General Information
Unit Description
Before shipment, each unit is leak tested, dehydrated,
charged with refrigerant and compressor oil, and run tested
for proper control operation.
Each unit is equipped with manifolded scroll compressors.
Each manifolded set of compressors is piped in parallel and
utilizes a passive oil management system to maintain
proper compressor oil level.
The condenser coils are aluminum fin, mechanically bonded
to copper tubing. Copper-fin coils are optional. Louvered
condenser grilles for coil protection are standard.
Direct-drive, vertical discharge condenser fans are provided
with built-in thermal overload protection.
For “Ship with” items, refer to the Unit Component “Layout”
and “Ship with” Locations illustration.
If low ambient operation is required, low ambient dampers
are available as a field or factory installed option.
The evaporators used in each air-cooled cold generator are
of brazed plate construction. Each evaporator is fully insulated. Entering and leaving temperatures of the chilled solution are measured by sensors located on the evaporator.
A liquid line solenoid valve, filter drier, sight glass, thermostatic expansion valve, and service valves (liquid and discharge) are provided on each circuit.
Standard controls for these units is a microelectronics control system that consists of a network of modules referred to
collectively as Unit Control Modules (UCM). The acronym
UCM is used extensively throughout this document when
referring to the control system network.
These modules, through Proportional/Integral control algorithms, perform specific unit functions that governs unit operation in response to chilled water temperature leaving the
evaporator. The stages of capacity control for these units is
achieved by starting and stopping the compressors.
The modules are mounted in the control panel and are factory wired to their respective internal components. They receive and interpret information from other unit modules,
sensors, remote panels, and customer binary contacts to
satisfy the applicable request for cooling. Refer to the following discussion for an explanation of each module function.
The Human Interface module enables the operator to adjust
the operating parameters for the unit using it’s 16 key keypad. The 2 line, 40 character LCD screen provides status
information for the various unit functions as well as menus
for the operator to set or modify the operating parameters.
Cold Generator Module (1U48) (CGM - Standard)
The Cold Generator Module (CGM) responds to cooling requests by energizing the proper unit components based on
information received from other unit modules, sensors, remote panels, and customer supplied binary inputs. It initiates unit operation based on that information.
Compressor Module (1U44) (MCM)
The Compressor module, upon receiving a request for mechanical cooling, energizes the appropriate compressors
and condenser fans. It monitors the compressor operation
through feedback information it receives from various protection devices. It also provides heat tape output control for
heat exchanger protection.
Interprocessor Communications Board (1U55) (IPCB Optional - used with Optional Remote Human Interface)
The Interprocessor Communication Board expands communications from the unit’s UCM network to a Remote Human Interface Panel. DIP switch settings on the IPCB module for this application should be; Switches 1 and 2 “Off”, Switch 3 “On”.
Trane Communications Interface Module (1U54) (TCI Optional - used with Trane ICS
TM
Systems)
The Trane Communication Interface module expands
communications from the unit’s UCM network to a Trane Tracer
100™ or a Tracer Summit™ system and allows external setpoint
adjustment and monitoring of status and diagnostics.
DIP Switch settings on the TCI module for these applications should be: Switches 1, 2, and 3 are “Off”
Generic Building Automation System Module
(1U51 = GBAS 0-5V, 1U98 = GBAS 0-10V)
Optional - used with Non-Trane Building Control System)
The Generic Building Automation System (GBAS) module
allows a non-Trane building control system to communicate
with the unit and accepts external setpoints in form of analog inputs (0 - 5 DCV or 0 - 10 DCV depending on the module selected) and a binary Input for demand limit. Five (5)
binary outputs are available on 0 - 5 DCV modules. One (1)
binary output and four (4) analog outputs are available on
the 0 - 10 DCV modules. Refer to the “Field Installed Control Wiring” section for the control wiring to the GBAS module and the various desired setpoints with the corresponding DC voltage inputs.
Lontalk Communication Interface Module (1U54)
(LCI Optional - used on units with Trane ICS
™
or 3rd
party Building Automation Systems)
The LonTalk Communication Interface module expands communications from the unit’s UCM network to a Trane Tracer
™
Summit
or a 3rd party building automation system, that utilizes LonTalk, and allows external setpoint and configuration
adjustment and monitoring of status and diagnostics.
Current Sensing Module (1U90) (CSM - Optional)
Current transformers located around two (2) of the main
power leads for each compressor monitors the running current during compressor operation. The information is sent to
the CGM and can be accessed through the “Compressor
Status” submenu displayed at the Human Interface Module.
Monitors the system operating superheat and subcooling
through the use of pressure transducers, liquid line, and
suction line temperature sensors. The information is sent to
the SSM and can be accessed through the “Compressor
Status” submenu displayed at the Human Interface Module.
Input Devices & System Functions
The descriptions of the following basic Input Devices used
within the UCM network are to acquaint the operator with
their function as they interface with the various modules.
Refer to the unit’s electrical schematic for the specific module connections.
