Diagnostic Codes —
Diagnostic codes are warnings
of abnormal or fault conditions, and may cause either one
circuit or the whole unit to shut down. They are assigned
code numbers as described below.
Table 22 contains a description of each diagnostic code
error and possible cause. Manual reset is accomplished by
moving the ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position, then back
to ON.
The 2-digit LED display is used to display the diagnostic
codes and the alarm light (located next to display) is ener-
gized whenever a diagnostic code is tripped. When a prob-
lem is suspected, always check the display first for diagnos-
tic information.
NOTE: Codes 53, 54, 57, 58, 61, 62, 65-69, 73, 74, and 77-80
are not used on these units.
IMPORTANT: The microprocessor memory and the
display will be cleared if the power to the microproces-
sor is shut off. DO NOT attempt to bypass, short, or
modify the control circuit or electronic boards in any
way to correct a problem. This could result in a haz-
ardous operating condition.
CODES 51, 52, 55, 56: COMPRESSOR FAILURE — If con-
trol relay (CR) opens while compressor should be operating,
compressor will stop and microprocessor will energize alarm

light and display a code of

,
or
(de-
pending on compressor) when display button is pushed. The
compressor will be locked off; to reset, the ON-OFF switch
must be turned to OFF and then to ON position.
If lead compressor in a refrigerant circuit is shut down,
the other compressor in that circuit will also be shut down
and locked off. Only the error code for the lead compressor
will be displayed.
Code 51 is for compressor 1, and Code 55 is for com-
pressor 2. Codes 52 and 56 are used for compressors 3 and
4, respectively, on size 104 units.
The microprocessor has also been programmed to indi-
cate a compressor failure if CR switch is closed when com-
pressor is not supposed to be on.
If a failure occurs, the following are possible causes:
High-Pressure Switch Open — The high-pressure switch for
each compressor is wired in series with 24-v power that en-
ergizes CR. If high-pressure switch opens during operation,
CR will stop compressor and this will be detected by micro-
processor through the feedback contacts.
Internal Thermostat — The internal thermostat in each 06D
compressor is also wired in series with 24-v power that en-
ergizes CR. If thermostat fails or switch opens during op-
eration of compressor, compressor will shut down and fail-
ure is detected through feedback contacts (size 034 and 038
only).
CR Failure — If CR fails with large relay either open or closed,
microprocessor will detect this, lock compressor off, and in-
dicate an error.
Relay Board Failure — If small 24-v relay on the relay board
fails, microprocessor will detect this through feedback con-
tacts and indicate an error.
Processor Board Failure — If hardware that monitors feed-
back switch fails and processor board fails to energize the
relay board relay to ON position, an error may be indicated.
The control does not detect compressor circuit breaker
failures.
Wiring Problem — A wiring error or a loose wire may cause
the feedback circuit to be broken.

NOTES:
1. Illegal unit configuration caused by missing programmable header or both unloader DIP switches on.
2. All auto. reset failures that cause the unit to stop will restart when the error has been corrected.
3. All manual reset errors must be reset by turning the control switch off and then back on.
4. Valid resistance range for the thermistors is 363,000 to 585 ohms.
5. Codes 53, 54, 57, 58, 61, 62, 65-69, 73, 74, and 77-80 are not used on these units.
