Operations
UP and DOWN button : For item selection, or page up and down in
parameter inquiry mode, or increase and decrease the values in
parameter setting mode. Press and hold them more than 5s if you
want to adjust the values fast.
OK button : Confirm selection. Press and hold it for 3s, the device
will directly go to “Information Inquiry – Parameter Inquiry” function.
Back button : Back to upper menu. Press and hold it for 3s, the
device will go to the Primary Menu.
Connection Selector and Connection Ports : For selecting the
right connection and power supply to the detector.
(1) LNS : For high voltage connection with the 3-core cable with
white connector, the other side is to be connected to the terminal
of inverter outdoor unit.
(2) 5V : For low voltage connection with the 4-core cable with white
connector, the other side is to be connected to the TestPort on
main PCB of inverter outdoor unit.

Operation Instructions
ATTENTION!
Before commencing any tests, SWITCH-OFF ALL
POWER SOURCES and WAIT for a MINIMUM OF 3
MINUTES to allow all capacitor voltages to decay.
Before disconnecting of connecting any terminals,
check that all voltages are zero.
For LNS connection (Suitable for AC units with S
communication)
Connect this device to the void pins of outdoor wiring terminal with
LNS connection cable. Make the Connection selector to “LNS”.

Note:
1. For convenience, you can move some wires
from front pins to back pins so that you can
connect the device on the front pins.
Page 6
2. There is a clip inside the terminal of connection
wire. Always make the front side face you when
you insert the terminal into the pins. Or you
cannot press the clip when you want to put the
terminals out of the pins.
Clip
3. Watch the sequence of L, N and S when you
connect the device to the terminal.
Commu. Error Analysis
1. When the device is connected and powered on, it will carry out the
communication check automatically.
2. You may get any of below 3 feedbacks in about 40 seconds:
a). IDU commu. fault, please check the IDU and communication
wire;
b). ODU commu. fault, please check ODU and communication
wire;
c). Communication normal, Please press OK for information.
(When OK pressed, it will go to “Commu. Similation—Information
inquiry” directly)
Note: If you get c) result but E1 still shows, the indoor PCB is faulty
and need to be replaced.
3. If you want to check the communication again, go to “Commu.
Error Analysis—Online check”.
4. Self-check
This function is to ensure the communication check function of the
device is normal.
Disconnect S (only L, N connected) and turn on the A/C unit, select
“Commu. Error Analysis ----self-check”, you will get the feedback in
about 10 seconds.
Note: Self-check is unnecessary for each analysis.

Indoor Unit Simulator
In this mode, the device can work as an indoor unit. You can set
necessary parameters like values of room temperature senor T1, coil
temperature sensor T2, target running frequency of compressor,
mode, fan speed, even fault information and send them to outdoor
unit to change the working state of it.
Note: The communication cable S should be disconnected to the
indoor unit.
