Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by
qualied personnel who are familiar with local codes and
regulations, and experienced with this type of equipment.
WARNING
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential injury hazard.
Avoid contact with them.
InsTallaTIonand sTarTup
InsTallaTIonand sTarTup
For pad-mounted units, it is recommended that the unit be
raised a few inches with suitable supports such as neoprene
wafe vibration pads, located at least under the mounting
locations. This will allow water to drain from under the unit and
facilitate cleaning under it.
Figure 1: Required Lifting Method
Startup by a Daikin Applied service representative is included
on all Pathnder® units sold for installation within the U.S.
and Canada and must be performed by them to initiate the
standard Limited Product Warranty. Startup by any party other
than a Daikin Applied service representative will void the
Limited Product Warranty. Two-week prior notication of startup
is required. The contractor should obtain a copy of the Startup
Scheduled Request Form from the sales representative or from
the nearest Daikin Applied service ofce.
WARNING
Escaping refrigerant can displace air and cause suffocation.
Immediately evacuate and ventilate the equipment area. If
the unit is damaged, follow Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) requirements. Do not expose sparks, arcing equipment,
open ame or other ignition source to the refrigerant.
Handling
DANGER
Improper lifting or moving of a unit can result in property
damage, severe personal injury or death. Follow rigging and
moving instructions carefully.
Avoid rough handling shock due to impact or dropping the unit.
Do not push or pull the unit. Never allow any part of the unit
to fall during unloading or moving as this can result in serious
damage.
To lift the unit, lifting tabs with 3” (76 mm) diameter holes
are provided on the base of the unit. All lifting holes must be
used when lifting the unit. Spreader bars and cables should
be arranged to prevent damage to the condenser coils or unit
cabinet (see Figure 1).
Location
Locate the unit outdoors and provide proper airow to the
condenser. (See page 5 for required clearances.)Using
less clearance than shown in Figure 2 can cause discharge
air recirculation to the condenser and could have a signicant
detrimental effect on unit performance.
Due to the shape of the condenser coils on Pathnder® chillers,
it is recommended that the unit be oriented so that prevailing
winds blow parallel to the unit length, thus minimizing the wind
effect on condensing pressure and performance. If low ambient
temperature operation is expected, optional louvers should be
installed if the unit has no protection against prevailing winds.
The inside of the base rail is open to allow access for securing
mounting bolts, etc.

Service Access
Compressors, lter-driers, and manual liquid line shutoff valves
are accessible on each side or end of the unit. The evaporator
heater is located on the barrel.
The control panels are located on the end of the chiller.
The left-hand control box contains the unit and circuit
microprocessors as well as transformers, fuses and terminal.
The right-hand panel contains a circuit breaker. A minimum
of four feet of clearance is required in front of the panels. The
side clearance required for airow provides sufcient service
clearance.
On all Pathnder® units, the condenser fans and motors can
be removed from the top of the unit. The complete fan/motor
assembly can be removed for service. The fan blade must be
removed for access to wiring terminals at the top of the motor.
DANGER
Disconnect, lockout and tag all power to the unit before
servicing condenser fan motors or compressors. Failure to do
so can cause bodily injury or death.
Do not block access to the sides or ends of the unit with piping
or conduit. These areas must be open for service access.
Do not block access to the control panels with eld-mounted
disconnect switches.
Clearance Requirements
The clearance requirements shown are a general guideline and
cannot account for all scenarios. Such factors as prevailing
winds, additional equipment within the space, design outdoor
air temperature, and numerous other factors may require more
clearance than what is shown.
Figure 2: Guidelines
NOTE: 1 Minimum side clearance between two units is 12
feet (3.7 m). See Case 2 for spacing closer than 12 ft.
2 Minimum clearance on each side is 8 feet (2.4 m)
when installed in a pit no deeper than the unit height.
Unit must not be installed in a pit or enclosure that
is deeper or taller than the height of the unit unless
extra clearance is provided per note 4. See Case 5
for performance adjustment factors when installations
vary from minimum values.
3 Minimum side clearance to a side wall or building
taller than the unit height is 6 feet (1.8 meters),
provided no solid wall above 6 feet (1.8 meters) is
closer than 12 feet (3.7 meters) to the opposite side
of the unit. See Case 1 for performance adjustment
factors when installations vary from minimum values.
4 There must be no obstruction of the fan discharge.
Restricted Air Flow
The clearances required for design operation of Pathnder®
air-cooled chillers are described in the previous section.
Occasionally, these clearances cannot be maintained due to
site restrictions such as units being too close together or a
fence or wall restricting airow, or both. Pathnder® chillers
have several features that may help mitigate the penalties
attributable to restricted airow.
The condenser section is “W” shaped, as shown below. This
allows inlet air for these coils to come in from both sides
and the bottom. All the coils in one “V” section serve one
compressor except for 3 circuit units which use both sides of
the “W” shaped condenser coil..
The MicroTech® III control is proactive in response to “offdesign conditions”. In the case of single or compounded
inuences restricting airow to the unit, the microprocessor will
act to keep the unit running (at reduced capacity), rather than
allowing a shut-off on high discharge pressure.

