16.5.27 Outdoor High Pressure Switch Activate (F12)
Malfunction Decision Conditions:
During operation of cooling and heating, when pressure 4.5 MPa and above is detected by outdoor high pressure
switch.
Malfunction Caused:
1 Dust accumulation on the outdoor unit heat exchanger.
2 Air short circuit at outdoor unit.
3 Faulty
water
pump.
4 Insufficient water flow rate in system.
5 Water leak in system.
6 2/3 way valve closed.
7 Clogged expansion valve or strainer.
8 Excessive
refrigerant.
9 Faulty outdoor high pressure sensor and switch.
10 Faulty outdoor unit PCB.
Abnormality Judgment:
Continue 4 times in 20 minutes.
Check the system water pump.
Is the water pump working?
Check the system water passage.
- Readjust the water pump
speed
- Replace outdoor high
pressure sensor
No
Is the water pump speed
adjusted according to system
hydraulic external static pressure?
- Replace the faulty water
pump
- Replace outdoor high
pressure sensor
No
Yes
Yes
Yes
Check the system water
flow rate.
Is there any water leakage?
- Fix the system water
leakage
- Replace outdoor high
pressure sensor
Yes
No
- Replace the outdoor unit
PCB (main)
- Replace the outdoor high
pressure sensor and switch
Check refrigerant amount.
Is the additional refrigerant
amount filled correctly?
- Reclaim and recharge with
correct amount of refrigerant
- Replace outdoor high
pressure sensor
No
Yes
Check for clogged
expansion valve or strainer.
Is the expansion valve or
strainer clogged (ice formed)?
- Replace the expansion valve
and/or strainer
- Reclaim and recharge
refrigerant
- Replace outdoor high
pressure sensor
Yes
No
Check the dust accumulation on the
outdoor unit heat exchanger.
Is the outdoor unit heat
exchanger dirty?
Check the outdoor air
passage.
Provide sufficient air
passage.
Is there any short circuit?
Clean the heat exchanger.
Is the 2/3 way valve closed?
Open the 2/3 way valve.
Check the 2/3 way valve.
Yes
No
No
No
Yes
Troubleshooting:
For safety reason and to prevent component breakdown,
always switch off the power before remove and connect the component.
