E0

Remote Controller Transmission Error (Main/Sub Unit)

Mitsubishi Electric · PUZ-HA30/36NHA4 Outdoor Unit

What does E0 mean?

A main or sub remote controller cannot receive transmissions from an indoor unit (refrigerant address '0') for 3 minutes, or a sub-remote controller cannot receive any signal for 3 minutes. Potential causes include contact failure or miswiring of the remote controller transmission wire, all remote controllers being set as 'sub', exceeding total wiring length (max 200m) or number of connected indoor units (max 16) or remote controllers (max 2), a defective transmitting/receiving circuit, or noise in the transmission wire.

Common Causes

  • Communication error between main and sub units in a multi-system configuration.
  • Faulty wiring between main and sub units.
  • Faulty control board on either the main or sub unit.
  • Communication bus interference.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check for disconnection or looseness of the indoor unit or remote controller transmission wire.

  2. 2

    Set one of the remote controllers as 'main'.

  3. 3

    Check remote controller wiring specifications: Total wiring length max 200m (do not use cable >= 0.75mm2), max 16 indoor units, max 2 remote controllers.

  4. 4

    Diagnose remote controllers: If 'RC OK' is displayed, turn power off/on; if abnormal again, replace indoor controller board. If 'RC NG' is displayed, replace the remote controller. If 'RC E3' or 'ERC 00-06' is displayed, noise may be causing abnormality.

  5. 5

    If the unit is not normal after replacing the indoor controller board in group control, the indoor controller board of address '0' may be abnormal.
