Cause 

Solution 

Bad communication bus 
connection between 
outdoor and indoor 
units. 

Check that connections between C1 
and C2 on outdoor and indoor 
terminal block is consistent (C1 
terminals connected together, C2 
terminals connected together). 

Normal cable used 
instead of shielded 
cable. 

Be sure to use a shielded 
communication cable for serial 
connection. 

Wrong communication 
address. 

Be sure to have set the correct 
address on every indoor unit. Follow 
unit specific installation instructions. 

Bad earth connections. 

Check that earth cables are properly 
connected to every terminal. 
Check that the shield of the 
communication cable is properly 
connected to every terminal. 
Chech that all internal earth cable are 
properly connected. 

Communication fuses 
blown. 

Check the communication fuse on 
outdoor unit. 
Check the communication fuse on 
indoor unit (only certain models). 

Indoor units not 
powered on. 

Check that the indoor units have 
power supply and that the units are 
working. 

Outdoor or indoor units 
pcb out of order. 

Check that all the pcbs are powered 
on. 
Be sure that power supply has not 
been connected to the 
communication terminals. 
Check that there are no burnt signes 
on the pcbs, in particular close to 
communication cables. 

Communication 
error between the 
outdoor unit and all 
the indoor units. 

Compressor and fan 
are stopped after 
30 seconds of 
missing 
communication. 
The system restarts 
automatically as 
soon as the 
communication is 
recovered. 

Compressor damaged. 

Check that there is no continuity 
between the phases of the 
compressor and the earth (dielectric 
strength). 

Error on all the 
indoor units. 

Compressor and fan 
are stopped. 
The system restarts 
automatically as 
soon as the error 
on the indoor unit is 
solved. 

An error occurred on all 
the indoor units of the 
system. 

Follow specific indoor units 
troubleshooting.
