Controller Diagnostics
The MP3000a can be a very helpful diagnostic
tool.
The following menu areas of the MP3000a
controller menu will help you diagnose problems
occurring with the Magnum unit.
Alarms Menu:
The Alarm List menu displays
alarm codes. Alarm codes are recorded in the
controller memory to simplify unit diagnosis
procedures. Some alarm codes are only recorded
during a pretrip (PTI) test or function test. Fault
codes are retained by the controller in a
non-volatile memory. Refer to the Alarms Menu
in the Operating Instructions Section.
Brief PTI Test:
The MP-3000a controller contains
a special Brief PTI pretrip test that automatically
checks unit refrigeration capacity, heating
capacity, temperature control, and individual
components including the controller display,
contactors, fans, protection devices and sensors.
The test includes measurement of component
power consumption and compares test results to
expected values. The test takes about 25-30
minutes to complete, depending on the container
and ambient temperature. Refer to the Brief PTI
Test in the Operating Instructions Section.
Full PTI Test:
The MP-3000a controller contains a
special Full PTI pretrip test that automatically
checks unit refrigeration capacity, heating
capacity, temperature control, and individual
components including the controller display,
contactors, fans, protection devices and sensors.
The test includes measurement of component
power consumption and compares test results to
expected values. The test takes up to 2 to 2.5
hours to complete, depending on the container and
ambient temperature. Refer to the Full PTI Test
Menu in the Operating Instructions Section.
Functions Test:
The MP-3000a controller contains
a special function test that automatically tests
individual components including the controller
display, sensors, condenser fan, evaporator fan,
compressors, etc. The test includes measurement
of component power consumption and compares
test results to expected values. Refer to the
Functions Test Menu in the Operating Instructions
Section.
Manual Functions Test:
The Manual Function Test
menu allows technicians to perform specific
diagnostic tests on individual components or turn
several components on at the same time to
perform a system test. Refer to the Manual
Functions Test Menu in the Operating Instructions
Section.
Data:
The Data menu displays general unit
operating information including sensor
temperatures, unit electrical data, etc. Refer to the
Data Menu in the Operating Instructions Section.
