Fail Safe Operation
In the case of sensor error, the EEV controller will go into an emergency mode (“safe mode”). where the valve
opening degree is dened by desired OD scheme as described below
User can read the failure status via [U118 Operation status].
EKE 1x implements two Failsafe mode:
• SH control Failsafe mode
• Thermostat Failsafe mode
Table 37: SH control Failsafe mode
SH control Failsafe mode:
SH control needs Pe and S2 signal. so, if one of these
signal fails, SH control based on the actual superheat
is not possible.
User can via parameter [
N143] SH control sensor error action, under control advanced. congure the relevant
option
valve forced closed and SH control (default)
valve at xed position (Fail safe OD), this keeps the refrigeration unit running
(calculated as an average of the last hour) to set a reduced OD which will be xed dur-
ing error period. This keeps the refrigeration unit running
