KT-828 Gold Universal Mini Split AC Remote

The KT-828 Gold is a universal remote for mini split air conditioners. If the handset that came with your wall unit is lost or worn out, this one is sold as a replacement for mini splits. The finish is gold, and the LCD is backlit so you can read the screen in a dim room.

It holds 2,000 codes in one remote. You do not type a brand code in by hand on this model. The published setup is a digital automatic code search: the remote steps through its library until the indoor unit answers. That is the pairing method listed for the KT-828 Gold.

Once it is talking to the mini split, you can set the room temperature. The fan choices on the feature list are auto, manual, and normal. The store description stays short on purpose: easy setting, simple operation, and a handset meant to cover more than one brand of mini split.

Use it on a ductless mini split. The listing describes a replacement for mini split air conditioners. It does not describe a window-unit or portable-AC remote. The gold KT-828 is listed at $14.50. The silver KT-N828 next to it in this catalog uses the same 2,000-code automatic search if you want the other finish. The KT-E03 is a different remote: 4,000 codes, a key for direct code entry, and its own note that it does not work with window or portable air conditioners, listed at $13.50.

Point the handset at the indoor unit the way you would any infrared remote. If the first pass does not land on your brand, run the automatic search again. If you are matching a remote to a Classic America system, the remote finder starts from the kind of unit you have and points you at the handset that fits.
