However, when the indoor unit binding application 74d and the database 74e are transplanted to the air conditioning controller 3 and the switch button 16 is pressed by a service engineer or the like, the serial number data stored in the first EEPROM 25 is transmitted to the air conditioning controller 3. It may be. In such a case, the engineering computer 7 becomes unnecessary. That is, the service engineer determines the order of the indoor units 20 to be circulated in advance in the air conditioning controller 3 and arranges the installation position data in that order. And the service engineer etc. pushes the switch button 16 of the indoor unit 20 in the order. At this time, if the indoor unit binding application 74d associates the transmitted serial number data with the installation position data in order from the top, the same effect as the indoor unit association support system according to the first embodiment is obtained.

In such a case, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, the dedicated communication address unique to each indoor unit 20 and the installation position data are associated with each other.

In FIG. 15, in step S <b> 11, the second RAM 32 reads a dedicated communication address from the second EEPROM 35 in accordance with an instruction from the second control unit 31 </ b> A.
In step S <b> 12, the second control unit 31 </ b> A requests the indoor unit 20 corresponding to the communication dedicated address stored in the second RAM 32 to transmit serial number data.
In step S <b> 13, the first communication circuit 26 of the indoor unit 20 corresponding to the dedicated communication address transmits the serial number data stored in the first EEPROM 25 to the air conditioning controller 3 in accordance with an instruction from the first control unit.

In step S14, the second I / O control unit 33 receives the serial number data transmitted from the first communication circuit 26 according to the second control unit 31A and temporarily stores it in the second RAM 32.
In step S15, the second calculation unit 31B acquires the serial number data and the communication dedicated address stored in step S11 from the second RAM 32 in accordance with the instruction of the second control unit 31A.

In step S16, the second calculation unit 31B refers to “serial number data and installation position data associated with each other” stored in the second EEPROM 35 in accordance with an instruction from the second control unit 31A, and in step S15. Installation position data corresponding to the acquired serial number data is derived.
In step S17, the second calculation unit 31B associates the installation position data derived in step S16 with the dedicated communication address stored in the second RAM 32 in step S11 in accordance with the instruction from the second control unit 31A in the second EEPROM 35. save.
