9-5. EMERGENCY OPERATION

9-5-1. When IR wireless remote controller troubles or its battery is exhausted
9-5-2. When wired remote controller or indoor unit microprocessor fails
1.When the wired remote control or the indoor unit microcomputer has failed, but all other components work properly,
if you set the switch (SWE) on the indoor controller board ON, the indoor unit will begin Emergency Operation.
When Emergency Operation is activated, the indoor unit operates as follows:
(1) Indoor fan is running at high speed. (2) Drain pump is working.
Note on the IR wireless remote control: when the remote control does not function, it is possible to activate
Emergency Operation by using the indoor unit emergency operation switch (SW1, SW2 of the IR wireless signal
receiver board).
However, if the indoor unit microprocessor has failed, it is necessary to proceed with points 2 and 3 below as in the
case of the wired remote control.
2.When you activate Emergency Operation of the cooling or heating, you have to set the switch (SWE) on the indoor
controller board and activate Emergency Operation of the outdoor unit.
For details on how to activate Emergency Operation of the outdoor unit, refer to the outdoor unit wiring diagram.

(3)Avoid operating for a long time when the outdoor unit begins defrosting while Emergency Operation
of the heating is activated because it will start to blow cold air.
(4)Emergency cooling should be limited to 10 hours maximum (The indoor unit heat exchanger may freeze).
(5)After Emergency Operation has been deactivated set the switches, etc. to their original positions.
