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.

with ComfortLink™ Controls
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.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

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
Page 4
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.

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
information. Refer to Fig. 15 for typical pressure transducer

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
Page 25
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.

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].

The control system is capable of
handling leaving-fluid temperature reset based on return cooler
fluid temperature. Because the change in temperat ure through
the cooler is a measure of the building load, the return temperature reset is in effect an average building lo ad reset method.
The control system is also capable of temperature res et based
on outdoor-air temperature (OAT), space temperature (SPT), or
from an externally powered 4 to 20 mA signal. Accessory sensors must be used for SPT reset (33ZCT55SPT). The Energy
Management Module (EMM) must be used for temperature
reset using a 4 to 20 mA signal. See Tables 25A and 25B.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when interfacing with
other control systems due to possible power supply differences: full wave bridge versus half wave rectification. Connection of control devices with different power supplies
may result in permanent damage. ComfortLink™ controls
incorporate power supplies with half wave rectification. A
signal isolation device should be utilized if the signal generator incorporates a full wave bridge rectifier.
To use Outdoor Air or Space Temperature reset, four variables must be configured. In the Configuration mode under the
sub-mode RSET, items CRST, RM.NO, RM.F and RT.DG
must be properly set. See Table 26A — Configuring Outdoor
Air and Space Temperature Reset. The outdoor air reset example provides 0° F (0° C) chilled water set point reset at 85.0 F
(29.4 C) outdoor-air temperature and 15.0 F (8.3 C) reset at
55.0 F (12.8 C) outdoor-air temperature. The space temperature reset example provides 0° F (0° C) chilled water set point
reset at 72.0 F (22.2 C) space temperature and 6.0 F (3.3 C)
reset at 68.0 F (20.0 C) space temperature. The variable CRST
should be configured for the type of reset desired. The variable
RM.NO should be set to the temperature tha t no reset should
occur. The variable RM.F should be set to the temperature that
maximum reset is to occur. The variable RM.DG should be set
to the maximum amount of reset desired.
To use Return reset, four variables must be configured. In
the Configuration mode under the sub-mode RSET, items
CRST, RT.NO, RT.F and RT.DG must be properly set. See
T able 26B — Configuring Return Temperature Reset. This example provides 5.0 F (2.8 C) chilled water set point reset at

cooler ∆T. The variable RT.NO should be set to the cooler
temperature difference (∆T) where no chilled water temperature reset should occur. The variable RT.F should be set to the
cooler temperature difference where the maximum chilled water temperature reset should occur. The variable RM.DG
should be set to the maximum amount of reset desired.
To verify that reset is functioning correctly proceed to Run
Status mode, sub-mode VIEW , and subtract the active set point
(SETP) from the control point (CTPT) to determine the degrees
reset.
Under normal operation, the chiller will maintain a constant
leaving fluid temperature approximately equal to the chilled
fluid set point. As the cooler load varies, the entering cooler
fluid will change in proportion to the load as shown in Fig. 18.
Usually the chiller size and leaving-fluid temperature set point
are selected based on a full-load condition. At part load, the fluid temperature set point may be colder than required. If the
leaving fluid temperature was allowed to increase at part load,
the efficiency of the machine would increase.
Return temperature reset allows for the leaving temperature
set point to be reset upward as a function of the return fluid
temperature or, in effect, the building load.
Figures 19 and 20 are examples of outdoor air and space
temperature resets.

Demand Limit —
the unit capacity to be limited during periods of peak energy usage. There are 3 types of demand limiting that can be configured. The first type is through 2-stage switch control, which will
Demand Limit is a feature that allows
reduce the maximum capacity to 2 user-configurable percentages. The second type is by 4 to 20 mA signal input which will reduce the maximum capacity linearly between 100% at a 4 mA
input signal (no reduction) down to the u ser-configurable lev el
at a 20 mA input signal. The third type uses the CNN Loadshed
module and has the ability to limit the current operating capacity to maximum and further reduce the cap acity if required .
NOTE: The 2-stage switch control and 4- to 20-mA input signal types of demand limiting require the Energy Management
Module (EMM).
T o use D emand Limit, select the type of demand limiting to
use. Then configure the Demand Limit set points based on the
type selected.
DEMAND LIMIT (2-Stage Switch Controlled) — To configure Demand Limit for 2-stage switch control set the Demand
Limit Select (DMDC) [Configuration, RSET] to 1. Then
configure the 2 Demand Limit Switch points (DLS1 and DLS2)
[Configuration, RSET] to the desired capacity limit. See
T able 27. Capacity steps are controlled by 2 relay switch inputs
field wired to TB6 as shown in Fig. 4-6.
For Demand Limit by 2-stage switch control, closing the
first stage demand limit contact will put the unit on the first demand limit level. The unit will not exceed the percentage of capacity entered as Demand Limit Switch 1 set point. Closing
contacts on the second demand limit switch prevents the unit
from exceeding the capacity entered as Dem and Limit Swit ch
2 set point. The demand limit stage that is set to the lowest demand takes priority if both demand limit inputs are closed. If
the demand limit percentage does not match unit staging, th e
unit will li mit cap aci ty to the clo ses t ca pa city sta ge.
To disable demand limit configure the DMDC to 0. See
Table 27.
EXTERNALLY POWERED DEMAND LIMIT (4 to
20 mA Controlled) — To configure Demand Limit for 4 to 20
mA control set the Demand Limit Select (DMDC) [Configuration, RSET] to 2. Then configure the Demand Limit at 20 mA
(DM20) [Configuration, RSET] to the maximum loadshed value desired. Connect the output from an externally powered 4 to
20 mA signal to terminal block TB6, terminals 1 and 5. Refer
to the unit wiring diagram for these connections to the optional/
accessory Energy Management Module and terminal block.
The control will reduce allowable capacity t o this level for the
20 mA signal. See Table 27 and Fig. 21A.

