The information displayed varies depending on
the authorisation level (user/expert level). If
several indoor units have been combined as a
group, they are still displayed individually in this
overview in order to query them individually.
"Settings" basic menu
The operating parameters of the connected indoor
units can be set via this menu. The connected
indoor units are clearly listed in the unit list with the
respective assigned address.
Fig. 6: Settings
The designation of the indoor units can only be
changed via the Smart Web Portal. To do so,
select the "Edit" menu item in the "Unit over-
view"
Fig. 7: "Edit" menu item
In the upper area, you will find the "Rename indoor

Fig. 8: Rename indoor units
The various settings can be made by selecting the
respective indoor unit.
The settings are preset individually for each
indoor unit. These settings are the basis for
selecting the operating mode in the "Overview"
menu. Example: If the status of the respective
indoor unit is set to "OFF", this unit will not
switch on even if "Automatic" operating mode
was selected in the overview. To do this, the
indoor unit must be set to "On"
Status:
The respective indoor unit is switched on or off
individually here.
Operating mode:
If the overall operating mode is "Manual", cooling,
heating, recirculation and dehumidification are
available here. If the overall operating mode is
"Automatic", the operating mode of the respective
indoor unit changes automatically depending on
the outdoor temperature.
Room target temperature:
The desired room temperature is set here in the
range "17 to 30°C".
Fan speed:
Select from "Automatic", "Low", "Medium" and
"High". In "Automatic" operating mode, the air
volume flow is adapted to the currently required
unit output.
Swing mode:
The automatic louvre function can be switched on
or off here for better air distribution. This function is
available via the SC-1 controller only for the hori-
zontal air control blade!
Anti-freeze protection function:
If this function is activated, the unit automatically
switches to heating mode at a room temperature
<7°C. The unit switches off again as soon as a
room temperature of 12°C is reached.

Time programs:
Up to 6 time programs can be activated here.
Example: If the indoor unit is to be switched on in
the morning and off in the evening on weekdays,
select number 2 here.
2 time windows appear in the settings menu:
Fig. 9: Time window
In time program one, select Mon. - Fri. with the
desired time and select "ON".
In time window 2, also select Mon. - Fri. but with
the desired time and the "OFF" function.
The indoor unit then switches on and off automati-
cally at these times with the functions previously
selected in the settings menu.
Expert settings:
If the expert level is activated, the functions "IR
remote control lock", "Modes lock" and "Group" are
also available.
Fig. 10: Expert settings
IR remote control:
In this menu item, the IR remote control can be
"locked" or "enabled". If the "locked" function is
activated, the indoor unit can no longer be oper-
ated by IR remote control.
Mode lock:
"Enabled", "Cooling only", "Heating only" and
"Recirculation only" are available. If the function is
set to "enabled", all operating modes can be set
via IR remote control. To avoid 'mode conflicts' in
multi-split systems, the "Cooling only" function can
be selected here, for example. The indoor unit then
only allows the cooling function. It is no longer pos-
sible to select the "Heating" operating mode.
Group:
This allows the indoor unit to be assigned to a unit
group. For example, if you want to combine units
05 and 06 into one group and operate them in par-
allel, select "Add to group 05" in the Group menu
item in the settings for unit 06.
Fig. 11: Unit group
In the unit overview, the units are now grouped
together as group 05 (also recognisable by the
group symbol). You can assign an individual name
for this group in the Smart Web Portal.
"Messages" basic menu
Any malfunctions associated with the respective
indoor units are displayed here. In the event of a
fault, the message symbol lights up red.
Enable expert level:
You can access the expert level via the REMKO
logo in the top right corner of the screen.
You will be asked to enter the expert password,
which is "0321".
The expert level is then active (recognisable by the
