Example: Cooling
With the eco sensor, the air conditioner can detect the activity level in a room and adjust the temperature
and humidity automatically, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving.
Press the button.
The eco sensor automatically adjusts the
indoor temperature and humidity according to
the activity level in the room. However, the
temperature
and humidity specified by the
remote controller remain unchanged.
The energy saving effect can be achieved only after the energy-saving temperature control function keeps
working
for more than 2 hours.
In the energy-saving temperature-control mode, the energy consumption saved by the air conditioner varies with
the activity level.
