Solution

Check main disconnect, fuses, wiring, and power lead to unit.

Voltage must be within plus or minus 10% of nameplate rating.

Replace.

Replace control circuit fuse. Check transformer.

Check for a short circuit. Replace.

Add water or water/glycol solution as required.

Reset and test.

Lower the leaving fluid temperature below the leaving temperature you desire.

Allow time to cool and reset, then check for high/low volt-age. It must be within plus or minus 10% of the nameplate rating.

Check for open fuses and loose compressor electrical connections.

Repair or replace.

Repair or replace.

Locate and repair.

Clean

Check hot gas analog output value through status screen. Contact Service if output value remains at 0% throughout compressor cycle.

Install bypass between to-and-from process line

Make sure that the water/glycol mixture protection is right for the process.
