software).
It gathers data for each distribution group and tenant name, and calculates distribution ratios.

Data can be output as CSV files, which are readable by Microsoft Excel. Automatic output timing
can be coordinated with the monthly cut-off day, but output is possible at any time.

4-2. Operation time with thermostat on

[Procedure]
On the menu bar, select “Distribution ratio” - “T/S ON operation time”.

Thermostat data held by the adapter or indoor unit, or thermostat on/off times for the air
conditioner are indicated. The time for each fan speed with the thermostat on is balanced in
units of xx minutes, and the cumulative total of those balance values can be tabulated, as can
the products of the values set for thermostat on time conversion coefficients of various settings
multiplied by the fan speed conversion values.

• Adapter values
The thermostat on/off data held by each indoor unit communication adapter can be
checked.

* Use Distribution ratio – Maintenance – Indoor unit settings on the menu bar to

assemble tenant groups and sort their display order.

* The fan speed conversion coefficients for weighting factor balance totals are set

using Distribution ratio - Maintenance - Distribution ratio settings screen on the
menu bar.

• Weighting factor balance :The total of balances calculated from the conversion
coefficients for each fan speed and the capacities of indoor units,

only for thermostat On (high, medium, low fan speed) time.
Weighting factor = (fan speed x fan speed conversion value) x indoor unit

capacity

* The Adapter value display uses the same time (hhmm) as the adapter, but the

Balance total and Weighting factor balance total displays use the time with
minutes converted to the equivalent number of hours.
For example 3:30 becomes 3.50. (The same is true for Excel output, so this
method is used to facilitate time calculations when the data is loaded into Excel).

preceding month.

: The term is set to the period from the day after the preceding cut-off
date to the present.
Specify the display term and click on the button to begin data collation.

No other operations can be performed
during data collation.

Once data collation is complete, the balance total or the weighting factor balance
total for the term is displayed.
