What AirPatrol WiFi does?
3
AirPatrol WiFi is a heat pump and air conditioner (AC) controller you operate with a mobile phone
or tablet. It is compatible with all major manufacturers’ ACs and smartphones.
(see www.airpatrol.eu for the complete list)
The easiest way to use AirPatrol WiFi is with a Smartphone, using the AirPatrol app downloadable
from Google Play (for Android phones ) or App Store (for iPhone). AirPatrol WiFi allows you to
have long distance control over the mode of the pump, room temperature, fan speed and mode
settings. AirPatrol WiFi can also inform you about high or low room temperature and humidity, air
conditioner / heat pump service intervals, connection failures.

Installing AirPatrol WiFi
6
AirPatrol WiFi should be mounted near AC’s or heat pump’s indoor unit, with its IR transmitter pointing to
the unit. This way the IR beam reaches the AC’s sensor most efficiently.
All mounting configurations are possible as long as IR transmission from the controller to the pump works.
NB! Thick carpets and dark floors can distort the IR beam. Make sure the IR beam reaches the pump’s
sensor by using the controller’s Test function.
To see if AirPatrol WiFi can send commands to your AC or heat pump, turn off the pump and press the
controller’s TEST button. When the connection is established, AirPatrol WiFi turns the pump on with its last
settings and you can proceed using the controller.
