TROUBLE SHOOTING
Condition Causes or Check Points
The system does
not start. Check that 5 minutes has passed from the time you turned•
the system on, as the system has in-built safety timers.
Check thermostat settings are correct.• Check the thermostat “set-point” is set low enough for•
cooling or high enough for heating.
Check that the Master Controller is set to correct mode for•
COOL / AUTO / HEAT.
Air does not flow.
(Indoor Unit) Check if the unit is set in the correct mode•
COOL / AUTO / HEAT.
Check your Zone Controller is turned on. If using zone sensor,•
ensure your zone is turned on at the Master Controller.
During defrost cycle of the outdoor unit (in HEAT mode),•
the indoor fan will not operate.
Defrost cycle is indicated when “HEAT” is flashing on the
Master Controller display.
OFF is displayed on
my zone controller
and I cannot turn the
zone On.
This means the Master Controller is turned off.•
First turn on your air conditioner at the Master Controller.
You will now be able to turn on your Zone Controller.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. I cannot adjust my set point on my Zone Controller any more than 2Ohigher or
lower than the Master Controller.
A. 2Ois the default setting for master temperature offset.ActronAir recommend this 2O
offset to optimise temperature control and maximize energy efficiency. Moving this
setting +/- 2Owill result in temperature inaccuracy. Contact ActronAir technical support:
Tel. No. 1800 119 229.
Q. Cooling and Heating seems to take a long time to achieve temperature in ESP
fan mode. Am I using the correct settings?
A. ESP fan mode really comes into it’s own when minimal zones are used. For quicker
and more responsive Cooling and Heating, when using more than minimal zones,
select HIGH or CONT HIGH fan speed on Master Controller. This will boost heating
and cooling and is best optimized when you want to condition more than the minimal
zone set up.
Q. Cooling and Heating is not sufficient in my zone.
A. Air balancing is essential part of system commissioning in ESP Ultima system. The
duct design may be prohibiting the correct amount of airflow reaching your area.
Please contact your installer to ensure air balancing has been carried out.
Q. There is substantial air noise coming from my outlet.
A. If the outlet gets too noisy when the unit or zone is first turned on, the system maybe
over supplying airflow to your area. Ensure ESP fan mode is selected when minimal
zones are used.
Q. There are dashes across my control display.
A. Make sure you have not had a power interruption. If this is still present on the display
after 20 seconds, please contact your installer. Incorrect wiring or a broken circuit
could also cause these symptoms.
FAULT CODES:
When E? is displayed in the Master Controller or Zone Controller, take note of the
digits after E and contact your installer.
E3 - System has detected less than 2 sensors (Ultima requires at least 2 sensors
in circuit) or, a remote sensor is short circuit.
E5 - No Communication. The system is constantly relaying information back and forth.
This indicates the communication is not happening. Contact your installer to check
your wiring and cable’s integrity.
