Overview of the PANASONIC range of air conditioners and instructions for them

The PANASONIC brand embodies the best ideas for life in air conditioners for domestic, semi-industrial and industrial use, which have high build quality, versatility, excellent performance and thoughtful design.

Creating universal climatic equipment, the manufacturing company uses advanced technical and engineering solutions, which accordingly makes it in demand on the equipment market.

Split systems PANASONIC

Two-component PANASONIC systems are represented by both inverter air conditioners and conventional ones. They can be installed in residential and office buildings or small shops.

Wall mounted air conditioners

The range of wall splitters consists of several lines in various standard sizes. The main interest is the CS-series of PANASONIC air conditioners, which includes models with standard and inverter compressor control.

Non-inverter appliances such as STANDART and DELUXE are simple climatic technology with the necessary set of functions for air conditioning. There is nothing superfluous in it. To the standard modes "cold" and "warm" are added:

• automatic switching of modes;
• humidity level control;
• the ability to control the air flow;
• timer for 12 hours;
• antibacterial filter and ionic cleaning system.

In addition, the front panel can be easily removed from the indoor unit for cleaning. The capacity is sufficient for cooling and heating living quarters. Their operation is practically silent, since the maximum values ​​of the sound level do not exceed 30 dB, and the minimum are only 22 dB.

PANASONIC INVERTER air conditioners of the CS series have the following distinctive features:

• work in a more economical power consumption mode;
• accelerated exit to the set temperature values;
• more precise control of the set parameters.

The motion sensor allows you to create favorable conditions at the point in the room where the person moves. By pressing one button, you can switch the PANASONIC INVERTER air conditioner to silent mode and reduce the sound by 2-3 dB. So that at the beginning of work there is no unpleasant smell of plastic mixed with dust, the function of its elimination is activated. Before the fan starts up, the bacteria inside the unit are destroyed, which are the source of the "odors". The hot start function will quickly warm up the room and warm up the heat exchanger of the indoor unit of the inverter.

The protective corrosion-resistant coating of the condenser will increase the operating life, and the presence of self-diagnostics in PANASONIC INVERTER makes air conditioners of this type more reliable, preventing serious breakdowns.

Also, PANASONIC air conditioners in some models of the CS series have an increased length of the route. This provides an exceptional opportunity to host the plug-in. A carbon filter with a deodorizing effect not only absorbs dust, tobacco smoke and unpleasant odors, but also traps animal hair.

This filter is changed every three years.During operation, it must be cleaned at least a couple of times per season, and to restore its deodorizing properties, it is placed in the sun for half a day.

As for the prices for the CS series of PANASONIC air conditioners, there are many options. Simple models without inverter control and a large set of additional functions will cost the buyer at least several thousand cheaper. They will work well and last a long time, but they don't have a lot of smart electronics like touch sensors. And PANASONIC inverter air conditioners with maximum functionality will always be more expensive. But repairs in the event of a breakdown will also cost more.

Duct air conditioners

The ideal solution for an area from 50 to 135 m² in the absence of the possibility of placing devices on the wall will be the universal channel PANASONIC air conditioner, which can be inverter or conventional. This brand has a lot of features both in terms of the technical characteristics of air conditioners and their functional features.

Firstly, these devices are characterized by economical air conditioning in terms of power consumption and quiet fan rotation. Secondly, PANASONIC duct air conditioners can operate in the cold at an outside temperature of -10 ° C, which is not always necessary in residential areas, but is in demand in shops and warehouses. Thirdly, the equipment of this brand is equipped with functions that increase the service life and allow you to create a comfortable microclimate. It:

• automatic restart of the system with sequential switching on of its components after power outages;
• work in the most suitable mode due to automatic switching;
• soft dehumidification with cooling at the beginning;
• hot start control, which first heats up the heat exchanger;
• self-diagnosis of malfunctions;
• daily and weekly timers for turning on and off the system.

Also at PANASONIC all duct air conditioners are equipped with good multi-stage filters that absorb odor and retain all harmful particles and microorganisms.

