TROUBLESHOOTING
“RUN” light flickers and “ALARM” is indicated on the remote control switch.
The unit No., alarm code and the unit code is alternately indicated on the set temperature section,
and the unit No. and alarm code are indicated on the display of the outdoor unit PCB.
This alarm code is indicated when a suction pressure is lower than 0.02 MPa (0.2 kg/cm
2
G) for over
12 minutes and its state occurs more than 3 times including 3 in one hour.

Code
Activation to Protect System from Excessively Low Suction Pressure
(Protection from Vacuum Operation)
Is the amount of refrigerant correctly?
Yes
Yes
Is the outdoor stop valve open?
Is refrigerant leaking?
Check if connections of electric wiring
and refrigerant piping between the indoor
and outdoor unit are wrong.
Check the indoor ex. valve during cooling
and the outdoor ex. valve during heating.
Open the stop valve.
Correctly charge refrigerant.
Repair leaks.
No
No
Yes
Is suction pressure sensor normal?
Replace suction pressure sensor
if faulty.
No
No
Yes
Are the electronic ex. valves fully
closed and locked?
Check connection of the connectors
and the circuit board. Replace the
electronic ex. valves if faulty.
No
Yes
NOTE:
In the case of H-LINK system, check the refrigerant
system setting of the outdoor PCB and indoor PCB.
