SERVICE FUNCTIONS MSZ-HE09NA MSZ-HE12NA MSZ-HE15NA MSZ-HE18NA MSZ-HE24NA 7-1. TIMER SHORT MODE For service, the following set time can be shortened by bridging JPG and JPS on the indoor electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 9-7.) • The set time for the ON/OFF timer can be reduced to 1 second for each minute.

7-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” automatically starts operation in the same mode just before the shut-off of the main power. Operation If the main power has been cut, the operation settings remain.

(5) STOP (operation OFF) and ON TIMER standby In the following cases, the horizontal vane returns to the closed position. (a) When OPERATE/STOP (ON/OFF) button is pressed (POWER OFF). (b) When the operation is stopped by the emergency operation. (c) When ON TIMER is ON standby. (6) Dew prevention During COOL or DRY operation with the vane angle at Angle 4 or 5 when the compressor cumulative operation time exceeds 1 hour, the vane angle automatically changes to Angle 1 for dew prevention.

8-6. EMERGENCY/TEST OPERATION In the case of test run operation or emergency operation, use EMERGENCY OPERATION switch on the right side of the indoor unit. Emergency operation is available when the remote controller Operation mode COOL HEAT is missing or has failed, or when the batteries in the remote controller are Set temperature 75°F(24°C) 75°F(24°C)
TROUBLESHOOTING MSZ-HE09NA MSZ-HE12NA MSZ-HE15NA MSZ-HE18NA MSZ-HE24NA 9-1. CAUTIONS ON TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Before troubleshooting, check the following 1) Check the power supply voltage. 2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring. 2. Take care of the following during servicing 1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the unit first with the remote controller, and then after confirm- ing the horizontal vane is closed, turn OFF the breaker and/or disconnect the power plug.
9-2. FAILURE MODE RECALL FUNCTION Outline of the function This air conditioner can memorize the abnormal condition which has occurred once. Even though LED indication listed on the troubleshooting check table (9-4.) disappears, the memorized failure details can be recalled. 1.
