8. Master Unit Setting DIP Switch (SA8_MASTER-S) 
The master unit setting DIP switch (SA8_MASTER-S) defines module management of a system. A 
master unit must be  set, and only one  master  unit can be  set in each  refrigerating system (in 
power-off status). The setting methods are as follows: 
Master Unit Setting DIP Switch 
(SA8_MASTER-S) 
Upon factory departure, all modules are in ―00‖ master unit status by default. When multiple modules are 
connected in  parallel, only one module retains the master  unit status and other modules are set  to 
sub-module status. When a module is independently used, it uses the factory settings. 
For the basic module set to master unit, the module address is displayed as ―01‖ on the main board. 
Precautions: 
A. When the DIP switch setting is not covered in the above scope, a DIP switch setting exception fault 
may occur. 
B. A module must be set to master unit status, and only one module can be set to master unit status in 
each refrigerating system. Other modules are set to sub-module status. 
C. Settings must be performed in power-off status. 
D. The default factory setting is "00" master unit status. 
9. DIP Switch Example 
A. Explanation of DIP switch positions 
On the DIP switch, ―ON‖ indicates ―0‖ status and the opposite direction indicates "1‖ status.   
The position of white lever indicates the position to be set to. 
 
B. Example 
The following takes master unit settings as an example. Assume that a system consists of three modules: 
module  a,  module  b,  and  module  c.  Set  module  c  to  master  unit  and  the  other  two  modules  to 
sub-modules. The settings are as follows: 
 
(II) System Function Button Operations 
Module a/Module b (Sub-module) 
 
Note:  System function settings and query must be performed after commissioning of the entire unit. 
 System function settings and query can be used no matter whether the entire unit runs. 
1. Introduction to Function Buttons 
The main board AP1 of the ODU consists of eight function buttons:
