Hi, unit is 3-4 yrs old. Running as heat pump. Last year we noticed controller (PCO2 carel) froze up and got very slow and non responsive when pressing buttons. We found out if we stopped compressor 3, the display was normal. We tried numerous solutions. Swapped boards, EEV drivers, reload software etc. etc. Still the same. We have been asked by McQuay (we dont deal mcquay anymore but i still have some connections in there) to try this:
- Try to replace the display and telephone cable between display and master board
- If not working, install again the software on all 3 controllers
- If still not working, check the p.lan cables and dipswitches address

These checks should be enough to identify the fault.
We are about to go there and try this this or next week, but i'm not sure it's gonna help.
Have anyone seen this before?

The other unit is running fine and i am NOT taking parts from that one lol :-)

SOLVED! We replaced Plan cable with proper screened cable, then we replaced phone cable between display and master pco, now it works like a charm! it was always c3 that made everything slow.
Thx for input.
