Figure 6-6. Slide Calibration Screen (Not in Calibration Mode)
The slide calibration screen allows the user to calibrate
slide valve actuators.
Slide Calibration Overview:
• Must be logged in as “SUPER” to calibrate slides.
• Press “Enter Slide Calibration” To Activate Slide
Calibration Mode, see Figure 6-7. (Machine MUST be
stopped to enter slide calibration mode. Machine will
not be allowed to start if slide calibration is active.)
• Use up/down pushbuttons to move slide actuators.
• Table in slide calibration screen indicates the correct
rotation of the slide valve command shaft.
• Enter minimum and maximum raw values in numeri-
cal entry fi elds.
Slide Calibration Screen
Both the capacity and volume slide actuators should be
calibrated when one or more of these have occurred:
• Compressor unit starting up for the fi rst time.
• A new actuator motor has been installed.
• There is an error code fl ashing on the actuator’s
circuit board - an attempt to recalibrate should be
made.
• The range of travel is not correct and the command
shaft travel is physically correct.
• The compressor is pulling high amperage, the cali-
bration of the volume slide should be checked.
• An actuator does not unload below 5%, or an actua-
tor that doesn’t move.
• Something is not working properly such as the actua-
tors, RTDs or transducers.
