This document describes the Fujitsu General Limited UTY-RNRUZ5 Wired Remote Controller, a device designed for controlling air conditioning systems.
Function Description
The UTY-RNRUZ5 is a wired remote controller for air conditioning systems, including VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and other multi-split or single-split types. It serves as the primary interface for users to monitor and operate indoor units, as well as configure various system settings. The controller supports both heat recovery and heat pump systems, with specific selectable modes depending on the system configuration and operation status.
The device allows users to:
- Monitor the system status, including current operation mode, set temperature, fan speed, room temperature, and various special states like "Under Maintenance," "Forced Stop," "Mode Mismatch," "Operation Controlled," "Set Temp. Limited," "Energy Saving Operation," "Emergency Heat," "Defrost," "Oil Recovery," "Human Sensor Setting," and "Fan Control for Energy Saving."
- Control basic operations such as turning the system on/off (Occupied/Unoccupied), setting the operation mode (Cool, Dry, Heat, Custom Auto), adjusting the temperature, and controlling the fan speed (Auto, Custom).
- Configure Settings, including:
- Air Flow Direction: Adjusting vertical (VT) and horizontal (HZ) air flow, and individual VT hold for compatible cassette-type indoor units.
- Auto Off Timer: Setting a timer for the system to automatically turn off after a specified duration or within a defined time range.
- Weekly Timer: Creating up to two weekly operation schedules with up to 8 settings per day, including day-off settings. This feature is for administrators and requires a password.
- Special Settings:
- Economy Mode: Automatically offsets temperature settings to save power.
- Set Temp. Auto Return: Automatically returns the temperature to a preset value after a period of manual adjustment. This is an administrator function.
- Set Temp. Range Setting: Restricts the settable temperature range for different operation modes to suppress excessive power consumption. This is an administrator function.
- Anti Freeze: Performs low-temperature heating to prevent water lines and equipment from freezing when the air conditioning is off. This is an administrator function.
- Away Setting: Sets an unoccupied state with specific start temperatures for cooling and heating to save energy during long absences. This is an administrator function.
- Human Sensor Setting: Detects the absence of people to switch to energy-saving operation (Auto Saving) or stop indoor unit operation (Auto Off). This is an administrator function.
- Fan Control for Energy Saving: Operates the fan intermittently to save power when the set temperature is reached during cooling. This is an administrator function.
- Emergency Heat: Activates an auxiliary heater as the primary heat source, stopping the outdoor unit.
- Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time) Setting: Adjusts the time display and timer operation by one hour. This is an administrator function.
- Preference Settings: (for administrator)
- Panel Calibration: Calibrates the touch panel screen.
- Backlight Setting: Configures backlight enable/disable, brightness, and off time.
- Contrast Setting: Adjusts the screen contrast.
- Initial Settings: (for administrator)
- Language Setting: Switches the display language (English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish).
- Date Setting: Sets the date and time, including display format.
- Temp. Unit Setting: Switches the temperature display unit (°C or °F).
- R.C. Group Name Setting: Allows setting or changing the remote controller group name.
- R.C. Sensor Setting: Enables or disables the use of the unit's internal room temperature sensor.
- Password Setting: Sets and changes the administrator password, which is required for various advanced settings.
- Display Item Setting: Controls the visibility of the filter sign and room temperature on the display.
- Deadband Setting: Sets the deadband value (2°F to 9°F / 1°C to 4.5°C) for the Master Indoor Unit.
- Optimum Start Setting: Enables advance operation to reach the set temperature by the scheduled occupied time.
- Lead Lag Setting: For multiple indoor units in an R.C. Group, enables units to take turns stopping for backup.
