Review of Rix air conditioners: error codes, comparison of characteristics of mobile models

Rix is ​​a well-known Chinese brand, under whose name the latest types of climatic technology go on sale: split systems, central air conditioning units, heat guns, devices for humidifying or opposite to "drying" air, as well as purifiers. Among the main advantages that unite all product lines is a low price with decent quality and functionality. Rix split systems are popular with the modern consumer. Today this Ricks in its segment takes the second place in the world ranking.

Main lines of air conditioners

Mobile floor models - mobile air conditioners performing standard functions - cooling and heating. The devices are suitable for office or apartment use. They consist of a compact monoblock and a portable air outlet, necessary to remove heated air from the room to the outside. The length of the hose connected to the ventilation hatch ranges from 15m-2m. The hose is led out of the window, which may require pre-drilling holes in the frame. Compact models are extremely sociable. You can take them with you, going to the dacha, move from one room to another. Such devices are lightweight, easy to use, but not endowed with many functions. The compressor is not taken out of the room, because we are talking about a monoblock design. This explains the high noise level. The floor unit can be equipped with a condensate drain pan - this applies to models without a condensate drain hose. In this case, the moisture generated during operation will have to be removed independently by emptying the pallet. But the device acquires maximum compactness, there are no additional elements that take up space in the room.

Floor and ceiling systems suitable for cooling or heating rooms with an area of ​​15 sq.m. up to 60 sq.m. They do an excellent job of cooling and heating functions, as well as humidifying the air and cleaning it from dust (if additional functions are provided for a specific model). Operation within the office apartment.

Cassette and channel units Is a semi-production type equipment that is suitable for installation in shopping centers, cafes, restaurants, production halls, large technical rooms. The main advantage of the models is their high productivity. For installation, you must first install the stretch ceilings in the room. The unit in the form of a ventilation grill is mounted in the ceiling. Most often, there are several supply zones within the same room. Air flows can be directed to different directions (adjustable function). Also, cassette and duct devices can provide fresh air from the street. The power of the devices is different and ranges from 4kW-17kW.

Split systems Ricks - devices of a separate type, consisting of two blocks. One part of them is installed indoors, and the other - outside. So, a volumetric block containing a compressor, heat exchanger, fan and other elements is located outside the office or apartment. The room accommodates only a compact block, made in a designer style. It is mounted on the top of the wall, at a specified distance from the ceiling.A split system is a powerful equipment equipped with a set of not only basic, but also additional functions, including. These include cleaning the air from dust particles and removing odors, as well as regulating the level of humidity. Most models are equipped with a "fan" function - blowing without heating or cooling. Another advantage of multifunctional devices is the presence of a self-diagnosis function for malfunctions. Most models support automatic operation and timer operation. The remote control is used to control and configure the modes. The system can be selected both for cooling the air in the room to a comfortable level, and for heating. However, the use of such equipment as the main source of heat in frosty weather is irrational, especially in rooms with a large cubic capacity. This can lead to overwork and damage to the device. The reliable compressor of the Rix split system allows you to use the air conditioner for a long time without the need for repair with delivery to the service. Despite the rich functionality, the split system does not support the function of supplying fresh air from the street. Therefore, from time to time, the room should still be ventilated.

Window air conditioners - these are conservative models that, depending on the technical characteristics and power indicators, can be installed not only in an office or at home, but also in production. Production and semi-production models are suitable for air cooling in rooms with large cubic capacity. They are equipped with a wear-resistant filter that must be cleaned periodically. Installation is carried out directly into the window frame with the output of the block to the outside. The advantages of such devices include the function that allows you to "pump" fresh air from the street while purifying it. Moisture released during operation is easily removed through a special tube. Modern models work almost silently, their design is carefully worked out. There remains only one drawback of the window air conditioner - the large size, the need to allocate a part of the window for the installation of the unit. The power of the devices is high - 2-6 kW, which explains the high performance. Depending on the selected model, control is carried out manually or using a remote control.

Rix Console and Air Conditioners Instructions

Each device must be accompanied by a description of the main features and instructions. Using the remote control for the air conditioner, the user can:

• select the appropriate operating mode of the system - heating, cooling, ventilation (depending on the model);
• adjust parameters;
• enable or disable the timer;
• enable or disable additional features - humidify or remove excess moisture from the air;
• control air flows by changing their direction;
• turn the device on or off.

The remote control makes the use of the air conditioner even more comfortable. Indeed, with its help, you can control the operation of the system from anywhere in the office or apartment. At the same time, the distance from the location of the air conditioner itself, at which one can be at the time of control, is not the same.The range of action is different for different models and is spelled out by the manufacturer in the instruction manual.

Rix air conditioner error codes

Most modern device models are equipped with a self-diagnosis system for faults. Such a system automatically detects a breakdown, determines its type and displays air conditioner error codes on the display. This simplifies the wizard's work, speeding up the time it takes to make important decisions. Paying attention to the error code, it becomes clear whether a serious repair of the air conditioner will be required with sending it to a service center or the malfunction can be eliminated on the spot. Perhaps the compressor is faulty, or it is only worth replacing the filter for everything to continue full-fledged work. Each code corresponds to a separate malfunction. The master just needs to check the information with the available manual in order to draw up a plan for further actions.
