1. INTRODUCTION & PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 GENERAL The York Millennium Control Center is a microprocessor based control system for the YS range of screw compressor liquid chillers. The primary function of the control system is to adjust compressor slide valve position to controls the leaving chilled liquid temperature. The control system can also use slide valve control to limit drive motor current if required. User interface is via a colour coded keypad and a 40 character alphanumeric display allowing access to operating and programmed data. Information can be displayed in Metric or Imperial units. For clarity this manual uses Metric units only. Conversion tables are provided at the back of this manual. The following information can be accessed via the display : Chilled liquid temperatures leaving and return Condenser liquid temperatures leaving and return (customer option; field installed) Refrigerant pressures evaporator and condenser Saturation temperatures - evaporator and condenser Compressor discharge temperature Oil temperature Oil pressure Input to compressor Input to oil filter 3

Oil filter differential Differential oil (oil pressure evap pressure) 3-phase motor current & 3-phase power line voltage (with solid state starter only) Fault history data Motor current in % of full load amps Slide valve position in % of maximum travel Operating hours and compressor starts counter The system setpoints are operator entered via the keypad. These setpoints can also be displayed on the 40 character display. The system setpoints are: Leaving chilled liquid temperature % Current limit Chiller full load amps (with solid state starter only) Pull-down demand limit Clock (day, time, calendar date) Daily schedule (7 day time-clock programming) with provision for special holiday schedule Remote leaving chilled water temperature reset range Data logger auto interval and start time The cause of all system shutdowns (safety or cycling) is preserved (until the system is reset or restarts) in the on board memory for subsequent viewing on the keypad display. The operator is continually advised of system operating conditions by various background and warning

035L02377-GB0

messages. The keypad contains special service keys for use by the service technician when performing system troubleshooting. External interface is available for control of the chiller via a York ISN system. In addition, customer connections are provided for remote control of the following control system functions:

signals are converted to 0/+5VDC logic level signals for use by the Micro Board. The output of the Digital Input Board is interfaced directly to the Micro Board. The Relay Output Board interfaces the Micro Board outputs with the rest of the system. The logic level outputs of the Micro Board energize or de-energize DC relays on the relay output board. The contacts of these relays energize or de-energize the system 115VAC solenoids and relays. The remote status customer contacts are also located on this board. The Power Supply Board supplies DC power to all circuit boards. AC power arrives at the power supply board via a 115VAC to 24VAC step-down transformer. The Compressor Motor Starter |nterface circuits are mounted on an auxiliary internal panel in front of the Micro Board and allow the Center to monitor and control motor current as well as to monitor any starter faults. Two systems are available for connection: a Starter Logic Board for connection to the YORK Solid State Starter or a CM-2 Starter Module for connection to a Remote Electro-Mechanical Starter. The Starter Logic Board performs compressor motor overload and power fault protection in addition to solid state starter control functions. The logic board also provides 3 phase power line voltage and compressor motor current values to the Micro Board for low line voltage and current imbalance protection and front panel display. The CM-2 module performs compressor motor overload and power fault protection. The module also provides motor current values to the Micro Board, which can be displayed as percentage of full load current.

In addition to the standard remote control features, an optional card file with plug-in interface cards is available. These cards allow remote chilled liquid temperature setpoint offset and/or remote current limit setpoint interface using 4-20mA, 0-10 VDC, or contact closure signals rather than pulse width modulated signals. A main switch is provided to locally start or stop the chiller and to reset the control system after a manual reset shutdown by the safety controls.

