Slave board configuration
In some large systems where the electrical load exceeds the current capability of a single
board, a slave board can be used. A typical wiring diagram is 5031xxxx. In a slave system,
the switches are connected to the master board and the slave board is connected to the master
board through a harness 701442. The slave board mimics the actions of the master board.
The slave board normally is used to drive the additional evaporators and condensers.
Trouble shooting
Use Table 8 to identify the problem if there is a fault code. Other common problems are
listed in Table 9. Refer to previous sections for detailed action procedures.
