Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and
equipment location (roof, elevated structures, etc.). Only
trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should install, start up, and service this equipment.
When working on this equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, and on tags, stickers, a nd labels attached to the
equipment, and any other safety precautions that apply. Follow
all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use care
in handling, rigging, and setting this equipment, and in handling all electrical components.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut
off all power to this equipment during installation and service. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Tag
all disconnect locations to alert others not to restore power
until work is completed.
This unit uses a microprocessor-based electronic control
system. Do not use jumpers or other tools to short out components, or to bypass or otherwise depart from recommended procedures. Any short-to-ground of the control
board or accompanying wiring may destroy the electronic
modules or electrical components.
To prevent potential damage to heat exchanger tubes
always run fluid through heat exchangers when adding or
removing refrigerant charge. Use appropriate brine solutions in cooler fluid loops to prevent the freezing of heat
exchangers when the equipment is exposed to temperatures
below 32 F (0° C).
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building.
Outlet from relief valves must be vented outdoors in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE (American
National Standards Institute/American Society of Heat ing,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) 15 (Safety
Code for Mechanical Refrigeration). The a ccumulation of
refrigerant in an enclosed space can displace oxygen and
cause asphyxiation. Provide adequate ventilation in
enclosed or low overhead areas. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor
is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye and skin irritation.
Decomposition products are hazardous.

INTRODUCTION
This publication contains Start-Up, Service, Controls, Operation, and Troubleshooting information for the 30GTN,R040420 and 30GUN,R040-420 liquid chillers with ComfortLink
controls.
The 30GTN,R and 30GUN,R040-420 chillers are equipped
with electronic expansion valves (EXVs) or, on size 040-110
FIOP (factory-installed option) units, conventional thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs). The size 040-110 FIOP chillers
are also equipped with liquid line solenoid valves (LLSV).
NOTE: TXVs are not available on modular units.
Differences in operations and controls between standard
and 040-110 FIOP units are noted in appropriate sections in
this publication. Refer to the Installation Instructions and the
Wiring Diagrams for the appropriate unit for further details.
rocating chillers contain the ComfortLink™ electronic control
system that controls and monitors all operations of the chiller.
The control system is composed of several components as
listed in the sections below. See Fig. 1 for typical control box
drawing. See Fig. 2-4 for control schematics.
Main Base Board (MBB) —
the heart of the ComfortLink control system. It contains the
major portion of operating software and controls the ope ration
of the machine. The MBB continuously monitors input/output
channel information received from its inputs and from all other
modules. The MBB receives inputs from thermistors T1-T6,
T9, and T10. See Table 2. The MBB also receives the feedback
The 30GTN,R and 30GUN,R air-cooled recip-
See Fig. 5. The MBB is
inputs from compressors A1, A2, B1 and B2, and other status
switches. See Table 3. The MBB also controls several outputs.
Relay outputs controlled by the MBB are shown in Table 4.
Information is transmitted between modules via a 3-wire communication bus or LEN (Local Equipment Network). The
CCN (Carrier Comfort Network) bus is also supported. Connections to both LEN and CCN buses are made at TB3. See
Fig. 5.
Expansion Valve (EXV) Board —
The electronic expansion valve (EXV) board receives inputs from thermistors
T7 and T8. See Table 2. The EXV board communicates with
the MBB and directly controls the expansion valves to maintain the correct compressor superheat.
Compressor Expansion Board (CXB) —
The
CXB is included as standard on sizes 150-210 (60 Hz) and 130
(50 Hz) and associated modular units. The compressor expansion board (CXB) receives the feedback inputs from compressors A3, B3 and A4. See Table 3. The CXB board communicates the status to the MBB and controls the outputs for these
compressors. An additional CXB is required for unit sizes 040110, 130 (60 Hz), 230B-315B with additional unloaders.
Scrolling Marquee Display —
This device is the keypad interface used for accessing chiller information, reading
sensor values, and testing the chiller. The marquee display is a
4-key, 4-character, 16-segment LED (light-emitting diode) display. Eleven mode LEDs are located on the display as well as
an Alarm Status LED. See Marquee Disp lay Us age section on
page 29 for further details.