5
Lead/Lag (Standard)
When Lead-Lag is enabled, for each capacity add request,
the CGM will begin sequencing the compressors “On” that
have:
a. the least number of starts; or,
b. the least run time (if number of starts are equal)
At each capacity subtract request, the CGM will begin sequencing the compressors “Off” that have:
a. the most run time; or,
b. the least number of starts (if more than one
compressor has the same run time)
If a compressor is locked out for any reason when a capacity add request occurs, the next available compressor which
meets the specified criteria will be started.
If a compressor can not be turned “Off” due to the minimum
“On Time”, the next compressor which meets the specified
criteria will be turned “Off”.
On dual circuit units, as the first two capacity add requests
are initiated, one compressor on each circuit will start before any additional compressors on any circuit is started.
When staging down from three compressor stages to two
compressor stages, the CGM will turn the compressors
“Off” on the circuit that has the most compressors operating.
With Lead/Lag enabled, HGBP operation (if applicable) will
be bypassed and the system will go directly into pumpdown
when the last subtract command is initiated.
When the UCM is powered up (after a power loss), or any
time the compressor’s start time and run time are equal, the
lead compressor for single circuit units (20 through 30
Tons), will be the first “On” and the lag compressor will be
the first “Off”. For dual circuit units (40 through 60 Tons), the
“On” sequence will be A-C-B-D and the “Off” sequence will
be D-B-C-A.
Loss of Charge/Flow (Refrigerant) Control
Is accomplished by Loss of Charge Cutout (LCC)
switch(es), located on the suction line(s) near the scroll
compressor(s). The LCC are connected to the SCM or
MCM Low Pressure Cutout (LPC) binary input.
The LCC contacts are designed to open if the suction pressure approaches 7 ± 4 psig. If the LCC opens after a compressor has started, all compressors operating on that circuit will be turned off immediately and will remain off for a
minimum of three minutes.
The LCC contacts are designed to close when the suction
pressure exceeds 22 ± 4 psig. If the LCC is open when a
compressor is requested to start, none of the compressors
on that circuit will be allowed to operate. They are locked
out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated. If the LCC
opens four consecutive times, during the initial three minutes of compressor operation on a circuit, the compressors
General Information
on that circuit will be locked out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
Evaporator Freeze Protection
Is accomplished by Freeze Protection Cutout (FPC)
switch(es), located on the suction line(s) near the scroll
compressor(s).
The FPC are connected to the SCM or MCM Low Pressure
Cutout (LPC) binary input, in series with the LCC
switch(es.) The FPC switch is used to prevent the refrigerant from becoming cold enough to cause the chilled solution in the Evaporator to freeze. This pressure switch is typically set to trip at a higher refrigerant pressure, typically 20
to 45 PSIG depending on the selected leaving water
setpoint range of the unit.
If the FPC opens after a compressor has started, all compressors operating on that circuit will be turned off immediately and will remain off for a minimum of three minutes.
If the FPC is open when a compressor is requested to start,
none of the compressors on that circuit will be allowed to
operate. They are locked out and a manual reset diagnostic
is initiated.
If the FPC opens four consecutive times, during the initial
three minutes of compressor operation on a circuit, the
compressors on that circuit will be locked out and a manual
reset diagnostic is initiated.
Saturated Condenser Temperature Sensors (Standard)
Are analog input devices mounted inside a temperature well
located on a condenser tube bend. They monitor the saturated refrigerant temperature inside the condenser coil and
are connected to the compressor module (MCM). As the
saturated refrigerant temperature varies due to operating
conditions, the condenser fans are cycled “On” or “Off” as
required to maintain acceptable operating pressures.
Head Pressure Control (Standard)
Is generally achieved by staging condenser fans on on if
the Saturated Condensing Temperature (SCT) rises above
the Saturated Condensing Temperature Control Band Upper Limit (SCTUL) and staged off if the SCT falls below the
Saturated Condensing Temperature Control Band Low Limit
(SCTLL), in an effort to maintain the SCT within this fixed
temperature range.
For 20 and 40 ton units, two outputs (A and C) per circuit
are controlled. For 25, 30, 50 and 60 ton units, three outputs (A, B and C) per circuit are controlled. Each output
controls a condenser fan motor contactor. Output C will energize on initial call for fan staging, and will remain energized as long as a compressor on that circuit is on. The
third condenser fan motor associated with Output C will be
located under the low ambient damper, if that option is installed.
Condenser Fan Output Control (MCM relays and fan motor contactors)
* Output under the Low Ambient Damper, if installed.
6
For 25, 30, 50 and 60 ton units, the Saturated Condenser
OA Temp Suppression Setpoint (SCTOATSS) is a Human
Interface settable parameter (default: 40°F, range: 30 50°F, Disabled: above 50°F) which determines how many
condenser fan outputs will turn on.
Upon first compressor start on a circuit, all condenser fans
remain off until the SCT rises above the control band lower
limit. On 25, 30, 50 and 60 ton units, if the Outdoor Air
Temperature (OAT) is greater than or equal to the
SCTOATSS, or the SCTOATSS Function is disabled, all
condenser fan outputs will be energized. If the OAT is less
than the SCTOATSS, only Outputs B and C are energized.
