Controls and Components
Your DuraChill Chiller consists of three basic sub-systems:
• Control
• Fluid circulation
• Cooling
This section describes these sub-systems in detail and includes information on the available options. Please
note that your Chiller may or may not be equipped with all the components discussed.
Control System
Control Panel — Temperature set point, temperature units, and other operating parameters are set via the
Control Panel. Operating information is displayed on a local digital readout.
Pressure / Flow
Rate Display
Units / Menu
Select Button
Pressure / Flow Rate Unit
Temperature
Display
Power Switch / Disconnect — The main power switch is located on the front door of the Chiller. This switch
also functions as a power disconnect when access to the unit’s components and terminal blocks is required; the
access door cannot be opened until the Power Switch / Disconnect is placed in the OFF position.
Temperature Unit
Select / Set Knob
Power Button
NOTE: Loss of Power – In the event that power is lost while the Chiller is operating, the unit will
automatically resume operation when the power is restored. If the unit was in Standby mode when power is
lost, it will power up in Standby mode. The above is also true if power is removed via the Power Switch /
Disconnect.
Temperature Probe — An internal RTD is used to measure fluid temperature downstream of the pump. Its
reading is displayed on the Control Panel’s LED temperature display.
Flow Sensor — Monitors process fluid flow. If the flow rate is less than the user-settable alarm value, power to
the pump, compressor, and fan is removed and an alarm message displayed on the Control Panel’s LED
readout.
Flow Switch — Requires a minimum of ~4 gpm (15.1 lpm) to close. If the flow rate is too low, the switch will
open and power to the pump, compressor, and fan removed; an alarm message will also be displayed on the
Control Panel’s LED readout.
Fluid Pressure Sensor — Measures fluid pressure at the pump outlet. If the fluid pressure exceeds the user-
settable alarm value, power to the pump, compressor, and fan is removed and an alarm message displayed on
the Control Panel’s LED readout.
Refrigerant Pressure Switches — When activated, these switches remove power to the pump, compressor,
and fan; an alarm message is also displayed on the Control Panel’s LED readout.
The Low Pressure Switch opens if the refrigerant pressure falls below 10 psi (0.7 bar) and closes if the
pressure is above 30 psi (2.1 bar). The Low Pressure Switch will auto-reset.
The High Pressure Switch opens if the refrigerant pressure exceeds 630 psi (43.4 bar). The High
Pressure Switch must be manually reset (see Troubleshooting, Compressor Overload Fault).
110-279 8
Fan Cycling Switch — This switch control fan operation. The fan turns ON when the discharge pressure of the
refrigerant exceeds 400 psi (27.8 bar) and remains running until the pressure falls below 300 psi (20.7 bar).
NOTE: 10 HP Chillers have two fans. One fan turns ON with the compressor and runs continuously as long
as the compressor is ON; operation of the second fan is based on refrigerant pressure as described above.
Reservoir Float Switch (Optional) — Measures liquid level in the Chiller’s reservoir. If the fluid level drops too
low, power to the pump, compressor, and fan is removed and an alarm message displayed on the Control
Panel’s LED readout.
Fluid Circulation System
This sub-system governs fluid flow through the Chiller.
Evaporator — Serves as the heat exchanger between the refrigeration and fluid flow systems. Cools fluid
before it returns to process.
Reservoir Tank — This polyethylene tank is used to maintain stable temperature control and an adequate
reservoir of fluid for the system. It may be equipped with an optional float switch that monitors fluid level and
activates an alarm. A stainless steel reservoir is available as an option.
Sight Glass or Level Indicator — This indicator serves as a convenient means of checking the liquid level
within the Reservoir Tank. The sight glass is located on the rear panel.
Pump — Used to pump fluid from the Reservoir Tank to the process and back to the Chiller. A variety of pumps
are available for operation at different pressures, flow rates, and distances from the Chiller to the process.
Full Flow Bypass — Allows the maximum operating pressure to be regulated and protects the Pump in the
event that process piping becomes restricted or clogged. Diverts flow from the process line back to the
Evaporator and Reservoir.
Y-Strainer — Located on the inlet to the Chiller. Incorporates a cleanable 20 mesh (841 micron) stainless steel
screen to remove large particulate matter from the process fluid.
