40 19. SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION FOR MALFUNCTION DETECTION EXPLAINATION OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION 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. 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 5th retry failure).

Water vapor (mist) emanating from the outdoor unit. Unpleasant smells coming from the indoor unit. Strange noises coming from the indoor unit. Starting in heating mode for heat pump systems System malfunction contact service center after having made the following checks: Air filters are clean. Air circulation is not obstructed. Outdoor unit coil is not obstructed with a service reduction of air circulation. The cool air from the indoor unit is coming into contact with the room air. This is due to the refrigerant beginning to circulate or an adjustment of the refrigerant pressures. It is normal in heat pump operation, when defrost is automatically activated. Unpleasant smells can be caused by substances accumulated in the air filters Occasionally the indoor unit can emit some strange short noises during operation or when it has stopped. These are generally due to the of temperature changes on the plastic parts. If the system starts at low ambient temperatures, it takes a little while to reach a comfortable room temperature. When the system is started by the remote control, it emits a signal beep, but the louvre does not swing and the fan does not run until the operating temperature has been reached.
