Alarm code
22
Abnormal operation of the thermistor for the outdoor temperature (outdoor unit ambient thermistor) for
IVX Series
• The RUN LED ickers and “ALARM” is displayed on the remote control switch.
• The unit number, the alarm code and the unit code are alternately displayed on the set temperature section.
The unit number and the alarm code are displayed on the display of the outdoor unit PCB.
- This alarm code is displayed when the thermistor is short-circuited (less than 0.2 kΩ) or cut (greater than 500 kΩ)
during the operation. However, this alarm occurs during the test run mode only. In the case that the thermistor is
abnormal during the operation, the operation continues based on the assumption that the outdoor temperature is
35 °C (cooling) / 6 °C (heating).
Is the thermistor THM7 (TA)
connected to PCB1?
