Error Code Meaning of error code and detection method
Abnormality of pipe temperature ther-
mistor / Condenser-Evaporator (TH5)
1 The unit is in three-minute resume pro-
tection mode if short/open of thermistor
is detected. Abnormal if the unit does
not get back to normal within three min-
utes. (The unit returns to normal opera-
tion, if it has normally reset.)
2 Constantly detected during cooling, dry-
ing, and heating operation (except
defrosting)
Short: 90: or more
Open: -40: or less
P9
Remote controller transmission
error(E0)/signal receiving error(E4)
1 Abnormal if main or sub remote con-
troller can not receive normally any
transmission from indoor unit of refriger-
ant address "0" for three minutes.
(Error code : E0)
2 Abnormal if sub remote controller could
not receive for any signal for two min-
utes. (Error code: E0)
1 Abnormal if indoor controller board can
E0
not receive normally any data from
or
remote controller board or from other
E4
indoor controller board for three minutes.
(Error code: E4)
2 Indoor controller board cannot receive
any signal from remote controller for two
minutes. (Error code: E4)
Remote controller transmission
error(E3)/signal receiving error(E5)
1 Abnormal if remote controller could not
find blank of transmission path for six
seconds and could not transmit.
(Error code: E3)
2 Remote controller receives transmitted
data at the same time, compares the
data, and when detecting it, judges
different data to be abnormal 30
continuous times. (Error code: E3)
E3
or
1 Abnormal if indoor controller board could
E5
not find blank of transmission path.
(Error code: E5)
2 Indoor controller board receives trans-
mitted data at the same time, compares
the data,and when detecting it, judges
different data to be abnormal 30
continuous times. (Error code: E5)
Cause
1 Defective thermistor
characteristics
2 Contact failure of connector
(CN29) on the indoor controller
board. (Insert failure)
3 Breaking of wire or contact
failure of thermistor wiring.
4 Temperature of thermistor is
90: or more or -40: or less
caused by defective refrigerant
circuit.
5 Defective indoor controller
board.
1 Contact failure at transmission
wire of remote controller
2 All remote controllers are set
as "sub" remote controller. In
this case, E0 is displayed on
remote controller, and E4 is
displayed at LED (LED1, LED2)
on the outdoor controller circuit
board.
3 Mis-wiring of remote controller.
4 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of remote controller
5 Defective transmitting receiving
circuit of indoor controller board
of refrigerant address "0".
6 Noise has entered into the
transmission wire of remote
controller.
1 Two remote controller are set
as "main."
(In case of 2 remote con-
trollers)
2 Remote controller is connected
with two 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 trans-
mission wire of remote con-
troller.

Countermeasure
1–3 Check resistance value of thermistor.
For characteristics, refer to (P1) above.
2 Check contact failure of connector (CN29)
on the indoor controller board.
Refer to 9-7.
Turn the power on and check restart after
inserting connector again.
4 Operate in test run mode and check pipe
<condenser / evaporator> temperature with
outdoor controller circuit board. If pipe
<condenser / evaporator> temperature is
exclusively low (in cooling mode) or high (in
heating mode), refrigerant circuit may have
defective.
5 Operate in test run mode and check pipe
<condenser / evaporator> temperature with
outdoor control circuit board. If there is
exclusive difference with actual pipe
<condenser / evaporator> temperature
replace indoor controller board.
There is no abnormality if none of above
comes within the unit.
Turn the power off and on again to operate.
In case of checking pipe temperature
(
with outdoor controller circuit board,
be sure to connect A-control service
tool (PAC-SK52ST).
1 Check disconnection or looseness of indoor
unit or transmission wire of remote controller.
2 Set one of the remote controllers "main".
If there is no problem with the action above.
3 Check wiring of remote controller.
• Total wiring length: max.500m
(Do not use cablex 3 or more)
• The number of connecting indoor units:
max.16units
• The number of connecting remote con-
troller: max.2units
When it is not the above-mentioned problem of
1~3
4 Diagnose remote controllers.
a) When "RC OK" is displayed,
Remote controllers have no problem.
Put the power off, and on again to check.
If abnormality generates again, replace
indoor controller board.
b) When "RC NG" is displayed,
Replace remote controller.
c) When "RC E3" is displayed,
d) When "ERC 00-06" is displayed,
[ c),d) Noise may be causing abnormality. ]
If the unit is not normal after replacing
indoor controller board in group control,
indoor controller board of address "0"
may be abnormal.
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.
Put 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 displayed,
noise may be causing abnormality.
