trol from direct and indirect sunlight.
Description of Device
The way the air conditioning system works is quite simple: warmth is removed from the room to be cooled.
The environmentally-friendly refrigerant R 407C transports this warmth just as it does for all other REMKO
air-conditioning products.
The unit’s primary function is to air-condition rooms.
It also filters and dehumidifies the air, thus creating a
comfortable climate in the room.
The unit also has a pure ventilation and dehumidification mode.
The unit operates fully-automatically and offers a range
of other options thanks to its microprocessor control.
It is operated using the supplied infrared remote control.
Transport
and Packaging
The unit is shipped in a stable transport box made of
cardboard. Please examine the unit when it is delivered.
Make a note of any damage or missing parts on the
shipping bill and notify the shipping company and your
contract partner.
We do not assume any liability for subsequent complaints.
à Never open the unit housing! This may cause an
electric shock.
à Regularly check that condensation is not blocked
from flowing out of the unit.

The following appears on the display:
Remove dead batteries immediately and replace
them with new ones that have the required quality
because otherwise there is a danger of leakage.
G
For normal operation, batteries last about a year,
the equivalent of one cooling season.
Never use new and used batteries together! We
recommend removing the batteries if the unit is
G
taken out of operation for a longer period of time.
General information
à The unit is programmed using an infrared remote
control. It can also be used to switch the unit on and
off.
à The remote control must be protected from moisture.
à When the unit is switched on, each change to the
settings is transferred to the indoor unit. A beep indicates that the data has been correctly received.
à The remote control transmitter must be pointed in
the direction of the air-conditioner for changes to the
settings.
à It is only possible for data to be properly received if
there are no objects, for example, doors, curtains,
drapes, etc. between the transmitter and receiver.
à Direct sunlight on the remote control or receiver can
affect signal transmission and thus have a negative
effect on operation.
à The user knows that the batteries are dead when the
display is not working properly or the battery status
indicates this on the display.

Optimum dehumidification mode
There are 3 operating modes available for using the
ceiling cassettes. The operating mode button can be
used to program the following functions:
– Ventilation (+ filtering)
– Heating (no function)
– Automatic (no function)
– Cooling (+ dehumidification)
– Dehumidification
The (6) button is pressed as many times as necessary
until the desired symbol appears on the display.
“Cooling” mode
In this operating mode, the room in the air is cooled and
slightly dehumidified. The following section
“Temperature selection buttons” describes how to set
the desired room temperature.
“Ventilation” mode
In this operating mode, the air in the room is not cooled.
The purpose of this function is to filter the air and/or create a comfortable circulation of air. In the winter, warmth
that accumulates below the ceiling can be circulated.
“Dehumidification” mode
In this operating mode, the air in the room is dehumidified and slightly cooled. It is not possible to set the room
temperature in this mode.
Optimum cooling mode
In “Cooling” mode, the air in the room is suctioned in by
the air-conditioning unit, filtered and then returned in a
cooled state back to the room. The warmth removed
from the room is guided to the outdoor part and expelled
to the surrounding air.
To keep the periods of operation of the outdoor part as
short as possible, the temperature setting of the room to
be cooled should only be kept as low as necessary.
Very low room temperatures mean longer periods of operation and increase the amount of electricity used.
Temperature differences of 6 degrees or more below
the surrounding temperature of the room can give people colds.
In “Dehumidification” mode, the air in the room is suctioned in by the air-conditioning unit at periodic intervals,
filtered and returned to the room in a slightly cooled
state.
In this operating mode, the air is more dehumidified
than in normal cooling mode. The warmth removed
from the room is guided to the outdoor part and expelled to the surrounding air.
The ventilation capacity cannot be changed in this operating mode (constant preset fan speed).
Additional instructions for all operating modes
à The indoor unit works most effectively with a clean
filter. The filter should be checked and, if necessary,
cleaned, 2 times a month.
à The outdoor part must be checked for dirt and, if ap-
plicable, plants. Here as well, a decrease in the
quantity of air causes the cooling capacity to be lowered and hence to an increase in electricity consumption.
Temperature selection buttons (8) (9)
The desired room temperature is set using the (8)
and (9) buttons.
The indoor unit confirms that the signal has been received by beeping. The new temperature is displayed
on the remote control.
A temperature between 17 °C and 32 °C can be set in
1 °C increments.
If the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, the unit does not start.
If the room temperature is higher than the set temperature, a safety period of approximately 3 min. elapses before the unit starts. Only then does it begin.
If the unit has cooled the air in the room to the set value,
cooling mode switches off. The condensation pump
switches off after running for approx. 7 minutes.
Fan speed selection button (10)
By pressing the button (10), the fan speed and the air
quantity of the fan dependent on it can be selected. The
currently selected speed is shown on the display.
Optimum ventilation mode
The pure ventilation mode circulates the “standing” air in
the room.
It is often not necessary to lower the temperature. If this
is the case, the effect is similar to a ceiling fan. On cool
days, warmth that accumulates on the ceiling can be
transported downwards in this operating mode.
In ventilation mode, the air in the room is also filtered,
as already mentioned.
8
The following fan speeds are available:
Low (especially quiet)
Medium
High (greatest cooling effect)
Automatic mode (the fan speed
is adjusted to the respective
need for cold air)
Air distribution button (13)
The ceiling cassette has 4 air outlet openings to distribute the cooled air in the room.
Air outlet plate fins
In cooling mode, the plate fins should be in a “half open”
position (see figure below) or the oscillating mode
should be selected.
Stream of air to the ceiling
Air outlet plate fins
The air distribution can be changed by pressing the button (13) .
The line on the display indicates the position of the plate
fins.
If the distribution is to be set to oscillating, the corresponding symbol must be visible on the display after
pressing the button (13) several times.
Symbols on the display
The positions and settings of the air outlet plate fins are
represented by the following symbols.
The air outlet plate fins are automatically
set depending on the operating mode.
There are six different positions that the air
outlet plate fins can be set to.
The air outlet plate fins are set for oscillating air distribution.
Position of the air outlet plate fins
The plate fins can be positioned in accordance with the
following illustrations.
The illustration below shows the plate fins when they
are closed.
Closed plate fins
When the plate fins are completely open, the stream of
air is blown in a downwards direction.
Stream of air going downwards
This setting is unfavourable for cooling mode because it
creates drafts. In winter, this plate fin position can be
used to regain warm air on the ceiling of the room.

