Description
The phase detect module is designed to monitor both single and 3 phase voltages from 160 volts AC through 510
volts AC.
Operation
The brown, blue and black wires are used to sample the power at L1, L2 and L3 respectively. Operating power
from 12 Vdc is supplied to the module via the 8F-01 wire and CHP-01 wire.
When the voltage sensed rises above 180 volts AC and all three phases are present, the module ER-01 wire will
output 12 Vdc after the conditions exist for 2 to 4 seconds. This signal informs the microprocessor that electric
standby operation is possible. If the voltage drops below 160 volts AC or a phase is lost, the output is turned off
after the condition exists for 8 to 10 seconds. The module continues to monitor the power and will again output
12 Vdc within 2 to 4 seconds after the voltage rises above 180 volts AC and all three phases are present.
If phase rotation is L1, L2, L3 the 7EB-01 wire will supply 12 Vdc to energize the appropriate phase rotation
contactor. If phase rotation is L1, L3, L2 the 7EC-01 wire will supply 12 Vdc to energize the appropriate phase
rotation contactor. The 7EB-01 and 7EC-01 wires are interlocked to prevent both phase contactors from being
energized at once.

Output Description
7EH-01 With 12 Vdc supplied, then outputs 7EB-01 or 7EC-01 will be at 12 Vdc.
7EB-01 If phase rotation is L1, L2, L3 then this wire will provide 12 Vdc to energize the appropriate phase
rotation contactor. The 7EC-01 wire is interlocked to prevent both phase contactors from being
energized at once.
7EC-01 If phase rotation is L1, L3, L2 then this wire will provide 12 Vdc to energize the appropriate phase
rotation contactor. The 7EB-01 wire is interlocked to prevent both phase contactors from being
energized at once.
ER-01 This wire will output 12 Vdc 2 to 4 seconds after the voltage rises above 180 volts AC and all three
phases are present. If the voltage drops below 160 volts AC or a phase is lost and the condition
remains for 8 to 10 seconds, the output is turned off. The module continues to monitor and will
again output 12 Vdc 2 to 4 seconds after the power returns to normal (voltage rises above 180
volts AC and all three phases are present).

Diagnostic Recommendations
The following recommendations will aid in performing an accurate diagnosis in a timely manner. They
also insure that accurate data is recorded on the Data Collection Form.
• Always record all alarm codes that exist. Often they provide a direct path to the source of a problem.
Consult Section 5 for a complete list of alarms and the recommended corrective actions for each
alarm.
• Always perform a Pretrip Test. In almost every instance, if a problem exists an alarm code (or codes)
will be generated by the Pretrip Test that point to the source of the problem.
• If suspect, confirm the accuracy of the suction and discharge pressure transducers by installing a
calibrated refrigeration gauge set. It should be noted that the suction pressure transducer is located on
the throttle valve. As a result, the suction pressure displayed is compressor suction pressure, not
system suction pressure.
• If suspect, confirm the accuracy of unit temperature sensors with a calibrated thermometer. Be sure all
sensor grades are properly set.
• Be sure no airflow restrictions are present. Check the evaporator and condenser coils for cleanliness.
• Be sure the engine rpm is set to specification and the drive belt is properly adjusted.
• If indicated, check refrigerant charge, compressor oil level, throttle valve setting and system
efficiency.
• Be sure the box door seals and insulation are in good condition and compartment bulkheads are
properly installed and leak free.
