Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and
equipment location (roof, elevated structures, mechanical
rooms, etc.). Only trained, qualified installers and service
mechanics should install, start up, and service this equipment.
When working on this equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, and on tags, stickers, a nd labels attached to the
equipment, and any other safety precautions that apply. Follow
all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use
care in handling, rigging, and setting this equipment, and in
handling all electrical components.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut
off all power to this equipment during installation and
service. There may be more than one disconnect switch.
Tag all disconnect locations to alert others not to restore
power until work is completed.
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building.
Outlet from relief valves must be vented outdoors in
accordance with the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE
(American National Standards Institute/Ame rican Society
of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers)
15 (Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration). The
accumulation of refrigerant in an enclosed space can
displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation. Provide adequate
ventilation in enclosed or low overhead areas. Inhalation of
high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause
heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Misuse can
be fatal. Vapor is heavier than air and reduces the amount
of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye and
skin irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.

50/60 Hz
This unit uses a microprocessor-based electronic control
system. Do not use jumpers or other tools to short out
components, or to bypass or otherwise depart from recommended procedures. Any short-to-ground of the control
board or accompanying wiring may destroy the electronic
modules or electrical components.
To prevent potential damage to heat exchanger, always run
fluid through heat exchanger when adding or removing
refrigerant charge. Use appropriate brine solutions in cooler
fluid loop to prevent the freezing of brazed plate heat
exchanger, option al hydronic section and/or interconnecting
piping when the equipment is exposed to temperatures
below 32 F (0 °C). Proof of flow switch and strainer are
factory installed on all models. Do NOT remove power
from this chiller during winter shutdown periods without
taking precaution to remove all water from heat exchanger
and optional hydronic system. Failure to properly protect
the system from freezing may constitute abuse and may
void warranty.
Compressors and optional hydronic system pumps require
specific rotation. Test condenser fan(s) first to ensure
proper phasing. Swap any two incoming power leads to
correct condenser fan rotation before starting any other
motors.
Refrigerant charge must be removed slowly to prevent loss
DO NOT attempt to unbraze factory joints w hen servicing
this equipment. Compressor oil is flammable and there is
no way to detect how much oil may be in any of the
refrigerant lines. Cut lines with a tubing cutter as re quired
when performing service. Use a pan to catch any oil that
may come out of the lines and as a gage for how much oil
to add to system. DO NOT re-use compressor oil.

MAJOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS
General —
contain the ComfortLink™ electronic control system that
controls and monitors all operations of the chiller.
The control system is composed of several components as
listed in the sections below. See Fig. 1 and 2 for typical control
box drawing. See Fig. 3-6 for control schematics.
Main Base Board (MBB) —
the heart of the ComfortLink control system. It contains the
major portion of operating software and controls the ope ration
of the machine. The MBB continuously monitors input/output
channel information received from its inputs and from all other
modules. The MBB receives inputs from the discharge and
suction pressure transducers and thermistors. See Table 2. The
MBB also receives the feedback inputs from each compressor
contactor, auxiliary contacts, and other status switches. See
T a ble 3. The MBB also controls several outputs. Relay outputs
controlled by the MBB are shown in Table 4. Information
is transmitted between modules via a 3-wire communication
bus or LEN (Local Equipment Network). The SCN (Sterlco
Comfort Network) bus is also supported. Connections to both
LEN and SCN buses are made at TB3. See Fig. 8.
Scrolling Marquee Display —
is the keypad interface used for accessing chiller information,
reading sensor values, and testing the chiller. The marquee
display is a 4-key, 4-character , 16-segment LED (light-emitting
diode) display. Eleven mode LEDs are loca ted on the display
as well as an Alarm Status LED. See Marquee Display Usa ge
section on page 23 for further details.
Energy Management Module (EMM) —
module is available as a factory-installed option or as a fieldinstalled accessory. The EMM module receives 4 to 20 mA
inputs for the leaving fluid temperature reset, cooling set point
and demand limit functions. The EMM module also receives
the switch inputs for the field-installed 2-stage demand limit
and ice done functions. The EMM module communicates the
status of all inputs with the MBB, and the MBB adjusts the
control point, capacity limit, and other functions according to
the inputs received.
Enable/Off/Remote Contact Switch —
Off/Remote Contact switch is a 3-position switch used to
control the chiller. When switched to the Enable position the
chiller is under its own control. Move the switch to the Off
position to shut the chiller down. Move the switch to the
Remote Contact position and a field-installed dry contact can
be used to start the chiller. The contacts must be capable of
handling a 24 vac, 50-mA load. In the Enable and Remote
The 30RA air-cooled reciprocating chillers
See Fig. 7. The MBB is
This standarddevice
The EMM
The Enable/
Contact (dry contacts closed) positions, the chiller is allowed to
operate and respond to the scheduling configuration, SCN
configuration and set point data. See Fig. 8.
Emergency On/Off Switch —
The Emergency On/Off
switch should only be used when it is required to shut the
chiller off immediately. Power to the MBB, EMM, and
marquee display is interrupted when this switch is off and all
outputs from these modules will be turned off.
Board Addresses —
The Main Base Board (MBB) has
a 3-position Instance jumper that must be set to ‘1.’ All other
boards have 4-position DIP switches. All switches are set to
‘On’ for all boards.
Control Module Communication
RED LED — Proper operation of the control boards can be
visually checked by looking at the red status LEDs
(light-emitting diodes). When operating correctly, the red status
LEDs should be blinking in unison at a rate of once every
2 seconds. If the red LEDs are not blinking in unison, verify
that correct power is being supplied to all modules. Be sure that
the Main Base Board (MBB) is supplied with the current
software. If necessary, reload current software. If the problem
still persists, replace the MBB. A red LED that is lit continuously or blinking at a rate of once per second or faster indicates
that the board should be replaced.
