Error Code Abnormal point and detection method
(1) High discharging temperature
Abnormal if compressor temperature
thermistor (TH4) exceeds 125: or
110: continuously for 5 minutes.
Abnormal if pressure detected by high
pressure sensor and converted to satu-
ration temperature exceeds 40: during
defrosting and compressor temperature
thermistor (TH4) exceeds 110:.
(2) Refrigerant shortage abnormality
1 When the conditions of below detecting
mode 1 or 2 are satisfied (1st detec-
tion) during the compressor operation,
the compressor stops and restarts
operation in 3 minutes.
<Detecting mode 1>
When the below conditions are satisfied
completely.
1. Compressor is operating in HEAT
mode.
2. Discharge superheat is 70; or more.
3. Difference of outer temperature
thermistor (TH7) and outdoor piping
temp. thermistor (TH3) applies to the
formula of (TH7-TH3)<5;.
4. High-pressure sensor is below about
U2
2.04MPa.
(1102)
<Detecting mode 2>
When the below conditions are satisfied
completely.
1. Compressor is operating.
2. When cooling, discharge superheat
is 80; or more.
When heating, discharge superheat
is 90; or more.
High pressure sensor is below about
2.32MPa.
2 When the conditions of detecting mode
1 and 2 are satisfied again (2nd
detection) within 30 minutes since
the compressor has stopped, it stops
abnormally. In this time, <U2> is dis-
played.
3 When the conditions of detecting mode
1 and 2 are satisfied again after 30
minutes since the compressor has
stopped (1st time), it becomes the 1st
detection and same performance as
above 1.
4 It is being delay for abnormal stop dur-
ing 30 minutes since the compressor
has stopped. In this time, check delay
code <U2> will be displayed.
Open/short circuit of compressor
temperature thermistor (TH4)
Abnormal if open (3: or less) or short
(217: or more) is detected during com-
pressor operation.
(Detection is inoperative for 10 minutes
of compressor starting process and for 10
U3
minutes after and during defrosting.)

Case
1 Overheated compressor opera-
tion caused by shortage of
refrigerant
2 Defective operation of stop
valve
3 Defective thermistor
4 Defective outdoor controller
board
5 Defective action of linear
expansion valve
1 Gas leakage, Gas shortage
2 When heating operation, scant
refrigerant operation
(When heating, airflow or ther-
mo OFF are mixed-operation,
it cause a refrigerant shortage
operation.)
3 Ball valve performance failure
(Not fully opened.)
4 Error detection of discharge
super heat
1) High-pressure sensor defec-
tive
2) Discharge temperature ther-
mistor defective
3) Thermistor input circuit
defective and high-pressure
sensor defective in multi
controller board
5 Error detection of TH7/TH3
1) Thermistor defective
2) Thermistor input circuit
defective in multi controller
board
1 Disconnection or contact failure
of connector (TH4) on the out-
door controller circuit board
2 Defective thermistor
3 Defective outdoor controller
circuit board

Judgment and action
1 Check intake superheat.
Check leakage of refrigerant.
Charge additional refrigerant.
2 Check if stop valve is fully open.
34 Turn the power off and check if U3 is dis-
played when the power is turned on again.
When U3 is displayed, refer to "Judgement
and action" for U3.
5 Check linear expansion valve.
Refer to 8-6.
1 Check the refrigerant amount.
2 Check the operation condition and refrigerant
amount.
3 Check the ball valve is fully opened.
4 1) Check the ball valve is fully opened.
2) Check the resistance of discharge tem-
perature thermistor.
3) According to "Monitoring function for out-
door unit", set the SW2 and check the
high-pressure sensor level.
According to "Monitoring function for outdoor
unit", set the SW2 and check the discharge
temp. thermistor level.
When the high-pressure sensor and dis-
charge temp. thermistor are normal, if the
above mentioned detecting pressure level
and temp. are big different from the actual
pressure and temp., replace the multi control-
ler board.
5 1) Check the resistance of thermistor.
2) According to "Monitoring function for out-
door unit", set the SW2 and check the out-
door pipe temp. thermistor level.
3) According to "Monitoring function for out-
door unit", set the SW2 and check the
outer temp. thermistor level.
1 Check connection of connector (TH4) on the
outdoor controller circuit board.
Check breaking of the lead wire for thermistor
(TH4). Refer to 8-6.
2 Check resistance value of thermistor (TH4) or
temperature by microprocessor.
(Thermistor/TH4: Refer to 8-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool:
Refer to 8-8.)
3 Replace outdoor controller board.
