Cooling Troubleshooting Guide
On calls for cooling, if the compressors are operating but the
supply air blower motor does not energize after a short delay
(the room thermostat fan switch is in the “AUTO” position):
1. Turn the thermostat fan switch to the ON position. If the
supply air blower motor does not energize, go to Step 3.
2. If the blower motor runs with the fan switch in the ON
position but will not run after the first compressor has
energized when the fan switch is in the AUTO position,
check the room thermostat for contact between R and G in
the AUTO position during calls for cooling.
3. If the supply air blower motor does not energize when the
fan switch is set to ON, check that line voltage is being
supplied to the contacts of the M3, contactor, and that the
contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring between the
contactor and the supply air blower motor.
4. If M3 is pulled in and voltage is supplied to M3, lightly touch
the supply air blower motor housing. If it is hot, the motor
may be off on internal protection. Cancel any thermostat
calls and set the fan switch to AUTO. Wait for the internal
overload to reset. Test again when cool.
5. If M3 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M3 coil. If 24
volts are present at M3 but M3 is not pulled in, replace the
contactor.
6. Failing the above, if there is line voltage supplied at M3, M3
is pulled in, and the supply air blower motor still does not
operate, replace the motor.
7. If 24 volts is not present at M3, check that 24 volts is
present at the UCB supply air blower motor terminal,
“FAN”. If 24 volts is present at the FAN, check for loose
wiring between the UCB and M3.
8. If 24 volts is not present at the “FAN” terminal, check for 24
volts from the room thermostat. If 24 volts are not present
from the room thermostat, check for the following:
a. Proper operation of the room thermostat (contact
between R and G with the fan switch in the ON position
and in the AUTO position during operation calls).
b. Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the
UCB, and
c. Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
9. If 24 volts is present at the room thermostat but not at the
UCB, check for proper wiring between the thermostat and
the UCB, i.e. that the thermostat G terminal is connected to
the G terminal of the UCB, and for loose wiring.
10. If the thermostat and UCB are properly wired, replace the
UCB.
On calls for cooling, the supply air blower motor is operating but
compressor #1 is not (the room thermostat fan switch is in the
“AUTO” position):
1. If compressor #1 does not energize on a call for cooling,
check for line voltage at the compressor contactor, M1, and
that the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring
between the contactor and the compressor.
2. If M1 is pulled in and voltage is supplied at M1, lightly touch
the compressor housing. If it is hot, the compressor may be
off on inherent protection. Cancel any calls for cooling and
wait for the internal overload to reset. Test again when
cool.
3. If M1 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M1 coil. If 24
volts are present and M1 is not pulled in, replace the
contactor.
4. Failing the above, if voltage is supplied at M1, M1 is pulled
in, and the compressor still does not operate, replace the
compressor.
5. If 24 volts is not present at M1, check for 24 volts at the
UCB terminal, C1. If 24 volts is present, check for loose
wiring between C1 and the compressor contactor.
6. If 24 volts is not present at the C1 terminal, check for 24
volts from the room thermostat at the UCB Y1 terminal. If
24 volts is not present from the room thermostat, check for
the following:
a. 24 volts at the thermostat Y1 terminal
b. Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the
UCB, i.e. Y1 to Y1, Y2 to Y2, and
c. Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB
7. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal, the
compressor may be out due to an open high-pressure
switch or low-pressure switch. Check for 24 volts at the
HPS1 and LPS1 terminals of the UCB. If a switch has
opened, there should be a voltage potential between the
UCB terminals, e.g. if LPS1 has opened, there will be a 24-
volt potential between the LPS1 terminals.
8. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of
the protection switches have opened, the UCB may have
locked out the compressor for repeat trips. The UCB
should be flashing an alarm code. If not, press and release
the ALARMS button on the UCB. The UCB will flash the
last five alarms on the LED. If the compressor is locked
out, cancel any call for cooling. This will reset any
compressor lock outs.
NOTE: While the above step will reset any lockouts,
compressor #1 may be held off for the ASCD. See the
next step.
9. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and none of
the switches are open and the compressor is not locked
out, the UCB may have the compressor in an ASCD.
Check the LED for an indication of an ASCD cycle. The
ASCD should time out within 5 minutes. Press and release
the TEST button to reset all ASCDs.
10. If 24 volts is present at the UCB Y1 terminal and the
compressor is not out due to a protective switch trip, repeat
trip lock out, or ASCD, the economizer terminals of the
UCB may be improperly wired. Check for 24 volts at the Y1
“OUT” terminal of the UCB.
11. If 24 volts is not present at the Y1 “OUT” terminal, the UCB
must be replaced. (If 24 volts is present at the Y1 OUT
terminal, check for 24 volts at the Y1 “ECON” terminal. If
24 volts is not present, check for loose wiring from the Y1
