accessory 20´, 35´ or 50´ low-voltage wire harness, control
pad mounting plate and snap-in decorative cover to replace
the control pad at the unit. The mounting location must be
away from cold drafts, discharge air, outside walls, etc., be-
cause the room temperature sensor is mounted in the control
pad (dip switch #2 of 4 on front of control box must be "ON").
A wireless hand-held remote controller is also available as an
accessory, which allows control of the conditioner from any-
where in the room.

mode does not provide sufficient dehumidification. The com-
pressor and indoor low fan will cycle together and will operate

increase slightly.

"AUTO", "HIGH" or "LOW" while the unit is operating in
"HEAT", or "COOL" mode. "AUTO" gives high fan if unit set-

Continuous/Cycle Fan
When dip switch #8, located on the
front of the control box, is "OFF", the indoor fan will operate
continuously. When dip switch #8 is "ON", the indoor fan will
cycle on and off with the compressor or heater. In cycle fan,
the fan will start every 7 minutes to sample the room tempera-
ture. Fan will turn off again after 2 minutes unless heating or
cooling is required.
