  Diagnose remote controller.

 

Take actions as follows according to 
diagnosis result.

a) When “RC OK” is displayed,

remote controllers have no problem. 
Turn the power off, and on again to 
check. If, “PLEASE WAIT” is displayed 
for 4 minutes or more, replace indoor 
controller board.

b) When “RC NG” is displayed,

replace remote controller.

c) When “RC E3” or “ERC 00-66” is dis-

played, noise may be causing abnor-
mality.

1

 Open stop valve.

2

 Check facility of power supply.

3

 Correct the wiring (U·V·W phase) to com-

pressor. Refer to 9-7.

4

 Check indoor/outdoor fan.

5

 Solve short cycle.

6

 Replace outdoor controller circuit board.

7

 Check compressor. Refer to 9-6.

W

 Before the replacement of the outdoor con-

troller circuit board, disconnect the wiring for 
compressor from the outdoor power circuit 
board and check the output voltage among 
phases, U, V, W, during test run. No defect on 
board if voltage among phases (U-V, V-W and 
W-U) is same. Make sure to perform the volt-
age check with same performing frequency.
