Malfunction Caused

Operation stops due to short circuit inside the fan motor winding.

Operation stops due to breaking of wire inside the fan motor.

Operation stops due to breaking of fan motor lead wires.


Troubleshooting
When abnormality indication starts again.
Turn off power supply and rotate fan by hand.
Does fan rotate smoothly?
Turn power supply on and operate fan.
Does it rotate?
Turn off power supply and disconnect fan motor connector,
then turn power on.
Check the output of fan motor from outdoor PCB.
Is the motor power supply voltage ~325Vdc (pin 7 & 4)
generated?
Is the motor control voltage 15Vdc (pin 3 & 4) generated?
Operate the fan, is the rotation command voltage 1~5Vdc (pin 2
& 4) generated?
YES
NO
YES
For safety reason and to prevent
component breakdown, always switch
off the power before remove and
connect the component.
NO
