Features of the Control Panel
Control of leaving chilled water within a 0.5F (0.3C) tolerance. Systems with a
large water volume and relatively slow load changes can do better.
Readout of the following temperature and pressure readings:
Entering and leaving chilled water temperature
Entering and leaving condenser water temperature
Saturated evaporator refrigerant temperature and pressure
Saturated condenser temperature and pressure
Suction line, liquid line and discharge line temperatures - calculated superheat for
discharge and suction lines calculated subcooling for liquid line
Oil sump temperature - oil feed temperature and pressure
Optional condenser heat recovery temperature
Automatic control of primary and standby evaporator and condenser pumps.
Control of up to 4 stages of cooling tower fans plus modulating bypass valve and/or
tower fan VFD.
The controller will store and display key historic operating data for recall in a graphic
format on the screen. Data can also be exported for archival purposes via a USB port.
Three levels of security protection against unauthorized changing of setpoints and other
control parameters.
Warning and fault diagnostics to inform operators of warning and fault conditions in
plain language. Al1 warnings, problems and faults are time and date stamped so there is
no guessing of when the fault condition occurred. In addition, the operating conditions
that existed just prior to shutdown can be recalled to aid in isolating the cause of the
problem.
Twenty-five latest faults are displayed on the unit controller, eight can be displayed on
the touch screen. Data can be exported for archival purposes via a 3.5-inch floppy drive.
Soft loading feature reduces electrical consumption and peak demand charges during
loop pulldown.
Adjustable load pull-down rate reduces under-shoot during loop pulldown.
Remote input signals for chilled water reset, demand limiting, unit enable.
Manual control mode allows the service technician to command the unit to different
operating states. Useful for system checkout.
BAS communication capability via LONMARK, Modbus or BACnet standard
protocols for BAS manufacturers.
Service Test mode for troubleshooting controller hardware.
Pressure transducers for direct reading of system pressures. Preemptive control of high
motor amps, low evaporator pressure conditions and high discharge temperature takes
corrective action prior to a fault trip.

General Description
General Description
The centrifugal MicroTech control system consists of microprocessor-based controllers
that provide all monitoring and control functions required for the controlled, efficient
operation of the chiller. The system consists of the following components:
Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS), one per unit-provides unit information and is
the primary setpoint input instrument. It has no control function.
Unit Controller, one per chiller-controls unit functions and communicates with all other
controllers. It is the secondary location for setpoint input if the Interface Screen is
inoperative. It is located in a panel adjacent to the OITS.
Compressor Controller for each compressor on a chiller-controls compressor functions
and can operate a compressor without the unit controller or Operator Interface Panel.
The controller is located in a panel adjacent to the compressor.
The operator can monitor all operating conditions by using the unit-mounted OITS. In
addition to providing all normal operating controls, the MicroTech II control system
monitors equipment protection devices on the unit and will take corrective action if the
chiller is operating outside of its normal design conditions. If a fault condition develops,
the controller will shut the compressor or entire unit down and activate an alarm output.
Important operating conditions at the time an alarm condition occurs are retained in the
controllers history log to aid in troubleshooting and fault analysis.
The system is protected by a password scheme that only allows access by authorized
personnel. The operator must enter the password into the touch screen (or one of the
controller's keypad) before any setpoints can be altered.
NOTE: It is important to understand that the OITS is the operator interface device under
normal conditions. If, and only if, it is unavailable, the unit controller can be used to
operate the chiller. Furthermore, if the unit controller is unavailable, the compressor
controller(s) will still operate the compressors and try to maintain chilled water
temperature. Certain data and operability will not be available under either of these
operating modes. If the MicroTech II controller controls the tower and system pumps, they
will have to run manually during this emergency situation.

Component Description
Operator Interface Touch Screen

The operator interface touch screen (OITS) is the primary
device by which commands and entries into the control system
are made. It also displays all controller data and information
on a series of graphic screens. A single OITS is used on both
single and dual compressor units.
The control panel contains a USB port that can be used for
loading information to and from the controll system.
The OITS panel is mounted on a moveable arm to allow
placement in a convenient position for the operator.
There is a screen-saver programed into the system. The screen
is reactivated by touching it anywhere.
Unit/Compressor Controller Description
Hardware Structure
The controller is fitted with a 16-bit microprocessor for running the control program. There
are terminals for connection to the controlled devices (for example: solenoid valves, tower
fans, pumps). The program and settings are saved permanently in FLASH memory,
preventing data loss in the event of power failure without requiring a back-up battery.
The controller connects to other controllers and the OITS via a local communications
network (p-LAN). It also has remote communication access capability for BAS interface.
Keypad
A 4 line by 20 character/line liquid crystal display and 6-button keypad is mounted on the
unit and compressor controllers. Its layout is shown below.
RedFault
Key-to-Screen MENU Key
Light
ARROW ENTER
The four arrow keys (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) have three modes of use.
Scroll between data screens in the direction indicated by the arrows (default mode).
Select a specific data screen in the menu matrix using dynamic labels on the right side
of the display such as ALARM, VIEW, etc (this mode is entered by pressing the
MENU key). For ease of use, a pathway connects the appropriate button to its
respective label on the screen.
Change field values in setpoint programming mode according to the following table:
LEFT key = Default RIGHT key = Cancel
UP key = Increase (+) DOWN key = Decrease (-)
These four programming functions are indicated by one-character abbreviation on the
right side of the display. This programming mode is entered by pressing the ENTER
key.

Software
The same model controller is used as either a unit controller or a compressor controller.
The controller operation is determined by the setting of the controller pLAN address.
These settings are all made in the factory during unit testing. Settings are different with
multiple chillers and will be set by the startup technician.
The operating software is revised occasionally. The version residing in a given control is
identified on the screen at boot-up or can be viewed at any time by pressing the Right and
Up Arrows simultaneously. It is also displayed on the OITS SERVICE screen.
Unit Controller
There is one unit controller mounted on the chiller that serves both compressor units.
Unit and compressor on/off switches are mounted in the unit controller panel located
adjacent to the OITS panel. They are designated 1 for on and O for off. The compressor
on/off switch should only be used when an immediate stop is required since the normal
shut down sequence is bypassed.
The switch panel also has a circuit breaker that interrupts power to the cooling tower fans,
valves and evaporator and condenser pumps, if any of these are tied into the MicroTech II
for control of their operation. If these components operate independently from the chiller
control, the breaker has no effect.
There is an emergency shutdown switch located on the left outside of the panel that causes
an immediate shutdown of both compressors.
The unit controller's primary function is processing data relating to the entire chiller unit
operation, as compared to data relating to the compressor operation. The unit controller
processes information and sends data to other controllers and devices and relays
information to the OITS for graphic display. It has a 4x20 LCD display and keys for
accessing data and changing setpoints. The LCD can display most of the same information
as the OITS and can operate the chiller independently if the OITS is not available. Inputs
and outputs are shown in the following tables.

