Digital Display

The AHU Control Kit is equipped with a receiver that has 

a digital display that provides an error code. Refer to 

Table 9 to view the error codes. 
The error code will replace the temperature setting 

displayed on the receiver. If more than one error has 

occurred, the codes will alternate so that all codes are 

shown. 

Troubleshooting

Make note of the code (E1, EE, etc.), then reset the 

display by pressing the ON/OFF button on the unit 

controller. Press the ON/OFF button a second time 

to reapply power to unit. If the code is still displayed, 

disconnect and restore power at the unit disconnect 

switch or circuit breaker. If the problem was temporary, 

the code will not reappear. If the error code reappears 

after power has been broken and restored at the 

disconnect switch or circuit breaker, call VRF Technical 

Support 1-844-438-8731.