On 20 and 40 ton units, all condenser fan outputs will be
energized.
When one or more condenser fan outputs are energized:
If the SCT rises above the SCTUL, for 20 and 40 ton units,
all condenser fan outputs are energized. For 25, 30, 50
and 60 ton units, if the OAT is less than the SCTOATSS
only one condenser fan stage will be added. If the OAT is
greater than or equal to SCTOATSS, or the SCTOATSS
Function is disabled, all condenser fan stages will be energized.
If the SCT falls below the SCTLL, for 20 and 40 ton units, if
both Outputs A and C are on, then Output A is de-energized. If only Output C was on, it remains on. For 25, 50
and 60 ton units, if both Outputs A and B are on, Output A is
de-energized.

If the SCT rises above the Saturated Condensing Temperature Efficiency Check Point (SCTECP), for 20 and 40 ton
units, no outputs are changed. For 25, 50 and 60 ton units,
if the OAT is less than the SCTOATSS, no outputs are
changed. If the OAT is greater than the SCTOATSS, or disabled, if Output A and Output B are off, then Output B is energized. If Output B is on and Output A is off, no outputs
are changed. For 30 ton units, if the OAT is less than the
SCTOATSS, no outputs are changed. If the OAT is greater
than the SCTOATSS, or disabled, if Output A and Output B
are off, Output A is de-energized. If Output A is on and Output B is off, Output B is energized and Output A is de-energized. If Output B is on and Output A is off, no outputs are
changed.
Notes:
1. If the SCT remains below the SCTLL for 30 seconds after
the stage change, then Output B will be de-energized. At
this time, only the fan (under the low ambient damper)
controlled by Output C will be on.
2. At this time, only the fan (under the low ambient damper)
controlled by Output C will be on.
3. If the SCT remains below the SCTLL for 30 seconds after
the stage change, then Output A will be energized and
Output B will be de-energized. If the SCT remains below
the SCTLL for an additional 30 seconds after the stage
change, then Output A will be de-energized. At this time,
only the fan (under the low ambient damper) controlled
by Output C will be on.
4. If the Sat Cond. Temp. remains below the SCTLL for an
additional 30 seconds after the stage change, then Output A will be de-energized. At this time, only the fan (under the low ambient damper) controlled by Output C will
be on.
To prevent rapid fan cycling, minimum condenser fan
stage on and off time is 5.2 seconds, except when all
compressor stages on a circuit are de-energized for
any reason, the condenser fan stages on that circuit
General Information
are de-energized immediately without regard to the
condenser fan minimum on time. Also, if four fan
stage changes occur within a ten minute period, then
SCT is controlled to SCTLL minus “Saturated Condenser Temp Control Band Temporary Low Limit Suppression” for a period of one hour.
In a low ambient condition, adding or subtracting a full fan
stage provides excess capacity. To provide head pressure
control in low ambient conditions, the UCM controls SCT to
the “Saturated Condensing Temperature Low Ambient Control Point” by modulating the capacity of a dedicated condenser fan stage between 0 and 100% via the Low Ambient
Fan Control Actuator output
Normally, the head pressure control allows unit operation
down to 30°F. With the addition of a low ambient damper,
This feature allows for low ambient compressor operation
down to 0°F.
The low ambient control algorithm is active on all units, regardless of whether the unit is configured as having low
ambient damper option.
High Pressure Controls (Standard)
High Pressure controls are located on the discharge lines
near the scroll compressors. They are designed to open
when the discharge pressure approaches the unit specific
pressure setting. The controls reset automatically when the
discharge pressure decreases to the unit specific pressure
setting. However, the compressors on that circuit are locked
out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
Low Ambient Control (Optional)
The low ambient modulating output on the compressor
module is functional on all units with or without the low ambient option.
Anytime the unit is powered-on, this output is operational,
regardless if the compressors are ON or OFF. Once the
condenser fan operation is started, the condenser fan located under this damper will remain ON until all compressors on that circuit are turned OFF. These dampers will
modulate to maintain the saturated condensing temperature
to the "Saturated Condensing Temperature Control Point"
and the "Low Ambient Control Deadband" which are located
under the Human Interface setup screens for Head Pressure Control.
Status/Alarm Output (Standard)
Is an internal function within the CGM control module that
provides;
a. diagnostic signals to the Human Interface Alarm
LED.
b. control of the binary Alarm output.
c. control of the binary outputs on the GBAS module to
inform the customer of the operational status and/or
diagnostic conditions.
Compressor Circuit Breakers (Standard)
The Scroll Compressors are protected by circuit breakers
which interrupt the power supply to the compressors if the
current exceeds the breakers “must trip” value and opens a
set of auxiliary contacts in the control circuit.
When the Compressor Module (MCM) detects the open
auxiliary compressor contacts, it turns any operating
compressor(s) on that circuit “Off”, locks out all compressor
operation for that circuit, and initiates a manual reset diagnostic.

