9-5. Noise Malfunction and Electromagnetic Interference

An inverter A/C operates using pulse signal control and high frequencies. Therefore, it is susceptible to the effects of external noise, and is likely to cause electromagnetic interference with nearby wireless devices.

A noise filter is installed for ordinary use, preventing these problems. However, depending on the installation conditions, these effects may still occur. Please pay attention to the points listed below.

(1) Noise malfunction

This refers to the application of high-frequency noise to the signal wires, resulting in abnormal signal pulses and malfunction.