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.
DEMAND LIMIT (SCN Loadshed Controlled) — To configure Demand Limit for SCN Loadshed control set the Demand Limit Select (DMDC) [Configuration, RSET] to 3. Then
configure the Loadshed Group Number (SHNM), Loadshed
Demand Delta (SHDL), and Maximum Loadshed Time
(SHTM) [Configuration, RSET]. See Table 27.
The Loadshed Group number is established by the SCN
system designer. The ComfortLink control will respond to a
Redline command from the Loadshed control. When the

Redline command is received, the current stage of capacity is
set to the maximum stages available. Should the loadshed control send a Loadshed command, the ComfortLink control will
reduce the current stages by the value entered for Loadshed
Demand delta. The Maximum Loadshed Time is the maximum
length of time that a loadshed condition is allowed to exist. The
control will disable the Redline/Loadshed command if no Cancel command has been received within the configured maximum loadshed time limit.
Cooling Set Point (4 to 20 mA) —
A field supplied
and generated, externally powered 4 to 20 mA signal can be
used to provide the leaving fluid temperature set point. Connect
the signal to TB6-3,5 (+,–). See Table 27 for instructions to
enable the function. Figure 21B shows how the 4 to 20 mA signal is linearly calculated on an overall 10 F to 80 F range for
fluid types (FLUD) 1 or 2 [Configuration, OP T1]. The set point
will be limited by the fluid (FLUD) type. Be sure that the
chilled water loop is protected at the lowest temperature.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Complete Unit Stoppage and Restart —
ble causes for unit stoppage and reset methods are shown below. (See Table 28 also.) Refer to Fig. 22-26 for Component
Arrangement and Control Wiring Diagrams.
GENERAL POWER FAILURE — Af ter power is restored,
restart is automatic through normal MBB start-up.
UNIT ENABLE-OFF-REMOTE CONTACT SWITCH IS
OFF — When the switch is OFF, the unit will stop immediately. Place the switch in the ENA BLE position fo r local swit ch
control or in the REMOTE CONTACT position for control
through remote contact closure.
CHILLED FLUID PROOF-OF-FLOW SWITCH OPEN —
After the problem causing the loss of flow has been corrected,
reset is manual by resetting the al arm with the Scrolling Mar quee as shown in Table 24.
OPEN HIGH-PRESSURE SWITCH(ES) — Determine and
correct the cause of the failure. The switch automatically resets,
but the unit must be reset manually by resetting the alarm with
the Scrolling Marquee as shown in Table 24.
OPEN COMPRESSOR INTERNAL THERMAL PROTECTION — This switch provides compressor over temperature protection. Determine and correct the cause of the problem. The switc h re se ts auto m a t ic al ly, but the unit must be reset
manually resetting the alarm with the Scrolling Marquee as
shown in T able 24.
Possi-
OPEN 24-V CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER(S) — Determine the cause of the failure and correct. Reset circuit breaker(s). Restart is automatic after MBB start-up cycle is complete.
COOLING LOAD SATISFIED — Unit shuts down when
cooling load has been satisfied. Unit restarts when required t o
satisfy leaving fluid temperature set point.
THERMISTOR FAILURE — If a th er m i stor f a i l s in eit h e r a n
open or shorted condition, the unit will be shut down. Replace
T1, T2, or T9 as required. Unit restarts automatically, but must
be reset manually by resetting the alarm with the Scrolling
Marquee as shown in Table 24.
If unit stoppage occurs more than once as a result of any of
the safety devices listed, determine and correct cause
before attempting another restart.
LOW SATURATED SUCTION — Several conditions can
lead to low saturated suction alarms and the c hiller controls
have several override modes built in which will attempt to keep
the chiller from shutting down. Low fluid flow, low refrigerant
charge and plugged filter driers are the main causes for this
condition. To avoid permanent damage and potential freezing
of the system, do NOT repeatedly reset these alert and/or alarm
conditions without identifying and correcting the cause(s).

CON T R OL CO MPON E NTS — Unit uses an adva nced e lectronic control system that normally does not require service.
For details on controls refer to Operating Data section.
Access to the compressors is through latched panels from
beneath the control box on all models or from opposite the coil
side (sizes 010-030 only). The front door(s) provide access to
the compressor(s) and all components of the refrigeration system. For size 010-030 units, access to the controls is through
the upper latched outer door above the compressor access door.
Similarly , the upper center latched door on sizes 032-055 gives
access to the controls. Inner panels are secured in place and
should not be removed unless all power to the chiller is off.
Compressor Replacement (Refer to Fig. 27-
30) —

BRAZED-PLATE COOLER HEAT EXCHANGER REPLACEMENT — Brazed-plate heat exchangers cannot be
repaired if they develop a leak. If a leak (refrigerant or water)
develops, the heat exchanger must be replaced. To replace a
brazed plate heat exchanger:
1. Disconnect the liquid-in and liquid-out connections at the
heat exchanger.
2. Check that the replacement heat exchanger is the same as
the original heat exchanger. The unit insulation covers the
manufacturer’s part number. Make sure the depths of the
replacement and original cooler he at exchangers are the
same.
3. Reclaim the refrigerant from the system, and unsolder the
refrigerant-in and refrigerant-out connections.
4. Remove the old heat exchanger and the bracket that it is
mounted to. The replacement heat excha nger is supplied
attached to a new mounting bracket and is fully insulated.
It also includes a cooler heater. Use of the heater is not required unless the original cooler contained a factory installed heater.
5. Install the replacement heat exchanger in the unit and attach the mounting bracket hardware to the fan uprights
(sizes 010-030) or to the bottom bracket (sizes 032-055)
using the hardware removed in Step 4. Reconnect the
cooler heater if required.
6. Carefull y braze the refrigerant lines to the connections on
the heat exchanger. Lines should be soldered using silver
as the soldering material with a minimum of 45% silver.
Keep the temperature below 1472 F (800 C) under normal soldering conditions (no vacuum) to prevent the copper solder of the brazed plate heat exchanger from changing its structure. Failure to do so can result in internal
or external leakage at the connections which cannot be repaired.
7. Reconnect the water/brine lines.
8. Dehydrate and recharge the unit. Check for leaks.
BRAZED-PLATE COOLER HEAT EXCHANGER
CLEANING — Brazed-plate heat exchangers must be
cleaned chemically. A professional cleaning service skilled i n
chemical cleaning should be used. Use a weak acid (5% phosphoric acid, or if the heat exch anger is clea ned frequently, 5%
oxalic acid). Pump the cleaning solution through the
exchanger, preferably in a backflush mode. After cleaning,
rinse with large amounts of fresh water to dispose of all the
acid. Cleaning materials must be disposed of properly.
The factory-installed strainer screen in front of the water/
brine inlets of the heat exchangers should be cleaned periodically, depending on condition of the chiller water/brine.

