Safety
Electricity power is still kept in capacitors even the power supply is shut off. Do not forget to discharge the electricity
power in capacitor.
Electrolytic Capacitors
(HIGH VOLTAGE! CAUTION!)
For other models, please connect discharge resistance (approx.100Ω 40W) or soldering iron (plug) between +, -
terminals of the electrolytic capacitor on the contrary side of the outdoor PCB.
Note: The picture above is only for reference. The plug of your side may be different.
23
*P3
1) In heating mode, when the outdoor temperature is lower than -25℃ for 1 hour, the indoor unit
display error code P3.
2) If the outdoor temperature is higher than -22℃ for 10 minutes and compressor stop for 1 hour or
outdoor temperature is higher than -5℃ for 10 minutes, then the unit will return to work.
* Fault Symptom: The display board shows a garbled code or a code that is not an error code found
in the service manual nor a temperature reading.
Trouble shooting:
Use the remote controller. If the unit does not respond to the remote, the indoor PCB needs to be
replaced; if the unit does respond, then the display board needs to be replaced.

with capacitor.
The normal value should be around zero
ohm. Otherwise, the reactor must have
malfunction.

Power on ,and check if the fan can run normally, if the fan can run normally, the PCB must has
problems and need to be replaced, If the fan can’t run normally, measure the resistance of each two
pins. If the resistance is not equal to each other, the fan motor must have problems and need to be
replaced, otherwise the PCB must has problems and need to be replaced.
Power on and set the unit running in fan mode at high fan speed. After running for 15 seconds,
measure the voltage of pin1 and pin2. If the value of the voltage is less than 100V(208~240V power
