11. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problems Possible causes You should try this
1. Unit does not work. •The circuit board may be defective. •Unplug the unit.Disconnect the main
control and the auxiliary control(s)
(if need be). Jump G and B terminals.
Plug the unit back and wait about
10 seconds. If the motors run on
high speed and the damper opens,
the circuit board is not defective.
2. The damper actuator •The damper actuator or the integrated •Unplug the unit.Disconnect the main control and the optional control(s)
does not work. damper port mechanism may be defective. (if need be).Wait 10 seconds and plug the unit back.Check if the damper
opens. If not, use a multimeter and check for 24V AC on J12-1 and J12-2
(in electrical compartment).If there is 24V AC, replace the entire port assembly.
NOTE:It is normal to experience a small delay (7-8 seconds) before
detecting the 24V AC signal at starting-up.This signal will stay
during 17-18 seconds before disappearing.
•The circuit board may be defective. •If there is no 24V AC, replace the circuit board.

on J4-1 and J4-2 (for supply motor), and on J5-1 and J5-2 (for exhaust
motor). The reading must be ± 68 V AC. Then set the unit on high
speed by pressing on the integrated control 1 more time (the LED will
light GREEN). Using a multimeter, check the voltage on J4-1 and J4-2
(for supply motor), and on J5-1 and J5-2 (for exhaust motor). The
reading must be ± 120 V AC.If all the readings correspond to the right
voltage values, the circuit board is not defective. If one or both readings
are different, change the circuit board.
•The motor(s) may be defective. •Using a multimeter, check the ohms value on each motor connectors. Blac

± 55 ohms.For BLUE and BROWN motor wires, the right value is ± 35 ohms.
For BROWN and BLACK motor wires, the right value is ± 89 ohms.Alumin

For BLUE and BROWN motor wires, the right value is ± 47 ohms.For BROWN
and BLACK motor wires, the right value is ± 98 ohms.If the ohm values
are the same, the motor is not defective. Replace the motor capacitor.

If the integrated control LED of the unit is flashing, this means the unit sensors detected a problem.See the table below to know where on the unit the problem occurs.
LED flashes GREEN. • Thermistor error. Replace the entire port assembly (fresh air from outside port).
LED flashes AMBER. • Damper error. Go to Point 6.
LED flashes RED. • The door is open and the unit is not unplugged. Close the door and press once on the integrated control
push button to reset the unit.
• Exhaust motor error. Go to Point 5.
