On-Site Diagnostics

Quick Simplicity® Microcomputer Fault Code Reference

Commercial rooftop units equipped with Simplicity® or ReliaTel boards communicate lockout and operating status via LED flashes. Refer to the matrix below for rapid on-site diagnosis.

LED Flash Code	Condition / Description	Probable Field Causes	Standard Corrective Action	Reference
1 Flash	High Pressure Lockout	Dirty condenser coils, failed condenser fan motor/run capacitor, overcharged system, or non-condensables.	Wash condenser coil fins; check condenser fan motor amperage and capacitor; verify high-pressure switch resets at 375 PSIG.	View Details
2 Flashes	Low Pressure Lockout	Refrigerant leak, defective low pressure switch, failed indoor blower belt, or iced evaporator coil.	Inspect blower belt; check suction pressure against saturation chart; check for leak on copper service ports and coils.	View Details
3 Flashes	Low Evaporator Temp	Low airflow across evaporator, plugged commercial air filters, defective freeze stat sensor, or undersized ducting.	Replace MERV filters; verify static pressure drop across evaporator coil; inspect freeze sensor resistance (10k NTC).	View Details
7 Flashes	Economizer Fault / Enthalpy	Defective outdoor enthalpy sensor, jammed damper gear motor, broken drive linkage, or open actuator circuit.	Manually check damper blade rotation; test 2–10VDC actuator feedback; verify enthalpy sensor resistance in outdoor airstream.	View Details
Continuous Rapid	Phase Monitor Trip	Loss of phase, phase voltage imbalance exceeding 3%, or reversed phase rotation on 3-phase 460V supply.	Check line voltage across L1-L2, L2-L3, and L1-L3 with true-RMS voltmeter; swap any two incoming phases if compressor spins backward.	View Details

Engineering Rigor & Integrity

Why Mechanical Engineers & Technicians Rely on AirComf

Commercial rooftop systems operate under high electrical voltages (208V, 230V, 460V, and 575V 3-phase) and extreme refrigerant pressures (up to 600 PSIG in R-410A circuits). Inaccurate technical documentation can lead to compressor burnout, equipment damage, or serious personnel injury.

Every field guide, sequence of operations diagram, and diagnostic code table on AirComf is authored and reviewed by licensed HVAC mechanical professionals with extensive hands-on experience on California and nationwide commercial installations.