General Information
Compressor Motor Winding Thermostats (Standard)
A thermostat is embedded in the motor windings of each
Scroll compressor. Each thermostat is designed to open if
the motor windings exceeds approximately 221oF. The thermostat will reset automatically when the winding temperature decreases to approximately 181
o
F. Rapid cycling, loss
of charge, abnormally high suction temperatures, or the
compressor running backwards could cause the thermostat
to open. During a request for compressor operation, if the
Compressor Module detects a problem outside of it’s normal parameters, it turns any operating compressor(s) on
that circuit “Off”, locks out all compressor operation for that
circuit, and initiates a manual reset diagnostic.
Low Ambient Compressor Lockout (Standard)
When low ambient compressor lockout is enabled, the compressors are not allowed to operate if the temperature of
the outside air falls below the lockout setpoint. Compressor
operation is enabled when the temperature rises 5
o
F above
the lockout setpoint. The setpoints and enable/disable option is programmable at the Human Interface inside the unit
control panel. The default setting is 30
o
F.
Short Cycle Protection (Standard)
If compressor operation is interrupted by a loss of power or
by a manual reset diagnostic, a minimum of one minute
must elapse before the affected compressor(s) will be allowed to restart for “Process” applications. A minimum of
three minutes must elapse before the affected
compressor(s) will be allowed to restart for “Comfort Cooling” applications.
Hot Start (Load Limit) Control (Standard)
Each time the system is started and the control of the CGM
transitions from “Loop Stabilization” to either “Process” or
“Comfort Cooling”, if the Leaving Solution Temperature
(LST) is higher than the programmable Hot Start Load Limit
Setpoint (HSLLS), the lag compressor on each circuit will
be prevented from operating until the leaving solution temperature is lowered by 5
If the Hot Start Limit time interval elapses before the LST is
o
F below the HSLLS, the control will transition immediately
5
o
F below the HSLLS.
into the Hot Operation mode.
Hot Operation mode is programmable to:
1. Do not limit capacity, initiate an informational diagnostic
until the LST falls 5
o
F below the HSLLS.
2. Limit the capacity to 50 percent (one compressor per cir-
cuit), initiate an auto reset diagnostic until the LST falls
5o F below the HSLLS.
3. Turn “Off” and lockout all of the compressors and initiate
a manual reset diagnostic.
Loss-of-Flow (Solution) Protection (Standard)
All units:
Compressors are allowed to operate once the pump is running and the flow switch input is closed. If the flow switch
input opens during normal operation for longer than 6 seconds, the compressors and fans will stop. If the switch input
is still open after 5 minutes, a auto-reset diagnostic (Evap
Solution Flow Proving Switch) will be generated. Once this
input is closed, the diagnostic will clear and the compressors will be allowed to resume operation. If the flow switch
fails open or is not connected when the chiller starts up,
only the solution pump output will be energized. 5 minutes
later, an auto-reset diagnostic (Evap Solution Flow Proving
Switch) will be generated. Once the flow switch input
closes, the chiller will operate normally.
If the chiller controls the pump (Chiller solution pump
mode = AUTO):
If the pump is cycled off by the CGM or a power failure occurs, and the unit is re-started, the flow switch input must
open and then close for proper operation. If the switch is
stuck closed or shorted, the pump will start but compressors will not operate. Also, a manual resettable diagnostic
(Evaporator Solution Flow Loss) will be generated. To reset
the diagnostic, stop the pump and allow the flow switch to
open, then reset at the Human Interface (see Programming
Guide).
Note: There is a minimum "off" time of 60 seconds for the
pump output. This "off" time is overridden if the flow switch
opens.
If the chiller does not control the pump (Chiller solution
pump mode = ON):
Do not bypass the flow switch input! If the flow switch input
is bypassed, the unit will not have flow loss protection and
equipment damage may result.
WARNING
Equipment Damage!
Do not bypass the flow switch input! If the flow switch
input is bypassed, the unit will not have flow loss protection and equipment damage may result.
The flow switch input must be closed for compressor operation. If the flow switch input is open and a request for cooling is given, compressors will not start and a auto-reset diagnostic (Evap Solution Flow Proving Switch) will be generated after 5 minutes. Once this input is closed, the diagnostic will clear and the compressors will be allowed to operate.
Low Ambient Start (Standard)
Before first start of a compressor on a refrigerant circuit, the
CGM Low Ambient LPC Bypass output is closed which bypasses the Freeze Protection Cutout (FPC) switch in the
MCM Low Pressure Cutout (LPC) input circuit for a period
of time that varies based on the prevailing ambient temperature. The relationship between this variable time period
and the ambient temperature is linear from a maximum of 5
minutes at 0°F to a minimum of two minutes at 65°F. A fixed
three minute bypass time is initiated each time a subsequent compressor is started on a refrigerant circuit. No additional compressors will be allowed to start within that circuit until the bypass time has expired.
Chiller Solution Pump Output Relay (Standard)
A Solution Pump binary output (Form C) relay is located on
the CGM which may be used to control the chiller solution
pump.
