FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

■ Operation menu

This central remote controller enables the individual operation/stop
by zone, and unified operation/stop. ON/OFF operation controlled by
timer is possible in conjunction with the schedule timer (optional
accessory).

■ Various operation modes.

You can operate the system from both this unit and the remote
controller, so to enable various operation control patterns. Twenty
different operation modes are available including five operation
patterns: ON/OFF control impossible by remote controller, only OFF
control possible by remote controller, centralized, individual and
centralized (ON/OFF control possible by remote controller only with
the timer ON); and temperature setting possible/impossible by
remote controller and operation mode selecting possible /impossible
by remote controller.

■ Zone control for simpler operation

You can control a maximum of 64 groups of indoor units by using
this central remote controller. You don’t have to repeat the same
setting operations by group because you can make each of the
following settings by zone.

䡬 Operation mode
䡬 Control mode
䡬 Setting temperature
䡬 Programming time No. (Used in conjunction with the

schedule timer)

■ Monitor and display operating conditions of
indoor units by group

You can display operating conditions such as operation mode and
preset temperature; maintenance information such as time to clean,
etc.; and information on trouble such as malfunction codes.

❈ “Time to clean” sign refers to the following functions.

䡬 Display the time to clean air filter and the air cleaner element

of electric dust collector for each group.

䡬 Display the time to clean when signaled from any given

group.

See page

28–30.

■ Function of refrigerant system display

This display helps you understand, at a glance, the indoor units
sharing the same outdoor unit and the particular indoor unit among
them that is set as the master remote controller.

● Utilizing one of the PC board adaptors (optional accessories) will enable you to combine this unit with the split
A/C units and unitary A/C.
However, be sure to refer to the installation manual attached to each PC board adaptor for function limitations.

attention to the following points in setting the zone.

1. The control mode must be the same for all groups

in the zone.

2. The scheduled operation must be the same for all

groups in the zone, if the operation is controlled by

by remote controller, for a total of twenty different modes. These twenty modes are set and displayed with control
modes of 0 to 19. (For further details, see EXAMPLE OF OPERATION SCHEDULE on the next page.)

● ON/OFF control impossible by remote controller .......... Use this mode when operating and stopping from the

central remote controller only. (ON/OFF control by
the remote controller is disabled.)

● Only OFF control possible by remote controller ............ Use this mode when executing the operation only by

the central remote controller, and executing only the
stop by remote controller.

● Centralized ........................................................................ Use this mode when executing the operation only by

the central remote controller, and executing opera­tion/stop freely by remote controller during the preset
hours.

● Individual ........................................................................... Use this mode when executing operation/stop both

by central remote controller and remote controller.

● Timer operation possible by remote controller............... Use this mode when executing operation/stop by

remote controller during the preset hours, and not
starting operation by the central remote controller at
the programmed time of system start.

HOW TO SELECT THE CONTROL MODE

SETTING OPERATION
MODE (Fig. 5)

● The Zone consists of the following

two cases.

A. Zone without display “ ”

The group with master remote controller setting
exists in this zone.

Setting the master remote controller enables cool/
heat selection.

Operations other than cool/heat operations can
also be set for some operations. For further
details, see the list on the right.

B. Zone with display “ ”

No group with master remote controller setting
exists in this zone.

The cool/heat selection is not available because
the master remote controller has not been set.

Some operations other than cool/heat operations
can be set. For further details, see the list in the
right.

See page 31 if the display “ ” is flashing.

Press the OPERATION MODE
SELECTOR BUTTON. Each time
you press this button, the display
rotates as shown on the right list.

NOTES

● During cool/heat operation, this central remote
controller enables FAN operation for each zone
even without setting the master remote controller.
Meanwhile, ventilation, ventilation/cleaning, etc. are
available, if UM etc. are connected with this unit in
the zone. See the operation manual provided with
the each unit.

● When the indoor unit is in heat operation, change
the setting to FAN operation through the central
remote controller; then, you can switch the fan
speed to the extremely low fan speed. Warm air
may blow if any other indoor unit belonging to the
same system is in heat operation.

● The indoor fan stops during defrost/hot start.

● DRY cannot be set from the central remote control-

ERROR DIAGNOSING
FUNCTION (Fig. 8)

This central remote controller is provided with a
diagnosing function, for when an indoor unit stops due
to malfunction. In case of actuation of a safety
device, disconnection in transmission wiring for
control or failure of some parts, the operation lamp,
inspection display and unit No. start to flash; then, the
malfunction code is displayed. Check the contents of
