Diagnosis
Countermeasure
Are there
any wrong connection of
refrigerant piping and/or signal wiring ?
. Check the numbers of connected indoor units
recognized by outdoor unit in comparison
with those numbers in
utility drawing.
Are there any
excessive refrigerant charged at site?
. Check the calculation result of additional
refrigerant charging amount and the
record of additional refrigerant
charged amount.
Are there any
leakage of refrigerant through
valve sheet of SV1?
. Check the temperature difference between
before and after SV1.
Are there any
fault in subcooling coil circuit ?
. Check whether the EEVSC is kept open
(at cooling mode)
. Check whether the thermistor of Tho-H is
inserted in the thermistor holder properly.
. Check whether the characteristics
of Tho-H and PSL
is OK.
Is the
superheat control of
indoor unit OK at cooling mode?
. Check whether the indoor EEV is kept open or not.
. Check whether ThI-R1, R2, R3 are installed at proper
position or the characteristics of them are OK.
. Check whether the air filter is clogged.
. Check whether the indoor
fan rotates.
Is the
superheat control of
outdoor unit OK at heating mode?
. Check whether EEVH is kept open or not.
. Check whether Tho-R are installed at proper
position or the characteristics of them is OK.
. Check whether the characteristics of PSL are OK.
. Check whether the fin of outdoor heat exchanger
is clogged with snow, ice or dust.
. Check whether the outdoor
fan rotates.

Check and save the data of
operating condition.
Check the ROM version.
Confirmation of SV1 operation.
Correct the connection of
refrigerant piping and/or
signal wiring properly.
Adjust refrigerant amount
properly.
Replace SV1.
Replace the coil of SV1.
• Replace EEVSC.
• Check the coil of EEVSC
Replace the coil of EEVSC
• Replace Tho-H.
• Replace PSL.
• Replace indoor EEV.
• Check the coil of EEV
Replace the coil of EEV.
• Check the installed position
of ThI-R1, R2, R3
Replace ThI-R, if necessary.
• Check the air filter.
• Check the connection of indoor
fan motor connector.
Replace indoor fan motor
* By checking ThI-R1, R2, R3
from indoor unit operation data
of Mente PC, specify the indoor
unit which tends to be liquid
flooding (ThI-R3.=.ThI-R2 shows
the probability of liquid flooding)
• Replace EEVH.
• Check the coil of EEVH
Replace the coil of EEVH.
• Check the installed position of
Tho-R
Replace Tho-R, if necessary.
• Clean the fin of outdoor heat
exchanger.
• Check the connection of
outdoor fan motor connector
Replace outdoor fan motor.
• Replace Tho-C.
Correct the data with Mente PC
and ask our consultation.
2. Error detection method
When 5ºC or lower of the
under-dome temperature
superheat is detected for 15
minutes continuously or for 30
minutes continuously.
3. Condition of error displayed
When above anomaly is
detected 3 times within 90
minutes.
4. Presumable cause
• Unmatching of refrigerant
piping and/or signal wiring
• Overcharging of refrigerant
• Anomalous control of
superheat
• Anomalous circuit of liquid
refrigerant by-pass
• Anomalous refrigerant circuit
of subcooling coil
• Under-dome temperature
(Tho-D) anomaly
Note: If the error does not recur, connect the Mente PC and continue to collect data.
