How To Diagnose The Trouble - Toshiba RAS-2M10G3AVG-E Service Manual

The pulse modulating circuits are mounted to both indoor and outdoor units.
Therefore, diagnose troubles according to the trouble diagnosis procedure as described below.
(Refer to the check points in servicing written on the wiring diagrams attached to the indoor/outdoor units.)

NOTE
A large-capacity electrolytic capacitor is used in the
outdoor unit controller (inverter). Therefore, if the
power supply is turned off, charge (charging voltage
DC280V to 373V) remains and discharging takes a lot of
time (for more than 5 minutes). After turning off the
power source, if touching the charging section before
discharging, an electrical shock may be caused.
Discharge the electrolytic capacitor completely by
using solder iron, etc.
< Discharging method >
1. Remove the inverter cover (plating) by opening four mounting claws.
2. As shown below, connect the discharge resistance (approx. 100Ω40W) or plug of the soldering iron to
voltage between + – terminals of the C09, C10 ("WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK" is indicated.)
electrolytic capacitor (760µF/400V) on P.C. board, and then perform discharging.

The electrolytic capacitor may not normally discharge
according to error contents and the voltage may remain.
Therefore, be sure to discharge the capacitor.
For discharging, never use a screwdriver and others
for short-circuiting between + and – electrodes,
As the electrolytic capacitor is one with a large
capacity, it is very dangerous because a large electric
spark will occur.
