Suction Temperature Alarm
When the suction temperature sensor value is out of
range (-41.0 to 303.0°F), the controller will generate
a sensor failure alarm to indicate the sensor is not
working properly.
This alarm cannot be adjusted.
Evaporator Freeze Condition Alarm
The FUSION-TEC Freeze alarm (Evaporator Coil Freeze
Protection) uses the suction temperature sensor to
alarm and manage operation when conditions are
favorable for an evaporator coil freeze condition.
Whenever the compressor is running, the system will
constantly monitor the suction line temperature. If the
suction line temperature falls below the freeze setpoint
(33°F factory default) for a period of time exceeding
freeze alarm delay time (180 seconds factory default),
the system will alarm a freeze condition. Once a
freeze condition is triggered, the system will stop the
compressor operation and increase the blower speed to
80% in order to rapidly warm and thaw the evaporator
coil. After a period of 5 minutes has elapsed, normal
operation will continue.
To adjust the freeze setpoint and/or alarm delay time:
1. Press MENU key to go to the Main Menu screen.
2. Press UP or DOWN keys and ENTER key to enter
USER password 2000.
3. Press UP or DOWN keys to scroll to
System Config
;
press ENTER key.
4. Press UP or DOWN keys to scroll to
Alarm Setup
(A7)
; press ENTER key.
5. Press ENTER key to scroll to
Setpoint
(see Figure
28 on page 18).
6. Press UP or DOWN keys to change to the desired
value.
7. Press ENTER key to save the value/scroll to
Delay
.
8. Press UP or DOWN keys to change to the desired
Delay
value.
9. Press ENTER key to save the value.
Troubleshooting the Suction Pressure Transducer
0-250 psig
-5v Nominal .5 – 4.5v Actual
4v/250 psig = .016 volts per 1 psig
Example:
125 psig x .016 + .5 volts = 2.5 volts
Formula for Tech:
Measured Pressure x .016 + Sensor Offset = Expected
Transducer Signal Voltage (see Figure 26).
Suction Pressure Alarm
When the suction pressure transducer value is out
of range (0-250 PSIG), the controller will generate
a sensor failure alarm to indicate the sensor is not
working properly.
This alarm cannot be adjusted.
Suction Temperature Sensor
The suction temperature sensor is used to calculate
superheat. The EEV uses this value to control the EEV.
The temperature is measured with a 10k ohm NTC
thermistor.
The suction temperature sensor measurement can be
verified and adjusted by:
1. Press MENU key to go to the Main Menu screen.
2. Press UP or DOWN keys and ENTER key to enter
TECHNICIAN password 1313.
3. Press UP or DOWN keys to scroll to
I/O Config
;
press ENTER key.
4. Press UP or DOWN keys to scroll to
Suct Temp
Sensor (C9)
; press ENTER key.
5. Verify the measurement displayed on screen is
accurate (see Figure 27).
6. If the measurement needs to be adjusted, apply an
offset value by pressing ENTER to scroll to
Offset
.
7. Press UP or DOWN keys to adjust the offset.
8. The update will not take effect until the cursor is
moved out of the
Offset
parameter.
