1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
The new FLO DCI split wall mounted range has expanded, comprising two additional
RC (heat pump) models:
● FLO 9 DCI
● FLO 12 DCI
The indoor FLO units are available as LED or LCD display types featuring esthetic
design, compact dimensions, and low noise operation.
1.2 Main Features
The FLO DCI INV series benefits from the most advanced technological innovations,
namely:
● DC inverter technology.
● R410A.
● High COP.
● Lego concept.
● Pre-Charged units up to the max’ allowing tubing distance.
● Networking system connectivity.
● A dry contact for clock or power shedding functions (configurable).
● Base heater connection.
● Cooling operation at outdoor temperature down to -10°C.
● Heating operation at outdoor temperature down to -15°C.
● Supports Indoor Air Quality features, such as – Ionizer, Active Electrostatic
Filter.
● Indoor large diameter cross flow fan, allowing low noise level operation.
● Bended indoor coil with treated aluminum fins and coating for improved
efficiency.
● Easy access to the interconnecting tubing and wiring connections, so that
removing the front grill or casing is not necessary.
● Refrigerant pipes can be connected to the indoor unit from 5 different optional
directions.
● Water condensate tray is equipped with two optional drain connections.
● Automatic treated air sweep.
● Low indoor and outdoor noise levels.
● Easy installation and service.
