If the compressor operates with the module 

bypassed but will not operate when the module 

is reconnected, then the control circuit relay in 

the module is open. The thermistor protection 

chain now needs to be tested to determine if 

the module’s control circuit relay is open due 

to excessive internal temperatures or a faulty 

component.

2.  Check the thermistor protection chain located in 

the compressor as follows:
De-energize control circuit and module power. 

Remove the sensor leads from the module (S1 

& S2). Measure the resistance of the thermistor 

protection chain through these sensor leads with 

an ohmmeter. 

NOTICE ! Use an Ohmmeter with a maximum of 

9 volts to check the sensor chain. The sensor 

chain is sensitive and easily damaged; no 

attempt should be made to check continuity 

through it with anything other than an 

ohmmeter. The application of any external 

voltage to the sensor chain may cause 

damage requiring the replacement of the 

compressor.

The diagnosis of this resistance reading is as 

follows:

•  200 to 2250 ohms – Normal operating range
•  2750 ohms or greater – Compressor 

overheated – Allow time to cool 

•  zero resistance – Shorted sensor circuit – 

Replace the compressor

• 

infinite  resistance  –  Open  sensor  circuit  – 

Replace the compressor 

If the resistance reading is abnormal, remove the 

sensor connector plug from the compressor and 

measure the resistance at the sensor fusite pins. 

This will determine if the abnormal reading was 

due to a faulty connector 
On initial start-up, and after any module trip, the 

resistance of the sensor chain must be below the 

module reset point before the module circuit will 

close. Reset values are 2250-3000 ohms.

3.  If the sensor chain has a resistance that is 

below 2250 ohms, and the compressor will run 

with the control circuit bypassed, but will not 

run when connected properly, the solid state 

module is defective and should be replaced. The 

replacement module must have the same supply 

voltage rating as the original module.

NOTE: The Kriwan INT69 SU2 has been phased 

out of production by Kriwan. Kriwan modules that 

require replacement in the field should be replaced 

with the CoreSense Communications module 

listed  in  Table  4.  Kriwan  to  CoreSense  retrofit 

instructions are listed at the end of this bulletin. 

Field Troubleshooting CoreSense Communications 

Module 

A solid green LED indicates the module is powered 

and operation is normal. A solid red LED indicates an 

internal problem with the module. If a solid red LED is 

encountered, power down the module (interrupt the T1-

T2 power) for 30 seconds to reboot the module. If a solid 

red LED is persistent, change the CoreSense module.

CoreSense communicates 

Warning

 codes via a green 

flashing  LED. 

Warning

 codes do not result in a trip 

or lockout condition. 

Alert

 codes are communicated 

via a red flashing LED. 

Alert

 codes will result in a trip 

condition and possibly a lockout condition.   

Table 6

 lists 

the flash code information for 

Warning

 and 

Alert

 codes 

along with code reset and troubleshooting information. 

For more information on CoreSense please refer to

Copeland Scroll Compressor Functional Check

A functional compressor test with the suction service 

valve closed to check how low the compressor will pull 

suction pressure is 

not

 a good indication of how well a 

compressor is performing. 

Such a test may damage a 

scroll compressor.

 The following diagnostic procedure 

should be used to evaluate whether a Copeland Scroll 

compressor is working properly.

1. 

Proper voltage to the unit should be verified.

2.  The normal checks of motor winding continuity 

and short to ground should be made to determine 

if the inherent overload motor protector has 

opened or if an internal motor short or ground fault 

has developed. If the protector has opened, the 

compressor must be allowed to cool sufficiently to 

allow it to reset.

3.  Proper indoor and outdoor blower/fan operation 

should be verified.

4.  With service gauges connected to suction 

and discharge pressure fittings, turn on the 

compressor. If suction pressure falls below normal