If oil is visible in the compressor sight glass, check unit for
operating readiness as described in Pre-Start-Up, System
Check section (page 74), then start the unit. Observe oil level
and add oil if required, to bring oil level in compressor
crankcase up to between
1
/4 and 3/4 of sight glass during steady
operation.
To Add Oil:
1. Check the oil level with all compressors in the circuit running in a stabilized condition or immediately after compressor shutdown. The oil level should be at
1
/3 of the oil
sight glass immediately after shutdown.
2. Using a suitable pump, add oil while c ompressor(s) are
running through the low side ¼ in. Schraeder fitting on
the compressor. For SM1 10 models, this fitting is directly
above the suction line connection. For all other compressor models, this fitting is near the oil equalization line fitting at the same height as the suction line connection.
3. Run all compressors on the circuit for at least 15 minutes
and check the oil level.
Do not reuse drained oil, and do not use any oil that has
been exposed to the atmosphere.
Condenser Section and Coils
COIL CLEANING — For standard aluminum, copper and
pre-coated aluminum fin coils, clean the coils with a vac uum
cleaner, fresh water, compressed air, or a bristle brush (not
wire). Units installed in corrosive environments should have
coil cleaning as part of a planned maintenance schedule. In this
type of application, all accumulations of dirt should be cleaned
off the coil. When condenser cleaning is complete, enter “Yes”
for coil cleaning maintenance done (CL.MN ) value under Run
Status.
Do not use high-pressure water or air to clean coils — fin
damage may result.
CLEANING E-COATED COILS — Follow the outlined procedure below for proper care, cleaning and maintenance of
E-coated aluminum or copper fin coils:
Coil Maintenance and Cleaning Recommendations
tine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain proper
operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and
removal of harmful residues will greatly increase the life of the
coil and extend the life of the unit.
Remove Surface Loaded Fibers
— Surface loaded fibers or
dirt should be removed with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum
cleaner is not available, a soft brush ma y be used. In either
case, the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil
— Rou-
surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges bent over) if the tool
is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose, against a
surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil.
This will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface loaded
fibers must be completely removed prior to using low velocity
clean water rinse.
Periodic Clean Water Rinse
— A periodic clean water rinse is
very beneficial for coils that are applied in coastal or industrial
environments. However, it is very important that the water
rinse is made with very low velocity water stream to avoid
damaging the fin edges. Monthly cleaning as described below
is recommended.
Routine Cleaning of Coil Surfaces
— Monthly cleaning with
Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner is essential to extend the
life of coils. It is recommended that all coils, including standard aluminum, pre-coated, copper/copper or E-coated coils
are cleaned with the Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner as
described below. Coil cleaning should be part of the units regularly scheduled maintenance procedures to ensure long life of
the coil. Failu re to clean the coil s may result in reduced durability in the environment.
Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner is non-flammable,
hypo allergenic, non-bacterial, USDA accepted biodegradable
and 100% ecologically safe agent that will not harm the coil or
surrounding components such as electrical wiring, painted
metal surfaces or insulation. Use of non-recommended coil
cleaners is strongly discouraged since coil and unit durability
could be affected.
•Although Environmentally Sound Co il Cleaner is harm-
less to humans, animals, and marine life, proper eye pro tection such as safety glasses is recommended during
mixing and application.
•Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacuum
cleaner as described above.
•Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and a
low velocity garden hose being careful not to bend fins.
•Mix Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner in a 2
1
/2 gallon
garden sprayer according to the instructions included
with the Enzyme Cleaner. The optimum solution temperature is 100 F.
NOTE: DO NOT USE
water in excess of 130 F as the enzy-
matic activity will be destroyed.
•Thoroughly apply Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner
solution to all coil surfaces including finned area, tube
sheets and coil headers.
•Hold garden sprayer nozzle close to finned areas and
apply cleaner with a vertical, up-and-down motion.
Avoid spraying in horizontal pattern to minimize potential for fin damage.
•Ensure cleaner thoroughly penetrates deep into finned
areas.
•Interior and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly
cleaned.
•Finned surfaces should remain wet with cleaning solution for 10 minutes.
•Ensure surfaces are not allowed to dry before rinsing.
Reapply cleaner as needed to ensure 10-minute saturation is achieved.

