Panasonic 2WAY Multi - F04·06·08·12·13·17·18;H08 Outdoor Unit Temperature Sensor Error

IV–60
F04·06·08·12·13·17·18/H08 Outdoor Unit Temperature Sensor Error
* H08 (temperature sensor for measuring the oil level) will only detect the oil surface with W-Multi.
Re-check the settings if it is not the relevant model.
Setting confi rmation method: The [No.10] – [FirSt] – [Sub] display on the outdoor unit’s control board:
It is not a W-Multi if this is set at [Sub 00].
It is set for W-Multi if this is set at [Sub 01] or [Sub 02].
* The two-inlet temperature sensor for the outdoor unit’s heat exchanger unit is only connected to the 3WAY.
A F06 message will be issued if the outdoor unit is set as a 3WAY model but is a model other than a 3WAY
model.
In this event, the model setting must be checked and corrected.
Setting confi rmation method: The [No.10] – [2-3] display on the outdoor unit’s control board:
Set at 3WAY if set at [02].
Correct this if the outdoor unit is not actually a 3WAY model.
If the setting is correct or if F06 is still issued after the setting has been corrected, refer to (1) and (2)
below and carry out a normal malfunction check.

Error detection method
An outdoor unit temperature sensor error constantly detects any broken wires or short circuits, and an error is
determined when error conditions are met once.
Error conditions are given below.
Display Sensor name
Severed wire detection
resistance
Short-circuit detection
resistance
F04 Compressor outlet temperature sensor (Note 1) 130Ω or less
F06
Outdoor heat exchanger inlet temperature sensor 400kΩ or more 130Ω or less
Outdoor heat exchanger 2 inlet temperature
sensor (3WAY only)
400kΩ or more 130Ω or less
F08 Outside air temperature sensor 400kΩ or more 130Ω or less
F12 Compressor inlet temperature sensor 400kΩ or more 130Ω or less
F13 Coolant temperature sensor 62kΩ or more 22Ω or less
F17 Hot water outlet temperature sensor 400kΩ or more 130Ω or less
F18 Exhaust gas temperature sensor (Note 2) 130Ω or less
H08
Temperature sensor for oil level measurements
(W-Multi only)
400kΩ or more 130Ω or less
Note 1: Detects severed wires in the compressor’s outlet temperature sensor.
When the pressure is more than 1.0 MPa and the compressor’s outlet temperature is less than 6°C for 3
consecutive minutes during complete combustion.
Note 2: Detects severed wires in the exhaust temperature sensor.
When the coolant temperature is ≥80°C, the exhaust gas temperature is ≤30°C and the exhaust gas
temperature does not change for 5 minutes during complete combustion.

Troubleshooting
1
Check
installation
1-1 Is the sensor correctly installed at the prescribed location?
Yes 2-1
No Repair
2
Check
wiring
2-1
Poor connection/contact/crimping or broken wire or pinched
wire in sensor connector and wiring?
Yes Repair wiring
No 3-1
3
Check
temperature
sensor
3-1
Disconnect the sensor connector and measure the resistance
value. Is the resistance between the broken wire detection
value and the short-circuit detection value?
Yes
Replace the outdoor
main board or outdoor
power board.
No
Replace temperature
