REVISION 1 15. MHRC MODES 15.1. UNIT IN POWER UP This state is entered when the Magnum is powered up or the system has been reset. The system will remain in this state for the time specifi ed in set point #23 “POWER DELAY” or for 60 seconds if not active. In this state all Relay Outputs are turned off.
REVISION 1 15.7. UNIT IS LOADING This state is entered when more capacity is required. Every second an adjustment is made to the step delay. When the delay reaches zero, the counter “steps wanted on” is increased by 1. 15.8. RUN/STOP SW OFF This state is entered when the run stop switch is off, in the stop position.
Set Points #25 “STEP SENSIT” and Set Point #26 “STEP DELAY“. e. If the ROC is indicating a suffi cient increase in MHRC Out Temperature (ROC < Set Point #27 “MAX ROC-“) the capacity control logic stop unloading and holds the current capacity.
Page 24
REVISION 1 7. Once it has been determined that a compressor is wanted on, the MAGNUM reviews the ‘NO RUN CIRCUIT CONTROL STATES’ for an available compressor. 8. The condenser fan control logic runs once every second. Pumps and fans are cycled based on the compressor(s) discharge pressure and Set Point #45 to #55, depending on condenser type.
REVISION 1 17.1.1. EXV Related Setpoints. (Refer Setpoints 9-20, 65-72, 109-110, 199-201, 205, 215, 217, and 230). These Setpoints were added to provide fi ne-tuning to the testing of the movement of the superheat temperature. Refer to EXV control logic chart in a previous section. 17.1.2.
Page 29
REVISION 1 18. MAGNUM Condenser Control Strategy Modulating Step Common - This type of condenser has a common fan bank for the system. The control will be on the systems highest discharge pressure. The Relay Outputs are also supported along with an Analog Output When the system is in both heating and cooling the condenser fan is not used.
REVISION 1 20. MHRC MAGNUM Setpoints Name Description Cold Tank Targ Cold Tank Target. This value is used as the base to develop the Control Zone. The control target is used with the control zone and rate of change of the controlling sensor to determine required action for the Magnum.
Page 32
REVISION 1 Name Description MAX ROC - If the negative Rate of Change exceeds this value we are approaching the target fast enough. The capacity control state is set to HOLDING. Used only with the Magnum Control Zone control method. MAX ROC + If the positive Rate of Change exceeds this value we are approaching the target fast enough.
Page 33
REVISION 1 Name Description ACYC ON->ON This is the anti-cycle time delay (in seconds) from when the compressor was turned on. This value is used in a calculation to determine how long a compressor should be in the anti-cycle state. Defi nes the number of cycles per hour the compressor can have.
Page 34
REVISION 1 Name Description UNSAFE SUCT If active, the Magnum checks for unsafely low suction pressure for each running compressor. If suction pressure is less than this value for the specifi ed period of time a lockout occurs. NOTE: The time period specifi...
Page 35
REVISION 1 Name Description FREEZE If active, the Magnum will compare the leaving temperature to this Setpoint. If it is less than this value for the specifi ed period of time, a safety trip occurs. UNLOADED OFF If active, the system is fully unloaded and the control temperature is greater than this value, then the capacity state will be set to holding.
REVISION 1 21. MHRC MAGNUM Alarms and Safeties 21.1. Introduction There are three types of alarms that are generated by the MHRC MAGNUM control logic: ■ Information only alarms, ■ MHRC MAGNUM system alarms and ■ MHRC MAGNUM setpoint safety alarms.
INVALID CFG VER (version number of the confi gurator is invalid) INVALID CFG TYPE (the type does not agree with software, MHRC software with a home unit confi guration) 21.1.2. MCS I/O network problem alarms These alarms indicate problems with the MCS I/O network, the system can be accessed but the system is in a lock out state, LOST I/O.
If the calculated air fl ow % value falls below the value in setpoint #41 “LOW AIR FLOW” and it remains there for the time specifi ed in the safety time of that setpoint, the MHRC will be locked out and a “LOW AIR FLOW”...
PHASE LOSS If the digital input for the phase loss indicator is on and it remains on for two seconds, the MHRC will be locked out and a “PHASE LOSS” alarm generated. This fault requires a manual reset via the LCD/Keypad or MCS-CONNECT.
The following are a list of safeties that are incorporated in the MHRC control for condenser fans. These safeties are checked every second. Each condenser fan is tested individually. If a safety condition exists, action will be taken on that condenser fan only, other condenser fans will continue to function normally.
The following are a list of safeties that are incorporated in the MHRC control for heating stages. These safeties are checked every second if the associated heating stage is on. Each heating stage is tested individually. If a safety condition exists, action will be taken on that heating stage only, other heating stages will continue to function normally.