Compressor Controller
The compressor controller's primary function is controlling and protecting the compressor.
No setpoint inputs are made with it. There is one compressor controller for each
compressor on a dual chiller unit. The compressor controller receives, processes, and
sends data to other controllers and devices and to the compressor starter or variable
frequency drive (VFD). With some operator intervention the compressor controller can
operate the compressor(s) if the unit controller and/or the operator interface touch screen
are unavailable. Inputs and outputs are as follows:

Motor Temperature Controller(Only high voltage unit)

Motor temperature controller, it provides compressor internal motor temperature
monitoring and feedback, when the motor temperature is higher than the set, compressor
will be offline. The controller (pLAN address is 0) is installed in the motor box.
Motor temperature controller requires only analog inputs: motor temperature [(10k NTC
@ 25 C)]
Signal Converter Board

On medium voltage starters, the AC current signal generated by the starter is converted by
the separate signal board into a 0-5 VDC signal that is directly proportional to the
compressor motor amp draw. The amp draw signal is sent to the compressor controller.
On low voltage starters, the D3 starter feature eliminates the need for this board.
Transducer Converter Board

The transducer converter board converts the pressure transducer signal to the correct
voltage signal and relates it to the compressor controller.
pLAN Isolator
Provides voltage isolation on the pLAN (RS485) when interconnecting chillers on the
pLAN.

Dual/Multi-Chiller Operation
Multiple Chiller Setup

Single compressor chillers HTS and dual compressor chillers HTD and HTC have their
main control components factory wired to an internal pLAN network so that they can
communicate with each other,within the chiller itself.
On multi-chiller applications, up to four chillers, either single, or dual compressor, can be
interconnected by this internal pLAN. All that is required is simple field RS485
interconnecting wiring, the addition of accessory communication isolation board(s)
485OPDR (DAIKIN P/N 330276202), and some MicroTech II control settings (see special
HTC instructions at the end of this section). The 485OPDR isolation board can be
purchased with the unit or separately, during or after chiller installation. The number of
chillers minus one boards are required.
pLAN Setup
Interconnecting MicroTech II pLAN RS485 wiring should be installed by the installing
contractor prior to start-up. TheDAIKIN start-up technician will check the connections
and make the necessary set point settings.
1. With no pLAN connections between chillers, disconnect chiller control power and
set the pLAN address as shown in Table9.
2. With all manual switches off, turn on control power to each chiller and set each
OITS address .
3. Verify correct nodes on each OITS Service Screen.
4. Connect chillers together (pLAN, RS485 wiring) as shown in Figure3. The first
chiller in the connection can be designated as Chiller A. The isolation board is
attached to the DIN rail adjacent to the Chiller A unit controller. The isolation
board has a pigtail that is plugged into J10 on the controller. Most chillers will
already have a universal communication module (UCM) that connects the
controller to the touchscreen already plugged onto J10. If this is the case, plug the
isolation module pigtail into the empty RJ11 pLAN port on the UCM. This is
equivalent to plugging into the unit controller directly.
Next, interconnecting wiring is needed between Chiller A and Chiller B.
Two Chillers: If only two chillers are to be connected, Belden M9841 (RS 485 Spec
Cable) is wired from the 485OPDR isolation board (terminals A, B, and C) on Chiller
A to the J11 port on the unit controller of Chiller B. At J11, the shield connects to
GND, the blue/white wire to the (+) connection, and the white/blue to the (-)
connection.
Note that Chiller B does not have an isolation board. The last chiller (B in this case) to
be connected does not need an isolation board.
Three or Four Chillers: If three or more chillers are to be connected, the
interconnecting wiring is still made to Chiller Bs J11 port. The second chiller (Chiller
B) must have a 485OPDR isolator board that will be plugged into Chiller Bs UCM
pLAN port. Chiller B will look like Chiller A.
The wiring from Chiller B to Chiller C will be the same as A to B. That is, Belden
cable connects from A, B, and C on Bs 485OPDR board to chiller Cs L11 port.
Chiller C has no 485OPDR isolation board.
The procedure is repeated to the fourth chiller if four chillers are interconnected.
5. Verify correct nodes on each OITS Service Screen.

Figure 3, Communication Wiring
NOTE: A fourth chiller, Chiller D would be connected to chiller C same as chiller C to chiller B.

NOTES for pLAN multi-chiller communication setup:
1. Up to four single or dual compressors can be interconnected.
2. Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS) setting is not a DIP switch setting. The OITS address is
selected by selecting the service set screen. Then, with the Technician level password active,
select the pLAN Comm button. Buttons A(7), B(15), C(23), D(31) will appear in the middle of
the screen, then select the letters for the OITS address for the chiller that it is on. Then close the
screen. Note that A is the default setting from the factory.
3. For the pCo3 controller,the pLAN address can only be confirmed as follows:
A) Disconnect pLAN (connectors J10 and J11) from all pCo3 controller(s).
B) Cycle power to the controller and then hold down both the Left Arrow (alarm) and the Up
Arrow keys simultaneously as the controller completes its Self-Test routine. The controller
will then show you the present pLAN address of the controller. Verify that the pLAN
address matches the desired address from the above table (Dec. rows). If the address needs
to be changed, follow the instructions displayed on the pCo3 controllers LCD display.
Press enter when done.
C) Only after all controllers pLAN addresses have been set/confirmed can the pLAN network
connectors be re-connected.
MicroTech II Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS) Settings

