING MODES

The ducted fan coil unit has five operating modes:
S Fan only S Auto S Heating (heat pump models only) S Cooling S Dehumidification (DRY)
Fan Only
In FAN ONLY mode, the system filters and circulates the room air without changing room air temperature.
Auto
In AUTO mode, the system automatically cools or heats the room according to the user−selected set point.
NOTE: AUTO mode is recommended for use on single zone applications only. Using Auto changeover on multi−zone applications could set an indoor unit to STANDBY mode, indicated with two dashes (−−) on the display, which will turn off the indoor unit until all the indoor units are in the same mode (COOLING or HEATING). Heating is the system’s priority mode. Simultaneous HEATING and
COOLING is not allowed.
Heating
In HEATING mode, the system heats and filters the room air.
Cooling
In COOLING mode, the system cools, dries and filters the room air.
Dehumidification (DRY)
In DEHUMIDIFICATION mode, the system dries, filters and slightly cools the room air temperature. This mode prioritizes air dehumidification but it does not take the place of a dehumidifier.

WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control transmits commands to set up and operate the system. The control has a window display panel that displays the current system status. The control can be secured to a surface when used with the mounting bracket provided.

COMMON PROBLEMS

Table 3—Common Problems
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES
The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off.
Unit does not turn on when pressing ON/ OFF
The unit changes from COOL mode to FAN mode
The indoor unit emits white mist
Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mist
The indoor unit makes noises
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises
The outdoor unit makes noises The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit
The unit emits a bad odor
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operate During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/ Defrost) indicators are lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.
In Cooling-only Models: If the “Fan Only” indicator is lit up, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti-freeze protection is activated in order to defrost the unit.
The unit changes its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will resume operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
A low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
A low hissing sound may be heard when the system starts, has just stopped running or is defrosting. This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations.
The unit’s filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
