Sharp XP09ER – Split Air conditioner LED Blinking codes – Self Diagnosis function – Wiring Diagram

Self-Diagnosis Function and Display Mode
To call out the content of the self-diagnosis memory, hold down the emergency operation button for more than 5 seconds when the indoor unit is not operating.
• The number of indications displayed by the LEDs on the outdoor unit differs from that for the 2001 cooling unit models (for detailed display of malfunction information).  The display of malfunction No. differs from that of the 2001 cooling unit models. To show detailed malfunction information, two types of numbers flash alternately. (example: "21" ↔ "-0")
1) The content of the self-diagnosis memory can be called out and displayed on the seven-segment display section on the indoor unit. (The error data cannot be called out for display by the LED on the outdoor unit.)
2) If the power cord is unplugged from the AC outlet or the circuit breaker is turned off, the self-diagnosis memory loses the stored data.
a) The self-diagnosis display function of the indoor unit indicates the content of diagnosis by showing the error main category (number) and the error sub-category (-number) alternately in 1-second intervals on the seven-segment display section of the indoor unit.

Example of self-diagnosis display on indoor unit: Compressor high-temperature error

b) The self-diagnosis display function of the outdoor unit indicates the error information by flashing LED1 on the outdoor unit according to the content of self-diagnosis.  The self-diagnosis display function of the outdoor unit is active only for about 3 to 10 minutes after self-diagnosis is performed during operation, and the display returns to normal condition after this display period.  The content of self-diagnosis cannot be called out by the self-diagnosis display function of the outdoor unit.  Example of self-diagnosis display on outdoor unit:Compressor high-temperature error.

c) The content of diagnosis is transferred to the indoor unit via serial communication, but it does not trigger a complete shutdown operation.

How to operate the outdoor unit independently

1. Cooling in 40 Hz fixed mode

To operate the outdoor unit independently, short-circuit the sections indicated by arrows in the diagram below with an adapter, and apply 230 VAC between (1) and (N) on the terminal board of the outdoor unit. This allows the outdoor unit to be operated in cooling mode independently.

(Do not operate the outdoor unit in this condition for an extended period of time.)

Inverter electrolytic capacitor (C10) check method
Turn off the power, let the inverter electrolytic capacitor (C10) discharge completely, and remove the capacitor from the control printed circuit board (PWB). First, check the case for cracks, deformation and other damages. Then, using a needle-type tester, check continuity.

[The tester needle should move on the scale and slowly returns to the original position. The tester needle should move in the same way when polarities are reversed. (When measurement is taken with the polarities reversed, the tester needle exceeds the scale range. Therefore, let the capacitor discharge before measurement.)]

IPM check method
Turn off the power, let the large capacity electrolytic capacitor (C10) discharge completely, and dismount the IPM. Then, using a tester, check leak current between C and E.
When using a digital tester, the (+) and (-) tester lead wires in the table must be reversed.
