G. START-UP FAILURES: This is an alarm condition. A manual reset is required to clear.
PRIMARY MESSAGE SECONDARY MESSAGE ALARM MESSAGE/PRIMARY CAUSE ADDITIONAL CAUSE/REMEDY
FAILURE TO START LOW OIL PRESSURE OILPD [VALUE] exceeded limit of [LIMIT]*. Check
oil pump system.
Check for closed oil supply valves. Check oil filter.
Check for low oil temperature. Check transducer
accuracy.
FAILURE TO START OIL PRESS SENSOR FAULT OILPD [VALUE] exceeded limit of [LIMIT]*. Check
oil pressure sensor.
Check forexcessive refrigerant in oilsump. Run oil
pump manually for 5 minutes. Check calibration of
oilpressuredifferentialamplifiermodules.Checkwir-
ing. Replace transducers if necessary.
FAILURE TO START LOW CHILLED WATER FLOW EVFL Evap Flow Fault: Check water pump/flow
switch.
Check wiring to flow switch. Check through CON-
TROL TEST for proper switch operation.

switch.
Check wiring to flow switch. Check through CON-
TROL TEST for proper switch operation.

age supply.
Check voltage supply. Check transformers for sup-
ply.Checkwithutilityifvoltagesupplyiserratic.Moni-
tor must be installed to confirm consistent, single-
cycle dropouts. Check low oil pressure switch.
