range combinations that result in the low limit of the
control range being below 40.0ºF, the low limit will be
reset to 40.0ºF and the difference will be added to the
high limit. This will result in a control range the same
size as programmed but not allow the unit to run below
40.0ºF. This control will not affect glycol chillers.
Hot gas, if present, will be the final step of capacity.
Hot gas is energized when only a single compressor
is running and LWT is less than SP. Hot gas is turned
OFF as temperature rises when LWT is more than SP
plus CR/2. If temperature remains below the setpoint

OVERRIDE TO REDUCE CYCLING
To avoid compressor cycling the microprocessor will
adjust the setpoint upward temporarily. The last run
time of the system will be saved. If the last run time
was greater than 5 minutes, no action is to be taken.
If the last run time for the lead system was less than 5
minutes, the microprocessor will increase the setpoint
high limit according to the chart below, with a maxi-
mum value allowed of 50 °F (See Figure 38 on page
146).

FIGURE 38 - SETPOINT ADJUST

If adding the setpoint adjust value to the setpoint high
limit causes the setpoint high limit to be greater than 50
°F, the setpoint high limit will be set to 50 °F, and the
difference will be added to the setpoint low limit.

OFF hot gas, and pump the system down before turn-

The leaving chilled liquid setpoint is programmable
from 40 °F to 70 °F (4.4 °C to 21.1 °C) in water chill-
ing mode and from 10 °F to 70 °F (-12.2 °C to 21.1
°C) in glycol chilling mode. In both modes, the cooling
range can be from plus or minus 1.5 °F to plus or mi-
nus 2.5 °F (plus or minus 0.83 °C to 1.39 °C).leaving

Once a system runs for greater than 5 minutes, the set-

the system is still running.
LEAVING CHILLED LIQUID SYSTEM LEAD/
LAG AND COMPRESSOR SEQUENCING
A Lead/Lag option may be selected to help equalize
average run hours between systems with 2 refriger-
ant systems. This may be programmed under the OP-
TIONS key. Auto Lead/Lag allows automatic Lead/
Lag of the two systems based on average run hours of
the compressors in each system. Manual Lead/Lag se-
lects specifically the sequence which the microproces-
sor starts systems.
On a hot water start, once a system starts, it will turn
on all compressors before the next system starts a com-
pressor. The microprocessor will sequence compres-
sors within each circuit to maximize individual com-
pressor run time on individual compressors within a
system to prevent short cycling.
Each compressor in a system will be assigned an arbi-
trary priority number 1, 2, or 1, 2, 3. The non-running
compressor within a system with the lowest priority
number will always be the next compressor to start.
