Title

Cause of error

Check point & Normal condition

Heat Sink High

Inverter PCB heatsink tem-
perature is over 85°C

• ODU fan locking
• Heatsink assembly of INV PCB assemble condi-

tion abnormal

• Defect of temperature sensing circuit part defect

of INV PCB

■

Error Diagnosis and Countermeasure Flow Chart

Is installation

condition normal ?

Yes

1. Check fan locking
2. Check covering of heat exchanger
3. Check distance between ODU and obstacles
4. Check pipe distortion and abnormality
5. Check service valve is opened
-> Eliminate causes for abnormal condition

Check resistance between NO.14 pin and
NO.16 pin of IPM module
• 85kΩ ± 6.3% (at 25℃)
• Replace main PCBA it abnormality found

Is assemble condition

of INV PCB heatsink normal ?

Is PCB temperature

sensing part normal ?

Yes

Check assemble condition between INV PCB heatsink and
PFC & IPM module

’

Reassemble if abnormality found

VSS

VFO

Recheck installation condition

and connection of Heat sink
