User interface (wireless, dedicated depending on indoor
unit type)
When the system is installed as shown in the figure above, it is
necessary to designate one of the user interfaces as the master user
interface.
The displays of slave user interfaces show
(change-over
under centralised control) and slave user interfaces automatically
follow the operation mode directed by the master user interface.
Only the master user interface can select heating or cooling mode.
17.5.2
To designate the master user interface
(VRV DX)
In case only VRV DX indoor units are connected to the VRV IV-S
system:
1
Press the operation mode selector button of the current master
user interface for 4 seconds. In case this procedure was not yet
performed, the procedure can be executed on the first user
interface operated.
Result:
The display showing
(change-over under
centralised control) of all slave user interfaces connected to the
same outdoor unit flashes.
2
Press the operation mode selector button of the controller that
you wish to designate as the master user interface.
Result:
Designation is completed. This user interface is
designated as the master user interface and the display
showing
(change-over under centralised control)
vanishes. The displays of other user interfaces show
(change-over under centralised control).
17.5.3
To designate the master user interface
(RA DX)
In case only RA DX indoor units are connected to the VRV IV-S
system
:
1
Stop all indoor units.
2
When the system is not operating (all indoor units thermo OFF),
you can define the master RA DX indoor unit by addressing that
unit with infrared user interface (instruct thermo ON in desired
mode).
The only way to change the master unit is by repeating the previous
procedure. A cool/heat switchover (or opposite) is only possible by
changing the operation mode of the defined master indoor unit.
17.5.4
About control systems
This system provides two other control systems beside individual
control system (one user interface controls one indoor unit). Confirm
the following if your unit is of the following control system type:
Type
Description
Group control system
One user interface controls up to 16
indoor units. All indoor units are equally
set.
Two user interface control
system
Two user interfaces control one indoor
unit (in case of group control system,
one group of indoor units). The unit is
individually operated.
NOTICE
Contact your dealer in case of changing the combination or
setting of group control and two user interface control
systems.

Energy saving and optimum
operation
Observe the following precautions to ensure the system operates
properly.
▪ Adjust the air outlet properly and avoid direct air flow to room
inhabitants.
▪ Adjust the room temperature properly for a comfortable
environment. Avoid excessive heating or cooling.
▪ Prevent direct sunlight from entering a room during cooling
operation by using curtains or blinds.
▪ Ventilate often. Extended use requires special attention to
ventilation.
▪ Keep doors and windows closed. If the doors and windows remain
open, air will flow out of your room causing a decrease in the
cooling or heating effect.
▪ Be careful not to cool or heat too much. To save energy, keep the
temperature setting at a moderate level.
▪ Never place objects near the air inlet or the air outlet of the unit. It
may cause deterioration in the effect or stop the operation.
▪ Turn off the main power supply switch to the unit when the unit is
not used for longer periods of time. If the switch is on, it consumes
electricity. Before restarting the unit, turn on the main power
supply switch 6 hours before operation to ensure smooth running.
(Refer to "Maintenance" in the indoor unit manual.)
▪ When the display shows
(time to clean the air filter), ask a
qualified service person to clean the filters. (Refer to
"Maintenance" in the indoor unit manual.)
