Introduction
General Description
McQuay air-cooled water chillers are complete, self-contained automatic refrigerating units. Every
unit is completely assembled, factory wired, charged, and tested. Each unit consists of air-cooled
condensers, Copeland Compliant Scroll hermetic compressor, brazed plate-to-plate evaporator, and
complete refrigerant piping. Liquid line components include sight-glass/moisture indicator, solenoid
valve, and thermal expansion valve. Other features include a compressor heater, and evaporator
heater for chilled water freeze protection.
The electrical control center includes all equipment protection and operating controls necessary for
automatic operation. Condenser fan motors are three-phase (except single-phase on No. 1 fan with
SpeedTrol option) and started by their own contactors and have inherent overload protection. The
compressor has solid-state motor protection for inherent thermal overload protection except Model
AGZ 010 that has internal line breakage.
Inspection
Check all items carefully against the bill of lading. Inspect all units for damage upon arrival. Report
shipping damage and file a claim with the carrier. Check the unit nameplate before unloading to be
sure it agrees with the power supply available. Units are shipped FOB factory and McQuay is not
responsible for physical damage after unit leaves the factory.
Note:
Unit shipping and operating weights are listed on pages 13 and 14.
Installation
Note:
Installation is to be perform ed by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes
and regulations, especially concerning refrigerant release to the atmosphere.
WARNING
Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential hazard. Avoid contact with them.
Handling
Be careful to avo id r ough hand ling o f the unit. Do not push or p ull t he uni t fr om anything othe r t han
the base. Block the pushing vehicle away from the unit to prevent damage to the sheet-metal cabinet
and end frame (see Figure 1).
To lift the unit, lifting slots are provided in the base of the unit. Arrange spreader bars and cables to
prevent damage to the condenser coils or cabinet (see Figure 2).

Location
Unit Placement
AGZ units are for outdoor applications and can be mounted on a roof or at ground level. Set units on
a solid and level foundation. For roof-mounted applications, install the unit on a steel channel or Ibeam frame to support the unit above the roof. For ground level applications, install the unit on a
substantial base that will not settle. A one-piece concrete slab with footings extended below the frost
line is recommended. Be sure the foundation is level (within 1/2” [13 mm] over its length and width).
The foundation must support the operating weights listed in the Physical Data Tables on pages 13 and
14.
Since its operation is affected by wind, the unit should be located so that its length is parallel with the
prevailing wind. If this is not practical, use field fabricated wind deflectors.
Service Access
Each end of the unit must be accessible after installation for periodic service. Compressors, filterdriers, and liquid line solenoid valve are accessible from the end of the unit. High-pressure, lowpressure, and motor protector controls are on the compressor. Most operational, safety and starting
controls are located in the unit control box.
The fan deck with the condenser fans and motors can be removed from the top of the unit.

AGZ 010A through 034AIOMM AGZ1
Clearances
The flow of air to and from the condenser
coil must not be limited. Restricting
airflow or allowing air recirculation will
result in a decrease in unit performance
and efficiency. There must be no
obstruction above the unit that would
deflect discharge air downward where it
could be recirculated back to the inlet of
the condenser coil. The condenser fans are
propeller type and will not operate with
ductwork on the fan outlet.
Install the unit with enough si de clearance
for air entrance to the coil and for
servicing. Provide service access to the
evaporator, compressors, electrical control
panel and piping components as shown in
Figure 3. Do not block access to the unit
with piping or conduit.
Do not allow debris to accumulate near the
unit. Air movement may draw debris into
the condenser coil causing air starvation.
Give special consideration to low ambient
operation where snow can accumulate.
Keep condenser coils and fan discharge
free of snow or other obstructions to permit
adequate airflow.

