Maintenance contract
It is strongly recommended that you
sign a maintenance contract with
your local Service Agency. This
contract provides regular
maintenance of your installation by
a specialist in our equipment.
Regular maintenance ensures that
any malfunction is detected and
corrected in good time and
minimizes the possibility that
serious damage will occur. Finally,
regular maintenance ensures the
maximum operating life of your
equipment. We would remind you
that failure to respect these
installation and maintenance
instructions may result in
immediate cancellation of the
warranty.

This mode will occur if the leaving evaporator water temperature exceeds 75F (for SW version 6.30
and earlier) or 90 F (for software 7.01 and later) at the point at which the step load for the respective

will not inhibit other compressors from staging on. This mode is necessary to prevent nuisance trips
due to Compressor Overcurrent or High Pressure Cutout. Reasonable pulldown rates can still be
expected despite this limit, since the compressor's capacity even at partial load is much greater at
high suction temperatures.

replace the MP.
A Valid Configuration is A valid configuration is present in the MP's nonvolatile memory. The configuration is a set of variables and settings that

// This condition might occur due to a severe electro-magnetic transient such as can be caused by a near lightening
strike. Such events should be rare or isolated and if no damage results to the CH530 control system, the Chiller will
experience a shutdown and restart. If this occurs more persistently it may be due to an MP hardware problem. Try
replacing the MP. If replacement of the MP proves ineffective, the problem may be a result of extremely high radiated
or conducted EMI. Contact Technical Service.
If this screen occurs immediately after a software download, attempt to reload both the configuration and the
application. Failing this, contact Technical Service.

Err8: Held in Boot by User The boot detected a key press in the center of the DynaView or both the + and - keys pressed on an EasyView while the
Key Press MP was in the boot code. Upon seeing this message the user can use Techview to connect to the MP to perform a
software download or another service tool function.
Converter Mode A command was received from the Service Tool (Tech View) to stop the running application and run in the "converter
mode". In this mode the MP acts as a simple gateway and allows the TechView service computer to talk to all the LLIDS
on the IPC3 bus.
Programming Mode A command was received by the MP from the Tech View Service Tool and the MP is in the process of first erasing and
then writing the program code to its internal Flash (nonvolatile) Memory. Note that if the MP never had a prior
application already in memory, the error code "Err3"will be displayed instead of this, during the programming download
process.
