Sensors

PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS — Pressure transducers mea-
sure and control the pressures in the unit. These electronic sen-
sors deliver 0 to 5 VDC. The transducers can be calibrated
through the controller. The pressure transducers are connected
to the IOBs. See Table 7.

TEMPERATURE SENSORS — The system uses electronic
sensors to measure and control the temperatures in the unit.
There are three types of temperature sensors: 5K thermistor,
10K thermistor, and RTD (resistance temperature detector,
100 ohm, 3-wire) based on IOB channel configurations. The
temperature sensor range is –40 F (–40 C) to 245 F (118 C).
See Table 8.

Controls Outputs

EVAPORATOR/CONDENSER WATER PUMP —
controller can regulate an optional evaporator/condenser
water pump.
INLET GUIDE VANE — The inlet guide vane adjusts the
refrigerant vapor flow into the compressor to adapt to change
in the operating conditions of the machine. To adjust the refrig-
erant flow, the guide vane opens or closes to vary the cross-
section of the refrigerant path. The high degree of accuracy
with which the guide vane is positioned ensures that the flow
of refrigerant is precisely controlled.
ECONOMIZER DAMPER VALVE —
damper control opens or closes the economizer damper valve
to maintain a minimum refrigerant pressure difference between
the evaporator and economizer.
ENVELOP CONTROL/HGBP VALVE —
bypass function artificially loads the chiller and keeps it run-
ning under low load conditions or helps to prevent surge condi-
tions. Since this function can also reduce the operating
efficiency of the machine, this is a user-selectable and configu-
rable option.
VFD — The VFD modifies motor frequency to allow com-
pressor start-up and capacity control. The VFD controls con-
tinually monitor parameters in order to ensure compressor
protection. Should a problem occur, the controller triggers an
alarm and the compressor is stopped.

PIC 5 USER INTERFACE

The PIC 5 Human Machine Interface (HMI) is a color
10.4-in. TFT touch screen. Navigation is either direct from
the touch screen interface or by connecting to a web inter-
face at the Ethernet IP port of the controller. The navigation
menus are the same for both connection methods.
Two web connections may be au-
Web Connection —
thorized at the same time. When two users are connected si-
multaneously, there is no priority between users; that is, the last
modification is in effect regardless of the user.
Connection is from a personal computer using a Java-
enabled web browser. See the section Touch Screen Set-
tings for the Controller on page 49 for configuration in-
structions. The minimum browser configuration includes:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 8 or higher) or
Mozilla Firefox (version 3.5.2 or higher). In the advanced
connection options, add the unit address to the address list.
Do not use a proxy server.
• Java platform (version 6 or higher). In the control panel,
deselect (uncheck) the option that allows storing tempo-
rary internet files and use a direct connection.
To access the PIC 5 user interface, enter the IP address of
the unit in the address bar of the web browser. The IP address
can be viewed or changed from the PIC 5 interface. For more
information on the web browser and Java platform configura-
tion, see the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting section.
