17.5.27 Outdoor High Pressure Switch Activate (F12)
Malfunction Decision Conditions:
During operation of cooling and heating, when pressure 4.3 MPa and above is detected by outdoor high pressure
switch.
Malfunction Caused:
1 Dust accumulation on the outdoor unit heat exchanger.
2 Air short circuit at outdoor unit.
3 Faulty water pump.
4 Insufficient water flow rate in system.
5 Water leak in system.
6 2/3 way valve closed.
7 Clogged expansion valve or strainer.
8 Excessive refrigerant.
9 Faulty outdoor high pressure sensor and switch.
10 Faulty outdoor unit PCB.
Abnormality Judgment:
Continue 4 times in 30 minutes.
Troubleshooting:
For safety reason and to prevent component breakdown,
always switch off the power before remove and connect the component.
Check the dust accumulation on the
outdoor unit heat exchanger.
Is the outdoor unit heat
exchanger dirty?
Check the 2/3 way valve.
Check the system water passage.
Is the 2/3 way valve closed?
Is there any water leakage?
Check for clogged
expansion valve or strainer.
Is the expansion valve or
strainer clogged (ice formed)?
Check refrigerant amount.
Is the additional refrigerant
amount filled correctly?
Check the outdoor air
passage.
Is there any short circuit?
Is the water pump working?
Check the system water
flow rate.
Is the water pump speed
adjusted according to system
hydraulic external static pressure?
Check the system water pump.
Clean the heat exchanger.
Open the 2/3 way valve.
Provide sufficient air
passage.
