COMPRESSOR FAILURE ALERTS
A048 (Circuit A Compressor Availability Alarm)
— This
alarm occurs when two compressors are unavailable to run on
a 3 compressor circuit. The control ensures proper oil return by
ensuring a circuit does not operate with one compressor for
longer than one hour of cumulative run time.
T051, T052, T053 (Circuit A Compresser Failures)
— Alert
codes 051, 052, and 053 are for compressors A1, A2, and A3
respectively. These alerts occur when the current sensor (CS)
does not detect compressor current during compressor opera-
tion. When this occurs, the control turns off the compressor.
If the current sensor board reads OFF while the compressor
relay has been commanded ON, an alert is generated.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Compressor Overload
— Either the compressor internal over-
load protector is open or the external overload protector (Kri-
wan module) has activated. The external overload protector
modules are mounted in the compressor wiring junction box.
Temperature sensors embedded in the compressor motor wind-
ings are the inputs to the module. The module is powered with
24 vac from the units main control box. The module output is a
normally closed contact that is wired in series with the com-
pressor contactor coil. In a compressor motor overload condi-
tion, contact opens, deenergizing the compressor contactor.
Low Refrigerant Charge
— If the compressor operates for an
extended period of time with low refrigerant charge, the com-
pressor ASTP device will open, which will cause the compres-
sor to trip on its overload protection device.
Circuit Breaker Trip
— The compressors are protected from
short circuit by a breaker in the control box.
Wiring Error
— A wiring error might not allow the compres-
sor to start.
To check out alerts T051-T053:
1. Turn on the compressor in question using Service Test
mode. If the compressor does not start, then most likely
the problem is one of the following: HPS open, open in-
ternal protection, circuit breaker trip, incorrect safety wir-
ing, or incorrect compressor wiring.
2. If the compressor does start, verify it is rotating in the cor-
rect direction.
COMPRESSOR STUCK ON FAILURE ALARMS
Circuit A A051, A052, A053
— Alarm codes 051, 052, and
053 are for compressors A1, A2, and A3. These alarms occur
when the CSB detects current when the compressor should be
off. When this occurs, the control turns off the compressor.
If the current sensor board reads ON while the compressor
relay has been commanded OFF for a period of 4 continuous
seconds, an alarm is generated. These alarms are only moni-
tored for a period of 10 seconds after the compressor relay has

IMPORTANT: Prolonged operation in the wrong direction
can damage the compressor. Correct rotation can be veri-
fied by a gage set and looking for a differential pressure
rise on start-up.
IMPORTANT: If the CS is always detecting current, verify
that the compressor is on. If the compressor is on, check
the contactor and the relay on the MBB. If the compressor
is off and there is no current, verify the CSB wiring and
replace if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Return to Normal mode and observe com-
pressor operation to verify that compressor current sensor
is working.