1.2 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE The Micro Board contains the microprocessor and supporting digital logic and analog circuits. All system operating decisions are made on this board; such as when to open or close the slide valve, when to operate the oil line solenoid, when to shutdown on safety shutdowns, etc. All inputs and outputs connected to the Micro Board operate on +5VDC. The 115VAC input and output signals are connected to the Micro Board via the Digital Input Board and the Relay Output Board respectively System pressures and temperatures are sensed by transducers and thermistors respectively. The transducer and thermistor inputs are connected directly to the Micro Board and are multiplexed to allow sharing of a single analog to digital converter. The input values are compared to stored safety threshold values and, if exceeded, the Micro Board initiates a chiller shutdown. The Digital Input Board accepts 115VAC inputs from system relays and external devices such as chilled water pump interlocks, local/remote cycling devices, EMS, separator oil level switch, etc. These 0/115VAC input 4

1.3 SYSTEM COMPONENTS MICRO BOARD The Micro Board contains the microprocessor, external RAM for scratchpad memory, and an external EPROM storing the operating program. Operator entered system setpoints are stored in RAM in the Real Time Clock (RTC) chip where it is battery backed up. The RTC also stores and updates the time-of-day, day-of-week, and calendar date. System analog parameters (Pressures, Temperatures, and Motor Current) are input to the multiplexer (MUX) circuit then transmitted serially to the analog to digital converter where they are converted to digital signals. The Micro Board compares these values to stored safety thresholds and initiates a chiller shutdown if thresholds

are exceeded. These parameters can be viewed on the display if requested by the operator, transmitted via the RS-232 serial port to printer, or transmitted via RS-485 serial port to a YORK energy management system. The Micro Board also uses these parameters for leaving chilled water temperature control, current limit control and high/low pressure limit control via slide valve movement. An undervoltage detection circuit monitors the + 5VDC unregulated input from the power supply and compares this to a reference voltage. If the input voltage drops below the reference voltage threshold, the Micro Board initiates a chiller shutdown. The Micro Board will prevent a chiller restar t until the operator moves the COMPRESSOR switch to the STOP-RESET position and then to the START position. A watchdog circuit ensures that the complete program is executed every program cycle, preventing the program from looping in a subroutine and ignoring critical chiller 5

parameters. During each program cycle (approx. 100ms) a pulse is sent to the watchdog circuit starting a 2-second timer. If the watchdog circuit does not receive another pulse before the 2 seconds have elapsed a reset pulse is sent to the Micro Board. The Micro Board will then shut down the chiller, reinitialize the program and automatically restart the chiller. The Real Time Clock (RTC) chip stores and updates the time-of-day, day-of-week and calendar date. Any time the chiller shuts down on a safety or cycling shutdown, the Day and Time of shutdown is displayed along with the cause of shutdown. This Time information is also used to determine correct chiller start and stop times when the user programmable scheduler is used to automatically start and stop the chiller. The RTC chip contains a non-replaceable battery which powers the RTC RAM in the event of an AC power failure. All of the keypad programmable setpoints are stored in the RTC RAM. The life of this battery is 5-10 years. During each program cycle, the condition of the battery

1.

035L02377-GB0

is monitored and if a low battery condition is detected a warning is displayed that the chip must be replaced. POWER SUPPLY BOARD The power supply board provides the necessary operating voltages for all the circuit boards in the Microcomputer Control Center. Two switching regulators supply +12VDC and +10VDC to the Relay Output Board and Micro Board respectively. The 10VDC output is further regulated to + 5VDC for use by the vacuum fluorescent display. A voltage regulator supplies + 24VDC to the optional card file for use by the remote LCWT setpoint card and remote current limit setpoint card.

The power supply board also contains a Display Reset Circuit which outputs a reset signal to the Vacuum Fluorescent Display during low voltage conditions, preventing Latch-up conditions. This causes the display to go blank whenever the +5VDC regulated power supply output to the display drops below +4.7VDC. A step-down transformer (external to the power supply board) provides 24VAC to a bridge rectifier, the unregulated output (approx. 30VDC) of which is supplied to the Solid State Starter logic board or CM-2 module. These boards have their own on-board power supplies which supply the required voltages for these boards.