Sound Isolation
The low sound levels of the AGZ chiller are
suitable for most applications. When
additional sound reduction is necessary,
locate the unit away from sound sensitive
areas. Avoid locations beneath windows or
between structures where normal operating
sounds may be objectionable. Reduce
structurally transmitted sound by isolating
water lines, electrical conduit and the unit
itself. Use wall sleeves and rubber isolated
piping hangers to reduce transmission of
water or pump noise into occupied spaces.
Use flexible electrical conduit to isolate
sound through electrical conduit. Spring
isolators are effective in reducing the low
amplitude sound generated by the Discus
semi-hermetic compressors and for unit
isolation in sound-sensitive areas.
The unit must not be installed in a pit or enclosure that is
deeper or taller than the height of the unit unless extra space
is provided. The minimum clearance on each side of the
unit is 6 feet (1828mm) when installed in a pit. The pit cannot
be deeper than the unit.
The minimum clearance to a side wall or building taller than
the unit height is 6 feet (1828mm) provided no solid wall
above 6 feet (1828mm) tall is closer than 12 feet (3658mm)
to the opposite side of the unit.

Vibration Isolators
Vibration isolators are recommended for all roof-mounted installations or wherever vibration
transmission is a consideration. The isolators can be purchased from McQuay by the part numbers
shown in the table.
The unit should be initially on shims or blocks at the listed free height. When all piping, wiring,
flushing, charging, etc. is completed, the springs are adjusted upward to loosen the blocks or shims
that are then removed.
A rubber anti-skid pad is part of the isolator. Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping
connections and at least three feet of flexible conduit to avoid straining the piping and transmitting
vibration and noise.
Local authorities can supply the installer with the proper building and safety codes required for safe
and proper installation.
Install piping with minimum bends and changes in elevation to minimize pressure drop. Consider the
following when installing water piping:
1. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
2. Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system during unit servicing.
3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of the system. Install drains at the lowest
points in the system.
6
AGZ 010A through 034AIOMM AGZ1
4. A means of maintaining adequat e system water pressure (expansi on tank or regulating valve).
Ai
5. Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit to aid in unit servicing. Pressure gauge
taps must be installed in the chilled water inlet and outlet piping or as shown in Figure 4.
6. A strainer or other means of removing foreign matter from the water before it enters the pump.
Place the strainer far enough upstream to prevent cavitation at the p ump inlet (consult p ump
manufacturer for recommendations). The use of a strainer will prolong pump life and keep
system performance up.
7. A 40-mesh strainer is required in the water line just before the inlet of the evaporator. This will
help prevent foreign material from entering and decreasing the performance of the evaporator.
CAUTION
If separate disconnect is us ed for the 110V supply to the evaporator heating cable, mark the
disconnect clearly to ensure disconnect is not acc identally shut off during c old seas ons . This
could cause a failure of the evaporator.
8. The brazed plate evaporator has a thermostat and heating cable to prevent freeze-up down to
-20°F (-29°C). It is suggested that the heati ng cable be wired to a separate 110V supp ly circuit.
As shipped from the factory, the heating cable is wired to the control circuit. Protect all water
piping to the unit from freezing.
9. If the unit is used as a replacement chiller on a previously existing piping system, flush the
system thoroughly before unit installation. Regular water analysis and chemical water treatment
on the evaporator is recommended immediately at equipment start-up.
10. When glycol is added to the water system for freeze protection, the refrigerant suction pressure
will be lower, cooling performance less, and water side pressure drop greater. If the percentage
of glycol is high, or if propylene is used instead of ethylene glycol, the added pressure drop and
loss of performance could be substantial. Reset the freezestat and low leaving water alarm
temperatures. The freezestat is factory set to default at 38°F (3.3°C). Reset the freezestat setting
to approximately 4 to 5 degrees F (2.3 to 2.8 degrees C) below the leaving chilled water setpoint
temperature. See the section titled “Glycol Solutions” on page 9 for additional information
concerning glycol .
11. Perform a preliminary leak check before insulating the piping and filling the system.
12. Piping insulation should include a vapor barrier to prevent condensation and possible damage to
the building structure.