InsTallaTIonand sTarTup
Case 1: Building or Wall on One Side of Unit
The existence of a screening wall or the wall of a building
in close proximity to an air-cooled chiller is common in both
rooftop and ground level applications. Hot air recirculation
on the coils adjoining the wall will increase compressor
discharge pressure, decreasing capacity and increasing power
consumption.
When close to a wall, it is desirable to place chillers on the
north or east side of them. It is also desirable to have prevailing
winds blowing parallel to the unit’s long axis. The worst case is
to have wind blowing hot discharge air into the wall.
Figure 4: Case 1 - Unit Adjacent to Wall
Figure 5: Case 1 - Adjustment Factors
Case 2: Two Units Side By Side
Two or more units sited side by side are common. If spaced
closer than 12 feet (3.7 meters) it is necessary to adjust the
performance of each unit; circuits adjoining each other are
affected. If one of the two units also has a wall adjoining it, see
Case 1. Add the two adjustment factors together and apply to
the unit located between the wall and the other unit.
Mounting units end to end will not necessitate adjusting
performance. Do not use pit or solid wall surrounds where the
ambient air temperature exceeds 100°F (38°C).

InsTallaTIonand sTarTup
Case 3: Three or More Units Side By Side
When three or more units are side by side, the outside chillers
(1 and 3 in this case) are inuenced by the middle unit only on
their inside circuits. Their adjustment factors will be the same
as Case 2. All inside units (only number 2 in this case) are
inuenced on both sides and must be adjusted by the factors
shown below.
Figure 8: Case 3 - Three or More Units
Figure 9: Case 3 - Adjustment Factors
Case 4: Open Screening Walls
Decorative screening walls are often used to help conceal a
unit either on grade or on a rooftop. Design these walls such
that the combination of their open area and distance from the
unit do not require performance adjustment. It is assumed that
the wall height is equal to or less than the unit height when
mounted on its base support. This is usually satisfactory for
concealment. If the wall height is greater than the unit height,
see Case 5, Pit Installation.
The distance from the sides of the unit to the side walls must
be sufcient for service, such as opening control panel doors.
If each side wall is a different distance from the unit, the
distances can be averaged providing either wall is not less than
8 feet (2.4 meters) from the unit. For example, do not average
4 feet and 20 feet to equal 12 feet (1 meter and 5 meters to
equal 3 meters).