KEYPAD AND DISPLAY LAYOUT

DIGITAL INPUT BOARD The Digital Input Board converts 115VAC signals to +5VDC logic level signals for use by the Micro Board. When a digital input device closes, the 115VAC input is applied to a full wave rectifier. This unfiltered DC signal is then applied to an opto-coupler which switches on to allow + 5VDC to be dropped across the output resistor. A customer connection terminal strip on the Digital Input Board is used interfacing external signals (remote stop/start, remote cycling devices, etc.). The terminals are grouped together (according to function) with a 115VAC power source (terminal 1). The power source supplies voltage for externally located relay contacts, such as the flow switch which, when its contacts close, apply 115VAC to the revelent input terminal causing the Digital Input Board output to transition from OVDC to + 5VDC. The output will remain at + 5VDC as long as the flow switch is closed. For each terminal group, a 115VAC input signal causes a + 5VDC output level on the corresponding board output. A OVAC input causes a OVDC output. All outputs interface to the micro board via ribbon cable.

mounted relays each have one side of their relay coil connected to +12VDC regulated power supply. The other side of each coil is connected to the Micro Board which drives the appropriate connection to ground potential when it wants to energize a selected relay. A +12VDC level causes the output relay to de-energize. The normally open relay contacts are interfaced, via internal and customer terminal blocks to various external relays and solenoids. The internal connections are used for controlling the system start relay, system stop relay, some system safeties, system solenoids and the slide valve. The water temperature control circuits that control the slide valve are located on the Micro Board. These circuits control two triacs located on the relay output board; one to load the slide valve and one to unload the slide valve. The triacs are then interfaced to the load and unload slide valve solenoids. The external customer connections are used for field interface of system status contact closures, and chilled water pump contacts.

KEYPAD & DISPLAY RELAY OUTPUT BOARD The Relay Output Board allows the Micro Board to be interfaced to 115VAC output signals. The ten board7 The Control Center front panel layout consists of a 40 character display, a number of groups of keys and a rotary compressor switch as follows :

1.

035L02377-GB0

Display - The 40 character, vacuum fluorescent, dot matrix display is used to view all messages, parameters, set points, and data. Status Key - This key is used to access background status, warning and fault messages about the chiller. Display Keys - These keys provide a direct read out of each monitored parameter on the alphanumeric display. Entry Keys - These keys are used to enter the values for the operator programmed setpoints. Setpoints Keys - These keys are used to view each setpoint, in any MODE, or to select the individual setpoints that are programmed by the operator in Program MODE. Service Keys - These keys are provided for use in some service operations and for trouble shooting by qualified service personnel. Access Code / Program / Mode Keys - These keys allow access to program the Control Center Setpoints and the control system operating modes. Compressor Switch - This 3-position rotary switch is used to start (except in remote mode), stop and reset the system.

SOLID STATE STARTER LOGIC BOARD If the Microcomputer Control Center is to be used with a solid state starter, a Solid State Starter Logic Board is fitted, mounted on a hinged panel inside the Control Center. This module provides compressor motor current Overload and Power Fault protection as well as 3-phase current and voltage information to the Micro Board. CM-2 CURRENT MODULE If the Microcomputer Control Center is to be used with an electromechanical starter, a CM-2 current module is fitted, mounted on a hinged panel inside the Control Center. This module provides compressor motor current Overload and Power Fault protection. The 100% FLA motor current signal is calibrated on this board and multiplexed to the Micro Board for use in current limit control and display purposes. Three CTs mounted in the motor terminal box provide 3 phase motor current signals to a diode bridge mounted on the hinged panel adjacent to the CM-2 module. The bridge rectifies the signal and applies it to two parallel variable resistors, also mounted on the hinged panel. The resistors are adjusted to provide a 1VDC signal to the CM-2 module when the compressor motor is at 100% FLA. On the CM-2 module, this signal is applied to a power fault detector circuit.

