Alarm codeF04
Alarm meaningCompressor 1 discharge temperature sensor trouble
Alarm conditions(1) A temperature of 212°F (100°C) or higher was detected 20 minutes or longer after that compressor stopped running.
(2) Temperature is 176°F (80°C) or higher when the outdoor unit has been stopped for 60 minutes or longer.
Details are given in the servicing technical materials.
(3) A/D step is 10 steps or less (short circuit).
Probable cause(1) Sensor malfunction
• Sensor element malfunction
• Sensor wiring is partially disconnected, resulting in increased electrical resistance.
• This alarm does not occur when the wiring is completely cut or when the connector is not connected to the outdoor unit PCB.
(2) Outdoor unit PCB failure
(3) An air short blockage in the area around the outdoor unit has increased the outdoor unit ambient temperature, reducing the cooling effects after the compressor stops.
(4) There is a cause that results in P03 alarm.
(5) Electrical noise
Check(1) Sensor malfunction and outdoor unit PCB failure Trouble: • Constantly indicates a high temperature.
• When monitoring software or other means are used for monitoring, the discharge temperature at times fluctuates suddenly and wildly.
• In some cases, the precise temperature may not be known, even when monitoring software is used.
Check: • Wiggle the sensor and check whether the trouble continues.
• Check whether the connector is partially disconnected from the PCB.
• An F04 alarm will not result if the connector is completely disconnected (circuit is open).
(2) Leakage from the discharge tube check valve
Trouble: Although the other compressor is operating and this compressor is stopped, the
discharge temperature of this compressor rises together with the temperature of the other compressor.
(3) If the cause is still unknown after checking the above, then it is possible that electrical noise is the cause of the trouble. It is necessary to provide a line filter or carry out other noise countermeasures.
Correction(1) Replace the sensor.
(2) Carry out noise countermeasures.
(3) Adjust the amount of refrigerant.
(4) Correct the trouble.
Example(1) Sensor wirinq is partially cut.
NotesThis alarm does not indicate that the sensor is disconnected.
In order to prevent overheating during operation, the outdoor units in this system will not allow a compressor to start if the discharge temperature does not decrease while the compressor is stopped. If a sensor malfunction results in continuous detection of a high discharge temperature, then the compressor may stop for no apparent reason. The purpose of this alarm is to facilitate identification of the problem in this case.
Alarm codeF07
Alarm meaningLiquid temperature sensor (C1) trouble at outdoor heat exchanger
Alarm conditions(1) A/D step is 10 steps or less (short circuit).
(2) A/D step is 1014 steps or more (open circuit).

Alarm codeF16
Alarm meaningHigh-pressure sensor trouble
Alarm conditionsThe saturation temperature at the detected pressure is 10 °F (5 °C) or more below the highest indoor-unit E1 temperature continuously for 30 minutes.
Probable cause(1) High-pressure sensor malfunction
(2) Failure to connect the connector to the outdoor unit PCB
(3) Failure to open the service valve
(4) Clogged tubing
(5) Valve leakage
(6) Over-charging
(7) Outdoor unit PCB failure
(8) Electrical noise
Check(1) High-pressure sensor failure
• Check for cut wiring.
• Connect a gauge to the high-pressure pressure outlet and check for changes in the value displayed by the monitoring software, and for large deviation of the gauge pressure.
• During heating, check whether the temperature is lower than the highest indoor-unit E1 temperature.
• The pressure detected by the high-pressure sensor is the highest pressure in the system. Therefore during heating the converted saturation temperature will never be lower than any indoor-unit E1 temperature. During cooling this temperature will never be lower
than the outdoor unit liquid temperature.
(2) Failure to open the service valve, clogged tubing, valve leakage, over-charging.
In all of these cases, an alarm occurs when there are rapid pressure fluctuations and tracking of the detected pressure is poor.
• Check the open/closed status of the valve.
• Check for valve leakage and over-charging
When valve leakage or over-charging occurs, refrigerant is likely to accumulate in the outdoor units or indoor units, resulting in a sudden rise in pressure at start that occurs before the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is discharged.
• The representative valve to check is a mechanical valve.
(3) Outdoor unit PCB failure
• The check items are the same as for a high-pressure sensor malfunction.
A normal PCB is needed to determine whether the problem is a PCB failure or a pressure sensor malfunction. If an abnormality was found at the check items for a high-pressure sensor malfunction, first try replacing the PCB and check again.
Trouble is corrected : Outdoorunit PCB failure
Trouble is not corrected : High-pressuresensor malfunction
Correction(1) Replace the high-pressure sensor.
