cut-out operates 2 consecutive times.
Lighted 7 times A short or open circuit is detected in the
current sensor during compressor operating.
Current sensor protection cut-out operates 2
consecutive times.
5 times Not Zero cross signal cannot be detected while the
lighted compressor is operating.
The protection cut-out of the zero cross
detecting circuit operates 10 consecutive
times.
5 times Not A failure is detected in the operation of the
lighted converter during operation.
5 times Not The bus-bar voltage exceeds 400V or falls to
lighted 200V or below during compressor operating.
6 times Not The bus-bar voltage exceeds 400V or falls to
lighted 50V or below during compressor operating.
Lighted Lighted The indoor unit detects an abnormality
in the LEV and drain pump.