2. BASIC OPERATION
2.1 STARTUP The chiller is permitted to start only if there are no Safety or Cycling shutdown conditions in effect and the slide valve position is less than 10 % open (30% if hot gas bypass is fitted - program jumper JP4 removed). When these conditions are met the following message is displayed on the 40 character display at the keypad:
SYSTEM READY TO START

2.2 NORMAL RUNNING AND CYCLING After the chiller has been running for 3 minutes, and providing all operating parameters are within programmed limits the following message is displayed:
SYSTEM RUN - LEAVING TEMP. CONTROL

As required, a 1 second load or unload signal is applied at 10 second intervals to maintain the leaving chilled water temperature to the programmed setpoint. Each chiller is fitted with a solenoid valve in parallel with the main fixed refrigerant flow control orifice. This solenoid valve is used to create a variable orifice which is opened and closed while the chiller is running in order of the following priorities : a) If discharge superheat falls below 8.3C (R22), 5.5C (R134a) the solenoid valve is closed until the superheat rises to more than 11.1C (R22), 8.3C (R134a). b) If evaporator pressure falls below a preprogrammed limit the solenoid valve opens until the pressure rises by approximately 80kPa. c) If the differential between condenser pressure and evaporator pressure falls below a preprogrammed setpoint, the solenoid valve is opened until the differential rises to more than 690kPa above setpoint. If the chiller is fitted with hot-gas bypass unloading, after the chiller has been running 3 minutes, the hot gas valve is opened and closed based on the difference between the entering chilled liquid temperature and the leaving chilled liquid temperature setpoint. The differential at which it is opened and closed is determined by preprogrammed setpoints within the range of 0.5C to 5.5C opening and 1.1C to 8.3C closing. The chiller can operate in three cooling modes: water cooling, glycol (brine) cooling and ice storage. These modes operate as follows :

When the compressor switch is moved to the Start position, a 30 second start sequence is initiated and the following is displayed :
SYSTEM START SEQUENCE INITIATED

The oil line solenoid valve (S0-S3 chillers only) is energized (opened) for 15 seconds then closed. Also for the first 15 second period, a pressure transducer auto-zeroing sequence is performed. The output of the oil pressure transducer is compared to the output of the evaporator transducer. In an equalised system these transducers are sensing the same pressure and should give the same reading. The Control Center identifies any difference between the measurements and adds or subtracts this, as required, from the differential value while the system is running. This same auto-zeroing is performed between the oil pressure transducer and the filter oil pressure transducer. After 25 seconds monitoring of the chilled liquid flow switch flow switch begins. At the completion of the 30 second start sequence, the oil line solenoid valve (S0-S3 chillers only) is energized, the start signal is sent to the motor starter, and the following message is displayed :
SYSTEM RUN

At this time, to ensure development of oil pressure, a continuous load signal is applied to the slide valve until it achieves a position of 25%. For the first 3 minutes of running this slide valve position is maintained by applying a load signal if the valve position drops to 22% until a the 25% position is again reached. Only Current Limit function, Low and High Pressure Limit functions and manual slide valve operation in Service Mode can cause the slide valve to drop below 22% during the first 3 minutes of chiller operation. After 3 minutes a programmable pull-down demand function is available to allow the maximum motor current to be limited for a specific period from compressor startup. When programmed, this limit takes priority over the Current Limit Setpoint, allowing different settings to apply to pull-down and to normal running. 9

Water Cooling Mode In this mode the leaving chilled liquid temperature setpoint can be programmed within the range 3.3C to 21.1C. If the leaving chilled liquid temperature falls more than 2.2C below the setpoint, a cycling shutdown is initiated and the following message is displayed:
DAY-TIME - LOW WATER TEMPERATURE - AUTOSTART

The chiller automatically restarts when the temperature rises to a programmable value between 0C and 5.5C above the setpoint. If the setpoint is increased with the chiller running, the shutdown threshold becomes 3.3C for 10 minutes. This prevents shut down when the setpoint is increased.

2.

