(10) Troubleshooting the major components of the BC controller
1) Pressure sensor
Pressure sensor troubleshooting flow chart
Check on the LED monitor dis-
play.
• TH2 or LPS of outdoor unit.
• HPS of outdoor unit
• PS1, PS3 of BC controller and
confirm the following relationship
HPS > PS1
PS3 > TH2 or LPS
(calculated puressure value)
Check that refrigerant pip-
ing and transmission line
connections are in agree-
ment between outdoor
unit and BC controller.
START
Check pressure sensor, PS1,
PS3 and connectors for dis-
connection, looseness, or in-
correct attachment.
OK?
Stop the unit (compres-
sor OFF).
At least
10 minutes have passed since
stopping?
Check PS1, PS3 on LED
monitor display and confirm
that none of the detected
pressure values is below
0.098MPa.
OK?
OK?
OK?
OK?
Change board.
Repair faulty connection.
Change pres-
sure sensor.
OK?
Replace the wrong
puressure sensor with the
correct pressure sensor, and
confirm its detected pres-
sure is indicated correctly.
Short connectors 2 and 3 on the
board and check the pressure.
Pressure
range within 0 to
0.098MPa
Pressure
of at least 3.14MPa
indicated?
Remove the pressure sensor
connector from the board, and
check the pressure.
Check for faulty connector on
applicable pressure sensor.
Correct refrigerant
piping and trans-
mission line.
OK?
OK?
Note 3
Take corrective action.
HPS PS1 PS3 TH2
or LPS (pressure calcu-
lated value) (The differ-
ence is less than
0.098MPa
No board or pressure
sensor abnormality.
Check that refrigerant piping and
transmission line connections are
in agreement between outdoor
unit and BC controller.
Confirm the
following relationship PS1
PS3?
Correct refrigerant
piping and the trans-
mission line.
