Already replaced 2 new controllers MICROLINK2i, but all of their fuses F1 AND F2 keep blowing out.

Hi saleemsalem

did you check TR(transformer)? You try replace the transformer with new one. Good luck.

check the heater kliksons or the smv module. the easiest way is to disconnect the loads then slowly plug them in until u blow a fuse.

You try replace the transformer with new one.

I'm curious as to why/how you came to this conclusion ?

Actually I did not replaced the Transfotmer, because its output Voltages were Normal 18volts and 22volts AC.

I am having a problem with a TK CF-2 M39 container unit that was built for Crowley. Software Rev 0, 08/95 It operates on R404a not 134a, so because of the higher pressure there is no liquid line solenoid for pumping down when the unit is in heat.

During the defrost cycle the compressor, evap fans, and the condenser fan should stop, and the heater coils come on. The problem is that the compressor is not turning off but the condenser and evap fans do, as they should. So the unit goes out on a code 10 and 40

(40, Pump down terminated on time limit, does not apply to this unit, but its still coming up.)

The relays, wiring, and contactors are all good. The unit works good except for on the defrost event.

When put into a manual defrost with the condenser fan running, the compressor and fan continue to run, then shut off together and the defrost is completed successfully.

When put into a manual defrost when the condenser fan is in an off cycle, the fan stays off, but the compressor stays on, that is when the unit goes out on high head.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[bruisermac]

hey M L CA ... sounds like you need to wire your condenser fan to run all the time. that should be fine with R404a as you needed the cycling action with R134a to keep the head pressure up in cold ambients.

the reason its tripping is cause it wants to pump down on defrost but because the fan is off it builds head and trips fast even before it can shut off. you may have a problem with the cycle switch as it should cut in on a rise in pressure. i have seen before that the compressor contactors stick and work erratically at best. we always lube those contactors.

Or it may possibly be overcharged with refrigerant.

[bruisermac]

yes it could...it is hard to help a guy over the internet isnt it...the best is when they say its messed up but the pressures are "good" that is funny sh@t!!!

Yeah sometimes its a challenge. My favorite one is "I think the pressures are okay, I will hook up gauges and check". I posted a what is normal pressure work sheet some where on this forum maybe a year and half ago.

I have an old carrier 511-331. Its not modulating at all and also seems to be turning on only when the return comes 1 degree over set point and will go down 4 or so degrees under setpoint. Now I havent spent much time on it but have tested power coming to the plug connected to the stepper motor..I have voltage coming through on all 4 lines.. Should only have power on A/B or C/D at one time as A/B open and C/D close it if my memory serves me correctly. So that tells me the stepper motor itself is not the issue, however does this mean somehow it is the microlink or could it be the power module or even something else? just trying to get another opinion as it is a leased box and I cant just start changing random parts. P.S I did check to see if quest software was on this box and it is not.

[bruisermac]

hey 1612

check for broken wires behind the compressor and suction valve. they rub on the back wall sometimes. also the drive module or if its an APL the emergency module fails. if it has an emergency module remove it and plug into the SMV directly

[starezone]

good day evey body .
i look for some advice from the refrigeration-engineer experiance.
me issus is i can found the stare cool reefer unit softwear to import the data logger from this unit..

I have a carrier 511-362 thats going off on Alarm 15 but that alarm does not appear on the list of alarm codes on the reefer or in the manual that I can locate...if you know what this means let me know. I'm a newbie and working by myself and don't really want to call someone else in if its just something stupid.

[Will]

carrier 511-362 thats going off on Alarm 15 but that alarm does not appear on the list of alarm codes on the reefer or in the manual

Later models show that alarm as "loss of cool". I'm guessing yours has gone through some software upgrades and thus won't show newer alarm # on the door.
Go to Carriers website and check out the later model PDFs.

[teguh]

The latest SW ver. is 5146.

Hi, you shouldn't need to clear this. Quest is a power saving initiative. Starcool and ThermoKing also use it, Daikin call it DTMS2.
It is exactly as you state "a message". It is telling you that the power saving mode (Quest) is currently not active due to a controller initiated time delay.
As per Reefermechanic's menu picture, it is in the MISC sub menu Under STATUS.
Quest should be left to do what it is supposed to, and only turned off if you have a very good reason :-)

"QUEST power-saving mode is a software-based control option for Carrier Transicold refrigeration units that intelligently cycles refrigeration on and off based on temperature limits designed for specific perishables. It can cut energy requirements for refrigeration by up to 50% while also reducing power-related emissions."

Dear bro...
When i was doing pti (thermoking unit,magnum), alarm 115 and 116 were come out.it does mean sensors faulty but when i check connection and ohm,showing that all in good condition (2000 ohm) please help me how should do?

[reefermechanic]

[topbanana]

Sorry for late reply,mate ! I haven't try to change yet coz i haven't spare part yet but i'll be change return air sensor and reply you no sooner.
Thank you so much for your reply.

[topbanana]

Thanks a ton. It's really worked!
When i was changed return air sensor , the unit is ok and pti pass.....i am quite curious coz the measure the value of ohm is nothing different with the old and new one sensor..? ?
