QuattroClima review of conditioners: error codes, comparison of channel, cassette and floor and ceiling models

QuattroClima is a trademark originally from Italy, engaged in the production of climate systems since the 60s of the 20th century. The name and basic principles of the company are associated with the number 4 for a reason. Based on environmental friendliness, design, modern technology and reliability, the manufacturer develops high-quality equipment in Italy and manufactures in Asia to make the product affordable at cost. The main production facilities are located in China, where under strict quality control, Quattroclima products are produced, which replenish the markets of Europe, the CIS countries and the world with high-quality equipment. QuattroClima abandoned the production of mobile one-piece air conditioners: floor and window, but it also produces industrial cooling machines and other professional climate equipment.

The main line of air conditioners

The company produces climate systems for offices, warehouses and commercial premises. All products of the Gamma Commerciale line manufactured by the brand are divided into the following types: channel split systems, floor-ceiling and cassette split systems. QuattroClima offers universal outdoor units with scroll compressors (up to 10kW) and rotary (from 10kW) type. To such a unit, you can connect any, suitable for capacity, indoor unit for commercial use.

The type of refrigerant used in commercial split systems from Quattro Clima is R410. Modern refrigerant has a 50% higher efficiency, unlike its relative R22, longer operational properties - now refueling is much less common, and there is no prohibition on the use in the legislation of most countries.

Cassette Split System QuattroClima

Such air conditioners consist of two units: internal and external. Systems are installed in restaurants, halls, private homes - where it is required to cool a sufficiently large area. Indoor units are mounted in suspended ceilings, where there is at least 40 cm of free space between the concrete slab and the ceiling structure. An external unit is installed on the streets. A feature of these air conditioners is the four-stream air distribution, which is equivalent to several independent wall-mounted household split systems.

All such air conditioners are equipped with two remotes: remote QA-RWC and wired QA-RIA.

The remote control works at a distance of no more than 8 meters. The remote control is equipped with all the necessary keys to turn on / off the device, change the direction of the blinds, adjust the temperature and control other functions.

The wired remote control is equipped with the same functions, but it only integrates, as a rule, directly into the wall near the appliance. Management is carried out manually, using the keys on the panel, or using the remote control. With proper installation of the controller, paired with a remote control, you can significantly increase the air conditioning control area by sending a signal not to the device itself, but to the wall-mounted control panel.

All models of cassette air conditioners are equipped with the functions of heating, drainage, cooling, ventilation. There is a built-in timer, auto-restart, and adaptive fan speed.

The main advantage of such systems is the uniform distribution of chilled air over the entire area of ​​the room and an excellent combination with the interior. For maximum cooling, we recommend installing the cassette unit in the center of the room.

Channel split systems QuattroClima

Channel split systems provide air conditioning of several rooms at the same time. Such air conditioners consist of two units, where the indoor unit is located directly in the ventilation system, leaving only a fence net outside. To install such a device, you will need a separate duct system and false ceilings.

To control the system, the kit includes a remote QA-RWC and a wired QA-RIA remote, which can also be paired. Both controllers perform the same number of functions - they are completely interchangeable.

Installation of the air conditioner is not possible without the intervention of a specialist technician for ventilation and air ducts. Installation in each case is unique, and you will need to calculate the optimal installation location taking into account the number of mixing chambers, outlet openings, air intake direction and other nuances.

A feature of such air conditioners is the low noise of the indoor unit and minimal interference in the interior, due to the almost complete concealment of the suspended ceiling.

Floor and ceiling split systems QuattroClima

They are installed where there is no technical ability to get to the ventilation system or if there is none at all, and also where installation on the walls is impossible for some reasons. The system consists of two separate blocks. The indoor unit is mounted in the base of the upper or lower part of the premises - on the floor or ceiling. When installed on the ceiling, air circulates horizontally along the surface, and with floor mounting, circulation occurs strictly upward. All KvatroKlima models of floor-and-ceiling type have one air intake grid and one air duct with the function of automatic swinging of the blinds, for even better movement of the air flow.

Management is carried out by the remote or built-in panel: QA-RWC and QA-RIA. That is, there is full compatibility with cassette and channel air conditioners.

In general, the functionality differs little from all other types of commercial equipment and includes the following modes: cooling, heating, ventilation, drainage, auto, auto restart, and adaptive fan speed. An innovation was the Double Auto Shift mode, which improves air exchange by smoothly swinging the blinds. "Autorestart" is useful in the event of a blackout, so that the device will automatically work when the power supply is restored.

It is recommended to install such air conditioners in premises of office, restaurant or commercial type with a large area, as the noise level from such a “machine” is at least 60 dB.

Household climate split systems Gamma Residenziale

Household split systems consist of two units, and have gained wide popularity due to their relatively low price, ease of installation and small dimensions, with relatively good microclimatic performance in an air-conditioned room. Below are the modern Quattroclima ranges and their features.

Error Codes for QuattriClima Air Conditioners

All models of Quattro Clima split systems are equipped with self-diagnosis. Depending on the model, the error is displayed either on the display, or if it is absent, it is calculated by the number of flashes of indicator lights. Basically, error codes for air conditioners are divided into: sensor errors (F1-F5), care in defense, loss of communication with the unit or motor, malfunction of the control board. The following is a detailed description of the error codes and their designations.

The nature of the malfunction, as a rule, does not allow you to repair or configure the device yourself. In case of errors, it is recommended to contact the service center. To avoid loss of warranty and personal injury.

User reviews

With a relatively low cost, and an impressive list of useful functionality, the company has established itself well, and receives mostly positive reviews about its products. Below is a list of real user reviews, divided into two categories:

Positive reviews:

  • Ideal price / quality and convenient remote control;
  • Quietly working external and internal unit;
  • Energy efficiency class A;
  • Good design, imperceptibly fits into the interior;
  • Visually high-quality assembly.

Negative feedback:

  • Makes strange sounds. Over time, the speed stopped switching;
  • There is no clock on the remote control, so the timer can be set only in a certain interval;
  • The kit comes with bad, almost dead batteries, you need to buy new ones.

In general, with a negative color, air conditioning gets much less frequent, and more likely situational than mass.