water using downward rinsing motion of water spray
nozzle. Protect fins from damage from the spray nozzle.
Harsh Chemical and Acid Cleaners — Harsh chemical,
household bleach or acid cleaners should not be used to
clean outdoor or indoors coils of any kind. These cleaners
can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion at the fin/tube interface where dissimilar
materials are in contact. If there is dirt below the surface of
the coil, use the Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner as
described above.
High Velocity Water or Compressed Air
— High velocity water from a pressure washer, garden hose or compressed air should never be used to clean a coil. The force
of the water or air jet will bend the fin edges and increase
airside pressure drop. Reduced unit performance or nuisance unit shutdown may occur.
COND E N SE R SE CT I O N — Condenser fan motors and fans
can be serviced by removal of outlet grilles or side panels. See
Fig. 31. Be sure the wire fan guard is in place over each fan before starting unit. See Fig. 32 and 33 for proper fan adjustment.
Fan mounting system is designed for fan to drop all the way on
the motor shaft to be correctly l ocated in the or ifice. Tighten
fan hub securely on motor shaft with setscrews which bear
against the key. Be sure to replace the plastic fa n cap and secure in place with the four locki ng clip s to kee p w ater and debris out of shaft area.
Check Refrigerant Feed Components
THERMOSTATIC EXP ANSION VALVE (TXV) — The TXV
controls the flow of liquid refrigerant to the cooler by maintaining constant superheat of vapor leaving the cooler. There is
one valve per refrigerant circuit. The valve(s) is activated by a
temperature-sensing bulb(s) strapped to the suction line(s). For
proper TXV sensing bulb location, see Fig. 34.
The valve is factory-set to maintain between 8 and 12 F
(4.4 and 6.7 C) of superheat entering the compressor(s). Elevate head pressure to 280 psig (1930 kPa) by blocking the airflow through the condenser. Check the superheat during operation after conditions have stabilized. A factory-installed temperature well is in each suction line for this purpose. If
necessary, adjust the superheat to prevent refrigerant floodback
to the compressor. Adjust TXVs
circuit to stabilize between adjustments. Turn stem counterclockwise to decrease superheat and clockw ise to increase s uperheat.
FILTER DRIER — The function of t he fil ter drier is t o maintain a clean, dry system. The moisture indicator (described
below) indicates any need to ch ange the filter drier. The filter
drier is a sealed-type drier. When the drier needs to be
changed, the entire filter drier must be replaced.
NOTE: Dual circuit (032-055 sizes) units have 1 filter drier per
circuit.
MOISTURE-LIQUID INDICA TOR — The indicator is located
immediately ahead of the TXV to provide an indication of the
refrigerant moisture content. It also provides a sight glass for
refrigerant liquid. Clear flow of liquid refri gerant (at full unitloading) indicates sufficient charge in the system. Bubbles in the
sight glass (at full unit loading) indicate an undercharged system
or the presence of noncondensables. Moisture in t he system,
measured in parts per million (ppm), changes the color of the
indicator as follows:
Green (safe) —Moisture is below 45 ppm
Yellow-Green (caution) — 45 to 130 ppm
Yellow (wet) — above 130 ppm
1
/2 turn at a time, allowing the
The unit must be in operation at le ast 12 hours before the
moisture indicator gives an accurate reading, and must be in
contact with liquid refrigerant. At the fi rst sign of moisture in
the system, change the corresponding filter drier.
NOTE: Dual circuit (032-055 sizes) units have one indicator
per circuit.
MINIMUM LOAD VALVE — On units equipped with the
factory-installed capacity reduction option, a solenoid valve
(minimum load valve) is located between the discharge line
and the cooler entering-refrigerant line. The MBB cycles the
solenoid to perform minimum load valve function.
61

The amount of capacity reduction achieved by the minimum load valve is not adjustable. The total unit capacity with
the minimum load valve is shown in Table 7.
PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES — All units have one pressure relief device per circuit located in the liquid line which relieves at 210 F (100 C).
Compressor and Unit Protective Devices
MANUAL STARTER — There is one manual starter per
compressor in each unit. It protects the compressor(s) against
overloading, locked rotor conditions, and primary single phasing. If the manual starter trips, determine the cause and correct
it before resetting.
Manual starters are factory set; field adjustment should not
be required. Manual starters are also factory installed for each
condenser fan motor and factory-installed chilled water pump.
NOTE: Two-sp eed condenser fan motors on sizes 010-018 and
032-040 have manual starters so that the motor is protected
while running in both low and high speed modes. Refer to
Appendix B for factory settings.
COMPRESSOR INTERNAL TH ERMAL PROTE CTION —
All models include internal compressor protection. Models
using the SM110 compressor (015 50 Hz and 018 60 Hz) have
internal line break overloads. All other compressor models
have internal discharge temperature thermostats that are wir ed
in series with the compressor high pre ssu re swit ch in the co mpressor motor junction box. The thermostat opens and shuts off
the compressor if the discharge gas temperature exceeds 275 F
(135 C). The thermostat will automatically reset when the temperature drops below a preset level, however, the control module will keep the unit locked off until the alert condition is
reset.
Check Unit Safeties
HIGH-PRESSURE SWITCH — A high-pressure switch is
provided to protect each compressor and refrigeration system
from unsafe high pressure conditions. See Table 32 for highpressure switch settings.
The high-pressure switch is mounted in the discharge side
of each compressor. A snubber is provided between the compressor discharge manifold and the high-pressure switch to prevent pressure pulsations from damaging the switch.
The high-pressure switch is mounted in the discharge line of
each compressor. If an unsafe, high-pressure condition should
exist, the switch opens and shuts off the affected compressor.
The compressor feedback signal to J9 of the MBB then opens
causing an alert condition. The MBB prevents the compressor
from restarting until the alert condition is reset. The switch
should open at the pressure corresponding to the appropriate
switch setting as shown in T able 32.

Clear the alarm using the Scrolling Marquee display as described on page 42. The unit should restart after the compressor
anti-short-cycle delay, built into the unit control module,
expires.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS — Each refrigerant circuit is
equipped with a suction and discharge pressure transducer. The
transducers are NOT the same part number. The discharge
pressure transducer is the universal pressure transducer while
the suction pressure transducer is a discrete low pressure transducer. These inputs to the MBB are not only used to monitor
the status of the unit, but to also maintain operation of the chiller within the compressor manufacturer's sp ecified limits. The
input to the MBB from the suction pressure transducer is also
used to protect the compressor from operating at low pressure
conditions. In some cases, the unit may not be able to run at full
capacity. The control module will automatically reduce the capacity of a circuit as needed to maintain s pecified maximum/
minimum operating pressures.

