Q. What does a single (1) flash mean in test mode?

Q. What does test mode do to the operation of the unit?
A. Test Mode allows the service personnel to check the operation of the control in a timely manner. By momentarily shorting the test terminals or switches, the Control enters a 20-minute Test Mode period in which all time delays are sped up 15 times.
Q. How to retrieve fault code?
A. In Test Mode, The Alarm Relay will cycle on and off similar to the fault LED to indicate a code representing the last fault, at the thermostat. Count the number of flashes and compare to the “LED and Alarm Relay Output Table” in the unit IOM.
Q. What does the # of flashes mean?
A. “Flashing Appropriate Code” means that the Fault LED will always flash a code representing the last fault in memory. If there is no fault in memory, the Fault LED will
flash code 1.
Q. What is slow flash and fast flash?
A. Slow flash will be 1 flash per every 2 seconds. It is displayed when the control is in Fault Retry mode. See IOM for more details.

Q. What is a CO fault?
A. “Condensate Overflow” Code = 6 – The Condensate Overflow sensor must sense overflow levels for 30 continuous seconds to be recognized as a CO fault.

Condensate overflow will be monitored during compressor run cycle.
