Main Control LED Alert Codes

Main Control LED alert codes (simply referred to as LED alert codes) are located on the Main Control and marked with the following identification.

DS11 AND DS14 LED SYSTEM AND ALERT CODES DS11 (Green) and DS14 (Red) LEDs indicate diagnostics conditions that are listed in Table 9.

These LEDs display fault conditions in system cooling capacity, dehumidification mode, anti−short cycle lockout, high and low pressures, discharge line temperature, outdoor temperature, and discharge sensor failures.

DS15 AND DS13 LED COMPRESSOR ALERT CODES DS15 (Yellow) and DS13 (Red) LEDs indicate diagnostics conditions that are listed in Table 9.

These LEDs display the most common fault conditions in the system. When an abnormal condition is detected, this function communicates the specific condition through LEDs. The diagnostic function is capable of detecting both mechanical and electrical system abnormal conditions.

RESETTING LED ALERT CODES

LED alert codes can be reset either manually or automatically:

1.Manual Reset

Manual reset can be achieve by one of the following methods:

S Disconnect R wire from the Main Control’s R terminal.

S Turning main power OFF and then ON at the unit’s disconnect switch.

After power up, existing code will display for 60 seconds and then clear.

2.Automatic Reset

After an alert is detected, the Main Control continues to monitor the unit’s system and compressor operations. When/if conditions return to normal, the alert code is turned off automatically.

IMPORTANT

LED alert codes do not provide safety protection. The is a monitoring function only and cannot control or shut down other devices.
