6-1. Overview
What is the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller?
Beginning with the DC-INV series of outdoor units, nonvolatile memory (EEPROM)
is used in the outdoor unit PCB. In this way, the setting switches that were located on
earlier PCBs have been converted to EEPROM data. This remote controller is an out-
door unit maintenance tool that is used to make and change the EEPROM settings.
This remote controller can be used for checking the outdoor unit EEPROM settings
and contents, and also can be used to monitor the outdoor unit alarm history and
indoor/outdoor unit temperatures, and to check the status of the indoor unit connec-
tions (No. of units, operating status, etc.).
Note: It is used only during test runs and servicing because this tool does not func-
tion as a remote controller.
