TROUBLESHOOTING THE CADM WIRING
Flashing LEDs also indicate wiring problems to the CADM.
See Tables 19 and 20 for discussion of additional LED flash
codes and troubleshooting instructions.

Module locks out compressor when compressor damaging ALERT code appears.
Lockout ALERT codes are noted in the Status LED Description.
During a compressor lock out, 24VAC power must be removed from module to manually reset.
