1500 Refrigerant
overcharge
An error can be detected
by the discharge temper-
ature superheat and by
the liquid level of an ac-
cumulator shown below.
1.If the liquid level of an
accumulator AL=2
(overflow level) is de-
tected during opera-
tion (the first
detection), the outdoor
unit stops at once,
turns to anti-restart
mode for 3 minutes,
and restarts after 3
minutes automatically.
(1) Overcharged refrigerant
(2) Liquid level heater discon-
nection
(3) Heater failure by control
board failure
Check the refrigerant amount.
(4) Thermistor failure (TH3,
TH4)
Check the pressure sensor
(5) Themistor input circuit on
the main board or pressure
sensor input circuit failure
Check the temperature and the pres-
sure of the sensor with LED monitor.
(6) Faulty mounting of ther-
mistor (TH1, TH3, TH4)
2.If the liquid level of an
accumulator AL=2
(overflow level) is de-
tected again within 30
minutes after first stop
of the outdoor unit (the
second detection), the
outdoor unit will make
an error stop, and the
error code "1500" is
displayed.
3.If the liquid level of an accu-
mulator AL=2 (overflow lev-
el) is detected more than 30
minutes after the outdoor
unit stops, and the operation
described in step 1 above
will start.
4.For 30 minutes after the stop
of the outdoor unit, prelimi-
nary errors will be displayed
on the LED display.
5.When the inhibiting switch (SW2-
4) for abnormal draw turns on, the
operation described in step 1
above will start on the outdoor unit
even in the second detection or
later.
2500 Water leakage When the drain pump
OFF, the drain sensor de-
tects water or its tip be-
comes immersed in
water.
(1) Water leakage due to
problems with such equip-
ment as a humidifier
Check for water leakage around the
humidifier and clogging of outlet of
the drain pan.
2502 Drain pump
failure
The drain sensor detects
water or its tip becomes
immersed in water in 3
min. or later after the
drain pump turns on. The
sensor detects submer-
gence when the tempera-
ture rises within 20deg in
40 sec. from the start of
indirectly heated heater
on the drain sensor runs,
or the temperature of the
drain sensor is 63°C
[145°F] or less after 40
sec. or later.
(1) Drain water level rises and
the drain sensor became
immersed in water.
Check the drain pump
(2) Disconnected the indirectly
heated heater on the drain
sensor.
Measure the resistance value of the
indirectly heated heater on the drain
sensor. (Normal value is 82 ohm be-
tween 1-3 of CN50)
(3) The detection circuit
(board) failure
If no fault is found, the indoor board
is faulty.
(4) LEV in the indoor unit fail-
ure.
When the in door unit is operated in
fan mode, check the rise of TH2 and
TH3 nearly the room temperature.
2503 Drain sensor
failure
When a short or an open
is detected during opera-
tion (cannot be detected
during OFF).
Short :
detectable at 90°C
[194°F] or higher
Open :
detectable at
-40°C [-40°F] or lower
(1) Thermistor failure
(2) Connector contact failure
(loose connector)
(3) Disconnected wire or par-
tial disconnected ther-
mistor wire
Check the thermistor resistance.
0°C [32°F]: 15kΩ
10°C [50°F]: 9.7kΩ
20°C [68°F]: 6.4kΩ
30°C [86°F]: 4.3kΩ
40°C [104°F]: 3.1kΩ
(4) Indoor board (detection cir-
cuit) failure
Check the connector contact.
If no fault is found, the indoor board
is a failure.
2600 Water leakage - Water leaks from the pipes in
such as the humidifier.
Check the location of the leak.
2601 Water supply
cut-off
- (1) The water tank of the hu-
midifier is empty.
Check the amount of supply water.
Check for the solenoid valve and for
the connection.
(2) The solenoid valve for hu-
midification is OFF.
Check the connector.
(3) Disconnected float switch Check the connecting part.
(4) Poor operation of float
switch
Check for the float switch.
(5) Frozen water tank Turn off the power source of the wa-
ter tank to defrost, and turn it on
again.
