T949_O: Backup Ht-Amb Temp Too Low For HP

EcoNet - T949_O ยป

Status

Non-critical fault. Operation is transferred to backup heat until outdoor air temp is above -30F

Description

The heat pump controller has determined that the ambient air tempreature is too low for heat-pump heating. Operation is switched to backup heating.

Expected Operation

Heating operation will be transferred to backup heating source when outdoor air temperature is measured to be critically low (less than -30F). This is considered normal operation in response to such low temperatures.

Cause

The heat pump controller has determined that the ambient air tempreature is too low for heat-pump heating. Operation is switched to backup heating.

Solution

  • Check and correct wiring and electrical connectors to drive and compressor.
  • Wait for ambient air temp to return to operating range.
  • Check wiring and electrical connectors to ambient air temp sensor.
  • Replace ambient air sensor.
  • Replace heat-pump control.
