SERVICE FUNCTIONS
7
When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, set temperature, and the fan speed are
memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. “Auto restart function”automatically starts operation in the same
mode just before the shutoff of the main power. However if the unit is operated in “I FEEL CONTROL”mode before power
failure, the operation is not memorized. In “I FEEL CONTROL”mode, the operation is decided by the initial room tempera-
ture.
7-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION
7-1. TIMER SHORT MODE
For service, set time can be shortened by short circuit of JPG and JPS on the electronic control P.C. board.
The time will be shortened as follows.
Set time : 1 minute ➔ 1-second
Set time : 3 minute ➔ 3-second (It takes 3 minutes for the compressor to start operation. However, the starting time is
shortened by short circuit of JPG and JPS.)

7-2. P.C. BOARD MODIFICATION FOR INDIVIDUAL OPERATION
A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room.
In this case, to operate each indoor unit individually by each remote controller, P.C. boards of remote controller must be
modified according to the number of the indoor unit.
How to modify the remote controller P.C. board
Remove batteries before modification.
The board has a print as shown below :
The P.C. board has the print “J1”and “J2”. Solder “J1”and “J2”according to the number of indoor unit as shown in Table 1.
After modification, press the RESET button.
NOTE : For modification, take out the batteries and press the OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF) button 2 or 3 times at first.
After modification, put back the batteries then press the RESET button.
How to set the remote controller exclusively for particular indoor unit
After you turn the breaker ON, the first remote controller that sends the signal to the indoor unit will be regarded as the
remote controller for the indoor unit.
The indoor unit only accepts the signal from the remote controller that has been assigned to the indoor unit once they are
set. The setting will be cancelled if the breaker has turned off, or the power supply has shut down.
Please conduct the above setting once again after the power has restored.

How to release “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
1Turn off the main power for the unit.
2Pull out the electronic control P.C. board, the receiver P.C.
board and the display P.C.board. (Refer to 9-2.)
3Solder jumper wire to JR07 on the indoor
electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 8-6.)

Operation
1If the main power has been cut, the operation settings remain.
2After the power is restored, the unit restarts automatically according to the memory.(However, it takes at least 3 minutes
for the compressor to start running.)
NOTE
•The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after the remote controller was operated with the
remote controller.
•If main power is turned off or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer is active, the timer setting is
cancelled.
•If the unit has been off with the remote controller before power failure, the auto restart function does not work as the
power button of the remote controller is off.
•To prevent breaker off due to the rush of starting current, systematize other home appliances not to turn on at the same
time.
•When some air conditioners are connected to the same supply system, if they are operated before power failure, the
starting current of all the compressors may flow simultaneously at restart.
Therefore, the special counter-measures are required to prevent the main voltage-drop or the rush of the starting current
by adding to the system that allows the units to start one by one.

TROUBLESHOOTING
8
8-1. Cautions on troubleshooting
1. Before troubleshooting, check the following:
(1) Check the power supply voltage.
(2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for mis-wiring.
2. Take care of the following during servicing
(1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to first turn off the remote controller to stop the main unit, and then after
confirming the horizontal vane is closed, turn off the breaker and / or disconnect the power plug.
(2) Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before removing the front panel, the cabinet, the top panel, and the electronic
control P.C. board.
(3) When removing the electronic control P.C. board, hold the edge of the board with care NOT to apply stress on the
components.
(4) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the housing of the connector. DO NOT pull the lead wires.
3. Troubleshooting procedure
(1) First, check if the OPERATION INDICATOR lamp on the indoor unit is flashing on and off to indicate an abnormality.
To make sure, check how many times the abnormality indication is flashing on and off before starting service work.
(2) Before servicing, check that the connector and terminal are connected properly.
(3) When the electronic control P.C. board seems to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and the
components for bursting and discolouration.
(4) When troubleshooting, refer to 8-2. and 8-3.
4. How to replace batteries
Weak batteries may cause the remote controller malfunction.
In this case, replace the batteries to operate the remote controller normally.
1Remove the front lid and insert batteries.
Then reattach the front lid.

RESET button
2Press the RESET button with tip end of ball point
pen or the like, and then use the remote controller.
NOTE : If the RESET button is not pressed, the remote controller may not operate correctly.
Insert the negative pole
of the batteries first.
Check if the polarity of
the batteries is correct.
