This message is displayed after initiating the SELF TEST feature. This indicates the 
controller is functioning properly and the problem is likely to be with the sensor. 
However, the wiring between the controller front panel circuit board and the 
external sensor connector should be checked for breakage or wear. See diagram in 
figure 3. 

 

FAIL 

 

This message is displayed after initiating the SELF TEST feature. The controller is 
probably defective. Make sure to disconnect the sensor prior to attempting the self 
test.  Consult your factory representative for service options.

Policy 

 

The WCU Series Copper Controller has a 2-year warranty on electronic components 
and a 1-year warranty on mechanical parts (keypad, terminal strip and relays). 
 
We stock circuit boards for immediate exchange after we have isolated the cause of 
the problem. 
 
Factory authorized repairs that are received by next-day-air will be returned within 
24 hours. Normal priority for returns is two weeks. 
 
Out of warranty repairs or circuit board exchanges are done on a flat fee basis after 
the warranty is expired.
