Externally Powered (4 To 20 Ma) Demand - Carrier AquaForce 30XV140 Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service And Troubleshooting Instructions

Switch Controlled — If using 2 or 3-step demand limit con-
trol, an energy management module must be installed. One-
step demand limit control does not require the energy manage-
ment module. To configure demand limit for switch control,
three parameters for 1-step switch control must be configured.
For 2 or 3-step control, additional set point parameters must be
configured. The parameters are: the type of Demand Limit Se-
lection, the setting for Switch Limit Setpoint 1, the setting for
Switch Limit Setpoint 2 (if required) and the setting for Switch
Limit Setpoint 3 (if required).
To configure this option with the Touch Pilot™ display:

In the following example, 2-step demand limit based on
capacity is desired with the first switch closure limiting the
capacity to 60%. The second switch closure is to limit the ca-
pacity to 40%. Demand Limit Switch 1 is 60% and Demand
Limit Switch 2 is 40%. Since no third-step demand limit is re-
quired, Switch Limit Setpoint 3 is set at 0%.

mA Demand Limit Signal
Fig. 36 — Example: 4 to 20 mA Demand Limit

EXTERNALLY POWERED (4 to 20 mA) DEMAND

LIMIT — The energy management module is required for 4 to
20 mA demand limit control. An externally powered 4 to 20 mA
signal must be connected to TB6-1 and TB6-2. Typically the 4 to
20mA signal is provided by an active outdoor sensor connected
to this input. This signal is read by a transducer type (0 to 5 vdc)
on the EMM board via a field-installed 0.5 W 250-ohm resistor.
Care should be taken when interfacing with other control
systems due to possible power supply differences such as a
full wave bridge versus a half wave rectification. Connec-
tion of control devices with different power supplies may
result in permanent damage. Touch Pilot controls incorpo-
rate power supplies with half wave rectification. A signal
isolation device should be utilized if the signal generator
incorporates a full wave bridge rectifier.
Externally Powered (4 to 20 mA) Current Based Demand
Limit — To configure demand limit for 4 to 20 mA control
based on unit capacity, one parameter must be configured.
The parameter is Demand Limit Type Select. The value of
the capacity limit will vary linearly for 0% to 100% based
on the input signal where 4 mA is 100% and 20 mA is 0%
of total unit capacity.

In the example in Fig. 36, a 4 mA signal is Demand
Limit 100% and a 20 mA Demand Limit signal is 0%. The
4 to 20 mA signal is connected to TB6-1 and TB6-2. The
demand limit is a linear interpolation between the two val-
ues entered. If the machine receives a 12 mA signal, the
machine controls will limit the capacity to 50%.
