TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
Ifthelightonthemoduleisoncontinuously,thefaultislikelytobeinternaltothe
module.Tomakesure,interruptlineor24voltthermostatpowerforafewseconds
andthenrestore.Ifinternalfaultisindicatedagain,andamesensorisnotshorted
toground,replacecontrol.Aashinglightindicatestheproblemismostlikelyinthe
external components or wiring. Proceed as follows:
WARNING
!
Failure to read and follow all
instructions carefully before in-
stalling or operating this control,
could cause personal injury and/
or property damage.
WARNING
!
Turn power off before any troubleshooting or servicing begins.
Line voltage (120 VAC) could be present on the surface of the ignitor, if the sys-
tem is not correctly wired. Such voltage can cause serious injury or death.
Thefollowingstepsmustbeperformedrstbeforeanytroubleshootingbegins.
1)Disconnectelectricpowertosystematmainfuseorcircuitbreaker.
2)Visuallyinspectequipmentforapparentdamage.Checkwiringforloose
connections.
3)Checkforpropergroundingandreversedpolarity.
A. CheckcontinuityforCterminalonmoduletoelectricalservicegroundand
connectionatthefurnacejunctionbox.Ifgroundconnectionisopen,check
module ground connection and the electrical service ground connection.
Repair and retest.
B. Re-connect electric power to system.
C. Checkforvoltagebetweenthelineneutralterminalandfurnaceground.If
voltage exists, the main power supply lines are improperly connected to the
furnace (REVERSED POLARITY). Again disconnect electric power to system;
then reverse incoming supply leads to furnace. Repeat step.
D. Rechecksystemforproperoperation.
If neither apparent damage, loose connection nor reversed polarity is the problem,
proceed to troubleshooting chart or fault index chart that is suggested by the actual
condition.
NOTE: This troubleshooting guide is not for 50A55-4XX modules found on Trane
equipmentor50A55-1XXmodulesfoundonLennoxequipment.
