P6
Freezing/overheating protection is
working
1
Freezing protection (Cooling mode)
The unit is in six-minute resume prevention
mode if pipe <liquid or condenser/evap-
orator> temperature stays under
-15˚C[5˚F] for three minutes after the
compressor started. Abnormal if it stays
under -15˚C[5˚F] for three minutes again
within 16 minutes after six-minute
resume prevention mode.
2
Overheating protection (Heating mode)
The units is in six-minute resume
prevention mode if pipe <Liquid or con-
denser / evaporator> temperature is
detected as over 70˚C[158˚F] after the
compressor started. Abnormal if the
temperature of over 70˚C[158˚F] is
detected again within 10 minutes after
six-minute resume prevention mode.

Pipe temperature
<Cooling mode>
Detected as abnormal when the pipe tem-
perature is not in the cooling range 3 min-
utes after compressor start and 6 minutes
after the liquid or condenser/evaporator pipe
is out of cooling range.
Note 1) It takes at least 9 minutes. to
detect.
Note 2) Abnormality P8 is not detected in
drying mode.
Cooling range :
-3 deg˚C(-5.4deg˚F)
]
(TH-TH1)
TH: Lower temperature between: liquid
pipe temperature (TH2) and con-
denser/evaporator temperature (TH5)
TH1: Intake temperature
<Heating mode>
When 10 seconds have passed after the
compressor starts operation and the hot
adjustment mode has finished, the unit is
detected as abnormal when
condenser/evaporator pipe temperature is
not in heating range within 20 minutes.
Note 3) It takes at least 27 minutes to
detect abnormality.
Note 4) It excludes the period of defrosting
(Detection restarts when defrost-
ing mode is over)
Heating range :
3 deg˚C(5.4deg˚F)

Check pipe <liquid or condenser /
evaporator> temperature with room
temperature display on remote
controller and outdoor controller circuit
board.
Pipe <liquid or condenser / evaporator>
temperature display is indicated by
setting SW2 of outdoor controller circuit
board as follows.
23
Check converse connection of extension
pipe or converse wiring of indoor/outdoor
unit connecting wire.
Conduct temperature check with outdoor
controller circuit board after connecting
‘A-Control Service Tool(PAC-SK52ST)’.
