Compressor valves.
ACTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Switch on main supply if safe to do so.
Check if control panel emergency stop switch
and any remote emergency stop devices are in
the OFF position. Turn to ON position (1) if safe
to do so.
Check mains supply.
Check emergency stop switch fuses.
Check wiring from - 2T to powerboard and CB3.
Replace powerboard or isolate excessive load on
the board.
Ensure that liquid pumps are running. Valves are
correctly set and flow is established.
Check that the flow switch is functional and is
installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: On some systems the pump starter may be wired
to the unit and controlled to start by the unit.
Allow compressor heaters to remain on to boil
refrigerant out of the oil.
Check sensor calibration and wiring.
Use the 'ambient temp.' key to display the
temperature and confirm that the displayed value is
approximately correct. The warning message should
clear when the ambient air temperature rises above
the programmed operating limit.
Check the programmed settings are correct for the
options fitted to the unit.
Check sensor calibration, location and wiring.
Use the "ambient temp.' key to display the
approximately correct. The warning message should
clear when the ambient air temperature falls below
the programmed operating limit.
Check that the programmed settings are correct for
the options fitted to the unit.
Check fan is operating correctly and the rotation is
correct. Check for airflow recirculation.
Check sensor calibration, location and wiring.
Check for restrictions in the liquid flow line.
Check the supply to the unloader valve solenoid.
Check that the compressor unloads correctly.
Check sensor calibration, location and wiring.
Check mains supply is stable and within allowable
limits.
Check for voltage dip on compressor start.
Replace solenoid valves.
Perform top head overhaul.
