circuit
12
Check outdoor fan.
3
Check air flow path for cooling.
4
Check if there is something which causes
temperature rise around outdoor unit.
(Upper limit of ambient temperature is 46
:
.)
Turn off power, and on again to check if U5 is
displayed within 30 minutes.
If U4 is displayed instead of U5, follow the
action to be taken for U4.
5
Check resistance value of thermistor (TH8)
or temperature by microcomputer.
(Thermistor/TH8: Refer to 10-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer to 10-10.)
6
Replace outdoor power circuit board.
7
Replace outdoor controller circuit board.

Open/short of outdoor unit thermistors
(TH3, TH6, TH7, and TH8)
Abnormal if open or short is detected
during compressor operation.
Open detection of thermistors TH3 and
TH6 is inoperative for 10 seconds to 10
minutes after compressor starting and 10
minutes after and during defrosting.
* Check which unit has abnormality in its
thermistor by switching the mode of SW2.
(PAC-SK52ST)
(Refer to 10-10.)
1
Check connection of connector (TH3,TH6/TH7)
on the outdoor controller circuit board.
Check connection of connector (CN3) on the
outdoor power circuit board.
Check breaking of the lead wire for thermistor
(TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8). Refer to 10-9.
2
Check resistance value of thermistor
(TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8) or check temperature by
microcomputer.
(Thermistor/TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8: Refer to 10-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer to 10-10.)
3
Replace outdoor controller circuit board.
* Emergency operation is available in case of
abnormalities of TH3, TH6 and TH7.
Refer to 10-8.

Outdoor fan motor
Abnormal if rotational frequency of the fan
motor is not detected during DC fan motor
operation.
Fan motor rotational frequency is abnormal
if;
• 100 rpm or below detected continuously
for 15 seconds at 20
:
or more outside
air temperature.
• 50 rpm or below or 1500 rpm or more
detected continuously for 1 minute.
1
Failure in the operation of the
DC fan motor
2
Failure in the outdoor circuit
controller board
1
Check or replace the DC fan motor.
2
Check the voltage of the outdoor circuit
controller board during operation.
3
Replace the outdoor circuit controller board.