Settings for any type of linked multiple compressor operation must be made to the MicroTech II controller.
Settings on a dual compressor unit are made in the factory prior to shipment, but must be verified in the
field before startup. Settings for multiple chiller installations are set in the field on the Operator Interface
Touch Screen as follows:
Maximum Compressors ON SETPOINTS - MODES screen, Selection #10 = 2 for a dual, 4 for 2 duals,
3 for three separate, single compressor chillers, etc. If all compressors in the system are to be available as
normal running compressors, then the value entered in #10 should equal the total number of compressors.
If any compressors are for standby and not operated in normal rotation, they should not be included in the
compressor count in Selection #10. The Max Comp ON setting can be made in only one touchscreen, the
system will observe the highest number set on all chillers-it is a global setting.
Sequence and Staging SETPOINTS - MODES screen, Selection #12 & #14; #11 & #13. Sequence sets
the sequence in which compressors will start. Setting one or more compressors to 1 evokes the
automatic lead/lag feature and is the normal setting. The compressor with least starts will start first and
the compressor with maximum hours will stop first, and so on. Units with higher numbers will stage on in
sequence.
The Modes setpoints will do several different types of operation (Normal, Efficiency, Standby, etc.) as
described in the operating manual.
The same Modes setting must be replicated on each chiller in the system.
Nominal Capacity SETPOINTS - MOTOR screen, Selection #10. The setting is the compressor design
tons. Compressors on dual units are always of equal capacity.
Operating Sequence
For multiple-chiller, parallel operation, the MicroTech II controllers are tied together by a pLAN network
and stage and control compressor loading among the chillers. Each compressor, single or dual compressor
14
chiller, will stage on or off depending on the sequence number programmed into it. For example, if all are
set to 1, the automatic lead/lag will be in effect.
When chiller #1 is fully loaded, the leaving chilled water temperature will rise slightly. When the Delta-T
above setpoint reaches the Staging Delta-T, the next chiller scheduled to start will receive a start signal and
start its pumps if they are set up to be controlled by the MicroTech controller. This procedure is repeated
until all chillers are running. The compressors will load-balance themselves.
If any of the chillers in the group are dual compressor, they will stage and load according to the staging
instructions.
HTC Settings
Since the HTC is essentially two chillers combined into one counterflow, single pass, dual-circuit chiller,
the compressor on the downstream circuit (leaving water tempreture which will be controlled) must
always be designated as the lead compressor-first on, last off.
15
Ice Mode Operation
If available modes is set to ICE only the chiller will start (at start delta t) and run the Ice cycle described
as follows: The chiller will ignore softload and all Demand limits and rapidly load up to Maximum
Amps setpoint. The compressor(s) do not unload. If the chiller has dual compressors (HTD), the lead
compressor will unload approx. one minute after starting to allow the second compressor to start (at
reduced lift pressure), then both compressors will load to Max Amps. When both compressors have
achieved the Ice LWT setpoint both compressors will shutdown. The Evap pump will continue to run
and if the Evap LWT climbs to the Start Delta T the chiller will restart this process.
The following failsafe feature has been incorporated into the code. If one compressor reaches the Stop
Delta Temp (below the setpoint) before the other compressor has achieved the setpoint, both compressors
will shutdown.
If available modes is set to Cool/Ice with Ice mode operation selected, the chiller will run one ICE cycle
and shutdown (compressors and pumps) no automatic restart allowed. When the operator switches the
chiller from Ice to Cool mode the chiller will reset for operation. Changing modes can be done through
the OITS, switches or BAS interface, which ever is selected.
Some sort of migration freeze protection needs to be in place when the chiller terminates ice mode. This
is usually sensed by the liquid line sensor and forces a condenser pump to circulate to prevent freeze up
of the condenser.
Operator Interface Touch Screen
Navigation
The home screen shown in VIEW screen is usually left on (there is a screen-saver built in that is
reactivated by touching the screen anywhere). This VIEW screen contains the STOP and AUTO buttons
used to start and stop the unit when in Local control. Other groups of screens can be accessed from the
Home screen by pressing one of three buttons on the bottom of the screen; HISTORY, VIEW, SET.
HISTORY will go to the last history screens viewed and can toggle between the two historyscreens.
Trend History

VIEW will go to the next View screen and other sub-View screens used to look in detail at settings
and the operation of the chiller. Pressing View from any other screen will return to the Home View
screen.
SET will go to a series of screens used to set setpoints.
The figure on the following page illustrates the arrangement of the various screens available on the OITS.
A few minutes practice on an actual OITS should provide a comfortable level of confidence in navigating
through the screens.

containing various data. A screen with
unit temperatures and pressures is
shown on a BAR CHART
SCREEN(see Figure12). This screen is
accessed by pressing LABELED BAR
GRAPHS. Pressing BAR GRAPHS
will access the same screen, but
without the labels
There is more data available to view
and it is accessed through the buttons
on the right of the screen. It is
segregated by general topics that are
self-explanatory. These buttons are also
repeated on the Detail View Screen as
previously noted. If the starter display
option has been included,
a POWER button will be located above
the STATE button.
21
Figure 9, View Compressor State Screen
For example, pressing the Compressor-State button will yield the
following screen superimposed on the right side of the Detail View
Screen. The Compressor State screen is basically a compilation of the
events that the chiller sequences through at startup. A green light (light
gray in the figure) indicates that a particular sequence requirement has
been satisfied. It is recommended that this screen be viewed during the
start up sequence. One can see the requirements light up as they are met
and quickly see why a non-start may have occurred. For example, The
Evap Flow OK will light when the evaporator flow switch is closed by
flow, Oil Sump Temp OK will light if (or when) the oil temperature is
above the Startup Temperature Setpoint, both timers must be timed out,
Oil Pressure OK will light when sufficient oil pressure is achieved, etc.
The bottom three sections (from "RUN" down) are in effect during the
shut down process. The compressor is officially off when the Postlube
Timer is Done. The sequence transitions back to OFF at this point and
the OFF light will be illuminated.

Many of these I/Os also appear in the Compressor State screen
since they are part of the start up sequence and define the
compressor state at any given time. Dual compressor units will
have two of any compressor screen.
A COMP button will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the
Detail View Screen (Figure6) on dual compressor HTD units.
This button will toggle compressor data from #1 compressor to
#2 compressor.

Figure 12, Bar Chart with Labels
The bar chart screen is accessed from the MENU screen (Figure10)by selecting
LABELED BAR GRAPHS. Selecting BAR CHARTS will access the same graph, but
without the labels.
SET Screens
The set screens on the Interface Panel are used to input the many setpoints associated with
equipment of this type. MicroTech II provides an extremely simple method for accomplishing
this. (NOTE: If the Interface Panel is unavailable, the unit controller can be used to change
setpoints.) Appropriate setpoints are factory set and checked by DAIKIN Service or Factory
Authorized Service Company during commissioning. However, adjustments and changes are
often required to meet job conditions. Certain settings involving pumps and tower operation
are field set.
Pressing the SET button found on almost every screen accesses the last SET screen used or
the SERVICE screen, whichever of the two was used last.
When in any SET screen, pressing the SET button again will toggle to the SERVICE screen.

