The chiller has detected a problem that could lead to equipment damage or personal injury if it is not corrected.

◆The Alarm LED lights and the STOP/RUN LED flashes red.

◆The chiller turns off the compressor, but normal operation resumes after you clear the alarm or the problem corrects itself.

◆The control displays a red LED or alarm code indicating the source of the problem.

SHUT DOWN ALARMS

Alarm

Possible cause Solution

Compressor

The compressor overload has tripped.

NOTE: This alarm is available only on models with semi- hermetic compressor sizes 15 Hp and above.

Is the correct voltage supplied to the motor on the compressor?

Is the overload faulty or set incorrectly?

Supply voltage should match the rating on the motor name plate. If voltage is correct, check wiring connections.

Disconnect the power and open the electrical enclosure for the compressor. Verify that the overload is set to trip at the proper amperage, which should not exceed the FLA. Manually trip and reset the overload. If the problem con- tinues, replace the overload.

Is the compressor faulty? Replace the compressor if supply voltage, wiring and overload settings are correct, but the pump continues to draw excessive current.

Oil Safety Alarm

The Oil Safety input is open.

NOTE: This alarm can be present only on models with compressor sizes 15 Hp and above.

Oil level in the compres- sor is low, or the input has failed.

See PERFORMING SYSTEM TESTS

and perform an INPUT TEST. If the input is OK, call Conair service.
