Yepp,

Just speak to your friendly Mitsu rep.
They do courses on how to use them and everything.

You couldn't elaborate a tincey bit could you Viking.

I understand it to be a diagnostic tool (only from what I've learnt here I hasten to add) but is it like these garage, car maintenance things designed to replace real mechs or is it genuinely useful?

I mean, what does it actually do and how?

OK,
It doesn't actually do anything you can't do on the system itself.

It will give you central control of all indoor units.
It will display all sensor/running data and fault-codes.(which you are able to see on the outdoor unit with the right dip switch settings)
It will log the data for you.


That's pretty much it.

It will not replace an engineer, someone still has to make a judgement of what's going on.

It is however a nifty tool, a bit like a set of gauges combined with a multimeter.

But just as with the gauges, it doesn't matter how good they are. A good engineer with bad gauges will do a better job than a bad engineer with good gauges.

That about hits the nail on the head doesn't it!

Let me go one step further:

A good engineer with his six senses in tact (the sixth one being common sense) will diagnose a problem quicker than a "would be" with all the tools and gadgets you can give him.
