Alert Text

Priority

404

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The compressor rotor is
locked up. This could be due to a short cir
cuiting of the run capacitor, seizing of the
bearings or excessive liquid refrigerant etc.

Compressor rotor locked up due to run capacitor short, bearings are seized, excessive liquid
refrigerant, etc. (NOTE: May need to install hard start kit). Clears the error after 4 consecutive
normal run cycles or after power reset.

405

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The compressor circuit is
open. This could be due to a power discon
nection, open fuse etc.

Compressor circuit open (due to power disconnection, open fuse, etc.) Clears the
error after 1 normal compressor run cycle.

406

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The required amount of cur
rent is not passing through the start current
transformer.

Required amount of current is not passing through Start current transformer. Clears the error
after current is sensed in START sensor, or after power reset.

407

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The required amount of cur
rent is not passing through run current trans
former.

Required amount of current is not passing through Run current transformer. Clears the error
after current is sensed in RUN sensor, or 1 normal compressor run cycle, or after power reset

408

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The compressor is running
continuously.

Compressor runs continuously. Clears the error after 1 normal compressor run
cycle or after power reset.

409

(Furnace / Air Handler / Outdoor Unit) The
secondary voltage for the 

(furnace, air-hand

ler or outdoor unit)

 has fallen below 18VAC. If

this continues for 10 minutes, the thermostat
will turn off the 

(furnace, air-handler or out

door unit).

Secondary voltage is below 18VAC. After 10 minutes, operation is discontinued.
Clears the code after voltage is higher than 20 VAC for 2 seconds or after power
reset.

410

Moderate

(Outdoor Unit) The outdoor unit pressure is
below the required limit.

and closes at 90 psig (system restarts).

411

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The low pressure switch has
opened 5 times during one cooling cycle. As
a result, the thermostat has shutdown the
outdoor unit.

Open low pressure switch error count reached 5 strikes. Check system charge using approach
and sub cooling temperatures. Reset by putting outdoor unit control in test mode or resetting
low voltage power.

412

Moderate

(Outdoor Unit) The outdoor unit pressure is
above the required limit. The system will shut
down.

Unit pressure is above the upper limit. System is shut down. The high pressure switch for
HFC410A will open at 590PSIG and close at 418PSIG. Confirm that the system is properly
charged with refrigerant. Check condenser fan motor, TXV, indoor unit blower motor, stuck
reversing valve or clogged refrigerant filter. Confirm that the outdoor unit is clean. The alarm
clears after the pressure switch closes or a power reset

413

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The high pressure switch has
opened 5 times during one cooling cycle. As
a result, the thermostat has shutdown the
outdoor unit.

Open high pressure switch error count reached 5 strikes. Check system charge
using approach and sub cooling temperatures. Check outdoor fan operation. Check for dirt or
debris blocking air flow to outdoor unit. Reset by putting outdoor unit control in test mode or
resetting low voltage power.

414

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The discharge line temperat
ure is higher than the recommended upper
limit of 279ºF.

Discharge line temperature is > 279ºF. Make sure coil is clean and airflow unobstructed in and
out of condenser. Check system operating pressures and compare to unit charging charts in
installation manual. Clears after discharge temperature is < 225ºF.

415

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The discharge line temperat
ure has been consistently higher than the
recommended upper limit of 279ºF.

Discharge line high temperature error count reached 5 strikes. Make sure coil is clean and
airflow unobstructed in and out of condenser. Check system charge using approach and sub
cooling temperatures. Reset by putting outdoor board in test mode or resetting low voltage
power.

416

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The outdoor coil sensor is
either open, short-circuited or the temperat
ure is out of sensor range. As a result the
outdoor unit control will not perform any de
frost tempering.

Sensor being detected open or shorted, or temperature is out of sensor range.
Outdoor unit control will not perform demand or time/temperature defrost operation. (System
will still heat or cool.) Clears when outdoor unit control detects proper sensor readings.

417

Critical

(Outdoor Unit) The outdoor unit sensor is
either open, short-circuited or the temperat

Critical Alert after 10 minutes. Reset by replacing sensor. This fault is detected by allowing the
unit to run for 90 seconds before checking sensor resistance. If the sensor resistance is not
within range after 90 seconds, the board will count one fault. After 5 faults, the board will lock
out. Check for proper sensor reading and attachment to line. Replace if out-of-specifications.
