	• Confirm that the wiring connections for the air block interlock switches are
	secure.
Air Filter Clogged	• Verify the condition of the return air filters, and replace them if required.
	• Check the pressure drop across the filters by reviewing the System status.
	• Ensure that the pressure-sensing tubing is properly connected to the sensors.
	• Verify that the ends of the pressure-sensing tubing are not blocked or placed
	incorrectly.
	• Verify that the correct filter is selected in the System Options menu (Path:

	• Check the pressure drop across the evaporator coil on the Pressures screen
	of the display interface (Path: Main Menu > Status > [Module] >
	Pressures). The reading should be close to the recommended coil differential
	pressure drops indicated in the table “Coil Differential Pressure Values” on
	page 32. If the reading is too low based on Module size and options installed,
	adjust the blower speed.
	• Verify the proper operation of the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and
	blower motors.
	• Verify that the VFD overload alarm is not active.
Backup is Load Sharing	• A backup System is contributing to meet the room load.
