Indoor Unit Auto Addressing

PRE-COMMISSIONING

Upon successful completion of the auto addressing function, an unintentional compressor start can occur unless the communications cable 

to the indoor units is removed from the water source unit terminals IDU(A) and IDU(B). Do NOT open the service valves or attempt to start 

water source unit compressors or until directed by the Commissioning Agent. Major damage to the unit piping and compressors will occur, 

and there is a risk of explosion, suffocation, physical injury, and / or death.

Initiate the Auto Addressing Procedure, continued

8.  Know how many indoor units are connected to the system.  

9.  Press and hold red Auto Address Button for about five (5) 

seconds. Release when “88” appears on the LED. After three (3) 

to seven (7) minutes, the display will flash a number for about ten 

(10) seconds indicating how many indoor units the system  

successfully communicated with. 

10. This number should match the known installed number of indoor 

units if the auto addressing procedure was successful. 

11. Upon completion of the auto addressing routine, the display will 

be blank and the system will be in standby waiting for another 

command. 

12. Upon successful completion of the auto address procedure, 

record the system address assigned to each indoor unit by the 

auto address procedure in the column provided on the Pre-com-

missioning Device Configuration Worksheet. 

13. After recording the system addresses assigned to each device, open the water source unit disconnect. Remove the water source unit to 

indoor unit communications cable from terminals IDU(A) and IDU(B). Protect conductors by placing electrical tape over the bare ends. 

14. Close the disconnect to reapply power to the water source unit and energize the compressor crankcase heater. Once again, verify the 

water source unit to indoor unit(s) communications cable is not connected to terminals IDU(A) and IDU(B) of the water source unit. 

15. Replace the control panel door.
