The configurations associated with demand limiting can be
viewed at the local display at Configuration
Table 48.
Demand Limit Select (DM.L.S) — This configuration deter-
mines the type of demand limiting.
• 0 = NONE — Demand Limiting not configured.
• 1 = 2 SWITCHES — This will enable switch input
demand limiting using the switch inputs connected to the
CEM board. Connections should be made to TB6-4, 5, 6.
• 2 = 4 to 20 mA — This will enable the use of a remote 4
to 20 mA demand limit signal. The CEM module must
be used. The 4 to 20 mA signal must come from an
externally sourced controller and should be connected to
TB6-7, 8.
• 3 = CCN LOADSHED — This will allow for loadshed
and red lining through CCN communications.
Two-Switch Demand Limiting (DM.L.S = 1) — This type of
demand limiting utilizes two discrete inputs:
Demand Limit Switch 1 Setpoint (D.L.S1) — Dmd Limit
Switch Setpoint 1 (0-100% total capacity)
Demand Limit 2 Setpoint (D.L.S2) — Dmd Limit Switch
Setpoint 2 (0-100% total capacity)

4-20 mA Demand Limiting (DM.L.S = 2) — If the unit has
been configured for 4 to 20 mA demand limiting, then the

DEM.L). The Demand Limit at 20 mA
(D.L.20) configuration must be set. This is the configured
demand limit corresponding to a 20 mA input (0 to 100%).
The value of percentage reset is determined by a linear
interpolation from 0% to "D.L.20"% based on the Inputs
4-20
DML.M input value.
The following examples illustrate the demand limiting
(Run Status

CCN Loadshed Demand Limiting (DM.L.S = 3) — If the unit
has been configured for CCN Loadshed Demand Limiting,
then the demand limiting variable (Run Status
DEM.L) is controlled via CCN commands.
The relevant configurations for this type of demand limiting
are:
Loadshed Group Number (SH.NM) — CCN Loadshed Group
number
Loadshed Demand Delta (SH.DL) — CCN Loadshed
Demand Delta
Maximum Loadshed Time (SH.TM) — CCN Maximum
Loadshed time
The Loadshed Group Number (SH.NM) corresponds to
the loadshed supervisory device that resides elsewhere on
the CCN network and broadcasts loadshed and redline
commands to its associated equipment parts. The SH.NM
variable will default to zero which is an invalid group num-
ber. This allows the loadshed function to be disabled until
configured.
Upon reception of a redline command, the machine will be
prevented from starting if it is not running. If it is running,
then DEM.L is set equal to the current running cooling capac-
ity (Run Status
Upon reception of a loadshed command, the DEM.L vari-
able is set to the current running cooling capacity (Run Status
COOL
C.CAP) minus the configured Loadshed Demand
Delta (SH.DL).
A redline command or loadshed command will stay in
effect until a Cancel redline or Cancel loadshed command is
received, or until the configurable Maximum Loadshed time
(SH.TM) has elapsed.
HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL — Head pressure refers to
the refrigerant pressure at the discharge side of the compressor.
Thus it is sometimes refers to as "discharge pressure." Head
pressure control for shall be managed directly by the Com-
fortLink controls (no third party control).
The head pressure control stages fixed speed fans and mod-
ulating fans, if available, to maintain the head pressures of cir-
cuit A and circuit B within acceptable ranges. For controls pur-
pose, the head pressures are converted to saturated condensing
temperatures (SCTs) as the feedback information to the con-
denser fans (also referred to as "outdoor fans"). SCT.A is the
saturated condensing temperature for refrigeration Circuit A,
and SCT.B is the saturated condensing temperature for refriger-
ation Circuit B. There are a total of up to 6 condenser fans (de-
pending on unit size and installed options) for controlling the
head pressures of the 2 refrigeration circuits, of which up to 2
fans can be controlled by VFD(s) (variable frequency drive(s))
upon installation option.
The control described in this document is also referred to as
condenser fan control. Where Motormaster control is involved,
it may also referred to as low ambient control.
The low ambient control shall be directly implemented in the
ComfortLink software. It shall not be compatible with the exist-
ing Motormaster V control as found in CESR131343-07-xx and
