This information is used to identify the equipment and reference correct operating tables. When unrecognized information is received the PCM will set fault 87-13 and reset the VFD to restart the initialization process. After 3 instances of fault 87-13 within 4 hour period 87-53 malfunction is set and system is locked out for 4 hours. The most likely cause of this fault is an incorrect model plug. Check for correct model plug in model plug table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source:
