Refer to table at right to see how to operate 
the unit using its integrated control.

If a problem occurs during the unit operation, its integrated control LED (

SEQUENCE

 

The unit boot sequence is similar to a personal computer boot sequence. Each time the unit is plugged after being unplugged, or 
after a power failure, the unit will perform a 30-second booting sequence before starting to operate. During the booting sequence, 
the integrated control LED will light GREEN or AMBER for 5 seconds, and then will shut off for 2 seconds. After that, the LED 
will light RED for the rest of the booting sequence. During this RED light phase, the unit is checking and resetting the motorized 
damper position. Once the motorized damper position completely set, the RED light turns off and the booting sequence is done. 

 

NOTE: No command will be taken until the unit is fully booted.

EFROST

 

These units are factory set to normal defrost. In cold region (outside temperature -27°C [-17°F] and lower), it may be necessary 
to setup extended defrost. During the first 2 seconds of booting sequence, while the integrated control LED is GREEN, press on 
push button for 3 seconds to set the unit in extended defrost; the LED will blink AMBER to show the unit is in extended defrost 
mode. After that, the LED will shut off, then light RED (the unit returns in its booting sequence).
