11. HOW TO DIAGNOSE THE TROUBLE
The pulse modulating circuits are mounted to both indoor and outdoor units.
Therefore, diagnose troubles according to the trouble diagnosis procedure as described below.
(Refer to the check points in servicing written on the wiring diagrams attached to the indoor/outdoor units.)
Fig. 11-1
NOTE
A large-capacity electrolytic capacitor is used in the
outdoor unit controller (inverter). Therefore, if the
power supply is turned off, charge (charging voltage
DC280V to 373V) remains and discharging takes a lot of
time (for more than 5 minutes). After turning off the
power source, if touching the charging section before
discharging, an electrical shock may be caused.
Discharge the electrolytic capacitor completely by
using solder iron, etc.
WARNING
The electrolytic capacitor may not normally discharge
according to error contents and the voltage may remain.
Therefore, be sure to discharge the capacitor.
WARNING
For discharging, never use a screwdriver and others
for short-circuiting b and – electrodes,
As the electrolytic capacitor is one with a large
capacity, it is very dangerous because a large electric
spark will occur.
<Discharging method>
Connect the discharge resistance (approx. 100
Ω
/40W)
or plug of the soldering iron to voltage b
and – of C13 on the main P.C. board MCC-1571, and
then perform discharging.
