8-4. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION

When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed 

are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” automatically starts operation in 

the same mode just before the shutoff of the main power.

Operation

 

If the main power has been cut, the operation settings remain.

 

After the power is restored, the unit restarts automatically according to the memory. 

  (However, it takes at least 3 minutes

 

for the compressor to start running.)

How to disable “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”

 

Turn off the main power for the unit.

 

Solder the jumper wire to JR07 on the indoor electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 10-7.)

NOTE:

• 

The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds has passed after the indoor unit was operated with the remote 

controller.

• 

If main power is turned OFF or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer is active, the timer setting is can-

celled.

• 

If the unit has been off with the remote controller before power failure, the auto restart function does not work as the 

power button of the remote controller is OFF.

• 

To prevent breaker OFF due to the rush of starting current, systematize other home appliance not to turn ON at the same 

time.

• 

When some air conditioners are connected to the same supply system, if they are operated before power failure, the 

starting current of all the compressors may flow simultaneously at restart.

  Therefore, the special counter-measures are required to prevent the main voltage-drop or the rush of the starting current 

by adding to the system that allows the units to start one by one.

8-3. HOW TO SET REMOTE CONTROLLER EXCLUSIVELY FOR A PARTICULAR INDOOR UNIT 

 

(MSZ-SF15/20VA-

E4

ER4

)

A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room.

To operate the indoor units individually with each remote controller, assign a number to each remote controller according 

to the number of the indoor unit.

 

This setting can be set only when all the following conditions are met:

 

• The remote controller is powered OFF.

 

• Weekly timer is not set.

 

• Weekly timer is not being edited.

 

(1) Hold down 

 button on the remote controller for 2 seconds to enter the pairing mode.

 

(2) Press 

 button again and assign a number to each remote controller. 

 

  Each press of 

 button advances the number in the following order: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4.

 

(3) Press 

 button to complete the pairing setting.
