for holidays are used by selecting a start date and an end
date for up to ten periods during the year by using the holiday
scheduling feature. Whenever a holiday period occurs, the
controller uses the Holiday Schedule start and stop time for
the period. For example, assume that Christmas Eve occurs
on a Thursday. The building is shut down on both Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day, but operates normally on the
weekend. This holiday period would be scheduled by setting
the Holiday Schedule to the default “no schedule” values
“HH:MM- HH:MM” and setting the Holiday Period to “12/24/08

Condenser Fan Operation for Variable Speed Compressor Low Ambient Option
(MPS 040 and 050 Only)

Daikin’s head pressure control operates by modulating the Figure 19: R-410A Speedtrol
motor speed of one condenser fan on the VFD compressor
refrigeration circuit in response to the condenser pressure.
VFD compressor refrigerant circuit contains a solenoid valve
that blocks refrigerant flow to half of the condenser coil, which
effectively removes 50% of the condenser surface from the
circuit for low load/low ambient conditions.
This option allows for mechanical cooling operation down to 0F
(-18C). The VFD option senses refrigerant head pressure and
varies the fan speed accordingly. When the pressure rises, the
SpeedTrol increases the speed of the fan, when the pressure
falls. SpeedTrol decreases the speed of the fan.
The VFD throttling range is 250 to 400 psig, fixed, with a
corresponding fan speed range of 10Hz to 60Hz. The fan
motor is a three-phase motor, identical to the unit voltage
(208V to 575V) and is controlled by a variable frequency Figure 20: Speedtrol Operating Characteristics (for
drive. The variable frequency drive receives a signal from a Variable Speed Inverter Compressor Units)
pressure transducer and varies the speed of the condenser fan
accordingly.
The SpeedTrol arrangement for VFD compressors is also
employing “Start-Stop control by Speed reference Level” in
which the VFD will stop the condenser fan motor under certain
conditions. If the head pressure were to fall below 250 PSIG
with the condenser fan operating at minimum speed of 10Hz
(possibly due to a low ambient or high wind condition) the
VFD will shut down the condenser fan. The VFD will restart
the condenser fan at 20 Hz if head pressure rises to a level
above 250 PSIG. In addition to modulating fan speed, a
refrigerant solenoid valve is included in circuit #1. Operation of
the solenoid valve is based on head pressure. If the average
condensing pressure falls below 250 PSIG (83F sat) for 60
seconds, the condenser solenoid valve closes, effectively
removing 50% of the condensing surface. If the averaging
condensing pressure rises above 350 PSIG (105F sat) for 60 Figure 21: Speedtrol Operating Characteristics (for

normally open configuration.

Duct Static Pressure Control

The supply air fan speed is controlled by a VFD. The control
parameter for the fan speed is the duct static pressure setpoint.
If the duct static pressure is below the duct static pressure
setpoint by more than ½ the deadband, the fan speed will
increase. Likewise if the duct static pressure is above the
duct static pressure setpoint by more than ½ the deadband
the fan speed will decrease. Example - if the duct static
pressure setpoint is 1.2" and the deadband is 0.1",the duct
static pressure must reach 1.14 before the fan will increase in

Troubleshooting
Fan Failure Codes
HLL = Hall Sensor Error
First occurrence:
Power fluctuations may be responsible.
Corrective: Reset the failure; re-start the motor and observe it. If applicable, filter out the source of the disturbing
voltage.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: Do other fans show the same failure?
Yes: Systematically search for voltage peaks.
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.

TFEI = Electronics Interior Overheated

First occurrence:
Too high ambient temperature may be responsible.
Question: • Could ambient temperature have been too high?
• Is it possible to connect the fan to EC Control in order to display the temperature? If so, is the
displayed temperature within the expected temperature range?
Corrective: If the displayed temperature is above 95°C (the electronics switches off at 105°C), double-check the
ambient temperature in each operating mode.
Reset the failure; re-start the motor and observe it.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: Do other fans show the same failure?
Yes: Systematically search for the cause of excessive ambient temperature. Perhaps use a data logger
or read out the electronics temperature via EC Control.
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.

TFM = Motor Overheated

First occurrence:
Excessive ambient temperature may be responsible.
Question: • Could ambient temperature have been too high? Or is the motor overloaded?
• Is it possible to connect the fan to EC Control in order to display the motor temperature?
• Is the displayed temperature within the expected temperature range?
Corrective: If the displayed temperature is too high:
• Double-check the motor temperature in each operating mode.
• Check of the fan load: Measure the input power at max. load/ operating point and compare the
measured value with nominal data on the label. Is there any discrepancy?
• Reset the failure; re-start the motor and observe it.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: Do other fans show the same failure?
Yes: systematically search for the cause of excessive ambient temperature. Perhaps use a data logger
or read out the electronics temperature via EC Control.
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.

TFE = Power Mod Overheated

First occurrence:
Excessive ambient temperature may be responsible.
Question: • Do other fans (temporarily) show the same failure within the arrangement? Could ambient temperature
have been too high? Or is the motor overloaded?
• Is it possible to connect the fan to EC Control in order to display the temperature?
• Is the displayed temperature within the expected temperature range?
Corrective: If the displayed temperature is too high:
• Check the module temperature during operation in each operating mode (Tmodule <110°C;
switching-off temperature 115°C)
• Check the fan load and supply voltage: Measure the input power at max. load/ operating point and
compare the measured value with nominal data on the label. Is there any discrepancy?
• Reset the failure; re-start the motor and observe it.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: Do other fans show the same failure?
Yes: Systematic search for the reason of too high ambient temperature, overload, overvoltage or low
voltage. Perhaps use a data logger.
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.

BLK = Locked Motor

First occurrence:
Question: • Is it possible that the motor was locked by an obstruction or ice?
• Do other fans show the same behaviour?
Corrective: Remove the reason for blocking. Caused by ice: activate the shake-loose functionality (starting with
ModBus 5) or increase the starting phase control factor.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: Does increasing the starting phase control factor improve the situation?
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.

SKF = Communication Error

First occurrence:
Power fluctuations may be responsible.
Corrective: Reset the failure; re-start the motor and observe it. If applicable, filter out the source of the
disturbing signal.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: Do other fans show the same failure?
Yes: systematic search for peaks of disturbance voltage
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.

UzLow = DC-Link Undervoltage

Question: Can the main voltage be measured at any spot; a data logger may be helpful.
No: Measure the voltage at the power supply input of the concerned fan.
Corrective: • Reset the failure; re-start the motor and observe it.
• If applicable, filter out the source of disturbing signal.
Repeated occurrence:
Question: • Do other fans show the same failure?
• How often does the failure occur?
• Get big electrical consumer loads switched at the same time when the failure occurs in the
surrounding area?
• Are compressors or large asynchronous motors applied within the arrangement?
Yes: Systematic search for external disturbance voltage peaks; If applicable, usage of data logger for
a longer period and analysis of the measured values.
• Are the voltage values within the specified range?
No: It seems to be a hardware problem of the fan. Fan need to be replaced.
