Fault

Htg Clg Possible Cause

Solution

Main power Problems

X

X

Green Status LED Off

Check Line Voltage circuit breaker and disconnect
Check for line voltage between L1 and L2 on the contactor
Check for 24VAC between R and C on CXM/DXM
Check primary/secondary voltage on transformer

HP Fault-Code 2

X

Reduced or no water flow

Check pump operation or valve operation/setting

High pressure

in cooling

Check water flow adjust to proper flow rate

X

Water Temperature out of range in
cooling

Bring water temp within design parameters

X

Reduced or no Air flow

Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace

in heating

Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions
Dirty Air Coil- construction dust etc.
Too high of external static. Check static vs blower table

X

Air Temperature out of range in
heating

Bring return air temp within design parameters

X

X

Overcharged with refrigerant

Check superheat/subcooling vs typical operating condition
table

X

X

Bad HP Switch

Check switch continuity and operation. Replace

LP/LOC Fault-Code 3

X

X

Insufficient charge

Check for refrigerant leaks

Low Pressure/Loss of Charge

X

Compressor pump down at start-
up

Check charge and start-up water flow

FP1 Fault - Code 4

X

Reduced or no water flow

Check pump operation or water valve operation/setting

Water Coil low

temperature limit

in heating

Plugged strainer or filter. Clean or replace.
Check water flow adjust to proper flow rate

X

Inadequate anti-freeze level

Check antifreeze density with hydrometer

X

Improper temperature limit setting
(30°F vs 10°F [-1°C vs -12°C])

Clip JW3 jumper for antifreeze (10°F [-12°C]) use

X

Water Temperature out of range

Bring water temp within design parameters

X

X

Bad thermistor

Check temp and impedance correlation per chart

FP2 fault - Code 5

X

Reduced or no Air flow

Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace

Air Coil low

temperature limit

in cooling

Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions
Too high of external static. Check static vs blower table

X

Air Temperature out of range

Too much cold vent air? Bring entering air temp within
design parameters

X

Improper temperature limit setting
(30°F vs 10°F [-1°C vs -12°C])

Normal airside applications will require 30°F [-1°C] only

X

X

Bad thermistor

Check temp and impedance correlation per chart

Condensate Fault-Code 6

X

X

Blocked Drain

Check for blockage and clean drain

X

X

Improper trap

Check trap dimensions and location ahead of vent

X

Poor Drainage

Check for piping slope away from unit
Check slope of unit toward outlet
Poor venting. Check vent location

X

Moisture on sensor

Check for moisture shorting to air coil

Over/Under Voltage-
Code 7

X

X

Under Voltage

Check power supply and 24VAC voltage before and during
operation.

(Auto resetting)

Check power supply wire size
Check compressor starting. Need hard start kit?
Check 24VAC and unit transformer tap for correct power
supply voltage

X

X

Over Voltage

Check power supply voltage and 24VAC before and during
operation.
Check 24VAC and unit transformer tap for correct power
supply voltage

Unit Performance
Sentinel-Code 8

X

Heating mode FP2>125°F [52°C] Check for poor air flow or overcharged unit.
