NOTES:

1.There is a 3-second pause between alarm code displays.

2.If more than one alarm code exists, all applicable alarm codes will be displayed in numerical sequence.

3.Alarm codes on the IGC will be lost if power to the unit is interrupted.

PROBLEM

Heat Will Not Turn On.

Inadequate Heating.

Heat Will Not Turn Off.

CAUSE

Active alarm.

Unit is NOT configured for heat.

No power to unit.

Unit is in minimum heat off‐time, or minimum cool‐heat changeover time.

Thermostat or occupancy schedule setpoint not calling for heating.

Heat forced off in Service Test mode.

No 24 vac at heater contactor.

Open temperature limit switch on heater.

Dirty air filters.

Thermostat or occupancy schedule setpoint only calling for W1.

Heat undersized for load.

Restricted airflow

Too much outdoor air.

Limit switch cycles heaters.

Bad heater elements.

Unit is in minimum heat on‐time.

Thermostat or occupancy schedule setpoint still calling for heating.

Heat forced on in Service Test mode.

Heater contactor failed.

REMEDY

Check active alarms using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee.

Check heating configurations using the ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee

Check power supply, fuses, wiring, and circuit breakers. Check using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee.

Check using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee.

Check using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee. Turn Service Test mode off.

Check transformer and circuit breaker. Check auto‐reset limit switches on heater.

Check manual‐reset limit switch (LS) on indoor fan housing.

Check minimum airflow. Check limit switch when it is cool, replace if open.

Replace air filters.

Allow time for W2 to energize or adjust setpoints.

Decrease load or increase size of heater.

Remove restriction. Check SAT compared to the SAT heating limits.

Check economizer position and configuration. Adjust minimum position.

Check rotation of blower and minimum airflow.

Power off unit and remove high voltage wires. Check resistance of element, replace if open.

Check using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee.

Check using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee.

Check using ComfortLink Scrolling Marquee. Turn Service Test mode off.

Power off unit. Check contactor and replace if closed.
