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.