The above figure shows the SETPOINT screen with WATER setpoints selected. The various
setpoint groups are in a column on the right side of the screen. Each button contains a number
of setpoints grouped together by similar content. The WATER button (as shown) contains
various setpoints relating to water temperatures. If either starter display option has been
included, an additional button, STARTER, will be located above the TIMERS button.
NOTE: Some setpoints that do not apply to a particular application may still be listed on the
screen. They will be inactive and can be ignored. For example, of setpoints 1, 2, and 3 above,
only one will be active depending on the unit mode selected in the MODE setpoints, 10 and
11 only for Templifiers.
The numbered buttons in the second from right column are pressed to select a particular
setpoint. The selected setpoint will appear in blue on the screen and a description of it (with
the range of available settings) will appear in the upper left-hand box.
Procedure for Changing a Setpoint
A list of setpoints, their default value, their available setting range, and password authority are
in Table 22 for the unit and Table 23 for the compressor.
1. Press the applicable Setpoint Group Button. A complete explanation of setpoint
content of each group follows this section.
2. Select the desired setpoint by pressing the numbered button.
3. Press the CHANGE button indicating that you wish to change a setpoint value. The
KEYBOARD screen will be turned on automatically for entering the password.
O = Operator level password is 100
M = Manager level password is 2001
T = Technician level password is reserved for authorized technicians
4. Press the appropriate numbers in the numeric keyboard to enter the password. There is
a small delay between pressing the keypad and recording the entry. Be sure that an
24
asterisk appears in the window before pressing the next number. Press ENTER to
return to the SETPOINT screen. The password will remain open for 15 minute after
initiation and does not need to be re-entered during this period.
5. Press CHANGE again. The right side of the screen will turn blue (inactive).
6. The numeric keypad and action buttons in the lower left-hand corner of the screen will
be activated (the background will turn green). Setpoints with numeric values can be
changed in two ways:
Select the desired value by pressing the numbered buttons. Press ENTER to enter
the value or CANCEL to cancel the transaction.
Press the UP or DOWN button to increase or decrease the value displayed. Press
ENTER to enter the value or CANCEL to cancel the transaction.
Some setpoints are text rather than numeric values. For example, LWT Reset Type
can be "None" or "4-20 mA". The selection can be made by toggling between
choices using the UP or DOWN button. If dashed lines appear in the setpoint
window, it indicates that you have toggled too far and need to reverse direction.
Press ENTER to enter the choice or CANCEL to cancel the transaction.
Once CHANGE is selected, the CANCEL or ENTER buttons must be pressed
before another setpoint can be selected.
7. Additional setpoints can be changed by selecting another setpoint on the screen or by
selecting an entirely new group of setpoints.
Explanation of Setpoints
Each of the seven setpoint group of screens are detailed in the following section. In many
cases the setpoint content is obvious and no explanation is included.
1. TIMERS, for setting timers such as start-to-start, prelube, postlube, etc.
2. ALARMS, for setting the limit and shutdown alarms.
3. VALVE, sets the parameters for operation of an optional field installed tower bypass
valve.
4. TOWER, selects the method of controlling the cooling tower and sets the parameters
for fan staging/VFD.
5. MOTOR, selects motor related setpoints such as amp limits, VFD settings, etc. Also
has maximum and minimum rate of change of chilled water temperature.
6. MODES, selects various modes of operation such as control source, multiple
compressor staging, pump staging, BAS protocol, etc.
7. WATER, leaving water temperature setpoint, start and stop delta-T, resets, etc.

Explaination of Tower Control Settings
MicroTech II control can control cooling tower fan stages, a tower bypass valve, and/or a
tower fan VFD if the chiller has a dedicated cooling tower.
The Tower Bypass Valve position will always control the Tower Fan Staging if Valve
Setpoint, Stage Setpoint is selected. Fan staging is determined by Min & Max Tower Valve
Position.
There are five possible tower control strategies as noted below and explained in detail later
in this section. They are selected from SETPOINT TOWER SP2.
1. NONE, Tower fan staging only. In this mode the tower fan staging (up to 4 stages) is
controlled by either the condenser Entering Water Temperature (EWT) or LIFT
pressure (difference between the condenser and evaporator pressures). Tower bypass
or fan speed are not controlled.
2. VALVE SP, Tower staging with low-limit controlled bypass valve. In this mode the
tower fans are controlled as in #1 plus a tower bypass valve is controlled to provide a
minimum condenser EWT. There is no interconnection between the fan control and
the valve control.
3. VALVE STAGE, Tower staging with stage controlled bypass valve. In this mode the
bypass valve controls between fan stages to smooth the control and reduce fan cycling
4. VFD STAGE. In this mode a VFD controls the first fan. Up to 3 more fans are staged
on and off and there is no bypass valve.
5. VALVE/VFD, Tower fan control with VFD plus bypass valve control.
Tower Fan Staging Only (NONE)

