[3] Investigation of Transmission Wave Shape/Noise
1. M-NET transmission
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.

(2) Method to confirm wave shape
[With transmission]
[Without transmission]
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.
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.
