System Startup Checkout & Troubleshooting
The following is a summary of the sequence for typical first
operationto check out the system. Referenceis made to
INSTALLER SETTINGS and SERVICE INFORMATION
described above.
1. Install system hardware as described in the individual
component installation instructions.
2. Install power and control wiring to all system components,
including the controller, in accordance with the iQ Field
Wiring Installation Instructions.
3. Perform pre-charge evacuation of field-installed refrigerant
lines as described in preceding sections.
4. ForiQZonesystems,rstapply12voltdcpowertothe
zonecontrolboardwiththeprovidedAC/DCconverter.Apply
electrical power to the system (including the heat pump).

screen(intheSERVICEINFORMATIONmenu,described
above), and view which elements are not communicating.

does not show up on that menu, the iQ controller has never
communicated with the zone control board, and power and
communication wiring to the zone control board need to be
checked.Ifthemainscreenrevertstobacktothezoning-

8. Set date and time as described above. This will provide a
“time stamp” for any fault which may arise during system
checkout.

menu. Follow the refrigerant charge adjustment procedure
explained above. Note that if a fault is determined in the
outdoorequipment,thebackupheatingmeans(electric
strip heat or gas furnace) will start instead.
11. When charge adjustment is completed (if required), run
the heat pump in both cooling and heating modes. This
mayalsobedoneusingSERVICETESTSalthoughsome
diagnostic messages are disabled in that method.
12.Check the FAULT STATUS screen (described above)
for any faults logged during the startup process. Any

minutes. Every fault or notification should appear in the
FAULTHISTORYlogwhichstartsonthesamescreen.
The last 10 faults to have occurred are retained in this
list. Each new item pushes other logged faults down in
the list. The second line associated with each of the 10
entries includes the time and date of detection. While
the wording of fault messages is intended to provide a
reasonable indication as to the responsible condition, the
information conveyed by the abbreviated wording is limited.
Consequentlytheinstallershouldrefertotrainingliterature
for further information in understanding fault messages.

14.Independently conrm operation of any accessories
installed with the heat pump system following instructions
provided with that equipment.
