I am doing good, thanks for asking. It took a while to get adjusted from the shock of being laid off. Part of me for a time wanted to go back to my old job but that would have been a big mistake. I...

I have replaced the CLD's on cvh's without even shutting the chiller down first and it never missed a beat. Then again I did not have line voltage in the control panel either so it will be a...

Hope the guy pulls through.

All you young guys just starting out get in the habit of wearing your arc flash ppe and it will be just like putting your seat belt on when you get into your van. This...

Could be a bad device. If it has the old flat ribbon cable comm link check the plastic connector to make sure it is not loose or coming apart. You can also try this, unbind both suction press sensors...

You must work for JCI:LOL: But at least they want you to go home every night in the same condition as you went to work that morning, unless you have a hangover of course:whistle:


Cooler, check...

The first time and only time I had to use the watered down Techview was to replace the dynaview on an RTAC and I could not edit the starts and hours, so that explains that.

The only other way to...

Thats what a Sharpie is for to write on the inside of the control panel door. CH530 and above platforms are the only ones that the starts and hours can be reset on, but you need to be a Trane office...

The port was set at 9600 baud, I set it to 1200 and will try it again when I go back.

This worked great on some Lattitude screws but I could not get it to work on an Optiview panel on a YK. Tried switching the printer types in the setup and changing the baud rate in hyperterminal,...

Had a 06 Chevy with the last company which I liked very much. Now have an 06 Ford E350 which I hate. The front end was just redone before I got it and the steering is looser than a $20 prostitute. I...

Sorry for the hijack, but this funny. I was just trying to compare speed of the new truck to Nxgen. Lets try this instead, which one is a bigger pile of crap? :LOL:

We all just scratch our heads and play the game. I guess that is one good thing that comes with age.

We start our Nxgen process by 2:30 so we are ready to roll by 3:30;). Guys that have problems with them get overhead #'s and bang them for ot if not done by quitting time. Some of the real patient...

I have a Weber Spirit with porcelin coated cast iron grates. Besides brushing them with a grill brush after every use or letting the food build up burn off every once in a while is there anything...

So what is slower, the new trucks or Nexgen ??? :deadhorse:::DD::censored::gah::stinks:

If you were a couple hundred lbs low I would expect to see it running in evap limit which in itself prevents the vanes from opening once the sat hits 36 and even closes them once the sat temp hits...

Depending on your contract may not get paid holidays either:rules::toetap:. Check your contract you probably have your own vacation fund to offset any time you take off. Next time you need to...

Here is a thread from a few months ago.

Sounds like you have a real mess. There is Hudson Technologies that can do that sort of things and flush out everything. Here is their web site http://www.hudsontech.com/ hope it helps so you can...

I asked the same question when I started with JCI and was told that no they do not have a Techview type program. You can however hook up a printer to print out all the points that occurred during a...

Had the relief valve popping on an older RTAA with a UPC1 due to a bad liquid line temp sensor which in turn controls the condenser fans through the microprocessor. The fans were not coming on the...

That is the kind of thing that really gets my interest and where I want to go for the rest of my career. I seen it as something I would not get with a smaller shop as compared to working for an OEM. ...

One thing that really interested me in JCI is the new stuff that York is coming out with as far as vfd's on their chillers. They have screws and centifiugals that run up to 200hz, 1000+ hp 4160v...

If my office called and said they have 2 service calls, a 1000 ton centrifugal or a 10 ton rtu and take your pick. Without any hesitation at all it would be the centrifugal.

It's more challanging...

Been there 2 months, so far so good, no problems and it beats the crap out of unemployment. The answer to your question is how do you cope with very large company issues and the systems they may...

It can be measured between the 1/2" charging valve on the bottom of the evap and the 1/4" access valve on the upper half of the evap. There should be little to no press drop across them. If I...

Check your e mail.

Yep, have a constant high pitch ringing in my ears. Loud chiller rooms I wear ears plugs and muffs now to help preserve what I have. They also say that meds for blood pressure, blood thinners...

Sorry to hear about your father. Sometimes it's hard but keep the faith through these tough times right now brother. You have someone up there really looking out for you now. God bless.

Marley also has one too and have used them a few times with no issues. You can get it to do high and low water alarms just depends on what you want. The probes hang inside a long box so they are not...

Looks like she has two to me.

What is your condenser water inlet temp? If it's too cold (mid to lower 60's)you can hang the refrigerant up in the condenser and starve the evap and cause it to run in evap limit.

Post back all...

I was thinking along the same lines too. Even if the relief valve did blow and if it reseats itself at 100 or 150 psi at that pressure you cannot freeze anything. The only way I can see something...

Nevermind, had the same thoughts as chillerguy81.

Good luck, just go and do your job the best you can. Prove yourself quitely without stepping on anyones elses toes or pissing off the other techs. To ease your mind there is no such thing as...

Yep, you need the OEM valve and that ain't it. It has something to do with the internal porting and the pilot valve, but I forget what exactly is special about it. This will effect the proper venting...

Last place would pay us in full for 5 days. Had another place that would not pay us at all. I use to get a letter on company stationary stating that and claim financial hardship since my wife stayed...

I had a Cutler Hammer IT (inside the delta) soft starter on a small 03, cvhe that kept giving us problems and eventually failed. Come to find out they were not very reliable and very expensive. With...

I found this in a CDHF, the factory did not have much to say either. It actually ran for 1 1/2 months until it finally came out of the condenser.

I agree it's a UCP1, and if you do get lucky and find one be prepared because it's gonna be expensive :eek2:

I use denatured alcohol and put it in plastic spray bottles. You can get it by the gallon at Home Depot or Lowes. It cleans and degreases great and it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue at all.

Well I got screwed out of my job with the Trane franchise I was with. I interviewed with Carrier and they do not pay "A" rate union scale around these parts. So York/JCI was my best option to get...