The following settings are used for the Tower Fan Staging Only mode, (SP= setpoint)
1) TOWER SETPOINT Screen
i) SP1. Select TEMP if control is based on condenser EWT or LIFT if based on
compressor lift expressed in psi.
ii) SP2. Select NONE for no bypass valve or fan VFD control.
iii) SP3. Select one to four fan outputs depending on the number of fan stages to be
used. More than one fan can be used per stage through the use of relays.
iv) SP4. Select STAGE UP TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value of 2
minutes is probably a good starting point. The value may need to be adjusted
later depending on actual system operation.
v) SP5. Select STAGE DOWN TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value of 5
minutes is probably a good starting point. The value may need to be adjusted
later depending on actual system operation.
2) If TEMP is selected in SP1, use
i) SP6. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in degrees F, start with default of 3
degrees F.
ii) SP8-11. Set the STAGE ON temperatures consistent with the temperature range
over which the condenser EWT is desired to operate. The default values of 70F,
75F, 80F and 85F are a good place to start in climates with moderate wet bulb
temperatures. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used must be the same as
SP3.
3) If LIFT is selected in SP1, use
i) SP7. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in PSI. Start with default of 6 psi.
ii) SP12-15. Start with default setpoints. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used
must be the same as SP3.
See Figure2, Field Wiring Diagram for fan staging field wiring connection points.
30
Tower Fan Staging With Bypass Valve Controlling Minimum EWT
(VALVE SP)
1) TOWER SETPOINT Screen
a) SP1. Select TEMP if control is based on condenser EWT or LIFT if based on
compressor lift expressed in psi.
b) SP2. Select Valve SP for control of bypass valve based on temperature or lift.
c) SP3. Select one to four fan outputs depending on the number of fan stages to be
used. More than one fan can be used per stage through the use of relays.
d) SP4. Select STAGE UP TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value of 2
minutes is probably a good starting point. The value may need to be adjusted later
depending on actual system operation.
e) SP5. Select STAGE DOWN TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value of 5
minutes is probably a good starting point. The value may need to be adjusted later
depending on actual system operation.
f) If TEMP is selected in SP1, use
i) SP6. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in degrees F, start with default of 3
degrees F.
ii) SP8-11. Set the STAGE ON temperatures consistent with the temperature
range over which the condenser EWT is desired to operate. The default values
of 70F, 75F, 80F and 85F are a good place to start in climates with
moderate wet bulb temperatures. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used
must be the same as SP3.
g) If LIFT is selected in SP1, use
i) SP7. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in PSI. Start with default of 6 PSI.
ii) SP12-15. Start with default setpoints. The number of STAGE ON setpoints
used must be the same as SP3.
2) VALVE SETPOINT Screen
a) SP1, Select NC or NO depending if valve is closed to tower with no control power
or open to tower with no control power.
b) If TEMP was selected for fan control above, use
i) SP2, Set the VALVE TARGET (setpoint), usually 5 degrees below the
minimum fan stage setpoint established in TOWER SP11. This keeps full flow
through the tower until the last fan is staged off.
ii) SP4, Set VALVE DEADBAND, the default of 2 degrees F is a good place to
start.
iii) SP8, Set MINIMUM VALVE POSITION when EWT is at or below SP9.
Default is 0%.
iv) SP9, Set the EWT at which the valve position will be at (SP8). Default is 60F.
v) SP8, Set MINIMUM VALVE POSITION when EWT is at or below SP9.
Default is 0%.
vi) SP9, Set the EWT at which the valve position is set to allow the fans to stage
up (SP8). Default is 60F.
vii) SP10, Set the initial valve position when EWT is at or above SP11. Default is
100%.
SP11, Set the EWT at which initial valve position is set to SP8. Default is
90F.
viii) SP12, Set the minimum position to which the valve can go. Default is
10%.

fan stage setpoint established in TOWER SP12. This keeps full flow through
the tower until the last fan is staged off.
ii) SP5, Set VALVE DEADBAND, the default of 6 psi is a good place to start.
iii) SP8, Set MINIMUM VALVE POSITION when EWT is at or below SP9.
Default is 0%.
iv) SP9, Set the EWT at which the valve position will be at (SP8). Default is
60F.
v) SP12, Set the minimum position to which the valve can go. Default is 10%.
vi) SP13, Set the maximum position to which the valve can go. Default is 100%.
vii) SP14, Set the control gain for error. Default is 25.
viii) SP15, Set the control gain for slope. Default is 25.

Tower Staging with Bypass Valve Controlled by Fan Stage (VALVE STAGE)
This mode is similar to #2 above except that the bypass valve setpoint changes to be
set at the same point of whatever fan stage is active rather than just maintaining a
single minimum condenser EWT. In this mode the valve controls between fan stages
and tries to maintain the fan stage setting in effect. When it is max open or max closed
(staging up or down) and the temperature (or lift) moves to the next fan stage, the
valve will go the opposite max setting. This mode reduces fan cycling.
This mode is programmed the same as Mode #2 above except that in SETPOINT,
TOWER, SP2, VALVE STAGE is selected instead of VALVE SP.
Fan VFD, No Bypass Valve (VFD STAGE)
The fan VFD mode assumes the tower is driven by one large fan. Set up is as above
except in SETPOINT, TOWER, SP2, VALVE/VFD is selected.

SERVICE Screen
Figure 21, Service Screen
Pressing SET from any SET screen accesses the SERVICE screen. In other words, it is the
second "SET" screen. While containing information and activity buttons for the service
technician, it also has valuable information for the operator.
The upper left corner contains compressor information as shown above. The screen
illustrated is for a dual compressor unit, a single, of course, would show data for only one
compressor. "Spare Capacity" is used to set the compressor stopping increment for dual
compressors.
The light matrix below it displays what nodes are active for chillers A, B, C, and D on the
pLAN.
The software version numbers shown in the lower left corner are the controllers' software
identification. These numbers may be required by DAIKIN International to answer
questions about unit operation or to assist in possible future upgrades of software. The
OITS software number is shown in the upper-right corner.
The Operating Manual button will access the operating and maintenance manual for the
unit. The unit will also have a Parts Manual button. Some early versions may not have a
parts list loaded. A DAIKIN service technician can upload it. Pressing these buttons will
display the manual on the screen where it can be manipulated as an Adobe Acrobat file.
SELECT LANGUAGE allows toggling between the available languages. The language
can be set separately for display or history, which is used for alarm and trend files.
The PASSWORD button is used to access the Keyboard screen to enter a password.
The Alarms ON/OFF button is normally used only on demonstration software and will
probably not appear on the units screen. If so, they should be ignored.
The LOAD UCM and pLAN Comm buttons are for use only by authorized service
technicians.
Date/Time in the upper-right corner is pressed to set the correct date and time, if needed.

HISTORY Screens
Figure 22, History Trend Graph
The Trend History Overview allows the user to view the various parameters listed on the
right side of the screen. The temperature scale in F (C) is on the left. Pressure in psi
(kPa) and % RLA are represented by the right-hand scale. The screen can display history
for 8 hour, 2 hour or 20-minute periods by pressing 8, 2, or 1/3 respectively. Some
software versions have a 24 hour instead of an 8 hour period.
Pressing NOW for any time period will start the display for the current time beginning on
the right of the screen with history flowing to the left.
The arrow buttons scroll the time period forward or backward. Obviously if NOW is
selected, the forward button > will not go into the future.

