Diagnostics For real-time operation information and diagnostics, we have developed a software program. This program is included in the ZIP folder downloaded from tech.unicosystem.com The file name is dependent on which outdoor unit is installed and if the indoor unit(s) are non-ducted, ducted, or a combination of both.
MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY Logger Examples IS18G050 Non-Ducted MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY
MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY Logger Examples IS24G065 Non-Ducted MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY
MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY Logger Examples IS30G080 or IS36G110 Non-Ducted MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY
Logger Examples IS18G050 Ducted SDHV MUST be selected if a ducted unit is installed regardless if NON-DUCTED is installed on the same outdoor unit IS18G050 Ducted
Launch the Logger Open the Logger Program by double clicking the appropriate file. Remember, each unit has a specific logger program.
Set COM Port Use the drop-down menu to select the proper COM port. Identify the COM port through Device Manager discussed earlier in the presentation.
