When there is no communication within a 3-minute period from the outdoor unit. Or, judged an error when no reply comes
from the outdoor unit.
• The outdoor unit is not turned on.
•
When the network of indoor/outdoor operation line was wired, the (SHORT) setting of the terminal resistor switch on the
outdoor control PC board was set on multiple units (four or more).
•
When the power was turned on after auto address setting was completed, the number of indoor units had been changed.
•
Forgot to turn on the indoor unit.
•
The CHK pin and/or TEST pin on the indoor unit's control PC board are shorted.
• Forgot to install the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) when replacing the indoor unit control PC board.
•
Mistakenly set the indoor unit address to Not Set in the remote control's detailed setting mode.
•
When indoor unit addresses are duplicated.
• There is a short, open, wrong contact or grounding of the indoor/outdoor operation line.
• There is an error in the receiving circuit on the signal output PC board (optional control PC board).
•
Malfunctions of the outdoor unit
•
High voltage was applied (over AC200V) in the indoor/outdoor operations line circuit.
• The thermistor inside the indoor unit is grounded.

Disconnect the connector mentioned above on the control PC board
of the indoor unit control PC board, and see whether the E04 goes off
4-3 after several minutes. (When doing so, if two remote controllers are
being used and the wireless remote controller is the main remote
controller, set the other remote controller as the main.)
4-4 Replace wireless remote control parts including wiring.
4-5 Is the LED on the indoor unit control PC board blinking?
The nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) on the indoor unit's control PC board is either not installed,
4-6 improperly installed or the nonvolatile memory is faulty. Correct this or after replacing the
nonvolatile memory, write model data to it in the remote control detailed settings mode.
