ALLARMS
The alarms that may trigger can be grouped in two categories:
A) Stop ALARM (red steady LED)
B) Warning ALARM (red flashing LED)
C) INVERTER stopped and warning ALARMS (Red steady or flashing LED)
A: STOP ALARM
This type of alarm stops the compressor and is pointed out by the red steady LED (ALARM on
dashboard), by a beeping buzzer and by a flashing message on the display indicating the cause for the
actual alarm.
1. When the Pressure exceeds the limit alarm pressure (case in which the increase in pressure is so quick
that the max. cut-off pressure is unable to intervene) the following appears on the display:

ROTATION
This alarm means that the electrical power supply cables have been connected incorrectly (relative to
the three phases).
When connected correctly, the screw unit and the fan motor will run in the correct direction
To reset the machine:
Once you have connected the cables correctly, press the “RESET” key on the control board.
NB: In SD models (equipped with inverter), only the fan motor can run in the incorrect direction. To reset
make the same corrections.
6. When the Pressure exceeds the limit alarm pressure (case in which the increase in pressure is so
that the max. cut-off pressure is unable to intervene) the following appears on the display:

MAINTENANCE TIME
This points out that the pre-established maintenance time has expired. Carry out the maintenance jobs
stated herein. To reset the maintenance hours, see item 1 and 2 of the “MAINTENANCE” menu.
Note: If the alarm flashes without the display indicating the cause, press the “UP” and “DOWN”
arrow keys on the push button control panel together at the same time to view an indication on the
cause.
2. Alarm displayed:
This points out that the serial communication between inverter and Air Energy control unit is interrupted.
Restore the communication then press the “RESET” key on the control board.
3. Alarm displayed:
In the case of an anomaly or fault in the inverter, some alarms appear on the control unit on two different
lines of the viewer: STATUS WORD1 and STATUS WORD2 with a number of special codes that identify the
type of fault and possible solution. These alarms cause the compressor to stop. The alarm is pointed out by
the red flashing LED and buzzer. A list of all the types of alarms that may trigger together with their possible
solutions follows below. The following could appear on the display:
14
FIAC AIR ENERGY CONTROL – for silent screw compressors
USE AND PROGRAMMING ADVANCED MANUAL
Solution:
Check for excessive static or transitory voltages in the mains.
The temperature within the inverter is excessive. The tripping level of the temperature of the inverter module
is 115°C.
Solution:
Check the surrounding conditions. Ensure there is sufficient air circulation and check if the fan of the electric
control panel is working.
Ensure there is no dust on the fins of the inverter dissipator.
Ensure the filters on the hatch of the electric control panel are not dirty.
Solution:
Check and eliminate the cause for the fault in to the wiring harness.
15
FIAC AIR ENERGY CONTROL – for silent screw compressors
USE AND PROGRAMMING ADVANCED MANUAL
The dc voltage of the intermediary circuit oscillates due to missing mains phase, blown fuse or fault inside
the rectifier bridge.
Solution:
Check the mains fuses. Check for anomalies in the mains power supply.
The dc voltage of the intermediary circuit is insufficient due to a missing mains phase, blown fuse or an
internal fault of a rectifier bridge.
Solution:
Check the mains power supply, the fuses and the power supply voltage.
16
FIAC AIR ENERGY CONTROL – for silent screw compressors
USE AND PROGRAMMING ADVANCED MANUAL
The analogue control signal is lower than the minimum value admitted due to an insufficient signal level or to
an error in the connection of the control unit.
Solution:
Check if the levels of the analogue control signal are correct. Check the control cabling.
To restore machine operation:
Eliminate the cause for the fault.
Press the RESET button on the keypad of the ACS550 INVERTER inside the electric cabinet. Then press
also the “RESET” key on the control board to set the compressor ready to start.
Loss of cyclic communication between the drive and the master station.
Solution:
Check the fieldbus communication status. Check the connections of the cables. Check if the master is able
to communicate.
Press the RESET button on the keypad of the ACS550 INVERTER inside the electric cabinet. Then press
also the “RESET” key on the control board to set the compressor ready to start.
The motor nearly stalls, for example due to excessive loads or insufficient motor power.
THE COMPRESSOR STOPS!
Solution:
Check the load of the motor and the drive data nameplate.
To restore machine operation:
A motor phase is lost due to a fault in the actual motor, motor cable or internal fault.
Solution:
Check the motor and motor cable.
