Outdoor Unit
3 2 1 Excessive increase in master outdoor unit inverter com-
pressor1 gas discharge temperature.
• System shutdown happens when discharge pipe temperature
rises >115°C (239°F) for 10 seconds, or compressor dome
temperature equals 105°C (221°F) for 10 seconds.
• Check the inverter compressor discharge pipe temperature
sensor.
• Check for low refrigerant / leaks.
• Check for a defective EEV.
• Check for a defective liquid spray valve.
3 2 2 Excessive increase in slave1 outdoor unit inverter com-
pressor1 gas discharge temperature.
3 2 3 Excessive increase in slave2 outdoor unit inverter com-
pressor1 gas discharge temperature.
3 3 1 Excessive increase in master outdoor unit inverter com-
pressor2 gas discharge temperature.
3 3 2 Excessive increase in slave1 outdoor unit inverter com-
pressor2 gas discharge temperature.
3 3 3 Excessive increase in slave2 outdoor unit inverter com-
pressor2 gas discharge temperature.
3 4 1 Master outdoor unit compressor high pressure safety
tripped.
•
Shutdown due to one (1) compressor operating at ≥30Hz, or if
high pressure is >4,000 kPa (580 psi) for ten (10) seconds.
• Check the high pressure sensor, indoor unit or outdoor unit
fan(s), refrigerant, EEV, service valve (may be clogged); check
for defective outdoor unit PCB, indoor unit pipe temperature
sensor, or hot gas valve. Also, outdoor unit may not have
enough clearance (cooling operation), or indoor unit filter may
be clogged (heating operation).
3 4 2 Slave1 outdoor unit compressor high pressure safety
tripped.
3 4 3 Slave2 outdoor unit compressor high pressure safety
tripped.
3 5 1 Master outdoor unit low side pressure below allowable
limits.
• System will shut down when an abnormal low pressure condi-
tion occurs.
• Shut down occurs when the sum of all compressors inverter
frequency <30Hz = low <110 kPa for 1 minute.
• When operating in cooling mode: Low side pressure <400
kPa for 1 minute; High side pressure is <2,200 kPa. Check for
refrigerant leaks (low refrigerant charge), or a defective indoor
unit EEV.
• When operating in heating mode: Low side pressure <230
kPa for 1 minute; High side pressure is <1,800 kPa. Check
for refrigerant leaks (low refrigerant charge), or a defective
outdoor unit EEV.
3 5 2 Slave1 outdoor unit low side pressure below allowable
limits.
3 5 3 Slave1 outdoor unit low side pressure below allowable
limits.
3 6 1 Master outdoor unit inverter 1 or inverter 2 low compres-
sion ratio.
• Outdoor unit is experiencing a problem developing compressor
lift. Error is calling out low compression ratio. System will shut
down and display error code “CH36*”.
• During ongoing operation, if the compression ratio is <1.6 for
2 to 5 minutes following a change in position of the reversing
valve (either direction). If compression ratio is <1.6, delay 5
minutes for condition to correct itself before raising the error.
• During low ambient cooling operation following an initial
compressor start, if compression ratio is <1.1 for 2 minutes, if
compression ratio is <1.3 for 3 minutes.
3 6 2 Slave1 outdoor unit inverter 1 or inverter 2 low compres-
sion ratio.
3 6 3 Slave2 outdoor unit inverter 1 or inverter 2 low com-
pression ratio.
4 0 1 Master outdoor unit inverter compressor current trans-
ducer (CT) sensor error.
Master outdoor unit inverter compressor current transducer (CT)
detection sensor disconnected or shorted.
4 0 2 Slave1 outdoor unit inverter compressor current trans-
ducer (CT) sensor error.
Slave1 outdoor unit inverter compressor current transducer (CT)
detection sensor disconnected or shorted.
4 0 3 Slave2 outdoor unit inverter compressor current trans-
ducer (CT) sensor error.
Slave2 outdoor unit inverter compressor current transducer (CT)
detection sensor disconnected or shorted.
4 1 1 Master outdoor unit inverter compressor1 discharge
pipe temperature sensor error.
• Check the connection on the outdoor unit PCB.
• Thermistor disconnected or shorted.
4 1 2 Slave1 outdoor unit inverter compressor1 discharge
pipe temperature sensor error.
4 1 3 Slave2 outdoor unit inverter compressor1 discharge
pipe temperature sensor error.
