Alarm code
description
ISPM or dIP-IPM protection activation
– IPM or Dip IPM have detecting function of abnormality.
This alarm is indicated when the transistor module detect the abnormality 3 times in 30 minutes including 3. Retry
operation is performed up to the occurrence of 2 times. (The compressor restarts automatically in 3 min.)
Conditions:
Abnormal current to the transistor module such as
Short circuited or grounded
or
Abnormal temperature of the IPM or Dip IPM
or
Control voltage decrease
retry code: P-17
*1) Perform the high voltage discharge work by referring to the section "Checking procedure for main parts". before checking
and replacing the inverter components.
*2) Turn ON the No.1 switch of the dip switch DSW1 on Inverter PCB when restarting with disconnecting the terminals of the
compressor. After troubleshooting, turn OFF the No.1 switch of the dip switch DSW1 on Inverter PCB.
*3) Use the silicon grease provided as accessory (Service parts No. P22760).
note
When alarm code “53” is indicated, the fan motor (DC motor) ensure that DC fan motor is checked according to
-
the section "Fault diagnosis of DC fan motor".
Turn off power, disconnect
U, V, W from compressor
terminals and restart.
Does the protecting function
activate? *2)
No
Check the ISPM or Dip
IPM. *1)
Check the compressor.
(If there is a short-circuit
between phase lines, replace
the compressor.)
Yes
Yes
Faulty
No
No
Replace ISPM or Dip IPM
Coat the silicon grease to all
the touched face between
the ISPM or DIP-IPM and the
radiated fin fully. *3)
Is the silicon grease coated all
over between the ISPM or Dip
IPM and the radiated fin?
Good
Yes
Is the air side heat
exchanger of outdoor unit
clogged?
Remove clogging.
Replace the ISPM or Dip IPM
