28.0 Troubleshooting Air Cooled Packaged Modules

ASPX modules use the Carel PCO3 master control.  The user manual for the PCO3 controller is located in section 6 of the submittal package.  The user manual 
details the different status screens and explanations of system or module faults. The following guide is for troubleshooting ASPX modules and the PC03.

 FAULT 

SOLUTION

 

No Display on Master Module 

Check main disconnect for power

 

 

Check circuit breakers in module

 

 

Check transformer in modules

 

 

Check for 24V at J1 on board

 

EX 1,2, Interlock 

Check appropriate interlock component

 

 

Check jumpers on TS2 in master module

 

EX 4 Interlock 

Check for proper rotation, phasing

 

 

Check PPM device

 

Waiting For Chilled Water Flow 

Check CHW pump

 

 

Check flow switch operation

 

 

Check filter strainers

 

 

Check TS2 inputs #3 - #5

 

Low Chilled Water Temp 

Check LCHW sensor

 

 

Check setpoints in system variables

 

 

Check for flow restriction

 

No Demand 

Check entering ECHW sensor

 

 

Check setpoints in system variables

 

 

Check sensor location

 

100% Demand all the time 

Check entering CHW sensors

 

 

Check setpoints in system variables

 

100% Demand, won’t load 

Command On at master Control

  

Check 

sensors

 

 

Check load limit setting in system variables

 

Excessive Cycling 

Check VSP setting is system variables

 

 

Check entering CHW sensor location

 

High Discharge Pressure (HP) 

Check fan operation

 

 

Check coil condition

 

 

Check fan settings in system variables

 

Low Suction Pressure (LP) 

Check refrigerant charge / leaks

 

 

Check expansion valve

 

Low Suction Temperature 

Check suction sensor

 

 

Check setpoints in system variables

 

 

Check for flow restriction

 

Communication Error 

Check settings in system variables

 

 

Check cables at J11 comm ports

 

 

Check dip switch settings 

 

Circuit Fault 

Check components in control circuit

 

 

Check wire crimps in control circuit

 

P Lan Error 

Check the communication circuit (J11) for loose connections

 

 

Check for possible airwave interference
