Installer and user reference guide

BRC1H81W+S7

Wired remote controller

4P513690-1C – 2019.05

4 Operation

Icon Operation 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.

Ventilation.In this mode, the space gets ventilated, but not cooled or heated.

Air Clean. In this mode, the optional air cleaning unit operates.

Ventilation + Air Clean. Combination of ventilation and air clean operation.

Auto. In Auto mode, the indoor unit automatically switches between heating and cooling mode, as required by the setpoint.

The indoor unit can run in Cooling operation mode because it is operating under Setback conditions. For more information, see

"14.5.18Setback"on page39.

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

"14.5.18Setback"on page39.

To prevent cold drafts and a reduction of the system's heating capacity, the system can run in the following special heating operation modes:

Operation Description

Defrost To prevent the loss of heating

capacity due to frost accumulation in the outdoor unit, the system will automatically switch to defrost operation.

During defrost operation, the indoor unit fan will stop operation, and the following icon will appear on the home screen:

INFORMATION

Depending on the indoor unit, more or less operation modes are available.

4.2.1 About 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

When operation modes are not available in the operation mode menu, it is additionally possible that they are locked. The locking of operation modes occurs through the Madoka Assistant app. For more information, see the Madoka Assistant app and "14.5.28 Function lock" on

page41.

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 "Cooling/Heating

masterhood"on page32.

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 page7.

The system will resume normal operation after approximately 6 to 8 minutes.

Hot start (VRV only) During hot start, the indoor unit

fan will stop operation, and the following icon will appear on the home screen:

INFORMATION

When the system is stopped while the indoor unit is running in Heating operation mode, the fan will continue to operate for approximately 1minute, 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.

4.2.2 To set the operation mode

1 Navigate to the operation mode menu.

2 Use and to select an operation mode.

Numerical Symbolic

In case the setpoint is a numerical value, you control the room temperature by raising or lowering the setpoint by 1°C increments.

In case the setpoint is a symbol, you control the room temperature by raising or lowering the setpoint in relation to the "reference setpoint" (visually indicated by the marker in the middle of the thermometer). It is possible to raise the setpoint three steps of 1°C above and three steps of 1°C below the reference setpoint.

Example: if the reference setpoint is 25°C, it is possible to raise the setpoint to 28°C and lower it to 22°C..

3 Press to activate.

Result: The indoor unit changes its operation mode and the

controller returns to the home screen.

4.3 Setpoint

The setpoint is the target temperature for the Cooling, Heating, and Auto operation modes.

INFORMATION

The lower setpoint limit of the Cooling operation mode is 20°C, as per UAE Federal regulation UAE.S 5010-5:2016 clause 6, and UAE.S 5010-1:2016 clause 10.

4.3.1 About the setpoint

Home screen setpoint

Depending on configuration, the home screen displays the temperature setpoint either as a numerical value, or as a symbol.

INFORMATION

Setpoint control is limited by any limitations set to the setpoint range. For more information, see

"14.5.21Setpoint range"on page40.

▪ Numerical: it is only possible to raise or lower the

setpoint up/down to the maximum/minimum setpoint range limits.

▪ Symbolic: it is only possible to raise or lower the

setpoint up/down to the maximum/minimum setpoint range limits, despite the set reference temperature. Example: if the reference temperature is 25°C, you can normally lower the setpoint three steps to 22°C. However, if the minimum setpoint range limit is set to 24°C, you can only lower the setpoint to 24°C.

INFORMATION

For how to set the home screen setpoint and configure the reference setpoint, see the Madoka Assistant app.

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 "10.2 To designate a controller as

slave"on page14.

10.1 Master and slave controller
