Alarm Codes
Following is a detailed description of
each alarm code error and possible cause. Manual reset of
an alarm is accomplished by moving
STOP-CCN Switch to STOP position, then back to LO-
CAL or CCN position. See Table 14 for listing of each alarm
code.
Code 0
No alarms exist
Codes 1 8 Compressor failure
If DSIO-LV or -EXV relay module control relay feed-
back switch or signal is sensed as open during operation of
a compressor, microprocessor detects this and stops com-
pressor, energizes alarm light, and displays a code of
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 depending on the compressor. Compres-
sor locks off; to reset, use manual reset method.
If lead compressor in a circuit shuts down, the other com-
pressors in the circuit stop and lock off. Only the alarm
mode for lead compressor is displayed.
The microprocessor is also programmed to indicate com-
pressor failure if feedback terminal on DSIO-LV or -EXV
terminal strip receives voltage when compressor is not
supposed to be on.
