JAX Air Conditioners Overview: Error Codes, Model Feature Comparison

JAX Hi-Tech Equipment & Engineering - country of origin Australia. The company produces refrigerators, ducted air conditioners, household and industrial climate equipment. It has its own research center where innovative solutions are developed and new models of split systems, floor-ceiling, wall, duct, cassette and mobile air conditioners are created.

Series of air conditioners and their differences

JAX company produces several series of household split systems, floor and window monoblock air conditioners. They differ significantly in their technical capabilities, functionality and technology.

ACN Series (NEO)

In this series, jax split systems, there are six models that differ only in power and size of the optimal service area. This series is positioned as a budget, has minimal functionality and a standard set of operating modes. Its main advantage is affordable cost. Recommended for use in office premises, where noise from the external and internal units will not be so noticeable.

ACI Series (NEO PLUS)

It includes only three models. The main difference from the previous series is the use of inverter technology in these split systems JAX. This gives significant advantages over conventional models:

  • in energy saving;
  • the silence of work;
  • equipment durability;
  • The set temperature is maintained more accurately and smoothly.

However, many users and sellers do not recommend installing inverter split systems in rooms of a small area, since frequent activation of the air conditioner will negate all the savings. Considering that the model range of the ACI series is quite limited and contains precisely low-power devices, only the ACI 20HE model is suitable for efficient operation.

ACE Series (Elegance)

ACE indoor units are positioned as more aesthetic, do not spoil the interior of the room, have a reduced noise level and somewhat advanced functionality, such as:

  • device activation programming;
  • auto cleaning system;
  • self-diagnosis system;
  • function to maintain a comfortable temperature, etc.

This series has a wide variety of models. However, according to reviews, outdoor units tend to vibrate during active use.

ACK Series (Kangaroo)

Jax ACE conditioners are more functional. It is worth noting a large number of operating modes:

  • drainage;
  • ionization;
  • sleeping mode;
  • auto mode.

The functions of the control system are also significantly expanded:

  • setting the position of the blinds (8 positions);
  • blowing;
  • turbo mode;
  • Extensive programming capabilities for inclusion and operation.

ACW Series (Whisper)

Represents several models of one-piece window air conditioner. Devices are significantly limited in power. They are recommended for servicing small rooms. In addition, when they work, inevitably there are vibrations transmitted to the window and glass units.

ACM Series (Mobile)

The series is represented by several models of mobile air conditioners JAX ACM 14/12/09 BHE. Devices can serve rooms from 18 to 45 m2. There are all functions: heating, cooling, drainage, ventilation. The switching of modes is carried out both from the remote control and from the panel of the air conditioner. A corrugated hose, an adapter and a plug on the window for removing heat flow are supplied.

Comparison of the characteristics of popular models

Parameter / Model 07 HE 12 HE 14HE 24HE
Cooling / Heat Performance 7500/8120 11500/1200 13500/14000 24000/24000
Optimal service area (m2) 18-22 30-34 30-36 65-71
The noise level of the indoor unit (dB) 37 37 40 42
Max airflow (m3/hour) 420 550 600 1000
Power consumption cooling / heating (kW) 0,66/0,64 3,4/3,5 3,6/3,8 7,1/7,4

In addition, there are certain characteristics that are common to almost all models of jax air conditioners, this availability:

  • self-diagnosis system and automatic protection;
  • automated restart functions;
  • drainage and ionization function;
  • 4-knee heat exchanger with anti-corrosion body and aluminum fins;
  • the presence of a dustproof system;
  • the presence of an auto cleaning system;
  • air purification is carried out through a three-in-one multi filter, a biofilter, a carbon filter.

All air conditioners presented are environmentally friendly and use r410a freon, which does not contain chlorine.

Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners JAX

The functionality of most models of split systems, stationary, floor and mobile air conditioners Jax ACL and ACM are generally similar. The remote control is a universal device with the same arrangement of switching buttons. Functionality varies by device model.

A description of the operation modes of the air conditioners and the control of their switching are attached below in the manual pages for the remote control.

When the function of maintaining a comfortable temperature is activated, jax air conditioners will focus on the temperature sensor located in the remote control. Therefore, the remote control is not recommended to be placed in places that are exposed to temperature.

Jax conditioner error codes

Error codes for jax air conditioners have a fairly limited information content. Particular attention must be paid to the control panel indicators. If they begin to flash at a speed of approximately 5 times per second, then immediately disconnect the air conditioner from the power supply system. After waiting 2-3 minutes, turn off the device again. The causes of the error may include

In most cases, malfunctions that occur during operation of the indoor and outdoor units require specialist intervention. Attempts to fix them yourself can lead to even greater breakdowns, and as a result, significantly increased repair costs. However, before calling the wizard, it is recommended to change the batteries in the control panel, turn off the air conditioner for several minutes and turn it on again by restarting the system.

User reviews

Jax company appeared on the Russian market of HVAC equipment relatively recently, but quickly gained a niche and now its products are positioned as high-quality products with a decent set of functional capabilities at an affordable price. As experience shows, the advantages of jax air conditioners are quite similar for all lineups: ELEGANCE; KANGAROO; NEO:

  • Reasonable price in comparison with models of well-known manufacturers with comparable technical characteristics;
  • Fairly high quality products and reliable design;
  • Wide functionality, fully consistent with the declared manufacturer;

However, some users make certain comments. For example, the external design of some budget models leaves much to be desired, which does not affect their operational characteristics. Plastic on some products turns yellow quite quickly if they are installed in places of intense sunlight. The external blocks of some models, when turned on, turned off and work on heating, give a fairly large vibration. As the representatives of the manufacturer’s company explained, this effect is a consequence of minor errors made during the installation of the device. To prevent shock vibration of the external unit, it is recommended to install it on special rubber damper washers.

The reviews and overall impression of JAX Hi-Tech Equipment & Engineering products are very positive.This is an inexpensive, but functional and reliable climatic equipment that will perform its tasks well. It can be used in a private home, office, or a small store.
