Low suction temperature fault cooling

• 

When the suction line temperature falls on a 
circuit below 28° F this disables the compressor of 
that circuit only.

• 

The fan will continue to run drawing warmer air 
over the air heat exchanger.

• 

When the suction line temperature increases 
by Low Temp Protect Diff (the default is 8° F) 
degrees.

• 

The compressor is available for cooling if the 
Compressor Minimum Off timer has expired.

• 

Mark the occurrence of the fault.

Low voltage brownout protection

When in brownout condition, thermostat and control inputs 
have no affect upon unit operation. Remote shutdown and 
brownout conditions have the same level of priority. See 
Table 10 on page 

19.

When the unit is in brownout condition the following 
occurs:

• 

Both compressors are de-energized.

• 

The fan de-energizes.

• 

Fault terminal (A) energizes (fault). A 24 volt 
(ac) indicator connected between the A and C 
terminals will be used to indicate an alarm signal.

When the line voltage supplied to the unit returns to 
acceptable levels (~90% of nameplate) the controller 
returns to the current mode.

 

Condensate overflow protection

The MicroTech III unit controller's condensate sensor is 
designed to detect excessively high condensate water 
levels in the drain pan. When high condensate water levels 

are detected during cooling or dehumidification modes, 

the controller enters into condensate fault mode. The fan 

operates during the condensate overflow fault mode.

Some faults and modes have higher priority than 

condensate overflow mode. See Table 10 on page 

19.

When the unit senses a condensate overflow fault while 

in cooling mode the following occurs:

• 

The compressors de-energize.

• 

The fault terminal (A) energizes (fault). A to R will 
be used to indicate an alarm signal.

When condensate levels return to normal, the controller 
will automatically return to normal operation.

 

Freeze fault detection

• 

There are two setpoints with low entering water 
temperature protection. The set point option are 

field selectable and provide low water temperature 

protection settings for operation with a standard 
temperature water loop or extended range (low 
temperature) water loop protected by an anti-
freeze solution. Baseboard jumper setting JP3 

(loop fluid) defines the operation as “open” if 

water fluid is used or “shorted” if glycol loop fluid 

is used.

Unoccupied operation – stand alone thermostat 
control

The board will be in unoccupied mode if the unoccupied 
terminal (U) is grounded.

• 

Thermostat inputs (G, Y1, Y2, W1, and 
W2)

 – The only thermostat inputs used during 

unoccupied operation are Y2 and W2, which when 
energized will activate Cooling Mode or Heating 
Mode respectively. Inputs G, Y1 and W1 have no 
effect during unoccupied mode.
