Samsung comfort control features
The following Samsung comfort control features are activated when SEG23, the MDS Kit installation option of the indoor unit, is set to the Premium mode. For more information about the MDS Kit installation option, see Setting the MDS Kit installation option on page 7.
- Indirect Flow: When the MDS Kit detects motion, it moves the air flow blades to prevent the breeze from blowing directly toward the specified areas (locations where humans are).
- Direct Flow: When the MDS Kit detects motion, it moves the air flow blades to send the breeze directly toward the specified areas (locations where humans are).
- Comfort Temperature: When the temperature difference between the upper part and lower part of a room is significant, the MDS Kit moves down the air flow blades to mix airs and consequently to reduce the temperature difference.
- Comfort Saving: The MDS Kit detects motion in the room and controls the set temperature (up to the amount of +2°C for cooling, -2°C for heating) to reduce electricity consumption.
Operation troubleshooting
- If the MDS Kit has a connection problem or malfunction, the MDS Kit error E143 is indicated on both the panel display and the wired remote control.
- Although the MDS Kit error occurs, the indoor and outdoor units normally operate without the MDS Kit functions.
- If the MDS Kit error persists, check the wire connection and contact a service center.
