General Description
Switch
Switch
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 panel is behind the middle and right-hand doors.
General Description
The MicroTech III control system consists of a microprocessor-based controller and a number of extension
modules, which vary depending on the unit size and conformation. The control system provides the
monitoring and control functions required for the controlled, efficient operation of the chiller.
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 McQuay Pathfinder Chiller is available in Catalog 600 and IM
997, which can be found on www.mcquay.com.

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 efficiency.

Heat Exchanger
Gas to Comp.
Interstage
Liquid from
Condenser
TXV LLSV
Warm liquid from the condenser is fed into the economizer where it is cooled by flashing off
liquid also from the condenser. The flash 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.

Dynamic Default Values
The fan staging dead bands have different default values based on the VFD enable setpoint.
When the VFD enable setpoint is changed, a set of default values for the fan staging dead bands
is loaded as follows:
Fan VFD is Enabled

The low pressure settings have different default values based on the Manufacturing Location
setpoint. When the manufacturing location is configured, the default values for these setting are
loaded as shown below:
EWT slope is calculated such that the slope represents the change in EWT over a time frame
of one minute.
Pulldown Rate
The slope value calculated above will be a negative value as the water temperature is
dropping. A pulldown rate is calculated by inverting the slope value and limiting to a
minimum value of 0°C/min.
Unit Availability
The unit is available to start if the following conditions are true:
1. Unit switch is closed
2. If unit mode is ice and the ice timer has timed out.
3. No unit alarms exist
4. Emergency stop input is closed
5. At least one circuit is enabled
6. Unit enable setpoint is Enable
7. If remote control is connected and remote unit switch is closed
8. If Control Source = Network, BAS Enable = True
Enabling and disabling the chiller is accomplished using setpoints and inputs to the chiller.
The unit switch, remote switch input, and Unit Enable Setpoint all are required to be on for
the unit to be enabled when the control source is set to local. The same is true if the control
source is set to network, with the additional requirement that the BAS request must be on.
Unit is enabled according to the following table.
NOTE: An x indicates that the value is ignored.

All of the methods for disabling the chiller, discussed in this section, will cause a normal
shutdown (pumpdown) of any running circuits.
When the controller is powered up, the Unit Enable Setpoint will be initialized to ‘Disable’ if
the Unit Enable Init Setpoint is set to ‘Disable’.

Unit Mode Selection
The operating mode of the unit is determined by setpoints and inputs to the chiller. The
Available Modes Setpoint determines what modes of operation can be used. This setpoint
also determines whether the unit is configured for glycol use. The Control Source Setpoint
determines where a command to change modes will come from. A digital input switches
between cool mode and ice mode if they are available and the control source is set to local.
The BAS mode request switches between cool mode and ice mode if they are both available
and the control source is set to network.
The Available Modes Setpoint must only be changed when the unit switch is off. This is to
avoid changing modes of operation inadvertently while the chiller is running.
Unit Mode is set according to the following table.
Table 3, Mode Combinations
Control Source
Setpoint
x x x Cool Cool
x x x Cool w/Glycol Cool
Local Off x Cool/Ice w/Glycol Cool

Notes
1. “x” Indicates that the value is ignored.
2. If the Available Modes Setpoint is set to an option ‘w/Glycol’, then glycol operation should be
enabled for the unit. Glycol operation should only be disabled when the Available Modes
Setpoint is set to ‘Cool’.

