Abstract
A self configuring air conditioning system. The system includes a system controller for an air conditioning system operably connected to a compressor and an expansion valve, a first portable wireless remote controller for providing commands and information to the system controller by wireless transmission, and a second portable wired remote controller for providing commands and information to the system controller by wired transmission. The system further includes a wireless receiver operably connected to the system controller for receiving wireless remote transmissions from the first portable wireless remote controller, and an interface operably connected to the system controller for receiving wired remote transmissions from the second wired remote controller. The system also includes means, operatively associated with the system controller and responsive to the interface, for automatically establishing a first air conditioning system operating configuration if the wired remote controller is present, and for establishing a second air conditioning system operating configuration if the wired remote controller is absent.
