About your remote controller

Your new remote controller is pre-programmed and ready to go. All you have to do is set the time and day. Then check the settings below and change if needed:

1. Set time and day (required for proper operation) See page 5
2. Select fan setting.. See page 6
3. Select system setting.. See page 7
4. Program schedules: Preset to energy-saving levels while space is occupied (assumes arrival at 8 am and departure at 10 pm). See pages 10-11

ONE TOUCH TEMP CONTROL: You can override the program schedule at any time, and manually adjust the temperature (see pages 13-16).

• Drying: Remote controller directs indoor unit to remove moisture out of the air. May result in temperatures below your cool setting.
• Auto: Remote controller automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
• Off: Indoor unit is off.

Multi-zone configurations

In multi-zone configurations, each zone is typically set to the same mode (Cool, Heat, or Drying).

If zones are set to different modes, the first indoor unit to call for heat or cool will take priority. Other zones go into standby, and "Wait" will be displayed on the screen.

Drying mode (if configured)

Set Clock/Day Schedule	Fan	System	More
	Auto	Drying

Drying mode removes moisture from the air and works differently depending on the type of equipment installed. The temperature setting might or might not be displayed.

The indoor unit will determine the Drying mode temperature setting. The setting will be either:

• the cool temperature setting, or
  3^ (2^) below room temperature.

Program default settings

This remote controller is pre-set to use energy saving program settings. We recommend these settings, since they can reduce your heating/cooling expenses. (See page 12 to adjust times and temperatures of each time period.)

	Heat (Mon-Fri)	Cool (Mon-Fri)	Heat (Sat-Sun)	Cool (Sat-Sun)
occupied1(8:00 am)	70°	75°	70°	75°
unoccupied1(10:00 pm)	55°	85°	55°	85°
occupied 2	--	--	--	--
unoccupied 2	--	--	--	--

occupied 2 and unoccupied 2 periods may be programmed as needed, depending on installed configuration.

Residential program default settings

This remote controller is pre-programmed to use commercial energy saving program settings. For use in a home, change the program to match your schedule. (See page 12 to adjust times and temperatures of each time period.)

May cancel Leave, Return and Sleep periods.

System Changeover

Press until screen displays "Auto"

System Changeover is a feature used in climates where both air conditioning and heating are often used on the same day. When the system is set to "Auto," the remote controller automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.

Heat and cool settings must be at least 2 degrees apart, depending how your remote controller was configured. The remote controller will automatically adjust settings to maintain this 2 (or more) degree separation.

Note: The "Auto" system setting may not appear, depending on how your remote controller was configured.

The optional Portable Central Controller can manage temperatures of multiple split-zoning systems from almost anywhere on the property.

The Portable Central Controller also works with other RedLINK™ devices used with other types of heating and cooling equipment.

One Portable Comfort Control can adjust up to 16 zones on a single property.

Note: The remote controller may take up to 15 seconds to respond to commands entered at the Portable Central Controller.

Outdoor air sensor (optional)

The outdoor air sensor allows outdoor air temperature and humidity to be shown on your remote controller.

The outdoor air sensor also works with other RedLINK™ devices used with other types of heating and cooling equipment.

Only use AA lithium batteries for the outdoor air sensor.

Remote Controller additional features

To display outdoor temperature and humidity

This timer can be set up to 24 hours in advance. Depending on how this feature was installed, the indoor unit will either:

A) Stay turned Off indefinitely until the user changes the system mode.
B) Stay turned Off until the next scheduled period

Example:

If a room will be unoccupied at 10:00 PM, press MORE until "Power Off At" appears. Press ▲ until 10:00 PM. Press DONE to exit.

To clear the "Power Off At" timer from the home screen, press CANCEL.

M32304

Remote Controller additional features (continued)

Optimal Start: This feature eliminates the guesswork when setting your schedule. It allows the remote controller to "learn" how long your Split-Zoning System takes to reach programmed temperature settings, so the temperature is reached at the time you set.
