Table 6. Interface Board Diagnostic codes
The display will alternate between an operating code (Table
5) and a list of the codes for up to the last 20 different faults
or warnings. When this list is being displayed, each fault or
warning code in memory will be displayed for 5 seconds. If
one of the stored coded conditions occurs again, no repeat
entry will be made. Thus, the fault codes in the list are not
necessarily displayed in order of occurrence. Fault codes are
retained through loss of power. The fault code list in memory
can be cleared by shorting the J4 Test pins briefly when the
compressor is off. noTE: This action may also have other
consequences - See Delay Override on page 7.

Instrumentation

The 18 SEER iQ Drive split heat pump includes instrumentation
as listed in Table 7. All items listed are connected to the
interface board except for the high pressure switch. Refer
to Figures 2, 7, 8, and 9. The five temperature sensors are
color coded so that the color of the wire insulation matches
the color of the connector base on the left side of the circuit
board. All temperature sensors are 10k ohm thermistors. The
resistances of these sensors (when disconnected from the
interface board) may be checked against Figure 10 (page 15)
for troubleshooting purposes. Figure 10 shows the thermistor
resistance-temperature curve broken into two parts for ease
of use.

WarnInG:
ElEcTrIcal SHocK, FIrE or EXPloSIon
HaZarD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result
in serious injury or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous
operation, serious injury, death or property damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power
to the equipment.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior to
disconnecting. reconnect wires correctly.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
• Inspect the indoor air filter monthly. Clean or replace it
at the start of each heating and cooling season or when
an accumulation of dust or dirt is visible. If the indoor coil
needs to be cleaned, contact a qualified service technician.
• Inspect the condensate disposal line from the indoor coil
at the beginning of the cooling season to make sure it is
not obstructed.
• Remove any leaves, grass clippings, and debris from the
outdoor unit coil, being careful not to damage the aluminum
fins. Dirt may be cleared from the coil by using a water
hose directed through the discharge fan grille toward the
outside of the unit.
• Have a yearly inspection by a qualified service technician
to ensure that the system is performing at its optimum level.
• At least once a season open the control panel (with power
off) to inspect for and clear out insect structures and/or
cobwebs which might impede airflow through the control
panel compartment and the air inlet louvers at the bottom
of the control compartment.
