Note that when the heating function is not available, the system will
automatically skip the HEAT and AUTO modes.
FAN MODE Button
– Selects between automatic (
) or
operation. In the AUTO mode, the fan only turns on and off when the
compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.
NOTE:
AUTO is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display
indicates
. In the
mode, fan speed is
determined by your selection on the
button.
FAN SPEED Button
– Used to sequentially select new fan speed, plus
AUTO operation. When the
FA N
SPEED
button is pressed, the fan speed is
temporarily displayed in the display window, plus a fan speed icon (triangle)
changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies
depending on the set temperature on the control panel and the actual
room temperature. Let me explain. Say for example you’re working in
your garage and you need to open the big door for several minutes. Since
there is a big difference between your set temperature and the actual room
temperature the system fan speed increases to MAX. It remains at this
speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.
SCHEDULE Button
– The
SCHEDULE
button turns the schedule function on and
off. Pressing the
SCHEDULE
button a second time turns the schedule function
off. Only the schedule icon will be displayed.
UP and DOWN Arrows
– Pressing either the
(UP) or
(DOWN)
button changes the desired room temperature. The factory preset lower
and upper limits are 60° F (16° C) and 99° F (37° C). These buttons are
also used to navigate between function options when using the User Menu
or Maintenance Mode.
Remote Effectiveness
Hand Held Remote
– Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared
remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to
the air conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to "bounce"
off of walls and furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram
below shows the typical operating range of the control in a standard room
with 8 ft high ceilings.
