J. STARTUP AND OPERATION
J.5 Start-up
This is a warm weather appliance
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the
outside temperature is above 60 °F (15.6 °C) and below 115 °F (46.1 °C),
so it won’t cool a room if it is already cool outside. If you want to cool a
room in the spring or fall, select the FAN ONLY mode and set the Fresh
Air/ Exhaust air control to Fresh Air. This will bring in a supply of cooler
outside air.
Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room
to the outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner
will use most of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is
excessive humidity, there may be excess water that will drip outside.
This is normal operation.
Frosting
This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a
dirty filter, cool damp weather, or all these. Set the SYSTEM mode to
FAN ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little
warmer will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.
Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to
operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is
quieter than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that
the chassis seal gasket (Item 13) is properly installed (refer to the
Installation Instructions).
NOTICE
This unit is certified to operate in cooling mode under these maxi-
mum conditions. Any operation beyond these conditions may result
in intermittent operation.
Indoor temperature: 90 °F (45% relative humidity)
Outdoor temperature: 110 °F (25% relative humidity)
If unit is heat pump equipped, it is certified to operate in heating
mode under these maximum conditions. Any operation beyond these
conditions may result in intermittent operation.
Indoor temperature: 80 °F (humidity does not affect operation)
Outdoor temperature: 70 °F (60% relative humidity)
J.4 Remote Control Operation
Remote Control - Refer to Figure J.4.1 during operation description.
Getting Started - Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery compartment located
on the back of the unit.
Operation - The remote control should be within 25 feet of the air conditioner
for operation. Press the power button to turn the remote on. The remote will
automatically power off after 15 seconds if the buttons are not being pressed. The
remote must be on to control the unit.
POWER Button - Turns remote and unit on and off.
SYSTEM Button - Allows the user to sequentially select the following: AUTO,
COOL, HEAT, and FAN ONLY operations. When the button is pressed, the
display indicates which mode has been selected via a display message. Note that
when the heating function is not available, the system will automatically skip the
HEAT mode.
FAN MODE Button - Selects between automatic (AUTO FAN) or CONTINUOUS
operation. In the AUTO FAN mode, the fan only turns on and off when the
compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.
NOTE: AUTO FAN is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display indicates
CONTINUOUS. In the CONTINUOUS mode, fan speed is determined by
your selection on the FAN SPEED button.
FAN SPEED Button - Used to sequentially select new fan speed, plus AUTO
operation. When the FAN SPEED button is pressed, the fan speed icon (triangle)
changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies depending
on the set temperature on the control panel and the actual room temperature.
For example, if there is a big difference between your set temperature and the
actual room temperature, the system fan speed increases to HIGH. It remains
at this speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.
UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either the UP or DOWN button changes the
desired room temperature. The factory preset lower and upper limits are 60 °F
(16 °C) and 99 °F (37 °C). These buttons are also used to navigate between
function options when using the User Menu or Maintenance Mode.
Remote Effectiveness
Handheld Remote - Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared
remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to the air
conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to “bounce” off of walls and
furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram below shows the typical
operating range of the control in a standard room with 8 ft high ceilings.