GREE N LED — The MBB has one green LED. The Local
Equipment Network (LEN) LED should always be blinking
whenever power is on. All other boards have a LEN LED
which should be blinking whenever power is on. Check LEN
connections for potential communication errors at the board J3
and/or J4 connectors. Communication between modules is
accomplished by a 3-wire sensor bus. These 3 wires run in
parallel from module to module. The J4 connector on the MBB
provides both power and communication directly to the
marquee display only.
YELLOW LED — The MBB has one yellow LED. The
Sterlco Comfort Network (SCN) LED will blink during times
of network communication.
Sterlco Comfort Network (SCN) Interface —
The 30RA chiller units can be connected to the SCN if
desired. The communication bus wiring is a shielded,
3-conductor cable with drain wire and is supplied and installed
in the field. See Table 5. The system elements are connected to
the communication bus in a daisy chain arrangement. The
positive pin of each system element communication connector
must be wired to the positive pins of the system elements on
either side of it. This is also required for the negative and
signal ground pins of each system element. Wiring connections
for SCN should be made at TB3. Consult the SCN Contractor’s Manual for further information.
NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be 20 AWG (American Wire Gage) minimum stranded, tinned copper. Individual
conductors must be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon, vinyl,
Teflon, or polyethylene. An aluminum/polyester 100% foil
shield and an outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl,
or Teflon with a minimum operating temperature range of
–20 C to 60 C is required. Wire manufactured by Alpha (2413
or 5463), American (A22503), Belden (8772), or Columbia
(02525) meets the above mentioned requirements.
It is important when connecting to a SCN communication
bus that a color coding scheme be used for the entire network
to simplify the installation. It is recommended that red be used
for the signal positive, black for the signal negative, and white
for the signal ground. Use a similar scheme for cables containing different colored wires.
3
At each system element, the shields of its communication
bus cables must be tied together. If the communication bus is
entirely within one building, the resulting continuous shield
must be connected to a ground at one point only. If the communication bus cable exits from one building and enters another,
the shields must be connected to grounds at the lightning
suppressor in each building where the cable enters or exits the
building (one point per building only). To connect the unit to
the network:
1. Turn off power to the control box.
2. Cut the SCN wire and strip the ends of the red (+), white
(ground), and black (–) conductors. (Substitute appropriate colors for different colored cables.)
3. Connect the red wire to (+) terminal on TB3 of the plug,
the white wire to COM terminal, and the black wire to the
(–) terminal.
4. The RJ14 SCN connector on TB3 can also be used, but is
only intended for temporary connection (for example, a
laptop computer running Service Tool).

DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: A shorted SCN bus cable will prevent some
routines from running and may prevent the unit from starting. If abnormal conditions occur, unplug the connector. If
conditions return to normal, check the SCN connector and
cable. Run new cable if necessary. A short in on e section of
the bus can cause problems with all system elements on the
bus.
The electronic control uses 3 to 6 thermistors to
sense temperatures for controlling chiller operation. See
T able 2. These sensors are outlined below. Thermistors T1, T2,
T9 and accessory suction gas temperatures (T7,T8) are 5 kΩ at
77 F (25 C) and are identical in temperature versus resistance
and voltage drop performance. Thermistor T10 is 10 kΩ at
77 F (25 C) and has a different temperature vs. resistance and
voltage drop performance. See Thermistors section for
temperature-resistance-voltage drop characteristics.
T1 — CO OL ER L EAVIN G FL UID SE NSO R — On 30RA010030 sizes, this thermistor is installed in a friction fit well at the
bottom of the brazed-plate heat exchanger on the cont rol box
side. For 30RA032-055 sizes, this thermistor is installed in a
well in the factory-installed leaving fluid piping coming from
the bottom of the brazed-plate heat exchanger opposite the
control box side.
T2 — C OO L E R E NT E RI N G F L UI D SE N SO R — On 30RA010030 sizes, this thermistor is installed in a friction fit well at the
top of the brazed-plate heat exchanger on the control box side.
For 30RA032-055 sizes, this thermistor is installed in a well in
the factory-installed entering fluid piping coming from t he top
of the brazed-plate heat exchanger opposite the control box
side.
T7,T8 — COMPRESSOR RETURN GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ACCESSORY) — A well for this sensor
is factory installed in each circuit's suction line. If desired, a
5 kΩ thermistor (Sterling part number HH79NZ029) can be
installed in this well and connected to the Main Base Board
as shown in Tabl e 2. Use the Scrolling Marquee display to configure the sensor (Configuration mode, sub-mode OPT1 —
enable item RG.EN).
T9 — OUTDOOR-AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR —
This sensor is factory-installed on a bracket at the left side of
compressor A1 on 30RA010-030 models. For models
30RA032-055, it is installed behind the panel below the
control box center door.
4
T10 — REMOTE SPACE TEMPERATURE SENSOR OR
DUAL LEAVING WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR —
One of two inputs can be connected to TB5-5 and TB5-6. See
appropriate sensor below.
T10 — Remote Space Temperature Sensor
— Sensor T10
(part no. 33ZCT55SPT) is an accessory sensor that is remotely
mounted in the controlled space and used for space temperature reset. The sensor should be installed as a wall-mount ed
thermostat would be (in the conditioned space where it will not
be subjected to either a cooling or heating source or direct
exposure to sunlight, and 4 to 5 ft above the floor).
