Friedrich Digital Control Features
The new Friedrich digital PTAC has state of the art features to improve guest comfort, indoor air quality and conserve energy .
Through the use of specifi cally designed control software for the PTAC industry Friedrich has accomplished what other Manufactur-
er’s have only attempted – a quiet, dependable, affordable and easy to use PT A C.
Below is a list of standard features on every Friedrich PTAC and their benefi t to the owner.

By digitally monitoring desired room temperature the room is controlled more precisely than conventional systems. The large, easy
to read LED display can show either set-point or actual room temperature as selected by owner.
When the unit is powered of f t he unit c an b e retur ne d direc tly to he ating o r c oo ling mo de by pressing t he ‘ H eat’ or ‘Cool’ butt ons
without the confusing power up sequence of some controls. One-touch control takes guesswork out of unit control delivering a more
enjoyable experience and eliminating front-desk calls.
By having separate control buttons and indicators for both fan and mode settings the Friedrich digital control eliminates the confusion of previous digital PTACs. The accurate temperature setting provides greater guest comfort than other systems.
The fan start and stop delays prevent abrupt changes in room acoustics due to the compressor energizing or stopping immediately.
Upon call for cooling or heating the unit fan will run for fi ve seconds prior to energizing the compressor. Also, the fan off delay allows
for “free cooling” by utilizing the already cool indoor coil to its maximum capacity by running for 30 seconds after the compressor.
Some applications r equire the use of a wall mo unted therm ostat. A ll new Friedric h PTACs may be switched from unit contro l to
remote thermostat control easily without the need to order a special model or accessory kit.
Guests can adjust the temperature and mode of the unit through the use of an optional hand held wireless remote, improving guest
comfort and relaxation.
The new Friedrich digital P TAC features a self diagnostic program t hat c an al ert maintenance to compo nent failur es or op erat ing
problems. The internal diagnostic program saves properties valuable time when diagnosing running problems.
The self diagnosis program will also sto re err or c odes in mem or y if c er t ain c onditions o cc ur and cor rec t themse lves such as extreme high or low operating conditions or activation of the room freeze protection feature. Storing erro r codes can help properties
determine if the unit faced obscure conditions or if an error occurred and corrected itself.
Constant Comfort
Room Monitoring
Electronic Temperature

Room Freeze
Protection

Digital Defrost
Thermostat
The on-board processor monitors time between demand cycles (heat or cool) and will cycle the fan every 9 minutes to sample the
room condition and determine if the desired conditions are met. This allows the room to have similar benefi ts to a remote moun ted
stat without the complication or cost of a wall mounted thermostat.
By limiting the operating range the property can save energy by eliminating “max cool” or “max heat” situations common with older
uncontrolled systems. The new electronic control allows owners to set operating ranges for both heating and cooling independently
of one another.
When the PTAC senses that the indoor room temperature has fallen to 40°F the unit will cycle on high fan and the electric strip heat
to raise the room temperature to 46°F then cycle off again. This feature works regardless of the mode selected and can be turned
off. The control will also store the Room Freeze cycle in the service code memory for retrieval at a later date. This feature ensures
that unoccupied rooms do not reach freezing levels where damage can occur to plumbing and fi xtures.
Multiple compress ors st ar ting at once c an of ten cause el ectr ical overloads and pr emature unit failure. The rand om restar t delay
eliminates multiple units from starting at once foll owing a p ower out ag e or initial p ower up. The c o mpres s or delay will r ange from
180 to 240 seconds.
The new Friedrich PTAC uses a digital thermostat to ac c ur ately monito r th e outdo or coil conditions to allow t he heat pump to run
whenever conditions are cor rect. Running the PTAC in heat pump mode save energy and reduces operating c osts. The digit al
thermostat allows maximization of heat pump run time.

Emergency Heat Override
Desk Control Ready
Indoor Coil Frost Sensor
Heat pump models will automatically run the electric heater to quickly bring the room up to temperature when initially energized,
then return to heat pump mode. This ensures that the room is brought up to temperature quickly without the usual delay associated with heat pump units.
The digital control monitors indoor conditions to ensure that the room temperature is within fi ve degrees of the setpoint. If neces-
sary the unit will cycle the e lectric heat to main tain the temperature. This feature ensures guest comfort by delivering the heating
benefi ts of an electric heater while maintaining the effi ciency benefi ts of a heat pump.
The owner may choose between fan cycling or fan continuous mode based on property preference. (Note: Even heat monitoring and quiet start/stop fan delay only operate in fan cycle mode) Fan continuous mode is used to keep constant airfl ow circula-
tion in the room during all times the unit is ‘ON’. Fan cycle will conserve energy by only operating the fan while the compressor
or electric heater is operating.
In the event of a compressor failure in heat pump mode the compress o r may be lo cked out to provide heat through the resis tance heater. This feature ensures that even in the unlikely event of a compressor failur e t he r o om temp er atur e can be maintained until the compressor can be serviced.
All Friedrich digital P TACs have low voltage terminals ready to connec t a desk c ont ro l energy managem ent system. Cont rol ling the unit from a remote location like the front desk can reduce energy usage and requires no additional accessories at the
PTA C.
The frost sensor protects the compressor from damage in the event that airfl ow is reduced or low outdoor temperatures cause
the indoor coil to freeze. When the indoor coil reaches 30°F the compressor is diabled and the fan continues to operate based
on demand. Once the coil temperature returns to 45°F the compressor returns to operation.

The new Friedrich PD seri es unit s featur e a indoo r fan system design t hat re duc es s ound levels with out lower ing airfl ow and
preventing proper air circulation.
The Friedrich PTAC benefi ts quality components and extensive development to ensure a quiet, effi cient and dependable unit.
Friedrich’s single-motor design allows for enhance d outdo or airfl ow and simplifi es the unit design without the need for redun-
dant components.
High effi ciency rotary compressors are used on all Friedrich PTACs to maximize durability and effi ciency .
The Friedrich PTAC features a 24V AC terminal for connection to an auxiliary fan that may be used to transfer air to adjoining
rooms. Auxiliary fans can provide conditioning to multiple rooms without the requirement of multiple PTAC units.
All Friedrich PTACs are built with .04" endplates made from aluminum as opposed to steel. The endplates are typically the most
susceptible area for corrosion and aluminum is far more resistant to corrosion than even coated steel.
Optional Seacoast protection is available to protect the outdoor coil from harsh environments. The Friedrich Seacoast process
includes dipping the entire outdoor coil in a 7-step coating process that provides superior protection to only coating the fi ns of
the coil.
All Friedrich PTAC return air fi lters feature an anti-micr obial element that has proven to prevent mold and bacterial grow th in
laboratory testing. PDXFT replacement fi lter kits feature the same anti - micro bial agent. A ll fi lters are washable and reusable
and are easily accessed from the top of the unit without the removal of the front cover.
Filtered Fresh Air Intake

Friedrich PTAC units are capable of introducing up to 70 CFM of outside air into the conditioned space. The outdoor air passes
through a washable mesh fi lter to prevent debris from entering the airstream.
