M52 Microprocessor User's Guide The Dehum. Solenoid closes off refrigerant flow to part of the evaporator coil. This causes a lower coil temperature. The coil begins to remove more moisture as a result. The air is partially reheated, as the air through the inactive part of the evaporator is unconditioned.
M52 Microprocessor User's Guide (Temp 1) and the glycol loop temperature (temp 2) is greater than 5°C, (9°F). When the glycol temperature drops below 7.2°C (45°F) the compressors will stop automatically. The glycol temperature is monitored by the unit using Temp 2 input. Temp 1 and Temp 2 can be viewed in the Test Mode section on page three.

M52 Microprocessor User's Guide Co-Work™ Co-Work™ is a six function networking feature that is built into every M52 controller. Through the use of a six wire telephone cable you can link up to 8 compressor circuits on one local area network. What this does is it makes all units in the network operate as one system which improves the system performance, reliability and manageability.
In the factory default setting, the M52 will ignore sensor data from a standby unit in the calculation to determine the average return air temperature and humidity in the controlled space. To include sensor data for standby units, open page 2 of the Settings section and review the Sensor mode entry.
