Features
This unit is a centralized air conditioning management system designed for use with precision air
conditioning systems (Panasonic VRF and Mini-split, air conditioning systems for ofces and shops, and
multi-split systems for buildings).
z With one of these units you can connect and control up to 128 indoor units (2 systems of 64 units each) and 60 outdoor units (2 systems of
30 units each).
z By connecting a communication adaptor this can be increased to 256 indoor units and 120 outdoor units.
z The unit is equipped with a 10.4-inch TFT colour touch panel display (1024 x 768 dots), enabling intuitive operation.
Operation and status P.23
You can check operational status (ON/OFF, operating
mode, alarms, etc.) of all indoor units and outdoor units in
real time.
You can also select indoor units to change their settings.
Operation scheduling P.40
You can register daily operation schedules (ON/OFF time,
operating modes, set temperatures, etc.) for individual
indoor units or groups of indoor units.
Operations can be scheduled for up to 2 years in advance.
Distributing air conditioner
energy usage P.71
You can view cumulative operating times for indoor units,
operating times for outdoor units, and operation cycles in a
list. (Cumulative values)
Using these data, this controller can calculate the
distribution ratio of electricity consumed for air conditioning
and volumes used (kWh, m3) per indoor unit or in an area,
then show these calculations in a list.
Remote control P.122
The LAN terminal on this unit enables you connect it to a
network.
Connecting to Internet will enable you to operate the unit
and check the status using a PC from a remote location.

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.

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 congure 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.