ACTIVE ALARM Screen
Figure 24, Active Alarms
The Active Alarm screen is accessible when an active alarm exists on the unit by pressing
the red alarm signal on any screen. If no alarm is active, it can be accessed from the
SERVICE screen by pressing the blue square where the red alarm signal would be. This
allows repeating the alarm clear command if desired.
Alarms are arranged in order of occurrence, with the most recent on top. Once the
abnormal condition is corrected, pressing the "CLEAR" key will clear the alarm.
The current active alarms (there may be more than one) are displayed. Note that the alarms
are color-coded red for FAULT (equipment protection control) that causes a rapid
compressor shutdown, yellow for PROBLEM (limit alarm) that will inhibit loading, or
load or unload the compressor, and blue for WARNING which is information only and
takes no action.
The date/time and cause of the alarm are displayed.
After eliminating the cause of the alarm, clear the alarm by pressing the CLEAR button.
This will clear the alarm from the register and allow the unit to restart after going through
the start sequence. The alarm notice will be deleted from the screen.
However, if the cause of the alarm is not remedied, the alarm is still active and the alarm
message will remain on screen. The unit will not begin its starting sequence.
Always remedy the cause of an alarm before attempted to clear it.
39
Alarms fall into three distinct categories: Faults, Problems, and Warnings as detailed in the
following section.
Fault Alarms
The following table identifies each fault alarm, its display, gives the condition that causes the
alarm to occur, and states the action taken because of the alarm. All fault alarms require a manual
reset and trigger the remote alarm signal.

Unit Controller
This section will describe the operation of the unit controller, define the screen hierarchy
and how to navigate through it and also give a description of the screens.
4x20 Display & Keypad
Layout
The 4-line by 20-character/line liquid crystal display and 6-key keypad are shown below.
Figure26, Display (in MENU mode) and Keypad Layout
Key-to-Screen MENU
ARROW ENTER Key
Note that each ARROW key has a pathway to a line in the display. Pressing an ARROW
key will activate the associated line when in the MENU mode.
Getting Started
There are two basic procedures to learn in order to utilize the MicroTech II controller:
1. Navigating through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen and knowing
where a particular screen is located.
2. Knowing what is contained in a menu screen and how to read that information or how
to change a setpoint contained in the menu screen.
Navigating
The menus are arranged in a matrix of screens across a top horizontal row. Some of these
top-level screens have sub-screens located under them. The general content of each screen
and its location in the matrix begins in Figure 28. A detailed description of each menu
screen begins.
There are two ways to navigate through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen.
1) One is to scroll through the matrix from one screen to another using the four ARROW
keys.
2) Another way is to use shortcuts to work through the matrix hierarchy. From any menu
screen,
a) Pressing the MENU key will take you to the top level of the hierarchy. The
display will
show ALARM, VIEW, and SET. One of these groups of screens can then be
selected by
pressing the key connected to it via the pathway.
42
b) Depending on the top-level selected, a second level of screens will appear. For
example, selecting ALARM will go the next level of menus under ALARM
(ALARM LOG or ACTIVE ALARM). Selecting VIEW will go the next level of
menus (VIEW COMPRESSOR STATUS, VIEW UNIT STATUS, VIEW
EVAPORATOR, or VIEW CONDENSER). Selecting SET will go to a series of
menus for looking at and changing setpoints.
c) After selecting this second level, the desired screen can be acquired using the
arrow keys. A typical final screen is shown below.
Pressing the MENU key from any menu screen will automatically return you to the MENU
mode.

SET Screens
The PW (password) column indicates the password that must be active in order to change
the set point. Codes are as follows:
O = Operator, password is 100 M = Manager, password is 2001 T = Technician
(reserved)
The operator password is entered as 100 (three digits) on the OITS graphic keyboard.
When entered on a microprocessor LCD screen, four digits are required, thus it is entered
as 0100.
Editing Setpoints
In order to enter or change a setpoint, the appropriate screen must first be accessed. There
are two ways to get to the desired menu screen:
1. Scrolling, The scroll method allows the user to move about the matrix (from one menu
to another, one at a time) by using the four ARROW keys.
2. The MENU key can be used as a shortcut to specific groups of menus within the

Editing is accomplished by pressing the ENTER key until the desired field is selected.
This field is indicated by a blinking cursor under it. The arrow keys will then operate as
defined below.
Right Arrow Key = CANCEL Reset the current field to the value it had when editing
began.
Left Arrow Fey = DEFAULT Set value to original factory setting.
Up Key = INCREMENT Increase the value or select the next item in a list.
Down Key = DECREMENT Decrease the value or select the previous item in a list.

DEFAULT CANCEL MENU
DECREMENT INCREMRNT ENTER
These four edit functions are indicated by one-character abbreviation on the right side of
the display (this mode is entered by pressing the ENTER key).
Most menus containing set point values have several different setpoints shown on one
menu. When in a setpoint menu, the ENTER key is used to proceed from the top line to
the second line and on downward. The cursor will blink at the entry point for making a
change. The ARROW keys (now in the edit mode) are used to change the set point as
described above. When the change has been made, press the ENTER key to enter it.
Nothing is changed until the ENTER key is pressed.
For example, to change the chilled water setpoint:
1. Press MENU key to go to the MENU mode.
2. Press SET (the UP Key) to go to the setpoint menus.
3. Press UNIT SPs (the Right key) to go to setpoints associated with unit operation.
4. Press the DOWN key to scroll down through the setpoint menus to the third menu
screen which contains Cool LWT=XX.XF.
5. Press the ENTER key to move the cursor down from the top line to the second line in
order to make the change. If a password is not active, the control will automatically go
to the Set PASSWORD screen
6. Use the ARROW keys (now in the edit mode as shown above) to change the setting.
7. When the desired value is achieved, press ENTER to enter it and also move the cursor
down.
At this point, the following actions can be taken:
1. Change another setpoint in this menu by scrolling to it with the ENTER key.
2. Using the ENTER key, scroll to the first line in the menu. From there the ARROW
keys can be used to scroll to different menus.
During edit mode, the display will show a two-character wide menu pane on the right as
shown below. They stand for; Default, Cancel, (+) Increase, (-) Decrease

Prs Ctrl Dout = 10F
Screen 15 controls the electronic expansion valve (EXV) and is set as close as possible to
known job operating conditions. Ex Valve Gain values less than the default of 100 pivot
the curve slope to the right (downward). Values greater than the default of 100 pivot the
slope upward, resulting in a greater valve opening for a given condenser delta-T, with the
effect increasing as the delta-T increases. Very little effect is seen at low delta-Ts (low
loads). See Figure 29.
Offset (Slope) values above 271 move the curve upward parallel, increasing the valve
opening the same amount regardless of the condenser delta-T. Values less than 271 have
the opposite effect.
Prs Ctrl Dout (pressure control dropout) setting determines the leaving chilled water
temperature at which the EXV transitions from pressure control based on chilled water
temperature to program control based on condenser delta-T (trimmed by lift). This
pressure control mode provides a controlled pulldown of the chilled water temperature on

