Function Description:

The Durastar wall-mounted indoor unit is a component of a split-style air conditioning system designed to regulate indoor temperatures. It operates in various modes including COOL, HEAT, DRY (dehumidify), and FAN, allowing users to achieve desired climate control. The unit is designed for residential single-family homes and is part of a system that includes an outdoor unit. It features a remote control for convenient operation and a manual override button for emergency use. The system is equipped with safety features that activate to protect the unit from damage if operated outside specified temperature ranges. It also includes an auto-restart function that restores prior settings after a power interruption.
