8-1. Operation Functions

Emergency operation

Emergency operation is available when the remote controller malfunctions, has been lost, or otherwise cannot be used.

To operate the system, press the OPERATION button, which is also used as the receiver, below the unit display. Each time this button is pressed, the OPERATION lamp changes color to indicate the type of operation. Select the desired type of operation.

The set temperature is 4°F(2°C) below the detected room temperature in the case of cooling operation, and 4°F(2°C) above the room temperature in the case of heating operation. The flap and fan speed settings are AUTO.

AUTO cooling/heating operation

Selecting the operation mode

When AUTO mode is selected, the microprocessor calculates the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature, and automatically switches to Cooling or Heating mode.

As shown by the example in the figure below, with AUTO cooling/heating operation, the mode changes between Heating and Cooling mode according to changes in the relationship between the current room temperature and the set temperature.

SENSOR DRY

During DRY operation, the system adjusts the room temperature and fan speed according to the conditions in the room, in order to maintain a comfortable room environment.

SENSOR DRY operation

DRY operation is as shown in the figure below.

Load

COOL zone

Azone B zone

Conditions are monitored at all times when the room temperature is below 59°F(15°C).

DRY A

The compressor operation frequency varies.

The indoor fan operates with 1/f fluctuation.

DRY B

The compressor operates at a low operating frequency. The indoor fan operates with 1/f fluctuation.

Monitor

Monitoring operation takes place when the room temperature is below 59°F(15°C), or more than 5°F(3°C) below the set temperature.

When the monitoring range is entered, the compressor stops, and the indoor fan operates with 1/f fluctuation.

PAM- control

In order to further improve inverter performance, control is switched between PWM control at low operation speeds, and PAM control at high operation speeds, making the most effective use of power.

CZ-18BT1U, CS-KE12NB41, CS-KE18NB4UW, CU-KE18NKU, CU-KE12NK1 specifications

The Panasonic CS-KE18NB4UW and CU-KE12NK1, along with the CS-KE12NB41, CZ-18BT1U, and CU-KE18NKU, represent a suite of advanced air conditioning solutions built with cutting-edge technologies designed to provide optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality in various settings.

One of the standout features of this lineup is the inverter technology. Inverter air conditioners adjust the compressor speed to maintain the desired temperature efficiently. This leads to significant energy savings compared to traditional air conditioners, which tend to frequently cycle on and off, consuming more power. By continuously regulating the temperature, the Panasonic units not only save electricity but also prolong the lifespan of the compressor.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the nanoe™ technology integrated into some of these models. Nanoe™ technology uses hydroxyl radicals to purify the air, minimizing harmful bacteria and allergens. This makes the Panasonic units particularly suitable for users with allergies or respiratory issues, providing a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

In terms of design, these models are sleek and compact, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any room decor, whether in a home, office, or commercial space. The quiet operation is another advantage, making them ideal for bedrooms and study areas where minimal noise is essential.

Furthermore, the CS-KE18NB4UW and CU-KE12NK1 offer a range of powerful cooling and heating capacities, making them versatile solutions for various climate conditions. The cold climate performance ensures consistent heating in colder regions, while the robust cooling capabilities make them perfect for hot summer months.

The user-friendly features include a smart remote control system, allowing users to adjust settings with ease from a distance. Some models are equipped with Wi-Fi capability, enabling integration with smart home systems for enhanced control and programmability.

In conclusion, the Panasonic CS-KE18NB4UW, CU-KE12NK1, CS-KE12NB41, CZ-18BT1U, and CU-KE18NKU air conditioning units exemplify innovation and efficiency. With their inverter technology, air purification features, compact designs, and smart functionalities, they stand out as ideal choices for maintaining comfortable and healthy indoor environments throughout the year.