Caution: Because the high-pressure sensor connection incorporates a Schrader-type valve, it can be removed and replaced. However, the high-pressure sensor can be easily damaged by high voltage; therefore use sufficient caution with regard to static electricity.
(2) Replace the PCB.
(3) Correct the locations of problems in the refrigeration cycle.
• Correct locations where clogging or leakage has occurred.
• In the case of over-charging, recover refrigerant. (Adjust the amount of refrigerant).
ExampleThis alarm may result when the service valve is closed or when valve leakage (particularly from the mechanical valve) occurs.
Alarm codeF31
Alarm meaningOutdoor unit non-volatile memory (EEPROM) trouble
Alarm conditions(1) Non-volatile memory is not present when power initialization occurs.
(2) Read values do not match after writing to non-volatile memory is complete.
Probable cause(1) Memory was not inserted after the PCB was replaced.
(2) The lifetime of the non-volatile memory has been reached.
(3) Non-volatile memory is installed incorrectly (wrong direction, bent pins, etc.).
Check(1) Check the non-volatile memory on the PCB.
Alarm codeH03
Alarm meaningCompressor CT sensor disconnected or short-circuit
Alarm conditionsAlarm occurs if the current value is 1.5 A or less when 2 seconds or longer have elapsed after output from that compressor started.
• No current is detected even though the compressor is operating.
Probable cause(1) CT circuit failure (including cut wiring, etc.)
(2) Disconnected CT circuit connector
(3) This CT circuit is connected to the connector of the other CT circuit.
(4) PCB failure
(5) Noise
Check(1) CT circuit failure. PCB failure
Trouble: • Current value during compressor operation is below the threshold value.
Check: • Check that the connector is not disconnected.
• Check the continuity of the CT circuit.
• Install a normal CT in place of this CT and check. If current is detected, then the PCB can be judged OK.
• CT circuit failure
• Check that current is flowing in the phase where the CT circuit is connected.
• Check voltage and current.
(2) Crossed wiring or installation error
Trouble: When the compressor is stopped, the current value at the other compressor is high.
(3) If the cause is still unknown after checking the above, then it is possible that noise is the cause of the trouble. It is necessary to connect a PC or other instrument.
Correction(1) Replace the CT circuit.
(2) Replace the outdoor unit PCB.
(3) Correct the problem.
Example(1) The connector was not inserted after the PCB was replaced.
NotesUse a normal CT as a tool to determine whether the trouble is a PCB failure or CT failure.
Alarm codeL05
Alarm meaninqIndoor unit priority duplication (at priority indoor units)
Alarm conditionsMore than 1 indoor unit set for priority was detected.
Probable causeMore than 1 indoor unit is set for priority.
CheckFrom the wired remote controller, use the indoor unit EEPROM simple setting mode and check that the value of item code 04 is 0001
CorrectionUse the wired remote controller and correct the setting if the value of indoor EEPROM item code 04 is incorrect.
NotesThis alarm is displayed at the indoor units that are set for priority. Alarm L06 is displayed at the indoor units that are not set for priority.
Alarm codeL06
Alarm meaninqIndoor unit priority duplication (at non-priority indoor units) and outdoor unit
Alarm conditionsMore than 1 indoor unit set for priority was detected in the system.
Probable causeMore than 1 indoor unit is set for priority in the system.

Correction
NotesAlarm L06 occurs as a result of alarm L05. When the duplicated priority settings are corrected, alarm L06 is also corrected.
Alarm codeL10
Alarm meaningOutdoor unit capacity not set
Alarm conditionsThe outdoor unit capacity has not been set, or the setting is not allowed by the system.
Probable causeThis alarm occurs because the capacity has not been set.
CheckConnect the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller. On the outdoor unit EEPROM detailed setting mode screen, check the value for the outdoor unit capacity (item code 81). Check that it is not set to “O” or to a capacity that is not allowed.
CorrectionIf item code 81 is incorrect, use the outdoor unit maintenance remote controller and set it correctly.
• After chanqinq the settinq. be sure to reset both the indoor and outdoor power.
NotesThe outdoor unit maintenance remote controller is required in order to set the capacity in the outdoor unit EEPROM.
Alarm codeL18
Alarm meaning4-way valve operation failure
Alarm conditionsDuring heating, when 2 minutes and 30 seconds have elapsed after compressor operation started, the temperature difference between the outdoor air temperature sensor and the heat exchanger liquid temperature sensor (C1) is 40 °F (20 °C) or higher.
Probable cause(1) The 4-way valve connector (20S CN005) has become disconnected from the control PCB.
(2) The 4-way valve circuit is locked (malfunctioning).
Check(1) Check the 4-way valve connector (20S CN005).
