This practice exam book will help you to familiarize yourself with the Canadian Refrigeration & Air
Conditioning Interprovincial (Red Seal) Examination environment, mirroring the types of questions
and exam delivery settings that will be used in the real exam. It is a Comprehensive Guide to the
Interprovincial Exam, the only book thus far specifically developed for the Refrigeration & Air
Conditioning Mechanic Trade. It contains the information necessary to improve your scores on your
exam and help you pass the first attempt.
This practice manual is an excellent, thorough Canadian resource for HVAC & Refrigeration
journeyman, apprentices, and trade qualifiers preparing for the Red Seal examination. It features
extensive reviews in the most critical interprovincial exam areas, which include ladder diagrams,
graphs, and calculations, which usually slow candidates down when writing the exam.

Ladder Diagram: Make-Up Air Unit
6
The most crucial part of successfully taking the red seal exam is understanding the electrical wiring
diagram and understanding what physical components the various symbols represent. A legend is
usually used on the bottom of the circuit diagram to explain what the symbols or abbreviations mean.
Most ladder diagrams show the following basic components: where the power supply is, what path
the power takes, the load component, the switch component, and a legend for the symbols used in
the diagram.
The tricky part of reading ladder diagrams is understanding that even though the relay coil and relay
contacts are both parts of the same component, they are separated into their individual circuits in the
ladder diagram.
For example: In the diagram above (Ladder Diagram: Make-Up Air Unit), 1R, 1R1, 1R2, and 1R3 are
parts of one relay where 1R=contactor coil and 1R1, 1R2 &1R3=normally open contacts. See other
components in the table below.
Component Parts
Overload #1 1OL (3 normally closed contacts)
1OL1 (normally closed contact)
Overload #2 2OL (3 normally closed contacts)
2OL1 (normally closed contact)
Contactor #1 1R (contactor coil)
1R1, 1R2, 1R3 (normally open contacts)
Contactor #2 2R (contactor coil)
2R1, 2R2, 2R3 (normally open contacts)
Common troubleshooting techniques used in HVAC & refrigeration circuits include;
Note: Make sure to familiarize yourself with these troubleshooting methods.

The Hop-Scotch Method
Legend: LPS-Low Pressure Switch, DTS-Discharge Temperature Switch, HPS-High Pressure

Switch, LAS-Low Ambient Switch, CC-Compressor Contactor Coil
A voltmeter only displays a value when there is a difference in pressure between one lead and
another. As
previously stated, the final destination of each side of line voltage is the load. The hop-scotch
method steps through
each circuit until you get to THE LOAD, which is the "the End of the Line."
If the load is not working and the voltage is correct, then you must assume the load is at fault. If
the voltage is not there, keep one lead of the meter on the neutral side and work back towards the
supply. At the point you see the voltage, stop. This is where something has made the circuit stop
operating. Remember, current must have a complete path in order to flow.

Other Troubleshooting Rules
Electrical Troubleshooting Terms

Continuity Means a continuous or complete path
Resistance of a The designed resistance that a load normally has
load
An Open When a wire, switch, or load does not have a continuous or complete path for
current to flow
A Short The lack of resistance or no measurable resistance found, but the meter displays
continuity
Load Electrical component or part of a circuit that consumes electric power

