PACi, ECOi AND ECO G. INDIVIDUAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

PACi  INDIVIDUAL CONTROL SYSTEMS + ECONAVY

Panasonic increase efficiency by 28% and increase the comfort

Easy to use, attractive, clear design, with new demand control functions and energy consumption display! This useful feature makes this remote control unique!
 
Design
The new CZ-RTC3 wired remote control is ideal for integration into the most demanding interior architectures.
The touch panel  features a very sleek and easy to use display, which with its compact display is only 120mm x 120mm x 16mm.

Display of information
The information is mainly based on pictograms to ensure easy understanding.
The minimal amount of text is available in 4 languages (English / German / French / Spanish / Italian).
The screen is back lit to enable reading even during the night.
Easy Access to the menus
With the new pictograms, the navigation, the selection and the settings are simple and easy to follow.

Key Functions
  • Easy setup of the timer and settings of the indoor unit
  • Energy consumption display (only available with PACi units with the reference ending with A)
  • Limitation of the energy consumption (Demand control) by timer
 
New Econavi Sensor
The all new Econavi Sensor detects presence in the room, and quietly adapts the PACi or VRF air conditioning system in order to improve comfort and maximise energy savings.
  • Detects human activity and adjusts temperature by 2 degrees (up or down) to optimize comfort and efficiency
  • If there is no activity detected for a set time, the Econavi will stop the unit or move to a new temperature previously set
  • The Econavi device is installed independently of the indoor unit, and is located in the area best suited for detection
Applications
Saving Energy for Offices: if the air conditioning is left on after the last employee leaves the office, Econavi will automatically react, reducing or stopping the system.
Increased comfort in hotel rooms: when presence is detected in the room, the temperature is automatically adjusted to achieve best comfort.

Econavi function
  • Analyses room activity: Human activities and human heat
  • Modifies the capacity to adapt in real-time to the needs of the room
 
Key points
· Compatible with Cassette, Wall Mounted, Hide Away and Ceiling · Sensor · Improves efficiency · Better Comfort · Can be installed in the best place of the room for detection purposes.
Available in October 2014.

Centralised Control Systems

 
NEW Centralised Control Systems
A custom web application to manage the centralized operation of A2W and GHP systems. Operation and monitoring of devices connected to the new Management System can be realized both remotely/locally from any device with connection to the internet (Laptop, Tablet, Mobile) The new system will make the interaction with air conditioning systems easier, improving the operation set as well as the global control of installations. The application will act with various units, regardless of whether they are available in the same intranet or in different locations, transparently to users at any time. In this way, our solution allows to overcome main restrictions like onsite maintenance or the lack of centralization. In addition, the application offers significant improvements in terms of control:
  • Aircon units can be grouped in a totally custom way
  • Possibility to realize group commands and batch commands (in succession)
  • Alarms and events can be controlled more efficiently and a lot more…
 
Features of current system  Operation Functions
  • Start & Stop
  • Temperature settings
  • Operation mode selection
  • Fan speed, Fan direction settings
  • Prohibition of use of remote controller
