This document is an owner's manual for a Systemair remote controller, providing detailed instructions and specifications for its use with an air conditioning unit.
Remote Controller Specifications
The remote controller supports various models including RRG10A(E2S)/BGEF, RG10A(E2S)/BGEFU1, RG10A1(E2S)/BGEF, RG10A2(E2S)/BGEFU1, RG10A2(E2S)/BGCEFU1, RG10A2(E2S)/BGCEF, RG10A10(E2S)/BGEF, RG10B(E2)/BGEF, RG10B1(E2)/BGEF, RG10B2(E2)/BGCEF, RG10B10(E2)/BGEF, and RG10B10(E2)/BGCEF. It operates on a rated voltage of 3.0V, powered by two R03/LR03 dry batteries. The signal receiving range is up to 8 meters, and it can operate in an environment with temperatures ranging from -5°C to 60°C (23°F to 140°F).
Handling the Remote Controller
Inserting and Replacing Batteries:
To insert or replace batteries, slide the back cover downward to expose the battery compartment. Insert two R03/LR03 batteries, ensuring the (+) and (-) ends match the symbols inside the compartment. Then, slide the battery cover back into place.
Battery Notes:
For optimal performance, do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types. If the device will not be used for more than 2 months, remove the batteries from the remote control. Batteries should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste; refer to local laws for proper disposal.
Tips for Using Remote Control:
The remote control must be used within 8 meters of the air conditioning unit. The unit will emit a beep when a remote signal is received. Curtains, other materials, and direct sunlight can interfere with the infrared signal receiver.
Notes for Using Remote Control (FCC/ICES Compliance):
The device complies with local national regulations. In Canada, it adheres to CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B). In the USA, it complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules, meaning operation is subject to two conditions: it may not cause harmful interference, and it must accept any interference received. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with Class B digital device limits, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. If interference occurs, users are encouraged to reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase separation between equipment and receiver, connect the equipment to a different circuit, or consult a dealer/experienced radio/TV technician. Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
