High voltage protec
tion
All system functions are
terminated.
S
Check input voltage on outdoor unit
terminal strip (N and L terminals).
S
If voltage is higher than 265VAC,
disconnect power to unit. Correct
input voltage problem before reap
plying power to system.
S
If voltage is below 265VAC, then
check capacitor while unit is turned
off.
S
If voltage is between 200-208V, ca
pacitor is working properly
S
If voltage is some other value, re
place capacitor.
S
If input voltage and capacitor are
normal, replace outdoor control.

If voltage is lower than 150VAC,
restart system and check power
again.
