11. TROUBLESHOOTING

11-1. Check before and after 

troubleshooting

11-1-1. Check power supply wiring.

 Check that power supply wires are correctly

connected to terminals No.1 and No.2 on the terminal
plate in the outdoor unit.

11-1-2. Check inter-unit wiring.

 Check that inter-unit wiring is correctly connected to

the indoor unit from the outdoor unit.

11-1-3. Check power supply.

 Check that voltage is in specified range 

(±10% of the rating).

 Check that power is being supplied.

11-1-4. Check lead wires and connectors in

indoor and outdoor units.

Check that coating of lead wires is not damaged.

Check that lead wires and connectors are firmly
connected.

Check that wiring is correct.
