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
YES
YES
YES
NO
When abnormality indication starts again
Measure the AC voltage at terminal 1 & 2 of outdoor unit
terminal board
terminal board
Is the measured voltage 230/240V?
● AC power supply abnormal fluctuation
● Defect in communication circuitry
of outdoor unit PCB
● Replace the PCB
●
Measure the DC voltage at terminal 2 & 3 (communication
Is the measured DC voltage fluctuate between 10~70V?
Measure the AC voltage at terminal 1 & 2 of indoor unit
Is the measured voltage 230/240V?
YES
Measure the DC voltage at terminal 2 & 3 of indoor unit
Is the measured DC voltage fluctuate between 10~70V?
For safety reason and to prevent
component breakdown, always switch
off the power before remove and
connect the component.

18.4.2 H12 (Indoor/Outdoor Capacity Rank Mismatched)
Malfunction Decision Conditions
During startup, error code appears when different types of indoor and outdoor units are interconnected.
Malfunction Caused
Malfunction Caused
Wrong models interconnected.
Wrong indoor unit or outdoor unit PCBs mounted.
Indoor unit or outdoor unit PCBs defective.
Indoor-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to wrong wiring.
Indoor-outdoor unit signal transmission error due to breaking of wire 3 in the connection wires between the indoor
and outdoor units.
