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
• 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
• 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
