retailers or www.friedrich.com. See FriedrichLink™ Adapter section on
www.friedrich.com for complete details.
Kühl Control Options
Pre-Programmed Scheduling Options:
Your unit’s digital control comes equipped with a 24-hour timer and two pre-
programmed 7-day energy management options.
24-Hour Timer
The 24-hour timer allows you to turn the unit off and on at pre-set times by
setting an on and off time on the unit control panel. (See page 12 for details on
timer set-up.)
Pre-programmed Energy Management
Your unit comes from the factory with two (2) Pre-programmed Energy
Management settings are shown in Addendum 1 (Residential & Commercial
Schedule Table).
Energy Management Schedule Options are:
1. Residential Schedule – 40 Hr. Work Week
2. Commercial Schedule – 5-Day Business Week
The “Residential” (40 Hr. Work Week) Schedule has four (4) time periods: 06:00,
08:00, 18:00, and 22:00. This option will cause your Kühl Q unit to raise the room
temperature temporarily to 85°F during the hours when most people are away
at work, lower them again to 78°F prior to the time when most people will return
home, and then raise slightly to 82°F to maintain a comfortable temperature
overnight.
The “Commercial” (5-Day Business Week) Schedule has two (2) time periods:
07:00 and 18:00. This option will cause your air conditioner to raise temperatures
to 84°F after typical working hours and on weekends when commercial spaces
are typically unoccupied.
(See Control Panel Operation Instructions Section)
Customizable Programming Options:
Customizable schedules, with up to four temperature adjustments per day, can
either be uploaded to the unit via the air conditioner’s built-in micro USB interface
or conveniently transmitted wirelessly using the new FriedrichLink™ Adapter
accessory, greatly simplifying the programming of one or multiple units.
See Figure 9.
See www.friedrich.com for complete Customizable
Programming instructions.
