“ Turbine – Shaft End Horizontal Vibration Out 
Of Range”
The input signal from the Turbine Shaft End Horizon-
tal Vibration Transmitter is more than 0.5 mA below 
the calibrated minimum input signal, which generally 
indicates a defective transmitter, probe or cable. The 
chiller can only be started after the transmitter input is 
within the calibrated range and the START/STOP con-
trol switch is placed in the STOP-RESET (O) position. 
An input signal above 5 Mils would also 
indicate a defective transmitter or prox-
imity probe but will generate a normal 
safety shutdown message since this value 
exceeds the safety setpoint.
“ Turbine – Shaft End Vertical Vibration Out Of 
Range”
The input signal from the Turbine Shaft End Vertical 
Vibration Transmitter is more than 0.5 mA below the 
calibrated minimum input signal. This is outside the 
normal operating range and generally indicates a de-
fective transmitter, probe or cable. The chiller can only 
be started after the transmitter input is within the cali-
brated range and the START/STOP control switch is 
placed in the STOP-RESET (O) position.
“ Turbine – Governor End Horizontal Vibration 
Out Of Range”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End Hori-
zontal Vibration Transmitter is more than 0.5 mA below 
the calibrated minimum input signal, which generally 
indicates a defective transmitter, probe or cable. The 
chiller can only be started after the transmitter input is 
within the calibrated range and the START/STOP con-
trol switch is placed in the STOP-RESET (O) position.
“Turbine – Governor End Vertical Vibration 
Out Of Range”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End Verti-
cal Vibration Transmitter is more than 0.5 mA below 
the calibrated minimum input signal, which generally 
indicates a defective transmitter, probe or cable. The 
chiller can only be started after the transmitter input is 
within the calibrated range and the START/STOP con-
trol switch is placed in the STOP-RESET (O) position.
 “Turbine - Shaft End Horizontal Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Shaft End Horizon-
tal Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP2-Turbine 
Vibration Shutdown setpoint shown on the Alarm/
Shutdown Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed 
during shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. 
The START/STOP control switch must be placed in the 
STOP-RESET (O) position before starting the chiller.
“ Turbine - Shaft End Vertical Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End Hori-
zontal Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP2-Tur-
bine Vibration Shutdown setpoint shown on the Alarm/
Shutdown Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed 
during shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. 
The START/STOP control switch must be placed in the 
STOP-RESET (O) position before starting the chiller.
“ Turbine - Governor End Horizontal 
Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End Hori-
zontal Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP2-Tur-
bine Vibration Shutdown setpoint shown on the Alarm/
Shutdown Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed 
during shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. 
The START/STOP control switch must be placed in the 
STOP-RESET (O) position before starting the chiller.
“ Turbine - Governor End Vertical Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End Verti-
cal Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP2-Turbine 
Vibration Shutdown setpoint shown on the Alarm/
Shutdown Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed 
during shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. 
The START/STOP control switch must be placed in the 
STOP-RESET (O) position before starting the chiller.
COMPRESSOR EXCESSIVE VIBRATION 
SHUTDOWN MESSAGES
Since proximity probes cannot be fitted on a single 
stage compressor due to internal space limitations, cas-
ing mounted accelerometers are occasionally used as 
the only alternative. However, the shutdown setpoint 
and delay may need to be set high enough to prevent 
nuisance shutdowns due to stall or surge conditions. 
Mechanical vibration problems should remain fairly 
steady at a high level; aerodynamic problems will ap-
pear and disappear. Therefore, it is recommended that 
the normal operating vibration levels be recorded and 
the vibration levels be monitored to provide an indica-
tion of developing mechanical problems.
When MSSP18-Compressor Vibration Sensors is set 
for Enabled on Configuration Screen 1, the compres-
sor must be fitted with two accelerometers on the ro-
