f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties
The red LED indicates control voltage (10 to 12V at K2) and will remain on unless a
control voltage problem occurs. At startup a 5 second delay occurs while the board
conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when the control switch is moved to the
ICE position.
The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the
table below. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is 1, 4, 3,
2. For more information, see "II.B. Sequence of Operation."

The built in safeties shut down the unit and have alarms as listed below.

Notes
1
High Evaporator Temp.
(temperature > 127°F)
(53°C)
Check for harvest problem (stuck HGV or
relay), hot water entering unit, or shorted
thermistor.
2
Harvest Backup Timer
(harvest > 20 min. for two
cycles in a row)
Check for open thermistor, HGV not
opening, TXV leaking by, low charge or
inefficient Comp
3
Freeze Timer
(freeze > specified setting
for two cycles in a row)
Timer is factory set using
S4 dip switch 9 & 10
Check for a float switch stuck closed (up),
HWV or FWV leaking by, HGV leaking by,
TXV not feeding properly, low charge, or
inefficient compressor.
To manually reset the above safeties, press the alarm reset button with the power
supply on.
6
Low Voltage
(92Vac ±5% or less)
Red LED will turn off if voltage protection
operates.
The control voltage safeties automatically
reset when voltage is corrected.
7
High Voltage
(147Vac ±5% or more)