COOLER FREEZE-UP PROTECTION
On medium temperature brine units, the brine must be
properly mixed to prevent freezing at a temperature of at
least 15 F (8.3 C) below the leaving-fluid tem perature set
point. Failure to provide the proper brine mixture is considered abuse and may void the Sterling warranty.
The Main Base Board (MBB) monitors leaving fl uid temperature at all times. The MBB will rapidly remove stages of
capacity as necessary to prevent freezing conditions due to the
rapid loss of load or low cooler fluid flow.
When the cooler is exposed to lower ambient temperatures
(34 F [1° C] or below), freeze-up protection is required using
inhibited ethylene glycol.
HEATER CABLE — Optional factory-installed cooler and/or
hydronic package heaters are cycled based on the input from
the outside-air temperature sensor. These heaters, when installed, are designed to protect the cooler and/or hydronic package from freezing down to –20 F (–29 C). Power for these heaters is supplied from the main unit power.
The input from the low pressure transducer provides a backup cooler freeze protection package. The MBB shuts down the
unit when a low pressure condition exists that could cause the
cooler to freeze up.
Do not disconnect main unit power when servicing compressor(s) if ambient temperature is below 40 F (4.4 C).
Each compressor manual starter has a lockout feature.
Depress the Stop Button and pull the lockout tab from the
start button. Secure lock in place. If power to the unit must
be off for a prolonged period, drain the cooler, hydronic
package (if installed) and internal piping. Add glycol
according to WINTER SHUTDOWN Step 2 below.
WINTER SHUTDOWN — At the end of the cooling season:
1. Drain the water/brine from the cooler, hydronic package
(if installed) and internal piping.
2. Fill the package with at least 2 gallons (7.6 L) of ethylene
glycol or other suitable uninhibited antifreeze solution to
prevent any residual water in the cooler and hydronic
package/piping from freezing.
3. At the beginning of the next cooling season, refill the
cooler and add the recommended inhibitor.
Thermistors —
thermistors to sense temperatures used to control operation of
the chiller. Thermistors T1, T2 and T9 are identical in their
temperature and voltage drop performance. Accessory return
gas thermistors are also 5 kΩ thermistors used to troubleshoot
TXV superheat settings. Thermistor T10 has a 10 kΩ input
channel and has a different set of temperature vs. resistance and
voltage drop performance. Resistance at various temperat ures
are listed in Tables 33-36.
NOTE: For dual chiller operation, the control automatically
configures the T10 input channel to be a 5 kΩ channel. A
HH79NZ014 or HH79NZ029 thermistor should be used for
dual chiller configurations.
Thermistor pin connection points are shown in Table 2. Thermistor T1 is located in a well at the bottom of the brazed plate
heat exchanger for sizes 010-030 and in the leaving fluid piping for sizes 032-055.
Thermistor T2 is located in a we ll at the top of the brazed
plate heat exchanger for sizes 010-030 and in the entering fluid
piping for sizes 032-055. Thermistor T9 is factory installed in
Electronic control uses up to five 5 kΩ
the compressor section behind a panel with a vent plug so that
outside air flows across the sensor tip.
REPLACING THERMISTORS T1 and T2 — Add a small
amount of thermal conductive grease to the thermistor well and
end of probe. Thermistors are friction-fit thermistors, which
must be slipped into receivers in the cooler (010-030) or fluid
piping (032-055). For sizes 032-055, tighten the retaining nut
¼ turn past finger tight. See Fig. 35.
THERMISTOR/TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK — A
high quality digital volt-ohmmeter is required to perform this
check.
1. Connect the digital voltmeter across the appropriate
themistor termi nals at the J8 terminal stri p on the Main
Base Board (see Fig. 36).
2. Using the voltage reading obtained, read the sensor temperature from Tables 33-36.
3. To check thermistor accuracy, measure temperature at
probe location with an accurate thermocouple-type temperature measuring instrument. Insulate thermocouple to
avoid ambient temperatures from influencing reading.
Temperature measured by thermocouple and t emperature
determined from thermistor voltage reading should be
close, ± 5° F (3° C) if care was taken in applying thermocouple and taking readings.
If a more accurate check is required, unit must be shut down
and thermistor removed and checked at a known temperature
(freezing point or boiling point of water) using either voltage
drop measured across thermistor at the J8 terminal, by determining the resistance with chiller shut down and thermistor
disconnected from J8. Compare the values determined with the
value read by the control in the Temperatures mode using the
Scrolling Marquee display.
Pressure Transducers —
sure transducers are installed on each circuit. No pressure
transducer calibration is required. The transducers operate on a
5 vdc supply, which is generated by the Main Base Board
(MBB). See Fig. 36 for transducer connections to the J8 connector on the MBB.
TROUBLESHOOTING — If a transducer is suspected of being faulty, first check the supply voltage to transducer. Supply
voltage should be 5 vdc ± 0.2 v. If supply voltage is correct,
compare pressure reading displayed on the Scrolling Marquee
display module against pressure shown on a calibrated pressure
gauge. Suction pressure should be within ± 2 psig. Discharge
pressure should be within ± 5 psig. If the two readings are not
reasonably close, replace the pressure transducer.
Flow Sensor —
leaving fluid piping of all models. If the unit is equipped with
an optional hydronic system, the flow switch is inside the
pump cabinet. If nuisance trips of the sensor are occurring, follow the steps below to correct the situation:
1. Check to confirm that the factory installed strainer is
clean. Use the blow-down valve provided or remove the
screen and clean it. For the case of VFD controlled
pumps, ensure that the minimum speed setting has not
been changed.
2. Measure the pressure drop across the cooler or cooler/
pump system and compare this to the system requirements.
3. Verify that cable connections at the switch a nd at the te rminal block are secure.
4. For factory-installed hydronic systems, verify that:
• All air has been purged from the system
• Circuit setter balance valve has been correctly set
5. Pump impeller has been improperly trimmed and is not
providing sufficient flow.
6. Wrong pump motor rotation. Pump must rotate clockwise
when viewed from motor end of pump.
Periodic factory-installed strainer cleaning is
required. Pressure drop across strainer in excess of 3 psi
(21 kPa) indicates the need for cleaning. Normal (clean) pressure drop is approximately 1 psi (6.9 kPa). Open the factoryinstalled blowdown valve to clean the strainer. If required, shut
the chiller down and remove the strainer screen to clean. When
strainer has been cleaned, enter ‘YES’ for strainer maintenance
done (S.T .MN) [Run Status, PM].
Motormaster® V Controller —
The optional or accessory Motormaster V controller uses a 0 to 5 vdc signal
input from a pressure transducer attached to the liquid line service valve gage port on each circuit. See Fig. 37. The pressure
transducer is connected to terminals 2, 5 and 6 on the c ontroller. The controller is factory configured and requires no field
programming. If a situation arises where the drive does not
function properly, the information provided below and
T able 37 can be used to troubleshoot the drive.
If input power has not been applied to the drive for a period
of time exceeding three years (due to storage, etc.), the
electrolytic DC bus capacitors within the drive can change
internally, resulting in excessive leakage current. This can
result in premature failure of the capacitors if the drive is
operated after such a long period of inactivity or storage. In
order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for
operation after a long period of inactivity, apply input
power to the drive for 8 hours prior to actually operating
the motor. Before attempting to operate the drive, motor,
and driven equipment, be sure all procedures pertaining to
installation and wiring have been properly followed.
DO NOT connect incoming AC power to output terminals
T1, T2, and T3! Severe damage to the drive will result. Do
not continuously cycle input power to the drive more than
once every two minutes. Damage to the drive will result.
Hazard of electrical shock! Wait three minutes after disconnecting incoming power before servicing drive. Capacitors
retain charge after power is removed. Drive assembly
includes externally mounted current limiting resistors. Use
extreme caution when servicing the drive.
When configured as shown below, this equipment is
designed to start when it receives line power. Ensure that
all personnel are clear of fans and guards are installed
before applying power.
GENE RAL OPERAT ION — This control varies conde nser
fan speed based on liquid pressure. The control is a Vari able
Frequency Drive (VFD) and is only compatible with motors
rated for use with VFDs. The accompanying pressure transducer has a 0 to 5 v output range corresponding to a –40 to 460 psi
range. The VFD provides a 5 v output for the transducer on
pin 6.
This system is a reverse acting, proportional-integral (PI)
control. The VFD will vary the motor speed to drive the l iqui d
line pressure to the set point during ambient temperatures below 60 F. The set point is lower than a normal operating pressure during summer operation. At higher ambient temperatures, the fan will go to full speed (60 Hz or 50 Hz dependi ng
on model) and remain there since it can not go fast enough to
bring the pressure down to the set point. When the VFD is at
full speed, it acts just like a fixed speed fan.
When the ambient air temperature drops, a fan running at
full speed draws too much air across the condenser coil to
maintain a minimum condensing pressure/temperature. In
these conditions, the VFD will slow down and begin to maintain a set point.
The VFD will display the set point as the de fault. The set
point is displayed in speed as Hz and is configured by the start
command jumper as detailed in Fig. 38.
Motormaster V control can also be configured to follow an
external control system to perform the PI control functions. See
configuration section for details.
The real-time feedback signal (liquid line pressure, in volts)
is displayed by viewing parameter 69. The real-time output frequency is displayed by viewing parameter 71.
SET POINTS — Operating modes are configured for R-22
with a set point of 135 psig on the liquid line.
INSTALLATION — See Fig. 38 for transducer wiring to the
VFD.
NOTE: The drive is phase insensitive with respect to incoming
line voltage. This means that the VF D will operate with any
phase sequence of the incoming three-phase voltage.

