Flow Switch Open:
S Y S # N O
S Y S # N O
Closure of the fl ow switch is monitored to check that
fl ow is present in the evaporator when a com pres sor
is running. Any external cy cling de vic es fi tted by the
customer are connected in series with the fl ow switch.
YCAS chillers require a single fl ow switch wired to the
control panel. If the fl ow switch opens, all sys tems will
shut down and a NO RUN PERM (Per mis sive) mes-
sage will be dis played. Clos ing of the fl ow switch, when
fl ow is present, will cause the mes sage to dis ap pear and
auto-restart to oc cur.
Never bypass a fl ow switch. This will
cause dam age to the chiller and void
any war ran ties.
2.6 SYSTEM FAULT (SAFETY) STATUS
MESSAGES
A System Fault will shut the affected sys tem down
whenever a preset safety thresh old is ex ceed ed for 3
seconds. Automatic restart will occur af ter the fi rst 2
shut downs when the anti-re cy cle timer times out and
tem per a ture de mand exists. After any com bi na tion of 3
Manual Reset Safeties in a 90 minute time period, the
affected system will shut down and lock out on the last
fault. When one or more sys tems are shut down on one
of these safeties, a mes sage will appear on the Status
display in form ing the op er a tor of the prob lem.
The High Motor Current Safety is a
unique safe ty which will lock out a
sys tem after only a single fault.
To reset a locked out system, turn the Sys tem Switch
for the affected system to the OFF po si tion, then back
to the ON po si tion (see Sec tion 8.1.11, Page 142, Fig.
74 for switch locations).
Before returning a locked out sys tem
to ser vice, a thorough investigation of
the cause of the fault should be made.
Fail ure to repair the cause of the fault
while manually al low ing re pet i tive
re starts may cause fur ther ex pen sive
damage to the system.

High Discharge Pressure Cutout:
S Y S # H I G H
S Y S # H I G H
The Discharge Pressure Safety prevents system pres sure
from exceeding safe working limits. This safety is a
backup for the mechanical High Pres sure Cutout in each
system. The Discharge Pressure Safety is pro gram ma ble
for a range of values below the system up per limit (see
Section 8.2 / Page 178, High Discharge Pres sure Cutout
for more details).
High Discharge Temperature Cutout:
S Y S # H I G H
S Y S # H I G H
This safety protects the compressor rotors from dam age
due to overheating, expansion, and breakdown of the oil
fi lm seal between the rotors. It also protects against ex-
cessive oil temperature in the discharge oil separator.
For the fi rst 4 seconds of operation discharge tem-
per a ture is ignored. After 4 seconds of operation the
com pres sor will shut down if the discharge temperature
ex ceeds 260°F (127°C).
High Oil Differential Pressure Cutout:
S Y S # H I G H
S Y S # H I G H
The High Oil Pressure Differential Safety protects the
compressors against loss of proper lubrication due to
oil line blockage. The "differential oil pressure" for this
safety is computed by measuring discharge pressure and
subtracting oil pressure re turn ing to the compressor
(Discharge - Oil = Oil PSID). Under normal operation,
the oil pressure differential dis play will be less than 25
PSID (1.7 bar), typical 2 - 10 PSID (0.1 to 0.7 bar). If
oil pres sure at the com pres sor drops due to fi l ter block-
age, the dif fer en tial pres sure on the dis play will in crease
and when the max i mum limit is reached, the com pres sor
will be shut down.
This safety is activated after 3 minutes of operation. Oil
pressure must be less than 65 PSID (4.4 bar) for R22
models as long as the compressor continues to run.
