Maintenance Troubleshooting Diagnosing a Problem In the event of a problem, always troubleshoot the unit according to: Fault code displayed on the Control Unit. Fault LED if connected. If no indications are displayed, then troubleshoot problem according to the fault symptom as described in the following tables.
Appendix Appendix: Options and Accessories Sensor An optional wall-mounted CO Sensor (433257) may be used to control airflow. The CO sensor measures the level in ppm (parts per million) and the unit adjusts the fan speed accordingly. When the CO level is below the lower threshold (adjustable), the fan will run at Normal speed.
