Green Power" LED ON Module has power 24VAC control power is present at the module terminal.
Green Power" LED
OFF
Module not powering up
Determine/verify that both R and C module terminals are connected
and voltage is present at both terminals.
Red Trip" LED ON System and compressor
check out OK
1.
Verify Y terminal is connected to 24VAC at contactor coil.
2.
Verify voltage at contactor coil falls below 0.5VAC when off.
3.
Verify 24VAC is present across Y and C when thermostat
demand signal is present; if not present, R and C wires are reversed.
Thermostat demand signal
Y1 is present, but compres-
sor not running
1.
Compressor protector is open.
2.
Outdoor unit power disconnect is open.
3.
