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 : -
(TH-TH1)
TH: Lower temperature between liquid pipe
temperature (TH2) and condenser/
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 heat-
ing 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 defrosting
mode is over)
