… and key comfort features

Eco-Compact controller also enables control of some advanced functions for user comfort including…
● GentleCool limits the temperature of conditioned air, preventing cold drafts for optimal comfort.
● AutoBoost automatically activates for 30 minutes every time the AC is turned on, helping the room reach the desired temperature faster.
● Sleep Mode Timer progressively modifies the temperature to create better conditions for a deep sleep. After a preset time (3 to 8 hours), the indoor unit automatically turns off. Ideal for hotel rooms and apartments.

Program on/off operation

Users and building managers can schedule air conditioning to operate at specific times of day and on specific days of the week within a weekly program.
For example, matching business hours to ensure user comfort but automatically saving energy when the space is not in use.

Save energy when needed

●  The power-saving feature prevents excessive power consumption by cutting the peak capacity of the system.

● To prevent excessive cooling/heating set by occupants, the set temperature range can be limited or the controller itself can be locked. Those options are useful for controllers exposed to potentially careless users, such as classrooms and public spaces.

Embedded IR sensor for optional hand-held remote controller

Works with optional hand-held remote*, enabling communication between the remote control and multiple air conditioning units via the wall controller.
Particularly useful if indoor units without an IR receiver are installed, such as ducted or Silent-Iconic panel.

*Compatible wireless hand-held remote controllers: models HCRB10NEWQ & PC-LH7QE/PC-LH7QE1

Configure settings faster using your smartphone

Access all controller settings via your mobile phone using airCloud Tap.

Enables faster data entry during initial configuration and troubleshooting, or any time controller settings need to be modified.

If multiple Eco-Compact controllers are installed, the same settings can be copied from your phone to multiple controllers with a simple tap, saving potentially hours of configuration time.

Simply download our airCloud Tap mobile app and tap your phone with the Eco-Compact Controller using NFC (Near-Field Communication) for contactless settings.
