Panasonic CZ-18BT1U Serial Communication Error Identification Procedure, Off Blinking Illuminated

(3) Serial Communication Error Identification Procedure

If the lamps on the main body show the following conditions after the completion of self-diagnostics, a communication error between the indoor unit and outdoor unit might be considered.

In such a case, identify the breakdown section by using the following procedure.

NOTE Refer to "Method of Self-Diagnostics" for the self-diagnostics procedure.

Lamp Operation Timer High Power

Condition

E01

E12

:Off

:Blinking

:Illuminated

< Before the Operation >

Warning

For terminal strip short circuit work or inter-unit wiring removal, turn off the power to avoid an electric shock.

Release the terminal strip short circuit after the completion of self-diagnostics.

Caution

Do not perform the short-circuit work between any other terminals except for specified ones on the specified terminal strip. If such work is performed between the incorrect terminals, the unit might be broken.

< Check Items before Troubleshooting Serial Communication Start >

After confirming that the following errors do not exist, start the "Troubleshooting Serial Communication" in "Condition: E01 and E12".

1.	Mis -wiring (inter-unit cable, etc.)	6.	Reactor failure (defective insulation, etc.)
2.	AC power failure	7.	High-Pressure Switch failure
3.	Blown fuse	8.	Overload Relay failure
4.	Power Relay failure	9.	Magnetic Coil failure (defective insulation, short-circuit, etc.)
5.	Outdoor Fan Motor failure (defective insulation, etc.)	10. Compressor failure (defective insulation, etc.)
