BETA-1
The Beta-1 is a simple solution for mini-split system air conditioners.
It uses the remote control that came with your mini-split air conditioner to "learn" how to change the setpoints on the mini-split. Almost all brands of mini-split units can be controlled by the Beta-1. Once the Beta-1 has learned the signals from your remote control, it will automatically change the setpoint on the mini-split to two distinct day and night temperatures. It does this AUTOMATICALLY using a small IR (infrared) emitter that will send the same signal to the mini-split, as the remote control normally would.
The remote control learning process takes about 5 minutes. Once the remote control programming is complete, the user simply selects the day and night temperature settings they wish to use on the Beta-1 control panel. An integrated photocell/light sensor will determine whether it is day or night. The Beta-1 will then activate (send a signal to the mini-split unit) to reach the correct temperature setpoint based on the state of the photocell.
The Beta-1 unit can be mounted anywhere within the area to be controlled as long as the unit is positioned so that the photocell on the front of the Beta-1 receives enough light to detect daylight. The IR emitter is then mounted so that it has a direct line of sight to the indoor unit of the mini-split in order to send the IR signal to the mini-split unit.
The Beta-1's temperature sensor provides a clear reading of the current temperature inside the controlled area, as well as the current temperature setting selected. The temperature sensor will also constantly monitor and return the IR signal to the mini-split if the Beta-1 does not detect a change in temperature.
The Beta-1 can be set to cool only, heat only, or cool AND heat depending on the capabilities of the mini-split unit. The Beta-1 is easy to use, reliable, and effective in providing distinct day and night temperature settings for your mini-split air conditioner.
