(3) Serial Communication Error Identification Procedure
Refer to "Method of Self-Diagnostics" for the self-diagnostics procedure.
(3-1) Condition: E01
< Before the Operation >
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.
Troubleshooting Serial Communication
Is the voltage of about DC12V
or more given between the terminals
2 and 3 on the outdoor unit terminal strip
(Serial Communication Line) ?
(Fig. 1)
No
Yes
1. Turn OFF the power and wait until the power lamp (LED)
of the outdoor unit controller is turned OFF.
2. Disconnect the cable from the terminal 3 on the indoor unit
terminal strip. (Fig. 2)
3. Turn ON the power.

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.
