Temporary Solution
Shut off the power supply and turn on it 5s later
Turn off the power supply, after 1 minute, connect the
power supply , turn on the unit with remote controller
Turn off the power supply and turn on it again 5 seconds
later
Shut off the power supply and turn on it 5s later
Check the connections between the sensors and the PCB.
Are the connections good?
Check whether the connections between outdoor PCB
and IPM are good?
Is the power supply good?
Does compressor operate?
Is the connection of compressor good? Is the wiring
sequence right? The voltage range proper?
