Alarm code

Excessively low voltage or excessively high voltage for the inverter

• The RUN LED ickers and “ALARM” is displayed on the remote control switch.

• The unit number, the alarm code and the unit code are alternately displayed on the set temperature section.

• The unit number and the alarm code are displayed on the display of the outdoor unit PCB.

- This alarm code is displayed when the voltage between terminal “P” and “N” of Inverter is insufcient and the alarm

has three occurrences in 30 minutes. If the number of occurrences is smaller than two, the retry operation is per-

formed. The alarm code “06.” Means fan controller Abnormal Operation.
