NOTA
• The control circuit will not attempt to turn the compressor ON until the compressor has been OFF for at
least 3 minutes.
To protect the compressor from stalling out when trying to start against the high side refrigerant pressure,
the control circuit has a built-in automatic time delay to allow the internal pressure to equalize.
• As a protective measure, the control circuit switches the compressor OFF after 5 minutes or more of
compressor operation.
• Thermo ON: When the room temperature is above T + 1°C (T°C is set temperature).

• The control circuit will not attempt to turn the compressor ON until the compressor has been OFF for at
least 5 minutes. To protect the compressor from stalling out when trying to start against the high side
refrigerant pressure, the control circuit has a built-in automatic time delay to allow the internal pressure to

2) FREEZE PREVENTION (COOLING)
• This function prevents freezing of the indoor heat exchange coil.
• When the compressor has been running for 10 minutes or more and the temperature of the indoor heat
exchange coil falls below –1°C, the control circuit stops the compressor for at least 6 minutes.

• When the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil rises above 59°C, and if the indoor fan is L (low

• When the temperature of the indoor heat exchange coil rises above 61°C, the outdoor fan stops.
26
4) DEFROSTING OPERATION (Heating)
• When the capacity of the unit has been decreesed due to frosting up of the outdoor heat exchanger during
heating, the temperature drop gradient is detected by the microcomputer-controlled temperature sensing
system, and defrosting operation is started.

6) OUTDOOR FAN SPEED CONTROL (COOLING)

• To optimize performance of the air conditioner, the outdoor fan speed is switched automatically according
to the outdoor temperature.
• If the outdoor air temperature falls below 28.5°C, the fan speed switches to LOW.
• If the outdoor air temperature rises above 31.5°C for 5 minutes or longer, the fan speed switches to HIGH.
• This function does not become active in heating operation.

3) For SAP-CLR188E38 only (3 phase and low ambient version)
• When the outside ambient temperature decreases, the rotation speed of the outdoor fan is regulated by
means of the outdoor heat-exchanger sensor to prevent liquid back.
• The rotation speed varies with indoor temperature conditions (Hatching area).
• The unit is protected against high pressure by means of the outside temperature sensor, and thus when
the outside ambient temperature reaches 30°C respectively, the fan speed is forced to high.

Q IF A SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE
Indoor coil temp. thermistor (TH) is defective.
Open
When thermistor opens, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely
low indoor coil temperature.
IN COOLING MODE - Function of freeze prevention continues to work. That is the controller turns both compressor
and outdoor fan motor periodically ON and OFF for several minutes.
Short
When thermistor is short, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely
high indoor coil temperature.
IN COOLING MODE - Function of freeze prevention will not work even when the frost builds up on indoor heat exchan-
ger coil.
Room temp. thermistors are defective (BTH and RTH).
Open
When thermistor opens, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely
low room temperature.
IN COOLING MODE - The air conditioner soon stops and will not start again. (Thermo. OFF).
Neither outdoor fan nor compressor runs.
Short
When thermistor is short, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely
high room temperature.
IN COOLING MODE - The air conditioner continues to operate. (Thermo. ON).
Both the outdoor fan and compressor do not stop.
As a result, the room becomes too cold.
NOTE
Thermistor Structure
Definition of Open or Short Circuit of Sensor (Thermistor)
OPEN - A lead wire is broken or disconnected or the circuit inside the temperature sensor is open.
SHORT - The protective cover of a lead wire has been damaged, and the exposed wire is touching another
metal part, or both lead wires have become exposed and are touching each other. Alternatively, the
circuit inside the temperature sensor is closed.

S CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
1) Measurement of Insulation Resistance

• The insuration is in good condition if the resistance
exceeds 1 MΩ.
(a) Power Supply Wires

Clamp the earthed wire of the power supply wires
with the lead clip of the insulation resistance
tester and measure the resistance by placing a
probe on either of the power wires (Fig. 1).
Then measure the resistance between the
earthed wire and the other power wires (Fig. 1).
(b) Indoor Unit

Clamp an aluminium plate fin or copper tube with
the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester
and measure the resistance by placing a probe
on ➀, and then ➁ on the terminal plate (Fig. 2).
(c) Outdoor Unit

Clamp a metallic part of the unit with the lead clip
of the insulation resistance tester and measure
the resistance by placing a probe on ➀, and then
➁ on the terminal plate (Fig. 2).
(d) Measurement of Insulation Resistance for

Electrical Parts
Disconnect the lead wires of the disired electric
part from terminal plate, PCB Ass’y, capacitor,
etc.
Similarly disconnect the connector. Then measu-
re the insuration resistance. (Fig. 1 to 4).
Refer to Electric Wiring Diagram.
If the probe cannot enter the poles because the

hole is too narrow then use a probe with a thinner
pin.
58
2) Checking Continuity of Fuse on PCB Ass’y
• Remove PCB Ass’y from electrical component box.
Then pull out the fuse from PCB Ass’y (Fig. 5).
• Check continuity of fuse by the multimeter (Fig. 6).
3) Checking Motor Capacitor

Remove the lead wiers from the capacitor termi-
nals, and then place a probe on the capacitor ter-
minals as shown in Fig. 7. Observe the deflection
of the pointer, setting the resistance measuring
range of the multimeter to the maximum value.
The capacitor is “good” if the pointer bounces to a
great extent and then gradually returns to its origi-
nal position.
The range of deflection and deflection time deffer
according to capacity of the capacitor.