Case 5: Pit/Solid Wall Installation
Pit installations can cause operating problems resulting
from recirculation and restriction can both occur. A solid wall
surrounding a unit is substantially the same as a pit and the
data presented here should be used.
Steel grating is sometimes used to cover a pit to prevent
accidental falls or trips into the pit. The grating material and
installation design must be strong enough to prevent such
accidents, yet provide abundant open area to avoid serious
recirculation problems. Have any pit installation reviewed by a
Daikin Applied sales representative prior to installation to make
sure it has sufcient air-ow characteristics, and approved by
the installation design engineer to avoid risk of accident.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the evaporator and potential chiller
failure, a supply strainer is required in the inlet water piping
which connects to this evaporator. This strainer must be
installed prior to operation of the chilled liquid pumps.
Field installed water piping to the chiller must include:
• A cleanable strainer installed at the water inlet to the
evaporator to remove debris and impurities before they
reach the evaporator. Install cleanable strainer within
5 feet (1500 mm) of pipe length from the evaporator
inlet connection and downstream of any welded
connections (no welded connections between strainer
and evaporator).
• AWS-C models require a strainer with perforations no
larger than 0.125” (3.2 mm) diameter. See the Inlet
Strainer Guidelines on page 10 for more information.
• A water ow switch must be installed in the horizontal
piping of the supply (evaporator outlet) water line to avoid
evaporator freeze-up under low or no ow conditions. The
ow switch may be ordered as a factory-installed option,
a eld-installed kit, or may be supplied and installed in the
eld. See page 11 for more information.
• Purge air from the water system before unit start-up to
provide adequate ow through the evaporator.
• Adequate piping support, independent from the unit,
to eliminate weight and strain on the ttings and
connections.
It is recommended that the eld installed water piping to the
chiller include:
• Thermometers at the inlet and outlet connections of the
evaporator.
• Water pressure gauge connection taps and gauges at

the inlet and outlet connections of the evaporator for

• Shutoff valves are necessary to isolate the unit from the
piping during unit servicing.
• Minimum bends and changes in elevation to minimize
pressure drop.
• An expansion tank or regulating valve to maintain
adequate water pressure
• Vibration eliminators in both the supply and return water
lines to reduce transmissions to the building.
• Flush the system water piping thoroughly before making
connections to the unit evaporator.
• Piping insulation, including a vapor barrier, helps prevent
condensation and reduces heat loss.
• Regular water analysis and chemical water treatment
for the evaporator loop is recommended immediately at
equipment start-up.
Chilled Water Pump
It is important that the chilled water pumps be wired to, and
controlled by, the chiller controller. The chiller controller has
the capability to selectively start pump A or B or automatically
alternate pump selection and also has standby operation
capability. The controller will energize the pump whenever at
least one circuit on the chiller is enabled to run, whether there
is a call for cooling or not. This helps ensure proper unit startup
sequence. The pump will also be turned on when the water
temperature goes below the Freeze Setpoint for longer than
a specied time to help prevent evaporator freeze-up. Wiring
connection points are shown in Figure 56 on page 60.

CAUTION
Adding glycol or draining the system is the recommended
method of freeze protection. If the chiller does not have the
ability to control the pumps and the water system is not drained
in temperatures below freezing, catastrophic evaporator
failure may occur. Adding glycol or draining the system is the
recommended method of freeze protection. If the chiller does
not have the ability to control the pumps and the water system
is not drained in temperatures below freezing, catastrophic
evaporator failure may occur.
Failure to allow pump control by the chiller controller may
cause the following problems:
1. If any device other than the chiller attempts to start the
chiller without rst starting the pump, the chiller will lock
out on the No Flow alarm and require manual reset.
2. If the chiller evaporator water temperature drops below
the “Freeze setpoint” the chiller will attempt to start the
water pumps to avoid evaporator freeze. If the chiller
does not have the ability to start the pumps, the chiller
will alarm due to lack of water ow.
3. If the chiller does not have the ability to control the
pumps and the water system is not to be drained in
temperatures below freezing, the chiller may be subject
to catastrophic evaporator failure due to freezing. The
freeze rating of the evaporator is based on the immersion
heater and pump operation. The immersion heater itself
may not be able to properly protect the evaporator from
freezing without circulation of water.
Inlet Strainer Guidelines
An inlet water strainer kit must be installed in the chilled water
piping before the evaporator inlet. Two paths are available to
meet this requirement:
1. A eld-installed kit shipped-loose with the unit is available
for all unit sizes and consists of:
• Y-type area strainer with 304 stainless steel perforated
basket, Victaulic pipe connections and strainer cap [a
strainer with perforations no larger than 0.125” (3.2
mm) diameter for AWS-C models].
• Extension pipe with two Schrader ttings that can be
used for a pressure gauge and thermal dispersion ow
switch. The pipe provides sufcient clearance from the
evaporator for strainer basket removal.
• ½-inch blowdown valve
• Two grooved clamps
The strainer is sized per Table 2 and has the pressure drop
shown in the Strainer Pressure Drop graph. Connection sizes
are given in the Pressure Drop Data section on page 82.
2. A eld-supplied strainer that meets specication and
installation requirements of this manual.

