Temperature Alert
(thermistor temperature
above 268°F or
thermistor is short
circuited)
Modulating capacity compressor will be allowed to
restart after a 30-minute delay and after the thermistor
temperature is below 250°F. Compressor will lockout
after 5 alerts within 4 hours and can only be reset by
cycling the 24VAC power off and on.

General - The digital controller is located in the electrical compartment and acts as the
interface between the digital compressor and the unit controller. If the unit interface dis-
play indicates critical Alarm Code 17, Modulating Capacity Compressor Failure, check
the LED lights on the digital controller.
The alert code (red LED flashes) on the digital controller remains active and the com-
pressor de-energized until the reset conditions have been met or the 24VAC power
is cycled off and on. All Codes except 6 result in compressor (contactor and unloader
valve) being de-energized.
