Hi all
have this airedal HVAC that recently stoped working.
it has this display "no-link" on the display when switched on and nothing works from there
Any idea how i should go about this guys.
Which model is the unit and what type of controller is fitted?
Its airedale Easicool
The controller is branded airedale but i think its produced by another company(cant say though).
I attached picturesAttachment 14931Attachment 14932Attachment 14933
Sorry, can't find any useful manuals or info about the fault.
Can only suggest checking the wiring between the controller elements and any extra pcbs.
Just a wild guess, has the Fire Alarm link gone Open Circuit?
Hi harry
The controller looks like a Carel pCO if that's any help. Some manufacturers buy Carel controllers and program them to suit their needs, you may have to go back to Airdale to get another controller if it is faulty.
What does the display look like?

Hi Dear , If your unit is working fine and display is showing No LINK then bellow is to check the communicaiton between display and controller....
The address of the terminal can be set in the range between 0 and 32; addresses from 1 to 32 are used by the pLAN protocol, while address 0 identifies the Local terminal
protocol, used for point-to-point connections without graphics and to configure the pCO. The default address is 32. The address can only be set after having powered up the
terminal via the RJ12 connector. To access configuration mode, press the UP, DOWN and ENTER ( K, , ) buttons together for at least 5 seconds; the terminal will display a
screen similar to the one shown below, with the cursor flashing in the top left corner:
Display address
setting.........:32
I/O Board
To change the address of the terminal (“Display address setting”), proceed as follows.
Press the ENTER button once: the cursor will move to the “Display address setting” field.
Select the desired value using the UP and DOWN buttons, and confirm by pressing ENTER again.
If the value selected is different from the value previously saved, the following screen will be displayed and the new value will be saved to the permanent memory.
Display address
changed
If the address field is set to 0, the terminal communicates with the pCO board using the Local terminal protocol and the “I/O Board address” field is no longer shown,
as it has no meaning.
To change the list of terminals (private and shared) associated with a pCO board, proceed as follows:
- enter configuration mode (see above) by pressing the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons together for at least 5 seconds.
- press the ENTER button twice: the cursor will move to the “I/O Board address” field.
- select the address of the desired pCO board and confirm by pressing ENTER.
The pCO will then enter the configuration procedure, showing a screen similar to the one below.
Terminal config
Press ENTER
to continue
1) Press ENTER again: the configuration screen will be displayed, similar to the one below.
P:01 Adr
Priv/Shared
Trm1 32 Sh
Trm2 02 Pr
Trm3 -- --
Change the configuration of the terminals as required. The ENTER button is used to move the cursor from one field to another, while the UP and DOWN buttons
change the value of the current field. P:xx shows the address of the selected pCO board (in the example shown in the figure, this is board 1).
To exit the configuration procedure and save the data, select the “Ok?” field, set “Yes” and confirm by pressing ENTER.
During the configuration procedure, if the terminal remains inactive (no button is pressed) for more than 30 seconds, the pCO board automatically exits the procedure
without saving any changes.
Important: the pGD* terminals cannot be configured as “Sp” (shared with printer) as they do not have the printer output. Selecting this mode has no effect on the
management of the printed messages.
If during operation the terminal detects the inactivity of the pCO board whose output it is displaying, it cancels the display completely and then shows a message
similar to one below.
I/O board 01 fault
If the terminal detects the inactivity of the entire pLAN network, that is, it does not receive any message from the network for 10 consecutive seconds, it cancels the
display completely and shows the following message:
NO LINK
no it has no,they are 5 units linked with one as master(if the master gets fire alarm the rest shuts down with it),but this issue is only with this unit aloneQuote:

The alarm when cleard manually clears but still display the alarm in the parameters so the unit refused to start only the condenser fan runing.
am still stuck on this!!
Hi Dear
it is usually because of Air flow switches
i have attached a snap , you will see air flow switches in this snap
please change setting of this switched using blue knob or just by pass these switches by connecting both red wires showing in this picture
Attachment 14939
one more thing
some unit does not start while unit door is opened
if so , you need to close all doors tightly
You may have to go into the alarm log to reset airflow fail
ahhh!
The pco sends signal to the condenser fan which pics,.then to the blower(because i can see the fan symbol come up) which does not pick but when i operate it manually the blower works(picks),.the next to pick is suposed to be the contactor for the compresor instead what picks next is the contactor for heating(heating is not included in the unit) which.when the fan blows the "airflow failure alarm" clears. this shows the airflow switch is ok
am thinking the fan contactor is bad,i will replace it,.but if it works i intend to swap the signal wire that goes to the heating contacor to the compressor contactor(hope this is possible though).But the time delay for the compressor to pick will not be the same again if this work(this might put the compressor at risk).
Also,just learnt the unit sudenly opened while in operation due to vibration or so thats what caused the whole issue to start,....
please any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated,..this unit is just taking some lives out of my lifespan.
send for airedale as you seem to be digging yourself into a deeper hole
Does not means to discourage any one. I just wants to say that we all have our limits and these electronic controllers especially built for Precision Control units and Chillers are purposely built with some gadgets that a outsider can not make it easily. Also the required catalogues for information is not available and what is available is just the upper level information, this is manufactures monopoly. You do yours best to fix it but if find difficult do not fiddle much and call the manufacturer, may be it will cost you less if some thing more goes wrong.
