Abnormal point and detection method
Check code
Remote controller transmission
error(E3)/signal receiving error(E5)
1 Abnormal if remote controller could not
find blank of transmission path for 6 sec-
onds and could not transmit.
(Check code: E3)
2 Remote controller receives transmitted
data at the same time and compares the
received and transmitted data. Abnormal
E3
if these data are judged to be different
or
30 continuous times. (Check code: E3)
E5
1 Abnormal if indoor controller board could
not find blank of transmission path.
(Check code: E5)
2 Indoor controller board receives transmitted
data at the same time and compares the
received and transmitted data. Abnormal
if these data are judged to be different 30
continuous times. (Check code: E5)
Indoor/outdoor unit communication error
(Signal receiving error)
1 Abnormal if indoor controller board
cannot receive any signal normally for 6
minutes after turning the power on.
2 Abnormal if indoor controller board
cannot receive any signal normally for 3
minutes.
E6
3 Consider the unit abnormal under the fol-
lowing condition: When 2 or more indoor
units are connected to an
outdoor unit, indoor controller board
cannot receive a signal for 3 minutes
from outdoor controller circuit board, a
signal which allows outdoor controller cir-
cuit board to transmit signals.
Indoor/outdoor unit communication
error (Transmitting error)
Abnormal if "1" receiving is detected 30
E7
times continuously though indoor controller
board has transmitted "0".
Indoor controller board
Abnormal if data cannot be read normally
Fb
from the nonvolatile memory of the indoor
controller board.
Remote controller control board
1 Abnormal if data cannot be read nor-
mally from the nonvolatile memory of the
remote controller control board.
E1
(Check code: E1)
or
E2
2 Abnormal if the clock function of remote
controller cannot be operated normally.
(Check code: E2)
Abnormal refrigerant circuit
During Cooling, Dry, or Auto Cooling
operation, the following conditions are
regarded as failures when detected for 1
second.
a) The compressor continues to run for 30
PL
or more seconds.
b) The liquid pipe temperature or the
condense/evaporator temperature is
167°F [75°C] or more.
These detected errors will not be
cancelled until the power source is
reset.
OCH585
Cause
1 2 remote controllers are set as
"main."
(In case of 2 remote con-
trollers)
2 Remote controller is connected
with 2 indoor units or more.
3 Repetition of refrigerant
address
4 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of remote controller
5 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of indoor controller board
6 Noise has entered into transmis-
sion wire of remote controller.
1 Contact failure, short circuit or,
miswiring (converse wiring) of
indoor/outdoor unit connecting
wire
2 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of indoor controller board
3 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of indoor controller board
4 Noise has entered into indoor/
outdoor unit connecting wire.
1 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of indoor controller board
2 Noise has entered into power
supply.
3 Noise has entered into outdoor
control wire.
1 Defective indoor controller
board
1 Defective remote controller
Abnormal operation of 4-way
valve
Disconnection of or leakage in
refrigerant pipes
Air into refrigerant piping
Abnormal operation (no
rotation) of indoor fan
· Defective fan motor
· Defective indoor control board
Defective refrigerant circuit
(clogging)

Countermeasure
1 Set a remote controller to main, and the
other to sub.
2 Remote controller is connected with only one
indoor unit.
3 The address changes to a separate setting.
4–6 Diagnose remote controller.
a) When "RC OK" is displayed, remote con-
trollers have no problem.
Turn the power off,and on again to check.
When becoming abnormal again, replace
indoor controller board.
b) When "RC NG" is displayed, replace
remote controller.
c) When "RC E3" or "ERC 00-66" is dis-
played, noise may be causing abnormality.
Check LED display on the outdoor control
circuit board. (Connect A-control service
tool, PAC-SK52ST.)
Refer to outdoor unit service manual.
1 Check disconnection or looseness of indoor/
outdoor unit connecting wire of indoor unit or
outdoor unit.
Check all the units in case of twin triple
indoor unit system.
2–4 Turn the power off, and on again to check.
If abnormality generates again, replace
indoor controller board or outdoor
controller circuit board.
Note: Other indoor controller board may have
defect in the case of twin triple indoor
unit system.
1–3 Turn the power off, and on again to check.
If abnormality generates again, replace
indoor controller board.
1 Replace indoor controller board.
1 Replace remote controller.
When this error occurs, be sure to
replace the 4-way valve.
Check refrigerant pipes for disconnection or
leakage.
After the recovery of refrigerant, vacuum
dry the whole refrigerant circuit.
Refer to 9-6-2. DC fan motor (fan motor/
indoor controller circuit board .
Check refrigerant circuit for operation.
To avoid entry of moisture or air into
refrigerant circuit which could cause
abnormal high pressure, purge air in
refrigerant circuit or replace refrigerant.
