The Austrian-Italian company Faura has been manufacturing climate systems, humidifiers, air conditioners and heating appliances for over 15 years. The engineering and design departments of the concern are located in Europe, and production sites are located in China and Brazil. Faura products have been presented on the Russian market since 2013. The company's line of wall split systems consists of three series: ALBA, B-COOL, DC-COOL.
Air conditioners Faura ALBA
The ALBA series includes wall-mounted air conditioners of the classic type (with temperature sensor). Air conditioners have four operating modes: cooling, heating, drainage, simple ventilation.
Among the features of the device are the following:
- A-class energy efficiency;
- multi-stage air purification system;
- washable built-in filter;
- the presence of an ionizer;
- system of protection of the external block against icing;
- function of remembering settings.
Faura Alba air conditioners are equipped with the “Moon display” indicator system, which disappears when the power is turned off and does not emit light in the dark.
Depending on the model, the air conditioners of the ALBA series are designed for rooms from 20 to 63 m2. The special design and the algorithm for the movement of the blinds ensure the distribution of air flow for uniform cooling of rooms of complex geometric shapes.
Split system B-COOL
In the B-COOL series, wall-mounted air conditioners of a new generation are presented to create a comfortable microclimate in rooms up to 70 m2.
Faura N / U-FOG air conditioners have several innovative features:
- reduced standby power consumption;
- deodorizing carbon filter;
- automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger;
- ionization and purification of air using cold plasma;
- wide air flow direction adjustment;
- function “I Feel”;
- automatic restart in case of power outages.
Also in the split systems, the “Moon display” design, the ability to remember the latest settings and the delayed start function are saved.
The “I Feel” mode is intended for those cases when there are a small number of people in the room. The air conditioner reads the temperature sensor located in the remote control, and provides cooling or heating of the room until the set temperature in the zone of the remote control is reached.
Wall conditioners DC-COOL
Faura DC-COOL inverter wall split systems support the specified temperature regime due to the smooth adjustment of compressor power, which provides up to 30% energy savings.
Unlike conventional models, the inverter air conditioner continuously measures the temperature and, when deviating from the set value by 0.5 degrees, smoothly increases the speed of the electric motor without reaching the maximum load. This operating mode has a positive effect on the life of the climate equipment.
Advantages of inverter air conditioners Faura:
- accuracy of maintaining the temperature within 1.5 degrees;
- lack of time limits for use;
- forced turbo mode for quick room cooling;
- saturation of air with active ions according to the Cold plasma technology;
- customization for a specific user in the “I Feel” mode;
- muted brightness of the indicators "Moon display";
- automatic switching of cooling and heating modes to maintain the set temperature;
- self-cleaning radiator to prevent mold.

Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners Faura
Remote control of Faura split systems is carried out through a multifunctional IR remote control. The control signal receiver provides a wide response angle at a distance of up to 8 meters.
Information about the current mode is displayed on the remote control display, the activation of the functions is carried out by the corresponding buttons and is confirmed by the flashing of the communication icon, as well as a sound signal. The air conditioner remote control is powered by two 1.5V AAA batteries.
Air conditioners Faura have several features of remote control:
- Indication of the ambient temperature of the outdoor or indoor units;
- choice between four fan modes;
- per minute timer setting;
- activation of the screen backlight of the indoor unit using a separate button on the remote control;
- energy saving option, when the device automatically adjusts the temperature for minimal energy consumption;
- remote control lock function for protection against children.
For some models, the ability to control via Wi-Fi is available.
In the event of a breakdown or loss of the remote control, the manufacturer provided the ability to activate the air conditioner in automatic mode using the service button, which is located under the front panel of the indoor unit.
For the proper operation of the equipment, the air conditioner must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the factory instructions.
Error codes for air conditioners Faura
During abnormal operation of the air conditioner, the temperature sensor on the front panel of the indoor unit is flashing and displays the corresponding error codes. Decoding of the main codes is shown in the photo.
To solve the problem, in most cases, the user just needs to restart the split system. If these measures have not yielded results, the instruction for air conditioners strongly recommends contacting a service center that has a certificate for the provision of warranty services.
