(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

CAUTION

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.

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.
