Alarm code
04
Abnormal transmission between the inverter PCB and the outdoor unit PCB.
•
The RUN indicator flashes and the ALARM indication is displayed on the remote control switch.
•
The unit no., the alarm code and the unit code are alternatively displayed in the temperature setting section and the unit
no. and alarm code are displayed on the outdoor unit's PCB1 display.
* This alarm is indicated when an anomaly is maintained for 30 seconds after the normal transmission between PCB1
and PCB2 of the outdoor unit, and also if the anomaly is maintained for 30 seconds after the microcomputer is
automatically reset. The alarm is indicated when abnormal transmission is maintained for 30 seconds after the outdoor
unit is turned on.

*1): When the unit is applied the excessive surge current due to lightning or other causes, alarm code "04" or Inverter
stoppage code (IT) "11" is indicated and the unit cannot be operated. In this case, check to ensure the surge absorver
(SA) in the noise filter (NF1, NF2). The surge absorver may be damaged if the inner surface of the SA is black. If so, replace
surge absorver.
If the inside of the surge absorver is normal, turn OFF the power supply and wait for LED201 (red) of PCB2 OFF
(approximately 5 minutes) and turn ON power supply again.
