Solution Check
* The method of checking MAIN PCB and inverter compressor PCB (If normal, transmission LED blinks)
( Refer electrical component part for Multi V Space)

- Transmission connector & LED in inverter compressor PCB - Transmission connector & LED in MAIN PCB
In case of CH53, almost happened with CH05, the indoor units not operated actually are normal so check with same
method of CH05. and additionally check as shown as below and above flow chart

- Although the quantity of indoor units installed is same as LGMV data there may be a few indoor units with which
the number of transmission is not increased with LGMV

Test functions
- Although the quantity of indoor units installed is not same as LGMV data, and if transmission of the indoor unit
displayed at LGMV is done well then the indoor unit suspected to have some problem (and is not appear at LGMV)
may have following problems
ྙ wrong connection of transmission cable or power cable
ྚ fault of power / PCB / transmission cable
ྛ duplication of indoor unit number
- If transmission is not doing well wholly then the Auto Addressing is not done
(Plus) (Plus) - The case that CH53 appear at indoor unit also Auto Addressing is not done so indoor unit address may be duplicated

*After replacement of indoor unit PCB, Auto Addressing should be done, if central controller is installed then
the central control address also should be input.
in case that only transmission PCB is replaced above process is not needed
