S Y S 1 L O W S U C T P R E S S S Y S 2 L O W S U C T P R E S SSuction Pressure Cutout — a software cutout that helps protect the chiller from an evaporator freeze-up should the system attempt to run with a low refrigerant charge or a restriction in the refrigerant circuit.Suction pressure falls below the ramped cutout point. At system start the cutout is set to 10% of the programmed value and ramps up to the programmed cutout point over the next 3 minutes; the cutout is completely ignored for the first 30 seconds of system run time. After the first 3 minutes, if the suction pressure falls below the programmed cutout setting, a "transient protection routine" is activated: the cutout is set at 10% of the programmed value and ramps up over the next 30 seconds; if at any time during this 30 seconds the suction pressure falls below the ramped cutout, the system stops.System stops. Auto reset fault — the system is allowed to restart automatically after the fault condition is no longer present; however, if 3 faults on the same system occur within 90 minutes, that system is locked out on the last fault (manual reset: the system switch under the OPTIONS key must be turned off and then back on). Manual warning: repeated starts after resetting a low suction pressure fault will cause evaporator freeze-up; whenever a system locks out on this safety or any safety, immediate steps should be taken to identify the cause.129
S Y S 1 M P / H P C O F A U L T S Y S 2 M P / H P C O F A U L TMotor Protector/Mechanical High Pressure Cutout — protects the compressor motor from overheating or the system from experiencing dangerously high discharge pressure.Fault condition is present when CR1 (SYS 1) or CR2 (SYS 2) relays de-energize due to the HP switch or motor protector opening. The internal motor protector opens at 185°F – 248°F (85°C – 120°C) and auto resets; the mechanical HP switch opens at 585 PSIG plus or minus 10 PSIG (27.92 barg plus or minus .69 barg) and closes at 330 PSIG plus or minus 25 PSIG (22.75 barg plus or minus 1.72 barg). The compressor discharge temperature sensor also opens the motor protector circuit when it senses high internal scroll temperature (overheating due to inadequate cooling that may occur when refrigerant charge is low or superheat is too high). This message is displayed only after 3 shutdowns in 90 minutes, indicating the system is locked out and will not restart.Whenever the motor protector or discharge sensor shuts down a compressor and the system, the internal compressor contacts open for a period of 30 minutes to assure that the motor or scroll temperatures have time to dissipate the heat and cool down; compressors will not be permitted to start during this period. The fault condition is cleared when a 30 VDC signal is restored to the input. After the third fault in 90 minutes the system is locked out — manual reset: the system switch under the OPTIONS key must be turned off and then back on.129
S Y S 1 M P / H P C O I N H I B S Y S 2 M P / H P C O I N H I BMotor Protector / High Pressure Cutout inhibit — displayed during the 30 minute timeout after a motor protector or discharge sensor shutdown, or when the HPCO is open.The motor protector or discharge temperature sensor shut down a compressor and the system; the internal compressor contacts open for 30 minutes to assure that the motor or scroll temperatures have time to dissipate the heat and cool down, or the HPCO is open. During the first two faults this message is displayed and the system is not locked out.While this message is displayed the compressors will not be permitted to start. After 30 minutes the contacts close and the system will be permitted to restart. Only after the third fault in 90 minutes will the MP/HPCO FAULT message be displayed (system locked out).129

Auto reset fault — the system will be allowed to restart when the discharge pressure falls 40 PSIG below the cutout. However, if 3 faults on the same system occur within 90 minutes, that system is locked out on the last fault (manual reset: the system switch under the OPTIONS key must be turned off and then back on).129

