Conditions
If the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor rises above
A
°C, the
compressor stops.
The error is cleared when the discharge pipe temperature has dropped below
B
°C.
<25/35 class>
<50 class>
If the error repeats, the system is shut down.
Reset condition: Continuous run for about 60 minutes without any other error
