STATUS LED

STATUS LED DESCRIPTION

 STATUS LED TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION

Yellow “ALERT”

Flash Code 8

Welded Contactor

Compressor always runs

1. Compressor contactor has failed closed

2. Thermostat demand signal not connected to module

Yellow “ALERT”

Flash Code 9

Low Supply Voltage

Voltage below 18V

1. Control Circuit transformer is overloaded

2. Low line voltage (contact utility if voltage at disconnect is low)

LOCKOUT FLASH CODES

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 2

Yellow Off

Compressor (Pressure) Trip

Compressor is locked out

after 4 consecutive or 10 total

compressor (pressure) trip events

1. Condenser fan is not running

•  Check fan capacitor

•  Check fan wiring and connectors

•  Check fan motor for failure or blockage

2. High head pressure

•  Check high pressure switch if present in system

•  Check if system is overcharged with refrigerant

•  Check for non-condensable in system

3. Condenser coil poor air circulation (dirty, blocked, damaged)

4. Return air duct has substantial leakage

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 3

Yellow Off

Pressure Switch Cycling

Compressor is locked out after 4

consecutive or 10 total pressure

cycling events

1. Time delay relay or control board defective

2. If high pressure switch present go to Flash Code 2 information

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 4

Yellow Off

Locked Rotor

Compressor is locked out after 10

consecutive locked rotor events

1. Run capacitor has failed

2. Low line voltage (contact utility if voltage at disconnect is low)

•  Check wiring connections

3. Excessive liquid refrigerant in compressor

4. Compressor bearings are seized

•  Measure compressor oil level

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 5

Yellow Off

Compressor (Moderate Run)

Trip

1. Evaporator blower is not running

•  Check blower relay coil and contacts

•  Check blower motor capacitor

•  Check blower motor for failure or blockage

•  Check evaporator blower wiring and connectors

•  Check indoor blower control board

•  Check thermostat wiring for open circuit

2. Faulty metering device

•  Check TXV bulb installation (size, location and contact)

•  Check if TXV/fi xed orifi ce is stuck closed or defective

3. Condenser coil poor air circulation (dirty, blocked, damaged)

4. Low refrigerant charge

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 6

Yellow Off

Open Start Circuit

Current only in run circuit

1. Run capacitor has failed

2. Open circuit in compressor start wiring or connections

•  Check wiring and connectors between supply and the compressor “S” terminal

3. Compressor start winding is damaged

•  Check compressor motor winding resistance

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 7

Yellow Off

Open Run Circuit

Current only in start circuit

1. Open circuit in compressor run wiring or connections

•  Check wiring and connectors between supply and the compressor “R” terminal. 

Confirm proper wire routing as shown in 

Figure 3 (page 5)

.

2. Compressor run winding is damaged

•  Check compressor motor winding resistance

Red 

“LOCKOUT”

Flash Code 10

Over Current Protection

Current to PROT is greater than

2A mps

1. Check for contactor shorted to ground

2. Check for mis-wiring to the PROT terminal

* Flash code number corresponds to a number of LED flashes, followed by a pause and then repeated. Trip and alert LED’s flashing at same time 

means control circuit voltage is too low for operation.
