The control card of the furnace is equipped with three LED pilot lights 

that allow easy and quick diagnostic of its essential functions. They 

are located at the bottom left of the control card (see illustration).
HEARTBEAT LED PILOT LIGHT
The first LED pilot light from the top is blinking in normal operation; this 

is the control card heartbeat. If it is always off or always on, it means 

that the card processor has finish running its program. In this case, it is 

recommended to reset it by cutting off the power supply of the furnace 

at the circuit breaker for at least ten seconds and then reactivating it. 

If the heartbeat LED pilot light is still not blinking, replace the control 

card.
5 VDC LED PILOT LIGHT
If on, the second LED pilot light indicates that the internal electronic 

circuit is supplied by a 5 VDC power source. If this pilot light is off when 

the 24 V LED pilot light is on, there is a problem. In this case, you must 

replace the control card.
24 V LED PILOT LIGHT
The last LED pilot light indicates that the card is supplied by a 24 V 

power source. If it is not on, it means that there is a problem with the 

electrical supply upstream the card. In this case, check the primary 

and secondary circuit voltages of the 24 V transformer.
