 Temporary Solution
Shut off the power supply and turn on it 5s later

Turn off the power supply, after 1 minute, connect the

power supply , turn on the unit with remote controller

Turn off the power supply and turn on it again 5 seconds

later

Shut off the power supply and turn on it 5s later

Check the connections between the sensors and the PCB.

Are the connections good?

Check whether the connections between outdoor PCB

and IPM are good?

Is the power supply good?

Does compressor operate?

Is the connection of compressor good? Is the wiring

sequence right? The voltage range proper?
