possible
When judgment mode is not engaged, the LED indicates the normal display (OFF), or else indicates alarms or
other information.
If the insufficient gas or overcharge judgment is not stable, then recover refrigerant a little at a time when the
overcharge display appears. End refrigerant adjustment when the normal or insufficient gas display appears.
(4) Canceling judgment mode
When judgment mode is cancelled, the LED returns to the standard status display (OFF unless an alarm or
other event has occurred).
[1] Automatic cancel
Judgment mode is canceled automatically when 4 hours have passed after it was started.
[2] Forced cancel
Short-circuit the CHECK pin while the judgment mode display is active in order to cancel judgment mode.
<Reference> General Guidelines for Insufficient Gas and Overcharge
Judgment in automatic judgment mode can be problematic in some cases. Therefore, the following guidelines
are provided for general judgment of the refrigerant amount.
• Symptoms of insufficient gas
There is an indoor unit where the position of the electronic control valve is much higher (open by
Cooling
300 pulses or more) than it was at start, and the difference [E3 – E1] at that indoor unit is large
operation
(30°F or more).
There is an outdoor unit where the position of the electronic control valve is much higher (open by
Heating
300 pulses or more) than it was at start, and the difference [Liquid temp. – Gas temp.] at that
operation
outdoor unit is large (30°F or more).
• Symptoms of overcharge
The high-pressure sensor temperature is 134°F or higher, and the difference [Pressure sensor
Cooling
temp. – Liquid temp.] at that outdoor unit is large (30°F or more).
operation
There is an indoor unit where the position of the electronic control valve is much higher (open by
Heating
300 pulses or more) than it was at start, and the difference [Pressure sensor temp. – E3] at that
operation
indoor unit is large (50°F or more).
These are only guidelines, therefore the judgment may vary depending on the installation conditions, load char-
acteristics, and other elements.