If the Chiller Solution Pump Mode, at the Human Interface
Module, is set to “On”, the Solution Pump will run continuously.
If the Chiller Solution Pump Mode, at the Human Interface
Module, is set to Auto, the Solution Pump will be turned
“Off”:
8
1. when the unit is stopped (Unit Stop or External Auto/
Stop)
2. during the unit’s Power On Delay Time
3. when the primary control states are:
Ice Rebuild Delay
Ice Building Complete
A Solution Pump “Off Delay” Time may be programmed to
allow the Solution Pump to remain “On”, for an adjustable
period of time between 0.5 minutes and 10 minutes, at the
time an “Off” state is requested. The Solution Pump will always run for this delay time when turning off except during
an Emergency Stop condition. If an Emergency Stop is initiated, the Solution Pump is immediately turned “Off” (relay
de-energized).
On units configured with pump mode 'Auto', a solution pump
'On Delay' of 60 seconds will be enforced after the pump
turns off to allow the solution flow proving switch to open
before the pump is allowed to start. If the flow switch opens,
this delay will be over-riden and the pump will be allowed to
start.
Low Ambient Pump Control (Standard)
A Low Ambient Pump “On” Control function (LAPC) allows
the pump to run continuously if either the entering or leaving
solution temperature falls below a programmable Low Ambient Pump Override Temperature (LAPT) Setpoint or if either
the entering or leaving Solution temperature input failure
occurs. An Auto Reset Diagnostic will be issued and remain
as long as the condition exists.
If both entering and leaving solution temperatures rise
above the Low Ambient Pump Override Temp Setpoint plus
three degrees and either temperature has risen above the
Active Leaving Solution Setpoint, the Auto Reset diagnostic
is cleared and the pump is turned off.
This function will be disabled when an Emergency Stop
request is initiated.
During service test operation, if a low ambient condition exists when the operator attempts to turn the pump “Off”, a
message will be displayed on the Human Interface Module
advising that the pump cannot be turned off due to the low
ambient condition.
General Information
External Auto/Stop (Optional)
The unit can be Stopped and Started by a remote customer
provided field installed binary input device (such as a time
clock) connected to the CGM. When the input is opened
(Stop), the unit will stage the compressors and the solution
pump “Off” in a normal manner and display “Off due to external stop” at the unit Human Interface. When the input is
closed (Start), the unit will start and run normally.
The External Auto/Stop input operates in the same manner
as the STOP/AUTO keys on the unit mounted Human Inter
face or the Remote Human Interface (RHI). However, the
Stop key at the unit mounted Human Interface has priority
over both the remote External Auto/Stop and the Remote
Human Interface Auto/Stop.
Note: If the STOP key is pressed at the unit
mounted Human Interface, no remote AUTO (Start)
key will start the unit until the AUTO key is pressed
at the unit mounted Human Interface.
A start (AUTO) command is allowed only if no overriding diagnostics or higher priority function is present.
Flow Switch Interlock (Standard)
While the factory provided field installed flow switch is wired
to the CGM, if it opens for more than 6 continuous seconds
when the pump is requested to be "On", compressor operation will be inhibited and if compressors are operating, they
will be turned off. If the flow switch remains open for 5 continuous minutes an auto reset diagnostic will occur.

Chilled Water Piping
Evaporator water inlet and outlet types, sizes and locations
are shown in Figure 2. Refer to the operating GPM parameters listed in Table 9 when determining flow and piping requirements. Figure 8 illustrates the typical water piping
components for chiller applications. Refer to this illustration
while following the discussion on the various piping components.
24
Installation
Isolate the water pumps from the system to avoid vibration
transmission. To minimize heat gain and prevent condensation, insulate all water piping. Use an appropriate pipe sealant on all threaded connections.
Chilled Water Access Holes
These units have water access panels that contain perforated “circles” and panel separations (30 to 60 ton chillers
allow access through either of two sides. See Figure 7A).
Removing these “circles” provides piping access to the
chiller. Each panel contains one or two perforated “circles”,
remove both perforated "circles" per panel. Therefore, follow these steps to ensure proper panel modification.
1. Refer to Figure 7A and mark an “X” on the outer perforated “circle” in each water access panel. (These are
aligned with the water inlet and outlet piping on the heat
exchanger).
2. Remove all the screws located below the perforation of
both panels. Do not remove any screws above the perforation.
3. Break both panels at the perforation by grasping them
near the bottom and bending with a back and forth motion.
4. Remove the resulting “half-moon” sections that were
marked with an “X”.
Note: Remove only the “half-moon” sections that
were marked with an “X”.
5. For 50 and 60 Ton units, an additional perforated section
in the upright brace behind the access panels must be
removed. Break this piece out with pliers and discard.
6. Apply edge protector to the upper and lower portions of
both panels along the entire length of the broken perforation as shown in Figure 7B. (The edge protector is factory provided, and is secured to the chiller foot).
7. Reinstall the lower halves of the water access panels and
secure them with the screws that were removed in step
two.
Note: The gap between the insulated pipe and the
access holes must not exceed 1/2 inch. Refer to
Figure 7C.