Installing Inlet Strainer (Field-installed Kit)
The extension pipe is located adjacent to the evaporator with
the strainer then mounted to it. The strainer must be mounted
per manufacturer’s instruction with the arrows in the direction
of ow; inlet and outlet are noted along with the arrows.
Use one Victaulic clamp to mount the extension pipe to the
evaporator and the second to mount the strainer to the pipe.
The clamps to mount the eld piping to the strainer are eld
supplied. The piping and strainer must be supported to prevent
any stress on the evaporator nozzle.
The extension pipe has two Schrader ttings that can be
used as desired. The ball valve can be installed in the strainer
basket cover as a blow-down valve.
System Water Volume
All chilled water systems need adequate time to recognize a
load change, respond to that load change and stabilize, without
undesirable short cycling of the compressors or loss of control.
In air conditioning systems, the potential for short cycling
usually exists when the building load falls below the minimum
chiller plant capacity or on close-coupled systems with very
small water volumes.
Some of the things the designer should consider when looking
at water volume are the minimum cooling load, the minimum
chiller plant capacity during the low load period and the desired
cycle time for the compressors.
Assuming that there are no sudden load changes and that
the chiller plant has reasonable turndown, a rule of thumb of
IOM 1202-2 • PATHFINDER® MODEL AWS CHILLERS 10 www.DaikinApplied.com
Page 13
InsTallaTIonand sTarTup
“gallons of water volume equal to two to three times the chilled
water gpm ow rate” is often used. Refer to AG 31-003 for
method of calculating “Minimum Chilled Water Volume”.
A properly designed storage tank may be added if the system
components do not provide sufcient water volume.
Variable Speed Pumping
Variable water ow involves reducing the water ow through
the evaporator as the load decreases. Daikin chillers are
designed for this duty, provided that the rate of change in water
ow is slow, and the minimum and maximum ow rates for the
evaporator are not exceeded.
The recommended maximum change in water ow is 10
percent of the change per minute. For example, if the
maximum (design) ow is 200 gpm and the ow is reduced
to a minimum of 140 gpm, the change in ow is 60 gpm, so
the maximum change per minute would be 10% of 60, or 6
gpm per minute. It would take ten minutes to change the ow
through the entire range.
The water ow through the evaporator must remain between
the minimum and maximum values listed, beginning on page
82. Note that units with variable chilled water ow can
tolerate lower minimum ows than constant ow systems. If
ow drops below the minimum allowable, large reductions in
heat transfer can occur. Unit set point “Variable Evap Flow”
must be set to “Yes”, if the chill water ow is variable. If the ow
exceeds the maximum rate, excessive pressure drop and tube
erosion can occur.
Evaporator Freeze Protection
Pathnder® chillers are equipped with thermostatically
controlled evaporator heaters that help protect against freezeup down to -20°F (-28°C). The immersion heater itself may not
be able to properly protect the evaporator from freezing without
circulation of water, and it is important that the chilled water
pumps are wired to, and controlled by, the chiller’s controller.
Additionally, use at least one of the following procedures during
periods of sub-freezing temperatures:
1. Add a concentration of a glycol anti-freeze with a freeze
point 10°F below the lowest expected temperature. This
will result in decreased capacity and increased pressure
drop. Do not use automotive grade antifreezes as they
contain inhibitors harmful to chilled water systems. Use
only glycols specically designated for use in building
cooling systems.
2. Drain the water from outdoor equipment and piping
and blow the chiller tubes dry from the chiller. Do not
energize the chiller heater when water is drained from
the vessel.
NOTE: The heaters come from the factory connected to
the control power circuit. The control power can be
rewired in the eld to a separate 115V supply (do
not wire directly to the heater). See the eld wiring
diagram on page 60. If this is done, it should power
the entire control circuit. Mark the disconnect switch
clearly to avoid accidental deactivation of the heater
during freezing temperatures. Exposed chilled water
piping also requires protection. If the evaporator is
drained for winter freeze protection, the heaters must
be de-energized to prevent heater burnout.