Maintenance and Service
Regular care and the observation of a number of basic
rules will ensure the unit’s long service life and reliable
operation.
Before any work on the units is performed, they
must be disconnected from the power supply and
G
prevented from being inadvertently switched on
à Keep the unit free of dirt, plants and other deposits.
à Only clean the unit with a damp cloth.
à Do not use an abrasive cleaning agent or one that
contains solvent.
à If the unit is extremely dirty, only use suitable clean-
ing materials.
à Clean the air filters of the indoor unit at regular inter-
vals, more often if necessary, in line with the operating instructions.
à Before and after the operating season, check
whether the diameter of the condensation lines has
become smaller as a result of dirt.
If so, they must be cleaned.
à We recommend concluding a maintenance agree-
ment with an authorised service centre.
This is the best way to guarantee that the unit is operated safely!
Note:
Never operate the unit without the original filters. Otherwise the heat-exchanger fins would become dirty and
the performance of the unit would suffer. Dirty fins are
difficult to clean.

Important information about recycling!
Only authorised personnel may come into contact with
the cold cycle. This ensures that refrigerant does not escape into the environment when the unit is being repaired.
Both the refrigerant and the system parts are subject to
special requirements for disposal.
The refrigerant in use is a safety refrigerant. This means
that, should damage occur, the quantities released will
not cause injury to the respiratory systems of people
and animals.
Do not touch the liquid refrigerant as it can freeze the
skin!

