Starter Fault
The Intellisys control system uses an auxiliary contact
(1Sa, 1Ma and 2Ma) on each contactor to indicate
when the contactor is either open or closed.
When the compressor is in operation and one of the
contactors opens while the controller logic indicates it
should be closed, the auxiliary contact also opens to
signal the controller there is a problem. The controller
issues a STARTER FAULT alarm. A loose wire, faulty
starter coil or burned triac could cause the problem.
This alarm is also issued if the starter is directed to
open and the contactor remains in the closed position.
Main Motor Overload
This alarm occurs whenever the contacts of the
overload relay (1OL) open and remain open for at
least 1 second. The relay contacts operate a 5 Volt
DC circuit, are normally-closed and shipped from the
factory in the automatic reset position.
Basically, 1OL has a heater element for each of the
three phases supplying current to the main motor and
each is sized for the amperage drawn at full load.
Should an overload condition develop to draw higher
than normal current, the heater elements produce
additional amounts of heat. This additional heat is
sensed by a small strip made of two dissimilar metals
bonded together that have different rates of
expansion. As the bi-metal strip heats up, it bends as
a result of the two different expansion rates until it trips
the overload relay contacts to the open position.
As the contacts open, the compressor is shut down
and MAIN MTR OVERLD will appear in the message
display.
Fan Motor Overload
An alarm that occurs and will shut the compressor
down whenever the fan motor overload relay 2OL
opens and remains open for at least one second. The
operation of 2OL is the same as 1OL.
Some causes for a Fan Motor Overload alarm could
include low incoming voltage, loose connections,
wrong fan blade installed or improperly sized heater
elements. The message display will show FAN MTR
OVERLOAD as long as 2OL remains open.
Temperature Sensor Failure
This alarm can be caused by an extremely high and
unusual resistance value across 2ATT such as can be
measured at approximately 0°F. (-17.8°C.) and below,
a loose connection at junction J2, a broken wire in the
temperature sensor 2ATT circuit or a faulty sensor.
Remote Stop Failure
This alarm will be issued when the momentary remote
stop switch is held open longer than 1 second to stop
a unit but has not re-closed
by the time the next restart attempt is made.
The restart attempt must be a result of an operator
pressing the Intellisys Start button or the Remote Start
button.
This alarm is only active if the Remote Start/Stop
option prom is installed and the Remote Start/Stop
feature turned ON in the Option Selection set-point
routine.
Check Motor Rotation
After applying incoming power to an SE compressor,
this alarm will occur if the controller has not measured
positive sump pressure within 2 seconds after starting.
When positive pressure is not sensed, the controller
instantly obtains a negative pressure signal from 3APT
to determine if a vacuum is in the sump. If vacuum is
read, the controller assumes reverse rotation and
issues the alarm to stop the compressor and place CK
MTR ROTATION in the message display.
After the controller has once confirmed correct
rotation, this alarm will not be checked again until the
power supply has been removed from the unit.
Calibration Failure
An alarm activated when attempting to calibrate 3APT
with pressure still applied in excess of 10% of the
sensor rating.
The alarm serves to alert the operator of calibration
error which could overload the unit or cause the relief
valve to lift.
No Control Power
This alarm will be issued when the Intellisys controller
senses a loss of the 120 volt AC power supply to the
triac circuit that controls the starter coils and
solenoids.
A blown fuse (3FU), opening of the 120 volt contacts
of the Emergency Stop switch, opening of the High Air
Temperature switch (1ATS) or a loose/broken wire will
cause this alarm.
