1.The input voltage should be rating voltage ±10% range.
The air conditioner may not operate properly if the voltage is out of this range.
2.Is the link cable linking the indoor unit and the outdoor unit linked properly? The indoor unit and the outdoor unit shall be linked by 4 wires.
2 wires are for power and other 2 wires are for communication, total 4 wires on each indoor unit.
