Metacentre ERR.04 (Internal 24V Fault The 24VDC power supply, internal to the unit’s controller, is below 19.2V)
ERR. 04 gives the indication that the applied power supply is too low. This can happen because of a faulty power supply or because of some type of short circuit or leakage. Follow the analysis steps below to locate the short circuit, or faulty ...
Commissioning the system: How to achieve, or configure a correct load- and unloading algorithm.
The Metacentre system uses an intern algorithm to determine when to load or un-load a compressor. An algorithm is a very complex mathematical calculation. Below you can find a list of items that influence the load/unload algorithm. The amount of ...
The BLUE 'Available' LED(s) on the Metacentre fascia are flashing fast but the compressor is available and ready to start. What's wrong?
Check menu C03 of Metacentre system controller for accurate configuration (I-485, V-485, iPCB) For I-485 or V-485. Ensure the respective compressor controller is in the 'started' state. Note: this can be either the compressor controller itself, or a ...
I've installed my Metacentre system controller and accessories, how do I approach commissioning?
Review our pre-commissioning check list. Review the Technical Manual for the product your commissioning (can be downloaded from the download centre). Obtain the performance data for all connected compressors. Review site specific installation and ...
I've installed and commissioned the Metacentre system controller but compressors are loading and unloading erratically. What's happening?
Metacentre system controllers load and unload a group of air compressors to maintain the configured target system pressure measured at the control pressure sensor. Site specific factors such as 'insufficient storage' or 'significant instantaneous ...
I'm installing a Metacentre system controller, where's the best place to locate the control pressure sensor(s)?
The system pressure sensor (P) must be located in a position that will continuously experience pressure that is common to all compressors. Refer to Metacentre system controller Technical Manual for further guidance.
Does the Metacentre Master controller work with multiple VSD compressors?
If you connect multiple VSD compressors on the Metacentre Master ( XC/SX/P4). The Master controller will only regulate 1 VSD compressor between his max and minimum speed, the other VSD compressor will react as a FIX speed compressor. ...