Assembly Instructions for
Service Personnel
Important instructions prior to installation
Prior to actual assembly, the following items have to be
checked and complied with:
à Ensure that the contents of the package are com-
plete and that the units have no visible damage resulting from transport.
Any problems must be communicated directly to
your contract partner and the shipping company.
à Place the unit in its original packaging as close as
possible to the location where it will be assembled to
prevent damage from transport.
à Select a location to set up the unit where air can flow
freely in and out of the device, where the unit is not
in direct sunlight and is not close to other sources of
heat.
à Air should be distributed optimally throughout all ar-
eas of the room to be cooled and no drafts should be
created.
à Prior to installation, check that the electrical connec-
tion values and the data on the type plate are consistent.
à Make sure that all electrical connections meet the
DIN-VDE requirements.
à Lift the cassette on the corners and not with the re-
frigerant or condensation connections.
à The air intake and outlet openings may not be
blocked by furniture, curtains, etc.
à Prevent unnecessary bends in the refrigeration lines
to minimise the pressure loss and ensure that the
compressor oil can recirculate properly.
à If the outdoor part is mounted above the indoor unit,
take steps to recirculate the oil.
à If this line is connected to the drainage line, an odour
seal must be installed the upper edge of which may
not extend beyond the lower edge of the indoor unit.
à The refrigerant lines may not be bent or pressed.
à Protect open refrigerant lines from moisture with
suitable caps or adhesive.
à Make sure that all refrigerant lines including all con-
nectors and valves are adequately insulated against
heat.
à Mount the outdoor part in such a way that the differ-
ence height to the indoor unit is not more than 10 m.
à Make sure that the maximum length of 15 m for the
basic length of the refrigerant line is not exceeded.
à Use a balance to position the unit precisely which will
prevent condensation from leaking out.
à Equip the ventilation lines for adjacent room cooling
and/or the fresh air connection including the connector piece with diffusion-sealed heat insulation.
à Make sure that the electrical connections have been
properly attached to the terminals.
à Prior to unit assembly, the connection adaptors for
the adjacent room connection and the fresh air connection must be attached.
à Carefully plan where the condensation line will be
laid.
à Make sure that, if laid horizontally, there is an ade-
quate incline.
At least 2 %.
à The integrated pump can bridge a maximum height
difference of 250 mm on top of the unit.
But only if the condensation line flows immediately in
a vertical direction after leaving the unit and then
continues at an incline.
à Remove the protective caps of the unit connections
just before connecting the refrigerant lines.
à The power supply is only connected to the outdoor
part. The control lines to the indoor unit should be
placed together with the refrigerant lines.
Common installation mistakes
When performing the installation, make sure to observe
the following to ensure smooth operation:
à Do not install the unit in the direct vicinity of objects
that emit intense heat (e.g. lights). Install it in the
middle of the room instead.
Wall lead-throughs
Wall lead-throughs are necessary to establish the connection between the indoor unit and the outdoor part.
Please observe the following:
à For the connection line to the outdoor part, a lead-
through of at least 70 mm in diameter must be created.
à The lead-through must be placed at an incline of at
least 2% from the inside to the outside.
à Make sure that there are no supply lines located in
the vicinity of the wall lead-through.
Refrigerant
intake line
Control line
Refrigerant
injection line
à We recommend cushioning the inside of the hole or
lining it to prevent the lines from being damaged.
Suitable materials are, for example, PVC pipes with
an inner diameter of 70 mm.
à After assembly is complete, the wall lead-through
must be sealed with a suitable sealing compound.
Do not use any materials containing cement or lime!

Installation
The indoor unit is attached by means of four threaded
rods to be provided by the customer. The supplied cardboard stencil makes it easier to position the holes to drill.
Assembly material
To complete installation from start to finish, the following
materials are required: suitable dowels, trapezoidal sheet
suspension / sectional steel, clamps for refrigerant and
condensation lines (or piping ducts), connection pieces
for the condensation line (sanitary).
Unit installation
The unit is installed on the four threaded rods with the
grating down taking into account the ceiling design and
any possible fixtures.
Determine where you will attach the threaded rods for
the unit suspension mount by holding the cardboard
stencil under the ceiling depending on the position of the
ceiling design and mark the attachment points.
Only attach the threaded rods to statically permissible
building parts above the intermediate ceiling.
If two-room and fresh air connections are to be integrated, mount the appropriate connection pieces prior to
installation.
Static building part
Assembling the connection line
1. Position the cassette in such a way that all sides are
freely accessible.
To ensure the best air distribution in the room, the
indoor unit should be installed in the middle of the
room.
2. The required line cross-sections are provided in the
"Technical Data” table.
3. When assembling the unit, observe the bending radii
of the refrigerant lines and never bend the hose in
the same place twice.
This may cause the line to become brittle or crack.
4. Use only the tools below for assembly.
5. Remove the preinstalled swivel nuts of the units.
6. Only use the swivel nuts supplied for further as-
sembly or use the supplied accessories of the
indoor units if necessary
.
7. Before you flare the refrigerant lines, ensure that
there is a swivel nut on the hose.
8. Work with the refrigerant lines as shown in the figure below:
75 mm
To ensure that the condensation drains into the collection tray, insert the indoor units into the threaded rods
and bring the units into a horizontal position with the
lower screws.
Maintain a distance of 75 mm between the bottom of
the suspension mount and the bottom of the intermediate ceiling (see figure above).
Connect the refrigerant, control and condensation lines
to the indoor unit as described below and check again
hat the unit is positioned horizontally.
Finally, tighten the counter screws and assemble the
grating.