Another plus of channel splits is the possibility of mixing air from the street. To do this, when laying the system, an air supply unit is mounted and air ducts are laid. This unit supplies air to the supply adapter of the air conditioner.

Cassette air conditioners

At PANASONIC, predominantly all cassette air conditioners have inverter compressor control, which leads to low energy costs. The advanced turbofan is extremely quiet while producing powerful air currents that are distributed in one or more directions, depending on the settings.

PANASONIC cassette air conditioners have a fairly large power range. They provide precise temperature control, step-by-step air purification, gentle dry cooling and non-stop operation. This system can operate in cold weather at a temperature outside the window of -10 ° C.

The main advantage is the ability to disguise the device and communications in a suspended ceiling structure, leaving only the distribution panel in sight.

For apartments, cottages, offices, hotels and administrative premises with an area of ​​20 to 140 m², cassette air conditioners will be the ideal option.

Column, floor-ceiling, mobile and window air conditioners

The PANASONIC trade mark also produces column and floor-to-ceiling split systems. Window blocks belong to a separate category. They are not split systems, since all the constituent components are located in one device - a monoblock.

The only drawback of window air conditioners is higher energy consumption compared to split systems.

Multi-split systems

The multi-split system from PANASONIC with the ability to connect an outdoor module with 2-5 indoor devices of different types can be installed in residential buildings and semi-industrial premises with an area of ​​up to 150 m². Installation of multi-splits is also justified in cases where there is a ban on changing the appearance of the facade of an architectural object.

All multi-splits of this brand have an inverter control type.

Indoor units of PANASONIC multi-splits have an optimal combination of technical characteristics in the field of energy saving and are equipped with very convenient functions and systems, namely:

• disinfecting and deodorizing filters;
• control of air flows at different angle of inclination of the blinds;
• automatic change of modes;
• daily and weekly time programming;
• hot start and its management;
• flexible installation system;
• mode with low noise level;
• convenient removable panels.

Outdoor units are distinguished by smooth power regulation, single-phase connection and energy saving up to 40%. The length of the connecting line between the indoor and outdoor modules can be up to 30 m, the total length of the route is up to 80 m, the maximum height difference is up to 15 m.

Another feature is the elimination of dust and dirt in multi-split systems by means of ultrasonic treatment, which helps to clean the air twice as fast. This is achieved thanks to a generator built into the external unit.

The blocks of such a component system are universal, so you can create a lot of combinations that suit one or another technical planning.

Multi-zone systems

For the air conditioning of multi-room buildings, VRF systems or VRF-mini are used with huge total power indicators of external units and the ability to connect dozens of indoor modules to one external component.

The described brand has a whole series of ozone-safe ECOi air conditioning systems, which, with high efficiency, minimizes energy resources and functions for heat even at -25 ° C outside. Increased external static pressure, wide power range, route length up to 1000 m, the possibility of subsequent modernization and corrosion protection are the main advantages of this system. In some models there is a recuperator, which allows to further reduce consumer indicators for electricity.

Indoor units can vary in type and capacity, as well as work completely asynchronously and without dependence on each other's settings.

Instructions for air conditioners and PANASONIC consoles

Each PANASONIC air conditioner model has its own operating manual, which also includes instructions for the control panel and installation instructions for a team of professional installers. These sections contain the necessary information on the settings of all modes and functions, technical characteristics of PANASONIC air conditioners, recommendations for operation, installation and preparation for it.

Before using any device of this company, you must familiarize yourself with all the rules.The main section of the user, subject to mandatory study, is the manual for the PANASONIC air conditioner remote control, which deciphers the purpose of all buttons and describes how to select one or another program. With it, you can learn how to turn on the dehumidification mode, find out the outside temperature, set the quiet mode, and so on.

