# Randell uLi: the line voltage is too low

Randell's 9200 manual says the Danfoss control has low voltage protection and will not send power to the compressor below 104 volts.

## What uLi actually means.

Randell's 9200 manual says the Danfoss control has low voltage protection and will not send power to the compressor below 104 volts. uLi is the display that goes with it. Randell asks for each unit on its own dedicated line and a voltage reading at the compressor while it runs.

What to do when uLi shows on the commercial appliance

### Kind of code Controls and power

The controller itself is reporting trouble, or the supply behind it is: a display with dead segments, a keypad that stopped responding after steam or degreaser got behind it, relays that stick, stored recipes or cycles that vanished overnight, a blown control fuse, or one leg of a three-phase feed missing so half the heat or the pump is gone. A full power cycle at the breaker, done as the manual describes, clears a passing glitch; a code that returns, a scorched smell or any sign of moisture behind the panel means the breaker stays off, and that is a visit.

### Usually leads to Commercial controls and board repair

Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so.

### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display

A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

### Make Randell

Randell prep stations that lose temperature over the afternoon are usually visited just before the dinner setup, when the rail can be cleared.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Randell's own guidance for uLi on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Plug the unit directly into its own dedicated outlet, with no extension cord or power strip.

02

Note whether other equipment on the circuit was starting when uLi appeared.

03

Have the circuit checked by an electrician, then book a visit if uLi returns on good voltage.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [commercial controls and board repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-controls-and-board-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

uLi is protection working as intended, not a broken control. Randell's action for it is a voltage check by a qualified technician.

## What you may notice with it.

The commercial appliance problems uLi tends to arrive with. Answer these at the commercial appliance before anyone is booked.

## Questions about uLi.

### Can I clear uLi myself?

Plug the unit directly into its own dedicated outlet, with no extension cord or power strip. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why did my Randell stop cooling and show uLi?

The control holds the compressor off when voltage drops below 104 volts, to protect it. Fix the supply and it resumes.

### Does a Randell need its own circuit?

Yes. Randell's manual says it is important that the unit has its own dedicated line.

### Can low voltage damage a Randell compressor?

Randell warns that voltage outside plus or minus 10 percent of the data tag can burn out a condensing unit.
