operating voltage range indicated on the unit
nameplate or on the performance data sheet. On three
phase units (single stage units only) phases must be
balanced within 2%.
CAUTION: Operation of unit on improper line voltage

TROUBLE SHOOTING
ENTIRE UNIT DOES Power supply off Apply power, close disconnect
NOT RUN Blown fuse Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Check for correct fuses.
Voltage supply low If voltage is below minimum voltage specified on unit data plate, contact local power company.
Thermostat Set the fan to "ON", the fan should run. Set thermostat to "COOL" and lowest temperature
setting, the unit should run in the cooling mode (reversing valve energized). Set unit to "HEAT"
and the highest temperature setting, the unit should run in the heating mode. If neither the
blower or compressor run in all three cases, the thermostat could be miswired or faulty.To
ensure miswired or faulty thermostat verify 24 volts is available on the condensing section low
voltage terminal strip between "R" and "C", "Y" and "C", and "O" and "C". If the blower does
not operate, verify 24 volts between terminals "G" and "C" in the air handler. Replace the
thermostat if defective.
Compressor overload open If the compressor is cool and the overload will not reset, replace compressor.
Compressor motor grounded Internal winding grounded to the compressor shell. Replace compressor. If compressor
burnout, install suction filter dryer.
Compressor windings open After compressor has cooled, check continuity of the compressor windings. If the windings are
open, replace the compressor.
UNIT OFF ON In "COOLING" mode: Lack of or inadequate water flow. Entering water temperature too warm.
HIGH PRESSURE Discharge pressure too high Scaled or plugged condenser.
CONTROL In "HEATING" mode: Lack of or inadequate air flow. Blower inoperative, clogged filter or
restrictions in ductwork.
Refrigerant charge The unit is overcharged with refrigerant. Reclaim refrigerant, evacuate and recharge with
factory recommended charge.
High pressure Check for defective or improperly calibrated high pressure switch.
UNIT OFF ON Suction pressure too low In "COOLING" mode: Lack of or inadequate air flow. Entering air temperature too cold. Blower
LOW PRESSURE inoperative, clogged filter, or restrictions in ductwork.
In "HEATING" mode: Lack of or inadequate water flow. Entering water temperature too cold.
CONTROL
Scaled or plugged condenser.
Refrigerant charge The unit is low on refrigerant. Check for refrigerant leak, repair, evacuate and recharge with
factory recommended charge.
Low pressure switch Check for defective or improperly calibrated low pressure switch.
Thermostat Thermostat installed near a supply air grill, relocate thermostat. Readjust heat anticipator.
Wiring and controls Loose connections in the wiring or a defective compressor contactor.
INSUFFICIENT Unit undersized Recalculate heating and or cooling loads. If excessive, possibly adding insulation and shading

Airflow Lack of adequate air flow or improper distribution of air. Replace dirty filter.
Refrigerant charge Low on refrigerant charge causing inefficient operation.
Compressor Check for defective compressor. If discharge is too low and suction pressure is too high,
compressor is not pumping properly. Replace compressor.
Reversing valve Defective reversing valve creating bypass of refrigerant from discharge to suction side of
compressor. Replace reversing valve.
Operating pressures Compare unit operating pressures to the pressure / temperature chart for the unit.
TXV Check TXV for possible restriction or defect. Replace if necessary.
Moisture, noncondensables The refrigerant system may be contaminated with moisture or noncondensables. Reclaim
refrigerant, evacuate and recharge with factory recommended charge. Note: a liquid line dryer
may be required.
