14. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
14-1 INTRODUCTION
- Self-diagnostic function is the key for success of air conditioner.
- The printed circuit boards existing inside the indoor unit are equipped with self-diagnostic function to detect
malfunction and automatically stops the operation at the air conditioner.
14-2 EXPLAINATION OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
Once a malfunction is detected, the diagnostic control section will force the system mode to OFF for 3
minutes. After the OFF delay, system mode releases and allowed returning to its normal state. The system
will be allowed to restart on its own. The diagnostic control section will allow the system to fail 5
consecutive times before shutting down the system. If the system is performing an active defrost, both the
compressor drive and reversing valve malfunction test will be cancelled and reinitiated after the following
compressor OFF-ON cycle. The Unit on lamp is scanned every half-second and the error codes are
displayed by the flashing frequency of unit on lamp. The error codes are displayed during SHUT-OFF (3
minutes off and after the 5
14-3 SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION DESCRIPTION FOR HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

17. AIR FILTER CLEANING
- The air filters supplied with the unit are high-efficiency washable and recyclable filters.
- To establish, how frequently these should be cleaned, the operating conditions must be taken in to account.
- REMOVAL OF AIR FILTERS FOR CLEANING:
Open the return grille without removing the two screws and the central
clamp from their position.
Remove acrylic-fiber filters, carbon filter and photocatalytic filter for
cleaning.
- CLEANING OF ACRYLIC-FIBRE STANDARD FILTERS:
First clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner every month. Rinse filter under running water, and dry it
Notes: (1) After cleaning, put the filters back in the correct positions.
(2) Before operating the air conditioner, check that air filters are in their places inside unit.

18. PERIODICAL CHECKS
For a good operation of the air conditioner it is recommended to carry out checks and maintenance as
indicated.
Recommended maintenance intervals may very depending on the installation environment, e.g. dusty zones,
etc.
