MHIAE adds RC-ES1 commercial AC remote controller

UK: The RC-ES1 is the newest addition to the range of wired remote controls for commercial air conditioners from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe (MHIAE).

This latest model expands the company’s wired remote-control line-up to four distinct options. 

The compact design of the RC-ES1 creates a unit measuring 86mm high x 86mm wide x 17mm deep. 

Using Bluetooth technology, the RC-ES1 connects with smartphones via the M-Air Pro app. This offers three distinct modes – user, administrator, and service – catering to various operational needs, from basic remote-control functions to advanced data saving, transferring, and inspection. 

With its black exterior, the RC-ES1 features five touch-buttons for effortless navigation and control, along with a main display for clear, at-a-glance information. According to MHIAE, the intuitive pictograms on the user interface make it simple for anyone to operate.

One of the key features of the controller is its ease of installation. Configuration data for indoor units can be exported from the remote control to a smartphone and easily applied to other units, streamlining the setup process. 

In the event of an error, operation data can be saved for further analysis. Additionally, access to advanced data enables enhanced diagnostics, ensuring efficient and effective solutions.

The M-Air Pro app allows for the automatic and continuous transmission of settings to up to 20 remote control units. This capability significantly enhances convenience and efficiency, making it an ideal solution for large commercial spaces.

The RC-ES1 also includes a function to monitor power consumption for each operation mode, helping users optimise energy usage.
