DIAGNOSTIC MAINTENANCE & STATUS REPORT
The Diagnostic Maintenance & Status Report provides detailed information on PTAC control operation and operational status including
present modes, failures, airflow restriction warnings, operating temperatures, and past failures. The lower right hand dot on the center
display flashes in this mode. In some cases the green LED located in the lower left hand corner of the touchpad below the OFF key will
also be lit. This Green LED “Status Light“ only illuminates if there is an status code that has been activated and should be reviewed.
In most cases, this light indicates that the indoor room filter is dirty should be cleaned or replaced.
NOTE:
Dirty filters cause the unit
to consume more energy than normally needed to condition a room. Once the filter has been cleaned or replaced, the LED should go
out. If the LED is still illuminated after the filter has been cleaned, activate the Diagnostic and Status mode to view any active codes.
The unit may need additional cleaning or maintenance of the evaporator or condenser coils. Please perform this step before calling a
servicer.
A servicer should be called only if cleaning the filter or coils does not clear the status code or the code indicates that
servicer should be called
.