System Volume
It is important to have adequate water volume in the system to provide an opportunity for the chiller
to sense a load change, adjust to the change and stabilize. As the expected load change becomes
more rapid, a greater water volume is needed. The system water volume is the total amount of water
in the evaporator, air handling products and associated piping. If the water volume is too low,
operational problems can occur, including rapid compressor cycling, rapid loading and unloading of
compressors, erratic refrigerant flow in the chiller, improper motor cooling, shortened equipment life
and other undesirable occurrences.
For normal comfort cooling applications, where the cooling load changes relatively slowly, we
recommend a minimum system volume of five minutes times the flow rate (GPM). For example, if
the design chiller flow rate is 120 GPM, we recommend a minimum system volume of 600 gallons
(120 GPM x 5 minutes).
Since there are many other factors that can influence performance, systems may successfully operate
below these suggestions. However, as the water volume decreases below these suggestions, the
possibility of problems increases.
Variable Chilled Water flow
Variab le chilled water flow systems are not recommended for this class of equipment due to limited
unloading capability.
Flow Switch
Mount a water flow switch in the leaving
water line to shut down the unit when water
flow is interrupted.
Figure 5, Flow Switch Installation
A flow switch is available from McQuay
(part number 017503300). It is a “paddle”
type switch and adaptable to pipe sizes
down to 1 1/4” (32mm) nominal. Certain
minimum flow rates are required to close
the switch and are listed in Table 2. Install
the switch as shown in Figure 5. Connect
the normally open contacts of the flow
switch in the unit control center at terminals
4 and 5. 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-flow” condition exists.
Freeze protect any flow switch that is
installed outdoors. Follow installation instructions provided with the flow switch. Calibrate the flow
switch to open at one-half of nominal flow rate.
NOTE:
Differential pressure switches are not recommended for outdoor installation.
The unit has 3-inch holes for the chilled water piping to enter the unit. The connections are made to
the evaporator water connections located within the unit. Water piping within the unit must be field
insulated.
Refrigerant Charge
All units are designed with HCFC-22. See the nameplate for specific refrigerant used. Units are
shipped with an operating charge. The operating charge (using HCFC-22) for each unit is shown in in
the Physical Data Tables on pages 13 and 14.

Glycol Solutions
The use of glycol antifreeze solutions will decrease unit capacity and increase the pressure drop
through the cooler. See Product Manual PM AGZ1 for specific ratings and correction factors.
CAUTION
Do not use automotive grade antifreeze. Industrial grade glycols must be used. Autom otive
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.
Evaporator Water Flow and Pressure Drop
Evaporator flow rate must fall between the minimum and maximum values shown in the evaporator
pressure drop curve, Figure 6. Flow rates outside of these limits result in a chilled water Delta-T
outside the operating range of the controller.
Measure the chilled water pressur e drop through the evaporator a t field-installed p ressure taps. It is
important not to include the effect of valves or strainers in these readings.
Varying chilled water flow through the evaporator while the compressors are operating is not
recommended.
All electrical controls are enclosed in a weatherproof control center with tool-locked, hinged access
doors. The left-hand section contains the microprocessor controller and control input and output
terminals. All high-voltage components are located on the right side of the panel.

Start-up and Shutdown
Pre Start-up
1. The chilled-water system should be flushed and cleaned. Proper water treatment is required to
prevent corrosion and organic growth.
2. Open all electric disconnects and check all electric connections for tightness.
3. Inspect all water piping for flow direction and correct connections at the evaporator.
4. Verify thermostat water temperature sensor is installed in the leaving water line (supply to
building). On all AGZ units the sensor well and sensor are factory mounted.
5. Check compressor oil level. The oil level should be visible in the oil sightglass.
6. Check voltage of the unit power supply and make certain voltage is within ±10% of nameplate
rating. Check unit power supply wiring for proper ampacity and a minimum insulation
temperature of 75°C. Check for proper phasing using a phase sequence meter.
7. Verify all mechanical and electrical inspections have been completed according to local codes.
8. Open control stop switch S1(off). Turn on the main power and control disconnect switches. This
will energize crankcase heaters. Wait at least 24 hours before starting up unit.
9. Open all water flow valves and start the chilled water pump. Check all piping for leaks and vent
the air from the evaporator as well as from the system piping. Flush the evaporator and system
piping to obtain clean, noncorrosive water in the evaporator.