Space temperature sensor wires are to be connected to
terminals in the unit main control box. T he space temperature
sensor includes a terminal block (SEN) and a RJ11 female
connector. The RJ11 connector is used access into the Sterlco
Comfort Network (SCN) at the sensor.
T o connect the space temperature sensor (Fig. 9):
1. Using a 20 AWG twisted pair conductor cable rated for
the application, connect 1 wire of the twisted pair to one
SEN terminal and connect the other wire to the other
SEN terminal located under the cover of the space
temperature sensor.
2. Connect the other ends of the wires to terminals 5 and 6
on TB5 located in the unit control box.
Units on the SCN can be monitored from the space at the
sensor through the RJ11 connector, if desired. To wire the RJ11
connector into the SCN (Fig. 10):
IMPORTANT: The cable selected for the RJ11 connector
wiring MUST be identical to the SCN communication bus
wire used for the entire network. Refer to Table 5 for
acceptable wiring.
1. Cut the SCN wire and strip ends of the red (+), white
(ground), and black (–) conductors. (If another wire color
scheme is used, strip ends of appropriate wires.)
2. Insert and secure the red (+) wire to terminal 5 of the
space temperature sensor terminal block.
3. Insert and secure the white (ground) wire to terminal 4 of
the space temperature sensor.
4. Insert and secure the black (–) wire to terminal 2 of the
space temperature sensor.
5. Connect the other end of the communication bus cable to
the remainder of the SCN communication bus.
T10 — Dual Leaving Water Temperature Sensor
— For
dual chiller applications (parallel only are supported), connect
the dual chiller leaving fluid temperature sensor (5 k Ω ther-
mistor, Sterling part no. HH79NZ029) to the space temperature
input of the Master chiller. If space temperature is required for
reset applications, connect the sensor to the S lave chiller and
configure the slave chiller to broadcast the value to the Master
chiller.

This
factory-installed option (FIOP) or field-installed accessory is
used for the following types of temperature reset, demand
limit, and/or ice features:
•4 to 20 mA leaving fluid temperature reset (requires
field-supplied 4 to 20 mA generator)
•4 to 20 mA cooling set point reset (requires field-
supplied 4 to 20 mA generator)
•Discrete inputs for 2-step demand limit (requires field-
supplied dry contacts capable of handling a 24 vac,
50 mA load)
•4 to 20 mA demand limit (requires field-supplied 4 to
20 mA gener ator)
•Discrete input for Ice Done switch (requires field-
supplied dry contacts capable of handling a 24 vac,
50 mA load)
See Demand Limit and Temperature Reset sections on
pages 44 and 43 for further details.
Care should be taken when interfacing with other manufacturer’s control systems due to possible power supply
differences, full wave bridge versus half wave rectification.
The two different power supplies cannot be mixed.
ComfortLink™ controls use half wave rectification. A
signal isolation device should be utilized if a full wave
bridge signal generating device is used.
Loss-of-Cooler Flow Protection —
A proof-of-cooler
flow device is factory installed in all chillers. It is recommended
that proper operation of the switch be verified on a regular basis .
Thermostatic Expansion Valves (TXV) —
All units
are equipped from the factory with conventional TXVs. Each
refrigeration circuit is also supplied with a factory-installed
liquid line filter drier and sight glass.
The TXV is set at th e factory to maintain approxim ately 8 to
12° F (4.4 to 6.7° C) suction superheat leaving the cooler by
metering the proper amount of refrigerant into the cooler. All
TXVs are adjustable, but should not be adjusted unlessabsolutely necessary.
The TXV is designed to limit the cooler saturated suction
temperature to 55 F (12.8 C). This makes it possible for unit to
start at high cooler fluid temperatures without overloading the
compressor.
Capacity Control —
The control system cycles compressors, and minimum load valve solenoids (if equipped) to
maintain the user-configured leaving chilled fluid temperat ure
set point. Entering fluid temperature is used by the Main Base
Board (MBB) to determine the temperature drop across the
cooler and is used in determining the optimum time to add or
subtract capacity stages. The chilled fluid temperature set point
can be automatically reset by the return fluid temperature,
space, or outdoor-air temperature reset features. It can also be
reset from an external 4 to 20-mA signal (requires Energy
Management Module FIOP or accessory).
The control has an automatic lead-lag feature built in which
determines the wear factor (combination of starts and run
hours) for each compressor. If all compressors are off and less
than 30 minutes has elapsed since the last compressor was
turned off, the wear factor is used to determine which compressor to start next. If no compressors have been running for more
than 30 minutes and the leaving fluid temperature is greater
than the saturated condensing temperature, the wear factor is
still used to determine which compressor to start next. If the
leaving fluid temperature is less than the saturat ed condensing
temperature, then the control will start either compressor A1 or
compressor B1 first, depending on the user-configurable circuit
lead-lag value.
The TXVs will provide a controlled start-up. During startup, the low pressure logic will be bypa ssed for 2
1
/2 minutes to
allow for the transient changes during start-up. As additional
stages of compression are required, the processor control will
add them. See Table 6 and 7.
If a circuit is to be stopped, the compressor with t he lowe st
wear factor will be shut off first in most cases. Certain override
conditions may shut off the smaller of two compressors on a
circuit first.
The capacity control algorithm runs every 30 seconds. The
algorithm attempts to main tain the Control Point at the desired
set point. Each time it runs, the control reads the entering and
leaving fluid temperatures. The control determines t he rate at
which conditions are changing and calculates 2 variables based
on these conditions. Next, a capacity ratio is calcul ated using
the 2 variables to determine whether or not to make any
changes to the current stages of capacity. This ratio value
ranges from –100 to +100%. If the next stage of capacity is a
compressor, the control starts (stops) a compressor when the
ratio reaches +100% (–100%). If installed, the minimum load
valve solenoid will be energized with the first stage of capacity.
