• Defective vane motor
• Breaking of wire or connection failure of connector
• Up/down vane setting is “No vanes”.
3 Upward/downward vane does not work.
• The vane is set to fixed position.
1 Normal operation (The vane is set to hor-
izontal regardless of remote control.)
2 Check 2 (left).
• Check the vane motor. (Refer to “How
to check the parts”.)
• Check for breaking of wire or connection failure of connector.
• Check “Up/down vane setting”. (Unit
function selection by remote controller).
• After completing installation and the wiring and piping of the indoor and outdoor units, check for refrigerant leakage,
looseness in the power supply or control wiring, wrong polarity, and no disconnection of one phase in the supply.
• To avoid damage to the compressor, make certain that all three phases of the power supply voltage are in the
proper phase sequence.
• If connected in the reverse phase sequence, the indoor unit will not be able t o provide sufficient cooling air. The fan
on the outdoor unit that is connected in the reverse phase sequence will tarn in the wrong direction
and makes the compressor rattle.
• If the outdoor unit is connected to the power supply voltage in the wrong phase sequence, P8 error occurs, or
the built-in thermostat triggers the compressor to stop and results in P8 error. Once the built-in thermostat is
triggered, it will take a long time until it returns to its pre-set temperature. Until then, the compressor cannot be
started, even after the phase sequence is corrected.
• Use a 500-volt megohmmeter to check that the resistance between the power supply terminals and ground is
at least 1.0M".
• Do not carry out this test on the control wiring (low voltage circuit) terminals.
Warning:
Do not use the air conditioner if the insulation resistance is less than 1.0M".

4. Mounting the Remote Control Interface Unit
The Interface unit should be placed in a location where the connecting cable from the interface can reach an indoor unit.
The device will not function properly if the connecting cable is extended so the connecting cable should not be extended.
Mount the interface unit securely to a pillar or wall using 2 or more screws.
■ When Using Wall Mounting Brackets
1
Attach the wall mounting brackets to the interface unit
using 2 mounting screws.

When mounting the interface unit inside a ceiling
or wall, install an access door to facilitate maintenance.
When the interface unit is mounted
above an indoor unit, it should be
positioned 40 mm or more away from the
unit to ensure that ceiling grills can be
removed.
40 mm or more
Attach the interface unit connecting cable here.
Store extra connecting cable in the ductwork space
behind the indoor unit.
* If there is any slack in the connecting cable, use a
fastener to keep it in place.
* When mounting the interface unit using a cushioning
material , be sure to mount it in a location where it will not
fall.

11-7. TIMER OPERATION
● Timer operation can be performed by setting the wired timer. Start and stop times can be set in 10-minute increments within
a 24-hour period.
● When used in combination with the central control remote controller of the M-NET control system for the outdoor unit, one
program timer can be used for individual timer settings for each group of the central control system. (Each timer setting can
be stored in data memory so timer settings for up to 50 groups can be set individually.)
✻ Please refer to the MELANS catalog or technical information for details about the central control remote controller.
11-5. POWER OUTAGE AUTOMATIC RECOVERY OPERATION
• Whenever a power outage or switching of the power supply causes the power supply of an operating air conditioner to go
from OFF to ON, this function will automatically restore the operation of the air conditioner to its previous operating mode.
w If the power is turned from OFF to ON when the air conditioner is not in operation, the air conditioner will not automatically
be turned on. However, the timer operation will be cancelled if the air conditioner is in timer operation (including when the
unit is waiting for its start time). Setting for timer operation must be performed once again.
• If there is a momentary power outage of less than one second while the air conditioner is in operation, there may not be a
clear determination of whether or not there was a power failure. When it has been determined that there has been a power
failure, recovery will take approximately four minutes after the power is restored. Please wait. (Once "PLEASE WAIT" has
appeared on the display, a protection system will operate to prevent the unit from restarting for three minutes.)
When it has been determined that there has been no power failure, operation will continue as is.
• Settings can be made by function selections from the remote controller.
• When there is group control, selection of all refrigerants is required.
11-6. INDIVIDUAL CONTROL OPERATION FROM A SEPARATE ROOM
• By simply centralizing the remote controllers installed in each room in a separate control room, individual control or central-
ized monitoring of the air conditioners in each room can be attained.
• Air conditioner control can be performed up to a total of 500 meters away by connecting the indoor units and remote con-
trollers with 0.3 to 1.25 mm
2
2-core cable.
• If a remote controller is installed in a room and control room, refer to the section on operating with two remote controllers.
