- At outdoor unit, enter installer setup by pressing and holding the K1 and K2 buttons on main PCB.
- Press K1 repeatedly (K1 2X for ECO and 3X for DVM) until display shows NC on the lefthand screen as shown in image below.
- Press and hold "K4" to auto detect MCU units.
- Verify it displays the correct number of MCU's?
- If yes, press and hold K2 to save.
- If not, run temp wire from condenser direct to MCU and try steps 5-7 again.
- If outdoor unit still does not display correct number of MCU's, replace Main PCB on MCU that is displaying E210 error code.