Minimum load valve value is a fixed 30% in the total capacity
calculation. The control will also use the minimum load valve
solenoid as the last stage of capacity before turning off the last
compressor. If the close control feature (CLS.C) [Configuration, OPT2] is enabled the control will use the minimum load
valve solenoid whenever possible to fine tune leaving fluid
temperature control. A delay of 90 seconds occurs after each
capacity step change. Refer to Tables 6 and 7.

MINUTES LEFT FOR START — This value is displayed
only in the network display tables (using Service Tool,
ComfortVIEW™ or ComfortWORKS® software) and
represents the amount of time to elapse before the unit will start
its initialization routine. This value can be zero without the
machine running in many situations. This can include being
unoccupied, ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE CONTACT switch in
the OFF position, SCN not allowing unit to start, Demand
Limit in effect, no call for cooling due to no load, and alarm or
alert conditions present. If the machine should be running and
none of the above are true, a minimum off time (DELY, see
below) may be in effect. The machine should start normally
once the time limit has expired.
MINUTES OFF TIME (DELY) [Configuration OPT2] —
This user-configurable time period is used by the control to
determine how long unit operation is delayed a fter power is
applied/restored to the unit. Typically, this time pe riod is configured when multiple machines are located on a single site.
For example, this gives the user the abilit y to prevent all the
units from restarting at once after a power failure. A value of
zero for this variable does not mean that the unit should be
running.
LEAD/LAG DETERMINATION — This is a configurable
choice and is factory set to be automatic for all units. The value
can be changed to Circuit A or Circuit B leading as desired. Set
at automatic, the control will sum the current number of logged
circuit starts and one-quarter of the current operating hours for
each circuit. The circuit with the lowest sum is started first.
Changes to which circuit is the lead circuit and which is the lag
are also made when total machine capacity is at 100% or when
there is a change in the direction of capacity (increase or
decrease) and each circuit’s capacity is equal.
CAP ACITY CONTROL OVERRIDES — The following overrides will modify the normal operation of the routine.
Deadband Multiplier
— The user configurable Deadband
Multiplier (Z.GN) [Configuration, SLCT] has a default value
of 1.0. The range is from 1.0 to 4.0. When set to other than 1.0,
this factor is applied to the capacity Load/Unload Factor. The
larger this value is set, the longer the control will delay between
adding or removing stages of capacity. Figure 12 shows how
compressor starts can be reduced over time if the leaving water
temperature is allowed to drift a larger amount above and below the set point. This value should be set in the range of 3.0 to
4.0 for systems with small loop volumes.
First Stage Override
— If the current capa city stage is zero,
the control will modify the routine with a 1.2 fac tor on adding
the first stage to reduce cycling. This factor is also applied
when the control is attempting to remove the last stage of
capacity.
Slow Change Override
— The control prevents the capacity
stages from being changed when the leaving fluid temperature
is close to the set point (within an adjustable deadband) and
moving towards the set point.
Ramp Loading
(CRMP) [Configuration, SLCT] — Limits the
rate of change of leaving fluid temperature. If the unit is in a
Cooling mode and configured for Ramp Loading, the control
makes 2 comparisons before deciding to change stages of capacity. The control calculates a temperature difference between
the control point and leaving fluid temperature. If the difference is greater than 4 °F (2.2 °C) and the rate of change (°F or
°C per minute) is more than the configured Cooling Ramp
Loading value (CRMP), the control does not allow any changes to the current stage of capacity.
Low Entering Fluid Temperature Unloading
— When the
entering fluid temperature is below the control point, the
control will attempt to remove 25% of the current stages being
used. If exactly 25% cannot be removed, the control removes
an amount greater than 25% but no more than necessary. The
lowest stage will not be removed.
Minimum Load Control
— If equipped, the minimum load
control valve is energized only when one compressor in the
circuit is running. If the close control feature is enabled the
minimum load control valve may be used as needed to obtain
leaving fluid temperature close to set point.
Cooler Freeze Protection
— The control will try to prevent
shutting the chiller down on a Cooler Freeze Protection ala rm
by removing stages of capacity. If the cooler fluid selected
is Water, the freeze point is 34 F (1.1 C). If the cooler fluid
selected is Brine, the freeze point is the Brine freeze Point
(BR.FZ) [Set Points, FRZ]. This alarm condition (A207) only
references leaving fluid temperature and NOT Brine Freeze
point. If the cooler leaving fluid temperature i s less than the
freeze point plus 2.0° F (1.1° C), the control will immediately
remove one stage of capacity. This can be repeated once every
30 seconds.
Low Saturated Suction Protection
— The control will try to
prevent shutting a circuit down due to low saturated suction
conditions by removing stages of capacity. These circuit alert
conditions (T116, T117) compare saturated suction temperature to the configured Brine Freeze point (BR.FZ) [Set Points,
FRZ]. The Brine Freeze point is a user-configurable value that
must be left at 34 F (1.1 C) for 100% wate r sys tems. A lower
value may be entered for systems with brine solutions, but this
value should be set according to the freeze protection level of
the brine mixture. Failure to properly set this brine freeze point
value may permanently damage the brazed plate heat exchanger. The control will initiate Mode 7 (Circuit A) or Mode 8 (Circuit B) to indicate a circuit’s capacity is limited and that eventually the circuit may shut down.

