Superheat controller and stepper valve driver, Type EKE 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D
8 Alarms and troubleshooting
Depending on the application, the EKE 1x series implements error codes and alarms to help the user troubleshoot
and correct parameters easily. When an alarm occurs, the following actions generally ensue:
• the "Alarm" or "Warning" relay is activated
• an icon and the alarm code are displayed on the screen
The alarms are reset automatically. The alarm is deactivated as soon as the alarm condition ceases. Otherwise, the
user must follow the deactivation procedure once the alarm conditions is over. When the alarm is eliminated the
alarm, relay is deactivated, and the alarm code will no longer be displayed.

Two status LEDs to indicate operational status
• Steady green = power ON
• Flashing green = data transmission /
initialization
• Flickering red = alarm / error condition
Two status LEDs to indicate valve operation
• Flashing red = valve closing
• Steady red = valve fully closed
• Flashing green = valve opening
• Steady green = valve fully open
• Both green and red ashing = valve-related

Remark
One or more con guration errors is block-
ing operation to start. Check the other ac-
tive alarms to identify the con guration
problem.
No refrigerant is selected, con gure the
correct refrigerant. See "0030 Refrigerant"
SH reference can come to close to the SH
close safety functions et point. which can
result in unstable operation. Keep min.
0.5K separation between minimum SH ref-
erence and N119 SH close set point.
The set point for the 2-pressure safety
function Lop and Mop is to close. Keep
min. 5K separation between NO11 MOP
set point and N140 LOP set point
