When indoor fan motor is out of order or compressor lock occurs, the compressor, inddor fan motor, outdoor fan
motor, and louver are all stopped and the operation LED(red) turns on or off syncronously with the timimg of the
timer LED.
When the thermistor for room temperature or pipe temperature is open or short state, the operation LED turns on
or off syncronously with the timing of the timer LED by pushing continously for more than three seconds both

In this mode, the output of operation is switched by the "TEST RUN" button in the unit or the "OI" button in
the remote controller. Use the "AUX." button to back to step 1. Normal outputs are shown in Table H-5.
