④Operation lamp
① Run/Stop switch
② F1 switch③F2 switch
Touch panel system, which is operated by tapping the LCD screen with a finger, is employed
for any operations other than the ①Run/Stop, ②F1 and ③F2 switches.
One push on the button starts operation and
another push stops operation.
This switch starts operation that is set in F1/F2
function change.
This lamp lights in green(yellow-green) during
operation. It changes to red(orange) if any
error occurs.
Operation lamp luminance can be changed.
⑤LCD (with backlight)
A tap on the LCD lights the backlight.
The backlight turns off automatically if there
is no operation for certain period of time.
Lighting period of the backlight lighting can be
changed.
If the backlight is ON setting, when the screen is

and ③are excluded.)
⑥USB port
USB connector (mini-B) allows connecting to a
personal computer.
For operating methods, refer to the instruction
manual attached to the software for personal
computer (remote control utility software).
Note(1) When connecting to a personal computer, do not connect
simultaneously with other USB devices.
Please be sure to connect to the computer directly,without

Indoor ambient temperatures and humidity are controlled simultaneously with the relative humidity sensor (HS) and the
suction temperature sensor [Thi-A (or the remote control sensor when it is activated)], which are installed at the suction inlet.
When the operation has been started with cooling, if there is a difference of 2 °C or less between the suction and setting
temperatures, the tap of indoor fan is lowered by one tap. This tap is retained for 3 minutes after changing the tap.
After the above condition, when a difference between suction and setting temperature is lower than 3°C, and the
relative humidity is high, the tap of indoor unit fan is lowered by one tap.
When the difference between suction and setting temperature is larger than 3°C, the fan of indoor unit fan is raised by
one tap. This tap is retained for 3 minutes after changing the tap.
When relative humidity becomes lower, the indoor unit fan tap is retained.
In case of the thermostat OFF, the indoor unit fan tap at the thermostat ON is retained.

(17) Plural unit control – Control of 16 units group by one remote control
(a) Function
One remote control can control a group of multiple number of unit (Max. 16 indoor units). “Operation mode” which
is set by the remote control can operate or stop all units in the group one after another in the order of unit. No.(1).
Thermostat and protective function of each unit function independently.
Note (1) Unit No. is set by SW2 on the indoor unit control PCB. Unit No. setting by SW2 is necessary for the indoor unit only.
(2) Unit No. may be set at random unless duplicated, it should be better to set orderly like 0, 1, 2…, F to avoid mistake.
(b) Display to the remote control
(i) Central or each remote control basis, heating preparation
The smallest unit No. among the operating units in the remote mode (or the center mode unless the remote mode is
available) is displayed.
(ii) Inspection display, lter sign
Any of unit that starts initially is displayed.
(c) Confirmation of connected units
(i) In case of RC-EX3A remote control
If you touch the buttons in the order of “Menu” → “Service setting” → “Service & Maintenance” → “Service
password” → “IU address” on the TOP screen of remote control, the indoor units which are connected are displayed.
(ii) In case of RC-E5 remote control
Pressing “AIR CON No.” button on the remote control displays the indoor unit address. If “▲” “▼” button is
pressed at the next, it is displayed orderly starting from the unit of smallest No.
(d) In case of anomaly
If any anomaly occurs on a unit in a group (a protective function operates), that unit stops with the anomalous stop
but any other normal units continue to run as they are.
(e) Signal wiring procedure
Signal wiring between indoor and outdoor units should be made on each unit same as the normal wiring. For the
group control, connect the remote control wiring to each indoor unit via terminal block for the remote control.
Connect the remote control wiring separately from the power source cable or wires of other electric devices (AC220V or higher).
(18) High ceiling control
When sucient air ow rate cannot be obtained from the indoor unit which is installed at a room with high ceiling, the air
ow rate can be increased by changing the fan tap. To change the fan tap, use the indoor unit function “FAN SPEED SET”
on the wired remote control.

Notes (1) Factory default is STANDARD.
(2) At the hot-start and heating thermostat OFF, or other, the indoor fan is operated at the low speed tap of each setting.
(3) This function is not able to be set with wireless remote control or simple remote control (RCH-E3).
