ERROR INDICATOR LED
At initial power up, each Beacon board checks for system errors. The system error check
involves checking the various temperature sensors to determine whether any of these
sensors are shorted or open.
The system will pumpdown and cycle off and will not restart until the fault is cleared or
the circuit breaker reset, for the following conditions:
- Suction sensor shorted, open or not installed
- Room temperature sensor shorted or not installed
- Pressure Transducer open or not installed
The system will pumpdown, cycle off and try to restart for these faults. Each try will be
after the 4 minutes “Hold Off” period, for the following fault conditions:
- High pressure or low pressure cutout
- Oil pressure
After the fourth try, the Alarm contacts will be closed and an alarm message displayed on
the LED. To clear this condition, the system should be cycled through the “Service Mode”
after the correction is completed.

EVAPORATOR FANS SHUT OFF
In some installations, it is desirable to shut off the evaporator fans periodically. This is easily
accomplished on Beacon II by wiring a single pole, single throw switch (SPST) between the
terminals marked “SERVICE” and “COM” on the Beacon II board. Closing this switch will
cause the system to pumpdown and shut off. Air Defrost fan motors must be wired through
the fan relay on the Beacon II board for this to be effective on Air Defrost systems. The
entire system will be shut off and remain off until the SPST switch is opened.
Air Defrost evaporator fans are setup to run constantly. If there is a need to shut down the
evaporator fans on an Air Defrost system, this can be accomplished by wiring the
evaporator fan motor or evaporator fan motor contactor through the fan relay on the
Beacon II board. When this is done and the Air Defrost system is placed in “SERVICE,” the
evaporator fans will shut off when the system is in pumpdown.
