Abnormal point and detection method
Error Code
(1) Open/short circuit in the outdoor
unit thermistors (TH3, TH7, and TH8)
and branch box's thermistors(TH-A~E)
Abnormal if open or short circuit is detected
while the compressor is operating.
Open detection of thermistors TH3 is inop-
erative for 10 seconds to 10 minutes after
compressor starting and 10 minutes after
and during defrosting.
WCheck which unit has abnormality in its
thermistor by switching the mode of SW2.
(Refer to 9-8.)
Open/short circuit in the branch box ther-
mistor. (TH-A–TH-E)

(2) High-Pressure sensor (63HS) abnormality
:5131
1When detected pressure in high-pressure
pressure sensor is 1MPa or less during
the operation, the compressor stops and
restarts operation in 3 minutes.
2When the detected pressure is 1MPa or
less at just before of restarting, the com-
pressor stops abnormally. In this time,
<U4> is displayed.
3For 3 minutes after the compressor
stops, the unit delays to abnormal stop.
Then, the outdoor unit address No. and
check delay code <U4> blinks alternately
on the 7 SEG digital display.
4For 3 minutes after starting compressor,
for defrosting or for 3 minutes after
recovery from defrosting, abnormality is
not determined as abnormality.
Abnormal temperature of heatsink
Abnormal if heatsink thermistor(TH8)
detects temperature indicated 85:

(4230)
Abnormality of power module
Check abnormality by driving power module
in case overcurrent is detected.

1One or more connectors on out-
door controller circuit board
(TH3, TH7 and TH8) and
branch box controller board
(TH-A~E) have contact failure
or disconnection.
2Defective thermistor

Case
1Check the connector's contact and the electric
wires of thermistor.
2Check the resistance value of thermistors or
the temperatures by referring to the section of
"Monitoring function for outdoor unit".
(Convert modes by SW2.)
3Replace the whole outdoor controller board.

1 Check the high-pressure pressure sensor.
2 Check the internal pressure.
3 Check the high-pressure pressure sensor.
4 Check the controller board
12 Check outdoor fan.
3 Check air flow path for cooling.
4 Check if there is something which causes
temperature rise around outdoor unit.
(Upper limit of ambient temperature is 46:.)
Turn off power, and on again to check if U5
is displayed within 30 minutes.
If U4 is displayed instead of U5, follow the
action to be taken for U4.
5 Check resistance value of thermistor (TH8)
or temperature by microcomputer.
(Thermistor/TH8: Refer to 9-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer to 9-8.)
6 Replace outdoor power circuit board.
7 Replace outdoor controller circuit board.
1 Open stop valve.
2 Check facility of power supply.
3 Correct the wiring (U·V·W phase) to
compressor. Refer to 9-7.
4 Check compressor referring to 9-6.
5 Replace outdoor power circuit board.
