  • the power monitoring unit 272 is constituted by a relay having two contacts in the above-mentioned embodiment, the power monitoring unit 272 may be configured by any other form so long as it has a function of allowing the MCU242 of the indoor controller 24 to detect presence or absence of the power supply from the commercial power source 201 to the indoor controller 24 and a function of controlling presence and absence of the power supply to the second power source circuit 271 on the basis of presence or absence of the power supply from the commercial power source 201 to the indoor controller 24.
  • the power monitoring unit 272 may consist of a combination of a photo-coupler with an electric logic circuit, which can execute these two functions on the basis of presence or absence of the electric power inputted from the commercial power source 201 through the breaker 202.
