HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

ACL button

1.Slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow and remove it.

2.Install two AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure the batteries point in the direction marked in the battery compartment.

3.Use a thin object such as the tip of a pen to press the ACL button.

 

 

The batteries last about six months,

CAUTION

 

 

 

depending on how much you use the

 

 

 

 

 

 

remote controller. Replace the

 

 

 

batteries when the remote controller’s

 

 

 

display fails to light, or when the

 

 

 

remote controller cannot be used to

 

 

 

change the air conditioner’s settings.

 

 

Use two fresh leak-proof type-AAA

 

 

 

alkaline batteries.

 

 

• In replacing batteries, follow the

 

 

 

instructions as mentioned in the

 

 

 

subsection “HOW TO INSTALL

 

 

 

BATTERIES”.

 

 

If you do not use the remote controller

 

 

 

more than 1 month, take out the

 

 

 

batteries.

 

 

Dispose of the used batteries at the

 

 

 

designated location in compliance

 

 

 

with the applicable local ordinances.

REMOTE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION POSITION

The remote controller may be operated either from a non-fixed position or from a wall-mounted position. To ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly, do not install the remote controller in the following places:

In direct sunlight

Behind a curtain or other places where it is covered

More than 26 ft.(8 m) away from the air conditioner

In the path of the air conditioner’s airstream

Where it may become extremely hot or cold

Where it may be subject to electrical or magnetic noise

Where there is an obstacle between the remote controller and air conditioner (since a check signal is sent from the remote controller every 5 minutes)

MOUNTING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER

Before mounting the remote controller, press the ON/OFF operation button at the mounting location to make sure that the air conditioner operates from that location. The indoor unit should make a beeping sound to indicate that it has received the signal.

WHEN HOLDING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER

When using the remote controller and during air conditioner operation, the transmitter on the remote controller should be pointed towards the receiver on the indoor unit.

Make sure that there are no objects between the remote controller and receiver which could block the signal.

Panasonic R410A service manual Using the Remote Controller

R410A specifications

Panasonic R410A is a refrigerant that has gained significant popularity in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry due to its favorable environmental properties and performance characteristics. Specifically designed to replace the harmful R22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to its ozone-depleting potential, R410A offers a more eco-friendly alternative without compromising on efficiency or power.

One of the main features of R410A is its high energy efficiency. It operates at a higher pressure than R22, resulting in better heat transfer capabilities. This increased efficiency translates to lower energy consumption, making units using R410A more cost-effective in the long run. Additionally, R410A is known for its ability to provide excellent cooling performance even in high-temperature environments, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from residential air conditioning systems to commercial refrigeration units.

In terms of composition, R410A is a blend of two hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), namely R32 and R125. This combination not only minimizes ozone depletion potential (ODP) but also reduces global warming potential (GWP) compared to older refrigerants. Panasonic has emphasized the importance of innovative technologies in its products, and R410A aligns perfectly with the company's commitment to developing sustainable solutions.

Panasonic also integrates advanced technologies to optimize the performance of R410A systems. For example, variable speed compressors, known as inverter technology, enhance system efficiency by adjusting the compressor's speed according to the cooling demand. This ensures that energy is only consumed when needed, further reducing operational costs.

Furthermore, R410A has a wide range of applications, including air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and chillers. Its versatility makes it a popular choice among manufacturers and consumers alike. The refrigerant is also compatible with existing R22 equipment, although specific retrofit procedures must be followed to ensure peak performance and reliability.

In conclusion, Panasonic R410A stands out as an innovative refrigerant choice in the HVAC industry, offering a combination of energy efficiency, environmentally friendly properties, and advanced technologies. As regulatory frameworks continue to tighten on greenhouse gas emissions, R410A and similar refrigerants are expected to play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable future for air conditioning and refrigeration. Its high performance and lower environmental impact solidify its position as a leading refrigerant in contemporary cooling solutions.