External Bypass / Shutoff Valves — Allows the unit to be operated independent of the process during the
servicing of process equipment and/or process lines. Can also be used to fine-tune process pressure and flow
rate.
Process Side-Stream Filter System (Optional) — Consists of a 50 micro filter and ball valve connected
between the Chiller inlet and outlet. It is used to filter particulate matter from a portion of the process fluid flow.
Cooling System
NOTE: The Condenser on DuraChill Chillers is either air-cooled or water-cooled.
Common Cooling System Components
The following components are common to both air-cooled (DA models) and water-cooled (DW models)
DuraChill Chillers:
Evaporator — Serves as the heat exchanger between the refrigeration and fluid flow systems. Removes heat
from the process fluid before it is returned to the process equipment.
Compressor — The Chiller incorporates a 5 to 10 HP Copeland Scroll compressor. The Compressor is
protected from overloads through high and low pressure cutouts.
Filter Dryer
— Removes residual particulate matter and moisture from the refrigeration system. The Filter Dryer
must be replaced whenever the sealed refrigeration lines are opened for service.
Sight Glass — Used to observe refrigerant fluid flow to the Evaporator.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) — Controls refrigerant superheat at the outlet of the Evaporator to
prevent liquid from returning to the Compressor.
110-279 9
Hot Gas Bypass Solenoid Valve — Injects refrigerant vapor into the Evaporator to help maintain a constant
temperature when the temperature of the process fluid falls below the temperature set point. Under low- and noload conditions, temperature continues to fall until it reaches the “Lb” lower band and shuts the Compressor
OFF.
Refrigerant Safety Relief Valve — This is an automatic safety used to vent refrigeration gas if it exceeds 650
psi (44.8 bar).
Air-Cooled Chillers (DA Models)
The following components are specific to air-cooled DuraChill Chillers:
Condenser — The Compressor pumps vapor into the Condenser at high pressure. As the surrounding air is
cooler than the hot vapor, heat energy passes into the air from the condenser coils.
Condensing Fan — a 1 HP fan (two fans on 10 HP units) that draws air over the condenser coils to cool
refrigerant gas. The standard fan cycles ON and OFF based on refrigerant pressure (ON at 400 psi / 27.6 bar;
OFF at 300 psi / 20.7 bar). The second fan on 10 HP units runs whenever the Compressor is ON.
Water-Cooled Chillers (DW Models)
Brazed-Plate Heat Exchanger / Condenser — Serves as the heat exchanger between the refrigeration system
and the facility water supplied by the customer. Removes heat from the refrigerant.
Condensing Water Regulating Valve — This valve regulates the facility water flow to maintain optimal
discharge pressure (approximately 250 psi / 17.2 bar) for the heat exchange in the Condenser. It increases flow
to decrease pressure and decreases flow to increase pressure.
Receiver — The main purpose of the Receiver is to temporarily store refrigerant (in its liquid state) that is not
required when load conditions are low. The Receiver also provides a constant supply of liquid to the
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV).

Installation and Startup
WARNING: Be sure all power is OFF before proceeding.
Site Requirements
Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity
The Chiller is designed for indoor installation in ambient temperatures between 60° and 104°F (16° and 40°C);
relative humidity should not exceed 80% (non-condensing).
Location
The Chiller should be installed on a strong, level surface capable of supporting 1050 lbs. / 476.3 kg (5 and 7.5
HP units) or 1500 lbs. / 680.1 kg (10 HP units).
It should be located as close to possible to the process requiring cooling and installed no closer than 4 feet (1.4
meters) to a heat-generating source, such as heating pipes, boilers, etc. If possible, the Chiller should be
located near a suitable drain to prevent flooding in the event of leaks. Do not place it where corrosive fumes,
excessive moisture, excessive dust, or high room temperatures are present.
For ease of positioning and maneuverability, the Chiller is supplied with casters. The front wheels can be locked
to keep the Chiller in place while in use.
To help prevent voltage drops, position the Chiller as close as possible to the power distribution panel. Avoid
voltage drops by using a properly grounded power source wired to meet electrical data plate requirements. The
use of an extension cord is not recommended.
NOTE: The Chiller may be located at a level below that of the equipment being cooled. As long as the
process remains closed, overflow will not occur when adding cooling fluid to the Chiller reservoir.
