WARNING 
CODE 21 
Compressor stage 1 does not work. 
 After a short cooling interval, the compressor motor will be automatically 
reconnected and the message "CODE 21" no longer appears. 
 
 
In order to guard against a destruction of particular components of the refrigerant 
cycles, different control sensors were installed. The following messages explain the 
particular incidences and give indication for further action. 
WARNING 
CODE 27 
The compressors of both stages were switched off. 
 The high pressure controller in stage 1 measures an excessive pressure. As soon 
as the pressure in stage 2 reaches the lower switching point, the compressors are 
switched on again one after the other. 
 The motor winding protection in stage 1 measures an excessive temperature.
As soon as the temperature in stage 1 reaches the lower switching point, the 
compressors are switched on again one after the other. 
Check the cooling water supply line. 
Wait until the pressure compensation in stage 1 is finished and switch on the unit 
again after waiting for about 25 minutes. 
WARNING 
CODE 28 
The compressor of both stages were switched off. 
 The exit temperature of stage 1 is too high. As soon as the temperature reaches 
the lower switching point, and – as second condition – the pressure proportions 
allow it, the compressors are switched on again delayed. 
ALARM 
CODE 29 
The exit temperature of stage 1 is too high. 
 For this reason the compressors of both stages have already been switched off 4 
times. (see warning CODE 28). 
After a cool-down phase the alarm status can be cancelled by switching off and 
on again at the mains switch, and the unit is ready to operate again. 
In order to avoid the destruction of the compressor, the refrigerant cycle of 1st 
stage should be checked by a specialist first. 
 
ALARM 
CODE 30 
The temperature sensor for the exit temperature of stage 1 is bypassed, or there is a 
line interruption. 
 Have the repair done by a specialist. . 
WARNING 
CODE 40 
Low liquid level warning
WARNING 
CODE 41 
High liquid level warning 
 The fluid level in the reservoir is only a few millimeters below the overflow port 
(12).
WARNING 
CODE 42 
Already for a period of 5 minutes the pressure in stage 2 (high pressure side) is too 
high. 
 The cooling system works at its limit. If the pressure falls below a factory-made 
value for at least 100 seconds, the warning expires again.
