01 | FSM CONTROLLING CHILLER | Flotronic™ System Manager (FSM) is controlling the chiller. | |
|
|
| |
02 | WSM CONTROLLING CHILLER | Water System Manager (WSM) is controlling the chiller. | |
|
|
| |
03 | MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL | Dual Chiller control is enabled. | |
|
|
| |
| RAMP LOAD LIMITED | Ramp load | |
05 |
| is dropped is limited to a predetermined value to prevent compressor overloading. See Cooling | |
| Ramp Loading (CRMP) [Configuration, SLCT]. The | ||
|
| ||
|
| to any rate from 0.2° F to 2° F (0.1° to 1° C)/minute. | |
|
|
| |
06 | TIMED OVERRIDE IN EFFECT | Timed override is in effect. This is a 1 to 4 hour temporary override of the programmed | |
| schedule, forcing unit to Occupied mode. Override can be implemented with unit under | ||
|
| Local (Enable) or SCN (Sterlco Comfort Network) control. Override expires after each use. | |
| LOW COOLER SUCTION TEMPA | Circuit A cooler Freeze Protection mode. At least one compressor must be on, and the Sat- | |
|
| urated Suction Temperature is not increasing greater than 1.1° F (0.6° C) in 10 seconds. If | |
|
| the saturated suction temperature is less than the Brine Freeze Point (BR.FZ) [Set Point, | |
07 |
| FRZ] minus 3° F (1.7° C) and less than the leaving fluid temperature minus 14° F (7.8° C) | |
| for 2 minutes, a stage of capacity will be removed from the circuit. Or, If the saturated suc- | ||
|
| ||
|
| tion temperature is less than the Brine Freeze Point (BR.FZ) [Set Point, FRZ] minus 14° F | |
|
| (7.8 º C), for 90 seconds, a stage of capacity will be removed from the circuit. The control | |
|
| will continue to decrease capacity as long as either condition exists. | |
|
|
| |
| LOW COOLER SUCTION TEMPB | Circuit B cooler Freeze Protection mode. At least one compressor must be on, and the Sat- | |
|
| urated Suction Temperature is not increasing greater than 1.1° F (0.6° C) in 10 seconds. If | |
|
| the saturated suction temperature is less than the Brine Freeze Point (BR.FZ) [Set Point, | |
08 |
| FRZ] minus 3° F (1.7° C) and less than the leaving fluid temperature minus 14° F (7.8° C) | |
| for 2 minutes, a stage of capacity will be removed from the circuit. Or, If the saturated suc- | ||
|
| ||
|
| tion temperature is less than the Brine Freeze Point (BR.FZ) [Set Point, FRZ] minus 14° F | |
|
| (7.8° C), for 90 seconds, a stage of capacity will be removed from the circuit. The control will | |
|
| continue to decrease capacity as long as either condition exists. | |
09 | SLOW CHANGE OVERRIDE | Slow change override is in effect. The leaving fluid temperature is close to and moving | |
| towards the control point. | ||
|
| ||
|
|
| |
10 | MINIMUM OFF TIME ACTIVE | Chiller is being held off by Minutes Off Time (DELY) [Configuration, OPT2]. | |
|
|
| |
13 | DUAL SETPOINT | Dual Set Point mode is in effect. Chiller controls to Cooling Set Point 1 (CSP.1) [Set Point, | |
| COOL] during occupied periods and Cooling Set Point 2 (CSP.2) [Set Point, COOL] during | ||
|
| unoccupied periods. | |
| TEMPERATURE RESET | Temperature reset is in effect. In this mode, chiller is using temperature reset to adjust leav- | |
14 |
| ing fluid set point upward and is currently controlling to the modified set point. The set point | |
| can be modified based on return fluid, | ||
|
| ||
|
| 20 mA signal. | |
|
|
| |
| DEMAND/SOUND LIMITED | Demand limit is in effect. This indicates that the capacity of the chiller is being limited by | |
15 |
| demand limit control option. Because of this limitation, the chiller may not be able to pro- | |
| duce the desired leaving fluid temperature. Demand limit can be controlled by switch inputs | ||
|
| ||
|
| or a 4 to 20 mA signal. | |
|
|
| |
16 | COOLER FREEZE PROTECTION | Cooler fluid temperatures are approaching the Freeze point (see Alarms and Alerts section | |
| for definition). The chiller will be shut down when either fluid temperature falls below the | ||
|
| Freeze point. | |
|
|
| |
17 | LOW TEMPERATURE COOLING | Chiller is in Cooling mode and the rate of change of the leaving fluid is negative and | |
| decreasing faster than | ||
|
| exceeds fixed amount. Control will automatically unload the chiller if necessary. | |
|
|
| |
18 | HIGH TEMPERATURE COOLING | Chiller is in Cooling mode and the rate of change of the leaving fluid is positive and increasing. | |
| Error between leaving fluid and control point exceeds fixed amount. Control will automatically | ||
|
| load the chiller if necessary to better match the increasing load. | |
19 | MAKING ICE | Chiller is in an unoccupied mode and is using Cooling Set Point 3 (CSP.3) [Set Point, COOL] | |
| to make ice. The ice done input to the Energy Management Module (EMM) is open. | ||
|
| ||
|
|
| |
20 | STORING ICE | Chiller is in an unoccupied mode and is controlling to Cooling Set Point 2 (CSP.2) [Set Point | |
| COOL]. The ice done input to the Energy Management Module (EMM) is closed. | ||
|
| ||
|
|
| |
| HIGH SCT CIRCUIT A | Chiller is in a Cooling mode and the Saturated Condensing Temperature (SCT) is greater than | |
21 |
| the calculated maximum limit. No additional stages of capacity will be added. Chiller capacity | |
| may be reduced if SCT continues to rise to avoid | ||
|
| ||
|
| densing temperature. | |
|
|
| |
| HIGH SCT CIRCUIT B | Chiller is in a Cooling mode and the Saturated Condensing Temperature (SCT) is greater than | |
22 |
| the calculated maximum limit. No additional stages of capacity will be added. Chiller capacity | |
| may be reduced if SCT continues to rise to avoid | ||
|
| ||
|
| densing temperature. | |
|
|
| |
23 | MINIMUM COMP ON TIME | Cooling load may be satisfied, however control continues to operate compressor to ensure | |
| proper oil return. May be an indication of oversized application, low fluid flow rate or low loop | ||
|
| volume. | |
|
|
| |
24 | PUMP OFF DELAY TIME | Cooling load is satisfied, however cooler pump continues to run for the number of minutes set | |
| by the configuration variable Cooler Pump Shutdown Delay (PM.DY) [Configuration, OPT1]. | ||
|
| ||
|
|
| |
25 | LOW SOUND MODE | Chiller operates at higher condensing temperature and/or reduced | |
| capacity to minimize overall unit noise during evening/night hours | ||
|
| ||
| SHORT LOOP OVERRIDE | Chiller is monitoring how fast compressor(s) is being cycled to maintain the desired leaving | |
26 |
| fluid temperature. Control is limiting the rate of compressor cycling when this mode is active | |
| to ensure proper oil return and also to prevent premature compressor failure. Low loop vol- | ||
|
| ||
|
| ume, low cooler flow and/or low chiller load are the primary causes for this mode. | |
