Applicable
Models
All outdoor unit models
Error Code
E3
Method of Error
Detection
Detect continuity across the high pressure switch in the protection device circuit.
Error Decision
Conditions
When part of the protection device circuit opens.
(Reference) Operating pressure of the high pressure switch:
Operating pressure: 4.0 MPa
Resetting pressure: 3.0 MPa
Supposed
Causes
Activation of high pressure switch
Defective high pressure switch
Defective outdoor unit main PCB
Momentary power failure
Defective high pressure sensor
Troubleshooting
NO
YES
YES
Replace the high pressure
switch. (S1PH)
Remedy defective points.
Replace the high pressure sensor
(S1NPH).
YES
Are the
above 3 points
OK?
Does the error
E3
recur?
NO
Is the
operating
pressure of the
high pressure switch
normal
(4.0 MPa)?
NO
YES
A
NO
(1) Mount a pressure gauge on the high pressure
service port.
(2) Reset the operation using the remote controller,
and then restart the operation.

Check for the following 3 points:
(1) Is the stop valve open?
(2) Is the high pressure switch connector properly
connected to the outdoor unit main PCB?
(3) Is there continuity across the high pressure switch?
Caution
Be sure to turn off the power switch before connecting or disconnecting
connectors, or parts may be damaged.
(
1) Use the table on
CHECK 12
to convert the voltage measurement
into pressure measurement.
CHECK 12
Compare the voltage
measurement of the connector
of the pressure sensor (
1) with the
measurement of the pressure gauge.
Are the characteristics
of the high pressure
sensor normal?
