TABLE 9 FAULT CODES FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS DUAL FAULTS DISPLAYED The method for displaying a two-digit fault is to display the first digit (most significant) digit for one second immediately followed by the second digit - which is also displayed for a duration of one second. A 1/2 second pause is then displayed. Cycle repeats until the fault is cleared.
TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS FAILED IGNITION STATUS: Up to three failed ignitions will not constitute a critical condition. Critical condition (with no heating operation) is only noted when the furnace has failed to ignite four or more times consecutively. After four failed ignition attempts, the IFC enters one-hour lockout and the dual faults "11 "...
Page 36
TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS FLAME LOST AFTER ESTABLISHED STATUS: Flame loss is not a critical fault. Subsequent ignition attempts will follow and normal operation should resume. However, a lost flame can often be followed by failed ignition attempts then a one-hour lockout. Once the status has reached one-hour lockout, the fault condition is critical (although attempts at ignition will be made again after the 1 hour lockout).
Page 37
TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS MAIN LIMIT OPEN/AUXILIARY LIMIT OPEN STATUS: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in gas heat modes but all other modes (e.g. cooling) should function. DESCRIPTION: The main limit auxiliary limit has opened or is sensed to be opened. This normally means that the temperature inside the heat exchanger area or blower area has gone above a certain predetermined critical value and heating operation is not permitted until the limit cools to within normal parameters.
Page 38
MANUAL RESET OVER-TEMPERATURE SWITCH OPEN STATUS: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in gas heat modes but all other modes (e.g. cooling) should function. DESCRIPTION: The Manually Reset Limit Control (M.R.L.C.) is also known by the name over temperature switch. There can be several on any given furnace.
Page 39
TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS COMBUSTION PRESSURE SWITCH CLOSED WHEN SHOULD BE OPEN STATUS: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in gas heat modes but all other modes (e.g. cooling) should function if present simultaneously with a heating call (e.g. defrost call in dual-fuel mode). DESCRIPTION: The combustion pressure switch should not be closed when the inducer is not running.
Page 40
TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS COMBUSTION PRESSURE SWITCH OPEN WHEN SHOULD BE CLOSED STATUS: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in gas heat modes but all other modes (e.g. cooling) should function if present simultaneously with a heating call (e.g. defrost call in dual-fuel mode). DESCRIPTION: This fault indicates that the pressure switch is open when the inducer is energized.
Page 41
TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS BLOWER FAULT - DEAD BLOWER STATUS: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in any mode. DESCRIPTION: The blower has failed critically or there is a critical motor fault - such as thermal limit trip that prevents the blower motor from running.

TABLE 9 FAULT CODES WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS VENTURI AIR INLET PRESSURE SWITCH OPEN STATUS: This is a critical fault. The furnace will not operate in gas heat modes but all other modes (e.g. cooling) should function if present simultaneously with a heating call (e.g. defrost call in dual-fuel mode). DESCRIPTION: There is an obstruction at or near the inlet of the fuel and air mixing venturi.

UNIT OPERATION WITH TWO-STAGE FIGURE 31 COOLING ECM MOTOR SETTINGS The R801V unit provides distinct airflows for two-stage cooling. Unit operation is defined as: • Y1 – First Stage Cooling • Y2 – Second Stage Cooling A 24VAC signal provides input for the cooling stages . NOTE: A 24VAC input to the Y2 terminal overrides the input to the Y1 terminal .
