●●Refer to the remote controller installation instructions for details on how to make the main-sub settings for the remote controller.
●●Total length of remote controller wiring: Within 500 m (Remote controller wiring between indoor units is within 200 m)
●●Number of units that can be connected for group control
• |
Indoor units |
: Up to 8 units |
• |
WLAN Adaptor |
: 1 unit |
• |
Wired remote controller : 1 unit |
●●The system operates irrespective of the indoor unit you choose to connect the WLAN Adaptor and remote controller to.