pumpable, usable liquid state. “Burst protection”
prevents pipes from rupturing, but solution may be in
a gel state and not pumpable. In most applications,
“burst” protection is sufcient; concentrations over
30% Ethylene Glycol or 35% Propylene Glycol will
result in efciency and capacity losses with negligible
protection increases and are not recommended.
These values are examples only and cannot be
appropriate to every situation. Generally, for an
extended margin of protection, select a temperature
at least 15°F lower than the expected lowest ambient
temperature. Inhibitor levels should be adjusted for
solutions less than 25% glycol.
Glycol of less than 25% concentration is not
recommended, unless inhibitors are adjusted,
because of the potential for bacterial growth and loss
of efciency.

Flow Switch
A ow switch must be included in the chilled water system to
prove that there is adequate water ow before the unit can
start. It also serves to shut down the unit in the event that
water ow is interrupted in order to guard against evaporator
freeze-up.
A factory-mounted, solid state, thermal dispersion ow switch
is available as an option.
A eld-installed and wired version for remote evaporators is
also available as a kit (Accessory part number 332688401).
A paddle-type ow switch for eld mounting and wiring is also
available as a kit (Accessory part number 017503300). It is
adaptable to pipe sizes from 1” (25mm) to 8” (203mm).
Installation should be per manufacturer’s instructions included
with the switch. There is also a set of normally closed contacts
on the switch that can be used for an indicator light or an alarm

to indicate when a “no ow” condition exists. Flow switches
should be calibrated to shut off the unit when operatred below
the minimum listed ow rate for the unit listed in the Pressure
Drop section beginning on page 82. The minimum required
pipe diameter before and after the switch is 1 1/4” (32 mm).

Refrigerant Charge
All packaged units are designed for use with R-134a and are
shipped with a full operating charge. The operating charge for
each unit is shown in the Physical Data Tables in the current
catalog, available at www.DaikinApplied.com.
CAUTION
Do not use automotive grade antifreeze. Industrial grade
glycols must be used. Automotive antifreeze contains
inhibitors that will cause plating on the copper tubes within the
chiller evaporator. The type and handling of glycol used must
be consistent with local codes.
Performance Adjustment Factors
AWS chillers are designed to operate with leaving anti-freeze
solution temperatures per software range limits. Consult the
local Daikin Applied sales ofce for performance outside
these temperatures. Leaving chilled uid temperatures below
40°F (4.4°C) result in evaporating temperatures at or below
the freezing point of water and a glycol solution is required.
MicroTech® III control inhibits compressor unloading at leaving
uid temperatures below 30°F (-1°C).
Low uid temperatures or high equipment room humidity
may require optional double evaporator insulation. The
system designer should determine its necessity. The use of
glycol will reduce the performance of the unit depending on
its concentration. Take this into consideration during initial
system design. On glycol applications, the supplier typically
recommends that a minimum of 25% solution by weight be
used for protection against corrosion, or additional inhibitors
will be required.
Glycol Solutions
When using glycol anti-freeze solutions, the chiller’s capacity,
glycol solution ow rate, and pressure drop through the
evaporator can be calculated using the following:
Note: The procedure below does not specify the type of
glycol. Use the derate factors found in Table 4 or Table 5 for
corrections when using glycol.
1. Capacity - Cooling capacity is reduced from that with
plain water. To nd the reduced value, multiply the
chiller’s water system tonnage by the capacity correction
factor to nd the chiller’s capacity when using glycol.
2. Flow - To determine ow (or Delta-T) knowing Delta-T (or
ow) and capacity:
GPM = (24) (tons) (ow factor)
Delta T
3. Pressure drop - To determine pressure drop through the
evaporator when using glycol, enter the water pressure
drop curve at the water ow rate. Multiply the water
pressure drop found there by the “PD” factor to obtain
corrected glycol pressure drop.
4. Power - To determine glycol system kW, multiply the
water system kW by the factor designated “Power”.
Test coolant with a clean, accurate glycol solution hydrometer
(similar to that found in service stations) or refractometer
to determine the freezing point. Obtain percent glycol from
the freezing point table below. On glycol applications, the
supplier normally recommends that a minimum of 25% solution
by weight be used for protection against corrosion or that
additional inhibitors should be employed.

