BULLDOG SideWinder – Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 

 

 

COOL OPERATION

 

1.   Monitoring of the refrigerant cycle continues during operation of the compressor. The 

following malfunctions will cause the compressor to shutdown: 

a.   If the head pressure exceeds the set point of the high pressure switch, the switch 

will open and the control board will terminate the compressor operation within 
10 seconds. At this time a flash code of 6 will be initiated on the red diagnostic 
LED 15. Compressor operation will be restored in accordance with the 
“Intelligent reset” algorithm. 

b.   If the suction pressure drops below the set point of the low pressure switch, the 

switch will open and if it remains open beyond the 1 minute ignore period after 
start up, compressor operation will be terminated within 10 seconds. 
Compressor operation will be restored in accordance with the “Intelligent Reset” 
algorithm. A flash code of 5 on the red diagnostic LED will be initiated at this 
time. 

c.    Intelligent Reset Algorithm – If a low or high pressure switch opens and remains 

open for more than 10 minutes, a hard lockout will be initiated and the cooling 
mode will be locked off until the controls are manually reset. At the same time 
the fault relay K3 will be set to alarm; however, if the open switch closes within 
10 minutes a restart cycle is initiated. The restart cycle begins with a 10 minute 
delay after which if there is a cool call in place and all other enablers are within 
the start parameters, the compressor will again be put into operation. Should 
either of the pressure switches open again, the shutdown procedure will cycle 
again, followed by a restart. The intelligent reset will allow two open switch 
shutdowns and restarts in a 24 hour period. If a third shutdown occurs within 
24 hours this will put the refrigeration system into a full and hard lockout, 
requiring a power down to reset. If two or less switch open shutdowns occur 
within a 24 hour period, they will be erased from memory and will not 
contribute to a future hard lockout. (A hard lockout will prevent compressor 
operation until the controls are powered down for at least 20 seconds, and the 
green power light goes out. A soft lockout is a compressor shutdown that will 
be restored once the condition causing the shutdown returns to normal.) 

d.   During compressor operation, refrigerant temperature, system fluid temperature 

and discharge air temperature are continuously monitored. If the refrigerant 
temperature 
drops below 40

°

F, compressor operation will be disabled. After 10 

minutes an auto reset occurs and the compressor will be enabled as soon as the 
temperature rises above 65

°

F. Actual compressor restart will be delayed a 

minimum of 5 minutes by the anti-recycle timer. A flash code 
of 2 will be initiated upon a low refrigerant temperature shutdown.
