28. FAULT ANALYSIS
Syptom
Cause
Solution
The unit does not turn on a) faulty power supply
b) wrong connection of remote keyboard
a) Check protections, fuse, etc.
b) Check connection and polarity
The compressor does
not start up, LED
compressor is on
a) faulty power supply
b) faulty contactor
c) internal klixon is open
d) Compresor full of liquid
a) Check protections, fuse, etc.
b) Replace
c) Wait for recovery and check compressor
intensity
d) Plug in the unit to activate crankase heater
(when included) and wait several hours before
switching on. Load-unload circuit alternatively
The compressor doesn’t
start. Compressor led
flashing
a) faulty power supply
b) faulty contactor
c) internal klixon is open
a) Check pressure value and/or check safety
devices (pressure switches) by checking
continuity in board connectors. Look for the
cause:
à
LP switch closed: switch on-off the unit
à
faulty pressure switches: identify and
replace.
b) Wait and/or check AC parameter
c) check electrical continuity in board terminals
The compressor stops
some few seconds after
having started. The
motor produces an
intermittent noise and the
internal klixon is opened.
a) Low supply voltage
b) Faulty starting kit (check the starting relay)
(only single-phase units)
c) Blocked compresor
d) Blocked compresor
e) Liquid slug (the starting up was posibly
done without connecting the crankage heater
with sufficient time
a) Check the power supply and look for the
voltage drop
b) Replace compressor and start kit (only
single-phase unit)
c) Check oil level and oil return to the
compressor through the suction line. If needed
install oil traps or remake the suction line.
d) Replace compressor
e) Plug in the unit to activate crankase heater
(when included) and vacuum for a time.
Reload and start-up the unit
Repetitive compressor
starts and stops
a) if the compressor LED is flashing
b) if the compressor LED is on (opened klixon)
c) Too small regulation differential or too
powerful unit for the room size, or empty room
without any thermal inertia.
a) Check pressures and/or safety chain to look
for the activated device.
à
HP pressure switch: condenser is blocked,
poor ventilation, too much refrigerant, high
room temperature, faulty control of condensing
temperature, etc.
à
LP pressure switch: connect the
manometer to HP&LP switches and bypass
refrigerant from high pressure to low pressure
sectors. Then find out the reason (frost, leak,
condensation control, valves, etc
b) V Check oil level and oil return to the
compressor through the suction line. If needed
install oil traps or remake the suction line.
c) Increase regulation differential (parameter
