Emergency stop device off.
Check if control panel emergency stop switch
and any remote emergency stop devices are in
the OFF position. Turn to ON position (1) if safe
to do so.
Under voltage relay tripped. Check mains supply.
No supply to - T2. Check emergency stop switch fuses.
No 24VAC supply to powerboard. Check wiring from - T2 to powerboard and fuse.
No +12V output from powerboard.
Replace powerboard or isolate excessive load on
the board.
NO RUN PERM displayed
No liquid flow through the cooler.
Ensure that liquid pumps are running. Valves are
(No run permissive) correctly set and flow is established.
Flow switch contacts are not made.
Check that the flow switch is functional and is
installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: On some systems the pump starter may be wired
to the unit and controlled to start by
the unit.
