Starter faults or optional protective devices within the starter
can shut down the machine. These devices are dependent on
what has been purchased as options.
If compressor motor overload or ground fault occurs,
check the motor for grounded or open phases before at-
tempting a restart.
If the controller initiates a safety shutdown, it displays the
fault on the LID with a primary and a secondary message,
and energizes an alarm relay in the starter and blinks the
alarm light on the control center. The alarm is stored in memory
and can be viewed in the PIC Alarm History table along with
a message for troubleshooting.
To give a better warning as to the operating condition of
the machine, the operator also can define alert limits on vari-
ous monitored inputs. Safety contact and alert limits are de-
fined in Table 3. Alarm and alert messages are listed in the
Troubleshooting Guide section, page 53.
SHUNT TRIP The optional shunt trip function of the PIC
is a safety trip. The shunt trip is wired from an output on the
SMM to the motor circuit breaker. If the PIC tries to shut
down the compressor through normal shutdown procedure
but is unsuccessful for 30 seconds, the shunt trip output is
energized and causes the circuit breaker to trip. If ground
fault protection has been applied to the starter, the ground
fault trip will also energize the shunt trip to trip the circuit
breaker.
