Outdoor Unit
Indication
U0
Method of
Malfunction
Detection
Detection Method 1
Lack of gas is detected using the input current detected by the CT and the compressor's
operating frequency.
Detection Method 2
Lack of gas is detected using the discharge pipe temperature and the motorized valve opening.
Malfunction
Decision
Conditions
Detection Method 1
Input current < 0.09 × Compressor's operating frequency -3.5
However, when the above state continued for 7 minutes with the operating frequency > 55(Hz)
Detection Method 2
discharge pipe temperature >Target discharge pipe temperature +20°C, that should be
continued for 80 seconds or longer with motorized valve full opening.
Note: The target discharge pipe temperature is calculated with the microcomputer.
