AREA lamp indicates AREA setting

In AREA setting, the horizontal air

ow direction changes automatically

according to the detection of i-see

Sensor which detects the

oor/wall

temperature to air-condition the room

evenly.

i-see control operation

i-see Sensor constantly measure

oor/wall temperature to automatically

adjust to the set temperature by

estimating the temperature actually

perceived by a person inside the room

(“sensible temperature”).
