Repair
Condition
Possible Cause
Solution
Reduced heating capacity
Excessively frosted Coil
Ensure Defrost function is enabled and adjusted for local condtions.
Vegetation or debris too close to the
outside coil, blocking airflow
Clear space around the outdoor unit according to the drawings in the Unit
Installation section
Fouled or dirty outside coil
Clean outside coil fins with commercial cleaner. Take care to avoid
bending or crushing fins
Reduced fan performance
Review the fan parameters F04 to F07 to ensure that the fans are
reaching maximum speed at design heating conditons. Inspect fans for
damaged or missing blades.
Extremely cold ambient termperature
It is normal for the heating capacity to be reduced as the outdoor
temperature falls.
Excessive frost on outside
coil in heating
Some frost visible on the fins is
normal, but excessive ice blockinig
airflow should be addressed
Ensure Defrost function is enabled and adjusted for local condtions.
Innacurate Coil Temperature Sensor
Verify Status reading temperature 06 against known device placed on coil
outlet plumbing
Reduced Cooling Capacity
Insufficient water flow
Ensure the pump is in good operating conditon, and is able to provide at
least 12 GPM against the entire system pressure drop. Check plumbing
system for blockage or restristive pipe size or fittings.
Vegetation or debris too close to the
outside coil, blocking airflow
Clear space around the outdoor unit according to the drawings in the Unit
Installation section
Fouled or dirty outside coil
Clean outside coil fins with commercial cleaner. Take care to avoid
bending or crushing fins
Reduced fan performance
Review the fan parameters F08 to F11 to ensure that the fans are
reaching maximum speed at design cooling conditons. Inspect fans for
damaged or missing blades.
Abnormal Compressor noise Liquid slugging due to overcharged
refrigeration system
Ensure the system is charged by weight of refrigeration, with adjustments
according to unit Rating Label and SIS Charging Table
Excessive Discharge Pressure
Ensure sufficient outdoor airflow in Cooling, or indoor water flow in Heating
Supply water temperature should not exceed 140 deg F
Low input voltage
Ensure line voltage is a minumum of 220V during steady state operation
Damaged or failed compressor
