ONLY ACTIVE WHEN
AN ELECTRONIC

SELECTED:
Red LED is illuminated.
System cannot operate
while this alarm is
present.
Temperature sensor is
shorted or open (not
connected).
SUt - T1 SUCTION TEMP
• If SUt reads -88 the sensor is open, or not
connected.
• If SUt reads 180+ the sensor is shorted.
•
The majority of sensor alarms and inaccurate readings are caused by cut,
burned, cha
ff
ed or otherwise damaged sensor cable. Inspect the length of
the cable for any cut, burned, cha
ff
ed or otherwise damaged sections. Repair
any damaged sections
• Check that the sensor is inserted into the proper position on the board. The
sensor is not polarized; black and white wires can be inserted in either posi-
tion on the connector:
Suction Temp:
black connector labeled
TSUC
.
Air Temp:
blue connector labeled
TAIR
.
Coil Temp:
yellow connector labeled
TCOIL
.
2nd Coil Temp/Aux 1 Temp:
green connector labeled
AUX1
.
Aux 2 Temp:
black connector labeled
AUX2
.
Aux 3 Temp:
black connector labeled
AUX3
.
• The bare stranded wire of the temperature sensor should be inserted so that
the wire is directly touching the gate of the connector. If the gate is con-
tacting the insulation of the wire, it will not allow the controller to read the
sensor.
• If wires have been extended, check for any bad splices, crimps or solder joints
where extended.
• Check the sensor probe. If the sensor cable has been pulled, the sensor
probe may have been damaged, and needs to be replaced.
• To verify accuracy of the sensor, the preferred method is to place the sensor
in a proper ice bath while connected to the controller. View
SUt
on variables
menu, temperature should read around 32.0°F. If adjustment is necessary, an
o
ff
set can be applied via the browser interface.
• Sensor accuracy can also be veri
fi
ed using a third party thermometer, how-
ever, it must be calibrated and rated to measure low temperatures.
• Unplug the connector and check that the resistance reading of the sensor
matches the temperature vs. resistance table.

• If temperature appears to be within the proper operating range, swap a non-
alarming sensor with the sensor being diagnosed.
• If the new sensor is read properly by the controller, the sensor being diag-
nosed will need to be replaced.
• If the sensor was disconnected for diagnostic purposes, return the sensor
to the appropriate location on the controller once diagnostics are complete.
