- Check wiring terminations at IOM
- Do all the KE2 Controllers have power? (Is the display lit up?)
- YES:
- Is KE2 Controller Communicating with GridPoint?
- Check address of controller, 50 and 51 for two freezers and 52 for cooler.
- KE2 Low Temp - hold “Back” for 3 seconds and scroll to Adr
- KE2 Temp - hold “Enter” for 3 seconds and scroll to Adr
- Check communication cables for damage
- Check if the daisy chain has been broken - this splice can take place inside the controllers or on top of the Freezer/Cooler
- Check the baud rate converter located near GridPoint Controller and confirm device still has power and wires connected (Comm 1=KE2 Chain, Comm 2=RS485 to controller). Check communication cables from baud rate converter to GridPoint device (HUB, 1204EX, EC2000)
- Check address of controller, 50 and 51 for two freezers and 52 for cooler.
- Is KE2 Controller Communicating with GridPoint?
- YES – ERROR CODE DISPLAYING
- If Red or Amber indicator light, look up error code below and fix issue
KE2 Low Temp Error Codes for Amber/Red Light- AtSA = Air Temperature Sensor Alarm
- CLSA = Coil Temperature Sensor Alarm
- HtA = Hight Temperature Alarm
- LtA = Low Temperature Alarm PF = Power Failure
KE2 Temp Error Codes for Amber/Red Light - SSA = Shorted Sensor Alarm
- OSA = Open Sensor Alarm
- HtA = Hight Temperature Alarm
- LtA = Low-Temperature Alarm
- If Red or Amber indicator light, look up error code below and fix issue
- NO
- Has the system been serviced recently? Determine why unit may have been left powered off.
- Check breaker panels for tripped breaker for cooler/freezer
- Check evaporator disconnect inside cooler/freezer to confirm evaporator was not turned off on accident
- Check for coil sensor wires or any other wires in the side cabinets that may have melted or shorted out because of bad placement.
- Check compressor cabinet for any sign of wiring changes from previous technicians attempting to put system back on time clock control
- YES:
- If still receiving incorrect temperatures, replace KE2
- If customer installed, they need to replace it
- If replaced with something GridPoint does not service, the KE2 will need to be removed from the configuration
- If GridPoint installed, we will replace it
- If customer installed, they need to replace it