13. Insulate the installed refrigerant lines including the
connector against heat.
Only use insulation hoses sealed against diffusion
that are suitable for this temperature range.
14. Connect the condensation and control lines.
If you also need a condensation pump, install it beforehand.
15. If it is not possible to run the condensation line
through the same guideway, make sure that the
condensation can drain freely at all times.
16. Lay the refrigerant lines from the indoor unit to the
outdoor part.
Make sure that they are adequately secured. Take
steps, if necessary, to ensure oil recirculation!
17. Place the control line in the same line guideway.
18. Remove the protective caps supplied and the swivel
nut caps of the shut-off valves and use these for
continued assembly.
19. Before you flare the refrigerant lines, ensure that
there is a swivel nut on the hose.
Only use the factory-installed swivel nuts.
20. Connect the refrigerant lines to the outdoor part as
described above.
If the length of the connection line is longer than 5
m, refrigerant must be added to the system during
initial operation.
G
See the section Adding Refrigerant.
Impermeability test
Once all connections have been made, the manometer
station is connected to the corresponding valve connections as described below:
blue = large valve = suction pressure,
After the connection has been made, an impermeability
test is conducted using dry nitrogen.
The connections that have been established are
sprayed with a leak locator spray to test for impermeability. If bubbles appear, the connection was not made
properly. Tighten the bolts more firmly or, if necessary,
create a new flare.
After the impermeability test has been successfully conducted, any excess pressure is removed from the refrigerant lines and the vacuum pump put into operation to
create a vacuum in the lines.
We recommend using a two-speed vacuum pump with
an absolute final partial pressure of at least 0.01 mbar
at a pump capacity of a min. of 1.5 m³/h.
A vacuum with a minimum of 0.05 mbar must be
G
created!
How long it takes to create the vacuum is based on the
hose line volume of the indoor unit and the length of the
refrigerant lines. However, this process takes a minimum of 30 minutes.
Once foreign gases and moisture have been completely
removed from the system, the manometer station
valves are closed and the valves of the outdoor part are
opened.
Oil recirculation
If the outdoor part is set up at a higher level than the indoor unit, appropriate steps must be taken for oil recirculation.
This is usually accomplished by creating an oil elevation
arc that is installed every 2.5 meters of line going up.

2. Place the open cylinder/container on a scale and
calibrate the scale to zero.
3. Create a vacuum in the hose at the height of the manometer distribution pipe.
4. Determine the required amount based on the information in the table above and open the suction pressure side of the manometer to begin the filling process.
5. Close the manometer valve when the appropriate
amount has been added.
18
Condensation Connection
Condensation forms on the evaporator during cooling
operation because temperatures below the dew point
are reached. The collection tray of the indoor unit is
equipped with a condensation hose. The transport
height of the condensation pump is a max. of 250 mm
above the upper edge of the unit.
The condensation pump switches on after a brief delay
following the start of the unit. During cooling mode, it is
in continuous operation. After the unit is switched off,
the pump continues to run for approx. 7 minutes.
To ensure that the condensation can flow freely, the
condensation hose must be laid at an incline of at least
2 % to a drain or to the outside.
à Hose extensions can be purchased as accessories.
à If the condensation is being guided to a drainage
line, please install a siphon-like hose guideway which
acts as an odour seal.
à To keep water from dripping, the condensation line
should be equipped with heat insulation.
à If the unit is being operated at outside temperatures
below 0°C, the lines must be placed in such a way
that they are protected from frost.
à If the drains or the collection trays are more than 250
mm from the mounted cassette, a second condensation pump purchased as an accessory should be
used.
à After the hose has been laid, check to make sure
that condensation can drain freely.