Start-up
1. Set temperature controller to the desired chilled water temperature. Set the chilled water
Delta-T.
2. Start auxiliary equipment by turning on the following: time clock (if present), ambient thermostat
and/or remote on/off switch, chilled water pump.
3. If the controller calls for cooling, the unit will begin the start-up sequence.
4. After running the unit for a short time, check t he oil level in the compressor (1/4 to 1/3 of the
glass), rotat ion of fans, and flashing in refrigerant sightgl ass.
IOMM AGZ1AGZ 010A through 034A

5. Verify superheat temperature is at the factory setting of 8 to 12 degrees F (4.4 to 6.7 degrees C).
6. After system performance has stabilized, complete the current AGZ Start-Up Form (obtainable
from the local McQuay sales office) to establish inception of warranty benefits. Return the form
to McQuay International through your sale s representative.
Sequence of Operation
The following sequence of operation is typical for Models AGZ 010A through AGZ 034A. It can
vary depending upon options.
Start-Up
With the control circuit power on, 115V power is ap plied through the co ntrol circuit fuse F1 to the
compressor crankcase heaters, the compressor motor protections and the primary of the 24V control
circuit transformer. The 24V transformer provides power to the microprocessor controller.
When a remote time clock, manual switch, or the unit controller turns on the chilled water pump, the
flow switch closes and satisfies the flow requirement. If the chilled water temperature is above the
stage-on temperature, and all equipment protection devices are closed, the unit will start. The
controller will operate the unit in response to the leaving chiller water temperature, reset signals that
may be present and any equipment protection signals that may occur.
Equipment Protection Alarms
The following conditions will shut down the unit and activate the alarm circuit:
• No evaporator water flowLow evaporator pressure
• High condenser pressur eMotor protection system
• Phase voltage protection (Optional)Outside ambient temperature
• Evaporator freeze protectionSensor failures
The following alarms will limit unit operation:
• Condenser pressure stage down, unloads unit at high discharge p ressures
• Low ambient lockout, shuts off unit at low ambient temperatures
• Low evaporator pressure unload, shuts off stage #2
12
Unit Enable Selection
Enables unit operation from local keypad, digital input, or Building Automation System.
Unit Mode Selection
Selects standard cooling, ice, glycol, or test operation mode.
Condenser fan control
Control of condenser fans is provided by the MicroTech II controller. The control steps condenser
fans based on discharge pressure.
Shutdown
As the leaving water control is satisfied, it will stage off the lag compressor unloading the unit. The
second stage will de-energize the liquid line solenoid valve SV1 and shut off the lead compressor.
The compressor crankcase heaters will energize when the compressors shut off, keeping the small
amount of refrigerant in the plate heat exchanger from migrating to the compressor. See page 38 for
detailed explanation of compressor staging.

Notes for “Electrical Data Single Point"
1. Field Fuse Size for recommended and maximum is based on use of a time-delay fuse.
2. 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 the control transformer.
3. Since the control transformer is furnished, no separate 115v power is required.
4. If a separate 115V power supply is used for the control circuit, then the wire sizing amps is 2
Amps.
5. Recommended power lead wire sizes for 3 conductors per conduit are based on 100% conductor
ampacity in accordance with NEC. Voltage drop has not been included. Therefore, it is
recommended that power leads be kept short. All terminal block connections must be made with
copper (type THW) wire.
6. Single conductors should be used for power connections as listed under “Recommended Power
Lead Wire Size.”
7. “Recommended Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 150% to 225% of the largest
compressor RLA, plus 100% of all other loads in the circuit.
8. “Maximum Fuse Sizes” are selected at approximately 225% of the largest compressor RLA, plus
100% of all other loads in the circuit.
9. The recommended power lead wire sizes are based on an ambient temperature of 86°F.
Ampacity correction factors must be applied for other ambient temperatures. Refer to the
National Electrical Code Handbook.
Power Limitations:
1. Voltage within 10% of nameplate rating.
2. Phase imbalance within 3%.
Notes for “Compressor and Condenser Fan Amp Draw”:
1. Compressor RLA values are for wiring sizing purposes only but do not reflect normal operating
current draw at rated capacity.
Notes for “Field Wiring Data” - Single Point Power:
1. Single point power supply requires a single disconnect to supply electrical power to the unit.
This power must be fused.
2. All field wiring to unit power block or non-fused disconnect switch must be copper.
3. All field wire size values given in table apply to 75°C rated wire per NEC.

