INFORMATION
In case of preferential kWh rate, the indoor unit also needs
a power reset.
1 Check for improper combination of the indoor unit and the
outdoor unit. See the combination table in the Databook for
more information.
2 Perform a check of the power supply, connections, wiring,…
between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. See "3.1Power
supply"on page52.
Possible cause: Faulty wiring between the outdoor unit and
the indoor unit.
3 Perform a check of the main PCB. See "2.11 Main PCB"on
page35.
Possible cause: Faulty main PCB.
4 Perform a check of the indoor unit PCB. See "2.8Indoor unit
PCB"on page30.
Possible cause: Faulty indoor unit PCB.
INFORMATION
If all procedures listed above have been performed and the
problem is still present, contact the helpdesk.
