Condition/Code Possible Cause(s) Solution
OFF OFF Power problem No power (24V) to board termi-
nals R & C or board failure.
1
Check control transformer power (24V).
2
If power is available to board and LED(s) do
not light, replace board.

Initial power up, safety trip, end of
room thermostat demand.
None required (Jumper TEST pins to override)
Simultaneous
FAST Flash
Ambient Sensor Problem Sensor being detected open or shorted or out of temperature range. Board will re-
vert to time/temperature defrost operation. (System will still heat or cool).
Alternating
FAST Flash
Coil Sensor Problem Sensor being detected open or shorted or out of temperature range. Board will not
perform demand or time/temperature defrost operation. (System will still heat or
cool).
ON ON Circuit Board Failure Indicates that board has internal component failure. Cycle 24 volt power to board. If
code does not clear, replace board.

This code detects shorted sensor or high discharge temperatures. If the discharge
line temperature exceeds a temperature of 285ºF (140ºC) during compressor op-
eration the board will de

Discharge Sensor Fault The board detects open sensor or out of temperature sensor range. This fault is
detected by allowing the unit to run for 90 seconds before checking sensor resist-