Electrical Connections
All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local
and national codes. Pathnder® units can be ordered with
either standard multi-point power or optional single point power
connections and with various disconnect and circuit breaker
options. Wiring within the unit is sized in accordance with the
U.S.A. National Electrical Code. Field-supplied disconnect
switches are required if not factory-supplied with the unit.
Table 6: Electric Power Connection Option
Multi-Point
Power Connection
Standard:
Disconnect switch per circuit,
no compressor isolation
circuit breakers
Optional:
High short circuit current
rated panel with disconnect
switch and no isolation circuit
breakers
NOTE: Disconnect switches are molded case construction
with lockable through-the-door handles. They can
be used to remove the unit/circuit from the power
system.
The individual compressor isolation circuit breakers
for each circuit isolate the compressor and do not
have through-the-door handles. They are operable
only after the panel doors are opened.
The high short circuit rated panel means that a short
circuit current up to the ratings shown below will be
contained in the panel. There is a short period of
time when the circuit breaker will short circuit before
opening a circuit that can damage downstream
components. In other words, the enclosure is stronger
than a standard enclosure. It has a high interrupt
rated disconnect switch.
The factory-mounted control power transformer is
protected by fuses. Condenser fans are protected
and isolated by circuit breakers.

Disconnecting means are addressed by Article 440 of the
U.S.A. National Electrical Code (NEC), which requires
“disconnecting means capable of disconnecting air conditioning
and refrigerating equipment including motor-compressors,
and controllers from the circuit feeder.” Select and locate
the disconnect switch per the NEC guidelines. Maximum
recommended fuse sizes are given in the electrical data tables
of this catalog for help in sizing the disconnect.
Terminals are provided in a unit control panel for optional
eld hookup of the control circuit to a separate fused 115-volt
power supply in lieu of the standard factory installed control
transformer.
RapidRestore® Options
This option does not require eld installation. Exception: Field
supplied inputs are required in the case of a backup unit being
started after the power interruption rather than restarting the
primary unit. A eld supplied control (normally a BAS) must
turn off the Backup Chiller connection on the primary chiller
and turn on the connection on the backup chiller at the time of
switching. See the unit Field Wiring Diagram on page 60 for
the Backup Unit connection point (terminals #61 and #62).
Economizer Components
The chiller may or may not have economizers depending on
design capacity requirements. An economizer is a well-proven
device to increase a refrigerant circuit’s capacity and efciency.
Warm liquid from the condenser is fed into the economizer
where it is cooled by ashing off liquid also from the condenser.
The ash gas is piped to a compressor interstage point.
Lowering the liquid refrigerant temperature to the evaporator
decreases its enthalpy (heat content) and results in a greater
amount of heat absorption from the chilled water.

