EcoNet - T945_O ยป


Status

Unit will shutdown after 3 attempts at normal operation.

Description

The PFC (Power Factor Correction) Module is pulling too much current

Expected Operation

Unit will Shutdown and will restart. If this occurs 3 times in one call, unit will lockout and full reset will be required.

Cause

1. Excessive load/temperature/duration.

2. Failed compressor or compressor drive.

Solution

1. Check all wiring to the controller for visible signs of unconnected wires or missing insulation and etc.
