Defrosting temp.
sensor Te failure
AD value is below 11(open circuit) or over 1012(short circuit) for 
60seconds, in cooling mode, if the sensor is abnormal, the unit 
does not deal with it, besides, in defrosting and within 3 minutes 
after defrosting, no alarm

4-way valve 
reversing failure
After 4-way valve is electried for 3 minutes, if the below conditions 
can be met for continuous 10 seconds, that is conversing 
successfully:
1. this outdoor compressor is running normally
2. Pd-Ps≥87PSI(0.6MPa), Otherwise, the system alarms reversing 
failure.

After compressor is running (except for residual operation), if 
in cooling, Ps<0.05Mpa; in heating, Ps<0.03Mpa; in oil return, 
Ps<0.03Mpa for continuous 5 minutes, alarm and stop. 2 minutes 
and 50 seconds later, resume automatically,
