1 Introduction
CoreSense™is an ingredient brand name for compressor electronics associated with Emerson’s Copeland™
brand products. CoreSense technology uses the compressor as a sensor to unlock information from within the
compressor providing value added features such as advanced motor protection, diagnostics, power consumption
measurement and communication.
With active protection, advanced algorithms, and features like fault history and LED indicators, CoreSense
Diagnostics for Copeland brand products compressors enable technicians to diagnose the past and recent state of
the system, allowing for quicker, more accurate diagnostics and less downtime. CoreSense Diagnostics is available
as standard with the 4- and 6-cylinder Stream compressors.

D7.8.4/0112-0415/E 3/17
CoreSense is compatible with VFD applications by turning on the DIP-Switch 12 in the front module. The features
available for VFD are limited: motor overheat protection, insufficient oil pressure protection and high discharge
temperature protection. Other features are available in Control Techniques frequency inverters.
Figure 2
3.1 Insufficient oil pressure protection
The CoreSense Diagnostics module replaces the mechanical oil pressure switch. Furthermore, it provides the
added value of communication for insufficient oil pressure warning and lockouts via LED flash codes and/or a
supervisory pack controller. Total insufficient oil pressure time for the compressor is stored and accumulated in the
module memory.
CoreSense Diagnostics will issue a warning when the oil pressure differential falls below 0.48-0.62 bar for
4 seconds.
Once the oil pressure differential falls below 0.48-0.62 bar for 2 minutes (120 sec), the module will shut the
compressor off and a "low oil pressure lockout" will be reported. Before using the reset button, troubleshooting
needs to be done to understand the failure. The compressor will switch back on once the reset has been manually
activated or when power has been cycled to the CoreSense module.
This feature is not applicable to compressor models 4MTL (Stream CO2compressors) as these have no positive oil
pump fitted and are “splash” lubricated.
3.2 Motor overheat protection
Using Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) sensors on 4M* and 6M* Stream compressor models, the
CoreSense Diagnostics module provides motor overheating protection. The CoreSense Diagnostics module
replaces the Kriwan module INT69TM.
Alarm conditions:
Trip condition: PTC Resistance > 4.5 kΩ;
Reset condition: PTC Resistance < 2.5 kΩ; 5 min time delay.
3.3 High discharge temperature protection
Discharge temperature protection is provided using a NTC sensor in the compressor cylinder head.
The sensor is pre-installed at the factory and connected to the module. CoreSense will protect the compressor from
high discharge temperature conditions. If the temperature sensor detects a discharge temperature higher than

D7.8.4/0112-0415/E 4/17
154°C, the CoreSense will shut off the compressor until the temperature cools down to an acceptable level (about
130°C).
Either trip or lockout alarm can be selected by user using the PC interface software. Default is trip alarm. Trip and
reset settings are configurable using PC interface software. The configurable range of trip settings is 108°C to
154°C and the reset value is 83°C to 130°C.
Trip/lockout value ≥ 154°C for 2 sec.
Trip alarm: automatic reset after 2 minutes; discharge temp < 130°C.
Lockout alarm: manual reset is necessary.
3.4 Locked rotor protection
CoreSense detects the locked rotor condition of the compressor. It has trip and lockout alarms. Initial alarm will be
“Trip” alarm with autoreset and 10 consecutive trip alarms will result in “Lockout” alarm which requires manual
reset.
3.5 Missing phase protection
If any one of the 3 power phases is missing immediately after the compressor contactor is energized, a single-
phasing condition exists.
The maximum response time shall be 1.2 seconds from the time of contactor energization.
Alarm conditions: Appears in case of missing phase conditions.
Trip time: 5 minutes with automatic reset.
Lockout condition: Appears after the 10 consecutive trip alarms. Manual reset (using reset button below
the module or by cycling the power to the module).
In the case of a part winding motor this feature is detectable for primary winding only. Missing phase, voltage
imbalance and low voltage are not detectable for the secondary winding. A missing phase can be detected during
start-up, but not while the motor is running.
3.6 Low voltage protection
Appears when there is a low supply voltage.
Alarm conditions: Motor compressor voltage < low voltage setting at compressor running state. The default low
voltage setting is 75% of the nominal line voltage stored in the module for 2 seconds.
Trip time: 5 minutes.
The module determines the operating frequency of the compressor. The compressor low voltage setting shall be
lowered by the same percentage as the operating frequency if less than the nominal frequency. For example if a
60 Hz nominal frequency compressor is running at 57 Hz (5% less), then the low voltage setting shall be reduced
by 5%.
3.7 Voltage imbalance protection
The purpose of this feature is to protect the compressor against a voltage imbalance condition that leads to motor
overheating.
A configurable setting (default = 5%) for voltage imbalance is used to determine the operating limit of the
compressor. The voltage imbalance setting is configurable in the range of 2 to 8 % using the PC interface software.
Alarm conditions:
Trip: When the voltage imbalance > 5% (configurable).
Reset: Automatic reset after 5 min; voltage imbalance < 5%.