On initial start-up and periodically during operation, it will be necessary to perform certain routine
service checks. Among these are taking electric leg readings. Some readings are readily available on
the MicroTech II display.
Lubrication
No routine lubrication is required on the AGZ units. The fan motor bearings are of the permanently
lubricated type and require no lubrication.
Electrical Terminals
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Turn off all power before continuing with following service.
Normal heating and cooling of the wire will cause terminals to loosen. Retighten all power electrical
terminals every six months.
Condensers
Condensers are air-cooled and constructed with 3/8” (9.5mm) O.D. internally finned copper tubes
bonded in a staggered pattern into slit aluminum fins. No maintenance is ordinarily required except
the occasional removal of dirt and debris from the outside surface of the fins. Use locally purchased
foaming condenser coil cleaners for periodic cleaning of the coil. Condenser cleaners may contain
harmful chemicals, be careful when using cleaners. Care should be taken not to damage the fins
during cleaning. All chemical cleaners sho uld be thoroughly ri nsed from the coils.
Refrigerant Sightglass
Observe the refrigerant sightglass monthly. A clear glass of liquid indicates adequate sub-cooled
refrigerant charge in the system to ensure proper feed through the expansion valve. Bubbling
refrigerant in the sightglass indicates the system is short of refrigerant charge. Sub-cooling should be
verified to prevent overcharging. Refrigerant gas flashing in the sightglass could also indicate an
excessive pressure drop in the line, possibly due to a clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in
the system. The sightglass indicates what moisture condition corresponds to a given element color. If
the sightglass does not indicate a dry condition after about 12 hours of operation, the refrigerant or oil
should be tested for moisture.

Overview
MicroTech II’s state-of-the-art design will not only permit the chiller to run more efficiently, but will
also simplify troubleshooting if a system failure occurs. Every MicroTech II controller is
programmed and tested prior to shipment to contribute to a trouble-free start-up.
Operator-friendly
The MicroTech II menu structure is separated into three distinct categories, which provide the
operator or service technician with a full description of current unit status, control parameters, and
alarms. Security protection prevents unauthorized changing of the setpoints and control parameters.
MicroTech II continuously performs self-diagnostic checks, monitoring system temperatures,
pressures and protection devices, and will automatically shut down a compressor or the entire unit
should a fault occur. The cause of the shutdown will be retained in memory and can be easily
displayed in plain English for operator review. T he MicroTech II chiller controller will also retain
and display the time the fault occurred. In addition to displaying alarm diagnostics, the MicroTech II
chiller controller also provides the operator with a warning of limit (pre-alarm) conditions.
Staging
The two scroll compressors are staged on and off as a function of leaving chilled water temperature.
Lead/lag is automatic and switched every ten starts.

The model AGZ 010 compressor has internal line breakage with automatic reset.
FanTrol Head Pressure Control
FanTrol is the standard method of head pressure control that automatically cycles the condenser fan
motors in response to condenser pressure. This function is controlled by the microprocessor,
maintains head pressure and allows the unit to run at low ambient air temperatures down to 35°F
(1.7°C). Fans are staged as follows:

