A19 Low Coolant Temperature - Panasonic 2WAY Multi Technical & Service Manual

A19 Low Coolant Temperature

Error detection method
• If the temperature of the coolant does not exceed 60°C during engine operations (complete combustion,)
the engine will be momentarily halted. (The time varies between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the
temperature.)
An emergency shutdown will occur when the engine has been halted twice because of this error.
The cumulative number of times will be reset when the coolant maintains a temperature of 60°C or more or
exceeds 85°C.

Check to make sure the exhaust heat collection valve is not locked open by following the instructions below.
1) Use the [Off] button on the remote controller to stop the outdoor unit in order to completely close the
exhaust heat collection valve. Note: The valve will not be completely opened if the [STOP-SW] on the
outdoor unit's main board is used to halt operations. The [Off] switch on the remote controller or the
enforced thermo-off switch on the outdoor unit's main board must be used without fail.
2) Disconnect the connector (CN0725P white) on the exhaust heat collection valve after three or more
minutes have elapsed since the outdoor unit was powered off.
3) Resume operations of the outdoor unit in the heater mode. (Either as a test run or with remote controller
operations.)
4) Once the outdoor unit is operating, measure the temperature of the exhaust heat collection valve's
secondary duct for approximately two minutes.
5) If it is clear that the temperature has dropped in comparison with the situation before start-up, then there
is a chance that the valve is locked open. Everything is normal if the temperature does not drop.
Note: Keep the operation time to a maximum of fi ve minutes.
6) Once the inspection is completed, make sure the exhaust heat collection valve connector is reconnected
and the power source reset.
* If the power source is not reset, it will be impossible for the exhaust heat collection valve to be positioned,
which will hinder subsequent operations.
