Continuous Operation
How to select and use continuous operation mode
In Continuous Operation, the unit runs without cycling off. It will only shut down in response to a shutdown alarm.
With the system powered up (START/RUN-OFF switch in START/RUN) or in PC mode, press the START-STOP/CONTINUOUS key until "CONTINUOUS" is displayed and highlighted.
"CONTINUOUS RUN MODE SELECTED" will be displayed in the MessageCenter for 10 seconds.
The operation indication in the status bar will no longer be highlighted. The unit is now in Continuous Operation.
The control system may be configured with continuous operation tied to setpoint ranges for either frozen or perishable loads.
If "CONTINUOUS LOCKED" displays in the MessageCenter when the START-STOP/CONTINUOUS key is pressed, the unit is locked in Continuous Operation. If "START-STOP LOCKED" displays, the unit is locked in Start-Stop Operation. Refer to Section 5.2.3 for more information on Configurations.
If the unit fails to start after three start attempts, alarm 00031 Failed to Start - Auto Mode will be activated.
If the unit shuts down three consecutive times without running a minimum of 15 minutes between shutdowns, alarm 00030 Failed to Run Minimum Time will be activated. The shutdown counter is cleared when the unit has run for 15 minutes.
