Turn the power ON while the i-See sensor connector is connected to the CN4Z on indoor
controller board. A communication between the indoor controller board and i-See sensor
board is made to detect the connection.
Normal: When the operation starts, the motor for i-See sensor is driven to rotate the i-See sensor.
Abnormal: The motor for i-See sensor is not driven when the operation starts.
Note: The voltage between the terminals cannot be measured accurately since it is pulse output.

1 Check if the drain float switch works properly.
2 Check if the drain pump works and drains water properly in cooling operation.
3 If no water drains, confirm that the check code P5 will not be displayed 10 minutes after the
operation starts.
Note: The drain pump for this model is driven by the internal DC motor of controller board, so it is not
possible to measure the resistance between the terminals.
Normal
Red–Black: Input 13 V DC → The motor starts to rotate.
Purple–Black: Abnormal (check code P5) if it outputs 0–13 V square wave (5 pulses/rotation),
and the number of rotation is not normal.