035L02377-GB0

Glycol Cooling Mode Operation in glycol cooling mode is similar to that in water cooling mode except that the leaving chilled liquid temperature setpoint is programmable in the range -6.7C to 21.1C. If the setpoint is increased with the chiller running in glycol mode, the shutdown threshold remains at its previous programmed value for the next 10 minutes. Ice Storage Mode Ice storage mode is an operating mode within the glycol cooling mode which allows the chiller to make ice at the fastest possible rate by inhibiting unload outputs to the slide valve. This causes the chiller to load until it shuts down on low leaving temperature at 2.2C below the setpoint. No unload outputs are applied to the slide valve unless the motor current exceeds the programmed current limit setpoint threshold. In ice storage mode, ice storage operation is automatically selected when the leaving chilled liquid temperature setpoint of 0C or lower is programmed. Normal glycol cooling operation will resume when a setpoint of more than 0C is programmed. The chiller can be switched between the two modes locally, or remotely by use of the leaving chilled liquid temperature setpoint offset function.

The temperature offset above setpoint at which the chiller will automatically restar t can be independently programmed between 0C and 5.5C for both glycol and ice storage modes. 2.3 SHUTDOWN If the chiller shuts down on a cycling shutdown, it will automatically restart when the condition that caused the shutdown no longer exists. Safety shutdowns require the operator to perform a manual reset at the keypad before restart is allowed. The event that caused the shutdown is either displayed automatically or can be viewed when the STATUS key is pressed. Any time the chiller shuts down, for any reason, it cannot be restarted for 2 minutes. During this period the following message is displayed:
2.0 MIN LOCKOUT DELAY

The chiller can be shutdown manually at any time by turning the compressor switch to the STOP position.

operating mode - see Section 8.2. To start the chiller locally, turn the Compressor Switch to the Start position then release it. The switch will spring-return to Run position and the compressor start sequence will be initiated. Run Position During normal operation the Compressor Switch should be in the Run position. This will allow the compressor to run whenever the automatic controls require, or to restart automatically after a cycling shutdown. Stop/Reset Position The chiller can be stopped locally, regardless of operating mode, by turning the Compressor Switch to the Stop/Reset position. Once in this position, the chiller can only be started, locally or remotely, by locally turning the switch back to the Run position. In this way the switch operates as the chiller emergency stop device and cannot be overridden remotely. Following a safety shutdown (and identification and rectification of the problem) the operator is required to reset the Control Center prior to restarting the system. This is achieved by turning the Compressor Switch from Run to the Stop/Reset position, then back to the Run position.

Service Mode Service mode enables the Slide Valve control keys and the Warning Reset key in the Service keys Section of the keypad - see Section 7.

9. STATUS KEY & STATUS MESSAGES


9.1 GENERAL The Millennium Control Center constantly monitors a wide range of functions and parameters while the chiller is in operation. The Control Center then uses numerous algorithms to keep the operating parameters within acceptable limits while maintaining the correct leaving chilled liquid temperature. Various types of status messages are displayed at the keypad display to inform the operator of the current operating status of the chiller. The messages are automatically displayed unless the operator is requesting other information via the keypad. Status messages fall into three general categories as follows: Status Messages - Chiller Running While the chiller is running System Run messages advise which condition is currently controlling the chiller load status as follows:
SYSTEM RUN -

If the shutdown was caused by a safety limit then the chiller must be reset at the Compressor Switch then given a new start signal before it can resume operation. If the chiller has been reset but a local or remote start signal has not yet been received, the following message is displayed:
SYSTEM READY TO START - PRESS STATUS

The reason for the shutdown or any warning messages can be displayed by pressing the Status key. These can be cleared from the display by entering Service Mode and pressing the Warning Reset key. They will be automatically cleared by initiating a compressor start. Status Messages - Startup & Shutdown Sequences During the short periods immediately before and after startup and shutdown, status messages are displayed giving information regarding the sequence. Backup Battery Condition Message In the event of a power failure, a battery in the real time clock chip (RTC - U16 on micro board) provides backup power to the memory to ensure programmed setpoints are retained. The following message indicates that the battery is defective and that the chip should be replaced:
REPLACE RTC, U16 - REPROGRAM SETPOINTS

