Hessaire Mini Split Remote Control Manual (2024)

FAQs

What do the symbols on my mini split remote mean? ›

The remote will show whether the unit is in Cool, Heat, Fan, or Dry/Dehumidify mode by displaying a symbol (icon) at the top of the remote display. Cool Mode: Snowflake symbol. Heat Mode: Sun symbol. Fan Mode: Fan symbol (circle with fan blades inside it) Dry/Dehumidification: Rain Drop symbol.

Dead or weak batteries are one of the most common reasons for remote control failure. Replace the batteries with new ones, ensuring they are correctly installed with the right polarity. Sometimes, even batteries that appear to have charge left can be too weak to send a strong signal to your mini split unit.

Mini split auto mode will allow your system to change fan speed based on the weather and your temperature setting. So, be sure to use auto mode, it's the best setting for mini split efficiency!

Standard Mini Split Controls

You're able to manually control the unit by turning it on or off, setting the thermostat (to cool or heat), and controlling the airspeed and vane direction. Some models may even feature timers and sensors that will promote better comfort and convenience.

Most units will have a snow flake or ice symbol for the COOL mode. This mode is used to cool the room and would typically be used during summer. The sun symbol represents HEAT mode. This is the opposite of the cool mode and is used to heat the room, usually during the cooler winter months.

Replace the batteries according to the polarity markings on the battery compartment. The air conditioner may not respond to remote commands even if the batteries have been inserted correctly. This could be due to dirt or clogging that is preventing the remote from working properly.

However, the most common reasons for a TV remote that is not working are battery issues, paring issues, or infrared sensor issues. Press the power button while pointing the remote control at your TV. Make sure the LED indicator on the TV blinks. If not, your remote does not have enough power remaining in the batteries.

A mini split can be left running 24/7 because the systems are designed specifically for non-stop use. In fact, keeping your mini split system running actually makes it more energy efficient and increases its ability to regulate temperatures with its internal temperature settings.

To unlock your AC remote control, you will need to locate the lock button on the remote and hold it down for a few seconds until the lock icon disappears. If you are still having trouble, refer to the user manual for your specific air conditioning unit or contact a professional for assistance.

What is the best temperature for a mini-split in summer? ›

A good operating temperature for those summer days when it's too hot to do anything but stay inside is around 78 degrees. Is that too warm for you? You can always try a temperature of around 74 to 76 degrees.

Go on autopilot

In addition, the system will choose the most efficient fan speed for optimal comfort and energy savings based on the conditions of the space. Taking advantage of your mini split's auto features will ensure you have the best user experience possible.

Mid-level mini splits run at 100 percent efficiency down to 20°F and typically require a base pan heater. These work well for heating moderate to cold climates. Economy-level mini splits run at 100 percent efficiency down to 30°F and may shut off at temperatures below 20°F.

There are typically four modes available. These modes are AUTO, DRY, COOL, and HEAT. AUTO mode is when the system automatically changes between HEAT and COOL modes. This means that it switches to HEAT when the temperature is low and to COOL when the temperature goes up a specific temperature.

Using AUTO CHANGEOVER on multi-zone applications could set an indoor unit to STANDBY mode, indicated with two dashes (--) on the display, which will turn off the indoor unit until all the indoor units are in the same mode (COOLING or HEATING). HEATING is the system's priority mode.

1. Cool mode (snowflake symbol) A snowflake represents your AC's cooling mode. As the name probably already suggests, the AC, in this mode, will work to bring the room's temperature down rapidly.

Temperature: When trying to achieve the perfect temperature for your room, take a look at the MODE button. Repeatedly click on this button until the sun icon appears for heat or the snowflake icon appears for cooling on the remote's screen and use the up-down arrows to adjust accordingly.
