Compressor Run Status

Compressor run status is shown at the top of the system over-
view (home) screen. Table 8 lists chiller status names, values,
and descriptions.

PRE-START ALERT CONDITION

Chiller Start-Up Sequence

PRE-START CHECK
Once start-up begins, the controller performs a series of pre-start
tests to verify that all pre-start alerts and safeties are within lim-
its. Progress is shown on the Startup Sequence screen (see
Fig. 33). This screen can be accessed by touching the mode title
(top blue bar) of the home screen. Table 9 lists pre-start alert and
alarm conditions.
The compressor RUN STATUS parameter on the default screen
line now reads PRESTART. If a test is not successful, the start-
up is delayed or aborted. If all tests are successful, the chilled
water pump relay energizes, and the main screen line now reads
STARTUP.
