10. Event
Codes
Certain operating conditions, including fault conditions which trip and stop
the compressor, are detected by the Fridgewatch 2100 Controller and
displayed as an event code.
There are 47 different event codes, E1 to E47, although some are not
applicable to a particular application.
15. Appendix 2 - Event Codes E1/E47 Quick-Reference provides an
overview, while 10.3. Event Codes Description describes each event
code in detail.
There are two basic types of event:
•
Information Only
- provide operational or status information
to the operator.
•
Trip
- provide information about a trip event which has
stopped the compressor or prevented it from starting.
10.1. Information
Only
Events
These event codes provide operational or status information to the
operator or service engineer, i.e. events which do not stop the
compressor or prevent it from starting.
There are two types of information only event code: self-clearing and
manual reset. In the latter case the operator must press the
ACKNOWLEDGE button to clear the display.
If more than one information only event is present at the same time, the
Home page shows them in turn. If a trip occurs while there was an event
present, the display cycles showing the trip event and then the
information only event.
10.2. Trip
Events
These event codes provide details of trip events which stop the
compressor or prevent it from starting.
When a trip event occurs, Fridgewatch 2100 stops the compressor if it is
already running and prevents the compressor restarting unless the trip
condition has been cleared and Fridgewatch reset. The
TRIP indicator
begins to ‘flash’, the appropriate trip event code is displayed and the local
audible alarm sounds to draw the operator’s attention to the fault
condition. The ‘compressor healthy’ digital output, D1 on the RAMP4
processor card, changes from ‘on’ to ‘off’.
The procedure for resting a trip event is described in Fig 31.
10.2.1. Compressor Healthy ‘Off’
This indicates that the condition described by the trip event code caused
a fault/alarm to be signalled to other equipment. The Fridgewatch 2100
Controller switches the ‘compressor healthy’ digital output, D1 on the
RAMP4 Processor Card, from ‘on’ to ‘off’. If all compressors controlled
by Fridgewatch are unavailable or tripped, digital output D2 also switches
from ‘on’ to ‘off’.
