Abnormal point and detection method
Check code
Remote controller transmission
error(E3)/signal receiving error(E5)

find blank of transmission path for 6 sec-
onds and could not transmit.
(Check code: E3)
Remote controller receives transmitted
data at the same time and compares the
received and transmitted data. Abnormal
E3
if these data are judged to be different
or
30 continuous times. (Check code: E3)
E5
Abnormal if indoor controller board could
not find blank of transmission path.
(Check code: E5)
Indoor controller board receives trans-
mitted data at the same time and com-
pares the received and transmitted data.
Abnormal if these data are judged to be
different 30 continuous times. (Check
code: E5)
Indoor/outdoor unit communication
error (Signal receiving error)
Abnormal if indoor controller board
cannot receive any signal normally for 6
minutes after turning the power on.
Abnormal if indoor controller board
cannot receive any signal normally for 3
minutes.
E6
Consider the unit abnormal under the
following condition: When 2 or more
indoor units are connected to an
outdoor unit, indoor controller board
cannot receive a signal for 3 minutes
from outdoor controller circuit board, a
signal which allows outdoor controller
circuit board to transmit signals.
Indoor/outdoor unit communication error
(Transmitting error)
Abnormal if "1" receiving is detected 30
E7
times continuously though indoor controller
board has transmitted "0".
Indoor controller board
Abnormal if data cannot be read normally
Fb
from the nonvolatile memory of the indoor
(FB)*
controller board.
Remote controller control board
Abnormal if data cannot be read nor-
mally from the nonvolatile memory of the
remote controller control board.

Countermeasure
Set a remote controller to main, and the
other to sub.
Remote controller is connected with only one

The address changes to a separate setting.
– Diagnose remote controller.
a) When "OK" is displayed, remote control-
lers have no problem.
Turn the power off,and on again to check.
When becoming abnormal again, replace
indoor controller board.
b) When "NG" is displayed, replace remote
controller.
c) When "E3" or "ERC" is displayed, noise
may be causing abnormality.
Check LED display on the outdoor control
circuit board. (Connect A-control service
tool, PAC-SK52ST.)
Refer to outdoor unit service manual.
Check disconnection or looseness of indoor/
outdoor unit connecting wire of indoor unit
or outdoor unit.
Check all the units in case of twin triple
indoor unit system.
– Turn the power off, and on again to
check. If abnormality occurs again,
replace indoor controller board or outdoor
controller circuit board.
Note:
Other indoor controller board may have defect
in the case of twin triple indoor unit system.
– Turn the power off, and on again to check.
If abnormality occurs again, replace indoor
controller board.
Replace indoor controller board.
