B: Compressor Not Running, No Start Attempt.

 

Probable cause

Action

1 Supply voltage too low

Check voltage with a digital multi-meter

 

 

at the terminals on the Module. This

 

 

must be 11.7v or more for a 12v supply

 

 

& 24v or more for a 24v supply. Inspect

 

 

power supply, ground connections &

 

 

components for integrity. Check wire

 

 

sizing. Charge batteries if necessary.

2 Supply voltage too high

If a 12v supply is faulty & delivers over

 

 

17v, the compressor will not run. If it is

 

 

over 24v, it will assume that it is a 24v

 

 

supply & act accordingly.

3

Polarity incorrect

Check that the polarity is correct at the

 

 

Module.

4

Faulty thermostat

Remove the thermostat wires & jumper

 

 

the terminals that they were on together

 

 

temporarily. If the system then runs,

 

 

make the connection permanent &

 

 

control the system manually from the

 

 

breaker on your supply panel. Replace

 

 

thermostat as soon as possible.

5

Thermostat wired

Refer to the installation instructions &

 

incorrectly, or faulty

confirm that connections are as they

 

connections.

should be. Ensure that the thermostat

 

 

connectors are pushed firmly on to the

 

 

Module terminals.

6Multi-speed board incorrectly installed (if fitted)

Check to make sure that the 2 connectors at the rear of the multi-speed board are attached to the C & T terminals of the Module.

7 Multi-speed board faulty

Remove board & jumper terminals C &

(if fitted)

T on the Module. Note; If the thermostat

**Optional Part ** wires are connected directly to C & T on the Module, the compressor will run at its slowest speed.

8 Compressor plug not
