The Troubleshooting section covers problems directly related to the operation and maintenance of the portable chiller. This section does not provide solutions to problems that originate with other equipment. Additional troubleshooting help can be found in manual supplied with the other equipment.

Conditions you may see are:

●electrical - a fuse is out, a switch has tripped

●mechanical - pump, condenser not working

●physical - water flow incorrect

As part of troubleshooting you need to know the status of the inputs and outputs. Open the electrical enclosure and check the status of the inputs and outputs. When they are in normal range, the numbers are highlighted. If the number is not high- lighted, it is out of range.

IDENTIFYING

THE CAUSE OF

A PROBLEM

Always refer to the wiring diagrams you received with your chiller to locate specific electrical compo- nents.

Inputs

Outputs


	I	1	2		3	4	5		6	7			8	9	10 11 12

					DAY							TIME


	O	1			2		3		4	5				6	7	8

In this example, inputs 7 and 8 are highlighted; they are in normal position. The unhighlighted numbers are out of range.

Refer to the wiring diagram and the following table for the switch status:
