General Troubleshooting

Fault Possible Causes The outdoor coil keeps freezing over. Faulty outdoor coil sensor There is only one condenser fan working. Faulty fan motor. Compressor won’t operate at 100% capacity. You can adjust your wall control temperature so you have a large differential. This will operate the system at 100% until the temperature gets to within 4oC of the setpoint.
Note: If the system operates under Anti Freeze or Overheat Protection the system will not operate at 100% capacity   Odour in the conditioned space when the A/C is turned on. Indoor unit has absorbed the conditioned space smells eg. cigarette, cooking, etc.

Fault Possible Causes Remedies
The system does not start. Built-in safety timers have
been activated. Allow up to 5 minutes for the system to start from when it is

turned on.
A circuit breaker may have tripped.| Check circuit breakers.
The thermostat setpoint is incorrect.| Lower the set point on cooling or raise it on heating modes.
The master wall control timer is set.| Check the wall control timer settings.
No airflow from the outlets.| During heating operation, the hot start function may have been activated.| During heating operation, the indoor fan is delayed for 30 seconds or until the indoor coil reaches 25oC (whichever occur first). This is to prevent cold drafts.
The system may be operating in a defrost cycle during the heating cycle. (LR7 will display DEFROST. NEO will display Defrosting. )| This is normal operation during the defrost cycle to prevent cold air being blown into rooms.
Cooling/Heating is not sufficient.| The return air filter may be dirty.| Clean the return air filter.
The outdoor unit may have an obstruction on the air inlet or outlet.| Ensure the air inlet and air outlet on the outdoor unit is not blocked.

Check that the area around the outdoor unit is free from obstructions that may cause the airflow to recirculate.

The airflow across the indoor coil may be outside of the operating range.| Reduce the total static pressure of the ductwork. For example increase duct sizes, reduce tight duct work bends or increase return air grille size.
The heat load is greater than the installation design.| Perform a heat load analysis on the conditioned space. Turn any unused zones to the off position.
Windows or doors are open.| Close windows and doors in conditioned areas.
The outside temperature is beyond the air conditioner design conditions.| When the ambient temperature is expected to exceed the maximum design operating temperature, turn the system on as early as possible.
The indoor fan setting may be set too low.| Change the fan speed to a higher setting. This will increase system capacity.
Steam emitted from outdoor unit.| The outdoor unit is going through a defrost cycle during the heating cycle.| This is normal during the defrost operation in cold ambient conditions.
Condensation of water on the outdoor coil during heating operation.| This is normal during heating operation. Optional drip trays can be purchased to drain the excess water.
Set temperature cannot be adjusted.| The wall control set temperature limits are being exceeded.| Check the upper and lower temperature limits are set correctly.
Occasional hissing noise can be heard during the heating cycle.| This is the sound of the gas changing direction as the system goes through a defrost cycle.| This is a normal function of an air conditioner.
The compressor is operating but the system is not cooling.| You are in heating mode.| Check the temperature settings.
The reversing valve has not switched between heating and cooling.| Test reversing valve.
Remedies
Check the sensor resistance.
Jammed reversing valve.| Test the reversing valve operation.
Obstruction on the outdoor unit.| Remove obstructions.
Test the fan motor resistance.
Faulty capacitor.| Test the capacitor microfarad reading.
Faulty Outdoor PCB.| Test the PCB output voltage.
Adjust the set point less then or greater than 4oC of the indoor temperature depending on mode of operation.
If this happens, we recommend you have the indoor unit washed by a technician. Consult the installer from whom you purchased the air conditioner.
No P-Trap installed.| Re-pipe drain with a P-Trap.
Dry P-Trap.| Contact the installer to carry out a general service and fill the P-Trap.

EC Fan Troubleshooting

FaultSequence of EventsPossible Causes4.Low airflow during AUTO Mode.System produces reduced airflow on Auto mode when all or minimum zones are on.System capacity has been designed to heat/cool only selected areas of the conditions space at any one time.5. Indoor fan not changing speeds when in Auto ModeWhen zones are switched on or off, airflow to active zones doesn’t increase or decrease.There is excessive static within the duct design of the active zones.6. HiS is displayed on the wall controller aftera Self-Learn has been preformed (L Series Controller only).System produces low airflow when AUTO mode is selected regardless of how many zones are open.HiS is displayed on the wall control as a indication of very high static in the connected return and supply duct which can further effect the supply air quantity during the auto mode. If there is too much static during self-learn, thenthe controller will automatically decrease the indoor fan speed until an acceptable static is achieved and the self-learn can be completed with reduced airflow.

