Error 
Code 

Description 

Cause/Corrective Action 

127 

Compressor overload on chiller 

Indicates the internal compressor motor winding thermostat or the external 
compressor motor overload has tripped. This fault also shuts off the pump. The 
internal compressor motor winding thermostat automatically resets when the 
temperature drops back into the normal operating range. The external 
compressor motor overload requires a manually reset. The compressor motor 
overload is located inside the electrical enclosure. Once the internal compressor 
motor winding thermostat resets and/or the external compressor motor 
overload resets, press the Alarm Reset button to reset the fault. 

128 

Chiller high temperature safety 

Indicates the chiller has shut off due to the high temperature safety. This safety 
shuts off both the pump and compressor. This safety occurs if the To Process 
temperature rises more than 10°F above the maximum operating temperature 
noted on the chiller nameplate. The To Process temperature must be over the 
limit for three minutes before this safety occurs, and the fault is defeated for a 
period of thirty minutes from the time the Start button is pressed or the Set 
Point temperature is changed. Pressing the Alarm Reset button will reset this 
fault. 

129 

Input Contact Chatter 

Indicated there is chatter on the input contact. 

 
 

SPI Communications Option 

Several members of SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade 
Association defined a communications standard for 
various pieces of plastic processing equipment to 
communicate. They chose to adopt the Serial 
Peripheral Interface bus (SPI bus) which coincidently 
has the same abbreviation as the trade association. 
To allow our unit to operate as a slave unit in a 
plastic processing system using this protocol, we 
offer an option that includes an expansion module 
for the control board and a RS-485 communication 
port on the unit. The communication hardware 
firmware is SPI 3.01 standard compliant. 
 
Units ordered with this option will have this feature 
activated at the factory. If for some reason this 
feature is deactivated the DIP switch setting may 
need to be adjusted. 
 
When the SPI option is purchased, there is a second 
set of DIP switches included on the back of the main 
control panel. This set of DIP switches is labeled 
"COMM". All DIP switch adjustments that follow are 
to be made on the COMM set. Do not adjust any DIP 
switches on the CONFIG set. 
 

Note:  All DIP switch changes must be made with power 
disconnected. 

In order to activate the SPI protocol, DIP switch #8 
must be set to the "On" position. To deactivate the 
SPI communication, set DIP switch #8 to the "Off" 
position. 
 
If more than one piece of equipment is going to be 
on the same communications network, each unit 
must have a unique address. To change the unit 
address change one or more of the DIP switches to 
the "Off" position. The base address is 32 decimal. 
Changing these switches causes the following 
address change.

DIP Switch 4 OFF adds eight to base address
