Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING: WHEN SERVICING THE OUTDOOR UNIT, BE SURE TO TURN OFF POWER TO THE INDOOR UNIT.
The outdoor disconnect switch will not cut low voltage power, and damage to the control board will occur if
the main heat pump breaker is not turned off during service.
The following steps are for troubleshooting the pool conditioner. If the problem is with the plenum heater, proceed to that
section at the end of the troubleshooting guide. Repair procedures and reference refrigeration circuit diagrams can be
found later in this manual.
STEP 1:
Verify that the LCD Interface is functioning . If it is not, proceed to POWER SUPPLY TROUBLESHOOTING, otherwise
proceed to STEP 2.
STEP 2:
Record the alarm shown on the LCD Interface or use the PC App Alarms page to determine the alarm type. Proceed to
the ALARMS and/or FAULTS TROUBLESHOOTING section.
STEP 3:
If there are no alarms and STAGE1 is showing ON (LCD Interface, PC App or LED on control board) but the compressor is
not operating, does not attempt to start, attempts to start but cannot, starts hard, or starts but does not sound normal, pro-
ceed to the COMPRESSOR TROUBLESHOOTING section.
STEP 4:
If the compressor starts and sounds normal, the compressor is OK and the problem lies elsewhere. Proceed to the OPER-
ATION TROUBLESHOOTING section.
NOTE:
To speed up the troubleshooting process, if using the PC Application, click on SC Override to reduce the short cycle timer
to 10 seconds.
