INTELLISWITCH™ FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q. Why can’t I change my settings? 

A. The Intelliswitch™ may be locked. If the Lock light is illumi-

nated, the control is locked.  To unlock, press and hold the left & 

right arrows simultaneously for 5 seconds. The Lock mode can 

also be protected with a PASScode. If the PASScode option is 

on, an attempt to unlock the control will display PASS and then 

a 0000 prompt. A four-digit code (available in the installation 

instruction book Appendix) must then be entered to unlock 

the control. Use the up and down arrows to select a number 

and the left and right arrows to select the digit to edit. Press OK 

when done. Note: If the AutoLock setting is on, the control will 

re-lock if there is no activity after 5 minutes.

Q. Why won’t my heat work, even though fans are running?

A.  

The thermostat(s) or speed sensor may need adjusted or 

replaced.

1.) Make sure that the thermostat probe and/or remote ther-

mostat are in the “On” position and set above ambient (room) 

temperature.

2.) Check internal and external thermostat status in the Diag-

nostics Menu for a faulty thermostat. To do this, hold the right 

arrow for five seconds until DIAG appears, then arrow down to 

the ts setting, if it displays “1” then the thermostat(s) is working 

(there is a call for heat).

3.) If no external thermostat is used, check to see if the internal 

probe is attached to the control board. Disconnect power to 

the unit, remove the display board and check that the beige 

sheathed cable is attached at both ends.  If the thermostat(s) 

and settings are correct and you are still not getting heat, then 

check to see the fan speed.  to do this, press the down arrow to 

reach the Mode/Fan speed setting.  Use the right and left arrow 

to change the fan speed. 

4.) Check to see if you can adjust the fan speed. If the speed 

sensor is bad there will be no speed control and the Intel-

liswitch will not let the heat come on. If it is too difficult to de-

termine a change in speed, the speed sensor can be checked by 

entering the DIAG menu and checking the first error code. If ER 

10 displays, the speed sensor is recognized by the Intelliswitch. 

If the code ER 11 is displayed, the Intelliswitch does not recog-

nize the sensor, and it may be faulty or need adjusted closer to 

the trigger bar. Turn off the power to the unit and remove the 

screen to check the distance between the sensor and the trig-

ger located on the left side of the motor (use the bottom access 

cover for steam/hot water heated units). The sensor should be 

less than 1/16” from the trigger face. Check distance at both 

ends of trigger. Adjust if necessary.

5.) If there is still no heat or speed control, you may need a new 

speed sensor: consult factory.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: 

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to 

prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, 

securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Even though every Architectural High Performance 10 is individually tested at the factory before shipment, 

on occasion improper functionality may be experienced. Here is a list of common questions:

Q.  Why won’t the Intelliswitch™ light up?

A.

  There may not be power to the control.

1.) Check to see if the main power is turned on to the unit. Your 

air curtain may have multiple disconnects, be sure all are turned 

on.

2.) Verify that there is power to the board. 

NOTE: ONLY QUAIL-

IFED PERSONS SHALL CHECK POWER IN THE UNIT WITH THE 

POWER ON.

 The power terminals are located directly behind 

the display. Remove two Phillips screws from the Intelliswitch 

display to expose the power terminals and check the line volt-

age at spade terminals L2 and 120, 208 or 240 (depending on 

the voltage supplied to the unit).

3.) Check the ribbon cable connections to the display board for 

a loose connector or improperly connected cable (see Installa-

tion Instructions for correct cable connection).

4.) If display still doesn’t light, unplug the speed sensor and 

thermostat probe (if a heated unit) from the control board.  If 

the display lights, plug one component back in at a time to see 

which one may be shorted.  The faulty component will make 

the display go blank again.

5.) If there is line voltage power at the board terminals, the 

ribbon cable is correctly connected, the speed sensor and the 

thermostat are working, and it is still not working, you may 

need a new circuit board:  consult factory.

Q.  Why won’t my fans shut off?

A. 

 The Intelliswitch™ may be in the wrong mode or mis-wired.

1.) Check to see if the control is in the “ON” mode, if it is, then 

change the Mode to another setting.

2.) The T-Stat Mode may be set to the “both” setting and the 

thermostat is calling for both Fan and Heat, change the T-Stat 

Mode to “HEAT”.

3.) If there is a door switch and the unit is in a mode that is acti-

vated by it, there could be a short, mis-wiring or mixup in com-

ponents. Close the door and check the door switch status in the 

Diagnostics menu. Hold the right arrow for five seconds until 

DIAG appears, then arrow down to the ds setting, if it displays 

“1” then the door switch signal is closed (there is a call for fan). If 

the door is closed, the signal should be “0” or open.

4.) There could be a short in the field connections to the door 

switch or the door switch leads could be mis-wired. To test, 

disconnect the door switch connection at the unit. Opening the 

wiring tray on top of the unit and be cautious of high voltage 

connections. Disconnect the blue wires labeled 9 & 10 from the 

field wiring to the door switch or make sure they are not tied 

together. There is no danger of getting shocked because the 

signal is 5 volt dc. Be sure not to touch the blue wires to any-

thing metal (or grounded). The unit should shut off when it is in
