8-2. 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.
8-1. TIMER SHORT MODE
For service, set time can be shortened by short circuit of JPG and JPS the electronic control P.C. board.
The time will be shortened as follows. (Refer to 9-7.)
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.)

Table 1
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 will only accept 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 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 remodelling, take out
the batteries and press the
OPERATE/STOP(ON/OFF)
button twice or 3 times at
first.
After finish remodelling,
put back the batteries then
press the RESET button.

TROUBLESHOOTING

10
9-1. 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 the following during servicing.
1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn off the unit first with the remote controller, 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.

Lead wiring
MSZ-GA22VA - MSZ-GA25VA - MSZ-GA35VA - E1E1E1
NOTE:
• The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after the indoor unit 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 appliance 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.

CN151 CN211CN112 CN1R1

8-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION
When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed
are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. The “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” sets to work the moment
power has restored after power failure. Then, the unit will restart automatically.
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.)
How to release “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
1Turn off the main power for the unit.
2Solder the Jumper wire to JR07 on the indoor electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 9-7.)

21 Stopper
Lock.
Left
Insert this end first.
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) If the electronic control P.C. board is supposed to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and the
components for bursting and discoloration.
4) When troubleshooting, refer to 9-2., 9-3. and 9-4.
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.
RESET button
Insert the negative pole of the
batteries first. Check if the polarity
of the batteries are correct.
NOTE : 1. If RESET button is not pressed, the remote controller may not operate correctly.
2. This remote controller has a circuit to automatically reset the microcomputer when batteries are replaced.
This function is equipped to prevent the microcomputer from malfunctioning due to the voltage drop caused by
the battery replacement.
2Press RESET button with tip end of ball point pen
or the like, and then use the remote controller.
1Remove the front lid and insert batteries.
Then reattach the front lid.
If horizontal vane is not installed correctly, all of the operation indicator lamps will blink.
In this case, install the horizontal vane correctly by following the procedures 1to 2.
NOTE: Before installation of the horizontal vane, turn OFF the power supply.
5. How to install the horizontal vane
In procedure 22lock the
stoppers until they click
into place.
INFORMATION FOR MULTI SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER
OUTDOOR UNIT : MXZ series
Multi system air conditioner can connect two or more indoor units with one outdoor unit.
•Unit won’t operate in case the total capacity of indoor units exceeds the capacity of outdoor units. Do not
connect indoor units beyond the outdoor unit capacity.
Operation indicator lamp flashes as shown in the figure below.
•When you try to operate two or more indoor units with one outdoor unit simultaneously, one for the cooling and
the other for heating, the operation mode of the indoor unit that operates earlier is selected. The other indoor
units will start the operation later cannot operate, indicating as shown in the figure below. In this case, please
set all the indoor units to the same operation mode.
•When indoor units starts the operation while the defrosting of outdoor unit is being done, it takes a few minutes
(max. 10 minutes) to blow out the warm air.
•In the heating operation, though indoor unit that does not operate may get warm or the sound of refrigerant
flowing may be heard, they are not malfunction. The reason is that the refrigerant continuously flows into it.

Outline of the function
This air conditioner can memorize the abnormal condition which has occurred once.
Even though LED indication listed on the troubleshooting check table disappears, the memorized failure details can be
recalled.
This mode is very useful when the unit needs to be repaired for the abnormality which doesn't recur.

The cause of abnormality cannot be found because the abnormality doesn't recur.
Setting up the failure mode recall function
Before blinking, does the left lamp of OPERATION
INDICATOR lamp stay ON for 3 seconds?
Stays ON for 3 seconds (without beep):
The outdoor unit is abnormal.
The indoor unit is abnormal.
