4.5 <KRCS01-1A> Remote Sensor
The built-in temperature control thermistor of the indoor unit is mounted in the intake port of the main body. Some
difference can occur between the temperature setting of the built-in thermistor and the actual indoor temperature. In such
case, remove the thermistor from the indoor unit and remount it near the living area so that the remote sensor can sense
the temperature of the living area.
This kit can be used for all indoor units in the Skyair series and the VRV series.
Examples:
Skyair: FHYC
VRV: FXYC
If you are unsure if this kit can be used with your particular indoor unit, check the type of thermistor (inlet air temperature
sensor).
The type of thermistor is ST8601.
It is shaped as shown below.
<1> Kit components
This kit includes the following components.
<2> Mounting
i) Selecting the mounting position
The remote sensor incorporates a thermistor to sense the temperature.
Select mounting position carefully on the basis of the following considerations.
A location with an average temperature for the room being air conditioned
Out of direct sunlight
Away from the influence of other heat sources
Not directly exposed to the outlet air from the air conditioner
Not directly exposed to the air entering the room when a door is opened.
ii)Mounting
Surface mounting
z Break out the wiring hole tabs in the sensor box using nippers or a similar tool.
z Screw the sensor box securely to the wall surface. (2 points)
z Wire to the electronic control unit in the indoor unit by first removing the existing thermistor (inlet air temperature
sensor) and connecting the extension cable in its place.
(The existing thermistor is no longer required.)
