MCS – MicroMag Error / Alarm Manual
Version: 02/21/2020
This alarm will trip if the suction superheat falls
below the value of Setpoint #67 for an allotted
time. When suction superheat drops too low,
liquid refrigerant could enter the compressor,
causing damage. If the compressor has low
suction superheat, a LOW SUCT SPHT alarm
will display. The unit will attempt to run again
after a few minutes, but another trip within the
next hour will result in a lockout.
Note: Supervisor password (2112) is
required to reset lockouts
