18.4 Self-diagnosis
Method
18.4.1 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.
Malfunction Caused
Faulty indoor unit PCB.
Faulty outdoor unit PCB.
Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to wiring error.
Indoor unit-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to breaking of wire in the connection wires between the
indoor and outdoor units.
Troubleshooting