D7.8.4/0112-0415/E 5/17
3.8 “Jog” feature
The reset button below the control module may be used as an emergency shutdown,
such as for clearing liquid during start-up. After the module re-boots (approximately
3 seconds) the compressor will run again. The reset button may be pushed as necessary
to stop the compressor.
Reset button
Figure 3
3.9 Crankcase heater (CCH) control
The sensor module contains an on-board CCH control relay. An auxiliary contactor is no longer required to turn the
heater on when the compressor turns off.
The appropriate voltage supply to the CCH power input terminals (115V / 230V) is required.
The control of a 480V crankcase heater is not supported by CoreSense Diagnostics.
3.10 Flash memory information
Emerson Climate Technologies can provide software to access EEPROM information.
The following asset information will be saved in the flash memory (EEPROM):
Compressor model number
Compressor serial number
Compressor model number modified
Compressor serial number modified
Compressor nominal voltage and frequency
Sensor module firmware revision
For dual voltage motors the lower value is saved in EEPROM memory. It is advised to change the nominal voltage
setting values to the correct operating voltage in the EEPROM memory using PC interface software. Even if the
nominal voltage is not changed, there is no effect on the compressor functionality due to this setting.
Compressor running status information will be saved in the flash memory (EEPROM):
Number of compressor running hours
Number of compressor starts
Accumulated runtime without good oil pressure
Number of short cycles (compressor starts with a less than 3-minute runtime)
Compressor operating parameters:

3.11 Modbus® communication
CoreSense Diagnostics has communication capability via a Modbus network connection. With communication
enabled CoreSense warnings, trip and lockout alarms can be displayed and recorded in a pack controller with
Modbus such as the iPro Rack Controller from Dixell.
Two types of Modbus are used with Stream compressors. The only possibility to identify which one is fitted in a
CoreSense module is to open the module lid, and to look at the circuit board and label.
Most of the features are the same; the main differences are explained in Technical information
D7.8.6 “CoreSense™ Diagnostics for Stream Compressors - Modbus® Specification”.
All the pictures and information hereafter deal with the more recent version.
The communication cable is wired from the pack controller to the first compressor. Additional compressors are
wired in a daisy-chained configuration. The last compressor in the daisy chain should be terminated by jumper JP3
in the front module. Please refer to Figures 4 and 5.
Figure 4: RS485 daisy-chain connection Figure 5: Two-rack daisy-chain connection
CoreSense modules can be connected to a PC through the CoreSense PC Interface software. Figure 6 depicts
how to connect the CoreSense Diagnostics module to the PC, using USB to RS485 Dixell adapter.
Communication Port (+ GND –)
Figure 6
Modbus communication in CoreSense allows communication with any other third-party pack controller. The
Emerson E2 controller has –GND + polarity.
The RS485 connection can be removed from the board without switching off the compressor.

3.16 Oil functionality self-test option
When assembling a Stream compressor at the OEM it is
possible to proceed to an oil functionality test during
production. To enter this test mode simply switch DIP-
switch 11 from Off to On.
This test mode “simulates” current present (or
compressor running). After 2 minutes, the oil pressure
lockout can be observed.
Test mode:
Step 1: Power On / reset module
Step 2: Within 5 seconds, switch DIP-switch 11 from Off to On
Step 3: Low oil pressure warning for 2 minutes followed by low oil pressure lockout (red LED blinking once)
Step 4: Press reset button

4.2 Terminal box and current sensing transformer connections
Make sure that the black lead from the sensor module is always connected to terminal 2 (factory-installed). Black
lead from sensor module must always be connected to that terminal of which power supply cable is lead through
current sensor.
4.2.1 Installation of current sensing module
One of the motor power leads passes through the “toroid” (current
sensing module). Information from the current sensing module is used
to determine running amps, power consumption and locked rotor
conditions. There are 3 voltage sensing leads attached to the motor
terminals and connected to the sensor module. Two of the leads are
white, and one is black. For proper calculation of power factor and motor
power it is necessary for the black voltage sensing lead and the power
lead through the current sensing module to be connected to the same
motor terminal.
The sensor module needs 3VA (Volt-Ampere) and a 24V AC power
supply. Therefore a Class II transformer must be used. Class II
transformers have a maximum rating of less than 100VA and a
maximum secondary output of 30V AC.
Figure 11: Current sensing module and T-Box wiring
4.2.2 CoreSense Diagnostics with Υ/Δmotors
The terminal box and the current sensing “toroid” connections are
factory-installed. One of the motor power leads must be routed through
the centre opening of the current sensing transformer (see Figures 12 &
13 below).
Figure 12: Current sensing transformer
Figure 13: Wiring sensor module and leads routed through the current sensor

D7.8.4/0112-0415/E 12/17
4.2.3 CoreSense Diagnostics with part winding
If using the CoreSense Diagnostics module with a part-winding start motor, one power lead of each of the windings
should be passed through the current sensing transformer in the same direction (see Figures 14 & 15) to provide
accurate compressor proofing. If the leads (L2 and L8 in picture below) are not routed in the same direction, the
running current may indicate close to zero.