Clearance
Adequate clearance should be allowed on the front, sides, and rear of the Chiller for access to connections and
components. The front and rear vents of the Chiller must be a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) away from walls or
vertical surfaces so air flow is not restricted.

Electrical Power
WARNING: Make sure the main power switch is in the OFF position before connecting or disconnecting
electrical power from the unit. Follow all applicable electrical and safety codes and procedures when
connecting power to the unit. Electrical connections should be made by an authorized electrical installer.
WARNING:
Make certain that the electrical supply is the same voltage and frequency as your unit (see identification
label).
Make sure electrical connections comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Ground the Chiller in accordance with NEC Article 250.
Operating voltage must be within 10% of the data plate rating.
Phase imbalance must be below 5%.
WARNING: DO NOT apply power to the Chiller until the unit is ready for Startup
CAUTION: DO NOT apply power to the Chiller until the Reservoir has been filled. When Controller power
is turned ON, the pump automatically begins pumping. If the Reservoir has not been filled, the pump could
be damaged.
The Chiller is equipped with a phase monitor that prevents startup if phase sequence is incorrect. It will also turn
the Chiller OFF in the event of a loss of one phase and/or prevent Chiller operation if there is a voltage
mismatch between any two phases greater than 8%. Be sure to connect electrical lines in proper sequence, i.e.:
L1, L2, and L3.
There is a junction box on the rear of the unit to which you can connect the electrical power supply conduit. Be
sure to provide suitable conduit strain relief and grounding.
WARNING: DO NOT remove the ground wire while diagnosing any power supply problems.
110-279 14
Signal Inputs/Outputs
Remote On / Off and Alarm Output
Remote On / Off
This allows the operator to turn the Chiller ON and OFF using a remote dry contact. The Chiller is ON when the
contact is open; it is OFF when the contact is closed. A 10-ft (3 m) cord with 5-pin mating plug is provided.
Alarm Output
This allows the operator to connect a remote alarm device to the Chiller. The alarm output consists of normally
open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts which are switched whenever an alarm, fault, or error condition is
detected or when the Chiller is OFF. A 10-ft (3 m) cord with 5-pin mating plug is provided.
RS-232 Serial Communication (RS-485 Option)
This allows the operator to remotely control the Chiller and/or output temperature readings to an external
recorder or other auxiliary device. A 9-pin D-connector is provided on the rear of the instrument enclosure for
this connection.
The maximum communications distance for Chillers equipped with RS-232 is 50 feet (15 meters); the maximum
distance for units equipped with the RS-485 option is 4000 feet (1200 meters).
See the Technical Information section for serial communications protocol and commands.
110-279 15
External Piping
WARNING: All facility water connections must be made by a licensed plumber.
General Considerations
To maintain a safe workplace and avoid leaks, special care should be taken when choosing hoses and
connectors for the Chiller. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the tubing and fittings connected to the
Chiller are compatible with the fluid, temperature, and pressure being used.
• Pressure Ratings – Hoses should be able to withstand a minimum pressure of 250 psi (17.2 bar).
• Flexible Tubing – Avoid tubing that will expand and increase fluid volume when operating at the desired
pressure.
• Take care when selecting hoses and connections for the Chiller. All external piping, tubing, or hoses should
be run full size to limit the potential for external pressure drops. The use of quick-connect fittings is not
recommended, as they can cause substantial pressure drops.
• Where applicable, always use a back-up wrench when making piping connections to the Chiller.
• Hose Diameter – The fittings on the Chiller’s process fluid lines are female 1.5 in NPT. The facility water
fluid inlets and outlets on water-cooled models are female 0.75 inch NPT.
• Facility Water (water-cooled models only) – Should be clean and well maintained. Ideally, the facility water
should be tested monthly to ensure a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8. Add algaecide if algae growth is
present.
Process Fluid Connections
The Chiller has two internally threaded (1.5 inch ID NPT) fittings on the rear of the instrument housing for the
process water connections.
Connect the Chiller’s inlet and outlet to the external apparatus with hoses or pipes. The direction of the flow
through the system can be controlled by the way the connections are made. Fluid is drawn into the Chiller
through the “Inlet” connection; fluid is pumped out of the Chiller through the “Outlet” connection.
