14.4.16 F90 (Power Factor Correction Protection)
Malfunction Decision Conditions
• During startup and operation of cooling and heating, when Power Factor Correction (PFC) protection circuitry at
the outdoor unit main PCB senses abnormal high DC voltage level.
Malfunction Caused
• DC voltage peak due to power supply surge.
• DC voltage peak due to compressor windings not uniform.
• Faulty outdoor PCB.