Demand Limit settings can be OFF or ON as determined from the Demand Limit setpoint.
SET COMP#N SPs (2)
StageMode = NORMAL
StageSequence# =XX
Max Comprs ON = XX
StageMode settings can be NORMAL, HI EFF, PUMP, and STANDBY as determined by
the Stage Mode setpoint.
NORMAL has the auto-balance sequence that starts compressors with least starts and stops
compressors with most hours, in sequence, providing all compressors have the same
sequence number. If they have different sequence numbers, say 1, 2, 3, 4, they will always
start in that sequence. That is, sequence number will take precedence over auto-balance
sequencing.
HI EFF is used with multiple chillers and runs one compressor per chiller when ever
possible.
PUMP starts all compressors on the same chiller first, starting with the chiller with the
compressor with the least starts (or by sequence number if they are different).
STANDBY is used in multi-compressor systems and reserves a compressor to come on
only if there is a failure of another compressor in the system and the standby compressor
capacity is required to maintain chilled water temperature.
StageSequence is set for each compressor:
In NORMAL or STANDBY Mode, all compressors can have the same number or a number
from 1 up to the total number of compressors. Sequence number has priority over other
considerations. If four compressors in a system are given the sequence numbers 1 through
4, they will always start in that order. With the same number they will auto-sequence.
In HI EFF or PUMP, all compressors must have the same sequence number.
Max Comprs ON limits the number of compressors allowed to run in multi-compressor
systems. It provides a "floating standby" compressor. All compressor controllers must
have the same setting for this setpoint.

Staging Parameters
Full Load Determination
Each compressor determines if it is at its maximum capacity (or maximum allowed
capacity) and, if so, set its Full Load flag. The flag shall be set (full load) when one or
more of the following conditions are met.
The compressor is at its physical limit of capacity which means:
For VFD Set Point = NO: The load output has been pulsed ON for a cumulative time
equal to or greater than the Full Load set point. Any unload pulse shall reset the
cumulative time to zero.
For VFD Set Point = YES: Load pulsing has exceeded the Full Load set point (as
described above) AND the VFD speed = 100%
OR
The Vanes Open digital input is On AND the VFD speed = 100%.
The %RLA is above or equals the Maximum Amp limit set point.
The %RLA is above or equals the Demand Limit analog input value
The %RLA is above or equals the Network Limit value
The evaporator pressure is below the Low Evap Pressure-Inhibit set point.
When none of the above conditions are met, the Full Load flag shall be cleared.
Absolute Capacity
Each compressor shall estimate its absolute capacity from the present value of %RLA and
the Absolute Capacity set point from the equation:
Absolute Capacity = (%RLA Factor) * (Absolute Capacity set point)
Where the %RLA Factor is interpolated from the following table.
%RLA 0 50 75 100 150
%RLA Factor 0 0.35 0.75 1.00 1.50
Multiple Compressor Staging

This section defines which compressor is the next one to start or stop. The next section
defines when the start, or stop, is to occur.
Functions
Can start/stop compressors according to an operator defined sequence.
Can start compressors based on # of starts (run hours if starts are equal) and stop on
run hours.
The above two modes can be combined so that there are two or more groups where all
compressors in the first group are started (based on number of starts/hours) before any
in the second group, etc. Conversely, all compressors in a group are stopped (based on
run hours) before any in the preceding group, etc.
An efficiency priority mode can be selected for two or more chillers where one
compressor is started on each chiller in the group before a second is started on any of
them.
A pump priority mode can be selected for one or more chillers where all compressors
on a given chiller are started before going to the next chiller in the group.
One or more compressors can be defined as standby where it is never used unless
one of the normal compressors is unavailable.

also in the alarm history buffer (viewed on the Alarm History screen). The active alarm
buffers hold a record of the last occurrence of each alarm and whether or not it has been
cleared. The alarm can be cleared by pressing the Edit key. A separate buffer is available
for each alarm (High Cond Pressure, Evaporator Freeze Protect, etc.). The alarm history
buffer holds a chronological account of the last 50 alarms of any type.
Security
Entering on the Unit Controller
Two four-digit passwords provide OPERATOR and MANAGER levels of access to
changeable parameters. Either password can be entered using the SET PASSWORD
screen which can be accessed either through the SET OTHER menu or by simply pressing
the ENTER key while on one of the SET screens. The password can then be entered by
1. Press the ENTER key.
2. Move to each number space to be changed with the right or left button.
3. Enter the correct value by scrolling with the UP and DOWN arrow keys. The
password is right justified on the controller screen. The operator password would look
like 00100, the manager password would be 02001.
4. Press ENTER again to enter the password
Once the correct password has been entered, the previously selected screen will reappear.
Once a password has been entered, it will remain valid for 15 minutes after the last key-
press. Parameters and screens that require the MANAGER password will not be displayed
unless the MANAGER password is active.
Entering on the OITS
When a password is required, the touch screen will automatically go to the screen keyboard.
Numbers are left justified and the operator password would be 100 (appearing as *** in the
window).

Compressor Controller
This section will briefly describe the operation of the controller, define the screen hierarchy
and how to navigate through it and also give a description of the screens.
Relevant compressor information and setpoint changes are available on the OITS and on
the unit controller. There is little need to consult the compressor controller(s).