Air Vents
A vent port is located on top of the chiller near the return
end. Additional vents must be installed at high points in the
piping system to facilitate air purging during the filling process.
Water Pressure Gauges
Install pressure gauge(s) at the chiller barrel to monitor the
entering and leaving solution pressure.
Note: To prevent evaporator damage, do not
exceed 150 psig evaporator pressure.
Water Shutoff Valves
Provide shutoff valves in the “Supply” and “Return” pipe
near the chiller so the gauge(s), thermostats, sensors,
strainer, etc., can be isolated during service.
Pipe Unions
Use pipe unions to simplify disassembly for system service.
Use vibration eliminators to prevent transmitting vibrations
through the water lines
Thermometers
Install thermometers in the lines to monitor the evaporator
entering and leaving water temperatures.
Balancing Valves
Install a balancing cock (valve) in the leaving water line. It
will be used to establish a balanced flow.
Note: Both the entering and leaving water lines
should have shutoff valves installed to isolate the
evaporator for service.
Strainer
The strainer is factory provided and should be installed in
the water line entering the chiller to protect the evaporator
from entrapped debris.
Chiller Drain
The chiller drain should be piped to a suitable drain facility
to facilitate evaporator draining during service or shutdown
procedures. Provide a shutoff valve in the drain line.
Note: The chiller ships without the drain plug
installed. If drain piping is not installed, remove the
drain plug from the control panel and install it in
the drain port before filling the system with water.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Chiller Flow Switch
Install the factory provided flow switch or other flow sensing
device, illustrated in Figure 9, to prevent or stop the compressor operation if the water flow drops off drastically. A
flow switch ships standard with each unit. Locate the device
in the chilled water supply line (water outlet) as shown in
Figure 8. Refer to the field wiring and unit schematics for
the flow switch electrical interlock connections.

Final Water Piping Connections
1. All water piping to the system should be flushed thoroughly before making the final connections.
Note: If an acidic commercial flushing solution is
used, construct a temporary bypass around the
chiller to prevent damage to the internal
components of the evaporator.
2. Connect the water pipe to the chiller.
3. Install the drain plug, (if no drain is used) or ensure the
drain shutoff valve is closed.
4. While filling the chiller system with solution, vent the air
from the system at the highest points.
Note: To prevent possible damage to the
equipment, do not use untreated or improperly
treated water in the system.
Freeze Protection from Ambient Conditions
Use the procedure described below to ensure that the
chilled water system is adequately protected from freeze-up
in applications where the unit remains operational at subfreezing ambient temperatures and against ice formation at
the lowest expected operating temperatures by adding a
non-freezing, low-temperature, heat-transfer fluid to the
chilled water.
Ice making units with a termination setpoint of 27oF minimum entering chilled water temperature require a 25 percent glycol solution (minimum requirement by weight) to
provide system freeze protection.
For evaporator water capacities, refer to the “System StartUp” section. For the use and testing of the antifreeze solution, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

F. Heat tape power
Internal/External Piping Heat Tape
(Field Provided)
Install an appropriately sized non-unit powered fused disconnect switch for the heat tape when applying it to all exposed piping. Be sure to use heat tape that is recommended for low-temperature applications. It should be thermostatic controlled and dissipate 7 watts per linear foot. A
field installed thermostat must be installed if the heat tape
does not include a thermostat.
To install the heat tape properly, follow the instructions provided by the heat tape manufacturer. If no instructions are
provided, use the recommendations outlined below:
1. Wrap the heat tape around the pipe or apply it straight
along the pipe, as necessary, to provide the required protection. Refer to Tables 2A and 2B.
2. Use friction tape to secure the heat tape to the solution
pipe.
3. Place the thermostat parallel to the water pipe and tape it
tightly in place at both ends. Be sure to install the thermostat on the most exposed (i.e., coldest) portion of the
pipe.
4. Wrap the pipe with an insulation material and cover it
with a weatherproof tape (if additional protection is required). On vertical pipe runs, start the wrap at the bottom and work up as shown in Figure 10. Be sure to overlap the tape so that it will shed moisture.
Note: To prevent heat tape failure, frozen pipes,
and other unit damage, do not install insulation
under the weatherproof wrap if a non-thermostatic
controlled heat tape is used.

Field Installed Power Wiring
An overall dimensional layout for the field installed wiring
entrance into the unit is illustrated in Figure 2. To insure that
the unit’s supply power wiring is properly sized and installed, follow the guidelines outlined below.
Note: All field installed wiring must conform to NEC
guidelines as well as State and Local codes.
Verify that the power supply available is compatible with the
unit’s nameplate ratings. The available supply power must
be within 10% of the rated voltage stamped on the nameplate. Use only copper conductors to connect the 3-phase
power supply to the unit.
CAUTION
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of
conductors. Failure to use copper conductors may result in equipment damage.
