Operation Features
Operating temperature and humidity
Mode | Outdoor temperature | Indoor temperature | Indoor humidity |
---|---|---|---|
Cool mode | -20°C to 52°C | 18°C to 32°C | 80% or less |
Heat mode | -25°C to 24°C | 30°C or less | - |
Dry mode | -20°C to 52°C | 18°C to 32°C | 80% or less |
CAUTION
- If you use the air conditioner at a relative humidity above 80%, it may cause a formation of condensation and a leakage of water on the floor.
- The rated heating capacity is based on an outdoor temperature of 7°C. If the outdoor temperature goes down below 0°C, heating efficiencies may decrease depending on the temperature conditions.
- If the indoor unit is out of the operating temperature and humidity range, the safery device may operate and the air conditioner may stops.
- If the indoor unit is installed in an IT room (for example, computer room), a separate back-up system must be installed, and the reliability of our product cannot be guaranteed at temperatures outside the operating temperature range.
Cleaning and Maintenance