MESSAGE

Background Warning messages advise of potential problems with the chiller. When a warning status exists the operator will be advised to press the Status key by the following message:
SYSTEM RUN - PRESS STATUS

The warning message will then be displayed:


WARNING :

If there had been a power failure while this message is displayed, the setpoints will have been lost and must be reprogrammed. 9.2 SYSTEM RUN STATUS MESSAGES Leaving Chilled Liquid Temperature Control
SYSTEM RUN - LEAVING TEMP. CONTROL

If the Status key is pressed without being instructed to by the Press Status prompt, the following message is displayed:
NO MALFUNCTION DETECTED

Status Messages - Chiller Not Running When the chiller is idle and all conditions for commencement of operation are met the following message is displayed:
SYSTEM READY TO START

This message is displayed when the chiller is operating normally and the compressor slide valve is being controlled to maintain the correct leaving chilled liquid temperature. Low Load Limit Control
SYSTEM RUN - MINIMUM LOAD CONTROL

When the chiller has been running and then has shutdown again, System Shutdown messages advise the time and reason for the shutdown and also if the chiller will automatically restart when conditions allow:
DAY TIME - REASON FOR SHUTDOWN (AUTOSTART)

In general shutdowns are caused by cycling conditions such as low chilled liquid leaving temperature or daily start/stop schedule and restart will be automatic.

This message is displayed if after more than 3 minutes of operation the motor current drops to less than a minimum allowable limit. This limit is preprogrammed between 15% and 70% FLA, depending on application, and is used to avoid the possibility of separator oil loss due to excessively low load. While this message is displayed, a 1 second load signal is applied to the slide valve every 3 seconds until the motor current is greater than or equal to the programmed setpoint plus 2%. 23

High Load Limit Control


SYSTEM RUN - LOAD LIMIT IN EFFECT

which is calculated as follows: Minimum Slide Valve Position (%) = (Cond. press - Evap. Press - 227) / 56.2 At this position the slide valve is inhibited from unloading. Below this position the slide valve load solenoid will be driven by 0.1 second pulses at 0.5 second intervals until the minimum slide valve position is reached. Service Mode Slide Valve Control
SYSTEM RUN - AUTO SLIDE VALVE SYSTEM RUN - SLIDE VALVE LOADING SYSTEM RUN - SLIDE VALVE HOLDING SYSTEM RUN - SLIDE VALVE UNLOADING

On some compressor / heat exchanger combinations, operating at extreme conditions, it is possible to overload the oil separator at high leaving chilled liquid temperatures. To prevent this some chillers are preprogrammed with a motor current limit between 60% and 100% FLA, depending on application, which is in effect until the leaving chilled liquid temperature is less than a second preprogrammed limit between 100C and 21.10C. High Motor Current Limit Control
SYSTEM RUN - CURRENT LIMIT IN EFFECT

This message is displayed when the chiller is running, and the motor current is equal-to or greater-than the operator programmed current limit value. When the motor current reaches 100% of this value, the slide valve is not permitted to load further. If the current continues to rise to 104% of this value, the slide valve will be unloaded just far enough to reduce the current to less than 104% of the operator programmed current limit. High Condenser Pressure Limit Control
SYSTEM RUN - HIGH PRESSURE LIMIT IN EFFECT

These messages are displayed when the chiller is operating in Service Mode and the slide valve position is being controlled by leaving chilled liquid temperature (Auto) or is being manually controlled - see Section 6.2. Low Superheat Limit Control
SYSTEM RUN - EXCESS CHARGE OVERRIDE