saturated condensing and saturated suction temperatures so
that the compressor(s) is (are) always operating within the
manufacturer's specified envelope (see Fig. 13). The control
will automatically reduce the unit capacity as the saturated
condensing temperature approaches an upper limit. The
control will indicate through an alert that a high ambient
unloading mode is in effect. If the saturated condensing
temperature in a circuit exceeds the calculat ed maximum, the
circuit will be stopped. For these reasons, there are no head
pressure control methods or set points to enter. If the saturated
condensing temperature in a circuit is greater than or e qual to
95 F (35 C) at start-up, all available condenser fans will be
started to prevent excessive discharge pressure during
pull-down. The control will turn off a fan stage when the
condensing temperature has been below the calculated head
pressure set point by 35 F (19.4 C) for more than 2 minutes.
Fan sequences are shown in Fig. 14.
MOTORMASTER® V OPTION — For low-ambient operation, the lead fan on a circuit can be equipped with the
Motormaster V head pressure controller option or accessory.
The control will automatically raise the head pressure set point
by 5 F (2.8 C) when Motormaster control is configured. The
controller is energized with the first fan stage and adjusts fan
speed to maintain a liquid pressure of 135 psig (931 kPa). For
sizes 010-018 and Circuit B of sizes 032-040, the two-speed
fan is wired for high speed operation and the Motormaster V
controller adjusts fan speed. For size 022-030, 042-055 and
circuit A of the 032-040 sizes, the lead fan (A1 or B1) in the
circuit is controlled. Refer to Fig. 14 for condenser fan staging

Operation of Machine Based on Control
Method and Cooling Set Point Selection Settings —
configuration of the control method (CTRL) [Configuration,
OPT2] and cooling set point select (CLSP) [Configuration,
SLCT] variables. All models are factory confi gured with cooling set point select set to 1 (single set point, CSP1). With the
control method set to 0, simply switching the Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch to the Enable or Remote Contact position
(external contacts closed) will put the chiller in an occupied
state. The control mode [Operating Modes, MODE] will be 1
(OFF LOCAL) when the sw itch is Off an d wi ll be 5 (O N LOCAL) when in the Enable position or Remote Contact position
with exte rn al cont ac ts clo se d.
Two other control methods are avai lable for Machine On/
Off control:
OCCUPANCY SCHEDULE (CTRL=2) — The Main Base
Board will use the operating schedules as defined under the
Time Clock mode in the Marquee display. These schedules are
identical. The schedule number must be set to 1 for local
schedule.
The schedule number can be set anywhere from 65 t o 99
for operation under a SCN global schedule. The Enable/Off/
Remote Contact must be in the Enable or Remote Contact position. The control mode [Operating Modes, MODE] will be 1
when the switch is Off. The control mode will be 3 when the
Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch input is On and the time of
day is during an unoccupied period. Similarly, the control
mode will be 7 when the time of day is during an occupied
period.
SCN SCHEDULE (CTRL=3) — An external SCN device
such as Flotronic™ System Manager controls the On/Off state
of the machine. This SCN device forces the variable
‘CHIL_S_S’ between Start/Stop to control the chiller. The
control mode [Operating Modes, MODE] will be 1 when the
switch is Off. The control mode will be 2 when the Enable/Off/
Remote Contact switch input is On and the CHIL_S_S variable
is ‘Stop.’ Similarly, the control mode will be 6 when the
CHIL_S_S variable is ‘Start.’
Machine On/Off control is determined by the
Table 8 illustrates how the control method and cooling set
point select variables direct the operation of the chiller and the
set point to which it controls. The illustration also shows the
ON/OFF stat e of th e ma chi ne fo r t he gi ven co mbin at ions .
Cooling Set Point Select
SING LE — Unit operation is based on Cooling Set Point 1
(CSP1) [Set Point, COOL].
DUAL SWITCH — Unit operation is based on Cooling Set
Point 1 (CSP1) [Set Po int, COOL] when the Dual Set Point
switch contacts are open and Cooling Set Point 2 (CSP2)
[Set Point, COOL] when they are closed.
DUAL SCN OCCUPIED — Unit operation is based on
Cooling Set Point 1 (CSP1) [Set Point, COOL] during the
Occupied mode and Cooling Set Point 2 (CSP2) [Set Point,
COOL] during the Unoccupied mode as configured under the
local occupancy schedule accessible only from SCN. Schedule
Number in Table SCHEDOVR (See Appendix A) must be
configured to 1. If the Schedule Number is set to 0, the unit will
operate in a continuous 24-hr Occupied mode. Control method
must be configured to 0 (switch). See Table 8.
4 TO 20 mA INPUT — Unit operation is based on an external
4 to 20 mA signal input to the Energy Management Module
(EMM).
LOW SOUND MODE OPERATION — All models are factory configured with the Low Sound Mode disabled. In the
Configuration mode under sub-mode OPT2, items for low
sound mode select (LS.MD), low sound start time (LS.ST),
low sound end time (LS.ND) and low sound capacity limit
(LS.LT) are factory configured so that the chiller always runs
as quietly as possible. This results in operation at increased
saturated condensing temperature. As a result, some models
may not be able to achieve rated efficiency. For chiller operation at rated efficiency, disable the low sound mode or adjust
the low sound mode start and stop times accordingly or set both
times to 00:00 for rated efficiency operation 24 hours per day.
In addition, the low sound capacity limit can be used to reduce
overall chiller capacity, if required, by limiting the maximum to
a user-configured percentage.

HEATING OPERATION — The chiller can be used for
pump outputs or optional factory-installed hydronic system
operation can be utilized for heating applications. The heating
mode is activated when the control sees a field-supplied closed
switch input to terminal block TB5-7,8. The control locks out
cooling when the heat relay input is seen. A field-supplied
boiler relay connection is made using heat relay and alarm
relay contacts. Factory-installed ‘BOILER’ connections exist
in the control panel near TB5 for these applications. Alarms
and alerts A189 through A202 are active during heating
operation.

