26 CHECK REFRIGERATION CAPACITY

Alarm Type
Associated Alarm
Codes
How Alarm is Set
1. This alarm is generated if the unit's heating or cooling capacity is reduced far enough below normal levels
to indicate a refrigeration problem.
2. The capacity loss is not significant enough to force the unit into shutdown mode.
3. This alarm can be generated in cool or heat mode.
How Alarm is Cleared
This alarm is cleared manually or automatically.
Considerations
If the unit is running in reduced capacity mode because of a Prevent alarm and Alarm Code 26 is set, Alarm Code
85 Forced Unit Operation alarm is also set. Alarm Code 85 indicates the unit was forced into a reduced capacity
mode.
Diagnostic Procedure
Download and review the ServiceWatch data logger using Technician Level to determine the conditions at the time
the alarm was set.
1. Check temperature differential by displaying the temperature differential, or by checking the difference
between the control return and control discharge sensors.
2. Check refrigerant level.
3. Attach gauges and evaluate unit refrigeration system performance.
4. Verify that sensor grades are set correctly.
5. Check for proper air flow. Short cycling, caused by a blocked air flow path, may generate this code.
6. Check evaporator superheat.
