(thermistor temperature

above 268°F or

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.