Optional Factory-Installed Hydronic Package —
If the chiller has factory-installed chilled fluid pumps, specific
steps should be followed for proper operation.
The pump(s) in the hydronic package come factory
pre-wired into the main unit power supply/starter. In order to
check proper pump rotation, use the Service Test function to
test the condenser fans and observe them for proper rotation
(counter clockwise when viewed from the top). If fans turn
correctly, the pumps will rotate corr ectly. Clockwise rotation of
the pump motor cooling fans can also be used to determine that
pumps are rotating correctly.
Operation of pump in wrong direction, even for a few
seconds, can cause irreversible damage t o pump impeller
and housing. Always verify correct wiring/pump rotation
before operation.
Use Service T est function to test operation of pumps. Verify
that the flow switch input is made when the pump is running.
For dual pump hydronic systems, the control only uses one
pump at a time. Consult the Installation Instructions supplied
with this chiller and use the circuit setter balancing valve
installed in hydronic package to adjust fluid flow rate.
Cooler Pump Control —
chines equipped with a factory installed pump package are
configured with the Cooler Pump Control (CPC) [Configuration, OPT1] ON.
Machines not equipped with a pump package are configured with the cooler pump control OFF. It is recommended that
the machine control the chilled water pump. If not, a 5-minute
time delay is required after the command to shut the machine
down is sent before the chilled water pump is turned off. This is
required to maintain water flow during the shutdown period of
the machine.
With or without this option enabled, the cooler pump relay
will be energized when the mac hine enters an ON status (i.e.,
On Local, On SCN, On Time). An A207 - Cooler Freeze
Protection Alarm, will energize the cooler pump relay also, as
an override. The cooler pump relay will remain energized if the
machine is in MODE 10 – Minimum Off Time.
Cooler Pump Sequence of Operation —
time the unit is in an ON status, as defined by the one of the
following conditions, the cooler pump relay will be enabled.
1. The Enable-Off-Remote Switch in ENABLE,
(CTRL=0).
2. Enable-Off-Remote Switch in REMOTE with a
Start-Stop remote contact closure, (CTRL=0).
3. An Occupied Time Period from an Occupancy Schedule
in combination with items 1 or 2, (CTRL=2).
4. A SCN Start-Stop Command to Start in combination
with items 1 or 2, (CTRL=3).
As stated before, there are certain alarm conditions and
Operating Modes that will turn the cooler pump relay ON. This
sequence will describe the normal operation of the pump
control algorithm.
When the unit cycles from an “On” state to an “ Off” state,
the cooler pump output will remain energized for the Cooler
Pump Shutdown Delay (PM.DY) [Configuration, OPT1]. This
is configurable from 0 to 10 minutes. The factory default is 1
minute. If the pump output was deenergized during the transition period, the pump output will not be energized.
NO INTEGRAL PUMP — SINGLE EXTERNAL PUMP
CONTROL — With a single external pump, the following
options must be configured:
The maximum load allowed for the Chilled Water Pump
Starter is 5 VA sealed, 10 VA inrush at 24 volts. The starter coil
is powered from the chiller control system. The starter s hould
be wired between TB5-11 and TB5-13. If equipped, the fieldinstalled chilled water pump starter auxiliary contacts should
be connected in series with the chilled water flow switch.
The Cooler Pump Relay will be energized when the
machine is “On.” The chilled water pump interlock circuit
consists of a chilled water flow switch and a field-installed
chilled water pump interlock. If the chilled water pump interlock circuit does not close within five (5) minutes of starting,
an A200 — Cooler Flow/Interlock failed to close at Start-Up
alarm will be generated and chiller will not be allowed to start.
If the chilled water pump in terlock or chilled water flow
switch opens for at least three (3) seconds after initially being
closed, an A201 — Cooler Flow/Interlock Contacts Opened
During Normal Operation Alarm will be generated and the machine will stop.
NO INTEGRAL PUMP — DUAL EXTERNAL PUMP
CONTROL — With two external pumps, the following
options must be configured:
• Cooler Pump Control (CPC) [Configuration, OPT1] ON.
The maximum load allowed for the Chilled Water Pump
Starters is 5 VA sealed, 10 VA inrush at 24 volts. The st arter
coil is powered from the chiller control system. The starter for
Chilled Water Pump 1 should be wired between TB5-11 and
TB5-13. The starter for Chilled W ater Pump 2 shoul d be wired
between TB5-15 and TB5-13. A field-installed chille d water
pump interlock for each pump must be connected to each
pump’s interlock points on the Main Base Board. The Chilled
Water Pump 1 Interlock, CWP1, must be connected to MBBJ7-1 and –2. The Chilled W ater Pump 2 Interlock, CWP2, must
be connected to MBB-J7-3 and –4. The chilled water pump
interlock contacts should be rated for dry circuit application
capable of handling 5 vdc at 2 mA.
SINGLE INTEGRAL PUMP CONTROL — With a single
pump, the following options must be configured:
• Cooler Pump Control (CPC) [Configuration, OPT1] ON.
With a single integral pump, the Cooler Pump Starter will
be energized when the machine is occupied. As part of the
factory-installed package, an auxiliary set of contacts is wired
to the MBB to se rve as Chilled Water Pump Interlock. W hen
the mechanical cooling is called for, the pump interlock and
flow switch is checked. If the circuits are c losed, the machine
starts its capacity routine. If the auxiliary contact interlock does
not close within 25 seconds of the ON command, a T190 —
Cooler Pump 1 Aux Contacts Failed to Close at Start-Up Alert
will be generated and the pump shut down. The unit will not
be allowed to start. If the chilled water flow switch does not
close within one (1) minute, two alarms will be generated. A
T192 — Cooler Pump 1 Failed to Provide Flow at Start-Up
Alert and an A200 – Cooler Flow/Interlock failed to close at
Start-Up will be generated and chiller will not be allowed to
start.
