Sensor Alarms - Carrier VECTOR 6500 Operation & Service Manual

Alarm
Steps
NO.
121 CHECK AMBIENT AIR SENSOR
•
TRIGGER–ON: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor (AAT) is not within the range of -53 to +158°F
(-47° to +70° C.)
•
UNIT CONTROL:
•
RESET CONDITION: Auto Reset when Ambient Air Sensor is in range or alarm may be manually
resetvia keypad or by turning the unit off, then back on again.
NOTE: Follow the steps below until a problem is found. Once a repair or correction has been made, the active
alarm should clear itself (see reset condition above). Operate the unit through the appropriate modes to see if
any active alarm occurs. Continue with the steps below as necessary.
1 Check Sensor
a. Inspect sensor & connector.
b. Check sensor resistance. (See
Note 3 page 7−2.)
2 Check Sensor Wiring
a. Inspect harness & control box
connector pins & terminals. (1MP,
See wiring schematic Section 10.)
b. Power up the microprocessor. See
Note 2 page 7−2. Disconnect
sensor from harness. Check for
2.5 VDC at harness plug between
pins.
Alarm/Cause

7.8 SENSOR ALARMS

Engine and Standby Operation: A value of 122°F (50°C) will be used
for any calculations.
7−65
Corrective Action
No damage to sensor.
No damage, moisture, or corrosion in connector.
10,000 Ohms @ 77°F (25°C.) See Table 8−5 for
complete table of temperatures and resistance
values.
No physical damage to harness.
No damage, moisture, or corrosion in connectors.
Voltage should be 2.5 VDC volts at harness plug be-
tween pins. This verifies microprocessor output and
wiring connections to the sensor.
