(4) Emergency mode operation from the outdoor unit PCB for a compressor failure (only for RAS-(20-54)FSXN)
Place contact
1 or contact 2 of DSW5 to the ON position to stop the compressor. Once positioned, all the compressors of
the failed outdoor unit will not be operated.

Even if one unit is failed, the others can operate continuously.
Failed Outdoor Unit
N O T E
Heat pump system (2 pipes):
Completely close the stop valves (gas/liquid) in the failed outdoor unit.
• Operating condition:
< Operating capacity of the indoor units >
The compressor is forced to stop for its protection under the following conditions:
Total capacity of Thermo ON indoor unit: < 50% capacity of the outdoor unit.
Total capacity of Thermo ON outdoor unit < 10 HP.
The lack of
Thermo ON in the indoor unit can cause a failure of the constant speed compressor because it gets turned on
and stops repeatedly.
N O T E
• Measure the insulation resistance of the Inverter compressor.
Do not activate the emergency operation when the insulation resistance is 0 Ω.
Another compressor may suffer damage due to the possibility that refrigerant oil may be oxidized.
• The total operating capacity of the indoor units should be 10 HP and greater.
Less than 10 HP: forced stoppage.
• In emergency operation, the compressor frequency can not normally be controlled.
Consequently, alarm codes “07”, “43”, “44”, “45” or “47” can be displayed on the LCD.
• The emergency operation cannot provide sufficient cooling and heating capacity.
