TROUBLESHOOTING

The scrolling marquee display shows the actual operating

conditions of the unit while it is running. If there are alarms or

there have been alarms, they will be displayed in either the cur-

rent alarm list or the history alarm list. The Service Test mode

allows proper operation of the compressors, fans, and other

components to be checked while the unit is not operating.

Complete Unit Stoppage —

There are several condi-

tions that can cause the unit not to provide heating or cooling.

If an alarm is active which causes the unit to shut down,

diagnose the problem using the information provided in

the Alarms and Alerts section on page 93, but also check for

the following:
• Cooling and heating loads are satisfied.

• Programmed schedule.

• General power failure.

• Tripped control circuit transformers circuit breakers.

• Tripped compressor circuit breakers.

• Unit is turned off through the CCN network.

Single Circuit Stoppage —

If a single circuit stops

incorrectly, there are several possible causes. The problem

should be investigated using information from the Alarms and

Alerts section on page 93.

Service Analysis —

Detailed service analysis can be

found in Tables 94-96 and in Fig. 14.

Restart Procedure —

Before attempting to restart the

machine, check the alarm list to determine the cause of the

shutdown. If the shutdown alarm for a particular circuit has

occurred, determine and correct the cause before allowing the

unit to run under its own control again. When there is problem,

the unit should be diagnosed in Service Test mode. The alarms

must be reset before the circuit can operate in either Normal

mode or Service Test mode.

Thermistor Troubleshooting —

The electronic con-

trol uses five 5K-thermistors for the saturated condensing

temperature on 48/50AJ,AK,AW,AY units (SCT.A and

SCT.B). See Tables 97 and 98 for temperature vs. resistance

data.

When replacing thermistors SCT.A and SCT.B, reuse the

original hardware. These thermistors must be clamped tightly

to the hairpins of the condenser.

The EDT, OAT, RAT, LAT, T55, T56, and T58 space tem-

perature sensors use 10K thermistors. Resistances at various

temperatures are listed in Tables 99 and 100.
THERMISTOR/TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK — A

high quality digital volt-ohmmeter is required to perform this

check.

1. Connect the digital voltmeter across the appropriate

thermistor terminals at the J8 terminal strip on the main

base board.

2. Using the voltage reading obtained, read the sensor tem-

perature from Tables 97-100.

3. To check thermistor accuracy, measure temperature at

probe location with an accurate thermocouple-type

temperature-measuring instrument. Insulate thermocou-

ple to avoid ambient temperatures from influencing

reading. Temperature measured by thermocouple and

temperature determined from thermistor voltage reading

should be close, 5° F (3° C) if care was taken in applying

thermocouple and taking readings.

If a more accurate check is required, unit must be shut down

and thermistor removed and checked at a known temperature

(freezing point or boiling point of water) using either voltage

drop measured across thermistor at the J8 terminal, or by deter-

mining the resistance with unit shut down and thermistor dis-

connected from J8. Compare the values determined with the

value read by the control in the Temperatures mode using the

scrolling marquee display.