5 CoreSense Diagnostics jumper settings
The last compressor in the daisy-chain must be “terminated” by moving the JP3 jumper from “2-3”to “1-2”. For all
other compressors the jumper should remain in the default “2-3”position.
JP4 factory setting is “1-2” (2 Stop Bits). Depending on the Modbus parameters, it can be switched to position “2-3”
(1 Stop Bits).
Do not remove JP1. This is reserved for future use.

Table 5: CoreSense Diagnostics DIP-switch setting
If you use CoreSense communication, assign a unique node address to each CoreSense Diagnostics module using
switches 1 through 6.
a. Set the communications baud rate for the module using switch 7. “Off” = 19200 baud, “On” = 9600 baud.
The baud rate for each module should be set to match the pack controller.
b. Set switch 8 to “Off” for no parity, to “On” for even parity.
c. Set switch 9 to “Off” for stand-alone mode, to “On” for network mode. Network mode will generate a
communications error if the pack controller fails to communicate with the device. For stand-alone mode, no
communications are expected so the communication error is blocked.
d. Factory default setting is “On”for DIP-switch 10, ie, discharge temperature protection. If you want to
disconnect the discharge temperature sensor, turn off DIP-switch 10.
Push the reset button after changing the switch settings.
Ensure that the DIP-switch settings on each module match the settings for the selected controller communication
port.

Insufficient oil
pressure
Alert: Appears when the differential
oil pressure is less than 0.48 –0.62
bar for 4 seconds.
Lockout: Appears when the
differential oil pressure is less than
0.48 –0.62 bar for 2 minutes
continuous or intermittent but
determined to be unsafe.
Loose wiring connections
between CoreSense module
and oil sensor.
Faulty oil sensor (missing O-
ring or clogged sensor
screen).
Faulty oil pump.
Clogged strainer screen or
worn bearings.
Check the oil level present in the sight glass. If the oil is not present, resolve
reservoir oil supply problem or oil level control setting issues.
Check that the harness is fully engaged to the sensor.
Measure oil pump differential pressure. If less than 0.48 to 0.62 bar, inspect for
clogged oil screen, faulty oil pump, liquid floodback or worn bearings.
If good oil pressure exists, measure resistance across the oil sensor while the
compressor runs. If the sensor resistance is "open" inspect for clogged sensor
screen or missing O-ring.
If sensor resistance is "closed", temporarily jumper across the harness connector
pins (do not damage the pins!) while the compressor runs. If the oil warning does
not go away, check harness connector engagement at the module circuit board.
2
Motor overheat
Trip: Appears when the motor is
overheated.
Motor rotor is mechanically
seized.
Open circuit in harness.
Connector pin not engaging
at connector on control
module.
Faulty CoreSense module.
In case of trip alarm, allow the motor to cool down for a minimum of 2 minutes (it
may take longer) and the compressor will start automatically.
If resistance is low, inspect for loose terminal strip connections, harness
connection failure at circuit board, open harness circuit or high motor temp due
to return gas temperature, motor voltage or load condition.
3
Discharge temp
protection
Alert: Appears when the discharge
temperature sensor is defective or
disconnected.
Trip/Lockout: Appears when the
discharge temperature is > 154°C for
2 seconds.
Open discharge probe
(faulty).
The probe connection has
not been made to the
harness connector.
The connector is not plugged
into the CoreSense circuit
board.
The discharge temperature
has exceeded the maximum
limit 154°C.
Blocked condenser.
Possible loss of refrigerant.
If there is an alert, check proper probe connection to the harness and proper
harness connection into the circuit board.
If there is an alert, unplug the discharge temp probe and check if the resistance
of the probe is as specified vs its approximate ambient temperature.
If the probe resistance is correct inspect the harness connector receptacle for
damage and apply NyoGel 760G connector lubricant.
Trip or Lockout: resolve system issues (high superheat, high head pressure),
inspect for mechanical damage that can lead to high temps (valve plate gasket,
suction or discharge valve failure).

Faulty current sensor.
Faulty sensor module.
Check if the CT connector is connected to the sensor module. If not connect the
4-pin current sensor connector into the sensor module.
Check if there is continuity between pin 3 & 4 (closest to the latch) of the current
sensing connector. The resistance should be less than 1 Ω. If the resistance is
greater than 1 Ω, replace the current sensing module. Be certain that the
receptacles are fully engaged in the connector block.
Check if the Amp and Volts values are correctly displayed. If not, inspect the
wire harness connector to ensure that the pins are fully engaged.
If the above-mentioned trouble shooting measures did not give positive results,
the reason is mis-installed connector or faulty sensor module. Replace the
faulty sensor module with new one.

Is there a communication network? If not, set the network dip-switch to "stand-
alone" and press reset.
Is there a communication network? If not, check that the communication
harness is engaged at both the CoreSense module and the sensor module.
If the LED on the top edge of the sensor module is dark, check 24 VAC power
to the sensor module, or replace the sensor module.
If communication network amber light is continuously on, reverse the
communication wire polarity. If voltage between centre pin and the right or left
pin is not 2.3-2.6 VDC, inspect for communication wire failure or wire strands
that are "shorting" between the wires or to ground.
