F9- outdoor EE error
Explanation of
error
Cause:
Only the models with the module panels separated with the
main external control panels may have this error. When the machine is
running normally, the module panel and the main external control
panel would coordinate with each other on the communication to work
and when the communication is off, the main external control panel
would raise the alarm of "main control panel and module panel
communication error". Only "module panel, data line and main
external control panel" are related to such communication.
Inspection path:
data line connection → module panel power
→module panel →main external control panel
Tools required
for inspection
Multimeter and regular module panel.
Frequent
problematic part
Module panel and main control data line, module panel and main
external control panel.
Inspection
procedure and
key points
1.
First check if the communication connection line (mostly 4 chips)
between the module panel and main contrl panel gets loose and if the
connection is faulted.
2.
Measure and check with a multimeter if the power from the main
external control panel is normal and especially note that if the 5V
(3.3V) power is led to the module panel. Eleminate the possibility that
it's not running normally because there is no 5V (3.3V) power at the
module panel.
3.
The maintenance personnel shall replace the module panel of the
faulted air conditioner with a regular module panel taken with him and
if the communication error disappears when the external machine is
switched on, it means the original module panel is faulted and if the
error is still there, maybe the main external control panel shall be
replaced.
Explanation of
error
Cause:
Many parameters need to be preset for the running of the
external unit of the air conditioner and such parameters are placed in a
data storage 8-feet chip, which is called "EEPROM" or "EE" for short.
The motor on the main external control panel can only work after
reading the data stored in EE and if not read, the alarm "outdoor EE
error" would be reported and raised in the internal machine. Reasons
for data not being read are as follows:
1.
wrong EE chip data format;
2.
EE chip is broken;
3.
bad contact of EE or fault of EE reading circuit;
4.
backward installation of EE chip.
Inspection path:
main external control panel.
Tools required
for inspection
None.
Frequent
problematic part
Bad contact of EE, main external control panel.