Disconnect Switch External Handle
(Factory Mounted Option)
Units ordered with the factory mounted nonfused disconnect switch comes equipped with an externally mounted
handle. This allows the operator to disconnect power from
the unit without having to open the control panel door. The
handle locations and its three positions are shown below;
“ON” - Indicates that the disconnect switch is closed,
allowing the main power supply to be applied at the
unit.
“OFF” - Indicates that the disconnect switch is open,
interrupting the main power supply to the unit controls.
“OPEN COVER/RESET” - Turning the handle to this
position releases the handle form the disconnect
switch, allowing the control panel door to be opened.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Once the door has been opened, it can be closed with the
handle in any one of the three positions outlined above,
provided it matches the disconnect switch position.
An overall layout of the field required power wiring is illustrated in Figure 11. These diagrams are representative of
standard applications and are for general reference only. Always refer to the wiring diagram that shipped with the unit
for specific electrical schematic and connection information.

Load Definitions:LOAD 1 = CURRENT OF THE LARGEST MOTOR (COMPRESSOR OR FAN MOTOR)
LOAD 2 = SUM OF THE CURRENTS OF ALL REMAINING MOTORS
LOAD 4 = CONTROL POWER TRANSFORMER
Select a fuse rating equal to the MOP value. If the MOP value does not equal a standard fuse size as listed in NEC 240 - 6,
select the next lower standard fuse rating.
Note: If selected MOP is less than the MCA, then select the lowest standard maximum fuse size which is equal
to or larger than the MCA, provided the selected fuse size does not exceed 800 amps.
RDE = (1.5 x LOAD 1) + LOAD 2 + LOAD 4
Select a fuse rating equal to the RDE value. If the RDE value does not equal a standard fuse size as listed in NEC 240 - 6
select the next higher standard fuse rating.
Note: If the selected RDE is greater than the selected MOP value, then select the RDE value to equal the MOP
value.

Installation
Field Installed Control Wiring
Before installing any connecting wiring, refer to Figure 2 for
the electrical access locations provided on the unit. Install
appropriately sized control wiring for the 115 volt electrical
components as required by the application.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Since the unit-mounted 115V control power transformer
(1T1) and the 24V control power transformers (1T2, 1T3,
1T4) is provided on all units, it is not necessary to run a
separate 115 volt control circuit power source to the unit.
A separate field provided 15 Amp maximum 115V 60 Hz or
240V 50 Hz power source is required when the unit is
equipped with heat tape. Refer to the wiring diagrams that
shipped with the unit for proper connections.
Note: All field wiring must conform to NEC
guidelines as well as state and local codes.
Controls Using 115 VAC
Install appropriately sized 115 volt control wiring for the following electrical components.
Circulating Pump Interlock
Pump interlock wiring is the responsibility of the installer.
During compressor operation, the solution flow through the
chiller must be maintained. The field provided; 5S1 disconnect switch, 5K1 pump starter, 5K1 overloads (OL’s) must
be installed and properly wired as part of the system’s interlock circuit. Maximum contact rating @ 115 VAC is 1 amp
inductive. A Solution Pump binary output (Form A) relay is
located on the CGM which may be used to control the
chiller solution pump. Refer to the illustrations in Figures 11
and 12A for the typical “field wiring” interlock diagrams.
Controls using 24 VAC

Remote Running/Alarm Indicator (Optional)
If the remote run indication and alarm contacts are used, a
24 VAC control circuit must be provided between the Remote Running/Alarm Indicator panel and the appropriate
terminals located at the UCM. Maximum contact rating @
24 VAC is 10 Amp inrush and 3.2 Amp sealed. Refer to the
“field wiring” diagrams illustrated in Figure 12A. Provide a
proper remote panel ground connection.
External Auto/Stop (Optional)
If the unit utilizes an optional remote Auto/Stop function, the
installer must provide control wiring from the remote pump
relay contacts (5S67) to the appropriate terminals on 1TB4
terminal board.
When this set of contacts opens, the UCM reads it as a
command to stop chiller operation and begin the pumpdown
cycle (if enabled).
Circuit requirements are 2-wire, 24 VDC; w/maximum contact rating 12 mA. Refer to the field wiring diagram illustrated in Figure 12A for the termination points.
Flow Control Interlock (6S1)
The required flow switch is a binary output device and is
wired within the interlock circuit providing (required) chilled
water flow interlock diagnostic for the system. Before installing the control wiring, refer to Figure 2 for the electrical access into the control panel. Refer to the field connection
diagram for the specific connection points.
Provide a proper ground for all control circuitry at the
ground connection screws provided within the unit’s control
panel.
Controls using DC Analog Input/Outputs
(Standard Low Voltage Multiconductor Wire)
Before installing any connecting wiring between the unit
and components utilizing a DC analog input\output signal,
refer to Figure 2 for the electrical access locations provided
on the unit.
a. Table 6 lists the conductor sizing guidelines that
must be followed when interconnecting the DCbinary
output devices and the system components utilizing
a DC analog input\output signal to the unit.
