G Check of outdoor thermistors Disconnect the connector of thermistor in the inverter P.C. board (see below table), and measure the resistance of thermistor. Replace the thermistor except RT64. Is the resistance of thermistor normal? When RT64 is abnormal, replace the inverter P.C. (Refer to 10-6.1.) board.
Page 33
H Check of R.V. coil NTXSPF09A112AA NTXSPF12A112AA First of all, measure the resistance of R.V. coil to check if the coil is defective. Refer to 10-4. In case CN721 is disconnected or R.V. coil is open, voltage is generated between the terminal pins of the connector although no signal is being transmitted to R.V.
Page 34
I Check of outdoor fan motor Disconnect the connectors CN931 and CN932 from the inverter P.C. board. Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932. Is the resistance between each ter- minal of outdoor fan motor normal? (Refer to 10-4.) Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C.

First, release RESET button. Hold down the other 2 buttons for another 3 seconds.
Page 37
L Check of inverter P.C. board Check the outdoor fan motor. (Refer to 10-5. .) Is the fuse (F901) blown on the in- verter P.C. board? Check the connection of the connectors (CN931, CN932) of the outdoor fan motor. If the connection is poor, make it correct. Operate the outdoor unit by starting EMERGENCY OPERATION.
Page 38
M How to check miswiring and serial signal error Turn OFF the power supply. Is there rated voltage in the power supply? Check the power supply. Turn ON the power supply. Check the wiring. Is there rated voltage between the outdoor terminal block S1 and S2? Press EMERGENCY OPERATION switch once.
Page 39
N Check of defrost heater Check the following points before checking electric continuity. 1. Does the resistance of ambient temperature thermistor have the characteristics? Refer to 10-6.1. 2. Is the resistance of defrost heater normal? Refer to 10-4. 3. Does the heater protector remain conducted (not open)? 4.
