What Combi
Control does?
Combi Control is a heat pump controller you operate
with a mobile phone. It is compatible with most
popular Toshiba heat pumps and all mobile phones (see
CombiControl.eu for the complete list).
The easiest way to use Combi Control is with a
Smartphone, using the Combi Control app downloadable
from the Android Market (for Android phones ) or App
Store (for iPhone). It can also be controlled with regular
mobile phone text messages (SMS). Combi Control allows
you to have long distance control over the mode of the
pump, room temperature and fan speed settings. Combi
Control can also inform you about low room temperature,
power failures and heat pump service intervals.

Power
When the power is out (power = 0V) the controller
continues to work on the battery and turns off after the
battery’s voltage drops below 3.5V. A fresh battery lasts
for approximately 24 hours (note that over time the
battery’s capacity decreases). After the controller is turned
off the run time will be saved. To save battery life when
the power is out the controller can be turned off with a
short push on the RESET button.
SIM card
NB! Make sure you disable the PIN code of the SIM card
you use in Combi Control.
NB! Make sure the SIM card you use in Combi Control can
access 2G network. Combi Control is not compatible with
SIM cards that use only 3G network.
A) Make sure that you have previously disabled the SIM card PIN code.
Insert SIM card as shown into Combi Control.
B) Plug the adapter into the socket under the Combi Control.

Installing
Fig. 1
Combi Control On the right side of
the indoor unit
Combi Control should be mounted on the wall to the right
of your heat pump’s indoor unit (see fig. 1), with its IR
transmitter pointing down. This way
the IR beam is reflected from the floor and reaches the heat
pump’s sensor most efficiently.
Other mounting configurations are possible too
as long as IR transmission from the controller
to the pump works.
NB! Thick carpets and dark floors can distort the IR beam. Fig. 2
Make sure the IR beam reaches the pump’s sensor by using
the controller’s Test function (see page 19). Attached to the right side of
the indoor unit

User levels
The amount of control Combi Control users have over the
device and the amount of information they receive from
the device can be set on a 3 level scale:
1. The Owner can send commands, report queries, setup
commands and receive Combi Control report messages
and alarm messages.
2. The Users can send commands and report queries to
Combi Control but cannot send Setup commands.
3. The All-level users can make report queries about the
status of the controller.

Error messages
“Error command: text”
SMS will be sent if there was an error in your command.
For example, an SMS “cool19max” receives the response
“Error command: cool19max”. Note that Combi Control will only return your incorrect
command without suggesting a correct one (the error in the example is the absence of
spaces between commands).
“Error userrights: text”
SMS will be sent if the user had no rights for that command.
“Error pump command: text“
SMS means the operation T8 is not available for the specified pump.
When Combi Control fails to send an SMS it will retry after 1 minute.
