Remote Control - Friedrich Kuhl KCS12B10A Service Manual

Remote Control

Remote Control - Refer to Figure 344 during operation description.
Getting Started - Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery compartment located on the
back of the unit.
Operation - The remote control should be within 25 feet of the air conditioner for operation
(refer to Figure 345 for effectiveness). Press the power button to turn the remote on. The
remote will automatically power off after 15 seconds if the buttons are not being pressed.
The remote must be on to control the unit.
POWER Button - Turns remote and unit on and off.
MODE Button - Allows the user to sequentially select the following: AUTO, COOL, HEAT,
and FAN ONLY operations. When the button is pressed, the display indicates which mode
has been selected via a display message. Note that when the heating function is not
available, the system will automatically skip the HEAT mode.
FAN Button - Selects between automatic (AUTO FAN) or CONTINUOUS operation. In the
AUTO FAN mode, the fan only turns on and off when the compressor operates or the heat
function is enabled.
NOTE: AUTO FAN is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display indicates
CONTINUOUS. In the CONTINUOUS mode, fan speed is determined by your
selection on the FAN SPEED button.
SPEED Button - Used to sequentially select new fan speed, plus AUTO operation.
When the FAN SPEED button is pressed, the fan speed icon (triangle) changes to indicate
the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies depending on the set temperature
on the control panel and the actual room temperature. For example, if there is a big
difference between your set temperature and the actual room temperature, the system
fan speed increases to HIGH. It remains at this speed until the room temperature
matches the set temperature.
UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either the UP or DOWN button changes the desired
room temperature. The factory preset lower and upper limits are 60 °F (16 °C) and
99 °F (37 °C). These buttons are also used to navigate between function options when
using the User Menu or Maintenance Mode.
Remote Effectiveness
Handheld Remote - Has an operating range of up to 25 ft.
The infrared remote control signal must have a clear path
to transmit the command to the air conditioning unit. The
remote signal has some ability to "bounce" off of walls and
furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram
below shows the typical operating range of the control in a
standard room with 8 ft high ceilings.
