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

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
"14.5.18Setback"on page39.
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
"14.5.18Setback"on page39.
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
page41.
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 page32.
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 page7.
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 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.

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
"14.5.21Setpoint range"on page40.
▪ 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.
4.3.2 To set the setpoint

INFORMATION
Depending on the indoor unit, more or less operation
modes are available.
12.2.1 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
page41.
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 page32.
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 page18.
The indoor unit can run in Cooling operation mode because it is
operating under Setback conditions. For more information, see
"14.5.18Setback"on page39.
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
"14.5.18Setback"on page39.
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:
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 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.

2 Units ("Unit"),
3 Settings ("SW"), and
4 Values for those settings.
The field settings menus have two levels. You set modes and units
in the first level, and settings and values in the second.
A unit is an individual unit to which a setting might apply.
When making field settings for individual units, this is the place where you define the
number of the unit to which the setting applies.
When making field settings for grouped units, you do NOT set the unit number. The
settings will then apply to all indoor units that are part of that group.

INFORMATION
▪ The "previous state" can be the on/off state, operation
mode, cooling setpoint, and heating setpoint.
▪ When using the contacts, the fan speed as well as the
Setback cooling and heating setpoints can be changed
at any time, without losing changes.
▪ The fan speed is stored independently for the two main
operation modes (Heating and Cooling). Separate fan
speed settings are saved for Heating operation mode
on the one hand, and Cooling, Dry and Fan only
operation mode on the other hand.
▪ When closing the contact, changes made while the key
card contact is open and the delay timer has not
expired (normal operation) will not be saved.
Combination of window contact and key card contact logic
▪ The window contact has priority over the delay timer and the
Setback functionality of the key card contact:
When the window contact is opened while the key card contact is
open, the delay timer will immediately expire if it is still running,
and Setback will not work anymore. The reset timer will
immediately start counting or will not reset when it was already
running.
▪ The reset timer functionality of the key card contact has priority
over the window contact when returning to the previous state:
When the key card contact is opened while the window contact is
open, the delay timer will start running. When the delay timer
expires the reset timer will start running. When the reset timer
expires, the previous state is updated to the "Default Reset
Setting" state.
Example 1
1 You remove the key card.
Result: The indoor unit continues operating normally until the
delay timer expires.
2 You open the window before the delay timer expires.
Result: The indoor unit stops immediately. It is not possible to
turn the unit on or off, the Setback functionality does not work,
the delay timer stops counting, and the reset timer starts
counting.
3 You insert the key card again.
Result: An update of the previous state occurs. The unit is
forced off and the Setback functionality is still disabled (see
"Window contact logic"on page30).
IF the reset timer HAS NOT expired before inserting the key
card, the previous state is the same as the original state
because there was only a change to the original state.
IF the reset timer HAS expired before inserting the key card,
the previous state is the "Default Reset Setting" state.
Example 2
1 You open the window.
Result: The unit stops immediately. It is not possible to turn the
unit on or off with the ON/OFF button, the Setback functionality
does not work, and the delay timer does not start counting.
2 You remove the key card.
Result: The delay timer starts counting.
3 You close the window again.
Result: There is no change in state. It is as if you never opened
the window (Setback will work if enabled).
IF the delay timer HAS expired before closing the window, the
reset timer will have started counting. Closing the window has
no influence on the reset timer.
IF the delay timer HAS NOT expired before closing the window,
it will expire immediately and the reset timer will start counting.
When the reset timer expires, the previous state is updated to
the "Default Reset Setting" state.
4 You insert the key card again.
Result:
IF the reset timer HAS NOT expired before inserting the key
card, the unit returns to the state before the window was
opened (last "on" state);
IF the reset timer HAS expired before inserting the key card,
the unit goes to the "Default Reset Setting" state.

About Cooling/Heating masterhood
If a controller displays … Then …
… NO status icon … The indoor unit connected to
that controller is Cooling/Heating
master.
… a CONSTANT status icon … The indoor unit connected to
that controller is slave to a
Cooling/Heating master.
… BLINKING status icon … NO indoor unit is assigned as
Cooling/Heating master yet.
Operation mode
The operation mode behaviour of the indoor units is according to the
following table:
If the master … Then the slaves …
… is set to "Heating", "Dry", or
"Auto" operation mode
… is set to "Cooling" operation
mode
… is set to "Fan only" mode … can ONLY run in "Fan only"
… start running in the same
operation mode as the master.
No other modes are then
available for them.
... then the slaves cannot run in
"Heating" operation mode, but
can still run in "Cooling", "Fan
only" and "Dry" operation mode.
mode.
Once an indoor unit is set as master, it can be released from
masterhood. For instructions, see "To release Cooling/Heating
masterhood" on page 32. To turn a slave unit/group into the
master, first release the currently active master from its masterhood.
INFORMATION
Ventilation mode changes are possible regardless of
Cooling/Heating masterhood.
To set Cooling/Heating masterhood
Prerequisite: No indoor unit is yet set as Cooling/Heating master
("changeover under centralised control" icon blinking on all
controllers).
Prerequisite: You are operating the controller of the indoor unit that
you want to set as Cooling/Heating master.
1 Navigate to the operation mode menu.
When multiple indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit, one of
these units (or a group of indoor units, in case of group control)
needs to be set as Cooling/Heating master. The other units/groups
then become Cooling/Heating slaves, and are restricted in their
operation by the master (e.g. one outdoor unit does not allow for one
indoor unit to run in Cooling operation while another runs in Heating
operation).
When an indoor unit or group of indoor units is set as Cooling/
Heating master, the other indoor units automatically become its
slaves. For instructions, see "To set Cooling/Heating
masterhood"on page32.
Status icon
Cooling/Heating masterhood corresponds to the following status
icon:
A Heat pump system
B Heat recovery system

INFORMATION
▪ When the software of a controller is out-of-date, the
Madoka Assistant app will suggest a software update
for that controller as soon as you try to connect it (the
controller) to the app.
▪ Checking the current controller software version is
possible from the information screen (see
"12.1.3 Information screen" on page 16) and/or from
the information menu ("About the information menu"on
page33).

