    McQuay manual



    I'm having some troubles with a McQuay "B"SE 125.2 and I'm hoping someone here can help with a iom manual and perhaps a flowchart of this machine. None is present at the machine.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Re: McQuay manual

    I was called out to the unit for an lp alarm. When I got there the unit wasn't running but the second one was. So asked the guy there to switch them over.

    When the unit started it ran for ap. 3 minutes and gave a high oil diff pressure alarm. Because it runs this short I can't get any good readings and don't know which transducer is what and which schräder is what pressure so I really need an iom!

    Re: McQuay manual

    Well, this is on the Mcquay site and they call it the IOM, but I think you have to guess some of it...

    Sanderh, Sounds like you've got a frame 2 screw with an oil injection mod. The oil diff usually operates because all the oil (about 20 litres) has been shipped over .You can wind down the diff pressure to zero to run the machine to bring the oil back as the oil injection was installed to increase the compressor life(they were originally designed without the oil injection)....paddy

    Re: McQuay manual

    Went back today and had the unit running again. Same error at first but got it running better but gave the lp alarm again, so i decided to reclaime the charge on the values I meassured, which indicated a low charge. I reclaimed 2/3 of the charge.

    First thing i noticed was that the gauges were at zero whilst the reclaim unit was at 1 bar and the pressure in the display stayed 2,5 bar! (transducer was cracked at the house and got water in it)

    Pressure tested it and found all valvestems were leaking at 5 bar, got them greased and tightend and leak free.

    Recharged the machine with what I got out and left it like that.

    So now all I'll have to do get the transducer and top it up!

    2 years old and already this many problems!?

    Re: McQuay manual

    if you go into parameters on the microtech you can adjust the sensors to your calibrated tools i.e. gauges, t'meter etc

    Re: McQuay manual

    if you've got a carel controller you SHOULD be able to adjust the sensor calibration, but I will have to go back into the IOM manual to find out how

    Any chance of the right iom in a pdf?


    Calibrating the sensor is ok if it's off a little, but this was due to water coming in a very small crack in the plastic cover, which I couldn't see until I took it off! Opend it up and the IC was oxidized! So it's gone!


    Thanx so far!

    Re: McQuay manual

    Well the iom I have doesn't state which transducer is what, and which solenoid valve is what! That's what I really need to know!

    Thanx!

    Re: McQuay manual

    Again IF you've got a microtech there is a service setting where you can test all the sensors and solenoids
