TROUBLESHOOTING
Sequence of Events — Dissipation Mode
1. Refrigerant leaks.
2. Sensor detects leak.
3. Dissipation board sends system in to Dissipation Mode (energizes
G; de-energizes Y and W). Dissipation board displays Flash Code 1
until refrigerant concentration decreases, at which point Flash Code
3 is displayed.
4. Dissipation Mode continues for at least 10 minutes.
5. 5-minute ON delay for system equipment is enabled.
6. System resumes normal operation.
Flash Codes / Actions
For all flash codes, first try power cycling the system to remove the
code.
No power
Verify the wiring to/from pins 1 and 8 on the power harness plug. Check
the 24V system wiring from the transformer.
Flashing 1
Check for refrigerant leaks using an independent R-454B detector. If no
leaks are present, replace the sensor.
Flashing 2
Check both ends of the sensor wire harness to ensure proper attachment.
Power cycle the system to check whether the flash code has been
removed. If the flash code is still present, replace the sensor.
Flashing 3
Check for refrigerant leaks using an independent R-454B detector.
Flashing 4
If the code does not clear after power cycling the system, replace the
dissipation board.
Flashing 5
If the code does not clear after power cycling the system, replace the
sensor.
Flashing 6
Press the test button repeatedly. Power cycle the system. If the button
cannot be reset, replace the dissipation board.
Flashing 7
Verify wiring of all "Y" and "W" wires in the applicable wiring diagram.
Flashing 8
Verify wiring of all "Y" and "W" wires in the applicable wiring diagram.
UNIT START-UP
Refer to outdoor unit Installation Instructions for system start-up
instructions and refrigerant charging method details.

CAUTION
!
UNIT OR PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit or product damage.
Never operate the unit without a filter. Damage to the blower motor or
coil may result. For those applications where access to an internal filter
is impractical, a field supplied filter must be installed in the return duct
system.