Motor Protector / Mechanical High Pressure Cutout fault. Protects the compressor motor from overheating or the system from experiencing dangerously high discharge pressure. Displayed only after the third shutdown in 90 minutes — the system is locked out and will not restart.CR1 (SYS 1) or CR2 (SYS 2) relays de-energize due to the HP switch or motor protector opening, causing 0VDC to be read on the inputs to the microboard. The internal motor protector opens at 185 °F to 248 °F (85 °C to 120 °C) and auto resets; the mechanical HP switch opens at 585 PSIG plus or minus 10 PSIG and closes at 330 PSIG plus or minus 25 PSIG. The compressor discharge temperature sensor also opens the motor protector circuit when it senses high internal scroll temperature (inadequate cooling — refrigerant charge low, or superheat too high). Troubleshooting causes: compressor internal motor protector (MP) open; external overload tripped; HPCO switch open; defective HPCO switch; defective CR relay.Fault condition is cleared when a 30VDC signal is restored to the input. During the first two faults an MP/HP INHIBIT message is displayed and the system is not locked out; only after the third fault in 90 minutes is the MP/HPCO FAULT message displayed, indicating the system is locked out and will not restart. Internal compressor contacts open for 30 minutes so motor or scroll temperatures can dissipate heat; after 30 minutes the contacts close and the system is permitted to restart. Solutions: verify refrigerant charge is not low; verify superheat setting of 10 °F to 15 °F; verify correct compressor rotation; verify compressor is not overloaded; determine cause and reset external overload; see High Press.

Motor Protector/Mechanical High Pressure Cutout — protects the compressor motor from overheating or the system from experiencing dangerously high discharge pressure. The fault condition is present when CR1 (SYS 1) or CR2 (SYS 2) relays de-energize due to the HP switch or motor protector opening, causing 0 VDC to be read on the inputs to the microboard; the fault condition is cleared when a 30 VDC signal is restored to the input. The internal motor protector opens at 185°F to 248°F (85°C to 120°C) and auto resets; the mechanical HP switch opens at 585 PSIG plus or minus 10 psig (27.92 barg plus or minus .69 barg) and closes at 330 psig plus or minus 25 psig (22.75 barg plus or minus 1.72 barg).Inadequate cooling of the scrolls — refrigerant charge low, or superheat too high (compressor discharge temperature sensor); compressor motor overheating; dangerously high discharge pressure.During the first two faults an MP/HP INHIBIT message is displayed and the system is not locked out; only after the third fault in 90 min is the MP/HPCO FAULT message displayed, indicating the system is locked out and will not restart. Whenever the motor protector or discharge sensor shuts down a compressor and the system, the internal compressor contacts open for a period of 30 min so the motor or scroll temperatures can dissipate heat and cool down; after 30 min the contacts close and the system is permitted to restart. Clear a lockout by turning the system switch OFF and then back ON (under OPTIONS key).168
SYS 1 MP/HPCO INHIB
SYS 2 MP/HPCO INHIB
Motor Protector/High Pressure Inhibit — displayed while the internal compressor contacts are open (30-minute timeout) or when the HPCO is open, after the motor protector or discharge temperature sensor has shut down a compressor and the system.While this message is displayed, the compressors will not be permitted to start. After 30 min, the contacts will close and the system will be permitted to restart.168
SYS 1 HIGH MTR CURR
SYS 2 HIGH MTR CURR
With the System Current Feedback option installed and selected (Current Feedback option under the OPTIONS key): if the actual feedback voltage of the system, proportional to currents, exceeds the programmed trip voltage for 5 seconds, the system will shut down.Auto reset: the system restarts automatically after the fault condition is no longer present; if 3 faults on the same system occur within 90 minutes, the system locks out on the last fault — turn the system switch OFF and then back ON to clear the lockout fault.118
Sensor Failure (EEV)This safety shuts down a system if either suction temperature or suction pressure sensors read out of range high or low. The condition must be present for 3 s to cause a system shutdown.Suction temperature or suction pressure sensor reading out of range high or low.The safety locks out a system after the first fault and will not allow automatic restarting (1X — locks out on the first fault).112

