Troubleshooting
–
Unmatched Outdoor Units
FAULT
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REMEDY/ACTION
Unit will not start
No power
Check power supply to the controller
Wired incorrectly
Check wire connections in accordance with wiring
diagram on control box lid
Loose wires
Check all wires, connections, terminals etc
Head pressure too high
Condenser coil clogged or dirty
Clean condenser
Overcharge of refrigerant, normally troublesome
in warm weather
Reclaim excess refrigerant from system
Air or other non-condensable gas in system
Evacuate system and re-charge with new
refrigerant
Head pressure controller faulty
Check fan speed controller - if faulty - replace
Fan not operating or operating inefficiently
Check motor - if faulty - replace
Head pressure too low
Fan operating too fast in low ambient conditions Check fan speed controller adjustment - if faulty -
replace
Condenser fan not operating -
power on
Power supply failure
Check power supply at circuit breaker
Wiring to motor
Check voltage at motor terminals
Motor / fan assembly jammed
Isolate unit and check free rotation of motor/fan
assembly, if faulty - replace
Motor internal overheat protector tripped
Carry out continuity check at terminals “TK” in
motor terminal box, if tripped and motor hot -
check bearings, if tripped and motor cold - replace
motor
Faulty motor windings/capacitor
Motor humming would indicate fault in motor or
capacitor, check windings for continuity and if OK
replace capacitor
Minimum speed set too low
Adjust head pressure controller to suit
Faulty pressure sensor
Check electrical connections are secure at
controller and pressure sensor, replace controller
and sensor (as they are matched sets)
Faulty fan speed controller
Link wires “line” and “load” to bypass controller, if
motor runs full speed - replace unit
Condenser fan runs too fast
High ambient condition or excessive re-
circulation of air around condenser coil
Check installation against design
Minimum set speed setting incorrect
Adjust as necessary
Incorrect pressure sensor setting
Adjust sensor screw as necessary
Faulty fan speed controller
Replace controller and sensor (as they are
matched sets)
Faulty pressure sensor
Replace controller and sensor (as they are
matched sets)
Condenser fans runs only
slowly
Incorrect pressure setting
Adjust sensor screw as necessary
Faulty fan speed controller
Replace controller and sensor (as they are
matched sets)
Faulty pressure sensor
Replace controller and sensor (as they are
matched sets)
Motor/capacitor faulty
Replace
