Panasonic 2WAY Multi - P13 Refrigerant Circuit Error (W MULTI

IV–90
P13 Refrigerant circuit Error (W MULTI) *Please note that 3WAY models use a different
troubleshooting procedure.

Error detection method
• The indoor unit outputs this warning when it determines that a compressor inspection is required.
• The system stops and there is no automatic reset when this warning is output.
When there is no difference between compressor outlet and inlet pressure (≤0.2 MPa *) 3 minutes after the
engine was turned on, the engine stops and an error fl ag is set. An Cooling Circuit Fault is assumed when the
error fl ag has stopped the engine 5 consecutive times in 1 hour.
* This indicates that the difference in initial pressure and after 3 minutes is 0.2 Mpa or less.
