LED Fault/Condition Code (Indoor Display PCB)
* In the event of a complete shutdown or an operational control adjustment the indoor LED display PCB will illustrate the relevant condition/fault code.
LED Flash Code Sequence Description (Outdoor PCB)
* In the event of a complete shutdown or an operational control adjustment the outdoor PCB Green, Red, Orange & Yellow LED’s remain Off, Flash or remain On to indicate a fault or Condition code sequence.

Green-D5 LED: Outdoor unit, On.
* Normal Communication & Normal Operation.
Red-D6 LED: Outdoor unit, On.
* Normal Communication & Normal Operation.
Orange-D16 LED: Outdoor unit, On.
* Normal Communication & Normal Operation.
Yellow-D5 LED: Outdoor unit, On.
* Normal Communication & Normal Operation.
Not Operating
* Check the wiring configuration from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. Is it wired up correctly in accordance to the wiring diagrams provided on both indoor & outdoor units?
* Try operating the unit by the forced operations button: By pressing the button once, the unit will activate in Auto mode. Pressing it twice will turn the unit off.
* If the unit can be operated by the forced operations button, check the remote controller.
* If the unit can be operated by the forced operations button while there is no indoor LED display, replace the display PCB assembly.
* If the unit cannot be operated by the use of the remote control or the forced operation button, check for supply voltages.
* Check for supply voltage at the following points:
From the isolation switch to the Active-In & Neutral connector points located on the indoor PCB.
If supply power is available at the above points, yet the unit can still not be operated by the remote control or the forced operation button, replace the indoor PCB.
Diagnostic Display Mode Description
Built into the software for models: KSV53HRE, KSV62HRE, KSV70CRE/HRE & KSV80HRE are two different diagnostic methods: (Fault Codes & Condition Codes) that can be used to help diagnose various faults.
These two diagnostic types are described in the following:

Note: Where there is a referral to (Remote Control Access – 4)
* This indicates the need to use the remote controller to view the relevant fault code.
This is achieved by pressing the “Light” button 4 times within three seconds.
Note: Where there is a referral to (Remote Control Access – 5)
* This indicates the need to use the remote controller to initiate a selected “Test State”.
This is achieved by pressing the “Light” button 5 times within three seconds.

* Check for DC voltage at the following points:
> Turn the power off at the isolation switch then disconnect the Signal Wire off the indoor terminal block.
> With the Signal Wire disconnected, turn the unit back on and leave it in “standby mode”.
> With a multimeter, test the DC output from the signal wire connecting to the indoor unit & earth.
> If the meter reads a low stable voltage, the indoor PCB should be okay.
> Then by using the same method, test the output signal on the terminal block from the outdoor PCB & earth.
> If the meter reads a pulsing voltage in the low 50's, the outdoor PCB should be okay.
> If the meter reads 0 DC volts, this would indicate the PCB in question is faulty.
Note: If both indoor & outdoor PCB’s appear okay, continue to the following page.
* Disconnect the main power supply to the indoor unit by means of the isolation switch. After approximately one minute, turn the power supply back on & attempt to operate the unit in “Auto” mode with a set temperature of two degrees above or below the ambient temperature.
If the Communication fault has not cleared:
* Check for DC voltage at the following points on the outdoor PCB, while in Standby Mode.
Note: The following DC voltage check can only be conducted within a 5 minute time frame, as supply power to the outdoor PCB will be cut 5 minutes after initial power up.
> Between the Negative & Positive points of the capacitor.
Note: Voltage range should be: (+/- 15%) 53V-DC.
Relevant DC voltage test points.
Note: These voltage points are located at the bottom right hand side of the outdoor PCB.
If the Communication fault has not cleared:
* Check for supply voltage at the following points.
> Between the Active -Out & Neutral points on the indoor PCB.
> Between the Active & Neutral points on the indoor terminal block.
> Between the Active & Neutral points on the outdoor terminal block.
> Between the Active & Neutral solder points on the outdoor PCB.
* Disconnect the supply power & check the continuity of the communication wire from the following points:
> Communication terminal point on the indoor PCB.
> To the communication terminal points on the indoor terminal block.
> To the communication terminal points on the outdoor terminal block.
> To the communication solder point on the outdoor PCB.
Note: When checking the continuity between the indoor terminal block & the outdoor terminal block, disconnect the Communication & Active wires on the indoor terminal block, and then attach them together. This will create a circuit that can then be tested between the Communication & Active terminal points on the outdoor terminal block.
Note: If the Active, Neutral & Communication supply voltage & continuity checks are okay, yet E6 fault code still exists, replace the outdoor PCB.

* If there is an open circuit reading from any of these points then check the following:
> Measure the resistance value from the spade terminals on the compressor.
> Check the “three point plug” located on the harness that runs between the main outdoor PCB & the compressor.
Note: The resistance value should be the same across any terminal combination.
* If all resistance checks are okay, yet Lc fault still exists, replace the outdoor PCB.

> Positive to Comp-V = Open Circuit.
> Positive to Comp-W = Open Circuit.
Note: All the above resistance readings should read Open circuit.
Note: If any of the above readings are a Short circuit, replace the outdoor PCB.
* While the unit is in operation mode (Heating or Cooling), check the DC output on the outdoor
PCB D15-Diode, as illustrated below.
> D15-Diode = 15V-DC.