Unit Safeties

Code / displayMeaningCauseActionPage
UNIT FAULT:
LOW AMBIENT TEMP
The Low Ambient Temp Cutout is a safety shutdown designed to protect the chiller from operating in a low ambient condition. Unit safeties are faults that cause all running compressors to be shut down.Outdoor ambient temperature falls below the programmable cutout.The chiller shuts down. Restart can occur when temperature rises 2°F above the cutoff. Unit faults are auto reset faults: the unit is allowed to restart automatically after the fault condition is no longer present.112
UNIT FAULT:
LOW LIQUID TEMP
The Low Leaving Chilled Liquid Temp Cutout protects the chiller from an evaporator freeze-up should the chilled liquid temperature drop below the freeze point. Unit safeties are faults that cause all running compressors to be shut down.Could occur under low flow conditions or if the micro panel set point values are improperly programmed.Anytime the leaving chilled liquid temperature (water or glycol) drops below the cutout point, the chiller shuts down. Restart can occur when chilled liquid temperature rises 2°F above the cutout. Auto reset.112
UNIT FAULT:
115VAC UNDERVOLTAGE
The Under Voltage Safety ensures that the system is not operated at voltages where malfunction of the microprocessor could result in system damage.115 V AC to the micro panel drops below a certain level.A unit fault is initiated to safely shut down the unit. Restart is allowed after the unit is fully powered again and the anti-recycle timers have finished counting down. Auto reset.110
UNIT FAULT:
HIGH MTR CURR
With the CURRENT FEEDBACK ONE PER UNIT option selected under the OPTIONS key, the unit shuts down when the voltage exceeds the programmed trip voltage for 5 seconds. The trip voltage is programmed at the factory according to compressor or unit RLA.Current feedback voltage exceeds the programmed trip voltage for 5 seconds.Restart will occur after the anti-recycle timer times out. Auto reset.112
FLOW SWITCH
OPEN
Indicates the flow switch contacts connected to Terminals 13 and 14 of XTBC1 are open.A 3-second delay is built into software to prevent nuisance shutdowns due to erroneous signals from the flow switch. Listed as Unit Fault code 31 (auto reset) in the YLAA Fault and Inhibit Codes.107

Unit Warning

!! LOW BATTERY !!
CHECK PROG/SETP/OPTN
Unit warning — not a unit safety, not logged to the history buffer, and will not auto-restart; operator intervention is required to allow a restart. Can only occur at unit power-up: on micro panel power-up the RTC battery is checked, and if a low battery is found, all programmed set points, program values, options, time, schedule, and history buffers are lost and reset to their default values, which may not be the desired operating values.Faulty RTC battery detected at power-up.The unit is prevented from running until the PROGRAM key is pressed; pressing PROGRAM sets the anti-recycle timers to the programmed anti-recycle time to allow the operator time to check set points and, if necessary, reprogram programmable values and options. Replace the battery as soon as possible — RTC/battery (031-02565-000), located at U5 on the microboard; the unit will be prevented from running on the next power interruption.113

The internal motor protector opens at 185°F to 248°F (85°C to 120°C); the mechanical HP switch opens at 585 psig plus or minus 10 psig and closes at 330 psig plus or minus 25 psig. The compressor discharge temperature sensor also opens the motor protector circuit when it senses high internal scroll temperature (e.g., low refrigerant charge or superheat too high). Message displayed only after the third fault in 90 minutes.System is locked out and will not restart; the fault condition is cleared when a 30 VDC signal is restored to the input. During the first two faults the MP/HP INHIBIT message is displayed and the system is not locked out. Whenever the motor protector or discharge sensor shuts down a compressor, the internal compressor contacts open for 30 minutes so motor/scroll temperatures can dissipate before the system is permitted to restart.188
SYS 1 HIGH MTR CURR
SYS 2 HIGH MTR CURR
System Fault Code 17 – System High Motor Current (System Current Feedback option)Condition present when CR1 (SYS 1) or CR2 (SYS 2) opens, causing 0 V to be read on the input (motor protector faulted or mechanical high pressure cutout open); only occurs when a system is not running.Condition cleared and the system allowed to start when a 30 V signal is restored to the input by CR1 or CR2 closing. 3x per Table 15.150
SYS 1 LOW SUPERHEAT
SYS 2 LOW SUPERHEAT
System Fault Code 23 – Low Suction Superheat cutout (EEV mode only); also displayed as “SYS x LOW SUCT SHE AT”Protects the compressors from liquid flowing back due to low suction superheat. Triggered when the suction superheat is lower than 2.0°F for 3 seconds, or when the LLSV is closed 10 times in 2 minutes due to low superheat. Ignored for the first 15 seconds of system run time; trips after the programmed trip time has passed.Fault resets if the superheat rises above 2°F; lockout after three shutdowns in 90 minutes. 3x per Table 15.145
SYS 1 SENSOR FAILURE
SYS 2 SENSOR FAILURE
System Fault Code 24 – Sensor Failure cutout (EEV mode only)Prevents the EEV from running when the sensors measuring superheat are not functioning properly; shuts the system down if either the suction temperature or suction pressure sensors read out of range high or low for 3 seconds. Ignored for the first 15 seconds of system run time.Locks out on the first fault; will not automatically restart. 1x per Table 15.145
LOW EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (R407c ONLY – N/A HP HEATING MODE)System Fault Code 19 – Low Evaporator Temperature (R407c only; not applicable in heat pump heating mode)3x: automatically restarts on the first and second fault with a lockout on the third fault in 90 minutes.144