This message is displayed when the chiller is running and the condenser pressure rises to 1733kPa. The slide valve is inhibited from further loading to prevent system shutdown on high condenser pressure at 1862kPa. When the condenser pressure falls to 1724kPa the slide valve will again be permitted to load. Low Evaporator Pressure Limit Control
SYSTEM RUN - LOW PRESSURE LIMIT IN EFFECT

This message is displayed if after more than 3 minutes of operation the discharge gas superheat is less than or equal to 5.6C (R22); 2.8C (R134a). When this occurs the slide valve is inhibited from loading. If the condition exists continuously for more than 10 seconds, the slide valve unload solenoid will be driven with 0.5 second pulses at 3 second intervals until the discharge gas superheat is equal to or greater than 8.3C whereupon the following message is displayed:
SYSTEM RUN - PRESS STATUS

This message is displayed when the chiller is running and the evaporator pressure falls to 388kPa (R22); 186kPa (R134a). The slide valve is prevented from further loading to prevent shutdown on low- evaporator pressure at 374kPa (R22); 172kPa (R134a). When evaporator pressure rises to 397kPa (R22); 193kPa (R134a), the slide valve will again be permitted to load.

Pressing the status key produces the following message:


WARNING : EXCESS REFRIGERANT CHARGE

This message automatically clears when the condition clears. 9.3 SYSTEM RUN WARNING MESSAGES Certain fault conditions may occur while the chiller is running which cannot be corrected by adjusting the slide valve control, but do not require a safety shutdown of the chiller. In these cases a warning message is issued to advise the operator of the condition. The following message is displayed instructing the operator to press the Status key :
SYSTEM RUN - PRESS STATUS

Note: this limit control is not used when Micro Board program jumper JP3 is removed for low temperature glycol applications.

MON 10 : 00 AM - MOTOR CONTROLLER - EXT. RESET

The chiller is shut down because the low evaporator pressure safety switch contacts have opened. On glycol (brine) applications a this separate low pressure switch is located external to the Control Center and has cutout settings appropriate to the application. Restart is allowed when the pressure rises above the switch reset setting and both the safety switch and the chiller are reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - HIGH PRESSURE

The chiller is shut down because the solid state starter, or electromechanical current module (CM-2) indicated a fault. Restart occurs automatically for the following fault conditions: 1. Solid State Starter - power fault, 110F start inhibit, phase rotation/loss, out of lock. 2. Electromechanical Starter current module - power fault (see POWER FAULT - AUTOSTART). For other fault conditions the external device which caused the shutdown must be reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - SLIDE VALVE ABOVE 10%

The chiller is shut down because condenser pressure has risen to 1862kPa and the high pressure safety control contacts (located on the condenser) have opened. Restart is allowed when pressure has dropped below the switch reset setting (1448kPa) and both the safety switch and the chiller are reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - HIGH DISCHARGE TEMP

The chiller is shut down because the discharge temperature has reached 100C Restart is allowed when the temperature has fallen below 99.4C and the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - HIGH OIL TEMP

The chiller is shutdown and this message is displayed if one of the following occurs: 1. A chiller start was initiated but the slide valve position was greater than 10%. 2. The chiller was shut down by any stop signal but the slide valve did not return to a position of less than 10% within the 2 minute lockout period.

The chiller is shut down because the oil temperature has reached 76.7C Restart is allowed when the temperature has fallen below 76.1C and the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - LOW OIL PRESSURE

Note : if the micro board jumper JP4 is not connected (hot gas bypass fitted), this shutdown and message occurs at a slide valve position of 30%
REMOTE STOP

The chiller is shut down because the differential oil pressure (oil pressure at inlet to compressor - evaporator pressure) was less than 138 kPa when the chiller had been running for more than 3 minutes. Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - LOW SEPARATOR OIL LEVEL

The chiller is shut down because it is operating in Remote Mode and a remote device (typically an Energy Management System or Building Automation System) has commanded the chiller to shut down. Restart occurs on application of a separate start signal from the remote device.

