* 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.

Status led troubleshooting information
• Run capacitor has failed
• Open circuit in compressor start wiring or connections
— Check wiring and connectors between supply and the compressor S
terminal
• Compressor start winding is damaged
— Check compressor motor winding resistance
• Open circuit in compressor run wiring or connections
— Check wiring and connectors between supply and the compressor r
terminal
• Compressor run winding is damaged
— Check compressor motor winding resistance
• Compressor contactor has failed closed
• Thermostat demand signal not connected to module
• Control circuit transformer is overloaded
• Low line voltage (contact utility if voltage at disconnect is low)
• Check wiring connections
table 3. led diagnostics - continued
• Determine if both r & c module terminals are connected.
• Verify voltage is present at module's r & c terminals.
• Determine if r & y terminals are wired in reverse.
• Verify modules R & C terminals have a constant source.
• Verify y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil.
• Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.
• Verify 24VAC is present across y & c when thermostat demand signal is
preset. If not, r & c are reversed wired.
• Verify r & c terminals are supplied with 19 - 28VAC.
• Verify y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil.
• Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.
• Verify the compressor run and start wires are routed through the module's
current sensing holes.
• Verify the y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil.
• Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.
• Verify the compressor run and start wires are routed through the correct
module sensing holes.
• Determine if module's y terminal is connected.
• Verify y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil.
• Verify 24VAC is present across y & c when thermostat demand signal is
present. If not, r & c are reversed wired.
• Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.
• Review Thermostat Demand Wiring (page 10) for y & c wiring.