Transfer the unit as indicated in the Installation section,
beginning on page 4. In all cases, set the unit in place and
level.
When spring isolators are required, install springs running
under the main unit supports.Then unit should be set initially
on shims or blocks at the listed spring free height. When all
unit installation tasks are complete, the springs are adjusted
upward to loosen the blocks or shims that are then removed.
Install of spring isolators requires exible piping connections
and at least three feet of exible electrical conduit to avoid
straining the piping and transmitting vibration and noise.
A rubber anti-skid pad should be used under isolators if holddown bolts are not used.
Mounting locations for each model can be found in the Lifting &
Mounting Dimensions beginning on page 16.

Field Wiring
Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances.
Warranty does not cover damage to the equipment caused by
wiring not complying with specications. Pathnder® chillers
can be ordered with main power wiring for either multi-point
power connection (standard) or single-point connection
(optional). If the optional single-point power connection is
ordered, a single power connection is made to a power block
(or optional disconnect switch) in the unit power panel. A
separate disconnect is required if the optional factory-mounted
disconnect is not ordered. Factory-mounted isolation circuit
breakers for each circuit are included as standard on all singlepoint connection options.
If the standard multiple-point power wiring is ordered, two
power connections are required on Pathnder® chiller models
AWS###CD or three power connections on AWS###CT. They
are made to factory-mounted disconnect switches or terminal
blocks in the power panel. See the dimension drawings in the
current Pathnder® catalog at www.DaikinApplied.com for entry
locations.
It can be desirable to have the unit evaporator heaters on a
separate disconnect switch from the main unit power supply
so that the unit power can be shut down without defeating the
freeze protection provided by the evaporator heaters. See the
eld wiring diagram for connection details. The 120-volt control
transformer is factory mounted and wired.
CAUTION
If a separate disconnect is used for the 120V supply to the unit, it must
power the entire control circuit. It must be clearly marked so that it is
not accidentally shut off during freezing temperatures, thereby deenergizing the evaporator heaters. Freeze damage to the evaporator
could result. If the evaporator is drained for winter freeze protection,
the heaters must be de-energized to prevent heater burnout.
Pathnder® unit compressors are single-direction rotation
compressors and can be damaged if rotated in the wrong direction.
For this reason, proper phasing of electrical power is important.
Electrical phasing must be A, B, C for electrical phases 1, 2 and 3
(A=L1, B=L2, C=L3) for single or multiple point wiring arrangements.
DO NOT ALTER THE WIRING TO THE STARTERS.
CAUTION
Electrical Data Notes
1. All eld wiring to unit power block or optional nonfused
disconnect switch can be copper or aluminum wiring.
2. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable
local and national codes. Aluminum wire shall be
installed in accordance with NECA/AA 104-2012,
Standard for Installing Aluminum Building Wire and
Cable (ANSI). Wiring sizing and wire count must t in
the power connection lug sizing shown in the eld wiring
tables beginning on page 80.
3. Field wire size values given in tables apply to 75°C rated
wire per NEC.
eleCTrICal InforMaTIon
eleCTrICal InforMaTIon
4. Power Limitations:
• Voltage within 10 percent of nameplate rating.
• Voltage unbalance not to exceed 2% with a resultant
current unbalance of 6 to 10 times the voltage
unbalance per NEMA MG-1, 1998 Standard.
5. Single-point power supply requires a single disconnect to
supply electrical power to the unit. Power must be fused.
6. Multiple point power supply requires a independent
power supply for each circuit.
7. External disconnect switch(s) or HACR breakers must be
eld supplied. A non-fused disconnect switch in the panel
is an available option.
8. Unit wire size ampacity (MCA) is equal to 125% of the
largest compressor-motor RLA plus 100% of RLA of all
other loads in the circuit including control transformer.
Wire size ampacity for separate 115V control circuit
power is 15 amps.
9. Recommended time delay fuse size (RFS) is generally
equal to 170% of the largest compressor motor RLA plus
100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum of
condenser fan FLAs. Some models offer a reduced RFS
option which impact ambient rating limits and leaving
water temperature limits.
10. Maximum time delay fuse size or HACR breakers is
equal to 225% of the largest compressor-motor RLA plus
100% of remaining compressor RLAs and the sum of
condenser fan FLAs.
11. Circuit Breakers (Non-Compressor VFD Units)
The circuit breaker used in the High Short Circuit
panel option may have a higher trip rating than the
unit Maximum Overload Protection (MOCP) value
shown on the unit nameplate. The circuit breaker is
installed as a service disconnect switch and does not
function as branch circuit protection, mainly that the
protection device must be installed at the point of origin
of the power wiring. The breaker (disconnect switch)
is oversized to avoid nuisance trips at high ambient
temperature conditions.
12. BAS Interface
The following installation manuals for optional BAS
interface modules are shipped with the chiller and can
also be downloaded from www.DaikinApplied.com:
• IM 966, BACnet® IP Communication Module
• IM 967, BACnet® IP Communication Module MS/TP
• IM 968, Modbus® Communication Module
• IM 969, LonWorks® Communication Module
Current Inrush
Information on compressor current inrush by starter type is
available on a Technical Data report. Contact a Daikin Applied
sales representative for a unit specic selection.

