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.

41. MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY
Logger Examples
IS18G050
Non-Ducted
MP indicates non-ducted(s) unit installed ONLY