Energy Management Module (EMM) —
The
EMM module is available as a factory-installed option or as a
field-installed accessory. The EMM module receives 4 to
20 mA inputs for the temperature reset, cooling set point reset
and demand limit functions. The EMM module also receives
the switch inputs for the field-installed 2-stage demand limit
and ice done functions. The EMM module communicates the
status of all inputs with the MBB, and the MBB adjusts the
control point, capacity limit, and other functions according to
the inputs received.
Enable/Off/Remote Contact Switch —
The
Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch is a 3-position switch used
to control t h e c h il le r. When switched to th e E na b le position the
chiller is under its own control. Move the switch to the Off position to shut the chiller down. Move the switch to the Remote
Contact position and a field installed dry contact can be used to
start the chiller. The contacts must be rated for dry circuit application capable of handling a 24 vac load. In the Enable and Remote Contact (dr y contacts clo sed) position s, the chiller is allowed to operate and respond to the scheduling configuration,
CCN configuration and set point data. See Fig. 6.
Emergency On/Off Switch —
The Emergency On/
Off switch should only be used when it is required to shut the
chiller off immediately. Power to the MBB, EMM, CXB, and
marquee display is interrupted when this switch is off and all
outputs from these modules will be turned off. The EXV board
is powered separately, but expansion valves will be closed as a
result of the loss of communication with the MBB. There is no
pumpout cycle when this switch is used. See Fig. 6.
Reset Button —
A reset button is located on the fuse/
circuit breaker panel for unit sizes 130-210 and associated
modules. The reset button must be pressed to reset either
Circuit Ground Fault board in the event of a trip.
Board Addresses —
The Main Base Board (MBB) has
a 3-position Instance jumper that must be set to ‘1.’ All other
boards have 4-position DIP switches. All switches are set to
‘On’ for all boards.

Control Module Communication
RED LED — Proper operation of the control boards can be
visually checked by looking at the red status LEDs (lightemitting diodes). When operating correctly, the red status
LEDs should be blinking in unison at a rate of once every
2 seconds. If the red LEDs are not blinking in unison, verify
that correct power is being supplied to all modules. Be sure that
the Main Base Board (MBB) is supplied with the current software. If necessary, reload current software. If the problem still
persists, replace the MBB. A red LED that is lit continuously or
blinking at a rate of once per second or faster indicates that the
board should be replaced.
GREE N LED — The MBB has one green LED. The Local
Equipment Network (LEN) LED should always be blinking
whenever power is on. All other boards have a LEN LED
which should be blinking whenever power is on. Check LEN
connections for potential communication errors at the board J3
and/or J4 connectors. Communication between modules is accomplished by a 3-wire sensor bus. These 3 wires run in parallel from module to module. The J4 connector on the MBB provides both power and communication directly to the marquee
display only .
YELLOW LED — The MBB has one yellow LED. The
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) LED will blink during times
of network communication.
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) Interface —
The 30GTN,R chiller units can be connected to the CCN if
desired. The communication bus wiring is a shielded,
3-conductor cable with drain wire and is supplied and installed
in the field. The system elements are connected to the communication bus in a daisy chain arrangement. The positive pin of
each system element communication connector must be wired
to the positive pins of the system elements on either side of it.
This is also required for the negative and signal ground pins of
each system element. Wiring connections for CCN should be
made at TB3. Consult the CCN Contractor ’s Manual for further information.
NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be 20 AWG (American Wire Gage) minimum stranded, tinned copper. Individual
conductors must be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon, vinyl,
Teflon, or polyethylene. An aluminum/polyester 100% foil
shield and an outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl,
or Teflon with a minimum operating temperature range of
–20 C to 60 C is required. Wire manufactured by Alpha (2413
or 5463), American (A22503), Belden (8772), or Columbia
(02525) meets the above mentioned requirements.
It is important when connecting to a CCN communication
bus that a color coding scheme be used for the entire network
to simplify the installation. It is recommended that red be used
for the signal positive, black for the signal negative, and white
for the signal ground. Use a similar scheme for cables containing different colored wires.
At each system element, the shields of its communic ation
bus cables must be tied together. If the communication bus is
entirely within one building, the resulting continuous shield
must be connected to a ground at one point only. If the communication bus cable exits from one building and enters another,
the shields must be connected to grounds at the lightning suppressor in each building where the cable enters or exits the
building (one point per building only). To connect the unit to
the network:
1. Turn off power to the control box.
2. Cut the CCN wire and strip the ends of the red (+), white
(ground), and black (–) conductors. (Substitute appropriate colors for different colored cables.)
