Panasonic Aquarea T-CAP R32 fault H90
Indoor/outdoor abnormal communication
Heat pumpWhat it means
During operation of cooling and heating, the data received from the outdoor unit in indoor unit signal transmission is checked whether it is normal. Abnormality judged if condition continues for 1 minute after operation.
Likely causes
- Internal/external cable connection fault
- Indoor/Outdoor PCB fault
- Faulty outdoor unit PCB (main)
- Faulty indoor unit PCB (main)
- Indoor-outdoor signal transmission error due to wrong wiring
- Indoor-outdoor signal transmission error due to disturbed power supply waveform
- Indoor communication error
Where to start
- Check indoor/outdoor PCB
- Check the indoor-outdoor units connection wires for wiring errors; if wiring error found, correct the indoor-outdoor units connection wires
- If no wiring error, turn OFF the power and disconnect terminal 3 wire. Turn ON the power and measure Vdc between terminal 2 & 3 from the outdoor unit
