Loss or breakdown of the air conditioner control panel always causes a whole host of problems, because it is simply impossible to turn on the equipment without it. Agree, it is not always possible to select an original remote control for a specific air conditioner model, especially if the model is long outdated.
In this case, purchasing a universal control panel is almost the only way out of the situation. With its help, you can control any device using the air conditioner control codes specified in the instructions for the remote control. For proper remote control, you will need to configure the device to match your equipment model.
Setting up a universal remote control does not require special knowledge or skills, since it has a general algorithm. The rest of the article will provide detailed instructions that will allow you to quickly configure the remote control for a specific model.
How the universal remote control works
Externally, the universal remote control is completely no different from the original device for controlling the unit.
The plastic case is equipped with a small display that displays all the commands used. All buttons responsible for standard equipment functions are labeled in English words.
A high-quality remote control from a trusted manufacturer can work with more than 4,000 models of air conditioners, while inexpensive devices can work with 1,000 different split systems
The main feature of universal remote controls is the large number of installed infrared beam transmission frequencies, and each of them corresponds to a specific equipment model. You can find out whether a specific remote control is suitable for your climate control equipment from the product instructions.
Such a remote control allows you not only to turn the split system on and off, but also to regulate the direction of the air flow, the temperature of cooling and heating of the air.
In addition, almost any universal remote control for air conditioning has the following functions:
- HEAT – activates room heating functions up to 30 °C.
- COOL – turns on the command to cool the room to 18 °C, while the temperature indicator may vary depending on the device model.
- DRY – reduces the humidity level in a cooled room by reducing fan speed.
- FAN – adjusts the fan speed depending on the user’s needs.
- AUTO – turns on the automatic mode for maintaining the optimal indoor temperature.
Universal remote controls are low in cost, which cannot be said about buying an original remote control.
When choosing a more expensive model, you can be sure that such a universal remote control works with almost all branded models.
Unlike the original control device, the universal remote control will not be able to activate a function such as adding atmospheric air
All the so-called “bells and whistles” will be absent when operating with a universal remote control.
In this case, you can purchase a new original remote control, or choose a more suitable model of a universal device by consulting the service center employees.
How to connect a Huayu universal remote control to a TV: codes, instructions
“How to set up the Huayu universal remote control”? - an important question for users who have already purchased a device, but have not yet understood the essence of the work. Using such a gadget is convenient because you don’t need to get up to turn on the TV, air conditioner or other device. It is difficult to find free space on the coffee table due to the endless remote controls for each device. When there are too many of them, confusion can arise. Then the UE comes to the rescue, which alone can solve all switching problems. Read more about how to connect it in this article.
Instructions for setting up a universal remote control
Regardless of the model, all universal devices are configured according to the same principle, which consists of entering the required code into the remote control memory. Ideally, the remote control comes with instructions with a table of codes for different models of climate control equipment. The remote control is configured in two modes - automatic and manual.
Automatic mode is especially convenient if you do not know which model your air conditioner belongs to, or its name is simply not in the code table. In any case, the first thing you need to do is carefully study the instructions that came with the remote control.
Setting up the remote control manually
Some remotes can only be set up manually, which can take about 2 hours.
After you have studied the instructions, you will need to program the air conditioner yourself, manually selecting the codes written in the column of the manufacturer of your climate control equipment.
For each air conditioner manufacturer there are about 6 different codes that you have to manually enter to configure the universal device
Insert batteries into the remote control and turn it on by pressing the appropriate button. Next, the main operating modes of your climate control equipment should light up. You should also find the name of your equipment in advance in order to enter the appropriate code to configure the remote control.
Click on the “Select” , then enter the first code from the table indicated after the brand name. In this case, the code is entered using the number buttons on the remote control. Press “Select” again and confirm the action by pressing the “OK” button.
Next, you will need to check all operating modes of the air conditioner using the new remote control. If the basic functions do not work, then you should try entering the following code from the table. You may have to repeat this step several times until you find the code you want.
Automatic remote control setting mode
If the code for your split system is not in the table presented, then you should configure the device automatically.
This method differs from the previous one only in that you do not have to manually enter all the codes.
Before purchasing a universal remote control, be sure to make sure that in addition to manual mode, it also supports automatic code search
Point the remote control at the equipment so that it can receive all of its commands. Press and hold the “Select” button for 30 seconds. During this time, the device will go into automatic code search mode, sending commands and searching through all possible codes, starting from 0001.
After the remote control starts controlling the air conditioner, you will hear a characteristic signal coming from the air conditioning equipment. To stop the code scanning process, press any button on the remote control, then use the remote control to check whether all air conditioner commands are working.
If the remote control only partially controls your air conditioner without switching between operating modes, then you should start the code search process again. This will have to be done until the remote control controls the split system correctly.
The remote control stopped working after setting the code
Even after finding the correct code, a situation may arise that the remote control completely stops working. First of all, you should check whether the air conditioner is connected to the network.
If the air conditioner is turned on in the system and there have been no power failures, it is important to check if the code you set is correct.
A similar situation may arise due to a simple failure in the electrical network, which arose against the background of its overload with other electrical appliances in your home
If the remote control works, try setting the code to auto-search again or enter it yourself. And only if the remote control and air conditioner do not respond, the problem may be a breakdown of the climate control equipment.
Details about buttons and modes
- ON/OFF
Anyone who has ever held a piece of equipment in their hands knows this button. “ON/OFF” is responsible for turning the air conditioner on and off respectively. Press once to turn on the split system and press again to turn it off;
- MODE
The second most important button on the remote control is “MODE”. It is necessary to select the operating mode. The button works sequentially, i.e. after each press, one of the available modes is activated: automatic (AUTO), air cooling (COOL), air dehumidification (DRY), air heating (HEAT) and ventilation (FAN). Information about the selected mode is displayed on the control panel;
- F.COOL and F.HEAT
Quickly switches on cooling or heating mode respectively.
- FAN
If you have selected the ventilation mode using the “MODE” button, you can adjust the fan rotation speed. For this purpose, a separate button is located on the remote control body - “FAN”. The button works on the same principle as “MODE”, i.e. sequentially. Each press increases the speed, from automatic to low, medium and high;
- ┿/— or ▲/▼
Buttons designed to adjust various values, for example, increase/decrease temperature or timer time;
- SWING
A button designed to adjust the position of horizontal blinds located in the wall-mounted air conditioner unit. Blinds are necessary to regulate the direction of air flow. Press the button once for the guides to start moving. And press again so that they lock in their position;
- M.SWING
Another button designed to adjust the guides. But in this case they are adjusted not horizontally, but vertically. They are configured according to the same principle as in the case of “A.SWING” (see above);
- TIME ON and TIME OFF
These buttons are responsible for setting the timer for turning on and off the air conditioner, respectively. We talk about this mode of operation in detail in the article below.
