Troubleshooting Procedure for Control
Related Issues
This method of diagnosis will test the 3 main
components of the control circuit individually to
indicate any potential problems. This is to be used
when the control will not activate the main unit.
1. Detach field control wiring connections from
the terminals on the main unit.
2. Connect the 24V and FAN terminals
together; only the fan should run. Disconnect
the terminals.
3. Connect the 24V and DEHU terminals
together; fan and compressor should run.
Disconnect the terminals.
4. If this test works, the main unit is working
correctly from a control standpoint.
5. Reconnect field control wiring to the terminals
on the main unit.
6. Remove the control panel cover and detach
the field wiring from the control connections.
7. Connect the 24V and FAN terminals together;
only the fan should run. Disconnect the terminals.
8. Connect the 24V and DEHU terminals together;
fan and compressor should run. Disconnect the
terminals.
9. If this test works, then the field control wiring
is ok.
10. If the problem persists, then the control is
most likely faulty.
