1.General Introduction
1.1 Function Introduction
This smart centralized controller is intended for New UNI DC Inverter Series, capable of controlling
up to 16 sets of units with maximum of 16 indoor units.
Through this smart centralized controller, it is available to view and control those running parameters
of the indoor unit, including on/off, running mode, fan speed etc, and also perform the single control and centralized
control, further, it also can set the weekly timer and long-distance shielding to realize convenient control to the
air conditioning system.
a. Single control: it is intended to control the running parameters of a designated indoor unit individually.
b.Centralized control: it is intended to control the running parameters of all indoor units at the same time.
c. Shielding under single or centralized control: it is intended to shield the running parameter of the indoor
unit.
d.Weekly timer under single or centralized control: it is intended to set when to start/stop the unit through
long-distance control.
e. Clock: it is intended to set and display the weekday, hour and minute.
After the debugging to the controller is nished, it can check the on-line indoor units and display the
parameter setting of the current running mode, set temperature, fan speed, weekly timer, shielding function etc.
When some error occurs, the error symbol and the error code will be displayed to warn a quick maintenance.
This smart centralized controller can be connected to the unit through the communication line without
the need of the communication module, which can extremely ease and simplify the installation.

5.3.5 Timer
Timer, namely weekly timer, taking one week as a cycle, is enabled to set the on/off time (taking 0.5 hour
as the unit) of the unit on some day or days in one week and several time periods at the same day and then
keep this setting circulating weekly.
Introduction to the weekly timer:
a. Once the weekly timer is set, the unit will automatically be turned on/off as the set time starts/ends. For
instance, on condition that the current time is 9:00 Friday and the setting of the timer is shown as the gure
below, then the unit will be turned on at 10:00 and turned off at 10:30 and then again be turned on at 12:30 and
off at 13:30.
b.The weekly timer does not conict with the manual on/off control, that is, the unit can be turned on/
off manually even if the weekly timer is set and the unit also can be turned on/off as the setting of the weekly
timer.
For instance, on condition that the weekly timer is set as the gure below from 8:00 to 10:00 and from
15:30 to 21:30, the current time is 8:40 Friday and the unit is turned off manually, then the unit will be
automatically turned on at 15:30 and later turned off at 21:30.
