On the display
The control center shows UNIT WARNING QUARTERLY SERVICE REQUIRED - CONTACT JCI on the unit display. The manuals print this wording in one form only, with no variants. The manual pairs the message with the note that warnings are not logged in the history buffer.
What it means
This is the quarterly service reminder for the unit, not a protective trip. Its shutdown type is None, so the chiller keeps operating while the message is on the display. The text asks that the quarterly service be carried out and that JCI be contacted in that connection. Because the event type is a Manual Reset Warning, the message remains until it is acknowledged and the service counter is returned to zero; it does not clear by itself.
Why it appears
- Days since the last service exceed 90 days — the controller keeps a day count since the last service and raises this unit warning once that count passes the limit.
What to check
- Carry out the quarterly service the message calls for.
- When the service is complete, clear the warning and set the days counter back to zero, following the acknowledgment procedure below.
Setpoints and thresholds
- Reminder threshold: the warning appears when days since the last service exceed 90 days.
- Warning Code: 1.
- Event Type: Manual Reset Warning — the message stays until it is acknowledged.
- Shutdown Type: None — the unit is not stopped.
- Enable: Always — the reminder function is active at all times.
Reset and restart
The warning is a Manual Reset Warning and is cleared after the service has been carried out: the manual directs you to set the days to zero after clearing the warning once the quarterly service is complete. The acknowledgment itself is done in Maintenance Mode — Acknowledge in Maintenance Mode (press the Service Key, enter password 0726, press Enter) to set the counter back to zero days.
With the counter back at zero days, the reminder stays off until the days since the last service again exceed 90.
