#Check the outdoor LED light code configuration.
During “Standby” conditions the LED’s work in this sequence:
LED 1 (Yellow) is FLASHING at 1 Hz
LED 5 (Red) is OFF
LED 6 (Green) is ON
During “Normal Operating” conditions the LED’s work in this sequence:

LED 6 (Green) is OFF
During “E1” fault the LED’s work in this sequence:
LED 1 (Yellow) is FLASHING at 5 Hz
LED 5 (Red) is OFF
LED 6 (Green) is ON.
Note: If the outdoor PCB is in the E1 fault sequence, this would indicate there is a potential fault with
the indoor main PCB.
If the indoor main PCB has been replaced and the E1 fault still exists or there is no LED light sequence
available on the outdoor main PCB, check all the wiring connection points, as previously illustrated, on
the main outdoor PCB in conjunction with the wiring diagram. If all wiring connection points are okay,
this would indicate the outdoor main PCB has failed & would also need to be replaced.