Unit Control States
The unit will always be in one of three states:
• Off – Unit is not enabled to run.
• Auto – Unit is enabled to run.
• Pumpdown – Unit is doing a normal shutdown.
Off. The unit should be in the Off state if any of the following are true:
• A unit alarm is active
• All circuits are unavailable to start (cannot start even after cycle timers have expired)
• The unit mode is ice, all circuits are off, and the ice mode delay is active
• Manufacturing Location is not set
• Either manufacturing location or number of circuits have been changed and controller
has not been rebooted
Auto. The unit should be in the Auto state if all of the following are true:
• Manufacturing location is set and controller has been rebooted
• Unit enabled based on settings and switches
• If unit mode is ice, the ice timer has expired
• No unit alarms are active
• At least one circuit is enabled and available to start
OM 1051-2 23
Pumpdown. The unit should be in Pumpdown until all running compressors finish
pumping down if any of the following are true:
• Unit is disabled via settings and/or inputs in section Unit Availability.
• Unit pumpdown alarm is triggered
Unit Status
The displayed unit status is determined by the conditions in the following table:
Table 4, Unit Status
Enum
0 Auto Unit State = Auto
1 Off: Ice Mode Tmr
2 Off: OAT Lockout Unit State = Off and Low OAT Lockout is active
3 Off: All Cir Disabled Unit State = Off and all compressors unavailable
4 Off: Unit Alarm Unit State = Off and Unit Alarm active
5 Off: Keypad Disable Unit State = Off and Unit Enable Setpoint = Disable
6 Off: Remote Sw Unit State = Off and Remote Switch is open
7 Off: BAS Disable
8 Off: Unit Sw Unit State = Off and Unit Switch = Disable
9 Off: Test Mode Unit State = Off and Unit Mode = Test
10 Auto: Noise Reduction Unit State = Auto and Noise Reduction is active
11 Auto: Wait for Load
12 Auto: Evap Recirc Unit State = Auto and Evaporator State = Start
13 Auto: Wait for flow
14 Auto: Pumpdn Unit State = Pumpdown
15 Auto: Max Pulldn
16 Auto: Unit Cap Limit
17 Auto: Current Limit
18 Off. Cfg Chg, Rst Ctlr
19 Off Mfg Loc Not Set Mfg Location is not set
Status Conditions
Unit State = Off, Unit Mode = Ice, and Ice Delay =
Active
Unit State = Off, Control Source = Network, and BAS
Enable = false
Unit State = Auto, no circuits running, and LWT is
less than the active setpoint + startup delta
Unit State = Auto, Evaporator State = Start, and Flow
Switch is open
Unit State = Auto, max pulldown rate has been met or
exceeded
Unit State = Auto, unit capacity limit has been met or
exceeded
Unit State = Auto, unit current limit has been met or
exceeded
Unit configuration setpoint has changed, and reboot
of controller is required
Ice Mode Start Delay
Compressor Staging in Ice Mode
The first compressor will start when evaporator LWT is higher than the target plus the
Startup Delta T setpoint.
When at least one compressor is running, the other compressors will start only when
evaporator LWT is higher than the target plus the Stage Up Delta T setpoint.
All compressors will be staged off when evaporator LWT is less than the target.
Stage Up Delay
A fixed stage up delay of one minute between compressor starts is used in this mode.
When at least one compressor is running, the other compressors will start as quickly as
possible with respect to the stage up delay.
An adjustable start-to-start ice delay timer will limit the frequency with which the chiller
may start in Ice mode. The timer starts when the first compressor starts while the unit is
in ice mode. While this timer is active, the chiller cannot restart in Ice mode. The time
delay is user adjustable.
24 OM 1051-2
The ice delay timer may be manually cleared to force a restart in ice mode. A setpoint
specifically for clearing the ice mode delay is available. In addition, cycling the power to
the controller will clear the ice delay timer.
Evaporator Pump Control
State
Three evaporator pump control states for control of the evaporator pumps:
• Off - No pump on.
• Start – Pump is on, water loop is being recirculated. Recirc timer runnning
• Run – Pump is on, water loop has been recirculated. Recirc timer has timed out
Off The control state is Off when all of the following are true:
• Unit state is Off
• LWT is higher than the Evap Freeze setpoint or LWT sensor fault is active
• EWT is higher than the Evap Freeze setpoint or EWT sensor fault is active
Start. The control state is Start when any of the following are true:
• The unit state is auto
• LWT is less than the Evap Freeze setpoint and LWT sensor fault isn’t active
• EWT is less than the Evap Freeze setpoint and EWT sensor fault isn’t active
Run. The control state is Run when
• The flow switch input has been closed for a time greater than the Evaporator
Recirculate setpoint.
• The flow switch fault is not active
Pump Selection
The pump output used is determined by the Evap Pump Control setpoint. This setting
allows the following configurations:
• #1 only – Pump 1 will always be used
• #2 only – Pump 2 will always be used
• Auto – The primary pump is the one with the least run hours, the other is used as
a backup
• #1 Primary – Pump 1 is used normally, with pump 2 as a backup
• #2 Primary – Pump 2 is used normally, with pump 1 as a backup
Primary/Standby Pump Staging
The standby pump will be on if either of the following are true:
• Pump state is Run and the flow switch is open for Evap Proof Time/2
• Pump start is start and Recirculate timeout has expired.
Auto Control
If auto pump control is selected, the primary/standby logic above is still used. When the
evaporator is not in the run state, the run hours of the pumps will be compared. The
pump with the least hours will be designated as the primary at this time.
Noise Reduction
Noise Reduction is an operating mode designed to reduce unit sound levels by decreasing
compressor and fan operating time. It is used during the night when the cooling load is
usually reduced and the ambient temperature is lower.
Noise Reduction always requires the Noise Reduction setpoint to be set to ‘enable’. If it
is set to ‘disable’, it will not activate for any reason.
Assuming this functionality is enabled, there are two ways it can become active:
