Air Conditioner 

Fault Preventing AC 

from operating 

OR

UNO Board 

not configured 

correctly for BMS 

Control

•  An Air Conditioner fault may prevent the unit from operating from a BMS 

command.

•  Or the UNO Outdoor Board may be incorrectly setup for BMS Control.

•  From the unit, check the UNO Board 7-segment display for any Unit Fault Error 

Codes

•  Consult the Air Conditioner unit’s troubleshooting guide to resolve the fault.
•  Confirm that the UNO Outdoor Board is setup for the correct BMS Control 

Mode as per your installed BMS network setup

•  See Section 05 for instructions on configuring UNO Outdoor Board for BMS 

Control.

•  From the BMS Controller, ensure that you are able to read data from the correct 

BMS Registers, and that there are no address base issues.

•  Try reading from Modbus Analogue Register 405 for BMS Card Software Version 
•  If Modbus Register 405 reads a 0, then try read from Modbus Register 406 

instead. If this returns a non-zero value, then plus one offset will need to be 
added to all Modbus registers. 

•  Check for any Air Conditioner operation faults by reading the Alarm Output 

from Modbus Analogue Register 503. If this register is 

1

, then the unit will not 

operate.

•  Check BMS Card to A/C unit communications by reading from Modbus 

Analogue Register 909. If this register reads a 1, then the BMS Card is not 
connected to the A/C unit correctly. 

•  Inspect UNO Outdoor Board and BMS Card for faults 
•  Check the unit fault error code by reading from Modbus Analogue Register 

900.

•  Consult the Air Conditioner unit’s troubleshooting guide to resolve the fault.
•  Once all faults are resolved, Modbus Analogue Register 503 should be cleared, 

indicating that the unit is no longer in a fault condition.

•  Confirm that the UNO Outdoor Board is setup for the correct BMS Control 

Mode by reading the BMS Control Mode from Modbus Analogue Register 505.

•  If operating in Basic BMS Control, then Modbus Analogue Register 505 should 

read 1.

•  If operating in Advanced BMS Control, then Modbus Analogue Register 505 

should read 2.

•  See Section 05 for instructions on configuring UNO Outdoor Board for BMS 

Control.
