3. Operation
Automatic operation (single set point)
■
According to a set temperature, cooling operation starts if the room
temperature is too hot and heating operation starts if the room
temperature is too cold.
■
During automatic operation, if the room temperature changes and
remains 1.5 °C (3 °F) or more above the set temperature for 3
minutes, the air conditioner switches to cool mode. In the same way,
if the room temperature remains 1.5 °C (3 °F) or more below the set
temperature for 3 minutes, the air conditioner switches to heat mode.

■
Because the room temperature is automatically adjusted in order to
maintain a fixed effective temperature, cooling operation is performed
a few degrees warmer and heating operation is performed a few
degrees cooler than the set room temperature once the temperature is
reached (automatic energy-saving operation).

• Refer to the table on page 7 for the settable temperature range for
different operation modes.
• The preset temperature settings for cooling and heating in the Auto
(dual set point) mode are also used by the Cool/Drying and Heat
modes.
• The preset temperatures for cooling and heating in the Auto (dual
set point) mode must meet the conditions below:
•
Preset cooling temperature is higher than preset heating temperature.
•
The minimum temperature difference requirement between cooling and
heating preset temperatures (varies with the models of indoor units
connected) is met.
*
If preset temperatures are set in a way that does not meet the minimum
temperature difference requirement, both preset temperatures will
automatically be changed within the allowable setting ranges.

When the operation mode is set to the Auto (dual set point) mode, two
preset temperatures (one each for cooling and heating) can be set.
Depending on the room temperature, indoor unit will automatically
operate in either the Cool or Heat mode and keep the room temperature
within the preset range.
The graph below shows the operation pattern of indoor unit operated in
the Auto (dual set point) mode.

<Setback mode>
Room temperature is controlled to stay within the set temperature range
that is specified for the Setback mode. By leaving sufficient temperature
differential between the set temperature for cooling (upper limit) and
heating (lower limit), it is possible to keep the room temperature within
the specified range without overworking the air conditioners.
This setting will be especially effective during periods of non-occupancy.

Press the [F4] button to go through the fan speeds in the following order.
• The available fan speeds depend on the models of connected indoor
units.
Notes:
The number of available fan speeds depends on the type of unit
connected. Note also that some units do not provide an "Auto" setting.
In the following cases, the actual fan speed generated by the unit will differ
from the speed shown the remote controller display.
1. While the display is showing "STAND BY" or "DEFROST".
2. When the temperature of the heat exchanger is low in the heat mode.
(e.g. immediately after heat operation starts)
3. In HEAT mode, when room temperature is higher than the temperature
setting.
4. When the unit is in DRYING mode.