The chiller is shut down because the separator oil level switch has opened continuously for more than 30 seconds, indicating a low oil level in the separator. Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - CLOGGED OIL FILTER

Safety Shutdown Messages Safety shutdowns require the operator to manually reset the chiller at the Compressor Switch after rectification of the fault - see Section 7.3.

The chiller is shut down because the oil filter differential pressure exceeded 172kPa continuously for more than 5 seconds. Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - OIL PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

The chiller is shut down because the transducer sensing oil pressure at the inlet to the compressor indicated 2069kPa or more. Restart will be allowed when the pressure has fallen below 2062kPa and the chiller is 26

035L02377-GB0 reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - FAULTY OIL OR CONDENSER XDCR

STARTUP/RUNDOWN STATUS MESSAGES

The chiller is shut down because the transducer sensing oil pressure at the inlet to the compressor indicated more than 138kPa above condenser pressure condenser pressure transducer reading for more than 10 minutes continuously. Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - EVAP TRANS OR PROBE ERROR

The following status messages are displayed for short periods immediately before or after chiller run periods:
START SEQUENCE INITIATED

The chiller is shut down because the evaporation saturation temperature (calculated from the evaporator pressure transducer reading) is more than 13.9C below or more than 1.4C above the leaving chilled liquid temperature for more than 10 minutes continuously. Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.

Indicates the Control Center has received a local or remote start signal and has initiated the chiller start sequence. Message is displayed for 30 seconds while pressure transducers are auto-zeroed.
2.0 MINUTE LOCKOUT DELAY

Note : on low temperature glycol applications (micro board jumper JP3 out) this check is not performed at evaporator pressures below 341kPa. If hot gas bypass is also fitted (micro board jumpers JP3 and JP4 out) this check is not performed at all.
MON 10 : 00 AM - FAULTY DISCHARGE TEMP SENSOR

This message is displayed any time the chiller shuts down. It indicates that a 2 minute restart delay is in effect. While the delay is in effect, the message will indicate the time remaining in 0.1 minute steps. This delay allows system pressures to equalize so that the pressure transducers can be auto-zeroed during the start sequence. If the shutdown was caused by a safety limit then the chiller must be reset at the Compressor Switch then given a new start signal before it can resume operation. If the chiller has been reset but a local or remote start signal has not been received yet, the following message is displayed:
2.0 MINUTE LOCKOUT DELAY - PRESS STATUS

The chiller is shut down because the discharge temperature sensor reading is lower than -1.2C or is disconnected. Restart is allowed when the sensor reading is above -1.1C and chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - AUX SAFETY SHUTDOWN

The reason for the shutdown or any warning messages can be displayed by pressing the Status key.
ANTI-RECYCLE, XX MIN LEFT

The system is shut down because an external auxiliary safety shutdown device, connected to digital input board, has initiated a system shutdown. This input is a general purpose input that can be used to indicate a user-defined safety shutdown. Restart is allowed when the external device and the chiller are reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - STARTER MALFUNCTION DETECTED

The chiller may not restart more frequently than every 30 minutes. This message is displayed if the chiller is shut down at less than 30 minutes from startup and shows the time remaining on the anti-recycle timer. In normal operation, the chiller cannot be restarted until the timer reaches zero.

The chiller is shut down because the Control Center has detected a motor-current value greater than 15% FLA for more than 10 seconds while the compressor start signal is not energized. Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - MTR PHASE CURRENT UNBALANCE

(Solid State Starter Applications Only) The chiller is shut down because one of the motor line currents was more than 30% different from the average line current for more than 45 seconds (the current balance is only checked when the motor has been running for more than 45 seconds and the motor current is 80% FLA or greater). Restart is allowed when the chiller is reset.
MON 10 : 00 AM - POWER FAILURE

The chiller is shut down because there has been a power interruption or failure. Restart is allowed when power is restored and the chiller is reset. 27
