Daikin Altherma Monobloc CA
Compressor (M1C) frequency
limited - suction pipe super-
heat protection function active.
This protection control acti-
vates when suction superheat
is > 10°C and expansion valve
is fully open (480 pulse). Unit
returns to normal operation
when suction superheat is
< 4°C.
Remark: check the suction
superheat by measuring the
suction temperature (with con-
tact thermometer) before the
compressor and comparing
with the saturated evaporation
temperature.
Activation of the protection
function can be caused by var-
ious reasons, therefore we
recommend to check the fol-
lowing:
• Check
refrigerant
charge.
•
Check expansion valve for
correct operation (see
page 97).
•
Check the refrigerant
circuit for blockages.
Based on the diagnosis exe-
cute one of the following
actions:
• Correct
the
refrigerant
charge.
•
Replace expansion valve
(see page 131).
• Remove
detected
blockages from the
refrigerant circuit.
Root cause category: end user
Space heating or domestic hot
water operation is not acti-
vated on the user interface.
Confirm if space heating oper-
ation or domestic hot water
operation is activated on user
interface.
Activate space heating or
domestic hot water operation
on the user interface.
Root cause category: parameter (setting)
Displayed date/time is wrong -
schedules not correctly exe-
cuted.
•
Not set date/time after
initial startup.
•
No power supply for more
than 48 hours.
Check date/setting and con-
tent of schedules.
Set date/time according to
operation manual instructions.
Displayed date/time is wrong -
schedules not correctly exe-
cuted.
Daylight Saving Time not set
correctly.
Check Daylight Saving Time
settings.
Set Daylight Saving Time
according to operation man-
ual.
Schedules not activated.
Schedules were not con-
firmed (refer to schedule set-
tings).
Check schedules on the user
interface.
Set schedule according to
user reference guide.
Holiday setting active.
Holiday setting is activated in
the user interface.
Check holiday settings.
Set holiday settings correctly.
Backup heater operation disa-
bled.
Setting backup heater opera-
tion mode [4-00] is set to 0
(disable).
Check setting [4-00].
Change setting [4-00] to 1.
Second step (6 kW) of the
backup heater is not allowed.
Setting "enable backup heater
step 2" [4-07] is set to 0 (not
allowed).
Check setting [4-07].
Change setting [4-07] to 1.
Backup heater equilibrium
point was set too low.
Setting "equilibrium tempera-
ture" [5-01] was set too low.
Check setting [5-01].
Change setting [5-01] to 0 or
higher to more quickly allow
backup heater operation.
Root cause category: installation
PHE condenser (partial) block-
age.
Dirty water (particles).
•
Check water flow rate
registered by flow sensor.
•
Check plate heat
exchanger (see page 77)
for blockage.
•
If required replace the plate
heat exchanger.
•
Check the water quality.
3-way valve bypass between
domestic hot water and space
heating.
3-way valve incorrectly
mounted.
Check the 3-way valve (see
page 84).
Correct the position of the
3-way valve.
Water filter blocked.
Dirty water.
•
Check water filter.
• Check
water
quality.
•
Clean the water filter.
•
Check the water quality.
Air in the water circuit.
Not enough air purged.
•
Check if all air purge valves
are open
•
Check if air purge valves
are installed on all highest
points of the field installed
water circuit
Purge air out of unit and field
supplied water system and
backup heater.