The 4-line by 20-character/line liquid crystal display and 6-key keypad are shown below.
Figure 31, Display (in MENU mode) and Keypad Layout
Key to Screen MENU
ARROW ENTER Key

Note that each ARROW key has a pathway to a line in the display. Pressing an ARROW
key will activate the associated line when in the MENU mode.
Getting Started
There are two basic procedures to learn in order to utilize the MicroTech II controller:
1. Navigating through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen and knowing
where a particular screen is located.
2. Knowing what is contained in a menu screen and how to read that information or how
to change a setpoint contained in the menu screen.
Navigating
The menus are arranged in a matrix of screens across a top horizontal row. Some of these
top-level screens have sub-screens located under them.
There are two ways to navigate through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen.
One is to scroll through the matrix from one screen to another using the four ARROW keys.
The other way is to use shortcuts to work through the matrix hierarchy. From any menu
screen, pressing the MENU key will take you to the top level of the hierarchy. The display
will show ALARM, VIEW, and SET as shown in Figure 31. One of these groups of screens
can then be selected by pressing the key connected to it via the pathway.
60
For example, selecting ALARM will go the next row of menus under ALARM (ALARM
LOG or ACTIVE ALARM). Selecting VIEW will go the next level of screens under
VIEW (VIEW UNIT STATUS or VIEW UNIT TEMP). Selecting SET will go to a series
of screens for looking at and changing setpoints.
MENU Key
The MENU key is used to switch between the shortcut method (known as the MENU mode
and as shown in Figure ) and scrolling method (known as the SCROLL mode). The
MENU mode is the shortcut to specific groups of menus used for checking ALARMS, for
VIEWING information, or to SET setpoint values. The SCROLL mode allows the user to
move about the matrix (from one menu to another, one at a time) by using the four
ARROW keys.

Menu Screens
Various menus are shown in the controller display. Each menu screen shows specific
information; in some cases menus are used only to view the status of the unit, in some cases
they are used for checking and clearing alarms, and in some case they are used to set
setpoint values.
The menus are arranged in a matrix of screens across a top horizontal row. Most of these
top-level screens have sub-screens located under them.
The ARROW keys on the controller are used to navigate through the menus. The keys are
also used to change numerical setpoint values contained in certain menus.

StageMode settings can be NORMAL, HI EFF, PUMP, and STANDBY as determined by
the Stage Mode setpoint. NORMAL is the auto balance sequence starting compressors
with least starts and stopping with most hours, in sequence. HI EFF is used with multiple
dual compressor chillers and runs one compressor per chiller when ever possible. PUMP
starts all compressors on the same chiller first starting with the chiller with the compressor
with the least starts. STANDBY is used in multi-compressor systems and reserves a
compressor to come on only if there is a failure of another compressor in the system and
the standby compressor capacity is required to maintain chilled water temperature.
StageSequence is set for each compressor:
In NORMAL or STANDBY Mode, all compressors can have the same number or a number
from 1 up to the total number of compressors. Sequence number has priority over other
considerations. If four compressors in a system are given the sequence numbers 1 through
4, they will always start in that order. With the same number they will auto-sequence.
In HI EFF or PUMP, all compressors must have the same sequence number.
Max Comprs ON limits the number of compressors allowed to run in multi-compressor
systems. It provides a "floating standby" compressor. All compressor controllers must
have the same setting for this setpoint.

VaneMode settings can be AUTO or MAN (Manual) as determined from the Vane Mode
setpoint. Vanes position is indicated as CLOSED or UNKNOWN as determined from the
Vanes Closed switch digital input. When Edit mode is selected on this screen, the
<AUTO/<LOAD/<UNLD prompts will appear. Holding the LOAD key will then
continuously load the compressor and holding the UNLD key will unload it. After
releasing either key the compressor will hold and the Vane Mode setpoint will be set to
Manual. Pressing the AUTO key will set the Vane Mode back to Auto. After leaving edit
mode the <AUTO/<LOAD/<UNLD prompts will be hidden.
The following VFD screen will only be shown if the VFD set point =
YES.

VFD Mode settings can be AUTO or MAN (Manual) as determined from the VFD Mode
setpoint. VFD speed is shown as 0 to 100%. When Edit mode is selected on this screen,
the <AUTO/<LOAD/<UNLD prompts will appear. Holding the LOAD key will then
continuously speed up the VFD and holding the UNLD key will slow it down. After
releasing either key the VFD will stay at the current speed and the VFD Mode setpoint will
be set to Manual. Pressing the AUTO key will set the VFD Mode back to Auto. After
leaving edit mode the <AUTO/<LOAD/<UNLD prompts will be hidden.
Staging Parameters
Full Load Determination
Each compressor determines if it is at its maximum capacity (or maximum allowed
capacity) and, if so, set its Full Load flag. The flag shall be set (full load) when one or
more of the following conditions are met.
The compressor is at its physical limit of capacity which means:
For VFD Set Point = NO: The load output has been pulsed ON for a cumulative time
equal to or greater than the Full Load set point. Any unload pulse shall reset the
cumulative time to zero. The cumulative time must be limited (to a value above the
maximum allowed setting of the Full Load set point) so that no wrap occurs.
For VFD Set Point = YES: Load pulsing has exceeded the Full Load set point (as
described above) AND the VFD speed = 100%
OR
64
The Vanes Open digital input is On AND the VFD speed = 100%.
The %RLA is above or equals the Maximum Amp limit set point.
The %RLA is above or equals the Demand Limit analog input value
The %RLA is above or equals the Network Limit value
The evaporator pressure is below the Low Evap Pressure-Inhibit set point.
When none of the above conditions are met, the Full Load flag shall be cleared.
Absolute Capacity
Each compressor shall estimate its absolute capacity from the present value of %RLA and
the Absolute Capacity set point from the equation:
Absolute Capacity = (%RLA Factor) * (Absolute Capacity set point)
Where the %RLA Factor is interpolated from the following table.
%RLA 0 50 75 100 150
%RLA Factor 0 0.35 0.75 1.00 1.50
Multiple Compressor Staging

This section defines which compressor is the next one to start or stop.
Functions
Can start/stop compressors according to an operator defined sequence.
Can start compressors based on # of starts (run hours if starts are equal) and stop on
run hours.
The above two modes can be combined so that there are two or more groups where all
compressors in the first group are started (based on number of starts/hours) before any
in the second group, etc. Conversely, all compressors in a group are stopped (based on
run hours) before any in the preceding group, etc.
An efficiency priority mode can be selected for two or more chillers where one
compressor is started on each chiller in the group before a second is started on any of
them.
A pump priority mode can be selected for one or more chillers where all compressors
on a given chiller are started before going to the next chiller in the group.
One or more compressors can be defined as standby where it is never used unless
one of the normal compressors is unavailable.

Motor Temp. Controller
For 126,158 type of compressor unit, the compressor terminal box fitted with medium-
sized pCo3 controllers and associated motor temperature information is showed by Motor
Temp. Controller, the pLAN address is 0. At the same time, the parameters on unit
controller should be set, change the ninth compressor setting communication into Iso-
Mtr-T, as shown below. After setting, the compressor controller and the unit controller can
display the motor temperature directly, method to display motor temperature: press the
key, (not loose) and pressing the key at the same time, then let them go at the
same time.
