 Limitations on changing settings Some types of air conditioners are limited in the settings which they support. For example,

cooling-only air conditioners cannot be set to heating. Floor-type models typically support only high fan speeds. Ceiling mounted models do not have ﬂaps, and therefore cannot change

the fan direction. You should be aware of the limitations of the air conditioner models in your system. For more information, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Personal Computers Use a personal computer exclusively for the P-AIMS System. Sharing the PC with any other system could cause problems.

 Data backup The PC used with the P-AIMS System could break down, so you are advised to back up data to

an external hard drive or other storage.

For more information, contact your dealer or service provider. Caution: If the drive name of the external hard disk or other backup location changes, backups

cannot be done.

 Power outages We recommend use of a UPS device (uninterruptible power supply) to protect the P-AIMS in

the event of a power outage.

For more information, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Please note that we will not provide compensation in the following circumstances: Any fault caused by a third party becoming aware of a password. Any fault caused by sharing a PC between P-AIMS and another application.

Page 94

 Only alarm codes are displayed in the notiﬁcation bar and alarm log display. The content of an alarm can vary for different models, even if the alarm code is the same.

Consult the documentation of the various models to determine the content of the alarm.

 After the settings of an indoor unit are changed from the P-AIMS System, the display may

revert temporarily to the former settings. This is more likely to occur with all-unit operations.

The cause is communications delay, not any malfunction in the system. If you wait a few

minutes, the display will show the correct information.

 Errors occurred while operating during a thunder storm or because of electromagnetic interference.

 Power the P-AIMS System off and then on again. As a rule, the system should be powered off only in cases such as the above. Correct management of air conditioning is not possible when the system is powered off.

 Setting the current date and time The current date and time should be set on a regular basis, since the PC clock can gain or lose

up to about two minutes per month.

 Passwords Passwords should be recorded and saved in a safe place. They should never be disclosed to

third parties. If you forget your password, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Interface adaptors (sold separately)

 Alarm display Alarm details are not shown. The display is “C12”. (meaning local adapter all-unit alarm)

Interface adaptors (CZ-CAPC2) You can use Interface adaptors to connect equipment that can be turned on and off (fans, room air conditioners and so on) to the system. However, note that the following limitations apply. For details, refer to the documentation of the equipment or contact your dealer or service provider.

 Central control is supported for the following operations only.

·On/Off

·Remote control prohibition (start/stop only)

Timer settings are supported, but settings other than “start/stop” and “remote control

prohibition” are ignored.

Remote control prohibition is possible only when prohibition signal output from the

local adaptor has been connected to the equipment.

Even in this case, the only operations that can be prohibited are start and stop.

 Alarm display

Alarm details are not shown.

The display is “C12”. (meaning Interface adaptor all-unit alarm)

However, this is possible only when the alarm signal input has been connected to a

local adaptor.

 As long as it conforms to the contact speciﬁcations of the Interface adaptors, any

type of equipment can be connected to the system. However, you should avoid

connecting equipment whose operation can have grave consequences for life or

property.
