Fujitsu Ten Limited Wiring Diagram
Maranda
As title says, I am looking for a pin diagram for a non-hk fujitsu ten radio. I've been searching everywhere on the internet for it. Something that lists the complete pin information for every harness on the radio such as the attached pictures. At the very least pin information on where the backup camera wires are located, so I can splice into to retain after aftermarket head unit install, and the aux connection wiring as well. I will of course share my install details after installing to help any future people. Thanks guys much appreciated!
This PC-based tool helps customers with various applications, from designing systems to generating reports. The program's automatic selection feature makes it easier to determine indoor and outdoor units that suit your needs.
Furthermore, the diagrams for piping and wiring systems are automatically created for any refrigerant systems. Once your project is designed, you can easily get the materials lists, product specifications, refrigerant calculations, and more using the output feature.
I would put it in the more central location just to get better coverage. The mini splits without a remote sensor do tend to have some issues when heating, the way I look at it, is worry about how the room feels not what the set point is. If the set point needs to be a couple of degrees higher or lower, not a big deal. The Fujitsu has some hidden options for getting it to work with highly insulated houses which might also help.
The problem with dealing with it as you suggest, at least from what I've read, is that it's load dependent. That is, under certain conditions, 2 degrees higher will be right, but at other times it won't. I'd kind of like to set it and forget it.
The efficiency is directly related to the temperature of the inlet air. Lower inlet temp in heating equates to higher efficiencies and capacities.
Also, you want the unit to be serviceable for coil cleanings, excessively high mounts will make this tough job even more miserable.
Instead of a remote thermostat, you can install a remote room temp thermistor. It replaces the entering air sensor, and should be a fraction of the cost of the remote thermostat. They usually come in a kit with a plastic housing and decent length of wire with the connector pre-attached. Some units even have a jumper you can clip to allow the fan to cycle completely off once the heating/cooling demand is satisfied if using a remote sensor/thermostat. If it's running off the internal sensor, it needs constant airflow to sample the air temperature.
In regards to the location, the difference is only about 4 horizontal feet and it doesn't really bring any corners or obstacles into play. Intuitively, it seems like the 1 foot height difference is a bigger relative change than the 4 foot horizontal.
From my understanding, aftermarket IR controls with remote sensing don't change where the wall unit gets it's information from. Some of them have an internal formula for adjusting the setpoint on the wall unit higher than the displayed setpoint to accomodate the difference between what the wall unit is sensing and the remote thermostat is sensing. Units like the Sensibo just use the same IR sensor that the remote that comes with your unit does, so it has to have line of sight (or bounce off a wall, etc). I've never set one up, but I believe it's pretty simple. I would prefer the wired remote temperature sensor that changes where the wall unit gets it's information from.
The Sensibo unit is sold by Fujitsu as an official accessory. From what I can tell, it does have a temperature and humidity sensor on board. From other sources on here, it also seems like you can program the RLS3 to use an external temperature input, whether it's hard wired or wireless. So if, and I guess that's a big if, ALL of those things are true, it should theoretically work. I was actually hoping that the supplied remote had an on board sensor for purpose, but that was pie in the sky kind of wishful thinking.
That sounds good. Where do I get one of those and how do I ensure it's compatible? Does Fujitsu sell one? I found something called a "dry contact wire kit" from them, part number UTY-XWZXZ5. Wait, never mind that - found a description in the line brochure and it's for something else.
I found what I think is the OEM thermistor. I'm assuming I could just run wires to that in a remote location? Any additional resistance in the wires could be compensated for by calibration or just adjusting the set temperature.
I did a bit of digging, unfortunately the only remote sensor I could find (besides the thermostats) was for the ducted units. For Mitsubishi and LG mini splits you literally unplug the return air sensor and plug in the cable to the remote thermistor.
My 12RLF1 is mounted above a window and only has maybe 3" clearance to the ceiling. 1940s house so very limited options. Operates fine but temp sensing is not good, ours particularly bad because fridge cabinets creates a little alcove.
Sensibo does work pretty well if you want to move the temp sensor somewhere else, but within line of sight. Unfortunately this usually means within the path of airflow, distance limited by IR, and you need to plug in which is by the floor so you could have all sorts of obstructions/furniture, animals, humans etc. Not ideal but can work. You can set a boundary so if the temp at Sensibo falls below say 70, turn heat to 72 and high fan. If temp hits 74, turn to 72 and auto fan. Again, not ideal but does work pretty well. One quirk is that it uses Celsius so not accurate within a degree.
I ended up hardwiring their thermostat off of ebay Fujitsu UTY-RVNUM. Expensive. My head also needed a controller board which was difficult to install with terrible documentation as you know so I would recommend using a Fujitsu installer for that and fishing the cable yourself. Now it will sense wherever in the house you put the thermostat. A lot easier to change settings and for the most part it is set it and forget it.
Not sure why, but my unit won't kick in to high fan heat if it drops below the set point. So I do find myself changing fan speed from auto to high depending on overnight lows as my unit is more for AC and shoulder seasons.
It appears like the RLS3 series needs an interface kit to go with the hardwired remote. A lot of money for a feature that should be standard, IMO. I'm tempted to just have it installed without all this stuff, then figure out how to hook up a remote thermistor after the fact. Either find the part number of the thermistor and buy it, or measure the value and buy a generic replacement.
So in order to control the temperature of the Fujitsu, it sends a command to change the set point temperature? Like if the Fujitsu is set at 70F, but the Sensibo is measuring 66F, it will send a command to up the set point to 74F?
Correct but don't take the fujitsu set points literally as there is a wide variation from floor to ceiling, and Sensibo's sensor will most likely be different from Fujitsu. And Fujitsu has a 2 degree difference in setpoints. I'd let Sensibo monitor your temp for a day and then adjust accordingly.
Now that I have a Sensibo, I should clarify that this isn't exactly how it works. By default, all it does is exactly what the factory remote does, which is tell the indoor unit a set point on a schedule. The sensing and cycling is still done completely within the indoor unit. There is an additional feature called "Climate React", but it's not as smart or automatic as implied above. You can program in cut-in and cut-out set points; basically a crude IFTTT type control loop. Using this feature, I found that the mini split was cycling too often. It made more sense to just set the temp with the factory remote. I wouldn't recommend the Sensibo unless the only thing you want it for is controlling your mini split over the internet.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear- no third party implementation will be able to control how the minisplit modulates or cycles. What it will do is allow you to move the temperature sensing aspect to somewhere that makes more sense in the room, and not 8' high near the ceiling. It will allow for better temperature control, at the expense of cycling.
My Midea had dip switches on the indoor units board that could adjust the temperature sensor +2 +4 +6/ -2 -4 -6 degrees. Its a floor console unit that reads the temp 2 feet above the floor on the air intake. I set it +2 and it worked out perfectly. I think my Gree also has this setting.
