If the timer mode is active and the unit is immediately restarted after a stop, this LED flashes until a
YELLOW LED (2) shows the operation in timer mode.
During this operation in this operating mode, the LED is lit .
If the time mode is active and the unit is immediately restarted after a stop, this LED flashes until a new
signal is sent to the indoor unit.
RED LED (3) gives the following information:
- During normal operation, the LED is OFF;
- During defrost the LED is lit;
- During the test for wired connection, the LED
flashes at 1- second intervals.
EMEGENCY OPERATION (5)
Can be used when the remote control is lost or inoperative.
Use a screwdriver to press the push-button.
Emergency operation:
When the unit is in the OFF mode and the emergency is pressed for 5 seconds, the system will operate
as follows:
- Automatic mode.
- Temperature preset to 22C.
- Automatic fan speed.
- Louvers set automatically according to operating mode.
- Timer Functions are inactive.
When a signal is received by the remote control, system operates accordingly.

Self-diagnostic function is the key for success of air conditioner operation.
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.
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.