Facility Water Connections
WARNING: The incoming cooling water pressure should be 20 psi / 1.4 bar minimum and 40 psi / 2.8 bar
maximum.
Water-cooled Chillers have two internally threaded (0.75 inch ID NPT) on the rear of the instrument housing for
the facility water connections. The cooling water supply should be connected to the facility water inlet on the
Chiller. The facility water outlet on the Chiller should be connected to the appropriate return or drain, as
required.
The cooling water supply may be from city tap water or a cooling tower. The incoming water pressure should be
between 20 and 40 psi / 1.4 and 2.8 bar.
Reservoir Drain
A 0.75 inch NPT connection is provided at the bottom of the reservoir Sight Glass / Level Indicator for the
reservoir’s gravity drain. It should be piped to a drain or receptacle positioned below the bottom of the reservoir.
If a receptacle is used, be sure it is of sufficient volume to hold all the coolant in the reservoir, process, and
process lines.
Reservoir Fill / Vent
A 0.75 inch female NPT connection is provided at the top of the Reservoir Sight Glass / Level Indicator.
If desired, you may add coolant to the Chiller through this connection to maintain an adequate fluid level. It is
recommended that you fill the Reservoir initially via the fill port at the top of the Reservoir.
110-279 16
If the Chiller is equipped with the heater option, a Reservoir vent should be installed. This vent relieves pressure
within the Reservoir as coolant heats and expands.
It may be also necessary to vent and/or add a venting pipe to the Chiller to prevent siphoning and/or overflow
due to the amount of fluid external to the Chiller’s reservoir and/or location of the process being cooled.
NOTE: If the amount of fluid present in the process piping when the Chiller is turned OFF exceeds the
capacity of the Reservoir, it may be necessary to install a normally closed (NO) solenoid valve on the
Chiller’s fluid inlet and a check valve on the Chiller’s fluid outlet to prevent backflow into the unit.
Full Flow Bypass
This allows the operator to adjust the maximum operating pressure to the process. For low pressure pumps, the
pressure range is 7 to 35 psi (0.5 to 2.4 bar). For high pressure pumps, the pressure range is 30 to 100 psi (2.1
to 6.9 bar). The Full Flow Bypass is located on the left front side of the Chiller housing just above the pump.
NOTE: The Full Flow Bypass also protects the pump when running continuously under dead head conditions
caused by a blockage in the process or process lines.
Adjusting the Full Flow Bypass Pressure Setting
WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present.
The pressure setting on the Full Flow Bypass is adjusted as follows:
1. Set the minimum allowable flow rate to 0 (see Normal Operation, Setting Operational Parameters / Limits, Minimum Flow Rate).
2. Completely block the flow from the Chiller’s fluid outlet. This should cause the pressure to rise.
3. Set the Pressure / Flow Rate Display to read in either PSI or kPa (see Normal Operation, Selecting the Pressure / Flow Rate Display and Units).
4. Remove the insulation covering the pressure regulating valve cap and then remove the cap. There may
be some coolant in the cap; this is normal.
5. Loosen the locknut and then using a flat blade screwdriver, adjust the pressure until the reading on the
Pressure / Flow Rate Display matches the desired maximum operating pressure. A clockwise rotation
increases pressure; a counter-clockwise rotation decreases pressure.
6. Set the minimum allowable flow rate to the desired value.
7. Tighten the locknut and replace the cap and insulation.
8. Set the Pressure / Flow Rate Display to the preferred reading (GPM, LPM, PSI, kPa).

Process Coolant
Suitable Fluids
WARNING: Use only fluids that comply with safety, health, and equipment compatibility requirements. Read the safety data sheet for the fluid being used carefully before use.
CAUTION: Do not fill the Reservoir with deionized water unless the Chiller is equipped with the DI water
compatible plumbing option.
The Chiller is designed to accommodate a variety of coolant fluids (water, glycol mixtures, etc). For most
applications above 60°F (16°C), distilled water is satisfactory. For operation below 60°F (16°C), the Chiller must
be protected with an antifreeze solution. Laboratory grade ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and water in a
50/50 mixture is satisfactory from 5° to 60°F (-15° to +16°C). Select a fluid that is compatible with the Chiller’s
wetted parts (brass, bronze, stainless steel, EPDM rubber, nylon, PVC).
