5.0 Troubleshooting

This section includes a table of warning and error messages that may appear on the appliance as wellfaults that may appear on the air handling appliance app.

A problem that does not prevent the operation of the air handler is declared as a "warning". A problemthat prevents the appliance from operating is declared as an "error" and the appliance is shut down.

5.1 Measuring voltage on AHU boardsThe control voltage transformer is not bonded to the AHU cabinet. Whenmeasuring the voltage suppliedto the individual control circuit, youmust reference the common post of the circuit. If youmeasure toground or to another common terminal, misleading readings of approximately 14V will occur.

To test for nominal 24V, reference the adjacent COM connection. For example, to test voltage atCompressor S1 terminal, measure for VAC between Compressor COM andCompressor S1.

5.2 Pump not energizedIf the pump is not energizing:

In the IBCconnect app, go toAdvanced Settings, and check that Pump Enabled is set to "on".In the IBCconnect app, go toBasic Settings, and check that Heat Mode is not set to "HeatPump": During Stage 1 heat pump heating, the AHU pump is not energized by design, to avoidinterfering with circulation through the heat pump. AHU pump is energized at Stage 2 call forheat.Check the AHU board for blown pump fuse—the only fuse rated for 10A.
