Review of Hyundai air conditioners: error codes, comparison of mobile models and split systems

The launch of Hyundai equipment from the HVAC sector started back in 1982. As at the beginning of the journey, and now all the production facilities of the company are based on the territory of South Korea. Since 1997, the manufacturer has been confidently conquering the Russian HVAC market, and since 2002, European countries.

The brand specializes in the manufacture and release of:

• climatic equipment;
• heating and ventilation systems;
• devices for air conditioning at objects of various categories.

The experience accumulated over more than 20 years allows the manufacturer to reduce the rejection rates of products to almost zero, and, therefore, to ensure a stable demand for the manufactured goods. Air conditioners of the HYUNDAI brand have won the well-deserved trust of buyers in South Korea itself, and then around the world.

In Russia, the brand is represented by Hyundai Climat Russia, which is the official distributor of the South Korean manufacturer. The brand positions itself as elite category goods that surpass analogues in quality and technical characteristics. In general, in Russia and on the territory of the former CIS countries, both climatic equipment of this brand and other equipment, including several types of radiators, as well as construction tools and accessories, are popular.

Main lines of air conditioners and products

The range of products includes almost all possible types of modern climatic equipment. This allows the company's clients to choose the exact model of the air conditioner that is ideal depending on the area, technical features of buildings and other requirements for the purchased device. Today "Hyundai" is pleased to present the following categories of branded goods to the consumer:

1. Household split systems, made in various versions of several series, including air conditioners with inverter compressor control.
2. Cassette installations with increased power for large-area objects.
3. Duct split systems for semi-industrial use.
4. Ceiling-floor air conditioners for residential and office premises.
5. Industrial climatic systems.

All models from the industrial series in the entire range are supplied to the Russian market. Depending on the needs, the buyer can choose a device of various powers for home use, ranging from 2000 to 10000 W.

Thanks to the latest developments of the engineering group of the company, it was possible to completely change the shape of the fan, stabilizers and some components. This made it possible to make climatic devices practically silent, while not reducing their performance. Compressors of air conditioners began to differ with an increase in productivity, and for their location exclusively multisplit outdoor units are used.

Household split systems

The wall-mounted air conditioner for home and office maintenance is designed to provide ideal conditions for living and working. The installation of Hyundai air conditioners, performed by specialists, will not take much time and will not require labor-intensive installation work. The manufacturer also made sure that buyers were able to choose the optimal multisplit model.For this, the following series of devices are presented in the salons of climatic equipment:

• air conditioners of the "Light" series with the function of auto-selection of the most suitable mode and the most simple control;
• household multi-split from the "Ion" series with an ionizer built into the unit and an economical "Eco" mode;
• universal models of the "Standard" series with a catechin and photocatalytic filter that completely protects the room microclimate from viruses, infections and microbes;
• equipment of the premium class "Luxe" and "Prestige" with a plasma air ionizer and a heat exchanger "Golden Fin", which prevents the formation of moisture and mold, thanks to the finest gold dusting on the external elements.

Almost all models are equipped with a complete filtration system to clean the incoming air. It is worth noting that the Luxe and Prestige lines are created using DC-inverter technology. It is quite acceptable to install such a device both in the living room and within the office premises. All inverter-based models are capable of operating in an absolutely silent mode, without distracting staff from work and without disturbing the inhabitants of the dwelling during sleep and rest.

Cassette air conditioners

Cassettes are used in office buildings, shopping and entertainment centers, shops, showrooms and boutiques. A number of reasons contribute to this popularity:

• low noise level even at intensive mode;
• the presence of a heating electric element for accelerated heating;
• optimal size of the indoor unit in accordance with the "Euro Size" standards;
• the air flow is evenly distributed in 4 directions;
• convenient 12-hour programmable timer.

The louver grill is controlled by two independent motors. In the latest product line, the impeller shape has been improved. The company also takes care of the safety of its customers: a protective sheet of metal is provided in the switchboard, which guarantees the safety not only of the installed equipment, but also of the entire electrical wiring as a whole. At the same time, the element is easily accessible in case of need for the next inspection or repair of the air conditioner.

Duct air conditioners

Despite their compact size, such models allow you to serve several rooms at the same time. Thanks to the multi-diffuser wiring with a single indoor unit, such an air conditioner can cope with the task of both cooling and heating in several rooms (rooms) of the building at once. The block height of only 30 cm allows it to be installed even in low suspended ceilings.

In addition, the equipment is different:

• the air flow pressure during the operation of the system is in the range of 100-200 Pa;
• the remote control is equipped with a protective function that blocks unauthorized reprogramming of the air conditioner;
• built-in timer for 24 hours;
• "Eco" - mode;
• convenient control of the air conditioner due to the phase monitor (in some models).

Floor and ceiling split systems

The noiselessness of such devices is primarily due to the high-performance fan. Installation of such devices does not require suspended ceilings, and therefore greatly simplifies installation. In addition, the equipment can be fixed against the wall surface of the premises, which will determine the further direction of the air flow.

Such installations are much more expensive than standard wall-mounted multi-split units, but the area they serve can be up to 180 m2. According to the product description, such devices differ in the following:

• length of communications - about 140 m (depending on the specific model);
• system "AntiFreez";
• timer and AutoRestart function;
• modes of supply ventilation and fast dehumidification.

Also, all devices are equipped with protection against condensate leakage, which greatly facilitates the use and maintenance of the equipment.

Mobile portable air conditioners

All mobile monoblocks from Hyundai are an example of stylish design and high performance.Like wall-mounted models of climatic devices, monoblocks will perfectly cope with the task of cooling and heating a room up to 30 m2. The portable climate unit is characterized by:

• efficient compressor;
• ergonomic control panel;
• accelerated cooling, heating and dehumidification of air;
• removable washable filter;
• evaporation of condensate in auto mode.

Free movement of the device is carried out by rollers built into the bottom. Thanks to the laconic design of the product, it will perfectly fit into any environment.

Hyundai Control Panel and Air Conditioning Instructions

Each set of equipment contains detailed instructions for air conditioners. In this user manual, the buyer will be able to read the information:

• description of the model;
• diagram of connections and internal elements of blocks;
• rules for the safe operation of equipment.

In addition, the instruction includes warranty coupons for servicing equipment and addresses of regional service centers, where it is possible to use the services of specialists and carry out qualified repairs of equipment.

Since all Hyundai air conditioners are controlled by a remote control, the manual provides an explanation of all the symbols used, as well as how to set the required mode. The remote control for the Hyundai air conditioner is a compact device with an ergonomic shape that allows you to effectively control the system from anywhere in the room.

Hyundai air conditioner error codes

Like most modern multi-split air conditioners "Hyundai" have a self-diagnosis function. This allows the system to independently detect and quickly identify a malfunction that has arisen that affects the normal operation of the device. Information about the breakdown is displayed on the unit display in the form of an air conditioner error code.

Most often, failures occur for the following reasons:

• the need to clean or replace filters;
• voltage drops in the network;
• block communication failures;
• the need to adjust the tension of the compressor drive belt.

User reviews

Given the high demand for Hyundai products, you can easily find a lot of product reviews. The "pluses" of air conditioners are:

• high-quality body materials;
• noiselessness of work;
• ease of customization.

A variety of models allows each buyer to choose and buy exactly the model that is suitable not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also in terms of cost.
