Error Indicator
• This function indicates types of failure in self-diagnosis and occurrence of failure for air condition.
• Error mark is displayed on display window of indoor units and wired remote controller, and 7-segment LED of
outdoor unit control board as shown in the table.
•  If more than two troubles occur simultaneously, lower number of error code is first displayed.
• After error occurrence, if error is released, error LED is also released simultaneously.
Error Display
- 1st,2nd,3rd LED of 7-segment indicates error number, 4th LED indicates unit number. Indicates unit number.

• Although the quantity of indoor units installed is same as LGMV data there may be a few indoor units with which the
number of communication is not increased with LGMV
• Although the quantity of indoor units installed is not same as LGMV data, and if communication of the indoor unit dis-
played 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 communication cable or power cable
¡ fault of power / PCB / communication cable
¬ duplication of indoor unit number
• If communication 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.
