(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.

< 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.)
