Mydax, Inc. 1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller SYSTEM OVERVIEW System Fluid Schematic Refer to drawing #B2343, the fluid schematic. The heart of the design is the evaporator valve. This is a thermal-electric expansion valve, controlled directly by the system's embedded microprocessor. Hermetically sealed, it consists of a spring-loaded needle valve in contact with a bimetallic plate.

Mydax, Inc. 1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller System Electrical Diagram Refer to drawing #B2344, the system electrical diagram. The central component of the electrical system is the M1001 controller. It is microprocessor-based and communicates with and/or controls various other circuit boards and components.
Mydax, Inc. 1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller INSTALLATION POWER CONNECTION This chiller requires a 20 amp or larger circuit, 208/230 volt, 60 Hz, 3 phase and is equipped with a line cord and twist-lock L15-30P electrical plug. PLUMBING INTERFACE CONNECTIONS The chiller's 1" female pipe thread (FPT) fitting labeled "TANK OUT" must be plumbed to the inlet of the device to be cooled.
1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller FRONT PANEL CONTROLS All Mydax chillers are controlled by a microprocessor which is accessed via the system control panel. System controls are simple, yet powerful and in concert with built-in diagnostics and error messages, are exceptionally comprehensive.

1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller ERROR MESSAGES A unique feature of Mydax systems is the error messages displayed on the 2 by 40-character liquid crystal display (LCD). The microprocessor constantly checks various points and parameters throughout the system and automatically displays messages when error conditions are sensed.
1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAYS Mydax chillers are provided with a computerized self-diagnostic capability. This system is equipped with 9 different test panels, which are accessed by pressing the TEST key, followed by the test panel number. Diagnostic mode is...

Mydax, Inc. 1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller last history reset, the display reads "No Alarms". If alarms have occurred, the display shows them in sequence, like the main display. The history can be cleared 3 ways: 1. Power Off/On 2. Press START Key when unit is stopped 3.
SERVICE & WARRANTY If a unit malfunctions, please contact the Mydax Service Department as soon as possible. Many small problems can lead to large problems if not dealt with immediately. Please have the serial number and model number on hand when calling.
Mydax, Inc. 1M9W-S Water Cooled Chiller RESHIPPING & LONG-TERM STORAGE PREPARATION Reshipped systems should be protected from freezing temperatures in shipment or serious damage may occur. Freezing temperatures can be encountered in air and over-mountain surface shipments in any month of the year. In-transit freeze- up can occur in the recirculating coolant loop and in a water-cooled condenser's cooling loop.

The use of an embedded microprocessor allows Mydax to offer an RS-232C (remote) interfacing capability. Mydax systems can be controlled from a computer with either the MYDAX REMOTE Window's ™ software package or any control software of the user's choice. Full control and monitoring is possible, allowing complete system operation from any convenient location.
