TECHNICAL PROBLEMS

The unit will not start:

1. Check the circuit breaker on your electrical panel.

2. Check the circuit breaker of the unit. (Image D1)

3. Check the 24 volt circuit:

To check the 24 volt circuit, proceed as follow;

• Establish the contact between the two ports of a wall mounted air inlet valve with a piece of metal (ex. coin (Image E)). If the system starts, the suction hose is defective. See your dealer.

• If the system does not start check the 24 volt wires on the unit

(Image D2); Establish the contact between the two screws of the

24V circuit plate using a piece of metal (ex. Screw driver (Image F)).

If the unit starts, the 24 volt wire is either cut OR unplugged from one of the wall mounted air inlet valves.

• If the system still do not start after steps 1, 2 and 3, the printed circuit is defective. Call your dealer.

The unit will not stop:

Check the 24 volt circuit as follows;

• Disconnect one of the two 24 volt wires on the unit (Image D2). If the unit stops, the two wires are in contact somewhere in the circuit

OR a wall mounted air inlet valve is defective.

• If the unit does not stop, the printed circuit is defective.

Call your dealer.

NOTE: If you notice a vibration coming from the motor, call your dealer.
