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.)
▪ Keep the indoor unit and user interface at least 1 m away from
televisions, radios, stereos, and other similar equipment. Failing to
do so may cause static or distorted pictures.
▪ Do not place items under the indoor unit, they may be damaged
by water.
▪ Condensation may form if the humidity is above 80% or if the
drain outlet gets blocked.
This heat pump system is equipped with advanced energy saving
functionality. Depending on the priority, emphasises can be put on
energy saving or comfort level. Several parameters can be selected,
resulting in the optimal balance between energy consumption and
comfort for the particular application.
Several patterns are available and roughly explained below. Contact
your installer or dealer for advice or to modify the parameters to the
needs of your building.
Detailed information is given for the installer in the installation
manual. He can help you to realize the best balance between energy
consumption and comfort.
18.1
Available main operation methods
Basic
The refrigerant temperature is fixed independent from the situation. It
corresponds to the standard operation which is known and can be
expected from/under previous VRV systems.
Automatic
The refrigerant temperature is set depending on the outdoor ambient
conditions. As such adjusting the refrigerant temperature to match
the required load (which is also related to the outdoor ambient
conditions).
E.g., when your system is operating in cooling, you do not need as
much cooling under low outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., 25°C)
as under high outdoor ambient temperatures (e.g., 35°C). Using this
idea, the system automatically starts increasing its refrigerant
temperature, automatically reducing the delivered capacity and
increasing the system's efficiency.
Hi-sensible/economic (cooling/heating)
The refrigerant temperature is set higher/lower (cooling/heating)
compared to basic operation. The focus under high sensible mode is
comfort feeling for the customer.
The selection method of indoor units is important and has to be
considered as the available capacity is not the same as under basic
operation.
For details concerning to Hi-sensible applications, please contact
your installer.
18.2
Available comfort settings
For each of above modes a comfort level can be selected. The
comfort level is related to the timing and the effort (energy
consumption) which is put in achieving a certain room temperature
by temporarily changing the refrigerant temperature to different
values in order to achieve requested conditions more quickly.
▪ Powerful
▪ Quick
▪ Mild
▪ Eco

Maintenance and service
NOTICE
Never inspect or service the unit by yourself. Ask a
qualified service person to perform this work.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with a fuse of a wrong ampere ratings
or other wires when a fuse blows out. Use of wire or
copper wire may cause the unit to break down or cause a
fire.
CAUTION
Do not insert fingers, rods or other objects into the air inlet
or outlet. Do not remove the fan guard. When the fan is
rotating at high speed, it will cause injury.
CAUTION
Pay attention to the fan.
It is dangerous to inspect the unit while the fan is running.
Be sure to turn off the main switch before executing any
maintenance task.
CAUTION
After a long use, check the unit stand and fitting for
damage. If damaged, the unit may fall and result in injury.
NOTICE
Do not wipe the controller operation panel with benzine,
thinner, chemical dust cloth, etc. The panel may get
discoloured or the coating peeled off. If it is heavily dirty,
soak a cloth in water-diluted neutral detergent, squeeze it
well and wipe the panel clean. Wipe it with another dry
cloth.
