Overcurrent protection cut-out operates 3 consecutive times
within 1 minute after the compressor gets started.
• Reconnect connector of compres-
sor.
• Refer to 10-5. "How to check
inverter/compressor".
• Check stop valve.

Outdoor thermistors Discharge temperature thermistor,
fi
n temperature thermistor,
defrost thermistor, P.C. board temperature thermistor, outdoor
heat exchanger temperature thermistor or ambient tempera-
ture thermistor shorts or opens during compressor running.
• Refer to 10-5. "Check of outdoor
thermistors".

Serial signal
The communication fails between the indoor and outdoor unit
for 3 minutes.
• Check connection between the in-
verter P.C. board and the relay P.C.
board. (

Outdoor refrigerant
system abnormality
A closed valve and air trapped in the refrigerant circuit are
detected based on the temperature sensed by the indoor and
outdoor thermistors and the current of the compressor.
• Check for a gas leak in a
connecting piping etc.
• Check the stop valve.
• Refer to 10-5. “Check of outdoor
refrigerant circuit”.
