Fin temperature Refer to 10-6. “Test point diagram and voltage”, 1. “Inverter P.C. thermistor (RT64) board”, for the chart of thermistor.
Page 18
10-5. TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW A How to check inverter/compressor Disconnect the connector (CN61) between compressor and the intelligent power module (IPM). See 10-5. “Check of open phase”. Check the voltage between terminals. Replace the inverter P.C. board. Are the voltages balanced? Check the compressor.
Page 19
D Check of compressor winding ● Disconnect the connector (CN61) between the compressor and intelligent power module, and measure the resistance be- tween the compressor terminals. <<Measurement point>> at 3 points BLK - WHT Measure the resistance between the lead wires at 3 points. BLK - RED WHT - RED <<Judgement>>...

G Check of outdoor thermistors Disconnect the connector of thermistor in the outdoor P.C. board (see below table), and measure the resistance of thermistor. Is the resistance of thermistor normal? Replace the thermistor except RT64. When RT64 is (Refer to 10-6.1.) abnormal, replace the inverter P.C.
Page 21
I Check of outdoor fan motor SUZ-KA09/12/15NA Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C. board, and measure the resistance of the outdoor fan motor. Is the resistance of outdoor fan motor normal? Replace the outdoor fan motor. (Refer to 10-4.) Replace the inverter P.C. board. SUZ-KA18NA Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932.

K Check of LEV (Expansion valve) Self-check (Refer to 10-2-1.) start. Expansion valve operates in full-opening direction. 1. Regardless of normal or abnormal condition, a short beep Do you hear the expansion valve "click, is emitted once the signal is received. click·······"? Do you feel the expansion valve vibrate on touching it ?
Page 24
L Check of inverter P.C. board Check the outdoor fan motor. (Refer to 10-5. .) Is the fuse (F901) blown on the in- verter P.C. board? Check the connection of the connectors (CN931, CN932) of the outdoor fan motor. If the connection is poor, make it correct. Operate the outdoor unit by starting TEST RUN.
Page 25
M How to check miswiring and serial signal error Turn OFF the power supply. Is there rated voltage in the power supply? Check the power supply. Turn ON the power supply. Is there rated voltage between outdoor terminal block S1 and S2? Check the wiring.
