Demand control

The Energy Saving function

“Demand” indicates the “electricity demand” (average electric consumption over 30 minutes). The basic utility charges for electricity are in many cases determined by the maximum value of demand (the maximum electricity demand). This maximum demand for electricity occurs during summer and winter when the air conditioning

Electricity consumed

Demand 1

Demand 2

Reduced electricity consumption

load is the largest. One way of reducing electric power costs is to suppress the maximum electricity demand during these periods. (Your actual situation depends on your contract with your electricity provider) Furthermore, by suppressing the maximum demand for electricity, you can assist in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and help reduce global warming.

08:00AM 12:00PM 08:00PM Time04:00PM

Demand control means that the air conditioning units are monitored so that their electricity consumption does not exceed a contracted amount, and by setting a level as shown in the following diagram (demand 1, 2, or 3), the performance of the air conditioning units can be controlled so that energy usage is reduced. This unit suppress the maximum demand for electricity through automated control of air conditioning units by demand control output (demand output) signals received from by external equipments.

Energy navigation function

Warning

Do not use the ECONAVI feature in rooms where only disabled people or infants are present.

(It may cause damage to their condition or worsen their health) If there is not much movement for a long time, the ECONAVI sensor may determine that the room is unoccupied and stop the air conditioning unit.

Indoor units will run in energy saving modes according to the amount of human activity detected by ECONAVI sensors (sold separately).

When there is a lot of human activity

z In cooling or drying mode

Operates at the set temperature.

z In heating mode

The air conditioners run at a temperature lower than the set temperature.

When there is not a lot of human activity

z In cooling or drying mode

The air conditioners run at a temperature higher than the set temperature.

z In heating mode

Operates at the set temperature.

When there are no people

When there is a continuous 20 minute period of no people

z In cooling or drying mode

The temperature is set higher than when there are people in the room.

z In heating mode

The temperature is set lower than when there are people in the room.

When there are no people for about an hour

y The units run according to the mode set for when there are no

people. The factory preset is for low energy use operation to continue with the temperature suppressed. (Refer to the operating instructions for the ECONAVI sensor for information on the operation mode when there are no people.)

y If people are detected while operating in the Absent mode, the air

conditioners return to a mode appropriate to the level of activity.

Note

y You can turn on or off the ECONAVI feature on this unit. y You will need a separate remote controller* with ECONAVI functionality in order to make advanced settings for the ECONAVI feature. Refer to

the operating instructions for the remote controller* with ECONAVI functionality for details on how to congure the feature.

y Even if the target temperature is changed by ECONAVI, the set temperature displayed on the unit will not change. y Even if the mode is switched to fan due to the absence of people (standby mode), the mode displayed on the unit will not change. y When running multiple indoor units, the energy reduction effect may be reduced depending on the conditions in the room.

Furthermore, you can put indoor units that will run on the same schedule into “Schedule group”.

Schedules are set according to the following ow.

Setting a schedule

z “Setting a schedule” (P.44)

y Decide a “daily running mode” to set when registering the schedule. You can register up to 50 types of daily running mode.

What is the “daily running mode”?

Scheduling patterns for indoor units (individually or as part of a schedule group) are called “daily running mode”. Daily operating modes are registered as different patterns for schedules to match different days of the week, holidays, and seasons.

Example of daily running mode settings

y Daily running mode for a working day (Monday to Friday) (“Mode1”) y Daily running mode for Saturday (“Mode2”) y Daily running mode for Sunday (“Mode3”)

* Schedule group: Indoor units that run on the same schedule registered in groups. To register into schedule groups, see

“Basic settings on the indoor unit” (P.141).

What is a “setting cell”?

To set a schedule, you need to register operations in “setting cells”. The “setting cell” is the smallest unit of operations used to

congure a schedule.

You set “Time”, “ON/OFF”, “OpertnMode”, “Temperatre”, “Fan SPD”, “Flap”, “Prhbt”, and “EnerSavStg” in a “setting cell”. Each time you change an operation (for example from “ON” to “OFF”), you register a different “setting cell”. A schedule consists of a collection of these “setting cells” lined up.

The following is an example schedule set for an indoor unit.

Setting cell (this example shows “Time” displayed)

1 block equates to a setting cell, so here there are 7 settings.

Operation/Status

Example

The following summarises the ow followed when setting a schedule.

In the “09:00AM” setting cell

y “Time”: 09:00AM y “ON/OFF”: ON y “OpertnMode”: Cool y “Temperatre”: 82 °F (28 °C) y “Fan SPD”: Low y “Flap”: Swing

Example

Checking distribution data in a list

Details about distribution data (distribution ratios, usage, and charges) are displayed in a list.

For indoor units used in tenanted buildings, it can be difcult to know how much electricity is used in each

area because the same air conditioning system may be used across multiple areas. By putting the indoor units in each area into “Distribution group”, rates can be calculated based on the data acquired from the air conditioning units (indoor units and outdoor units) in a “Distribution group”, and this can help you know how much electricity is used in each area. The rate calculated by this is called the “Distribution ratio”.

You need to make the following settings before you can check distribution data.

y Distribution mode settings (P.160) y Area group name settings (P.153)

y Distribution group settings (P.155) y Pulse meter settings (P.158)

Operation/Status

Checking distribution data

Note

y The calculations for distribution made by this unit do not accord with the relevant laws and statutes, so they cannot be used for ofcial

transactions.

y The operating time data accumulated on the indoor units is acquired via a communication adaptor. When this unit sends a request for the

data to the communication adaptor, the communication adaptor makes inquiries to the indoor units about their operating hours, and when collection is complete is transfers the results to this unit. This may result in a difference in counts when moving from one time slot to the next.

y Stopping of indoor units by scheduling is subject to some delays due to communications, so make sure it is not set at the same time as the

“RglrHourRnge stngs” (P.150) time slot is changed over. If the schedule stops operation prior to the change over of a time slot, avoid setting it inside 10 minutes (this may change depending on the state of communications) of the change over of the time slot.

y When there is a problem with the communications between the main unit and the indoor units (or the communication adaptor), it may not

be possible to accumulate by time slot normally. The accumulated values received by this unit are counted in the time slot when they are received.

y The usage in [All hours] in the “Specify time” dialogue is calculated from the distribution ratio distributed overall according to the total

operating data from all time slots. This means that the usages in [RegulrHrs], [OutOfHours], and [SpecifdDay] will not match.

y If you remove an air conditioning unit after accumulating distribution data, all accumulated values for that air conditioning unit are deleted, so

it will not be possible to view distribution data that includes that air conditioning unit after it is removed.

Before removing the unit, output (save) the distribution data as a CSV le to a USB memory device. The output method for CSV les is the same as for outputting logs. (→ “Outputting (saving) the displayed contents as a CSV le” (P.32))
