Insufficient refrigerant caused by 
refrigerant leakage
3
 
Add refrigerant and inspect the system 
for leaks 
The system is blocked, caused by crushed 
or bent pipe, blocked EXV or dirty filter
4
 
Inspect the system and fix the error. If the 
filter is blocked by ice, the piping should 
be cleaned 
The indoor load is too large
5
 
Make sure the combination ratio is less 
than 130% 
System contains air or nitrogen
6
 
Flush all refrigerant then vacuum the 
system and recharge refrigerant. Add oil 
to the system if it leaks 
The condenser heat exchange is poor
7
 
Inspect the system and fix the error 
 
Notes:   
1.  Compressor  top  temperature  sensor  and  discharge  pipe  temperature  sensor  connections  are  ports  CN4  and  CN5  on  the  main  PCB  (labeled  3  and  4, 
respectively, in Figure 5-2.1 in Part 5, 2.1 “Ports”). The discharge temperature switch connection is port CN19 on the main PCB (labeled 2 in Figure 5-2.1 in 
Part 5, 2.1 “Ports”). 
2.  Measure  sensor  resistance.  If  the  resistance  is  too  low,  the  sensor  has  short-circuited.  If  the  resistance  is  not  consistent  with  the  sensor’s  resistance 
characteristics table, the sensor has failed. Refer to Table 6-3.2 in Part 6, 3.1 “Temperature Sensor Resistance Characteristics”. 
3.  An  insufficiency  of  refrigerant  causes  compressor  discharge temperature  to  be  higher  than  normal,  discharge  and  suction pressures  to  be  lower  than 
normal and compressor current to be lower than  normal, and  may cause frosting  to occur  on the suction pipe.  These issues  disappear once sufficient 
refrigerant has been charged into the system. For normal system parameters refer to Table 6-3.4 and 6-3.5 in Part 6, 3.2 “Normal Operating Parameters of 
Refrigerant System”. 
4.  A  low  pressure  side  blockage  causes  compressor  discharge  temperature  to  be  higher  than  normal,  suction  pressure  to  be  lower  than  normal  and 
compressor current to be lower than normal, and may cause frosting to occur on the suction pipe. For normal system parameters refer to Table 6-3.4 and 
6-3.5 in Part 6, 3.2 “Normal Operating Parameters of Refrigerant System”.   
5.  An indoor load that is too large causes suction and discharge temperatures to be higher than normal. For normal system parameters refer to Table 6-3.4 
and 6-3.5 in Part 6, 3.2 “Normal Operating Parameters of Refrigerant System”. 
6.  Air or nitrogen in the system causes discharge temperature to be higher than normal, discharge pressure to be higher than normal, compressor current to 
be higher than normal, abnormal compressor noise and an unsteady pressure meter reading. For normal system parameters refer to Table 6-3.4 and 6-3.5 
in Part 6, 3.2 “Normal Operating Parameters of Refrigerant System”. 
7.  In cooling mode check outdoor heat exchangers, fans and air outlets for dirt/blockages. In heating mode check indoor heat exchangers, fans and air outlets 
for dirt/blockages.
