4) Treatment of Inverter and Compressor Troubles
If the compressor does not work when error codes 4240 or 4250 are detected, determine the point of malfunction
by following the steps in the appropriate sections on the pages starting from page 75, then perform the procedures
below.
1If it was kept on for 2 hours or longer
as specified
2It was kept on for less than the
specified period.
1The inverter stops and the same
error code is displayed.
1The compressor stops and the same
error code is displayed.
2If the inverter’s output voltage is
output with good balance, ✻1
3If the balance in the inverter’s output
voltage is not good or if the inverter’s
output voltages are all 0 V (a digital
tester cannot be used) ✻1
No.
Check Item Symptoms Treatment
How many hours was the
power kept on before
operation?
When it is restarted, does the
trouble reappear?
Run the outdoor unit with the
wiring to the compressor
disconnected. At this time,
change SW1-1 on the INV
board to ON.
Note) The terminals of the 3
disconnected wires
should be isolated from
each other.
Go to [2].
Go to [2] after keeping the power on for the
specified time.
Perform the check of wiring shown in the
explanation of each error code.
Check the IPM is faulty. (Go to
“Individual Parts Failure Judgment Methods.”)
Check the coil resistance and insulation
resistance of the compressor, and if it is normal,
run it again, and if the trouble occurs again,
replace the compressor.
✻Insulation resistance : 1MΩ or more
Coil resistance : 0.11Ω(20˚C)
Check the IPM

✻1 [Cautions when measuring the voltage and current of the inverter’s power circuit.]
Since the voltage and current on the inverter’s power supply side and its output side do not have a sine waveform, the
measurement values will differ depending on the measuring instrument and the circuit measured.
In particular, as the inverter’s output voltage has a pulse waveform, the output frequency also changes, so differences in
measurement values will be great depending on the measuring instrument.
1When checking if the inverter’s output voltage is unbalanced or not (relative comparison of the voltages between each
of the lines), if you are testing with a portable tester, be sure to use an analog tester.
Use a tester of a type which can be used to judge if the IPM or diode module is faulty.
In particular, in cases where the inverter’s output frequency is low, there are cases where the variations in measured
voltage values between the different wires will be great when a portable digital tester is used, when in actuality they are
virtually equal, and there is danger of judging that the inverter is faulty.
2It is recommended when checking the inverter’s output voltage values (when measuring absolute values), that, if a
measuring device for business frequencies is used, a rectified voltage meter (with a symbol) be used.
Correct measurement values cannot be obtained with an ordinary portable tester. (either analog or digital)
Judge that the IPM is faulty. (Go to “Individual
Parts Failure Judgment Methods.”)
If the IPM is normal, replace the INV board, then
perform this item again with SW1-1 ON. If the
problem is solved and you connect the
compressor again, turn SW1-1 OFF again.
Check the compressor’s coil resistance and
insulation resistance.
If the problem is not solved, replace the INV board.