Fault Sequence of Events Possible Causes Remedies
1. Auto Mode is not available. When scrolling through
fan speeds, Auto Mode is not selectable. During commissioning, Self-Learn
mode was not activated. Carry out self learn mode. Refer LR7/LC7/ NEO

controller operation manual.
Self learn mode failed during commissioning.| Ensure that the air is balanced correctly (static may be too high). Refer to Installation and Commissioning

Guide-Indoor.

2. Airflow hunting during Auto and Self Learn Mode.| Indoor fan will intermittently “huff”.| Excessive static in ductwork. Duct static has changed since performing a self-learn. Ducts deteriorate, dirty filter, change in duct layout.| Reduce static where possible.

See installation guidelines on duct installation.

Clean filter and re-perform self-learn.

3. Too much airflow when minimum zones are on.| Air is blowing too much when set to minimum zones.| Fan not set to Auto Mode.| Change fan setting to Auto Mode
Poor air balance.| Carry out air balance and install manual dampers as required.
Minimum duct and outlet sizes requirements not followed.| Check Installation and Commissioning Guide-Indoor and adjust / change if necessary.
Remedies
Operate indoor fan on Low/ Med/High speed to achieve more airflow.
Excessive static in ductwork.| Reduce static where possible. Review duct design with reference to Installation and Commissioning Guide-Indoor.
Review duct design with reference to Installation and Commissioning Guide- Indoor.
The indoor PCB is not changing the fan PWM to adjust the fan PWM to adjust the fan speed.| Check the output PWM from indoor PCB. An increase in fan speed should result in a increase in the fan % PWM (duty cycle). Refer to table below test points expected voltages.

To determine if the system may be suffering from excessive or insufficient static, check PWM & RPM values through the indoor unit dashboard on the Master Wall Controller:

  • If the RPM is at its maximum value, and the PWM has not reached its requested value, this indicates a high static. (Please refer to RPM Limits in Section 0.3)
  • When switching off zones, and there is little or no change in the RPM value, this indicates insufficient static within remaining active zones duct work.

Reduce static where possible. Review duct design with reference to Installation and Commissioning Guide – Indoor .

Once static has been reduced perform Self-Learn again.

**** Component Troubleshooting

Testing Indoor Board
  1. Disconnect wires from the Wall Control Communication and Outdoor Communication plugs into indoor board
  2. Loop the “A” terminal from the Wall Control communication plug to the “A” terminal on the Outdoor Communication Plug
  3. Loop the “B” Terminal from the Wall Control communication plug to the “B” terminal on the Outdoor Communication Plug
  4. Power the board and if the WCCOM2 LED flashes and the OUTDOORCOM1 flashes then the indoor board is communicating.
Expected Control Voltage On Communication Line – InZone Board (R-410A /

R-32)

NOTES

  • If COM1 (LED1) and COM2 (LED2) are blinking, communication is occurring.
    • Voltage sending between A-G and B-G are fluctuating, this means communication is occurring.
  • Prior to measuring the control voltage ensure communication wires are properly connected to the CPU board.

ActronAir-R-410A-ADVANCE-Split-Ducted-Unit-03 Expected Control Voltage On Communication Line – UNO Pro Board (R-32)

Expected Voltage – InZone PCB To Indoor Fan

Step 1.

  1. Measure the Indoor Fan on/off signal.
    On signal = 12VDC signal between Pin 1 and 3 (red and blue wires).
    Off signal = +0VDC signal between Pin 1 and 3.

Step 2.

  1. Set the tester to measure duty cycle .
  2. Set the indoor fan to a fixed speed eg High & turn all zones on.
  3. Measure the reading between Pin 3 and 4 (blue and yellow wires).
  4. Change fan speed and check for any changes in readings.
  5. Compare the duty cycle output to the expected PWM for each model.

NOTE
Duty cycle cannot be tested in voltage. A voltage on the PWM line indicates a Duty Cycle is present.

E42 and E45 Envelope Protection Error| As the compressor starts, it will wait until the compressor envelope control start delay has expired. Once the delay has expired, only then will the compressor start to track the floating point which is defined by HP/LP saturation temperature with respect to the

selected compressor envelope (the compressor envelope has been divided in to the four parts

– Extreme low evaporating pressure, High compression ratio, High condensing pressure, Low compression ratio.

In the case of when the compressor operates outside the envelope boundaries, there is an allowable time of which the compressor may continue to operate – these time restrictions are tabulated below.

The compressor will turn off if the allowable time-out expires. After 180 seconds, the UNO controller will auto reset according to the respective error code and start again to user define mode.
