S-10 COPELAND COMFORT ALERT™

DIAGNOSTICS

Applies to ASC13 & ASH13

Comfort Alert™ is self-contained with no required external
sensors and is designed to install directly into the electrical
box of any residential condensing unit that has a Copeland
Scroll™ compressor inside.

Once attached, Comfort Alert™ provides around-the-clock
monitoring for common electrical problems, compressor
defects and broad system faults. If a glitch is detected, an
LED indicator flashes the proper alert codes to help you
quickly pinpoint the problem. 

See Diagnostic Table on