3. Connect the red wire to (+) terminal on TB3 of the plug,
the white wire to COM terminal, and the black wire to the
(–) terminal.
4. The RJ14 CCN connector on TB3 can also be used, but is
only intended for temporary connection (for example, a
laptop computer running Service Tool).
IMPORTANT: A shorted CCN bus cable will prevent
some routines from running and may prevent the unit
from starting. If abnormal conditions occur, unplug the
connector. If conditions return to normal, check the
CCN connector and cable. Run new cable if necessary.
A short in one section of the bus can cause probl ems
with all sys tem elem en ts on th e bu s.

Sensor T10 (part no. HH51BX006) is an accessory sensor that
is remotely mounted in the controlled space and used for space
temperature reset. The sensor should be installed as a
wall-mounted thermostat would be (in the conditioned space
where it will not be subjected to either a cooling or heating
source or direct exposure to sunlight, and 4 to 5 ft above the
floor). The push button override button is not supported by the
ComfortLink™ Controls.
Space temperature sensor wires are t o be connected to terminals in the unit main control box. The space temperature
sensor includes a terminal block (SEN) and a RJ11 female connector. The RJ1 1 connector is used to tap into the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) at the sensor.
T o connect the space temperature sensor (Fig. 11):
1. Using a 20 AWG (American Wire Gage) twisted pair

Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TXV) —
Fig. 13 — Compressor Protection Control
System Module — Sizes 040-110
Fig. 14 — Compressor Ground Fault Module
— Sizes 130-210
30GTN,R and 30GUN,R 040-110 units are available from the
factory with conventional TXVs with liquid line solenoids. The
liquid line solenoid valves are not intended to be a mechanical
shut-off. When service is required, use the liquid line service
valve to pump down the system.
NOTE: This option is not available for modular units.
The TXV is set at the factory to maintain approximately 8 to
12° F (4.4 to 6.7° C) suction superheat leaving the cooler by
metering the proper amount of refrigerant into the cooler. All
TXVs are adjustable, but should not be adjusted unless abso-lutely necessary. When TXV is used, thermistors T5, T 6, T7,
and T8 are not required.
The TXV is designed to limit the cooler saturated suctio n
temperature to 55 F (12.8 C). This makes it possible for unit to
start at high cooler fluid temperatures without overloading the
compressor.
Compressor Protection Control System (CPCS
[CPCS — Standard on Sizes 080-110 and
Optional on Sizes 040-070]) or Control Relay
(CR) — 30GTN,R and 30GUN,R 040-110 —
compressor has its own CPCS module or CR. See Fig. 13 for
CPCS module. The CPCS or CR is used to control and protect
the compressors and crankcase heaters. The CPCS and CR provide the following functions:
•compressor contactor control/crankcase heater
•crankcase heater control
•compressor ground current protection (CPCS only)
•status communication to processo r board
•high-pressure protection
One large relay is located on the CPCS board. This relay
controls the crankcase heater and compressor contactor, and
also provides a set of signal contacts that the microprocessor
monitors to determine the operating status of the compressor. If
the processor board determines that the compressor is not operating properly through the signal contacts, it will lock the compressor off by deenergizing the proper 24-v control relay on the
relay board. The CPCS board contains logic that can detect if
the current-to-ground of any compressor winding exceeds
2.5 amps. If this condition occurs, the CPCS shuts down the
compressor.
A high-pressure switch is wired in series between the MBB
and the CR or CPCS. On compressor A1 and B1 a loss-ofcharge switch is also wired in series with the high-pressure
switch. If the high-pressure switch opens during operation of a
compressor, the compressor will be stopped, the failure will be
detected through the signal contacts, and the compressor will
be locked off. If the le ad compressor in eithe r circuit is shut
down by the high-pressure switch, loss-of-charge switch,
ground current protector, or oil safety switch, all compressors
in that circuit are shut down.
NOTE: The CR operates the same as the CPCS, except the
ground current circuit protection is not provided.
Compressor Ground Current Protection
Board (CGF) and Control Relay (CR) —
30GTN,R and 30GUN,R 130-210, and associated modular
units (see T a ble 1) contain one compressor ground current protection board (CGF) (see Fig. 14) for each refrigeration circuit.
The CGF contains logic that can detect if the current-to-ground
Model
Each
The
of any compressor winding exceeds 2.5 amps. If this occurs,
the lead compressor in that circuit is shut down along with other compressors in that circuit.
