Most companies specialize in the production of a number of items of home appliances. One of the most famous is Scarlett. Under this brand small and medium-sized household appliances for various purposes are produced. The brand is owned by Arima Holding Corp. (Russia - Great Britain). All brand developments were carried out in Russia, and it is registered in the UK. All the main production is located in China, including the manufacture of spare parts and components, as well as the assembly of finished products.
Founded in 1996, Arima Holding Corp. planned to develop the brand as English - Russian. But given the circumstances and the wrong strategy for the promotion of goods, the placement of production facilities, both in the Russian Federation and in England, was canceled. Today, all stages of Scarlett's production are located in China, including the process of technical development and updating the product range. The assortment of goods is diverse and is divided into 4 main groups:
- The first of the Scarlett line, equipped with a standard feature set.
- Launched in 2007, SilverLine. Incorporated all the trends and trends of our time. Clear lines prevail in the design, and the minimalistic “hi-tech” is taken as the basis.
- Premium class equipment from the INDIGO collection (start in 2008).
- The latest developments, combined in an updated appearance, and the perfection of the technologies used, are the WhiteEdition line of technology, which has appeared on the market since 2013.
For Arima Holding Corporaitoin, there was only a function for adjustments regarding the corporate policy of the enterprise and control measures at the final stage of production. The full transfer of production to outsourcing to Chinese plants has significantly reduced costs and ensured the supply to Russia of economy-class technical devices. Factories manufacturing products under the Scarlett brand are not the property of a joint corporation and are executors of serial batches of goods. The process is controlled by the head office of AHC, located in Hong Kong.
The main lines of climate technology
Among the products manufactured under the trademark already known to the Russian buyer, there are several lines of air conditioners. Installation of climatic equipment within residential premises and offices will allow you to recreate a comfortable microclimate and improve living conditions within them. The following categories of air conditioning systems are presented to customers' choice:
- Domestic air conditioners of the On / Off series.
- Invertor split systems.
- Mobile devices.
All Scarlett ТМ lines have a standard set of functions: cooling, heating and drainage. The choice of a specific device model depends on the area and other features of the premises. Of particular interest to customers was the Comfort line of household air conditioners, which combined all types of climate equipment for residential and office premises.
Series of conditioners "On / Off"
Installation of the air conditioner is carried out on any free wall in the room. Models belong to the class of non-inverter air conditioners, are combined in the Comfort series and differ in the following characteristics:
- compressor and electronics from Hyundai;
- galvanic treatment of the outer surface of the heat exchanger guarantees long-term protection against corrosion damage;
- operation of the air conditioner at elevated external temperatures due to, thanks to a two-stage refrigerant boiling system (freon R 410A).
The presence of a starting capacitor of increased capacity allows the compressor to turn on even at a voltage of 180V. Other features of "Comfort" include 3 levels of air flow rate and the ability to operate the device in turbo mode.
Inverter multisplit
This series of split from the company TM "Scarlett", based on the description of the manufacturer, quite effectively cools or heats the air in rooms up to 25 m2. The designation "inverter" indicates the use of technology that provides smooth adjustment of capacities. Inverter multisplits are distinguished by functional features, such as:
- the presence of a built-in anion generator;
- the ability to adjust the position of the lattice of the blinds;
- antifreeze system that protects ice formations;
- self-diagnosis of device breakdowns.
In addition, to ensure that the room is always cozy and as comfortable as possible, it is enough to use the transfer of the air conditioner to auto mode. This will allow the system to independently maintain the set temperature parameters without additional user settings. It is possible to buy an invertor multisplit from TM Scarlett at a significantly lower price compared to similar devices from other manufacturers.
To get rid of harmful viruses, bacteria and microorganisms, just turn on the installed split system. Plasma filters built into the unit instantly form a high voltage electromagnetic field. Entering through the filter, the air stream is not only thoroughly cleaned, but also enriched with “-” ions. Almost 95% of all foreign particles (smoke, dust, microorganisms) are retained by filter material. The plasma filtration method allows you to get rid of annoying insects in the room, stagnant specific odors and prevent the formation of stains from soot and cigarette smoke on the surfaces.
Mobile air conditioners
In the absence of desire or ability to mount a wall split system, it is enough to simply install a portable (mobile) air conditioner in the room. Simply connect the candy bar to the network to create optimal conditions for work and living. Such portable air conditioners:
- do not require fastening, installation and additional means of fixation;
- freely move around the entire perimeter of the premises;
- They have all the basic functions of modern household "splits", including the drainage of the indoor climate with excessive humidity.
Evenly distribute warm and cold air, depending on the set mode. Cope with medium facilities - up to 25 - 30 m2. As well as the wall-mounted multisplit, the mobile monoblock is equipped with 3 levels of air supply. For ease of movement, the device has wheels on the outer bottom panel, and convenient handles are provided on the sides of the case. The presence of a timer in the air conditioner determines the exact period of operation, and turn the device on or off automatically. Touch control of the all-in-one allows you to quickly and accurately configure the optimal mode.

Instructions for the Scarlett control panel and air conditioners
Split Scarlett systems, according to existing reviews, are quite simple to manage. The instructions for air conditioners included in the kit allow you to quickly understand the preparatory measures before starting the equipment. The instruction for each brand model contains:

Error codes for Scarlett air conditioners
Given that air conditioners are equipped with a self-diagnosis function, the timely detection of breakdowns and taking measures to eliminate them, as a rule, will not be difficult. If the self-diagnosis did not bring positive results and the device needs the intervention of a professional after-sales service, then the malfunction that has arisen can be completely eliminated by diagnosing the air conditioner. To do this, it is enough to determine the error codes of the air conditioners, which will help establish the cause of the failure.
