Figure 6. Common Primary Pump with Separate Isolation Valves Chiller(s) Chiller(s) Chiller(s) CAUTION Significant changes in the chilled water flow rate through the evaporators can result when chillers in Figure 6 are turned on or off. Large flow rate changes can cause erratic chiller control. Secondary Pump/Decoupler Line Configuration Figure 7 through Figure 10 represent the four secondary pump control options available using the CSM.
Figure 9. Lead/Standby Secondary Pumps Uni-directional flow meter (supply to return) Decoupler line temperature a0102 Using the lead/standby secondary pumps enables the CSM or the user to select what pump is the lead pump and what pump is the standby pump. If the lead pump fails, the standby starts automatically. The auto-lead feature automatically swaps the lead and standby pumps based on run time.
CSM cabinet. The remote I/O modules communicate with the main processor through a L communications network. McQuay offers stand alone remote I/O modules for ORKS mounting in a field enclosure or remote I/O panels with modules mounted inside. This document describes the wiring to the remote I/O modules for application of the CSM.

Immersion Water Temperature Sensor McQuay offers the water temperature sensors for use with the CSM. McQuay Part # 049763202 is a single immersion sensor. McQuay Part # 049763203 is a pair of immersion sensors matched to ±0.1°F (±0.056°C). Matched temperature sensor pairs should be used if both supply and return chilled water temperature sensors will be installed to provide more accurate temperature differential readings.
Outdoor Air Temperature and/or Relative Humidity Sensor McQuay offers an outdoor air temperature (OAT) sensor for use with the CSM (McQuay Part # 049763302). McQuay also offers a relative humidity sensor/OAT sensor combination (McQuay Part # 112024301). The only externally visible difference is the appearance of the sensing element.
Field Wiring Following are descriptions of the various field-wiring requirements. A typical CSM field-wiring diagram is shown in Figure 24. Wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances. Failures caused or contributed to by wiring not in accordance with these instructions will not be covered by warranty. Power Wiring Building power is wired directly to the transformer supplied with the CSM.

International Models - 240 VAC models building power termination Building Power Source Termination point Type of Wire Typical Color of Wire...
ORKS Free Topology Networks Each Lon network node (chiller, CSM, Remote I/O Module) must be equipped an FTT-10A transceiver for network communication. For each MicroTech II chiller, an optional L Communication Module includes the required ORKS FTT-10A transceiver. This transceiver allows for (1) free topology network wiring schemes using twisted pair (shielded or unshielded) cable and (2) polarity insensitive connections at each node.
Figure 18. Combining Network Segments with a Repeater Termination Termination Free Topology Restrictions Although free topology wiring is very flexible, there are restrictions to the number of nodes on a segment, the maximum bus length, and the wire size. The maximum number of nodes per segment is 64. The maximum total bus length depends on the wire size: Wire Size Maximum Node-to-Node Length...
A stub is a piece of cable that is wired between the node and the bus (see Figure 17). Note that if the bus is wired directly to the node, there is no stub, and thus the stub length is zero. If you are wiring to a field terminal strip on a unit, be sure to account for any factory wiring between the terminal strip and the controller.

Can cause equipment damage. If analog inputs on a MicroTech II CSM onboard I/O are connected to more than one external device, the connected analog outputs of those devices must be isolated from ground. If they are not, ground loop currents could occur which could damage the MicroTech II and connected equipment.

Minimum System Setpoint (adjustable on the CSM’s User Interface). If the external reset signal equals 20 mA (10 VDC), the System Setpoint will equal the Maximum System Setpoint (adjustable on the CSM’s User Interface). For more on reset, refer to Reset in the Chilled Water Temperature Control section of OM 780-MicroTech II Chiller System Manager Operation Manual.
A 20-volt DC at 80-mA power source is available on the onboard I/O panel to power some of the external transmitters sending data to universal inputs 7 to 12. For example, if a McQuay relative humidity sensor is used, the power required at the relative humidity sensor can be obtained from the onboard I/O board (see Figure 24).

Remote I/O Wiring The remote I/O modules for the CSM allow for additional analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs, and digital outputs for Cooling Load Pump Control and Cooling Tower Control. Since both cooling load pumping and cooling tower control are optional features of the CSM, remote I/O modules will not be required on all jobs.
Can cause equipment damage. If analog inputs/outputs on a MicroTech II Remote I/O Module are connected to more than one external device, the connected analog outputs/inputs of those devices must be isolated from ground. If they are not, ground loop currents could occur which could damage the remote I/O module and connected equipment.

Remote I/O Module Special Considerations when using % RLA Signal from a McQuay MicroTech Series 200 Centrifugal Chiller McQuay MicroTech Series 200 Centrifugal chillers offer an optional analog output representing compressor % RLA. If you are using this output, follow these guidelines: Use the 0-10 VDC output option.

Signal Averaging Device Specification 2 x 0-10 VDC Signal Input 0-10 VDC (averaged) Signal Output 24 VAC Power Supply 3.4”H x 2”W x 4.8”D Dimensions (8.6 cm x 11.8 cm x 2.54 cm) Chillers Without % RLA Output If the chiller does not have a % RLA output, the compressor amp usage must be input at AI 1 and the CSM will calculate a % RLA.
VFD. Current transducers must be obtained locally. A 24 VDC power supply (Part #111049601) is available through McQuay Service Parts only. The input voltage to this power supply is 24 VAC and it provides a 24 VDC output at 80 mA for the loop powered current transducer. This power supply (80 mA) is capable of powering two of the above current transducers (at 30 mA max, each).
System Setpoint. Many chillers (including McQuay MicroTech controlled chillers) only accept external setpoint reset in the form of a 4-20 mA signal. The 2-10 VDC signal from the remote I/O module must be changed to 4-20 mA with a signal converter. This converter is wired to the same power source that supplies 24 VAC to the module and is spliced into the signal wiring as shown in Figure 30.
20 mA). Many chillers (including McQuay MicroTech controlled chillers) only accept external demand limiting in the form of a 4- 20 mA signal. The 2-10 VDC signal from the remote I/O module must be changed to 4-20 mA with a signal converter.
