SHARP AH-X108E - AH-X138E
Overcurrent protection
(1) Compressor lock detection If the set value (4.37 A: AE-X138E, AU-X138E / 3.83 A: AE-X108E, AU-X108E) of AC current is exceeded at 10 to 30 Hz when operation begins, operation is stopped. In this case, the compressor and outdoor fan does not stop, and 170 seconds after operation is stopped, another try will be made. Three retries are allowed. On the fourth retry, a complete stop request signal is sent to the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit will remain stopped until reset is performed. At this time, the 3-minute delay for control of the outdoor unit will not function; therefore, do not cancel by removing the plug and cutting the power.

(2) DC overcurrent detection, AC overcurrent
detection To protect against overcurrent due to sudden changes in load, the compressor
is stopped if the set value (29 A: AE-X138E, AU-X138E / 24 A: AEX108E, AU-X108E)
DC is exceeded in the DC section, or the set value (15 A: AE-X138E, AUX138E /
11 A: AE-X108E, AU-X108E)AC is exceeded in the AC section. In this case, the
outdoor fan does not stop, and 170 seconds after operation is stopped, another
try will be made. Three retries are allowed. On the fourth retry, a complete
stop request signal is sent to the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit will
remain stopped until reset is performed. At this time, the 3-minute delay for
control of the outdoor unit will not function; therefore, do not cancel by
removing the plug and cutting the power.
Compressor protector control
If the temperature of the compressor chamber exceeds 114°C, the compressor is stopped. In this case, the outdoor fan does not stop, and when the compressor chamber temperature decreases to 100°C three minutes after operation is stopped, another try will be made. Three retries are allowed. On the fourth retry, a complete stop request signal is sent to the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit will remain stopped until reset is performed. At this time, the 3-minute delay for control of the outdoor unit will not function; therefore, do not cancel by removing the plug and cutting the power.
Power transistor module protector
If the temperature of the chips in the power transistor module exceeds 110 °C, the compressor is stopped. In this case, the outdoor fan does not stop, and when the temperature of the chips in the power transistor module decreases to 110 °C 170 seconds after operation is stopped, another try will be made. Three retries are allowed. On the fourth retry, a complete stop request signal is sent to the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit will remain stopped until reset is performed. At this time, the 3-minute delay for control of the outdoor unit will not function; therefore, do not cancel by removing the plug and cutting the power.

BREAK DOWN DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Self-diagnostic procedure using display mode If the timer lamp blinks during operation, the problem can be diagnosed using the following table.
Note: 1. Normal : Only the timer lamp blinks. Error : Displayed by blinking of run lamp (above table).
2. If the power plug is removed from the outlet or the breaker is switched to "OFF", the self-diagnostic memory will be erased.
3. Example of outdoor unit LED 1 blink
