open.						that 24 vac is present at the IFO terminal. Check whether 24 vac is
						present at PL6-1 (red wire) and/or PL6-3 (black wire). If 24 vac is
						not present, check wiring (see unit label diagram).
					2.	Check proper thermostat connection to G on the connection board.
		No power to economizer motor.			1.	Check that SW3 is properly making contact with the damper
						blade. Check that SW1 is in the NC (normally closed) position.
					2. Check diode D18. If diode is not functioning properly, replace control
						board.
					3.	Confirm that the economizer control board is grounded properly at
						PL6-4 (brown wire) and at brown terminal of the economizer control
						board (brown wire). The economizer motor must also be grounded
						properly at the negative motor terminal (brown wire).
					4.	Verify SW1 and SW3 are working and wired properly (see unit label
						diagram).
					5.	Check for 24 vac input at both PL6-1 (red wire) and PL6-3 (black
						wire). If 24 vac not present, check unit wiring (see unit label
						diagram). If 24 vac is found in both places, check for 24 vac at the
						yellow terminal of the economizer control board (yellow wire). If
						24 vac power is not present, replace the economizer control board.
		Economizer motor failure.			If the indoor (evaporator) fan and economizer motor are energized,
					verify that there is a minimum of 18 vdc at the positive motor
					terminal. If the motor is not operating, replace the motor.

						not present, check wiring (see unit label diagram).
					2.	Verify that SW1 and SW3 are wired correctly and working properly
						(see unit label diagram).
					3.	Check to ensure that 24 vac exists at PL6-2 (blue wire). If 24 vac is
						not present, check wiring (see unit wiring label diagram).
					4.	Check 24 vac output at PL6-10 (white wire). If 24 vac is not
						present, replace economizer control board.
		Check SAT.			1.	After verifying that the OAT and EC settings and the economizer
						control board wiring are correct, check to ensure that the 24 vac
						terminal of the SAT has 24 vac (white wire). If OAT, EC, and control
						board are functioning and wired properly and no 24 vac exists,
						check wiring (see unit label diagram).
					2.	If supply-air temperature is greater than 57 F, 24 vac should be
						found at terminal T2 on the SAT (pink wire). If 24 vac is not present,
						replace SAT.

					2.	If the damper does not move, check for 24 vac at PL6-1 (red wire).
						If 24 vac is not present, check wiring (see unit label diagram).
					3.	If damper still does not move, check for 24 vac at blue terminal of
						economizer control board (blue wire). If 24 vac is not present, re-
						place the economizer circuit board.
		Check SAT.			1.	After verifying that the wiring is correct and the economizer control
						board is functioning properly, place the OAT or EC switch in the
						closed position. Place a call for Y1 and open the damper to the fully
						open position. Confirm that the 24 vac terminal of the SAT has
						24 vac (white wire). If 24 vac is not present, check wiring (see unit
						label diagram).
					2.	If supply-air temperature is less than 52 F, 24 vac should be found
						at terminal T1 on the SAT (violet wire). If 24 vac not found, replace
						SAT.
		Economizer motor failure.			If economizer control board and SAT are functioning properly, verify
					that there is a minimum of 18 vdc at the positive motor terminal. If a
					minimum if 18 vdc is present and the motor is still not operating, re-
					place the motor.

					2.	If the close-on-power-loss and economizer control board are

						of the economizer control board (blue wire) when power is discon-
						nected from unit. If 14 vdc is not present, replace the control board.
