MPC Code 4: 

Stage 1 Refrigeration is not powered, as determined by current sensors.  This failure can 
be due to [internal] overtemp cutouts, trip of a circuit breaker, etc. 

 
MPC Code 5: 

Stage 2 Refrigeration is not powered.  See Code 4. 

 
MPC Code 6: 

Pump is not powered.  May be not powered, fuse may be blown, etc. 

 
MPC Code 7: 

System has been programmed for control from Remote sensor.  Remote sensor is open-
circuit. 

 
MPC Code 8: 

 

EDC Code 3: 

High temperature alarm.  Process temperature exceeds ALARMH? 

 
MPC Code 9: 
EDC Code 4: 

Low temperature alarm.  Process temperature has fallen below ALARML? 

 
MPC Code 10: 

Same as MPC Code 4, for a single-stage (only one compressor) system. 

 
MPC Code 11: 
EDC Code 5: 

Overtemp.  Indicates activation of fail-safe [control-independent] overtemperature safety 

device. 
 
MPC Code 12: 

4-20mA Alarm.  Indicates disconnect of 4-20mA current source to remote analog 

programming input, if such interface is specified. 

Rs-232 Error Codes 

 

The following error codes are returned Ennn if the parser/syntaxer/limits-checking software finds fault with 
the received string. 
 

Group 0: UART Transmit/Receive and General Receive errors. 

 
E001 

UART Overrun.  Character received by UART before previous character has been retrieved from 

the character input buffer.  Microprocessor hardware failure. 
 
E002 

Parity Error.  Character detected has incorrect parity as defined by control-panel programming.  

See PARITY? 
 
E003 

Frame Error.  Incorrect number of Stop Bits detected on received character.  See STOPBITS? 

 
E004 

Break Error.  UART detects loss of RS-232 line with host.  This error is only reported if such a 

break occurs after the receipt of valid data, and before receipt of a <CR> (carriage return).  Line break is 
otherwise ignored. 
 
E005 

Line Too Long.  Received "line" (character string) exceeds 128 characters without receipt of 

<CR> (carriage return). 
 
E006 

Receive Buffer Overrun.  1KB character input buffer is full.  Commands are being received faster 

than they can be processed. 
 
E007 

Line Buffer Overrun.  Lines are being received faster than they can be processed. 

 
E008 

Break Error.  See E004.
