When moisture gets into the refrigerant cycle, it may interfere the start-up of the compressor at low outside temperature.
The pre-heat control prevents this interference. The pre-heat control turns ON when the discharge temperature is 68°F
or below. When the pre-heat control turns ON, the compressor is energized. (About 50 W)

(Factory setting)
10-1. CAUTIONS ON TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Before troubleshooting, check the following
1) Check the power supply voltage.
2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring.
2. Take care of the following during servicing
1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the main unit first with the remote controller, and turn off the
breaker.
2) Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before removing the front panel, the cabinet, the top panel, and the electronic
control P.C. board.
3) When removing the electrical parts, be careful of the residual voltage of smoothing capacitor.
4) When removing the electronic control P.C. board, hold the edge of the board with care NOT to apply stress on the
components.
5) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the housing of the connector. DO NOT pull the lead wires.
Lead wiring
3. Troubleshooting procedure
1) First, check if the OPERATION INDICATOR lamp is blinking ON and OFF to indicate an abnormality.
2) Before servicing check that the connector and terminal are connected properly.
3) When the electronic control P.C. board seems to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and the
components for bursting and discoloration.
4) Refer to "10-2. TROUBLESHOOTING CHECK TABLE" and "10-3. HOW TO PROCEED "SELF-DIAGNOSIS"".

A How to check inverter/compressor
Disconnect the connector (CN61) between
compressor and the intelligent power module
(IPM).
Check the voltage between terminals.
Are the voltages balanced?
Yes
Check the compressor.
No
See 10-5. “Check of open phase”.
Replace the inverter P.C. board.
See 10-5. “Check of compressor”.
B Check of open phase
● With the connector between the compressor and the intelligent power module disconnected, activate the inverter and check if
the inverter is normal by measuring the voltage balance between the terminals.
Output voltage is 50 - 130 V. (The voltage may differ according to the tester.)
< Operation method (Test run operation)>
1. Press the TEST (RUN) button twice.
2. Press the MODE button and switch to the COOL (or HEAT) mode.
3. Compressor starts at rated frequency in COOL mode or 58 Hz in HEAT mode.
4. Indoor fan operates at High speed.
5. To cancel test run operation, press the ON/OFF button on remote controller.
<Measurement point>

N Check the defrost heater
SUZ-KA09/12/15NAH2
Check the following points before checking electric continuity.
1. Does the resistance of ambient temperature thermistor have the characteristics? Refer to 10-6.1.
2. Is the resistance of defrost heater normal? Refer to 10-4.
3. Is the heater protector closed?
4. Are both ambient temperature thermistor and circuit of defrost heater securely connected to connectors?
In HEAT mode, for more than 5 minutes, let the ambient temperature thermistor continue to read
32°F (0°C) or below, and let the defrost thermistor continue to read 30°F (-1°C) or below.
NOTE: In case both thermistors are more than the above temperature, cool them with cold
water etc...
Is there 208/230 VAC between CN722 and on
the inverter P.C. board? Refer to 10-6.1.
No
Replace the inverter P.C. board.
O Check of outdoor refrigerant circuit
Has the operation stopped
during pump down?
Yes
The operation has stopped to prevent the diesel explosion caused by
air trapped in the refrigerant circuit.
Close the stop valve, and disconnect
the power plug or turn the breaker
OFF.

Was the operation started with
the stop valve closed, and was
it opened during operation?
The refrigerant gas amount may be
60% or less than the normal amount.
Identify where the gas is leaking from,
and x the leak.
