REMOTE CONTROLLER

Transmitter

When you press the buttons on the remote controller, the mark appears in the display to transmit the setting changes to the receiver in the air conditioner.

Display

Information on the operating conditions is displayed while the remote controller is switched on. If the unit is turned off, FLAP setting and FAN SPEED setting are not displayed.

HIGH POWER button

: If this button is pressed during DRY, COOL or FAN operation, the unit operates at maximum output for 30 minutes, regardless of the desired temperature.

The fan speed is 1step above ‘‘HIGH’’.

FAN SPEED selector button

: The air conditioner automatically decides the fan speeds.

: High fan speed

: Medium fan speed : Low fan speed

FLAP button

Press this button either to select the setting of the airflow direction to the auto. flap in each mode or one of the six possible positions manually or to select the sweep function which moves the flap up and down automatically.

: Auto flap setting: If selected in a cooling or dry operation, the flap is set at position (7) in the following chart.

: The airflow direction can be set manually. (six positions) : The flap moves up and down automatically.

NOTE

When you press the FLAP button, the air flow direction will be changed one by one as follows.

SWEEP

ON TIME/OFF TIME setting buttons

Advance button

Return button

No display: The timer does not operate.

: The air conditioner starts at the set time.

: The air conditioner stops at the set time.

: The air conditioner stops and starts, or starts and stops, at the set times every day. For details, see

“SETTING THE TIMER”.

CANCEL button

SENSOR button

When you press this button (use a small-tipped object such as a ballpoint

pen), the mark will appear at the display. And the room temperature is detected by the sensor which is built into the indoor unit and the air conditioner is controlled accordingly.

NOTE

If the remote controller is located near a heat source, such as a space heater or in direct sunlight, press the SENSOR button to switch to the sensor on the indoor unit.

ADDRESS switch

The address switch changes to prevent mixing of signals from remote controller’s when two air conditioners are installed next to each other. Normally, the address switch is set to A. For more information, please contact the dealer where you made the purchase.

Normally, the tabs on the remote controller should not be bent.

Temperature display selector button

This switches the temperature display between °C and °F.

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.
