From the home screen, press to enter the main menu. Use
and to cycle through the menus. Press again to enter one of
the menus.
INFORMATION
▪ Depending on the type of indoor unit you are operating,
more or less menus may be available.
▪ In the main menu, the icon for each menu reflects the

6.1Operation mode
The indoor unit can operate in various operation modes.
IconOperation mode
Cooling. In this mode, cooling will be activated as
required by the setpoint, or by Setback operation..
Heating. In this mode, heating will be activated as
required by the setpoint, or by Setback operation.
Fan Only. In this mode, air circulates without heating
or cooling.
Dry. In this mode, the air humidity will be lowered with
a minimal temperature decrease.
The temperature and fan speed are controlled
automatically and cannot be controlled by the
controller.
Dry operation will not function if the room temperature
is too low.

Depending on the indoor unit, more or less operation
modes are available.
6.1.1About the operation modes
INFORMATION
If the indoor unit is a cooling-only model, it can only be set
to run in Cooling, Fan only, or Dry operation mode.
INFORMATION
If the operation mode changeover of an indoor unit is
under centralised control ('changeover under centralised
control' status icon blinking in the home screen), then it is
NOT possible to change the operation mode of that indoor
unit. For more information, see "Switch Cooling/Heating
master"on page26.
Cooling
If the outdoor air temperature is high, it can take some time until the
indoor room temperature reaches the setpoint temperature.
When the indoor room temperature is low, and the indoor unit is set
to run in Cooling operation mode, the indoor unit can enter Defrost
operation mode first (i.e. Heating operation), this to prevent a
decrease of the system's cooling capacity due to frost on the heat
exchanger. For more information, see "Heating"on page6.
The indoor unit can run in Cooling operation mode because it is
operating under Setback conditions. For more information, see
"15.5.11Setback"on page30.
Heating
When running in Heating operation mode, the system requires a
longer time to reach the setpoint temperature than when running in
Cooling operation mode. To make up for this, it is recommended to
let the system start operation in advance by making use of the timer
function.
The indoor unit can run in Heating operation mode because it is
operating under Setback conditions. For more information, see
"15.5.11Setback"on page30.
To prevent cold drafts and a reduction of the system's heating
capacity, the system can run in the following special heating
operation modes:
INFORMATION
When the system is stopped while the indoor unit is
running in Heating operation mode, the fan will continue to
operate for approximately 1minute, this to get out any heat
remaining in the indoor unit.
INFORMATION
▪ The lower the outdoor air temperature, the lower the
heating capacity. If the system's heating capacity is
insufficient, it is recommended to include another
heating appliance into the setup (if you use a
combustion appliance, ventilate the room regularly.
Also, do not use the heating appliance in places where
it is exposed to the airflow of the indoor unit).
▪ The indoor unit is of the hot air circulation type. As a
result, after operation start, it takes the indoor unit
some time to warm up the room.
▪ The indoor unit fan will automatically operate until the
indoor temperature of the system rises to a certain
level.
▪ When hot air stays under the ceiling and your feet feel
cold, it is recommended to include a circulator into the
setup.
Dry
NOTICE
To prevent water leakage or system failure, do NOT turn
off the system immediately after indoor unit operation.
Before turning off the system, wait until the drain pump
finishes discharging any water remaining in the indoor unit
(approximately 1minute).
INFORMATION
To ensure a smooth start, do not turn off the system while
it is operating.
6.1.2To set the operation mode
1 Navigate to the operation mode menu.

IconDescription
Master
Slave
For more information, see "13.4.1Information screen"on page13.
INFORMATION
It is only possible to use a master and a slave controller of
the same type.
INFORMATION
In case digital input adapter BRP7A5* is part of the
system, it is not possible to connect and designate a
second controller. Connecting a second controller when
the system already contains the adapter, will cause the
adapter to go in error.
INFORMATION
If a slave controller does not display the home screen 2
minutes after its designation, turn off the power and check
the wiring.
INFORMATION
After re-designating a controller, the system requires a
power reset.
12Starting up the system
CAUTION
Before starting up the system, make sure:
▪ The indoor and outdoor unit wiring is completed.
▪ The switch box covers of the indoor and outdoor units
are closed.
The controller gets its power from the indoor unit. It will start up as
soon as it is connected. For the controller to be operable, therefore
make sure the indoor unit is powered on.
Once the controller is powered, it will automatically start up. If it is
the first and only controller that is connected to the indoor unit, it will
automatically get designated as master controller. For a second
controller to get designated as slave controller, manual action is
required. For instructions, see "12.2 To designate a controller as
slave"on page12.
12.1Master and slave controller
INFORMATION
The following functions are not available for slave
controllers:
▪ "Auto" operation mode
▪ Individual airflow direction
▪ Filter auto clean
▪ Setback temperature setpoints
▪ Draught prevention
▪ Duty rotation
12.2To designate a controller as slave
Prerequisite: A master controller is already connected to the indoor
unit.
1 Connect a second controller.
Result: It will start up automatically.
