Check if the air inlet and outlet of outdoor unit is blocked by any 
obstructions. 
Install to the position as required in the Installation manual 
and ensure the air inlet and outlet of the outdoor unit is 
smooth. 
2 
Check the system for shortage of refrigerant. 
Add refrigerant 
3 
Check if the indoor exchange temperature thermistor is drifted, 
short circuited or open circuited. (Measure the resistance of the 
resistors on two ends of indoor temperature thermistor: (25ć / 
5k). For other resistances, please refer to the Temperature – 
Resistance Sheet. 
Replace the Indoor exchange temperature thermistor(IPT)

1 
The compressor cannot run under cooling mode when the 
outdoor temperature is lower than -1 , or run ć under heating 
mode when the outdoor temperature is higher than 33 , whilst ć
the compressor alarms P8 protection. 
Normal protection function

If the temperature is not within the protective range above, 
please refer to the Temperature – Resistance Sheet (See 
Appendix). Use the multimeter to measure the resistors on the 
two ends of outdoor intake temperature sensor (CN1) 
(25ć/5k). For other resistance, please refer to the 
Temperature – Resistance Sheet. 
Replace the sensor if it is incurred to drift, open circuiting 
or short circuiting. 
3  If the fault remains unsolved after replacement of the sensor  Replace the outdoor power source board

If this code is displayed when the compressor is 
started for several seconds or even not started, 
check the compressor connection for 
correctness. 
Replace the intelligent power module.(Be sure to apply 
silicone when replacing the intelligent power module.). 
Cooling/heating is normal 
during run 
Insert again if loose 
P9 appears 
after the air 
conditioner is 
started and 
has run for a 
period of time 
If the cooling / heating are 
abnormal, check the 
compressor wiring for 
correctness.

Re-energize 
and check the 
protection 
code on 
display.  
Firstly display 
P9 
When the compressor is restarted immediately 
after stop, this might also cause P9 protection 
because the cooling system is not stable. 
Try starting the air conditioner again after a longer 
period of stop