If the chilled water flow switch opens for at least 3 seconds
after initially being closed, a T196 — Flow Lost While Pump 1
Running Alert and an A201 — Cooler Flow/Interlock Contacts
24
Opened During Normal Operation Alarm will be generated
and the machine will stop.
If the control detects the chilled water pump interlock open
for 25 seconds after initially being closed, a T194 — Cooler
Pump 1 Contacts Opened Duri ng Normal Operation Alert is
generated and the unit is shut down.
If the control detects the chilled water flow switch circuit
closed for at least 5 minutes with the pump output OFF, an
A202 — Cooler Pump Interlock Closed When Pump is Off
Alarm will be generated and the unit will not be allowed to
start.
If the control detects that the chilled water pump auxiliary
contacts are closed for at least 25 seconds while the pump is
OFF, a T198 — Cooler Pump 1 Aux Contacts Closed While
Pump Off A l e r t i s generated. The ch il le r will not be allowe d to
start.
If the control starts a pump and the wrong interlock circuit
closes for at least 20 seconds, an A189 — Cooler Pump and
Aux Contact Input Miswire Alarm will be generated. The unit
will be prevented from starting.
As part of a pump maintenance routine, the pump can be
started to maintain lubrication of the pump seal. To utilize this
function, Cooler Pmp Periodic Start (PM.P.S) [Configuration,
UNIT] must be se t to YES. This option i s se t to N O a s th e f a ctory default. With this feature enabled, if the pump is not operating, it will be started and operated for 2 seconds starting at
14:00 hours. If the pump is operating, this routine is skipped. If
the pump has failed and an Alarm/Alert condition is active, the
pump will not start that day.
DUAL INTEGRAL PUMP CONTROL — With a dual integral pump package, the following options must be configured:
• Cooler Pump Control (CPC) [Configuration, OPT1] ON.
Pump Start Selection is a field-configurable choice. Cooler
Pump Select (PM.SL) [Configuration, UNIT] is factory defaulted to 0 (Automatic). This value can be changed to 1 (Pump
1 Starts First) or 2 (Pump 2 Starts First). If PM.SL is 0 (Automatic), the pump selection is based on two cri teria: the alert
status of a pump and the operational hours on the pump. If a
pump has an active Alert condition, it will not be considered
for the lead pump. The pump with the lowest operational hours
will be the lead pump. A pump is selected by the control to start
and continues to be the lead pump until the Pump Changeover
Hours (PM.DT) [Configuration, UNIT] is reached. The Lead
Pump (LD.PM) [Run Status, VIEW] indicates the pump that
has been selected as the lead pump: 1 (Pump 1), 2 (Pump 2), 3
(No Pump). The Pump Changeover Hours is factory defaulted
to 500 hours. Regardless of the Cooler Pump Selection, any
pump that has an active alert will not be allowed to start.
With the dual integral pump package, the Cooler Pump
Starter will be energized when the machine is in an occupied
period. As part of the factory-installed package, an au xiliary set
of contacts is wired to the MBB to serve as Chilled Water Pump
Interlock, one set for each pump to individual channels on the
MBB. With a call for mechanical cooling, the specific pump
interlock and flow switch are checked. If the circuits are closed,
the machine starts its capacity routine. If Pump 1 starts and the
auxiliary contact interlock does not close within 25 seconds of
the ON command, a T190 – Cooler Pump 1 Aux Contacts
Failed to Close at Start-Up Alert will be generated and the
pump shut down. The unit will not be allowed to start. If the
chilled water flow switch does not close with in 1 minute, two
alarms will be generated. A T192 – Cooler Pump 1 Failed to
Provide Flow at Start-Up Alert and an A200 – Cooler Flow/
Interlock failed to close at Start-Up will be generated and chiller
will not be allowed to start. In either fault ca se listed above,
Pump 2 will be commanded to start once Pump 1 has fail ed.
If Pump 2 starts and the auxiliary contact interlock does
not close within 25 seconds of the ON command, a T191 —
Cooler Pump 2 Aux Contacts Failed to Close at Start-Up Alert
will be generated and the pump shut down. The unit will not be
allowed to start. If the chilled water flow switch does not close
within one (1) minute, two alarms will be genera ted. A T193
— Cooler Pump 2 Failed to Provide Flow at Start-Up Alert and
an A200 – Cooler Flow/Interlock failed to close at Start-Up
will be generated and chiller will not be allowed to start. In
either fault case listed above, Pump 1 will be commanded to
start once Pump 2 has failed.
If the chilled water flow switch opens for at least 3 seconds
after initially being closed, a T196 — Flow Lost While Pump 1
Running Alert or T197 — Flow Lost While Pump 2 Running
Alert for the appropriate pump and an A201 — Cooler Flow/
Interlock Contacts Opened During Normal Operation Alarm
will be generated and the machine will stop. If ava ilable, the
other pump will be started. If flow is proven, the machine will
be allowed to restart.
If the chilled water pump interlock opens for 25 seconds
after initially being closed is detected by the control, the appropriate T194 – Cooler Pump 1 Contacts Opened During Normal
Operation Alert or T195 – Cooler Pump 2 Contacts Opened
During Normal Operation Alert is generated and the unit is
shut down. If available, the other pump will be started. If flow
is proven, the machine will be allowed to restart.