AGZ 010A through 034AIOMM AGZ1
Capacity Overrides
The following conditions will override the capacity control when the chiller is in the cool and ice
modes.
Low Evaporator Pressure
If the unit is running at stage 1 and the evaporator pressure drops below the Low Evaporator
Pressure-Hold setpoint, the unit will hold at stage 1. This condition will inhibit the unit from loading
until the evaporator pressure reaches the hold setpoint plus 8 psi.
If the unit is running at stage 2 and the evaporator pressure drops below the Low Evaporator
Pressure-Unload setpoint, the unit will unload to stage 1. This condition will inhibit the unit from
loading until the evaporator pressure reaches the hold setpoint plus 10 psi.
Maximum LWT Rate
The maximum rate at which the leaving water temperature can drop shall be limited at all times by the
Maxi mum Rate s etpoi nt (2°F/Minute). If the rate exceeds this setpoint, capacity increases shall be
held at Stage 1. This limit is no t adjusta ble through t he keypad and d oes not have a presenc e in any
alarm menu.
Discharge Pressure Stage Down
If the unit is running at stage 2 and the condenser pressure rise s above the High Co ndenser Pre ssure
Stage Down setpoint, the unit will unload to stage 1. This condition will inhibit the unit from loading
until the condenser pressure drops below the unload setpoint less 100 psi.
Digital Output Control
Each digital output is controlled according to the following rules and in accordance with whether the
unit is in normal operation or TEST (test mode). All outputs are initialized to OFF at power on.
Alarm – (J12 – NO1)
This output is turned ON when any “EQUIPMENT PROTECTION ALARMS” occur. It is turned
OFF when all alarms have been cleared.
Evaporator Pump – (J12 – NO2)
The Evaporator Water Pump output is ON if the Evap State is set to START or RUN.
Liquid Line Solenoid – (J12 – NO3)
This output is ON when the Compressors are ON. It is OFF for all other cases.
Motor Control Relay #1, #2 – (J13 – NO4, J13 – NO5)
This output is ON when the Compressors are ON. It is OFF for all other cases.

After flow has been present for 30 seconds, the pump state can transition to RUN. In this state, flow
has been established so the “No Evap Water Flow” alarm will be active if the flow switch input is
OFF for more than the Evap Flow Proof time. The pump remains in the RUN state until the unit
status equals off or alarm.

Getting Started
There are two basic procedures to learn in order to utilize the MicroTech II controller:
1. Navigating through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen and knowing where a
particular screen is located.
2. Knowing what is contained in a menu screen and how to read that information or how to change
a setpoint contained in the menu screen.
30
Navigating Through the Menus
The menus are arranged in a matrix of screens across a top horizontal row. Some of these top-level
screens have sub-screens located under them. The general content of each screen and its location in
the matrix are shown in Figure 12. A detailed description of each menu begins on page 33.
There are two ways to navigate through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen.
One is to scroll through the matrix fro m one screen to another using the four ARROW keys.
The other way is to use shortcuts to work through the matrix hierarchy. From any menu screen,
pressing the MENU key will take you to the top level of the hierarchy. The display will show
ALARM, VIEW, and SET as shown in Figure 10. This corresponds to the second row of screens on
Figure 12. One of these groups of screens can then be selected by pressing the key connected to it via
the pathway shown in Figure 10.
AGZ 010A through 034AIOMM AGZ1
For example, selecting ALARM will go the next row of menus under ALARM (ALARM LOG or
ACTIVE ALARM). Selecting VIEW will go the next level of screens under VIEW (VIEW UNIT
STATUS or VIEW UNIT TEMP). Selecting SET will go to a series of screens for looking at and
changing setpoints.
MENU Key
The MENU key is used to switch between the shortcut method (known as the MENU mode and as
shown in Figure 10) and scrolling method (known as the SCROLL mode). The MENU mode is the
shortcut to spec ific groups o f menus used for checking ALARMS, for VIEWI NG information, o r to
SET setpoint values. The SCROLL mode allows the user to move about the matrix (from one menu
to another, o ne at a t ime) by using the four ARROW keys. A typical menu scre en is shown in Figur e
11.
Pressing the MENU key from any menu screen will automatically return you to the MENU mode as
shown in Figure 10.

