Status Codes
Table 3 shows the status codes flashed by the amber status light.
Most system problems can be diagnosed by reading the status
code as flashed by the amber status light on the control board.
The codes are flashed by a series of short and long flashes of the
status light. The short flashes indicate the first digit in the status
code. followed by long flashes indicating the second digit of the
error code. The short flash is 0.25 second ON and the long flash
is 1.0 second ON. Time between flashes is 0.25 second. Time
between short flash and first long flash is 1.0 second. Time
between code repeating is 2.5 seconds with LED OFF.
Count the number of short and long flashes to determine the
appropriate flash code. Table 3 gives possible causes and actions
related to each error.
Example: 3 short flashes followed by 2 long flashes indicates a
32 code. Table 3 shows this to be low pressure switch open.
