(1) Thermal Zone function Controller
In Thermal ZFC, Temp. and Mode can be set for devices that can set temperatures registered in the Zone.

(2) Link menu

  • Edit
    Displays the Thermal ZFC configuration modal.

    NOTE: The Occupant user cannot change the settings in the Thermal ZFC configuration modal. In other words, the Thermal ZFC temperature range limit and ZFC Prohibition described later work only for the Occupant user.

(3) On/Off
Sets On/Off for all devices that can set temperature.

(4) Set the temperature setpoint.

NOTES:

  • Custom Auto:
    Set the set temperature for cooling and the set temperature for heating separately. During the Custom Auto mode operation, when the room temperature exceeds the set temperature for cooling, the cooling operation is performed, and when the room temperature falls below the set temperature for heating, the heating operation is performed. (It can be used only when the setting of the indoor unit compatible with this function is valid.)
  • The settable temperature range is different for each operation mode.
    Settable temperature range
    Cool/Dry* 18 to 30 °C (64 to 88 °F) or 20 to 30 °C (68 to 88 °F)
    Heat 10 to 30 °C (48 to 88 °F)
    Custom Auto Same as the above range, but there are temperatures that cannot be set due to the deadband.
    Auto* 18 to 30 °C (64 to 88 °F) or 20 to 30 °C (68 to 88 °F)
    The lower limit of the setting temperature is different depending on the place of use.
    The heating set temperature range of 10°C to 15°C (48°F to 58°F) may not be settable, depending on the indoor unit model.
  • Deadband:
    The deadband is the minimum value of the difference between the set temperature for cooling and the set temperature for heating (= cooling set temperature - heating set temperature) in Custom Auto mode.
    The difference between the set temperature for cooling and heating in Custom Auto mode cannot be smaller than the deadband. The deadband is set in the indoor unit. To change this, consult authorized service personnel.

  • When the temperature setting range is restricted by “Temperature Limit” setting of the indoor unit registered in Zone, the temperature setpoint setting range that can be set in "Zone Functions" is also restricted in the same way.
  • When two or more indoor units are registered in Zone, the temperature setpoint setting range by "Zone functions" is restricted by the smallest value of the upper temperature limit and the largest value of the lower temperature limit set by each indoor unit in "Temperature Limit".

(5) Set the operation mode.

NOTES:

  • When the operation mode is set while its setting is limited, it is not reflected in the indoor unit even if saved. If the changed setting is not reflected in the operation mode, confirm that the operation mode is active.
  • When the Wired Remote Controller (UTY-RNRUZx) is connected to VRF indoor unit registered in the Zone and the indoor unit is not set to Dual Setpoint Auto, either this Thermal ZFC or the Wired Remote Controller, whichever is operated later, can execute Auto mode.

(6) Ventilation Zone function Controller
In Ventilation ZFC, Airflow, Temp. and Mode can be set for devices that can set the ventilation registered in the Zone.

(7) Link menu

  • Edit
    Displays the Ventilation ZFC configuration modal.

    The Occupant user cannot change the settings in the Ventilation ZFC configuration modal. In other words, the airflow range limit and temperature range limit of Ventilation ZFC and ZFC Prohibition described later work only for the Occupant user.

"Thermal" window

(a) Setpoint
Sets the setpoint for each operation mode (Heat, Cool, Dry, Auto Heat, Auto Cool, Auto Single Setpoint).

NOTE:  When the operation mode is changed in Thermal ZFC, the Setpoint corresponding to the changed operation mode is read into the ZFC.  In addition, the Setpoint which has been set is reflected to devices that can set temperature registered in the Zone according to the current operation mode of Thermal ZFC.

(b) Setpoint Limits
Sets the Setpoint Limits for each operation mode.

NOTES:

  • When the operation mode is changed in Thermal ZFC, the limit value corresponding to the changed operation mode is read into the Thermal ZFC.  In addition, the Setpoint Limits which have been set are reflected to devices and  limit the Setpoint according to the current operation mode of Thermal ZFC.
  • When other VRF central control devices such as Touch Panel Controller (UTY-DTGYZ1), and System Controller (UTY-APGXZ1), etc. are in the VRF system, the functions may conflict. In such cases, do not limit the temperature range from other devices.

(c) Deadband
Sets the Deadband value when the operation mode is Auto and Dual Setpoint is selected. For details, refer to "Set the temperature setpoint.".  

(d) Deadband lower limit
Sets the lower limit value of Deadband. This lower limit value depends on the Deadband set value of indoor unit.  

(e) Deadband upper limit
Sets the upper limit value of Deadband.

(f) Auto Setpoint Control
Switches the Setpoint control method when the operation mode is Auto.  

  • Single Setpoint
    This can be selected if all devices that can set temperature registered in the Zone are Single Setpoint functions. Setpoint at Auto operates by Single Setpoint.  
  • Dual Setpoint
    This is selected by default. When this is selected, Setpoint at Auto operates by Dual Setpoint regardless of the Dual/Single function setting of the device that can set temperature registered in the Zone.

    NOTE: When Single setpoint is selected, only Auto single setpoint is displayed at Setpoint and Setpoint Limits
    When Dual setpoint is selected, Auto Cool and Auto Heat are displayed at Setpoint and Setpoint Limits.

(g) ZFC Prohibition
Limits ZFC operations.

(h) ZFC Control
Sets Enable/Disable for the operation of the Thermal ZFC itself.  When Disable is selected, "DISABLED" is displayed at Thermal ZFC.

  • When Enable is selected, as described at (4) and (5), Thermal ZFC controls the temperature settings of devices that can set temperatures registered in the Zone to be set to the Thermal ZFC setting.  In addition, (a) to (f) settings are reflected to the Thermal ZFC operations.  
  • When Disable is selected, Thermal ZFC does not control the temperature settings of devices that can set temperatures registered in the Zone to be set to the Thermal ZFC setting. In addition, (a) to (f) settings are not reflected to the Thermal ZFC operations.  

(i) [CLOSE] button

  • When Disable is selected, Ventilation ZFC does not control the ventilation settings of devices that can set ventilations registered in the Zone to be set to the Ventilation ZFC setting. In addition, (a) to (f) settings are not reflected to the Ventilation ZFC operations.
