Apparatus and method for monitoring state information in trial run mode of multi-airconditioner
First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring state information in a trial run mode of a multi-airconditioning system in which a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit, comprising:
- a trial-run-mode controller for automatically detecting poor installation of the multi-airconditioning system, controlling individual on/off operations of the indoor units at a remote site, and detecting temperature information of individual pipes contained in the outdoor unit and a device state of the outdoor unit; and
a control input &
state display unit which is connected to the trial-run-mode controller, enters control signals capable of performing control and monitoring operations of the trial run mode executed after the multi-airconditioning system has been installed, and outputs information associated with the control signals.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for monitoring state information in a trial run mode of a multi-airconditioning system in which a plurality of indoor units are controlled by only one outdoor unit is disclosed. The apparatus and method connects a dedicated controller to the outdoor unit in a trial run mode of the multi-airconditioning system, such that it controls the indoor units and monitors state information of the indoor and outdoor units. The apparatus includes a trial-run-mode controller and a control input & state display unit. The trial-run-mode controller connected to the outdoor unit includes a trial-run-mode program for automatically detecting poor installation of the multi-airconditioning system. The control input & state display unit is connected to the trial-run-mode controller, enters control signals capable of performing control and monitoring operations of the trial run mode executed after the multi-airconditioning system has been installed, and outputs information associated with the control signals.

8. A method for monitoring state information in a trial run mode of a multi-airconditioning system in which a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit, comprising the steps of:
-
a) connecting a trial-run-mode controller to the outdoor unit when the multi-airconditioning system is installed, and performing a trial-run-mode program;
b) initiating the trial run mode, controlling individual operations of the indoor and outdoor units, monitoring operation states of the indoor and outdoor units, and automatically detecting poor installation of the multi-airconditioning system; and
c) displaying information indicating whether the multi-airconditioning system is normally installed, whereby installation and operation states of the multi-airconditioning system are monitored. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
