P6
Freezing/overheating protection is oper-
ating
1
Freezing protection (Cooling mode)
The unit is in 6-minute resume preven-
tion mode if pipe <liquid or condenser/
evaporator> temperature stays under
−15
:
for 3 minutes, 3 minutes after the
compressor started. Abnormal if it stays
under −15
:
for 3 minutes again within
16 minutes after 6-minute resume pre-
vention mode.
2
Overheating protection (Heating mode)
The unit is in 6-minute resume
prevention mode if pipe <liquid or con
-
denser/evaporator> temperature is
detected as over 70
:
after the com-
pressor started. Abnormal if the tem-
perature of over 70
:
is detected again
within 30 minutes after 6-minute resume
prevention mode.

Pipe temperature
<Cooling mode>
Detected as abnormal when the pipe tem-
perature is not in the cooling range 3 min
-
utes after compressor start and 6 minutes
after the liquid or condenser/evaporator
pipe is out of cooling range.
Note 1: It takes at least 9 minutes to
detect.
Note 2: Abnormality P8 is not detected in
drying mode.
Cooling range : −3°C
]
(TH−TH1)
TH: Lower temperature between liquid pipe
temperature (TH2) and condenser/
evaporator temperature (TH5)
TH1: Intake temperature
<Heating mode>
When 10 seconds have passed after the
compressor starts operation and the hot
adjustment mode has finished, the unit is
detected as abnormal when condenser/
evaporator pipe temperature is not in heat-
ing range within 20 minutes.
Note 3: It takes at least 27 minutes to
detect abnormality.
Note 4: It excludes the period of defrosting.
(Detection restarts when defrosting
mode is over.)
Heating range: 3°C

Check pipe <liquid or condenser / evapo
-
rator> temperature with room tempera-
ture display on remote controller and
outdoor controller circuit board.
Pipe <liquid or condenser / evaporator>
temperature display is indicated by set-
ting SW2 of outdoor controller circuit
board as follows.
23
Check converse connection of extension
pipe or converse wiring of indoor/outdoor
unit connecting wire.
Conduct temperature check with outdoor
controller circuit board after connecting
‘A-Control Service Tool (PAC-SK52ST)’.
