This document describes the Pioneer Blade Series Wall Mounted System, an air conditioner and heat pump designed for residential use. It functions to provide cooling, heating, dehumidification, and air circulation, utilizing hydrocarbon M50 refrigerant. The system is available in several models: HPR-09A2, HPR-12A2, HPR-18A2, and HPR-24A2.

Function Description

The Pioneer Blade Series operates as both an air conditioner and a heat pump, offering versatile climate control. It uses M50 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which is highlighted as environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and non-ozone-depleting, while also being energy-efficient, consuming at least 35% less energy than comparable systems. The unit can operate in various modes: Auto, Cooling, Dry, Fan, and Heating.

In Auto mode, the air conditioner automatically adjusts its operation based on factory settings, and the set temperature cannot be manually adjusted or displayed. The fan speed in Auto mode is also automatically selected according to the ambient room temperature.

The Cooling mode allows the unit to operate under cooling conditions. Users can adjust the temperature using the "+" or "-" buttons on the remote control and set the fan speed (Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, Fan4, Fan5, Turbo, Stepless speed) and fan blowing angle.

In Dry mode, the air conditioner operates to dehumidify the room. In this mode, the fan speed is fixed at Fan1 (the lowest speed) and cannot be adjusted. The fan blowing angle can still be selected.

The Fan mode circulates air without cooling or heating. Users can select various fan speeds (Auto, Fan1-Fan5, Turbo, Stepless speed) and adjust the fan blowing angle.

For Heating mode, the unit provides warmth. Similar to Cooling mode, the temperature can be adjusted with the "+" or "-" buttons, and the fan speed and blowing angle can be set. A notable feature in heating mode is a delay of one to five minutes before air starts blowing, preventing the discharge of cold air at startup. This auto-delay time depends on the indoor ambient temperature.

The system also includes a Low Temperature Heating Function. When active in heating mode, the remote control displays "LA". This function can be entered or exited by pressing "Mode" and "+" simultaneously. While this function is active, the fan speed defaults to Auto and cannot be adjusted. Additionally, "Sleep," "Turbo," and "Quiet" settings cannot be activated simultaneously with low temperature heating. If "Sleep" is activated while low temperature heating is on, the unit will exit low temperature heating mode and enter sleep mode. Exiting low temperature heating mode restores the previously set speed and temperature.

Usage Features

The Pioneer Blade Series is controlled via a remote control, which features a display showing current settings such as fan speed, temperature, mode, and other activated functions. The remote control requires two AAA batteries.

Key buttons on the remote control include:

ON/OFF button: To power the unit on or off.
Mode button: To switch between Auto, Cooling, Dry, Fan, and Heating modes.
"+" and "-" buttons: To adjust the set temperature (range 16~31°C) or timer settings. Holding these buttons allows for rapid adjustment.
Fan button: To select fan speed (Auto, Fan1-Fan5, Turbo, Stepless speed). In stepless speed mode, fine adjustments can be made using the "+" or "-" buttons.
Swing buttons: Two separate buttons control the horizontal and vertical louver swing. One button allows selection of the fan blowing angle in a circular pattern, including an "auto swing" option where the louver swings up and down automatically to the maximum angle, and fixed position swings. The other button controls left and right swing, also offering auto swing and fixed position options.
Sleep button: Activates or deactivates the sleep function in cooling, dry, and heating modes. This function is off by default and is cleared when the mode changes. It is not available in Fan or Auto modes.
Timer button: Sets the timer for turning the unit on or off, with a range of 0.5 to 24 hours. The remote control display blinks "HOUR ON (HOUR OFF)" when setting the timer, and "8.0" is displayed upon confirmation.
Light button: Toggles the display light on the indoor unit.
I Feel button: Activates the "I Feel" function, where the remote control detects the ambient temperature and sends it to the indoor unit, which then automatically adjusts the indoor temperature accordingly. The remote control should be kept near the user and away from hot or cold objects for accurate readings.
ECO button: Operates the unit in ECO mode when in cooling mode. In this mode, the remote controller displays "EL," the set temperature cannot be adjusted, and the air conditioner operates at auto fan speed. Exiting ECO mode is done by pressing the "Mode" button.
Health button: Turns on or off the cold plasma generator, which ionizes H2O molecules and facilitates neutral reactions between positive and negative ions to eliminate bacteria and odors. This function may not be available on all models.
Child Lock function: Activated by pressing "+" and "-" simultaneously for 3 seconds. When active, a lock icon appears on the remote control, and subsequent button presses will cause the icon to blink three times without sending a signal to the unit.
Celsius to Fahrenheit switch: In off mode, pressing "Mode" and "buttons simultaneously switches the temperature display between °C and °F.
Wi-Fi setting: Pressing the "Wi-Fi" and "Mode" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds activates the Wi-Fi setting. This is an optional function and may not be available on all units.

The remote control should be pointed at the signal receiver on the indoor unit, kept within eight meters, and free of obstacles. Fluorescent lamps or wireless telephones may interfere with the signal. Batteries should be removed if the remote control is not used for an extended period, and replaced if the display becomes fuzzy or blank.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of the Pioneer Blade Series.

Cleaning the Indoor Unit Surface: The surface of the indoor unit should be cleaned with a soft, dry, or damp cloth. The panel should not be removed during this process. Abrasive or volatile liquids should not be used.

Cleaning the Filter:

Open the panel: Pull out the panel to a specific angle as shown in the manual's image.
Remove the filter: Detach the filter from its position.
Clean the filter: The filter can be cleaned with a duster or water. For very dirty filters, warm water (below 45°C) is recommended. After washing, the filter should be dried in a shady and cool place.
Reinstall the filter: Once dry, reinsert the filter and securely close the panel cover.

Important Notes for Filter Maintenance:

The filter should be cleaned at least every three months, or more frequently in dusty environments.
Care must be taken not to touch the fins after removing the filter, as they are sharp and can cause injury.
An open flame or hair dryer should not be used to dry the filter, as this poses a fire hazard.

Pre-season Cleaning Checklist: Before the operating season begins, users should:

Check if air inlets and outlets are blocked.
Verify that the air switch, plug, and socket are in good condition.
Ensure the filter is clean.
Inspect the drainage pipe for any damage.

Post-season Checklist: After the operating season, users should:

Disconnect the power supply.
Clean the filter and the indoor unit's panel.

Safety Warnings:

Always turn off the air conditioner and disconnect power before cleaning to prevent electric shock.
Do not wash the air conditioner with water to avoid electric shocks or malfunctions.
Do not spray water on the indoor unit.
All maintenance, repairs, installation, and moving of the unit must be performed by qualified professionals to avoid serious damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Do not insert fingers or objects into the air inlet or air outlet.
Do not block the air outlet or air inlet.
Do not spill water on the remote control.
If any abnormal conditions occur (e.g., overheating power cord, abnormal sound, frequent circuit breaker trips, burning smell, indoor unit leaking), immediately turn off the unit, disconnect power, and contact a professional.
If an error code is displayed, consult the error code list or contact a professional.
When using the isolation switch, use a non-metallic insulating object to avoid electric shock.
Do not step on or place heavy objects on the outdoor unit's top panel.

The manual also provides a problem-solving guide with common issues, possible causes, and solutions, and a list of error codes for diagnostic purposes. For any issues not covered or for other error codes, contacting a qualified professional is advised.
