Troubleshooting  

If  you see an error code and are not sure what it means, look it up in 

Alarm settings and conditions

 

on page 13, and then follow the instructions to resolve the condition. 

The following table lists some problems, possible causes, and possible solutions. If  you are having a 
problem using the NVC-2, see if  the problem is in the following table and then follow the directions 
for correcting the problem. 

 

Problem 

Possible cause 

Possible solution 

The power supply components 
are blown, or there are burn 
marks on boards and 
components. 
Motors and fans slow down or 
stop. 

There has been a power surge, 
brownout, or power outage. 

 

Avoid the problem in future by providing 
proper voltage and protection for the control. 

There is no power/display. 

A circuit breaker at service panel is off 
or tripped. 

 

Reset the circuit breaker. 

The incoming power wiring is 
incorrect. 
 
 
 

 

Correct the wiring. 

The display shows unusually 
high or low temperature. 

 

The probe is not a Phason probe.  

 

Remove the probe and then install a Phason 
probe. 

The extension cable connected to the 
temperature probe is providing a poor 
connection 

 

Check the extension cable connection and re-
solder it if necessary. 

The temperature probe is damaged. 

 

Replace the probe. 

The curtain opens when it 
should close, or closes when it 
should open 

The wiring is incorrect; the close and 
open wires are reversed. 

 

Correct the wiring. For more information, read 

Connecting a curtain machine

 on page 6. 

The alarm relay is not operating 
the alarm system. 

The alarm wiring is incorrect. 

 

Correct the wiring. For more information, read 

Connecting an alarm system

 

on page 7. 

 

 

Optional accessories and kits 

Phason Rain Sensor 

The Phason Rain Sensor (model PRS) connects to the 
NVC-2 and allows it to close the curtain when rainfall is 
detected.  

When the sensor detects rain, it sends a signal to the NVC-
2. When the NVC-2 receives the signal, it completely closes 
the curtain, bypassing the on and off  durations. After 15 
minutes with no rain, the control returns to normal operation.
