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
:
for three minutes, three minutes
after the compressor started. Abnormal
if it stays under -15
:
for three minutes
again within 16 minutes after six-minute
resume prevention mode.
<Frost prevention mode>
If pipe <liquid or condenser-evaporator>
temperature is 2
:
or below when 16
minutes has passed after compressor
starts operating, unit will start operating
in frost prevention mode which stops
compressor operation. After that, when
pipe <liquid or condenser/evaporator>
temperature stays 10
:
or more for 3
minutes, frost prevention mode will be
released and compressor will restart its
operation.
2
Overheating protection (Heating mode)
The units is in six-minute resume
prevention mode if pipe <condenser /
evaporator> temperature is detected as
over 70
:
after the compressor started.
Abnormal if the temperature of over
70
:
is detected again within 10 minutes
after six-minute resume prevention
mode.

is defective.
(Cooling or drying mode)
1
Check clogs of the filter.
2
Remove shields.
4
Refer to 9-4.(5).
5
Check outdoor fan motor.
67
Check operating condition of refrigerant
circuit.
(Heating mode)
1
Check clogs of the filter.
2
Remove shields.

8
Check operating condition of refrigerant
circuit.
Abnormality of pipe temperature
<Cooling mode>
Detected as abnormal when the pipe tem-
perature is not in the cooling range 3 min-
utes later of compressor start and 6 min-
utes later of the liquid or condenser/evapo-
rator pipe is out of cooling range.
Note 1) It takes at least 9 min. to detect.
Note 2) Abnormality P8 is not detected in
drying mode.
Cooling range : -3 deg
]
(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 defrosting
mode is over)
Heating range : 3 deg

4
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)’.
