22 Capacity Test 1 Error MP4000

Description

Capacity Test 1 Error 

  • Occurs during pretrip (PTI) test only. 
  • Difference between supply and return air temperature is too small with high speed evaporator fans (less than approximately 4.5 C [8 F]). 
  • When the return air temperature does not reach -18 C (0 F) within preset time. 
  • Indicates: 
  • Incorrect location of supply or return air sensor. 
  • Air leakage at supply sensor cable. 
  • Defective supply or return air sensor. 
  • Interchanged sensor connections. 
  • Incorrect evaporator fan rotation or high speed operation. 
  • Incorrect refrigeration system operation. 
  • Container/side panels defective, damaged or leaking. 
  • Economizer circuit defective. 

Corrective Action 

  • Enter Manual Function Test and start evaporator fans on high speed and let operate fans for 5 minutes. Check supply, return and evaporator coil (defrost) sensor temperatures. Sensor readings should be the same (evaporator coil may be 0.5 C [1.0 F] lower due to fan motor heat). 
  • Open evaporator door and inspect evaporator fan rotation. Make sure fans are rotating correctly on high speed. 
  • Check the sensor connections. 
  • Enter Manual Function Test menu. Start and check current draw of the following components separately and together: compressor, vapor on, condenser fan and evaporator fans (high). Check discharge and suction pressure readings. Also check the refrigerant charge. 
NOTE: This alarm can be activated in ambient temperatures below -10 C (14 F), even under normal conditions.