The remote control itself is quite informative and intuitive, but if there are difficulties with how to set up the PANASONIC air conditioner for heat, for example, it is worth referring to the operation manual. It says that first the device itself is turned on, then the MODE button is pressed, the "sun" icon is displayed on the display, then the HEAT button is pressed and the temperature is selected with the arrow keys. Some models may have different symbols, for example, arrows are replaced by plus and minus signs. In any case, setting the PANASONIC air conditioner to heat or another mode will not cause any difficulties.

Some users have a question of what to do if the PANASONIC inverter air conditioner has turned off and the timer light is flashing or, in another way, the timer indicator. Usually it gives a signal about some kind of malfunction of the device. To find out the reason, you need to switch the remote control to read error codes. How it's done?

As soon as the PANASONIC air conditioner is switched off and the timer lamp flashes, the up arrow key corresponding to the timer setting is immediately pressed. So they stand for 5 seconds, then with the same button they scroll through the error codes until the sound signal and look at the decryption in the service manual.

There are no error codes in the instructions for the PANASONIC air conditioner remote control, therefore, if you have any difficulties finding them, contact your authorized dealer or service department.

There is another easy way to fix this problem. You can de-energize the system and then turn it on again. If the timer lamp of the PANASONIC air conditioner continues to flash, then you should find the error code, as described above.

Installation of PANASONIC air conditioners

Uninterrupted operation of climatic equipment will be ensured by professional installation. The most correct option is to buy a PANASONIC air conditioner with its installation by a team of qualified specialists who will subsequently carry out regular maintenance of the equipment and, if necessary, repair it.

Only experienced installers will be able to accurately fix the devices at their location, use the electrical diagrams, the installation instructions for the PANASONIC air conditioner correctly, start the system into operation and observe safety precautions. Interaction with professionals is a guarantee that money is well spent.

In addition, there are several more significant advantages that speak in favor of buying an air conditioner with installation, namely:

• discounts for 10-15% of the total cost;
• saving the buyer's time;
• guarantees for the work carried out.

Usually the price of a PANASONIC air conditioner with installation depends on the technical parameters of the device itself and its location. From this, the number of consumables and the complexity of the work carried out will be calculated, and, therefore, the total amount will be determined.

The customer must provide the craftsmen with all the technical documentation included in the kit, since during installation they will need instructions for installing the PANASONIC air conditioner to familiarize themselves with the features of a particular device model.

Repair of air conditioners PANASONIC

Most often, household models of climatic equipment fail. One of the most expensive breakdowns in air conditioners, including PANASONIC, is a compressor, which can have several causes of malfunction:

• destruction of bearings;
• breakage of the output in the starting capacitor;
• crankshaft defect;
• breakage of the compressor motor windings.

In most cases, the compressor of the PANASONIC air conditioner is simply replaced with a new one.If the breakdown is not so significant, for example, the lack of starting current due to an open thermal protection relay, then other parts are changed. In this case, the relay must be replaced.

If the service life is already very long, then the repair or replacement of the compressor of the PANASONIC air conditioner may be simply unprofitable. In such cases, replace the old device with a new one.

In addition to the compressor, the outdoor unit heat exchanger, filtration system, microprocessor, 4-way valve and other internal components can fail. Any breakdown can be caused by both mechanical and electrical defects.

You cannot try to fix the air conditioner yourself. To do this, a specialist is called in who makes diagnostics and repairs either on site or in a service workshop.

Reviews about air conditioners PANASONIC

Buyers in 90% of cases leave positive reviews about PANASONIC air conditioners and consider them a good purchase for the offered price. They maintain standard modes perfectly, reach the set temperature marks quickly, handle the air well and do not create drafts.

Of course, the PANASONIC inverter air conditioner has gained great popularity, which, judging by the opinions of people, works more economically, makes less noise, does not rattle, does not vibrate and breaks down much less often. Positive characteristics are obtained by devices not only of Japanese or Malaysian assembly, but also of Chinese production.

Among the negative reviews about PANASONIC air conditioners, in most cases, there is dissatisfaction associated with the lack of buttons on the indoor unit and an inconvenient remote control for simple models. This can be attributed to disadvantages that are not so significant, since they do not affect the quality of the device and its service life.