Menu Screens
Various menus are shown in the controller display. Each menu screen shows specific information; in
some cases menus are used only to view the status of the unit, in some cases they are used for
checking and clearing alarms, and in some case they are used to set setpoint values.
The menus are arranged in a matrix of screens across a top horizontal row. Some of these top-level
screens have sub-screens located under them. The general content of each screen and its location in
the matrix are shown in Figure 12. A detailed description of each menu begins on page 33.
The ARROW keys on the c ontrol ler ar e used to navigate t hrough t he menus. The keys are also used
to change numerical setpoint values contained in certain menus.
Changing Setpoints
Pressing the ENT ER key changes the function of the ARROW keys to the ed iting functi on as sho wn
below:
LEFT keyDefault, changes a value to the factory-set default value.
RIGHT keyCancel, cancels any change made to a value and returns to the original setting.
UP keyIncrement, increases the value of the setting
DOWN keyDecrement decreases the value of a setting.
These four edit functions are indicated by one-character abbreviation on the right side of the display
(this mode is entered by pressing the ENTER key).
IOMM AGZ1AGZ 010A through 034A
31
Most menus containing set point values have several different setpo ints shown on one menu. When in
a setpoint menu, the ENTER key is used to proceed from the top line to the second line and on
downward. The cursor will blink at the entry point for making a change. The ARROW keys (now in
the edit mode) are used to change the setpoint as described above. When the change has been made,
press the ENTER key to enter it. No setting is changed until the ENTER key is pressed.
For example, to change the chilled water setpoint:
1. Press MENU key to go to the MENU mode (see Figure 10).
2. Press SET ( t he UP Key) to go to the setpoint menus.
3. Press UNIT SPs (the Right key) to go to setpoints associated with unit operatio n.
4. Press the DOW N key to scroll down thro ugh the setpoint menus to the thi rd menu which contains
Evap LWT=XX.X°F
5. Press the ENTER key to move the cursor down from the top line to the second line in order to
make the change.
6. Use the ARROW keys (now in the edit mode as shown above) to change the setting.
7. When the desired value is achieved, press ENTER to enter it. The cursor will automatically move
down.
At this point, the following actions can be taken:
1. Change another setpoint in this menu by scrolling to it with the ENTER key
2. Using the ENTER key, scroll to the first line in the menu. From there the ARROW keys can be
used to scroll to different menus.

1. KEYPAD, in which case the selection is made in line 2 and would be normally selected as ON.
This is the normal setting when no external signals are controlling the unit.
2. SWITCHES, in which an external switch is wired across terminals #25 and #35. (See wiring
diagram page 19).
3. NETWORK, used with BAS signal, which is wired to the three communication ports.
Unit Mode settings can be
1. COOL, normal setting used with chilled water air-condition applications.
2. COOL w/GLYCOL, used with low temperature, glycol applications. It allows a lower LW T
setpoint to be used.
3. ICE w/GLYCOL, used with ice storage systems, allows changing from chilled glycol operation to
lower temperature ICE operation. In ICE, the unit runs at full load until the ICE setpoint is
reached, at which time the unit shuts off. A three-position switch wired to terminals #28 and #38
initiates the change from glycol cooling to making ice. (See wiring diagram on page 19.)