CAUTION: Coolant freeze protection must be 25°F (14°C) below the lowest possible temperature. The
lowest possible temperature is equal to the process temperature minus the Lower Band ‘Lb’ setting (see
Normal Operation, Setting Operational Parameters / Limits, Lower Band).
WARNING: Do not use caustic, corrosive, or flammable fluids.
CAUTION: Operation below 15°C (59°F) requires antifreeze in the circulation fluid. DO NOT use
automotive antifreeze as the additives may be harmful to the Chiller’s wetted parts.
DO NOT USE the following fluids:
• Automotive antifreeze with additives**
• Hard tap water**
• Deionized water with a specific resistance > 1 meg ohm (except units with the DI water compatible
plumbing
• Any flammable fluids
• Concentrations of acids or bases
• Solutions with halides: chlorides, fluorides, bromides, iodides or sulfur
• Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)
• Solutions wi
th chromates or chromium salts
• Glycerin
• Syltherm fluids

An algaecide may be added to the coolant fluid to prevent algae growth (see PolyScience Chiller Fluids).
110-279 18
Startup
CAUTION: The first time the Chiller is operated it should run for 12 hours in the Standby mode to allow the compressor crankcase heater to boil off any refrigerant absorbed in the compressor oil.
CAUTION: DO NOT turn Controller power ON until the Reservoir has been filled. When Controller power is
turned ON, the pump automatically begins pumping. If the Reservoir has not been filled, the pump may be
damaged.
Facility Water Flow (water-cooled units only)
1. Open the valves to the facility water supply and return.
2. Check for leaks.
Filling the Reservoir
1. Remove the rear left panel of the Chiller housing. It is held in place with two captive screws.
2. Remove the reservoir cap located on the top of the Reservoir and, using a funnel, add fluid until it is
approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) below top of reservoir.
3. Once the fluid level is about 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the top of the reservoir, remove the funnel but do not
replace the cap at this time.
110-279 19
Starting Process Fluid Flow
1. Place the Power Switch / Disconnect in the ON position. The Control Panel displays will respond by
showing five decimal points (.....). This indicates that the Chiller is in the Standby mode and is ready for
power up. If this is the first time the Chiller is being operated, allow it to run in the Standby mode for 12
hours (see Caution note above).
2. Press the Power Button on the Control Panel. The system startup sequence will begin and proceed as
follows:
• The pump will turn on and fluid will begin circulating through the system.
CAUTION: On initial startup or after long periods of inactivity, run the Chiller for 10 seconds, turn power OFF, and restart five times to remove any air in the process lines.
• The set point temperature will appear briefly on the Temperature Display; after a few seconds, it will be
replaced by the actual fluid temperature. The right decimal point will flash while the set point is being
displayed.
• The system will go through a short initialization sequence.
• Once initialization has been completed, the compressor will begin operating. When the pressure in the
discharge line reaches 400 psi (27.6 bar), the fan will turn ON. Water-cooled units: The coolant water
regulating valve opens/closes to maintain the pressure in the discharge line at approximately 250 psi
(17.2 bar).
• The Controller will display the actual process fluid temperature and the appropriate ‘degrees’ LED will
be lit (C or F).
3. Check for leaks.
4. With the pump running, the reservoir’s fluid level will drop as the process and/or process cooling lines fill
with fluid. Slowly add fluid to the reservoir until the liquid level remains stable. This means that the system
is filled and any entrained air has been purged.
5. Replace the reservoir cap.

fill level is approximately 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the top of the Reservoir. If fluid replacement is required, slowly
add coolant until the proper fill level is achieved. You may add coolant either directly to the Reservoir or through
the top of the Liquid Level Sight Glass on the rear of the unit.
Coolant Freeze Protection
CAUTION: Coolant freeze protection must be 25°F (14°C) below the lowest possible temperature. The
lowest possible temperature is equal to the process temperature minus the Lower Band (Lb) setting. See
Normal Operation, Setting Operational Parameters / Limits.
If your Chiller is operating below 59°F (15°C), it must be protected with an antifreeze solution. The coolant
should be checked periodically for proper freeze protection.
