Status Codes
Table 5 shows the status codes flashed by the amber status light.
Most system problems can be diagnosed by reading the status code
as flashed by the amber status light on the control board.
The codes are flashed by a series of short and long flashes of the
status light. The short flashes indicate the first digit in the status
code, followed by long flashes indicating the second digit of the
error code.
The short flash is 0.25 seconds ON and the long flash is 1.0 second
ON. Time between flashes is 0.25 seconds. Time between short
flash and first long flash is 1.0 second. Time between code
repeating is 2.5 seconds with LED OFF.
EXAMPLE:
3 short flashes followed by 2 long flashes indicates a 32 code.
Table 5 shows this to be low pressure switch open.

Invalid Model P lug 25
Control does not detect a model plug or detects an invalid model plug. Uni t

High---pressure switch trip. Check refrigerant charge, outdoor fan operation
and coils for airflow restrictions.

Low---pressure switch or discharge temperature switch trip. Check refrigerant
charge and in door air flow.
Control Fault 45 Outdoor unit control board has failed. Control board ne eds to be replaced.
Brown Out (230 v) 46
Line voltage < 187v for at l ea st 4 seconds. Compressor and fan operation
not allowed until voltage>
190v. Verify line voltage.
No 230v at Unit 47
There is no 230v at the contactor when indoor unit is powered and cooling/
heating demand exists. Verify the disconnect is closed an d 230v wiring is
connected to the unit.

Outdoor air sensor not reading or out of range. Ohm out sensor and check
wiring.

Low Stage
Thermal Cutout
71*
Compres s or operation detected then disappears while low stage demand
exists. Possible causes are internal compressor overload trip or start relay
and capacitor held in circuit too long (if installed).
High Stage
Thermal Cutout
72*
Compres s or operation detected then disappears while high stage demand
exists. Possible causes are internal compressor overload trip or start relay
and capacitor held in circuit too long (if installed).
Contactor Shorted 73
Compressor voltage sens ed when no d emand for c ompressor operation
exists. Contactor may be stuck closed or there i s a wiring error.
No 230V at
Compressor
74
Compressor voltage not sensed when compressor should be starting. Con-
tactor m ay be stuck open or there is a wiring error.
Low Stage
Thermal Lockout
81
Thermal cut out occurs in three consecutive low/high stag e cycles. Low
stage locked out for 4 hours or until 24v power recycled.
High Stage
Thermal Lockout
82
Thermal cutout occurs in three consecutive high/low stage cycl es. High
stage locked out for 4 hours or until 24v power recycled.
Low ---Pressure
Lockout
83
Low pressure swit ch trip has occurred during 3 consecutive cycles. Unit
operation locked out for 4 hours or until 24v power recycled.
High --- Pressure
Lockout
84
High pressure switch trip has occurred during 3 consecutive cycles. Unit
operation locked out for 4 hours or until 24v power recycled.
* Sequence: Compressor contactor is de---energized and outdoor fan is energized for up to 15 minutes. If demand still exists, control will energize compressor contactorafter 15 minute
delay. If fault is cleared, unitwill resume operation.If fault still exists, fanshuts off,and errorcode continues to flash. Control will attempt re---start every 15 minutes. Cycling low voltage
defeats the 15 minute delay.
