(3) Investigation of transmission wave shape/noise
Control is performed by exchanging signals between outdoor unit, indoor unit and remote controller by M-NET
transmission. If noise should enter into the transmission line, the normal transmission will be hindered causing
erroneous operation.
1) Symptom caused by the noise entered into transmission line
Cause Erroneous operation Error code
Signal changes and is misjudged as the signal of other
address.
Transmission wave shape changes to other signal due to
noise.
Transmission wave shape changes due to noise, and can
not be received normally thus providing no reply (ACK).
Transmission can not be made continuously due to the
entry of fine noise.
Transmission can be made normally, but reply (ACK) or
answer can not be issued normally due to noise.
2) Method to confirm wave shape
Check the wave shape of transmission line with an oscilloscope to confirm that the following conditions are being
satisfied.
1 The figure should be 104µs/bit ± 1%.
2 No finer wave shape (noise) than the transmission signal (52µs ± 1%) should be allowed. *1
3 The sectional voltage level of transmission signal should be as follows.
*1 However, minute noise from the DC-DC converter or inverter operation may be picked up.