If the control detects that the chilled water flow switch
circuit is closed for at least 5 minutes wi th the pump output
OFF, an A202 – Cooler Pump Interlock Closed When Pump is
Off Alarm will be generated and the unit will not be allowed to
start.
If the control detects that the chilled water pump auxiliary
contacts are closed for at least 25 seconds while the pump is
OFF, the appropriate T198 – Cooler Pump 1 Aux Contacts
Closed While Pump Off or Alert T199 – Cooler Pump 2 Aux
Contacts Closed While Pump Off Alert is generated. The
chiller will not b e al lowe d to st art .
If the control starts a pump and the wrong inte rlock circuit
closes for at least 20 seconds, an A189 – Cooler Pump and Aux
Contact Input Miswire Alarm will be generated. The unit will
be prevented from starting.
The control will allow for pump changeover. Tw o methods
will change the pump sequence. Before the changeover can
occur, the unit must be at Capacity Stage 0. During changeover
the chilled water flow switch input is ignored for 10 seconds to
avoid a nuisance alarm.
With Cooler Pump Select (PM.SL) [Configuration, UNIT]
set to 0 (Automatic) and when the differential time limit Pump
Changeover Hours (PM.DT) [Configurat ion, UNIT] is reache d,
the lead pump will be turned OF F. Approximately one (1) second later, the lag pump will start. Manual changeover can be accomplished by changing Rotate Cooler Pump Now (ROT.P)
[Configuration, UNIT] to YES only if the machine is at Capacity Stage 0 and the differential time limit Pump Changeover
Hours (PM.DT) [Configuration, UNIT] is reached. If the
PM.DT is not satisfied, the changeover will not occur. With the
machine at Capacity Stage 0, the pumps would rotate automatically as part of the normal routine.
With Cooler Pump Select (PM.SL) [Configuration, UNIT]
set to 1 (Pump 1 Starts First) or 2 (Pump 2 Starts First), a manual
changeover can be accomplished by changing PM.SL only. The
machine Rem ote-Off-Enable S witch must be in the OFF pos ition to change this variable. The Rotate Cooler Pump Now
(ROT.P) [Configuration, UNIT] feature does not work for these
configuration options.

As part of a pump maintenance routine, the pumps can be
*Depending on piping sizes, use either:
• HH79NZ014 sensor/10HB50106801 well (3-in. sensor/well)
• HH79NZ029 sensor/10HB50106802 well (4-in. sensor/well)

started to maintain lubrication to the pump seal. To utilize this
function, Cooler Pmp Periodic Start (PM.P.S) [Configuration,
UNIT] must be se t to YES. This option i s se t to N O a s th e f a ctory default. If feature is enabled and the pump(s) are not
operating, then the pumps will be operated every other day for
2 seconds starting at 14:00 hours. If a pump has failed and has
an active Alert condition, it will not be started that day .
Configuring and Operating Dual Chiller Control —
two units supplying chilled fluid on a common loop. This
control algorithm is designed for parallel fluid flow arrangement
only. One chiller must be configured as the master chiller, the
other as the slave. An additional leaving fluid temperature
thermistor (Dual Chiller LWT) must be installed as shown in
Fig. 17 and connected to the master chiller. Refer to Sensors section, page 4, for wiring. The SCN communication bus must be
connected between the two chillers. Connections can be made
to the SCN screw terminals on TB3. Refer to Sterlco Comfort
Network Interface section, page 3, for wiring inf ormation.
example the master chiller will be confi gured at address 1 and
the slave chiller at address 2. The master and slave chillers
must reside on the same SCN bus (SCNB) but cannot have the
same SCN address (SCNA) [Configuration, OPT2]. Both
master and slave chillers must have Lead/Lag Chiller Enable
(LLEN) [Configuration, RSET] configured to ENBL. Master/
Slave Select (MSSL) [Configuration, RSET] must be configured to MAST for the mast er chiller and SLVE for the slave.
Also in this example, the m aster chiller will be configured t o
use Lead/Lag Balance Select (LLBL ) and Lead/Lag Balance
Delta (LLBD) [Configuration, RSET] to even out the chiller
run-times weekly. The Lag Start Delay (LLDY) [Configuration, RSET] feature will be set to 10 minutes. This will prevent
the lag chil ler from starting u ntil the lead ch iller has been at
100% capacity for the length of the delay time. Parallel configuration (PARA) [Configuration, RSET] can only be configured to YES. The variables LLBL, LLBD and LLDY are not
used by the slave chiller.

Dual chiller start/stop control is determined by configuration of Control Method (CTRL) [Configuration, OPT2] of the
Master chiller. The Slave chiller should always be configured
for CTRL=0, Switch. If the chillers are to be controlled by
Remote Contacts, both Master and Slave chillers should be
enabled together. Two separate relays or one relay with
two sets of contacts may control the chiller s. The Enable/Off/
Remote Contact switch should be in the Remote Contact
position on both the Master and Slave chillers. The Enable/Off/
Remote Contact switch should be in the Enable position for
CTRL=2, Occupancy or CTRL=3, SCN Control.
Both chillers will stop if the Master chiller Enable/Off/
Remote Contact switch is in the Off position. If the Emergency
Stop switch is turned off or an alarm is generated on the Master
chiller the Slave chiller will opera te in a Stand-Alone mode.
If the Emergency Stop switch is turned off or an alarm is
generated on the Slave chille r th e M a ste r c h il ler will operate in
a Stand-Alone mode.
The master chiller controls the sla ve chiller by changi ng its
Control Mode (STAT) [Run Status, VIEW] and its operating
setpoint or Control Point (CTPT) [Run Status, VIEW].