1. Change P05 to ‘01- keypad’.
2. Push UP and DOWN arrow key to set manual speed.
3. Set P05 to ‘05 - R22’ to restore automatic control.
T o provide manual start/stop control:
With power removed from VFD, remove start command
jumper and in sta ll a s wi tch b etwe en th e a ppr opr iate st art ter minals as required in Fig 37.
EPM CHIP — The drive uses a electronic programming module (EPM) chip to store the program parameters. This is an EEPROM memory chip and is accessible from the front of the
VFD. It should not be removed with power applied to the
VFD.
LIQUID LINE PRESSURE SET POINT ADJUSTMENT — Adjusting the set point is not recommended due to
possible interaction with other head pressure software algorithms or controls. In situations where the set point must be
changed, the set point for R-22 is found in P34. A higher value
will result in a higher liquid line set point. Example: increasing
the factory default (P34) set point from 18.0 to 19.0 will increase the liquid line pressure by approximately 10 psi.
LOSS OF SCN COMMUNICATIONS — Sterlco Comfort
Network (SCN) communications with external control
systems can be affected by high frequency electrical noise generated by the Motormaster V control. Ensure unit is well
grounded to eliminate ground currents along communication
lines.
If communications are lost only while Motormaster V control is in operation, order a signal isolator (CEAS420876-2)
and power supplies (CEAS221045-01, 2 required) for the SCN
communication line.
Fault Codes
start after a fault and will attempt to restart three times after a
fault (the drive will not restart after CF, cF, GF, F1, F2-F9, or
Fo faults). If all three restart attempts are unsuccessful, the
drive will trip into FAULT LOCKOUT (LC), which requires a
manual reset.
NOTE: Since faults may be reset as incoming power is cycled,
you may need to observe current fault code before the Sterling
unit control turns off the VFD. Most recent faults can be
accessed using parameter 50. If necessary, remove start jumper
and energize condenser fan contactor using Service Test. This
will allow programming and access to fault history.

