TROUBLESHOOTING
“RUN” light flickers and “ALARM” is indicated on the remote control switch.
The unit No., alarm code and the unit code is alternately indicated on the set temperature section,
and the unit No. and alarm code are indicated on the display of the outdoor unit PCB.
This alarm is indicated when the following conditions occurs three times within one hour;
(1) The temperature of the thermistor on the top of the compressor is maintained higher than 132
°
C
for 10 minutes, or (2) The temperature of the thermistor on the top of the compressor is maintained
higher than 140
°
C for 5 seconds.