Discharge any static electrical charge by touching the bare
metal inside the control panel before performing any service
work. Never unplug any cables, circuit board terminal blocks,
or power plugs while power is applied to the panel.
NOTICE
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with this instruction manual, can cause interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area can cause harmful interference, in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at the user’s own
expense. Daikin disclaims any liability resulting from any
interference or for the correction thereof.
Controller Features
• Readout of the following temperature and pressure
readings:
— Entering and leaving chilled water temperature
— Saturated evaporator refrigerant temperature and
pressure
— Saturated condenser temperature and pressure
— Outside air temperature
— Suction and discharge line temperatures with
calculated superheat for discharge and suction lines
— Oil pressure
• Automatic control of primary and standby chilled water
pumps. The control will start one of the pumps (based
on lowest run-hours) when the unit is enabled to run (not
necessarily running on a call for cooling) and when the
water temperature reaches a point of freeze possibility.
• Two levels of security protection against unauthorized
changing of set points and other control parameters.
• Warning and fault diagnostics to inform operators of
warning and fault conditions in plain language. All events
and alarms are time and date-stamped for identication of
when the fault condition occurred.
• Twenty-ve previous alarms are available.
• Remote input signals for chilled water reset, demand
limiting, and unit enable.
• Test mode allows the service technician to manually
control the controllers’ outputs and can be useful for
system checkout.
• Building Automation System (BAS) communication
capability via LonTalk®, Modbus®, or BACnet® standard
protocols for all BAS manufacturers-simplied with the
Daikin Open Choices™ feature.
• Pressure transducers for direct reading of system
pressures. Preemptive control of low evaporator
pressure conditions and high discharge temperature and
pressure to take corrective action prior to a fault trip.
General Description
The MicroTech® III control system consists of a controller and
a number of extension modules, which vary depending on the
unit size and conformation. The control system provides the
monitoring and functions required for the controlled, efcient
operation of the chiller.
The control panel is located on the front of the unit at the
compressor end. There are three doors. The control panel is
behind to left-hand door. The power panels are behind the
middle and right-hand doors.
The operator can monitor all critical operating conditions by
using the screen located on the main controller. In addition
to providing all normal operating controls, the MicroTech®
III control system will take corrective action if the chiller is
operating outside of its normal design conditions. If a fault
condition develops, the controller will shut a compressor, or the
entire unit, down and activate an alarm output.
The system is password protected and only allows access by
authorized personnel. Except that some basic information is
viewable and alarms can be cleared without a password. No
settings can be changed.
Additional information about the Daikin Pathnder® Chiller is
available in the current product catalog, which can be found on
www.DaikinApplied.com.
NOTE: The Emergency Switch Relay de-energizes all
circuit’s control power when activated, causing an
immediate compressor and fan shutdown. The red
emergency button switch is located on the front of the
control panel door.
The control power transformer is located in the power
panel adjacent to the control panel.
Additional extension (aka expansion) modules are
located elsewhere on the chiller.
See the VFD section for a description of the panel
used with the VFD option.