Manual Reset
— If fault condition has been removed, cycle

Troubleshooting
— Troubleshooting the Motormaster® V
control requires a combination of observing system ope ration
and VFD information. The drive provides 2 kinds of troubleshooting modes: a status matrix using the 3-digit display
(P57, P58) and real time monitoring of key inputs and outputs.
The collective group is displayed through parameters
50-60 and all values are read-only.
•P50: FAULT HISTORY — Last 8 faults
•P51: SOFTWARE version
•P52: DC BUS VOLTAGE — in percent of nominal.

100 will indicate full scale which is 5 v
•P56 4-20 mA INPUT — in percent of maximum input.
20% = 4 mA, 100% = 20 mA
Manual Starter Trip
— If the VFD manual starter (MS-FCHS, MS-FC-A1 or MS-FC-B1 depending on model) trips,
locate the inrush current protectors (3 round black disks per
motor) and verify their resistance. For units operating at 208 v
or 230 v, these devices should measure approximately 7 ohms.
For all other voltages, they should measure approximately
20 ohms. Check value with mating plug disconnected, power
to chiller off and at ambient temperature (not hot immediately
after stopping VFD). These are standard resistances at 77 F
(25 C). Resistance values decrease at higher temperatures and
increase at lower temperatures.

Hydronic Package —
If the unit is equipped with a
REPLACEMENT PART
NO. (without Software)
factory-installed hydronic package, consult the information below for proper maintenance and service. In addition to this
information, each factory-installed hydronic package is supplied with a packet of information supplied by the manufacturer, Bell & Gossett. Sterling/Sterlco strongly recommends
that this information be thoroughly reviewed prior to operation
of the chiller.
PUMP PERFORMANCE CHECK — The factory-installed
pumps in the 30RA units are shipped with a single impeller
size available for that pump. The pump was selected based on
the flow and head requirements as provided to Sterling. It is not
uncommon for actual pump duty to be different than what was
anticipated at time of selection. In many cases, it may be desirable to make some field modifications to obtain optimum
pump performance.
Before any pump modifications are made, it is recommended that actual pump performance be verified and compa red to
the applicable pump curve. See base unit installation instructions. This can be done in a variety of ways:
1. If pump impeller diameter is known:
a. Connect a differential pressure gage across the
pump at the ports provided on the pump volutes.
b. Read GPM from applicable impeller curve.
2. If pump impeller diameter is not known:
If pump impeller diameter has been trimmed and the size
is not known, it is necessary to determine which impeller
curve to read.
The easiest way to confirm pump performance is to
“dead-head” the pump and read the differential pressure
across the pressure ports on the pump. “Dead-heading”
can be done by shutting the circuit setter valve on the discharge side of the pump.
NOTE: Although not all pumps can be safely “deadheaded”, centrifugal pumps (such as on the 30RA units)
can be “dead-headed” for short amounts of time. It is recommended to keep the time short due to excessive heat
build-up in the pump.
Since the “dead-head” condition is a no-flow condition,
the head will correspond to the intersection of an impel ler curve with the vertical a xis of the pump chart. The
correct impeller diameter is that which corresponds to the
measured h ea d.
3. Once the impeller diameter is known, proceed as in
Step 1.
4. Water flow rate can be determined by using a differential
pressure gage with the Bell & Gossett circuit setter balance valve calculator. (This information is also provided
in the installation instructions.) This method will not directly measure pressure differential seen by the pump, but
can be used to “double-check” the pump measurement.
5. Verify that cable connections at the switch a nd at the te rminal block are secure.
6. For factory-installed hydronic system, verify that:
• All air has been purged from the system.
• Circuit setter balance valve has been correctly set.
7. Pump impeller has been improperly trimmed and is not
providing sufficient flow.
8. Wrong pump motor rotation. Pump must rotate clockwise
when viewed from motor end of pump.

necessary.
The fol-
PRE-START-UP
IMPORTANT: Before beginning Pre-Start-Up or Start-Up,
complete Start-Up Checklist for 30RA Liquid Chiller at
end of this publication (page CL-1 to CL-8). The Checklist
assures proper start-up of a unit, and provides a record of
unit condition, application requirements, system information, and operation at initial start-up.
Do not attempt to start the chiller until following checks
have been completed.
System Check
1. Check all auxiliary components, such as chilled fluid
pumps, air-handling equipment, or other equipment to
which the chiller supplies liquid. Consult manufacturer's
instructions. V e rify that any pump interlock contacts have
been properly installed. If the unit If the unit has
field-installed accessories, be sure all are properly installed and wired correctly. Refer to unit wiring diagrams.
2. Use the Scrolling Marquee display to adjust the Cooling
Set Point.
3. Fill chilled fluid circuit with clean water (with recommended inhibitor added) or other non-corrosive fluid to
be cooled. Bleed all air out of the high points of the system. If chilled water is to be maintained at a temperature
below 40 F (4.4 C) or outdoor temperatures are expected
to be below 32 F (0° C), a brine of sufficient concentration must be used to prevent freeze-up at anticipated
suction temperatures. See Table 40.
4. Check tightness of all electrical connections.
5. Oil should be visible in the compressor sightglass(es).
See Fig. 39. An acceptable oil level in the compressors is
from ¼ to ¾ of sight glass. Adjust the oil level as required. See Check Oil Charge section on page 60 for
Sterling approved oils.
6. Electrical power source must agree with unit nameplate.
7. All condenser fan and factory installed hydronic package
pump motors are three phase. Check for proper rotation
of condenser fans first BEFORE attempting to start
pumps or compressors. To reverse rotation, interchange
any two of the main incoming power leads.
8. Be sure system is fully charged with refrigerant (see
Check Refrigerant Charge section on page 75).
9. If unit is a brine unit, check to ensure proper brine concentration is used to prevent freezing.
10. Veri fy proper operation of cooler and hydronic package
heaters (if installed). Heat ers operat e at the same voltage
as the main incoming power supply and are single phase.
Heater current is approximately .4 amps for 380, 400, 460
and 575 v units. Heater current is approximately .8 amps
for 230 v units.
NOTE: Refer to Start-Up Checklist on pages CL-1 to CL-8.
Actual Start-Up —
Actual start-up should be done only
under supervision of a qualified refrigeration mechanic.
1. Be sure all service valves are open.
2. Using the Scrolling Marquee display, set leaving-fluid set
point (CSP.1) [Set Point, COOL]. No cooling range adjustment is necessary.
3. Start chilled fluid pump (if not configured for cooler
pump control).
4. Turn ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE CONTACT switch to
ENABLE position.

