Fault Messages
Faults are abnormal operating condition states. Alarms are fault states that indicate normal operating conditions
have been exceeded but do not present an immediate hazard or potentially damaging condition. Alarms are
intended as a warning only and will not stop the compressor or prevent the compressor from being started and
run.
Start inhibits are fault states that prevent the compressor from initially being starting. Start inhibit faults are
conditions that may present a hazard or damaging situation if the compressor was to be started. A start inhibit will
self reset when the condition being monitored returns to normal operational levels. Start inhibit conditions are only
checked during the initial start procedure and will not stop the compressor once started and in the ‘started’ state.
Start inhibit conditions are not checked during an automated motor start from Standby.
Run inhibits are fault states that prevent the compressor from starting and running the main motor. Run inhibit
faults are conditions that may present a hazard or damaging situation if the main motor is run. A run inhibit will self
reset when the condition being monitored returns to normal operational levels and the compressor will then be
allowed to exit the standby condition and run without further manual intervention. Run inhibit conditions are
checked prior to a main motor start sequence and will not stop the compressor motor once started. Run inhibit
conditions do not prevent the compressor from entering the ‘started’ state condition.
Shutdown trip errors are fault states that present a hazardous or damaging condition, the compressor is stopped
immediately. The Shutdown trip error condition must be resolved, and the fault reset, before the compressor can
be re-started.
The different fault state conditions are indicated on the screen with specific codes; the last character indicating the
fault type: E = Shutdown Trip Error, A= Alarm, S = Start Inhibit, R = Run Inhibit. Shutdown trip errors are divided into
two different categories: immediate shutdown errors and controlled stop errors. Immediate shutdown errors stop
the compressor instantly (Emergency Stop button activated for example). Controlled stop errors stop the
compressor in a controlled way using a normal Stop command; the motor will continue to run for the set stop run-
on-time. Immediate shutdown errors have an error code where the first character is 0 (zero). Controlled stop faults
have a “1” as the first character. Alarm faults are also divided into two different categories: alarms and service
alarm messages. Alarms start with a “2”, service alarm messages with a “4”. Start Inhibit fault codes start with a
“3”.