A high-pressure switch is wired in series between the MBB
and the CR. On compressor A1 and B1 a loss-of-charge switch
is also wired in series with the high-pressure swit ch. The lead
compressor in each circuit also has the CGF contacts described
above. If any of these switches open during operation of a compressor, the CR relay is deenergized, stopping the compressor
and signaling the processor at the MBB-J9 inputs to lock out
the compressor. If the lead compressor in either circuit is shut
down by high-pressure switch, compressor ground fault, oil
pressure switch, or the loss-of-charge switch, all compressors
in that circuit are also shut down.

Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV) (See
Fig. 15 — Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV)
Fig. 15) —
EXV. This device eliminates the use of the liquid line solenoid
pumpdown at unit shutdown. An O-ring has been added t o bottom of orifice a ssem bly to com plete a se al i n the v alve on s hutdown. This is not a mechanical shut-off. When service is
required, use the liquid line service val ve to pump down the
system.
High pressure refrigerant enters bottom of val ve where it
passes through a group of machined slots in side of orifice assembly. As refrigerant passes through the orifice, it drops in
pressure. To control flow of refrigerant, the sleeve slides up and
down along orifice assembly, modulating the size of orifice.
The sleeve is moved by a linear stepper motor that moves in increments controlled directly by the processor. As stepper motor
rotates, the moti on is translated into li near movement of lead
screw. There are 1500 discrete steps with this combination. The
valve orifice begins to be exposed at 320 steps. Since there is
not a tight seal with the orifice and the sleeve, the minimum position for operation is 120 steps.
Two thermistors are used to determine suction superheat .
One thermistor is located in the cooler and the othe r is locat ed
in the cylinder end of the compressor after refrigerant has
passed over the motor. The difference between the 2 thermistors is the suction superheat. These machines are set up to
provide approximately 5 to 7 F (2.8 to 3.9 C) superheat leaving
the cooler. Motor cooling accounts for approximately 22 F
(12.2 C) on 30GTN,R units and 16 F (8.9 C) on 30GUN,R
units, resulting in a superheat entering compressor cylinders of
approximately 29 F (16.1 C) for 30GTN,R units and 23 F
(12.8 C) for 30GUN,R units.
Because the valves are controlled by the EXV module, it is
possible to track the position of the valve. Valve position can be
used to control head pressure and system refrigerant charge.
During initial start-up, the EXV module will drive each
valve fully closed. After initialization period, valve position is
controlled by the EXV module and the MBB.
The EXV is used to limit the maximum cooler saturated
suction temperature to 55 F (12.8 C). This makes it possible for
the chiller to start at high cooler fluid temperatures without
overloading the compressor.
Energy Management Module (Fig. 16) —
factory-installed option or field-installed accessory is used for
the following types of temperature reset, demand limit, and/or
ice featu res :
•4 to 20 mA leaving fluid temperature reset (requires
field-supplied 4 to 20 mA generator)
•4 to 20 mA cooling set point reset (requires field-

an even number of unloaders is present. The 040-070 units
require an accessory unloader to be installed on the B1 compressor for the lead-lag feature to be in effect.
If the circuit has been off for 15 minutes, and the unit is a
TXV unit, liquid line solenoid will remain closed during startup of each circuit for 15 seconds while the cooler and suction
lines are purged of any liquid refrigerant. For units with EXVs,
the lead compressor will be signaled to start. The EXV will remain at minimum position for 10 seconds before it is allowed
to modulate.
After the purge period, the EXV will begin to meter the refrigerant, or the liquid line solenoid will open allowing the
TXV to meter the refrigerant to the cooler. If the off-time is less
than 15 minutes, the EXV will be opened as soon as the compressor starts.
The EXVs will open gradually to provide a controlled startup to prevent liquid flood-back to the compressor. During startup, the oil pressure switch is bypassed for 2 minutes to allow
for the transient changes during start-up. As additional stages
of compression are required, the processor control will add
them. See Tables 5A and 5B.
If a circuit is to be stopped, the control will first start to close
the EXV or close the liquid line solenoid valve.
For units with TXVs
, the lag compressor(s) will be shut
down and the lead compressor will continue to operate for
10 seconds to purge the cooler of any refrigerant.