COMPRESSOR OIL
SIGHT GLASS
Fig. 39 — Compressor Connections and Oil Sight Glass Location
5. Allow unit to operate and confirm that everything is functioning properly. Check to see that leaving fluid temperature agrees with leaving set point (CSP.1 or CSP.2), or if
reset is used, with the control point (CTPT) [Run Status,
VIEW].
6. Check the c o o l er le av i n g c h il le d w a te r te m p e r at u r e to see
that it remains well above 32 F (0° C), or the brine freezing point if the unit is a medium temperature brine unit.
7. Recheck compressor oil level (see Check Oil Charge
section).
Check Refrigerant Charge —
All 30RA units are
shipped with a complete operating charge of R-22 and should
be under sufficient pressure to conduct a leak test after installation. If there is no system pressure, admit nitrogen until a pressure is observed and then proceed to test for leaks. After leaks
are repaired, the system must be dehydrated.
All refrigerant charging should be done through the ¼-in.
Schraeder connection on the liquid line. Do NOT add refrigerant charge through the low-pressure side of the system. If complete charging is required, weigh in the appropriate charge for
the circuit as shown on the unit nameplate. If partial charging is
required, operate circuit at full load and use an accurate temperature sensor on the liquid line as it enters the T XV. Use the
Temperatures mode on the Scrolling Marquee display to show
the circuit saturated condensing temperature (SCT.A or
SCT.B). Charging is most accurate at satur ated discharge temperatures of 120 to 125 F (49 to 52 C). Block condenser airflow
as required to reach this temperature range. Add refrigerant until the system subcooling (SCT.A or SCT.B minus liquid line
temperature entering TXV) is approximately 15 to 17 F (–9.4
to –8.3 C). Refrigerant VAPOR only may be added to a circuit
through the
1
/4-in. suction Schraeder connection on the compressor. This connection is located in line and to the left of the
compressor junction box for the SM110 compressors and to the
lower right of the compressor junction box for all other compressor models.
Never charge liquid into low-pressure side of system. Do
not overcharge. Overcharging results in higher discharge
pressure, possible compressor damage, and higher power
consumption. During charging or removal of refrigerant, be
sure water is continuously circulating through the cooler to
prevent freezing. Damage caused by freezing is considered
abuse and may void the Sterling warranty.
Operating Limitations
TEMPERATURES (See Table 41 for 30RA Standard Temperature Limits)
Do not operate with cooler leaving chiller water (fluid)
temperature (LCWT) below 40 F (4.4 C) for the standard
units, or below 15 F (–9.4 C) for units factory built for
medium temperature brine.
High Cooler Leaving Chilled Water (Fluid) Temperatures
(LCWT) — During start-up with cooler LCWT above approximately 60 F (16 C), the unit expansion valve will limit suction
pressure to approximately 90 psig (620 kPa) to avoid overloading the compressor.
Low Cooler LCWT
no lower than 40 F (4.4 C). If the unit is the factory-installed
optional medium temperature brine unit, the cooler LCWT can
go down to 15 F (–9.4 C).
— For standard units, the LCWT must be

below 45 F (7 C) for sizes 010-030 or below 32 F (0° C) for
sizes 032-055 are expected, accessory Motormaster® V control must be installed. Refer to separate installation instructions
for operation using this accessory. Contact your Sterling representative for details.
2. Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 243 – 239 = 4 v
(BC) 239 – 236 = 3 v
(AC) 239 – 238 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
3. Determine percent voltage imbalance:
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x

239
= 1.7%
This voltage imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the
maximum allowable of 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is
more than 2%, contact your local electric utility company
immediately. Do not operate unit until imbalance condition
is corrected.
Control Circuit Power
— Power for the control circuit is
supplied from the main incoming power through a factoryinstalled control power transformer (TRAN1) for all mode ls.
Field wiring connections are made to either terminal block
TB5 or TB6.
Brine duty application (below 40 F [4.4 C] LCWT) for
chiller normally requires factory modification. Contact
your Sterling representative for applicable LCWT range for
standard water-cooled chiller in a specific application.

OPERATION SEQUENCE
During unit off cycle, the control monitors the outdoor air
temperature. If the ambient temperature drops below 40 F
(4.4 C), cooler and hydronic system heaters (if either are factory installed) are energized. If power is maintained to the chiller
and the EMERGENC Y ON/O FF sw it ch i s left in the OFF po sition, these heaters are also energized.
The unit is started by putting the ENABLE/OFF/REMOTE
CONTACT switch in the ENABLE or REMOTE CONTACT
position. When the unit receives a call for cooling (either from
the internal control or SCN network command or remote contact closure), the unit stages up in capacity to maintain the leaving fluid set point. The first compressor starts 1
after the call for cooling.
The lead circuit can be specifically designated on all models
or selected based on compressor run hours and starts depending on field configuration. The unit control will override this
selection under certain starting conditions to properly maintain
oil return to the compressors. In general, on dual compressor
circuits, the control will most often start the A1 or B1 compressor first, especially after long off periods. The MBB controls
fan stages to maintain the head pressure set point and will automatically adjust unit capacity as required to keep compressors
from operating outside of the specified envelope. There are no
pumpout or pumpdown sequences on these chillers.
For all units, if temperature reset is being used, the unit controls to a higher leaving-fluid temperature as the building load
reduces. If demand limit is used, the unit may temporarily be
unable to maintain the desired leaving-fluid temperature because of imposed power limitations. Loading sequence for
compressors is shown in Tables 6 and 7.
