V4 Plus R Series Codes

V4 VRF: Advanced 3-pipe technology enables heat recovery between indoor units for unprecedented economy and performance. It can simultaneously operate in cooling and heating mode when it is necessary to provide more freedom for operation. It compensates and adjusts when there are hot and cold rooms in the same building, depending on the direction of sunshine. As a result, it reduces annual power consumption.

  1. Dear All

    Currently working on Medea MDV vrf units. One of the condensing units keep going off and comes on by its self, meanwhile there is no fault code on the unit’s display board.
    Can you pls advice through the above emails

    Thanks