(2) If the connector is normal, check the 4-way valve wiring and the PCB circuit.
CorrectionIf the connector is normal, correct or replace the problem locations.
Alarm codeP03
Alarm meaningCompressor discharge temperature trouble
Alarm conditionsInverter compressor: Temperature is 222 °F (106 °C) or higher and pre-trip stop has occurred.
Probable cause(1) Insufficient amount of refrigerant (including trouble resulting from an insufficient initial charge and from gas leakage)
Blocking of low-pressure parts caused by intrusion of foreign objects (moisture, scale, etc.)
(2) Expansion valve operation failure
(3) Compressor discharge sensor failure
(4) PCB failure (A/D conversion failure)
(5) Electrical noise
Check(1) Insufficient refrigerant
Trouble: Liquid effectiveness is poor.
Check: Check whether or not the superheating temperature is declining if the evaporator mechanical valve is opened to 300 pulses or more (after checking for foreign object intrusion).
(2) Sensor failure
Check: • This alarm is likely to occur when wiring is partially cut. (It can be difficult to identify, even when conductivity is checked.) The detected discharge temperature is high.
• Although such conditions rarely occur, a P02 alarm is likely if the detected discharge temperature is low.
• Replace the sensor with another discharge sensor and compare the temperature conditions.
(3) If the cause is still unknown after checking the above, then it is possible that electrical noise
is the cause of the trouble.
Correction(1) Replace the sensor.
(2) Replace the outdoor unit PCB.
(3) Correct the problem locations.
ExampleAll of the probable causes
NotesOperates continuously for a set length of time.
Indicates 2 minutes 30 seconds or longer for an inverter unit.
Alarm codeP16
Alarm meaningInverter compressor overcurrent alarm
Alarm conditionsThis alarm occurs when current trouble or current detection trouble occurs at an inverter frequency of less than 80 Hz after start (when trouble judgment current is detected in the primary or secondary current, or when an instantaneous secondary current of 48 A or hiqher is detected).
Probable causeThere is a strong possibility of a compressor failure.
An alarm occurs for current detection trouble when it is judged that no current is flowing after start (DCCT is damaqed). In this case, the cause is a DCCT failure.
CheckCheck the power wirinq and connector wirinq.
CorrectionIt is possible to resolve this trouble by limitinq the maximum frequency.
Alarm codeP22
Alarm meaningFan motor trouble
Alarm conditionsFan motor start failure, fan motor Hybrid IC input failure
Probable causePossible causes are a Hybrid IC input circuit failure or a fan HIC failure.
CheckCheck the fan motor wiring, the Hybrid IC wiring, and the connector connections. If the wiring and connectors are normal, then check that the capacitor of the Hybrid IC input circuit is securely soldered onto the PCB. Also use a tester and measure the resistance between fan HIC power (HIC+) and ground (HIC-). If there is a short circuit, there is an HIC malfunction.
CorrectionIf the fan does not start, the below corrections may be effective.
(1) If there is a fan HIC failure or circuit failure, replace the PCB.
(2) If the fan motor is locked, replace the fan motor.
NotesTurn OFF the power, and check the conductivity of V and on the main PCB.
Alarm codeP26
Alarm meaningInverter compressor high-frequency overcurrent alarm
Alarm conditionsThis alarm occurs when current trouble or current detection trouble occurs at an inverter frequency of 80 Hz or higher after start (when trouble judgment current is detected in the primary or secondary current, or when an instantaneous secondary current of 48 A or higher is detected).
Probable causeThe detection methods are the same as for P16. However the fact that operation up to high frequencies is possible does not necessarily mean that a compressor failure is the cause of the trouble. Start the compressor several times. If alarm P26 occurs every time and alarm P16 does not occur at all, then the possibility of a compressor failure is low.
CheckCheck the power wiring and connector wiring.
CorrectionIt is possible to resolve this trouble by limiting the maximum frequency.
Alarm codeP29
Alarm meaningInverter compressor missing phase or lock alarm
Alarm conditionsThis alarm may occur at start, and occurs when missing phase or lock is detected, and when a DCCT failure occurs.
Probable causeGenerally this alarm occurs when the refrigerant pressure balance is uneven at start, when inverter compressor lock occurs, there is a missing phase in the inverter compressor wiring, or a DCCT failure occurs. This can be judged to be starting trouble which is not caused by HIC.
CheckCheck the power wiring and connector wiring.
CorrectionDCCT failure (replace PCB) or compressor failure
NotesUse a tester to measure the voltage between the DCCT output terminal on the rear of the PCB and the ground. If the voltaqe is not within 2 – 3 V. then the DCCT has malfunctioned.