For units with EXVs
, the lag compressor(s) will be shut
down and the lead compressor will continue to run. After t he
lag compressor(s) has shut down, the EXV is signaled to close.
The lead compressor will remain on for 10 seconds after the
EXV is closed.
During both algorithms (TXV and EXV), all diagnostic
conditions will be honored. If a safety trip or alarm condition is
detected before pumpdown is complete, the circuit will be shut
down.

TEST 2
The capacity control algorithm runs every 30 seconds. The
algorithm attempts to maintain the leaving chilled water temperature at the control point. Each time it runs, the control reads
the entering and leaving fluid temperatures. The control determines the rate at which conditions are changing and calculates
2 variables based on these conditions. Next, a capacity ratio is
calculated using the 2 variables to determine whether or not to
make any changes to the current stages of capacity. This ratio
value ranges from –100 to + 100%. If the next stage of capacity
is a compressor, the control starts (stops) a compressor when
the ratio reaches +100% (–100%). If the next stage of capacity
is an unloader, the control deenergizes (energizes) an unloader
when the ratio reaches +60% (–60%). Unloaders are allowed to
cycle faster than compressors, to minimize the number of starts
and stops on each compressor. A delay of 90 seconds occurs after each capacity step change.

NOTE: These capacity control steps may vary due to lag compressor sequencing.
ADDING ADDITIONAL UNLOADERS — See Table 6
below for required hardware.
Follow accessory instructions for installation. Connect unloader coil leads to P INK wir es in com pr essor A1 /B1 ju ncti on
box. Configuration items CA.UN and CB.UN in the OPT1
sub-mode of the configuration mode must be changed to match
the new number of unloaders. Two unloaders cannot be used
with hot gas bypass on a single circuit.
MINUTES LEFT FOR START — This value is displayed
only in the network display tables (using Service Tool or
ComfortWORKS® software) and represents the amount of
time to elapse before the unit will start its initialization routine.
This value can be zero without the machine running in many
situations. This can include being unoccupied, ENABLE/OFF/
REMOTE CONTACT switch in the OFF position, CCN not
allowing unit to start, Demand Limit in effect, no call for cooling due to no load, and alarm or alert conditions pre se nt. If the
machine should be running and none of the above are true, a
minimum off time (DELY, see below) may be in effect. The
machine should start normally once the time limit has expired.
MINUTES OFF TIME (DELY, Configuration Mode under
OPT2) — This user configurable time period is used by the
control to determine how long unit operation is delayed after
power is applied/restored to the unit. T ypically, this time period
is configured when multiple machines are located on a single
site. For example, this gives the user t he ability to prevent all
the units from restarting at once after a power failure. A val ue
of zero for this variable does not mean that the unit should be
running.
LOADING SEQUENCE — The 30GTN,R and 30GUN,R
compressor efficiency is greatest at par tial lo ad. Th erefore, t he
following sequence list applies to capacity control.
The next compressor will be started with unloaders energized on both lead compressors.
All valid capacity combinations using unloaders will be
used as long as the total capacity is increasing.
LEAD/LAG DETERMINATION (LLCS, Configuration
Mode under OPT2) — This is a configurable choice and is
factory set to be automatic (for sizes 080-420) or Circuit A
leading (for 040-070 sizes). For 040-070 sizes, the value can be
changed to Automatic or Circuit B only if an accessory unloader is added to compressor B1. For 080-420 sizes, the value can
be changed to Circuit A or Circuit B leading, as desired. Set at
automatic, the control will sum the current number of logged
circuit starts and one-quarter of the current operating hours for
each circuit. The circuit with the lowest sum is started first.
Changes to which circuit is the lead circuit and which is the lag
are also made when total machine capacity is at 100% or when
there is a change in the direction of capacity (increase or decrease) and each circuit’s capacity is equal.
CAPACITY SEQUENCE DETERMINATION (LOAD,
Configuration Mode under OPT2) — This is configurable as
equal circuit loading or staged circuit loading with the default
set at equal. The control determines the order in which the steps
of capacity for each circuit are changed. This control
choice does NOT have any impact on machines with only
2 compressors.
CAPACITY CONTROL OVERRIDES — The following
overrides will modify the normal operation of the routine.
Deadband Multiplier
— The user configurable Deadband
Multiplier (Z.GN, Configuration Mode under SLCT) has a
default value of 1.0. The range is from 1.0 to 4.0. When set to
other than 1.0, this factor is a pplied to the capacity Load/Unload Factor. The larger this value is set, the longer the control
will delay between adding or removing stages of capacity.