SYS 1 MP/HPCO INHIB
SYS 2 MP/HPCO INHIB
System Inhibit Code 26 – Motor Protector / High Pressure Cutout InhibitPrevents the system from trying to start when a motor protector is faulted or the mechanical high pressure cutout is open; condition present when CR1 (SYS 1) or CR2 (SYS 2) opens, causing 0 VDC to be read on the input. Only occurs when a system is not running; also displayed during the 30-minute timeout after a motor protector/discharge-sensor shutdown while the internal compressor contacts are open or the HPCO is open.Compressors will not be permitted to start while displayed; condition cleared and restart allowed when a 30 VDC signal is restored to the input by CR1 or CR2 closing (contacts close after the 30-minute timeout). Auto per Table 15.188
SYS 1 ATV SUCT PRESS
SYS 2 ATV SUCT PRESS
System Inhibit Code 30 – Anti-Vacuum Low Pressure CutoutIf the system is running, it shuts down when the suction pressure falls below the anti-vacuum low pressure cutout for longer than the programmed Anti-Vacuum Delay Time; if the system is not running, it is inhibited from starting while the suction pressure is below the anti-vacuum low pressure cutout.Standard system fault: lockout after 3 occurrences in 90 minutes; the fault cannot be reset until the fault condition is resolved. 3x per Table 15.143
LEAVING CHILLED LIQUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAULTSystem Inhibit Code 32 – Leaving Chilled Liquid Temperature Sensor Fault3x: automatically restarts on the first and second fault with a lockout on the third fault in 90 minutes.144
SYS 1 LOW DS CH SHE AT
SYS 2 LOW DS CH SHE AT
System Inhibit Code 33 – Low Discharge SuperheatSystem Discharge Superheat drops below 18°F; trips after 5 minutes have passed. Only active when Discharge Temperature Sensors are enabled.Fault resets if the superheat rises above 18°F; will lockout after three shutdowns in 90 minutes. Listed as Auto in Table 15 (allows restart once meeting the required conditions).145

ABB AYK550 VFD Drive Not Responding Fault

Code / displayMeaningCauseActionPage
Drive not responding Fault appearing on the screen for the ABB AYK550 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) installed on Air-Cooled Chillers (YLAA, YVAA, YVFA). This fault may be due to the heatsink fan being jammed or failure within the VFD. If the drive still shows the fault after the heatsink fan check, the drive has other damage and must be replaced. Prior to condemning the VFD, confirm the heatsink fan has not failed. The heatsink fan is located on the back side of the VFD enclosure behind the rain hood assembly. Make sure unit is deenergized and locked out prior to performing steps following JCI procedures for working on electrical equipment. Loosen and remove the six screws holding the rain hood in place (retain screws and foam seal for reassembly) and remove the rain hood assembly. At the top of the VFD, pull the lever on the plastic fan grill guard so the grill guard and fan rotate and lift out of the VFD (do not remove too far, as the wire is attached inside the VFD). Follow the fan wire and disconnect it where it connects into the VFD. Energize the unit and follow procedures within the chiller controls panel to power the VFD. If the drive powers up normally, showing voltage, amperage, and Hz on the screen, then the fan has failed and requires replacement — do not continue to run the VFD with the cooling fan disconnected as the VFD will overheat and fault. Review the nameplate label on the side of the ABB VFD for part number and voltage to determine the correct replacement fan: 026-52721-000 for R1 & R2 575V frame VFD, 026-52722-000 for R2 & R3 frame VFD, or 026-52723-000 for R4 frame VFD. Remove the faulty cooling fan from the fan grill guard (do not damage retaining clips), connect wiring to the new cooling fan, install grill guard with fan into the VFD, and install the rain hood with the six previously removed screws, verifying the foam seal is in good condition and properly compressed. If the drive still shows the "Drive not responding" fault, the drive has other damage and must be replaced. 1
