When indoor electronic control P.C. board does not
receive serial signals for 4 to 5 seconds with
OPERATION/STOP(ON/OFF) button of remote
controller ON and 52C relay ON for the first time,
NOTE: In case of serial signal error, mis-wiring
indication will appear by turning power off and
then turning it back on.
When indoor electronic control P.C. board does not
receive serial signals from outdoor unit for 4 to 5
seconds.
Indoor electronic control P.C. board constantly
detects resistance every 8 seconds.
When thermistor shorts or opens.
When compressor has stopped due to overcurrent
protection or start-up failure protection 3 times in a
row within 1 min. after start-up.
<Thermistor short>
Thermistors are abnormal when they short after
compressor start-up.
<Thermistor open>
Thermistors are abnormal when they open after
compressor start-up.
However, discharge temperature thermistor is
abnormal when open circuit is detected more than
10 min. after compressor start-up.
When nonvolatile memory data cannot be read properly
on outdoor electronic control P.C. board, outdoor unit
stops and restarts 3 minutes later,

When the indoor unit has started operation and the above detection method has detected an abnormality (the first detection
after the power ON), the electronic control P.C. board turns OFF the 52C and the indoor fan motor with the operation indica-
tor lamp lighting.
When the 52C and the indoor fan motor are turned ON again 3 minutes later and the same abnormality is detected (a sec-
ond detection of the above abnormality after the power ON), the control P.C. board turns OFF the 52C and the indoor fan
motor with the operation indicator lamp flashing.
However, the first detection is cleared in case the power is turned OFF after the first detection.