Two-Room and Fresh Air
Installing the two-room connection
Connection
The indoor unit is designed to cool a second room and,
independently of this, to suction in fresh air.
On each side of the unit, there is a pre-punched opening of Ø 150 mm across from one another for connection to a second room and a pre-punched opening on
the corner of the unit for the fresh air connection.
The corresponding openings must be broken through
when necessary. Prior to doing this, the circular insulation must be carefully removed. Remember that directly
behind the insulation to be removed are the plate fins of
the heat-exchanger and that these may by no means be
damaged.
Two-room connection
With the ceiling cassette, you can cool an adjacent
room via a duct system, e.g. in a suspended ceiling.
The following conditions must be met:
à The cooling capacity of the cassette must be ade-
quate for cooling both rooms.
à There must be an opening created between the two
rooms that allows the air to circulate between them.
à A maximum pipe length of 7 m may not be exceeded.

Fresh air connection
As already described, it is possible to suction in fresh air
(outside air) with the indoor unit in addition to the room
air and regulate the temperature. This option is preferable in rooms where air is consumed quickly.
à Only one two-room connection may be used.
à To settle the second-room connection, a flanged col-
lar with a minimum diameter of NW 150 mm/156
mm must be attached to the opening with metal
screws (Ø 3 - 4.5 mm, max. 10 mm). A flanged collar NW 100 is mounted for the fresh air connection.
à To ensure that air is transported to the adjacent
room, 1 or 2 of the 4 plate fins are to be sealed on
the indoor unit. To do this, use a black strip with adhesive on one side which is stuck to the opening(s)
to be sealed. The strip must be able to withstand the
strain from the air pressure permanently.
à The flanged collar, screws, flexible / folded spiral-
seam pipes and insulation materials must be provided by the customer. These parts can all be purchased from your dealer.
à The ventilation pipes should be kept as short as
possible and should be laid with as few bends as
possible.
à There may not be more than 10 % fresh air, other-
wise the unit may not work properly.
à An air filter must be installed on the fresh air intake
(customer-installed) or in the air duct.
à To prevent rainwater from entering the unit, the air
may only be suctioned in by the fresh air intake at a
maximum speed of 2.5 m/s.
à Fresh air can be supplied using an extra fan.
à To ensure that the first air current is correctly ad-
justed, we recommend using a speed regulator.
à To connect the fan, it is necessary for the customer
to install a separately fused electrical installation.
à Mount the fresh air pipe in such a way that the corre-
sponding opening can be broken and the polystrol
separating wall underneath it can be cut out.
à The polystrol plate surrounding the collection tray
shown in the photo must be removed with a knife.

Prior to Initial Operation
After the pressure check has been performed, the vacuum pump must be connected to the valve connections
of the outdoor part by means of the manometer station
and a vacuum created.
Prior to initial operation of the unit and after contact with
the cold cycle, the following checks must be performed
and documented in the initial operation log:
à Check all refrigerant lines and shut-off valves for leaks
with a leak locator spray or soapy water when the unit
is off.
à Check that the connection lines did not get switched
by mistake.
Especially for the RKM series 600 and 700.
à Check the refrigerant lines and the insulation for
damage.
à Check that the electrical connection between the in-
door unit and the outdoor part is correct.
à Check all fixtures and suspended parts to ensure that
they are in the proper position and at the correct
height.
à If the refrigerant line is longer than 5 m, more refriger-
ant should be added to the system.
3. Connect the unit to the power supply and switch the
power on.
4. Press down the buttons (9) and (13) of the remote control for five seconds
The display is deleted. The letters “Src“ for a service
test appear on the time display.
5. After the test is complete, press the button (7) to
exit test mode.
6. Remember: if no button is pressed for 30 minutes,
the configuration menu is automatically exit and the
process must be reinitiated.
à In the “Test” operating mode, “Room temperature
regulation“ and “Cooling mechanism start protection“
are not activated.
The green, red and yellow lights on the receiver of
the indoor unit blink to indicate operation.
Initial Operation
The unit may only be put into operation by the manufacturer or an authorised representative. Initial operation
must be performed using the certification of initial operation (page 18) and documented.
During the test run, check all regulating, control and
safety mechanisms to ensure that they are functioning
and set properly.
1. Switch the customer-installed main switch or fuse on.
2. Adjust the target temperature on the indoor unit to a
lower value than the existing room temperature using the remote control.
3. Press the button 6 to activate cooling mode.
4. The compressor starts a couple of minutes later due
to the delayed start.
5. Check the indoor unit’s control mechanisms using
