3. Backup Operation
This system includes an emergency automatic backup function that allows the A/C to operate during the period
after trouble occurs until repairs are made. However, during repair and at other times, use manual backup operation.
3-1. Automatic Backup Operation for Compressor
For details, refer to the control functions section.
After the alarm details are sent to the control device, control for automatic backup operation begins when the
ON/OFF button of the wired remote controller is pressed again (operation is started after the alarm is cleared).
During this operating mode, "CHECK" flashes on the wired remote controller only to inform the user that operation
is in backup mode. However this is not displayed on any other control devices.
• In order to cancel automatic backup mode, it is necessary to reset the power on the control PCB of the outdoor
unit where the outdoor unit No. setting (S007) on the control PCB is set to No. 1 (main unit).
(It is also available by resetting power of all the outdoor units.)
CAUTION
Backup operation is intended as emergency operation until repairs are made. Have repairs made as soon as possible.
