•If the outdoor air temperature is less then the economizer supply air temperature set point, compressors will not operate regardless of the
“OUTDOOR AIR TEMP COOLING LOCK- OUT” set point.
LOW AMBIENT OPERATION
A condenser fan VFD can be installed on condenser fan # l. When this is installed compressor system 1 (compressors 1A and 1B) can operate down to an outdoor temperature of 0.0º F. The VFD is located in an enclosure on the right hand side of the condenser section, to the right of the system 2 compressors.
To enable low ambient operation when a condenser fan VFD is installed, the following parameter must be programmed:
“LOWAMBIENT KITINSTALLED” - is enabled using Parameter 84 under the PROGRAM key of the Simplicity Elite control board or under the EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION tab in the Simplicity PC software package.
Operation and Pressure Control Range
The VFD controls the speed of the fan based on a discharge pressure setpoint and a differential range. When discharge pressure reaches approximately 270 PSIG, the VFD will start the fan if the Unit Controller is calling for compressor / condenser fan operation. The binary outputs from the Unit Controller are as shown in Table

As soon as the contactor is energized, the VFD will be activated and will begin to control. As the pressure rises over the next 80 PSIG (270 – 350 PSIG); the fan speed will increase to full speed at approximately 350 PSIG.
The VFD control input signal originates from the discharge pressure transducer for the compressor system it is controlling. The transducer signal feeds the VFD. The VFD controls the fan speed based on discharge pressure.