13.2 Software update
13.2.1 About software updates
It is strongly recommended that the remote controller has the latest
software version. There are two ways to perform a software update.
Software update Instructions
Madoka Assistant app "13.2.2Software update with
app"on page33
Updating tool "13.2.3Software update with
updating tool"on page34
13.2.2 Software update with app
To update the software with the app:
1 Make sure that Bluetooth is activated on the remote controller
( displayed on the home screen). If not, activate Bluetooth
according to the instructions set out in "To make a Bluetooth
connection"on page33.
2 In the home screen of the app, tap the tile of the remote
controller of which you want to update the software, and follow
the instruction from there.
INFORMATION
The Madoka Assistant app is available from Google Play
and the Apple Store.
INFORMATION
When it is the first time you connect a remote controller to
your device, app and user interface initiate a numeric
comparison procedure. To successfully connect the
controller to the app, follow the procedure.
After each successful connection to a mobile device, the
controller automatically stores information about that
mobile device, this to facilitate future reconnection. This
information is called "bonding information".
When no bonding information is stored, (i.e. at first
connection, or after it got manually removed), you will have
to go through the numeric comparison procedure.
When bonding information is stored, you can connect the
controller to the mobile device just by making the controller
send out a Bluetooth signal and tapping the tile of the
controller in the app. The controller will then connect to the
mobile device automatically.
Bonding information gets stored automatically, and can be
removed manually. Remove the bonding information from
the controller when you want to update the software from
another mobile device than the one the controller contains
information about.
INFORMATION
To connect the remote controller to the mobile device with
Bluetooth, and to perform a software update, it is required
that you stay close to the remote controller (i.e. within
Bluetooth range).

In case of dual setpoint logic, set the Minimum setpoint differential.
This is the minimum difference between the possible setpoints for
Cooling and Heating operation:
▪ Cooling setpoint ≥ (Heating setpoint + Minimum setpoint
differential)
▪ Heating setpoint ≤ (Cooling setpoint – Minimum setpoint
differential)
This means that:
▪ If you lower the Cooling setpoint < (Heating setpoint + Minimum
setpoint differential), then the controller will automatically lower the
Heating setpoint.
▪ If you raise the Heating setpoint > (Cooling setpoint – Minimum
setpoint differential), then the controller will automatically raise the
Cooling setpoint.
DIFF Minimum setpoint differential
INFORMATION
When the indoor units are under control of a centralised
controller, only indoor unit setpoint logic is possible.
14.5.18 Setback
Enable Setback temperature control. Setback is a function that
keeps the room temperature in a specific range when the system is
turned off (by the user, the schedule function, or the OFF timer). To
achieve this, the system temporarily runs in Heating or Cooling
operation mode, according to the setback setpoint and recovery
differential.

14.5.22 Cooling/Heating masterhood
Set an indoor unit (or group of indoor units) as Cooling/Heating
master. When multiple indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit,
one of these units (or a group of indoor units, in case of group
control) needs to be set as Cooling/Heating master. The other units/
groups then become Cooling/Heating slaves, and are restricted in
their operation by the master (e.g. one outdoor unit does not allow
for one indoor unit to run in Cooling operation while another runs in
Heating operation).
When an indoor unit or group of indoor units is set as Cooling/
Heating master, the other units/groups automatically become its
slaves. To turn a slave unit into the master, first connect the app to
the controller controlling the currently active master and release it
from its masterhood, then set the (slave) unit as master.
14.5.19 Individual airflow direction

▪ Outdoor unit field settings can only be configured via
the outdoor unit PCB. For more information, see the
installation manual of the outdoor unit.
▪ Field settings that are not available for a connected
indoor unit are not displayed.
14.5.37 Duty rotation
Activate Duty rotation to let the indoor units operate alternately (one
indoor unit alternately inactive), this to increase system lifespan and
reliability.
Duty rotation is designed for units operating in critical applications
(e.g. in server rooms that require lots of cooling). In these cases, the
system is equipped with an extra backup unit. Activating Duty
rotation then allows for:
▪ Rotation: because the system is equipped with more units than
are required to provide the heating/cooling load, one of the units
can remain inactive during normal operation. After a set time (i.e.
"Rotation cycle time"), the inactive unit will start operation, and a
previously active unit will become inactive (i.e. duty rotation).
Because the units only operate alternately, the lifespan of the
system increases.
▪ Backup: having a backup unit allows for system redundancy. If an
active unit goes into error, Duty rotation makes sure an inactive
one takes over.
Default values
Field setting default values are different depending on the indoor unit
model. For more information, see the service manual of the indoor
units. For the following field settings, the default values are the same
for all indoor unit models:
Field setting Default value
Thermostat sensor 02
Setback 04
Window contact B1 02
Key card contact B2 02
Airflow direction range 02
Remote controller thermostat

Rotation overlap time 03
02
A Inactive backup unit
B Unit in error
INFORMATION
This function can only be used when the indoor units are in
group control.
INFORMATION
▪ To let the backup unit reach its cooling/heating
capacity, an overlap period is included in which all
indoor units are active. For more information, see
"Indoor unit field settings"on page25 (cfr. field setting
1E-7).
▪ The rotation order depends on the set unit number. For
instructions on how to change the indoor units' unit
number, see "14.5.31Unit number"on page42.
