CAUTION In quiet or stop operation, slight flowing noise of refrigerant in the refrigerating cycle is heard occasionally, but this noise is not abnormal for the operation. When it thunders near by, it is recommend to stop the operation and turn off the circuit break er for safety. In the event of power failure,the room air conditioner will restare automatically in the previously selected mode once the power is restored.

DESCRIPTION OF MAIN CIRCUIT OPERATION RAK-35RPC,RAK-50RPC 1. Control power circuit Switching power circuit Fig. 1-1 ・ An AC power supply from outdoor unit passes through the 3.15 A fuse, varistor (VA001), and noise filter circuit and rectified and smoothed by DB1 and C003 to become a DC current 325 V. It is then supplied to indoor fan motor drive circuit,and switching power circuit.

Caution The indoor fan motor and drive circuit are connected to the primary power supply. They therefore have voltage to ground. Guard against electric shocks. Caution While the product is energized, do not under any circumstances detach or reattach a connector. Any such practice would cause a high voltage to run, resulting in the indoor fan motor and board circuit being destroyed.