Figure 17 shows how compressor starts can be reduced over
time if the leaving water temperature is allowed to drift a larger
amount above and below the set point. This value should be set
in the range of 3.0 to 4.0 for systems with small loop volumes.
First Stage Override
— If the current capa city stage is zero,
the control will modify the routine with a 1.2 factor on adding
the first stage to reduce cycling. This factor is also applied
when the control is attempting to remove the last stage of
capacity.
Slow Change Override
— The control prevents the capacity
stages from being changed when the leaving fluid temperature
is close to the set point (within an adjustable de adband) and
moving towards the set point.
Ramp Loading
(CRMP, Configuration Mode under SLCT) —
Limits the rate of change of leaving fluid temperature. If the
unit is in a Cooling mode and configured for Ramp Loading,
the control makes 2 comparisons before deciding to change
stages of capacity. The control calculates a temperature difference between the control point and leaving fluid temperature. If
the difference is greater than 4° F (2.2° C) and the rate of
change (°F or °C per minute) is more than the configured Cooling Ramp Loading value (CRMP), the control does not allow
any changes to the current stage of capacity.
Low Entering Fluid Temperature Unloading
— When the
entering fluid temperature is below the control point, the control will attempt to remove 25% of the current stages bei ng
used. If exactly 25% cannot be removed, the control re moves
an amount greater than 25% but no more than necessary. The
lowest stage will not be removed.

Low Cooler Suction Temperature
— To avoid freezing the
cooler, the control will compare the circuit Cooler Suction temperature (T5/T6) with a predetermined freeze point. If the cooler fluid selected is Water, the freeze point is 34 F (1.1 C ). If the
cooler fluid selected is Brine, the freeze point i s 8° F (4.4 ° C)
below the cooling set point (or lower of two cooling set points
in dual set point configurations). If the cooler suction temperature is 24° to 29° F (13.3° to 16.1° C) below the cooler leaving
water temperature and is also 2° F (1.1° C) less than the freeze
point for 5 minutes, Mode 7 (Circuit A) or Mode 8 (Circuit B)
is initiated and no additional capacity increase is allowed. The
circuit will be allowed to run in this condition. If the cooler suction temperature is more than 30° F (16.7° C) below the cooler
leaving water temperature and is also 2° F (1.1° C) below the
freeze point for 10 minutes, the circuit will be stoppe d without
going through pumpdown.
Cooler Freeze Protection
— The control will try to prevent
shutting the chiller down on a Cooler Freeze Protection alarm
by removing stages of capacity. The control uses the same
freeze point logic as described in the Low Cooler Suction Temperature section above. If the cooler leaving fluid temperature
is less than the freeze point plus 2.0° F (1.1° C), the control will
immediately remove one stage of capacity. This can be repeated once every 30 seconds.
MOP (Maximum Operating Pressure) Override
— The control monitors saturated condensing and suction temperature for
each circuit. Based on a maximum operating set point (saturated suction temperature), the control may lower the EX V position when system pressures approach the set parameters.
Head Pressure Control
COMFORTLINK™ UNITS (With EXV) — The Main Base
Board (MBB) controls the condenser fans to maintain the lowest condensing temperature possible, and thus the highest unit
efficiency. The fans are controlled by the saturated condensing
temperature set from the factory. The fans can also be controlled by a combination of the saturated condensing temperature, EXV position and compressor superheat. Fan control is a
configurable decision and is determined by the Head Pressure
Control Method (HPCM) setting in the Configuration Mode
under the OPT1 sub-mode. For EXV control (HPCM = 1),
when the position of the EXV is fully open, T3 and T4 are less
than 78 F (25.6 C), and superheat is greater than 40 F (22.2 C),
fan stages will be removed. When th e valve is less than 40%
open, or T3 and T4 are greater than 113 F (45 C), fan stages
will be added. At each change of th e fan stage, the system will
wait one minute to allow the head pressure to stabilize unless
either T3 or T4 is greater than 125 F (51.6 C), in which case all
MBB-controlled fans will start immediately. This method
allows the unit to run at very low condensing temperatures at
part load.
