Also, check all connection terminals and plugs for secure seating and tighten if needed.
What causes a heavy startup error on my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS Controller?
A heavy startup error on your Gardner Denver Controller indicates that the compression pressure is too high during the motor start-up phase. Check that the suction regulator is closed and seals properly.
What to do if the emergency stop is actuated on my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS Controller?
If the emergency stop has been activated on your Gardner Denver Controller, the first step is to unlock the emergency stop push-button. If the problem persists, check if the emergency stop pushbutton is defective and replace it if necessary. Also, inspect the cables and wiring for any damage and repair as needed.
How do I troubleshoot Fault VSD F008 on my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS Controller?
Fault VSD F008 on your Gardner Denver Controller indicates over temperature of the frequency converter. Check the cooling air inlet filter on the switch cabinet for contamination, and replace if needed. Ensure that the ventilation of the electrical switch cabinet and the frequency converter fans work properly. Check the inlet and outlet of the cooling air supply to the frequency converter for blockages and dirty cooling fins.
What should I do if my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS reports an issue with discharge temperature sensor R2?
If your Gardner Denver Controller reports an issue with discharge temperature sensor R2, it may be due to a defective compressor outlet temperature sensor, a general pressure or temperature sensor defect, or faulty sensor wiring. Check and replace the sensor wiring if necessary. Also, check the pressure sensor and/or temperature sensor and replace if necessary.
What causes Fault VSD F007 on a Gardner Denver Controller?
Fault VSD F007 on your Gardner Denver Controller indicates a motor overload of the frequency converter. Check the power supply, fuses (and replace if needed), and the main circuit protector (only for compressors with PowerFlex 400 converters). Also, check all connection terminals and plugs for secure seating and tighten if needed.
Why am I getting Fault VSD F003 or F004 on my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS Controller?
Fault VSD F003 or F004 on your Gardner Denver Controller indicates a low voltage of the frequency converter. Check the power supply, fuses (and replace if needed), and the main circuit protector (only for compressors with PowerFlex 400 converter). Also, check all connection terminals and plugs for secure seating and tighten if needed.
What does it mean when my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS Controller shows an error for discharge pressure sensor B2?
If your Gardner Denver Controller displays an error for discharge pressure sensor B2, it could mean the compressor final pressure sensor is defective, or the pressure/temperature sensor is defective, or the sensor wiring is defective. Check the sensor wiring and replace it if necessary. Also, check the pressure sensor and/or temperature sensor and replace if necessary.
What should I do if my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS displays an error with line pressure sensor B1?
If your Gardner Denver Controller indicates an error with line pressure sensor B1, it could be due to a defective line pressure sensor, a defective pressure or temperature sensor, or defective sensor wiring. Check the sensor wiring and replace if necessary. Also, check the pressure sensor and temperature sensor and replace if necessary.
What to do if my Gardner Denver GD PILOT TS Controller is showing a cooling error?
If your Gardner Denver Controller shows a cooling error on air-cooled systems, check the following: 1. Fan motor circuit breaker tripped: Check it. 2. Resistances too high in the supply / exhaust air channels: Check, and install additional fans if necessary. 3. Circuit breaker for the fan motor is set incorrectly: Set to 110% of the nominal fan current. 4. Fan motor is defective: Check, replace if necessary.
