Protective
Limit

High Discharge
Temp

CMPD [VALUE] exceeded
limit of [LIMIT]*. Check dis-
charge temperature.

Check discharge temperature immedi-
ately. Check sensor for accuracy; check
for proper condenser flow and tempera-
ture; check oil reservoir temperature.
Check condenser for fouled tubes or air in
machine. Check for proper guide vane
actuator operation.

Protective
Limit

Low Refrigerant
Temp

ERT [VALUE] exceeded
limit of [LIMIT]*. Check
evap pump and flow switch.

Check for proper amount of refrigerant
charge; check for proper water flow and
temperatures. Check for proper guide
vane actuator operation.

Protective
Limit

High Motor Temper-
ature

MTRW [VALUE] exceeded
limit of [LIMIT]*. Check
motor cooling and solenoid.

Check motor temperature immediately.
Check sensor for accuracy. Check for
proper condenser flow and temperature.
Check motor cooling system for restric-
tions. Check motor cooling solenoid for
proper operation. Check refrigerant filter.

Protective
Limit

High Bearing Tem-
perature

MTRB [VALUE] exceeded
limit of [LIMIT]*. Check oil
cooling control.

Check for throttled oil supply isolation
valves. Valves should be wide open.
Check oil cooler thermal expansion valve.
Check sensor accuracy. Check journal
and thrust bearings. Check refrigerant fil-
ter. Check for excessive oil sump level.

Protective
Limit

Low Oil Pressure

OILPD [VALUE] exceeded
limit of [LIMIT]*. Check oil
pump and transducer.

Check power to oil pump and oil level.
Check for dirty filters or oil foaming at
start-up. Check for thermal overload cut-
out. Reduce ramp load rate if foaming
noted.
Note: This is not related to pressure
switch problems.

Excessive numbers of the same fault can lead to severe machine damage. Seek service expertise.
