Forecast of Cause :
Check Point 3 : Check Filter PCB and Main PCB
Check Point 4 : Replace Main PCB
YES
NO
OK
Indicate or Display:
ERROR CODE : E : 18
CT error
Outdoor Unit Main PCB Circuit
Outdoor Unit Filter PCB Circuit
(Input current sensor unit)
Check Point 2 :
Check connections of Outdoor Unit Electrical Components
Check if connector is removed.
Check if the terminal connection is loose.
Check erroneous connection.
Check if cable is open.
>>Upon correcting the removed connector or mis-wiring,
reset the power.
Check Point 1-2 :
Check external cause at Indoor and Outdoor
(Voltage drop or Noise)
1. Defective connection of electric components 2. External cause 3. Filter PCB failure 4. Main PCB failure
Instant drop : Check if there is a large load electric
apparatus in the same circuit.
Momentary power failure : Check if there is a defective
contact or leak current in the
power supply circuit.
Noise : Check if there is any equipment causing harmonic
wave near electric line.(Neon bulb or electric
equipment that may cause harmonic wave)
Check the complete insulation of grounding.
Check Point 1-1 : Reset Power Supply and operate
Does Error indication show again?
When Input Current Sensor has detected 0A, while Inverter Compressor is
operating at higher than 56Hz(for AB*A18L/ 24L) or 50Hz(for AB*A36L/ 45L),
after 1minute upon starting the Compressor.
(Except during the defrost operation)
07-18
Check DC voltage of CN1 (between 2 (Brown) and 3 (Red)) on Filter PCB.
>> After 40seconds upon starting the Compressor,
If it is higher than 0.2V, Main PCB is failure. (Filter PCB is normal) >> Replace Main PCB
>> If it is lower than 0.2V, Filter PCB is failure. >> Replace Filter PCB
If it does not improve the symptom, change Main PCB.
AB*A18L/ 24L
If Check Point 1, 2 do not improve the symptom, change Main PCB.
Outdoor Unit (AB*A18L/ 24L) : LED 2sec ON/ 2sec OFF
(AB*A36L/ 45L) : No indication
