Problem
Probable Cause
Remedy
IEC Control Panel with Starter, PLC, and Magnehelic Gauge
Fan blower motor does
not start
If a fan blower motor fails to
start or shuts down due to a
short, overload or other fault,
the panel indicates an alarm
by flashing the RUNNING
light. Two amber lights flash
in a pattern indicating which
circuit tripped the alarm.
Improper motor wire size
Rewire using the correct wire gauge as specified by
national and local codes.
Not wired correctly
Check and correct motor wiring for supply voltage. See
motor manufacturer's wiring diagram. Follow wiring
diagram and the National Electric Code.
Collector not wired for available
voltage
Correct wiring for proper supply voltage.
For example: The overload on
the manual motor protector
#3 trips. The RUNNING light
starts flashing. The amber
lights blink three times
indicating the #3 motor.
The alarm feature repeats
itself until the STOP button
is pressed and the circuit is
reset.
Branch circuit protection or
overload tripped
Disconnect power using the disconnect switch. Press the
black start button on the Manual Motor Protector, MMP.
The red stop button should remain extended. The overload
relay in the MMP resets automatically when the black start
button is reset.
Defective motor branch circuit
protection or overload relay
Replace as necessary.
Defective control transformer or
control transformer branch circuit
protection
Disconnect power using the disconnect switch. Check
the control transformer T1, the primary fuse FU1, and
the secondary fuse FU2. If fuses are good, check output
voltage for 115-Volts. Replaced the transformer if output
voltage is excessively high or low.
Pulse cleaning does not
operate
Defective wiring
Check wiring to solenoid valves.
Defective solenoid valves
Check solenoid coils and replace as necessary.
PLC output is not energized or is
defective
Check supply voltage to the PLC timer. If voltage is not
present at PLC Terminals L and N, check the control
transformer fuses FU1 and FU2. Observe the output
LED's corresponding to the wiring diagram. Set the
selector switch SW1 to ON. The LED's flash in sequence
indicating the PLC is pulsing the solenoid valves. Check
the output voltage between neutral N, 302, 303, and
remaining solenoid connections using an analog voltmeter
set to the 150-Volt AC scale. The needle deflects if voltage
is present when LED flashes. If LED's do not flash or no
voltage is present, replace the PLC.
Lack of compressed air
Maintain 50-60 psig. Adjust as necessary.
