15.4. Self-diagnosis Method
15.4.1. H11 (Indoor/Outdoor Abnormal Communication)
Malfunction Decision Conditions
During startup and operation of cooling and heating, the data received from outdoor unit in indoor unit signal transmission is
checked whether it is normal.
checked whether it is normal.
Malfunction Caused
• Faulty indoor unit PCB.
• Faulty outdoor unit PCB.
• Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to wrong wiring.
• Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to breaking of wire in the connection wires between the indoor and outdoor
• Faulty outdoor unit PCB.
• Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to wrong wiring.
• Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to breaking of wire in the connection wires between the indoor and outdoor
units.
• Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to disturbed power supply waveform.
