NOTE: Factory installed modules may have
different thermostat demand signal wiring,
follow manufacturers wiring installations
when replacing module.
NOTE: After the thermostat demand signal is
connected, verify Y is phased properly with
C by measuring 24 VAC across Y and C when
demand is present.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Interpreting The Diagnostic LEDs – When an
abnormal system condition occurs, the Comfort
Alert
module displays the appropriate ALERT
TM
and/or TRIP LED. The yellow alert LED will flash
a number of times consecutively, pause and
then repeat the process. To identify a Flash
Code number, count the number of consecutive
flashes. Every time the module powers up, the
last ALERT Flash Code that occurred prior to
shut down is displayed for one minute.
Cooling — Gradually lower the thermostat
temperature setpoint below the actual room
temperature and observe that the outdoor unit
and indoor blower energize. Feel the air being
circulated by the indoor blower and verify that
it is cooler than ambient temperature. Listen
for any unusual noises. If present, locate and
determine the source of the noise and correct
as necessary.
Heating — If provided with heating equipment,
lower the thermostat setpoint temperature to the
lowest obtainable setting and set the thermostat
function switch to HEATING. The indoor blower
and outdoor unit should stop running. Increase
the setpoint temperature of the thermostat to
the maximum setting. Verify that the heating
equipment has been energized (i.e., fossil fuel
burner operating, etc.) and that the indoor blower
energizes after a short period of time. Feel the
air being circulated by the indoor blower and
verify that it is warmer than ambient temperature.
Listen for any unusual noises. If present, locate
and determine the source of the noise and cor-
rect as necessary.
NOTE: Other sources for heating (i.e.: electric
furnace, fossil fuel furnace, air handler with
electric heat options, etc.) that interface with
the unit should be functionally checked to verify
system operation and compatibility. Refer to the
installation instructions for this equipment and
perform a functional checkout in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Adjustment of Refrigerant Charge:
CAUTION:
Split system air conditioner equipment
contains liquid and gaseous refrigerant
under pressure. Adjustment of
refrigerant charge should only be
attempted by qualified, trained
personnel thoroughly familiar with the
equipment. Under no circumstances
should the homeowner attempt to
install and/or service this equipment.
Failure to comply with this warning
could result in equipment damage,
personal injury, or death.
NOTE: The following Refrigerant Charging
Charts are applicable to matched assemblies
of our equipment and at listed airflows for the
indoor coil. Assemblies of indoor coils and
outdoor units not listed are not recommended
and deviations from rated airflows or non-listed
equipment combinations may require modifica-
tions to the expansion device(s) and refrigerant
charging procedures for proper and efficient
system operation.
Refrigerant Charging Chart — Refer to
Refrigerant Charging Charts for correct system
charging, and to Orifice Usage Chart for correct
restrictor sizes.
NOTE: Linesets over 15 feet in length may
require additional refrigerant charge. NORDYNE
recommends 0.6 oz. of refrigerant per foot for
any lineset over 15 feet.
Optional Equipment — A functional checkout
should be performed in accordance with the
checkout procedures supplied with the equip-
ment.
