Installation
Four #10 self tapping sheet metal screws, at least
½” length, are required for installation. The maximum
mounting screw torque is 20 in.lbs. Locate the
Digital Compressor Controller inside the electrical
enclosure near the compressor contactor (wire
routing for compressor power wiring will be easier
in this position). The maximum wire terminal screw
torque is 7 in. lbs. The Digital Compressor Controller
will operate in any mounting orientation where the
green POWER LED is at the top. Mount the Digital
Compressor Controller so all LEDs are visible from
a comfortable viewing position.

A service panel label (Form 052-2401-00) describing

the terminals and ALERT flash codes is included with
each Digital Compressor Controller. This label should
be in a visible location for the technician when he is
troubleshooting the system. See Figure 5. Figure 1

Compressor Wiring
(See Figure 3)
The Digital Compressor Controller senses compressor
motor current for diagnostics and protection. The
compressor motor leads must be run through the
holes in the plastic housing for a current transformer
to sense motor current.

Single Phase Compressors: the compressor’s run

(R), common (C) and start (S) wires must be routed
through the holes in the Digital Compressor Controller
module marked “R,” “C” and “S.” The run capacitor may
be located on either side of the Digital Compressor
Controller module.

Three Phase Compressors: the compressor’s T1, T2

and T3 wires must be routed through the holes in the
Digital Compressor Controller module marked “T1,” Figure 2
“T2” and “T3.” The Digital Compressor Controller

P2 Pressure Input cycle timer active
P3 Pressure Power 5VDC Code 3 Compressor Protector Trip
P4 Pressure Shield • All LEDs flashing at same rate indicates No compressor current is detected when compressor should be running.
P5 Pressure Output - 24VAC supply too low for operation Resets when compressor current is detected.
P6 Pressure Output + Code 4 Locked Rotor
T1 Discharge Temp Sensor • All LEDs solid at same time indicates Locked rotor condition is detected. Compressor is locked out.
T2 Discharge Temp Sensor controller failure
Code 5 Demand Signal Loss
High Voltage Terminals • Reset ALERT code or lockout by Demand input signal is below 0.5VDC. Resets after demand input signal rises
A1 Alarm Relay Out removing 24VAC supply to module above 1.0VDC.
A2 Alarm Relay Out Code 6 Discharge Thermistor Fault
L1 Control Voltage N • All ALERTs close alarm relay contacts Thermistor is not connected. Reset by reconnecting thermistor.
L2 Control Voltage L
M1 Contactor • All ALERTs deenergize contactor and Code 7 Reserved for future use
M2 Contactor solenoids except Code 6 Code 8 Compressor Contactor Fault
U1 Unloader Solenoid Compressor current is detected when compressor should be off. Resets when
U2 Unloader Solenoid • Compressor always unloads for 0.1 second at current is no longer detected.
V1 Vapor Injection Solenoid startup
V2 Vapor Injection Solenoid Code 9 Low 24VAC Supply
• Compressor only starts when Demand signal Supply voltage to module has dropped below 18.5VAC. Resets after voltage rise
All high voltage terminals input is above 1.45 VDC and no ALERTs are above 19.5VAC.