Service
WARNING
Disconnect all power before doing any service inside the unit. Failure to do so can cause
serious personal injury.
CAUTION
Service on this equipment is to be performed by qualified service personnel with special
regard to regulations concerning release of refrigerant to the atmosphere.
Note:
Repeated tripping of safety controls must be investigated and corrected.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve
The expansion valve is responsible for allowing the proper amount of refrigerant to enter the
evaporator regardless of cooling load. It does this by maintaining a constant superheat. (Superheat is
the difference between refrigerant temperature as it leaves the evaporator and the saturation
temperature corresponding to the evaporator pressure.) Typically, superheat should run in the range
of 8°F to 12°F (4.4°C to 6.6°C).
The superheat setting can be adjusted by removing the cap at the bottom of the valve to expose the
adjustment screw. Turn the screw clockwise (when viewed from the adjustment screw end) to
increase the superheat setting and counterclockwise to reduce superheat. Allow time for system
rebalance after each superheat adjustment.
The expansion valve, like the solenoid valve, should not normally require replacement, but if it does
the unit must be pumped down by following the steps involved when changing a filter-drier.
If the problem can be traced to the power element only, unscrew the element from the valve body
without removing the valve, but only after pumping the unit down.
Filter-Driers
If the pressure drop across the filter-drier is in the 6 to 10 psi range, it should be monitored and
changed when the pressure drop reaches 10 psi. To change the liquid line sealed filter, de-energize
the unit and pump out the refrigerant. After changing the filter-drier, check for leaks before
recharging and r eturning unit to operation.
Liquid Line Solenoid
The liquid line solenoid valve does not normally require any maintenance. It may, however, require
replacement of the solenoid coil. The solenoid coil may be removed from the valve body without
opening the system by disconnecting power to the unit. The coil can then be removed from the valve
body by simply removing the nut or snap ring located at the top of the coil.
42
AGZ 010A through 034AIOMM AGZ1
Optional Controls
SpeedTrol Head Pressure Control
The SpeedTrol method of head pressure control operates in conjunction with FanTrol by modulating
the motor speed on system #1 fan in response to condenser pressure. By reducing the speed of the
last fan as the condensing pressure falls, the unit can operate to 0°F (-18°C) ambient air temperature.
The SpeedTrol fan motor is a single-phase, 230/460 volt, thermally protected motor specially
designed for variable speed operation. The solid-state speed control is mounted in the unit control
panel and is connected to a Schrader fitting on the liquid line. The control is factory-set to start
modulating fan speed at 230 psig, and it will maintain a minimum condensing pressure of 170 to 180
psig. Minimum starting voltage for SpeedTrol motors is 120 volts.
A low ambient timer function is included in the microprocessor. When the solenoid valve and lead
compressor are energized by the controller, the low pressure cutout control is bypassed and the
compressor is allowed to start with the low pressure control open.
After about 2-3/4 minutes, the time delay will open and the low pressure cutout function is again
operable. I f the system has not built up enough e vapor ator pr essure to close the low pressur e se tting,
the compressor will stop.
Due to the vertical condenser design, it is recommended that the unit be oriented so that prevailing
winds blow parallel to the unit length, thus minimizing effects on minimum ambient operation. If it is
not practical to orient the unit in this manner, a wind deflector should be constructed.
Hot Gas Bypass
Hot gas bypass is a system for maintaining evaporator pressure at or above a minimum value. The
purpose for do ing this is to keep the velocity of the refri gerant as it passes through the eva porator
high enough for prope r oil return to the compressor when cooling load conditions a re light. It al so
maintains continuous operation of the chiller at light load conditions.
The solenoid valve should be wired to open whenever the liquid line solenoid valve is energized.
This can be accomplished by wiring the hot gas solenoid (SV5) in parallel with the liquid line
solenoid at t erminals 14 and 16. The p ressure-regul ating valve is fac tory-set to begin op ening at 58
PSIG (32°F for R-22) when the air-charged bulb is in an 80°F ambient temperature. The bulb can be
mounted anywhere as long as it senses a fairly constant temperature at various load conditions. The
compressor suction line is one such mounting location. It is generally in the 50°F to 60°F range.
The chart below indicates that when the bulb is sensing 50°F to 60°F temperatures, the valve will
begin opening at 54 PSIG. This setting can be changed as indicated above, by changing the pressure
setting, remove the cap on the bulb and turn the adjustment screw clockwise. To lower the setting,
turn the screw counterclockwise. Do not force the adjustment beyond the range it is designed for, as
this will damage the adjustment assembly.
The regulating valve opening point can be determined by slowly reducing the system load (or
increasing the required chiller water temperature setting indicated on the unit thermostat), while
observing the suction pressure. When the bypass valve starts to open, the refrigerant line on the
evaporator side of the valve will begin to feel warm to the touch.
IOMM AGZ1AGZ 010A through 034A
43
WARNING
S
b
The hot gas line may become hot enough to cause injury in a very short time, be careful
during valve checkout.
On installations where the condensing unit is remote from the evaporator, it is recommended that the
hot gas bypass valve be mounted near the condensing unit to minimize the amount of refrigerant that
will condense in the hot gas line during periods when hot gas bypass is not required.
