10-5-1. When wireless remote controller fails or its battery is exhausted
10-5-2. When wired remote controller or indoor unit microprocessor fails
When the remote controller cannot be used
When the batteries of the remote controller run out or the remote control- ler malfunctions, the emergency operation can be done using the emer- gency buttons on the grille.
DEFROST/STAND BY lamp Operation lamp
Emergency operation switch (heating) Emergency operation switch (cooling) Receiver
Starting operation
• To operate the cooling mode, press the button for more than 2 seconds.
• To operate the heating mode, press the button for more than 2 seconds.
* Lighting of the Operation lamp means the start of operation.
Details of EMERGENCY MODE are as shown below.
Operation mode COOL HEAT
Set temperature 24°C 24°C
Fan speed High High
Air flow direction Horizontal Downward 5
Stopping operation
• To stop operation, press the button or the button .
1. When the wired remote control or the indoor unit microprocessor has failed, but all other components work properly, if you set the switch (SWE) on the indoor controller board ON, the indoor unit will begin Emergency Operation.
When Emergency Operation is activated, the indoor unit operates as follows:
(1) Indoor fan is running at high speed. (2) Drain pump is working.
* Note on the wireless remote control
When the remote control does not function, it is possible to activate.
Emergency Operation by using the indoor unit Emergency operation switch (SW1, SW2 of the wireless signal receiver board).
However, if the indoor unit microcomputer has failed, it is nesessary to proceed with points 2 and 3 below as in the case of the wired remote control.
2. When you activate Emergency operation of the cooling or heating, you have to set the switch (SWE) on the indoor controller board and activate Emergency operation of the outdoor unit.
For details on how to activate Emergency operation of the outdoor unit, refer to the outdoor unit wiring diagram.
Note: Emergency operation will not work unless outdoor unit is PU series.
3. Before you activate Emergency operation, check the following points:
(1) Emergency operation cannot be activated when:
• the outdoor unit malfunctions. • the indoor fan malfunctions.
• when the malfunction of drain pump is detected during self-diagnosing.
(2) Emergency operation becomes continuous only by switching the power source on/off.
ON/OFF on the remote control or temperature control etc. does not function.
(3) Avoid operating for a long time when the outdoor unit begins defrosting
while Emergency operation of the heating is activated, because it will start to blow cold air.
(4) Emergency cooling should be limited to 10 hours maximum (The indoor unit heat exchanger may freeze).
(5) After Emergency operation has been deactivated, set the switches etc. to their original positions.
(6) Movement of the vanes does not work in Emergency operation, therefore you have to slowly set them manually to the appropriate position.

Indoor controller board fuse check Notes
· High voltage is applied to the connector (CNMF) for the fan motor. Pay attention to the service.
· Do not pull out the connector (CNMF) for the motor with the power supply on.
(It causes trouble of the indoor controller circuit board and fan motor.) Self check
Symptom : The indoor fan cannot turn around.