Service Information Label
If status code recall is needed, do not remove power or blower door. Briefly remove and then reconnect one main limit
wire to display stored status code.
LED CODE STATUS
Continuous Off Check for 115VAC at L1 and L2, and 24VAC at SEC1 and SEC2
Continuous On Control has 24VAC power
Rapid Flashing Line voltage (115VAC) polarity reversed. If twinned, refer to twining kit instructions
Each of the following status codes is a two-digit number with the first digit determined by the number of short flashes
and the second digit by the number of long flashes.
11 NO PREVIOUS CODE - Stored status codes are erased when power (115VAC or 24VAC) to control is
interrupted or 48 hours after each fault is cleared.
12 BLOWER ON AFTER POWER UP (115VAC or 24 VAC) - Blower runs for 90 seconds if the unit is powered
up during a call for heat (R-W closed).
13 LIMIT OR FLAME ROLL-OUT SWITCH LOCKOUT - Control will auto-reset after three hours. Reset switch
or replace the fuse link. Refer to #33
14 IGNITION LOCKOUT - Control will auto-reset after three hours. Refer to #34
21 GAS HEATING LOCKOUT - Control will NOT auto-reset. Check for: - Mis-wired gas valve - Defective
control (valve relay)
22 ABNORMAL FLAME-PROVING SIGNAL - Flame is proved while the gas valve is de-energized. Inducer will
run until the fault is cleared. Check for: - Leaky gas valve - Stuck-open gas valve
23 PRESSURE SWITCH DID NOT OPEN. Check for:- Obstructed pressure tubing - Pressure switch stuck closed.
24 SECONDARY VOLTAGE FUSE IS OPEN. Check for: Short-circuit in secondary voltage (24VAC) wiring
31 HIGH-HEAT PRESSURE SWITCH OR RELAY DID NOT CLOSE OR REOPENED. Check for: - Control
relay may be defective - Refer to #32
32 LOW HEAT PRESSURE, DRAFT SAFEGUARD, AUX-LIMIT (when used*) SWITCH DID NOT CLOSE
OR REOPENED (DOWN-FLOW ONLY*) If open longer than five minutes, inducer shuts off for 15 minutes
before retry. Check for: - Proper vent sizing - Low inducer voltage (115VAC) - Defective Blower motor or
capacitor - Defective inducer motor - Defective pressure switch - Restricted vent - Inadequate combustion air
supply - Excessive wind - Disconnected or obstructed pressure tubing. If it opens after trial for ignition period,
the blower will come on for a 90 second recycle delay.
33 LIMIT OR FLAME ROLL-OUT SWITCH IS OPEN - If open longer than three minutes, code changes to #13.
Flame roll-out switch requires a manual reset. Check for: - Dirty filter or restricted duct system. - Loose blower
wheel. - Defective blower motor or capacitor. - Defective switch or connections. - Inadequate combustion air
supply (Flame Roll-out Switch or fuse link open). - Open Flame Roll-out switch, or fuse link. Manual reset or
replace.
34 IGNITION PROVING FAILURE - Control will try three more times before lockout #14 occurs. If the flame
signal is lost after trial for the ignition period, the blower will come on for a 90 second recycle delay. Check for:
- Gas valve defective or gas valve turned off. - Oxide buildup on the flame sensor (clean with fine steel wool). -
Proper flame sense microamps (.5 microamps D.C. min., 4.0 - 6.0 nominal in HIGH HEAT). - Green wire MUST
be connected to furnace sheet metal. - The flame sensor must be ungrounded. Manual valve shut-off. - Defective
Hot Surface Ignitor - Control ground continuity.- Inadequate flame carryover or rough ignition. - Low inlet gas
pressure
43 LOW-HEAT PRESSURE, DRAFT SAFEGUARD, OR AUXILIARY LIMIT (when used*) SWITCH OPEN
WHILE HIGH HEAT PRESSURE SWITCH IS CLOSED. Check for: - Disconnected or obstructed pressure
tubing - Pressure switch stuck open - Refer to #32 and #33
45 REPLACE CONTROL
COMPONENT TEST
To initiate the component test sequence, shut "OFF" the room thermostat or disconnect the "R" thermostat lead.
Briefly short TWIN/TEST terminal to "Com 24 V" Terminal. Status LED will turn off, control will turn "ON" the
inducer motor low speed, inducer motor-high speed, hot surface ignitor, blower motor-low gas heat speed, blower
motor-high gas heat speed and blower motor-high cool speed for 7-15 seconds each. The gas valve and the humidifier
will not be turned on.

Examination Preparation Resources
It is important for candidates to leave time for a thorough final review before the exam. In the last
three or four weeks before the exam, candidates should use practice exams to simulate the exam
experience as closely as possible, while keeping in mind that they need to be able to pass any set of
exam questions which has been drawn from the syllabus.
If you have moved to Canada from other parts of the world, you will need to familiarize yourself with
Canadian/US electrical standards and measurement units. It is important that you recognize and
understand common wiring diagram symbols as well.
