VFTD Reading
(Fault conditions) Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
ALERT AMBIENT TEMP 1. Poor ventilation Ensure ventilation is adequate for heat load
(High Ambient Air Temperature) Ensure compressor is not ventilated toward dryer
ALARM DEW POINT TEMP 1. Refrigerant leak Have serviced by a qualified refrigeration technician
(High Dew Point Temperature) 2. System Overload Review ambient, inlet, and air flow conditions
3. Dirty Condenser Blow dust out of condenser fins
SHUTDOWN HIGH PRESSURE 1. Fan(s) not working Check condenser fan function
(High Compressor Discharge 2. High ambient condition Ensure ventilation is adequate for heat load
Pressure) Ensure compressor is not ventilated toward dryer
3. System overload Review ambient, inlet, and air flow conditions
SHUTDOWN MOTOR PROTECT 1. Motor overloads triggered Check voltage. Check for short to ground
(Compressor Motor Overload) 2. Refrigerant leak Have serviced by a qualified refrigeration technician
ALERT MAINTENANCE 1. Pre-set Maintenance interval Blow dust out of condensers, verify drain function,
check pressure drop across dryer
ALARM DRAIN 1. Failure to discharge Check automatic discharge line for closed hand
(Failure to Drain Condensate) condensate valve or kink in hose
Clean and rebuild drain valve
Verify power to valve with Push-to-Test button

WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants the product manufactured by it, when properly installed, operated, applied, and maintained
in accordance with procedures and recommendations outlined in manufacturer’s instruction manuals, to be free from
defects in material or workmanship for a period as specified below, provided such defect is discovered and brought to the
manufacturer’s attention within the aforesaid warranty period.
The manufacturer will repair or replace any product or part determined to be defective by the manufacturer within the
warranty period, provided such defect occurred in normal service and not as a result of misuse, abuse, neglect or accident.
Normal maintenance items requiring routine replacement are not warranted. The warranty covers parts and labor for the
warranty period unless otherwise specified. Repair or replacement shall be made at the factory or the installation site, at the
sole option of the manufacturer. Any service performed on the product by anyone other than the manufacturer must first
be authorized by the manufacturer.
Unauthorized service voids the warranty and any resulting charge or subsequent claim will not be paid. Products repaired or
replaced under warranty shall be warranted for the unexpired portion of the warranty applying to the original product.
The foregoing is the exclusive remedy of any buyer of the manufacturer’s product. The maximum damages liability of the
manufacturer is the original purchase price of the product or part.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, OR STATUTORY,
AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IN
TORT OR ITS NEGLIGENCE IN WHATEVER MANNER INCLUDING DESIGN, MANUFACTURE OR INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS
FAILURE TO DISCOVER, REPORT, REPAIR, OR MODIFY LATENT DEFECTS INHERENT THEREIN.
THE MANUFACTURER, HIS REPRESENTATIVE OR DISTRIBUTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR OTHER
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE BUYER, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF
WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT.
The manufacturer does not warrant any product, part, material, component, or accessory manufactured by others and sold
or supplied in connection with the sale of manufacturer’s products.
Warranty Period
Parts and labor for two (2) years from the date of shipment from the factory; heat exchangers are covered (parts only) for
an additional three (3) years (total of five [5]). On units that manufacturer requests be returned to the factory, a one time
removal/reinstallation labor allowance as noted in the Service Warranty Policies and Procedures Handbook will apply. Freight
to the factory from the installation site and to the installation site from the factory will be paid by the manufacturer; means
of transportation to be specified by manufacturer.