During the first 10 minutes after circuit start-up, MBBcontrolled fans are not turned on until T3 and T4 a re greater
than the head pressure set point plus 10 F (5.6 C). If T3 and T4
are greater than 95 F (35 C) just prior to circuit start-up, all
MBB-controlled fan stages are t urned on to prevent excessive
discharge pressure during pull-down. Fan sequences are shown
in Fig. 17.
UNITS WITH TXV — The logic to cycle MBB-controlled
fans is based on saturated condensing temperature only, as
sensed by thermistors T3 and T4 (see Fig. 8 and 10). When
either T3 or T4 exceeds the head pressure set point, the MBB
will turn on an additional stage of fans. For the first 10 minutes
of each circuit operation, the head pressure set point is raised
by 10° F (5.6° C). It will turn off a fan stage when T3 and T4
are both below the head pressure set point by 35° F (19.4° C).
At each change of a fan stage the control will wait for one
minute for head pressure to stabilize unless T3 and T4 is greater than 125 F (51.6 C), in which case all MBB-controlled fans
start immediately. If T3 and T4 are greater than 95 F (35.0 C)
just prior to circuit start-up, all MBB-controlled fan stages are
turned on to prevent excessive discharge pressure during pulldown. Fan sequences are shown in Fig. 18.
Motormaster® Option
— For low-ambient operation, the lead
fan(s) in each circuit can be equipped with the Motormaster III
head pressure controller option or accessory. Wi nd baffles and
brackets must be field-fabricated for all units using accessory
Motormaster III controls to ensure proper cooling cycle operation at low-ambient temperatures. The fans controlled are those
that are energized with the lead compres sor in each circuit. All
sizes use one controller per circuit. Refer to Fig. 18 for condenser fan staging information.
Pumpout
EXV UNITS — When the lead compressor in each circ uit is
started or stopped, that circuit goes through a pumpout cycle to
purge the cooler and refrigerant suction lines of refrigerant. If a
circuit is starting within 15 minutes of the last shutdown, the
pumpout cycle will be skipped.
The pumpout cycle starts immediately upon starting the
lead compressor and keeps the EXV at minimum position for
10 seconds. The EXV is then opened an additional percentage
and compressor superheat control begins. At this point, the
EXV opens gradually to provide a controlled start-up to prevent liquid flood-back to the compressor.
At shutdown, the pumpout cycle continuously closes the
EXV until all lag compressors are off and the EXV is at 0%.
The lead compressor continues to run for an additional 10 seconds and is then shut off.
TXV UNITS — Pumpout is based on timed pumpout. On a
command for start-up, the lead compressor starts. After 15 seconds, the liquid line solenoid opens. At shutdown, the liquid
line solenoid closes when the lead compressor has stopped.

Configuring and Operating Dual Chiller Control (See Table 18) —
able for the control of two units supplying chilled fluid on a
common loop. This control is designed for a parallel fluid flow
arrangement only. One chiller must be configured as the master
chiller, the other as the slave chiller. An additional leaving fluid
temperature thermistor (Dual Chiller LWT) must be installed
as shown in Fig. 20 and connected to the master chiller. See
Field Wiring section for Dual Chiller L WT sensor wiring.
To configure the two chillers for opera tion, follow the example shown in Table 18. The master chiller will be configured
with a slave chiller at address 6. Also in this example, the master chiller will be configured to use Lead/Lag Balance to even
out the chiller runtimes weekly. The Lag Start Delay feature
will be set to 10 minutes. The master and slave chillers cannot
have the same CCN address (CCNA, Configuration mode under OPT2). Both chillers must have the control method variable
(CTRL, Configuration mode under OPT2) set to ‘3.’ In addi-
tion, the chillers must both be connected together on the sam e
CCN bus. Connections can be made to the CCN screw terminals on TB3 in both chillers. The master chiller will determine
which chiller will be Lead and which will be Lag. The master
chiller controls the slave chiller by forcing the slave chiller’s
CCN START/STOP variable (CHIL_S_S), control point
(CTPT) and demand limit (DEM_LIM).
The master chiller is now configured for dual chiller operation. To configure the slave chiller, only the LLEN and MSSL
variables need to be set. Enable the Lead/ Lag chiller enable
variable (LLEN) as shown Table 18. Similarly, set the M aster/
Slave Select variable (MSSL) to SLVE. The variables LLBL,
LLBD, an LLDY are not used by the slave chiller.
Refer to Field Wiring section on page 67 for wiring
information.
