ERROR MESSAGES (CONT)
DISPLAYED MESSAGE
CONDITION/INDICATES
Communication between the MCB and UIM has
been interrupted - the MCB is having trouble
communicating with the UIM.
Important Service Reminder:
When performing any troubleshooting steps outlined
in this service manual always consider the wiring
and connectors between components. Perform a
close visual inspection of all wiring and connectors
to a given component before replacement.
Ensure wires were stripped before being crimped in
a wire connector, ensure wires are crimped tightly in
their connectors, ensure connection pins in sockets
and plugs are not damaged or worn, ensure plugs
and sockets are mating properly and providing good
contact.
Failure to perform this critical step or failing to
perform this step thoroughly often results in
needless down time, unnecessary parts
replacement, and customer dissatisfaction.
MCB does not recognize the presence of a Config
Key at MCB socket J23.
The Config Key contains model specific (Btu/hr &
fuel type) blower speed programing data. This data
is written to the MCB's internal memory at power up.
The MCB then uses this data to instruct the VFD
(variable frequency drive) to modulate blower speed
during various operating states.
If this key is not plugged into the J23 socket on the
MCB circuit board the EMC 5000 control system will
declare a fault and display this error message on the
UIM.
