• Comparing the Low Pressure Sensor Measurement and Gauge Pressure

By configuring the digital display setting switch (SW1) as shown in the figure below, the pressure as measured by the low
pressure sensor appears on the LED1 on the control board.

The figure at left shows that the switches 1 through 4 are set to ON and 5 through 8 are set to OFF.

(1) While the outdoor unit is stopped, compare the gauge pressure and the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1, 2.
1) When the gauge pressure is between 0 and 0.098 MPaG [14 PSIG], internal pressure is caused due to gas leak.
2) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1, 2 is between 0 and 0.098 MPaG [14 PSIG], the connector may be
defective or be disconnected. Check the connector and go to (4).
3) When the outdoor temperature is 30°C [86°F] or less, and the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1, 2 exceeds 1.7
MPaG [247 PSIG], go to (3).
When the outdoor temperature exceeds 30°C [86°F], and the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1, 2 exceeds 1.7
MPaG [247 PSIG], go to (5).
4) If other than 1), 2) or 3), compare the pressures while the sensor is running. Go to (2).
(2) Compare the gauge pressure and the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1, 2 after 15 minutes have passed
since the start of operation. (Compare them by MPaG [PSIG] unit.)
1) When the difference between both pressures is within 0.2 MPaG [29 PSIG ], both the low pressure sensor and the control
board are normal.
2) When the difference between both pressures exceeds 0.2 MPaG [29 PSIG], the low pressure sensor has a problem. (per-
formance deterioration)
3) When the pressure displayed on the self-diagnosis LED1, 2 does not change, the low pressure sensor has a problem.
(3) Remove the low pressure sensor from the control board to check the pressure with the self-diagnosis LED1, 2 display.
1) When the pressure displayed on the self-diagnosis LED1,2 is between 0 and 0.098 MPaG [14 PSIG], the low pressure
sensor has a problem.
2) When the pressure displayed on self-diagnosis LED1, 2 is approximately 1.7 MPaG [247 PSIG], the control board has a problem.
(4) Remove the low pressure sensor from the control board, and short-circuit between the pin 2 and pin 3 connectors
(63LS) to check the pressure with the self-diagnosis LED1, 2.
1) When the pressure displayed on the self-diagnosis LED1, 2 exceeds 1.7 MPaG [247 PSIG], the low pressure sensor has a problem.
2) If other than 1), the control board has a problem.
(5) Remove the high pressure sensor (63HS) from the control board, and insert it into the connector for the low pres-
sure sensor (63LS) to check the pressure with the self-diagnosis LED1, 2.
1) When the pressure displayed on the self-diagnosis LED1, 2 exceeds 1.7 MPaG [247 PSIG], the control board has a problem.
2) If other than 1), go to (2).

• Low Pressure Sensor Configuration (63LS)

The low pressure sensor consists of the circuit shown in the figure below. If 5 V DC is applied between the red and the black
wires, voltage corresponding to the pressure between the white and the black wires will be output, and the value of this volt-
age will be converted by the microprocessor. The output voltage is 0.173 V per 0.098 MPaG [14 PSIG].
Note: The pressure sensor on the body side is designed to connect to the connector. The connector pin number on the body
side is different from that on the control board side.
