MDC UNIT ADDRESSING

Setting the Unit Address — 

The address switch [S8]

of each MDC unit is set to “00” when the unit is shipped from

the factory.

• Set the address of the main MDC to “000”
• Set the address of sub MDC to “000” or “010”

Merged Port Setting — 

When two ports are merged to

connect a larger indoor unit (>54 kBtu/h), the following

switches should be set to the “ON, ON” position.

S1: Port 1 and 2 pipes are merged, set to “ON, ON” position
S3: Port 3 and 4 pipes are merged, set to “ON, ON” position
S5: Port 5 and 6 pipes are merged, set to “ON, ON” position
S7: Port 7 and 8 pipes are merged, set to “ON, ON” position
The indoor unit communication cable is connected to one of

the two ports.

TROUBLESHOOTING

LED Indication Lamp Instructions — 

When the 

LED indication lamp is intermittent flashing, it means 

communication error. Table 19 shows a description of what the 

flashing LED lights mean.

Table 19 — LED Light Description

Error Code — 

MDC error codes are displayed on the units

display (DSP1 and DSP2) as shown in Figs. 22 and 24. Table

20 shows display code definitions. Table 21 shows MDC query

codes.

Table 20 — Display Code Definitions

SW8/SW9 Query Instructions — 

When you press

either SW8 or SW9, the MDC’s LED display will show a

query code. Press SW8 to increment the number. Press SW9 to

decrease the number (i.e. 00), and then it will display the

corresponding value. See Table 21 for an explanation of these

display codes.
NOTE: The main MDC and sub MDC have the same query

instructions. If the sub MDC does not have this parameter, it

displays the value of the main MDC unit.

Table 21 — MDC Query Codes 

TEST RUN

Before beginning a test run, check the following:

1. Ensure the MDC unit, indoor unit, and outdoor unit are

installed correctly.

2. Ensure the piping and wiring are completed correctly.
3. Ensure there are no refrigerant leaks.
4. Ensure the drain is not clogged.
5. Ensure the piping is insulated.
6. Ensure the ground wiring is connected correctly.
7. Ensure the added refrigerant amount is correct based on

the actual pipe length.

8. Ensure the supplied power voltage matches the voltage

on the unit nameplate.

9. Ensure the connected indoor unit quantity during the

quick check MDC query is the same as the actual

quantity.
