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 Manufacturer’s have only
attempted – a quiet, dependable, affordable and easy to use PTAC.
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 off the unit can be returned directly to heating or cooling mode by pressing the ‘Heat’ or ‘Cool’ buttons
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 require the use of a wall mounted thermostat. All new Friedrich PTACs may be switched from unit control 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 PTAC features a self diagnostic program that can alert maintenance to component failures or operating
problems. The internal diagnostic program saves properties valuable time when diagnosing running problems.
The self diagnosis program will also store error codes in memory if certain conditions occur and correct themselves such as extreme
high or low operating conditions or activation of the room freeze protection feature. Storing error codes can help properties determine if the unit faced obscure conditions or if an error occurred and corrected itself.

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 mounted
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 compressors starting at once can often cause electrical overloads and premature unit failure. The random restart delay
eliminates multiple units from starting at once following a power outage or initial power up. The compressor delay will range from
180 to 240 seconds.
The new Friedrich PTAC uses a digital thermostat to accurately monitor the outdoor coil conditions to allow the heat pump to run
whenever conditions are correct. Running the PTAC in heat pump mode saves energy and reduces operating costs. The digital
thermostat allows maximization of heat pump run time.

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
necessary the unit will cycle the electric heat to maintain 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 circulation 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 compressor may be locked out to provide heat through the
resistance heater. This feature ensures that even in the unlikely event of a compressor failure the room temperature can
be maintained until the compressor can be serviced.
All Friedrich digital PTACs have low voltage terminals ready to connect a desk control energy management system. Controlling the unit from a remote location like the front desk can reduce energy usage and requires no additional accessories
at the PTAC.
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 series units feature a indoor fan system design that reduces sound levels without lowering airfl ow
and preventing proper air circulation.
The Friedrich PTAC benefi ts from quality components and extensive development to ensure a quiet, effi cient and depend-
able unit.
Friedrich’s single-motor design allows for enhanced outdoor airfl ow and simplifi es the unit design without the need for
redundant 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.
Diamonblue (seacoast protection) protects the outdoor coil from harsh environments. Comes standard on all PTAC units.
All Friedrich PTAC return air fi lters feature an anti-microbial element that has proven to prevent mold and bacterial growth
in laboratory testing. PDXFT replacement fi lter kits feature the same anti-microbial agent. All fi lters are washable and reus-
able 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 mesh screen to prevent debris from entering the airstream.
