Outdoor control has
increased minimum
compressor speed
to allow for proper oil
return due to low
ambient temperat
ure.
Outdoor ambient temperature is below system limit. Control at
tempts to run at lowest allowed compressor speed to allow for
proper oil return. Automatically clears when outdoor ambient
temperature rises above limit for more than 5 minutes.

Excessive inverter
alarms
After ten faults within one hour, control is locked out, indicating
poor system operation. Review history of alarms to resolve sys
tem setup. Check condenser fan motor, TXV, indoor unit blower
motor, over-charge, undercharge, or clogged refrigerant filter.
To clear error, disconnect power to outdoor unit and restart. In
verter alarms 12 to 14 and 53 do not count toward this lock out
condition.

The inverter has de
tected a DC peak
fault condition
.
If condition (55A or higher) is detected, outdoor unit compressor
and fan stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If peak current (55A or
higher) occurs 10 times within an hour, system is locked out.
Indicates high pressure, condenser fan failure, locked com
pressor rotor or overcharge.
To clear, disconnect power to outdoor unit and restart.

tion
.
If condition is detected, is detected, outdoor unit compressor and
fan stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 5 times
within an hour, system is locked out.
Indicates high pressure, condenser fan failure or overcharge.
To clear, disconnect power to outdoor unit and restart.

The inverter has de
tected a DC link low
voltage condition
.
Error occurs when DC link voltage drops below 14VDC. If condi
tion is detected, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop. Antishort
cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times within an hour, sys
tem is locked out.
Indicates power interruption, brownout, poor electrical connec
tion or loose inverter input wire.
To clear, disconnect power to outdoor unit and restart.

.
If condition is detected, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop.
Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times within an
hour, system is locked out.
Indicates poor connection at compressor harness, improper
winding resistance, locked compressor rotor, or flooded com
pressor.
To clear, disconnect power to outdoor unit and restart.

The inverter has de
tected a PFC circuit
over-current condi
tion
.
Error occurs when PFC detects a over-current condition of 100A
peak. If condition is detected, outdoor unit compressor and fan
stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times
within an hour, system is locked out.
Indicates high pressure, condenser fan failure, locked com
pressor rotor or overcharge.
To clear, disconnect power to outdoor unit and restart.

The inverter has de
tected a DC link high
voltage condition.
Error occurs when the DC link capacitor voltage is greater than
480VDC. If condition is detected, outdoor unit compressor and
fan stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times
within an hour, system is locked out. System stops. To clear, dis
connect power to outdoor unit and restart.

The inverter has de
tected a compressor
over-current condi
tion
.
Error occurs when compressor peak phase current is greater
than 28A. Inverter issues code 14 first and slows down to try to
reduce the current. If the current remains high, outdoor unit com
pressor and fan stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition oc
curs 5 times within an hour, system is locked out. To clear discon
nect power to outdoor unit and restart.

Outdoor control has
lost communica
tions with the invert
er for greater than 3
minutes.
Error occurs when communication a checksum error occurs for
3 minutes. Outdoor control stops all compressor demands. Re
cycle power to the inverter by deenergizing the contactor for 2
minutes.