Inline Strainer
The Chiller’s inline strainer should be inspected and cleaned weekly for the first month of operation. Once you
are certain that all debris that has been generated or dislodged has been removed from the process coolant,
strainer inspection and cleaning should be performed every three months or as required, whichever is more
frequent.
1. Place the Power Switch / Disconnect in the OFF position.
2. Remove the Chiller’s left side rear panel. The inline strainer is located just above the Reservoir at the
inlet to the Chiller.
3. Using an adjustable wrench or the proper size hex head socket, loosen and remove the inline strainer
cap and screen.
NOTE: There will be a small amount of residual coolant within the housing of the inline strainer
which will drain out when the cap is removed.
4. Clean the screen. Either water or high pressure air can be used to remove accumulated debris.
5. Replace screen and drain cap and tighten.
6. Place Power Switch / Disconnect in the ON position.
7. Check for leaks before replacing left rear side panel.

Air Filters
Chillers incorporate two or more high-efficiency, removable air filters. These should be inspected weekly during
the first month of operation to determine how frequently cleaning is required. Units located in dusty or oily
environments will require more frequent air filter cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow the air filters to become caked with dust or coated with an oily film. This
significantly reduces air flow and will decrease cooling efficiency. It can also lead to filter breakthrough,
allowing dust and oil to get into and on the fins and coils of the condenser.
The Chiller’s air filters are removed and cleaned as follows:
1. Grasp the strap at the bottom center of the air filter and gently lift up and away from the Chiller housing.
2. Direct water or a high pressure air stream through the back of the filter (downstream side) opposite the
air flow arrow. If using water, allow the filter to dry before reinstalling.
3. Position the top edge in the upper channel of the Chiller housing, with the air flow arrow pointing toward
the inside of the Chiller housing.
4. Gently lift on the bottom strap and push the bottom edge of the filter toward the housing until the filter is
securely in place.
110-279 35
Troubleshooting
NOTE: Many problems can be resolved by restoring the factory defaults. If this solves the problem, be
careful when restoring your operational settings in order not to repeat the problem.
To restore the factory default settings:
1. Place the Power Switch / Disconnect in the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the Units/Menu Button (for °F) or the Power Button (for °C) while returning the
Power Switch / Disconnect to the ON position.
WARNING: Service should only be performed by qualified personnel. Extreme caution is required as
hazards are present when servicing this equipment.
WARNING: When electrical power is ON, dangerous voltages exist within chassis components. Use
extreme care when measuring voltages on live circuits.

110-279 36
Compressor Overload Fault (Ft 20)
The Chiller has both low and high refrigerant pressure sensors. They are wired in series and connect to DAF2
on the Control PCB. If either sensor opens, the Ft 20 alarm is activated. To troubleshoot, measure the continuity
across each senor.
Low Pressure Sensor
The low pressure sensor opens if the suction pressure drops below 15 psi (1 bar) and automatically closes
when the suction pressure rises above 30 psi (2.1) bar. If a continuity check of this sensor shows that it is open,
it is probably due to a loss of refrigerant, although a faulty sensor cannot be ruled out. Contact your local HVAC
technician to check the refrigeration system.
High Pressure Sensor
The high pressure sensor opens if the discharge pressure exceeds 630 psi (43.4 bar). If a continuity check
shows that this sensor is open, it may be due to high ambient temperature, dirty air filters, or large heat loads. A
faulty sensor cannot be ruled out.
Once the high pressure sensor opens, it must be manually reset as follows:
WARNING: Compressor and copper tubing may be very hot.
1. Remove the front right side panel of the Chiller housing.
2. Locate the blue sensor with red reset button on the compressor discharge line.
3. Depress the red reset button.
4. Replace front right side panel.
If high ambient temperature, dirty air filters, or large heat loads have been ruled out as reasons for an open high
pressure sensor and the sensor remains open or continues to open, contact your local HVAC technician to
check the refrigeration system.

4-20 mA Set Point Control
This feature is optional and may not appear in your version of software. To enable it, go the Current Control (CC) in the Operational Parameters menu and set
to YES.
If current input is outside 4-20 mA, ECC (Error Current Control) will be displayed and the pump, compressor, and fan will turn Off. Sending an in-range input
will restart the Chiller.
