Status Function - Carrier Ecologic Series 3 Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service, And Troubleshooting

STATUS FUNCTION — This function shows the rotating dis-
play, current status of alarm and alert (diagnostic) codes,
capacity stages, operating modes, chilled water set point, all
measured system temperatures and pressures, analog inputs,
and switch inputs. Refer to Table 13 for a complete description
of the function.
Alarms/Alerts — Alarms and alerts are messages that one or
more faults have been detected. The alarms and alerts indicate
failures that cause the unit to shut down, terminate an option
(such as reset) or result in the use of a default value such as
a set point. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for more
information.
Up to 10 alarms/alerts can be stored at once. To view them,
press . The control will display the current total num-
ber of alarms/alerts. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the
list. Press the key when needed to view the full description
of an alarm or alert. Press
Table 14.
IMPORTANT: Do not clear the alarms without first
reviewing the full list and investigating and correcting
the cause of the alarms.
When an alarm or alert is stored in the display and the ma-
chine automatically resets, the alarm/alert is deleted. Codes for
safeties which do not automatically reset are not deleted until
the problem is corrected and the machine is reset. To clear
manual reset alarms from the CPM modules, the reset button
on the HSIO bracket must be pressed. Next, switch the LOR
switch to OFF and back to Local or Remote position (default
alarm clearing method). Press
clear the alarm from the PSIO if the default LOR reset function
has been disabled.
