FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
●Utilizing one of the PC board adaptors (optional accessories) will enable you to combine this unit with the split
A/C units and unitary A/C.
However, be sure to refer to the installation manual attached to each PC board adaptor for function limitations.
■Operation menu
This central remote controller enables the individual operation/stop
by zone, and unified operation/stop. ON/OFF operation controlled by
timer is possible in conjunction with the schedule timer (optional
accessory).
■Various operation modes.
You can operate the system from both this unit and the remote
controller, so to enable various operation control patterns. Twenty
different operation modes are available including five operation
patterns: ON/OFF control impossible by remote controller, only OFF
control possible by remote controller, centralized, individual and
centralized (ON/OFF control possible by remote controller only with
the timer ON); and temperature setting possible/impossible by
remote controller and operation mode selecting possible /impossible
by remote controller.
■Zone control for simpler operation
You can control a maximum of 64 groups of indoor units by using
this central remote controller. You don’t have to repeat the same
setting operations by group because you can make each of the
following settings by zone.
䡬Operation mode
䡬Control mode
䡬Setting temperature
䡬Programming time No. (Used in conjunction with the
schedule timer)
■Monitor and display operating conditions of
indoor units by group
You can display operating conditions such as operation mode and
preset temperature; maintenance information such as time to clean,
etc.; and information on trouble such as malfunction codes.
❈“Time to clean” sign refers to the following functions.
䡬Display the time to clean air filter and the air cleaner element
of electric dust collector for each group.
䡬Display the time to clean when signaled from any given
group.
■Function of refrigerant system display
This display helps you understand, at a glance, the indoor units
sharing the same outdoor unit and the particular indoor unit among
them that is set as the master remote controller.

registered zones.
●If you have set a group in the wrong zone, reset it in
the correct zone. (The last zone set is judged to be
effective.)
●You cannot set the same group in multiple zones.
●When you turn ON the power, the system may
display “ ” for approximately one minute and
may not respond to operation until all the liquid
crystal display appears.
●Unless operated from within one minute from when
the display of zoning appears, the display will
automatically revert back to the “group”display.
●A single setting will simultaneously determine the
same setting of all the groups in the zone. So, pay
attention to the following points in setting the zone.
1. The control mode must be the same for all groups
in the zone.
2. The scheduled operation must be the same for all
groups in the zone, if the operation is controlled by
the timer.
3. The cool/heat operation mode must be the same
for all groups in the zone.
4. The preset temperature must be the same for all
groups in the zone.
Note) Be sure to select the “––”in executing the
operation by zone, as well as to set the
operation mode and the temperature setting
unless the uniform operation is performed in
the above 3 and 4. (See page 22.)

SETTING OPERATION
MODE (Fig. 5)
●The Zone consists of the following
two cases.
A. Zone without display “ ”
The group with master remote controller setting
exists in this zone.
Setting the master remote controller enables cool/
heat selection.
Operations other than cool/heat operations can
also be set for some operations. For further
details, see the list on the right.
B. Zone with display “ ”
No group with master remote controller setting
exists in this zone.
The cool/heat selection is not available because
the master remote controller has not been set.
Some operations other than cool/heat operations
can be set. For further details, see the list in the
right.
See page 31 if the display “ ” is flashing.
1
Press the OPERATION MODE
SELECTOR BUTTON. Each time
you press this button, the display
rotates as shown on the right list.
NOTES
●During cool/heat operation, this central remote
controller enables FAN operation for each zone
even without setting the master remote controller.
Meanwhile, ventilation, ventilation/cleaning, etc. are
available, if UM etc. are connected with this unit in
the zone. See the operation manual provided with
the each unit.
●When the indoor unit is in heat operation, change
the setting to FAN operation through the central
remote controller; then, you can switch the fan
speed to the extremely low fan speed. Warm air
may blow if any other indoor unit belonging to the
same system is in heat operation.
●The indoor fan stops during defrost/hot start.
●DRY cannot be set from the central remote control-
ler.

NOTES
●The setting temperature refers to that of the
temperature sensing part. (It may differ from
the room temperature.)
●The proper setting temperature is 26 –28°C
during cooling operation, and 18 –23°C during
heating operation.
●The setting temperature is not displayed in the
FAN mode and Ventilation/Cleaning mode. The
set temperature is not displayed either if UM
etc. form a zone without an air conditioner.
If you wish to set the temperature to

ERROR DIAGNOSING
FUNCTION (Fig. 8)
This central remote controller is provided with a
diagnosing function, for when an indoor unit stops due
to malfunction. In case of actuation of a safety
device, disconnection in transmission wiring for
control or failure of some parts, the operation lamp,
inspection display and unit No. start to flash; then, the
malfunction code is displayed. Check the contents of

more such indoor units with the remote controller are
connected with the outdoor unit where the operation
modes such as cool/heat operation and FAN operation
can be set by remote controller and central remote
controller.
