SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Alarm Faults
Alarm Faults
Low Suction Pressure Fault
Low Suction Pressure will be ignored for the rst minute of
initial compressor operation. If Suction Pressure is below 95
psig for one minute, the compressor will be turned o and will
be retried after ve minutes.
Compressor 2 Low Suction Pressure Fault
Low Suction Pressure will be ignored for the rst minute of initial
compressor operation. For tandem circuits, if both compressors
are running and Suction Pressure is below 95 psig for one minute,
the second compressor will be turned o and will be retried after
ve minutes.
Unsafe Suction Pressure Fault
Unsafe Suction Pressure Detection will be ignored for the rst 30
seconds of initial compressor operation. If the Suction Pressure
drops below 50 psig for ve seconds, the compressor(s) will be
turned o and will be retried after ve minutes.
High Discharge Pressure Fault
On a single compressor circuit, if the Discharge Pressure rises
above 600 psig, the compressor will be turned o and will be
retried after ve minutes. The compressor will not be reactivated
until the pressure rises above 475 psig.
Compressor 2 High Discharge Pressure Fault
On a tandem compressor circuit, if the Discharge Pressure rises
above 575 psig and both compressors are running, the second
compressor will be turned o and will be retried after ve
minutes.
Compressor 1 Not Running Fault
If Compressor 1 has been activated for at least 45 seconds and
the running verication signal is not active, the compressor
signal will be turned o and will be retried after ve minutes.
For Danfoss VFD compressors, the running verication is sent
from Modbus Communications. For xed On/O compressors,
the running verication is a binary input signal to the module.
Compressor 2 Not Running Fault
If Compressor 2 has been activated for at least 45 seconds and
the running verication signal is not active, the compressor signal
will be turned o and will be retried after ve minutes. For xed
On/O compressors, the running verication is a binary input
signal to the module.
Low Superheat Fault
The low superheat detection will be ignored for the rst two
minutes of initial compressor operation. If the superheat drops
below 4ºF for two minutes, the compressor signal will be turned
o and will be retried after ve minutes.
High Discharge Line Temperature
This sensor is installed for modulating VFD compressors
only. If the Discharge Line Temperature rises above 260ºF, the
VFD compressor will modulate down 1% per second until the
Discharge Line Temperature drops below 260ºF.
If the compressor modulates down to 1800 rpm, the compressor
will be turned o and will be retried if the Discharge Line
Temperature drops below 150ºF and ve minutes has lapsed.
DMQ EXV Sensor Not Detected Fault
If the DMQ EXV Superheat Controller is not detected through
Modbus communications for one minute, the compressor(s) will
be turned o. This fault will be cleared when communication
is reestablished.
Communications Loss Fault
If E-BUS communications are lost for at least 15 seconds, the
compressor(s) will be turned o. If the module is controlling a
Danfoss VFD compressor and the Modbus communication to
the Danfoss VFD compressor is lost for at least 15 seconds, the
compressor will be turned o. This fault will be cleared when
communication is reestablished.
High Superheat Fault
If a compressor is active and the superheat is above 30ºF for 10
minutes or longer, the compressor(s) will be turned o and will
be retried after ve minutes.
High Evaporator Saturation Temperature
Fault
On a tandem circuit, both compressors have to be running to
trigger a fault. A modulating VFD compressor has to be at 100%
to trigger a fault. If the Evaporator Saturation Temperature
rises above 59ºF for the stage up delay plus two minutes, the
compressor will be turned o and will be retried after ve
minutes.
