S70-401 IOM RXF PLUS MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL PANEL MAINTENANCE Page 20 TROUBLESHOOTING FRICK SBC MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEM (Refer to Wiring Diagrams) SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSES and CORRECTIONS DISPLAY IS INOPERATIVE Check the 10 amp fuse (2FU) which controls all voltage going to the microprocessor.
Page 21
The current transducer is used to convert the AC motor amps to a DC voltage signal for the (FORCED UNLOAD) OCCURS microprocessor. If the %FLA reading from the Operating display is incorrect, consult Frick Co. PRESSURES ON THE TEST 1 - Shut down the compressor and allow pressures to equalize. Discharge pressure OPERATING DISPLAY and oil pressure should have the same reading.
