Indicator

Name

Description

 

 

 

 

Low Water

The Low Water Flow/Pressure light comes on when

 

Flow/Pressure

the flow switch (pressure switch on 2 & 3 hp

 

Light

models) senses that the water/glycol flow rate

 

 

through the evaporator has dropped below an

 

 

acceptable level. The flow switch opens shutting

 

 

down the pump(s) and the chiller.

 

 

 

 

Low Refrigerant

The Low Refrigerant Pressure light come on if the

 

Pressure Light

compressor suction pressure drops below the limit

 

 

of the low pressure cutout switch. The compressor

 

 

shuts off, but the pump(s) continues to run.

 

 

The indicator turns off and compressor restarts

 

 

automatically when the refrigerant pressure rises to

 

 

the limit of the low-pressure cutout switch. Call a

 

 

qualified refrigeration service technician or contact

 

 

the Service Department.

 

 

 

 

Low Oil Pressure

The Low Oil Pressure light is installed on chillers

 

Light

with a semi-hermetic compressor that have an oil

 

 

pump. A differential pressure switch monitors the

 

 

difference between crankcase pressure and oil pump

 

 

pressure.

 

 

If the pressure drops to an unsafe level for more

 

 

than two minutes the switch will open the control

 

 

wiring circuit, shutting off the compressor, turning

 

 

the light on, but allowing the pump(s) to continue

 

 

running. This is a manual reset switch. Call a

 

 

qualified refrigeration service technician or the

 

 

Service Department.

 

 

 

 

Control Power

The green, lighted, sustained-on Control Power

 

Lighted Switch

Switch lights whenever the switch is in the ON

 

 

position and the control circuit is energized.

 

 

 

 

Alarm Silence

The red momentary-on Alarm Silence Switch is

 

Switch

used to turn off the audible alarm on chillers that are

 

 

built with the audible or audible/visual alarm option.

 

 

This switch is always provided and requires no

 

 

additional wiring if either alarm option is installed at

 

 

a later time.
