displayed within 30 minutes.
If U4 is displayed instead of U5, follow the
action to be taken for U4.
5
Check resistance value of TH8 or tempera-
ture by microprocessor.
(TH8: Refer to

Open/short of outdoor unit thermistors
(TH3, TH32 (PUHZ-SHW only), TH6, TH7,
and TH8)
Abnormal if open or short is detected
during compressor operation.
Open detection of TH3, TH32 (PUHZ-
SHW only) and TH6 is inoperative for 10
seconds to 10 minutes after compressor
starting and 10 minutes after and during
defrosting.
Note: Check which unit has abnormality in
its thermistor by switching the mode
of SW2. (PAC-SK52ST)
(Refer to "9-7. FUNCTION OF
SWITCHES, CONNECTORS AND
JUMPERS".)
1
Check connection of connector (TH3, TH32*,
TH7/6) on the outdoor controller circuit board.
Check connection of connector (CN3) on the
outdoor power circuit board. Check breaking of
the lead wire for TH3, TH32*, TH6, TH7, TH8.
Refer to "9-6.TEST POINT DIAGRAM".
2
Check resistance value of TH3, TH32*,
TH6,TH7,TH8 or check temperature by
microprocessor.
(TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8: Refer to "9-6.TEST
POINT DIAGRAM".) (SW2 on A-Control
Service Tool: Refer to "9-7. FUNCTION
OF SWITCHES, CONNECTORS AND

Replace outdoor controller circuit board.
Note: Emergency operation is available in case of
abnormalities of TH3, TH32 (PUHZ-SHW
only), TH6 and TH7.