33
Installation
Note: Resistance in excess of 2.5 ohms per
conductor can cause deviations in the accuracy of
the controls.
b. Ensure that the wiring between the binary and
analog controls and the unit’s termination point does
not exceed two and a half (2.5) ohms/conductor for
the length of the run.
c. Do not run the electrical wires transporting DC
signals in or around conduit housing high voltage
wires.

BAS/NETWORK Communication Link
This option allows the unit control module (UCM) in the unit
to exchange information (i.e., operating setpoints and
AUTO/STOP commands) with a higher level control device,
such as a Tracer or a third party BAS. Twisted-pair conductors establish the bi-directional communications link between the unit’s control module and Tracer or a third party
BAS.
Maximum Capacitance
Between Conductors
1. Refer to the Tracer installation literature to determine
proper communication link termination connections at the
Tracer unit. Multiple UCM’s on the communication link
can be connected in a “daisy chain” configuration.
2. Connect the shield of the communication link wiring to
the designated shield terminal at the Tracer 100.
3. Connect the shielded, twisted pair leads from the Tracer
to the proper terminals on the UCM. There is no polarity
requirement for this connection.
4. At the UCM, the shield should be cut off and taped to
prevent any contact between the shield and ground.
Note: On multiple unit installations, connect the
shield between each “daisy- chained” UCM in the
system to the shield of the twisted-pair leads going
to the next unit in line. Tape the spliced connection
to prevent any contact between the shield and
ground. At the last UCM on the link, the shield
should be cut off and taped.
Ice Building Control Option
The CGM provides auxiliary control for a customer specified/installed contact closure for ice making. When this field
installed normally open contact (5K86) is provided, the
chiller will run normally. Upon contact closure, the unit will
operate fully loaded until the entering water temperature
falls below the preprogrammed ice building setpoint. High
quality silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended.
The field supplied contacts must be compatible with 24
VDC, 12 mA resistive load.
Connect the 5K86 relay contacts to the proper terminals on
1TB4 as illustrated in Figure 12A.
Compressor Inhibit / KW Limit
When a unit is equipped with a TCI module, the Demand
Limit request is comunicated from Tracer. When a unit is
equipped with GBAS (0-5V and/or 0-10V), a customer provided/installed remote contact (5K89) initiates the demand
limit function. When the contact is “Open”, the chiller will
operate normally. When the contact closes, the unit will be
limited to the programmed operating capacity (25%, 50%,
75%, or 100%). When the contact opens, normal chiller operation is restored.
High quality silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended. These customer-supplied contacts must be compatible with 24 VDC, 12 mA resistive load. Refer to the wire
selection Table 6 for proper wire size and Figure 12B or Figure 12C for proper termination points.
Connect the wiring from the field supplied normally open
contacts between terminals 5 and 6 on 1TB16, if 0 - 5 Volt
GBAS is installed.
Connect the wiring from the field supplied normally open
contacts between terminals 1 and 2 on 1TB17, if 0 - 10 Volt
GBAS is installed.
Connect the wiring from the field supplied normally open
contacts between the proper terminals on 1TB16 and
1TB17 when both GBAS modules are installed. Refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram illustrated in Figure 12B and
Figure 12C for connections.

System Pre-Start Procedures
Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the
“General Unit Requirement” checklist” to ensure that the
unit is properly installed and ready for operation. Be sure to
complete all of the procedures described in this section before starting the unit for the first time.
[ ] Turn the field supplied disconnect switch, located up-
stream of the unit, to the “Off” position.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
[ ] Turn the “System” selection switch (at the Remote Panel)
to the “Off” position and the “Fan” selection switch (if applicable) to the “Auto” or “Off” position.
[ ] Check all electrical connections for tightness and “point
of termination” accuracy.
[ ] Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
[ ] Check the condenser fan blades. Ensure they rotate
freely within the fan orifices and are securely fastened to
the fan motor shaft.
[ ] Verify that all compressor service valves, discharge ser-
vice valves, and liquid line service valves are back
seated on each circuit.
WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to work with
live electrical components. Have a qualified licensed
electrician or other individual who has been properly
trained in handling live electrical components perform
these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical components
could result in death or serious injury.
Voltage Imbalance
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases
will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2%. Measure and
record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and calculate the amount of imbalance as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance =100 X
AV (Average Voltage) =
V1, V2, V3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the farthest from
the average voltage.
Example: If the voltage readings of the supply power
measured 221, 230, and 227, the average volts would
be:
221 + 230 + 227 = 226 Avg.

AV - VD where;
AV

CAUTION
Compressor Damage!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter the suction line.
Excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid lines may
result in compressor damage.
Compressor service valves must be fully opened before
start-up (suction, discharge, liquid line, and oil line).
Failure to fully open valves prior to start-up may cause
compressor failure due to lack of refrigerant and/or oil
flow.
[ ] Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris.
[ ] Fill the chilled water system.
[ ] Vent the chilled water system at the highest points in the
system. Vent the air out of the chiller barrel by opening
the vent, located on the top of the chiller barrel. Close
the vent when the chiller barrel is full of water.
[ ] Once the system has been filled, inspect the entire
chilled water piping system for leaks. Make any necessary repairs before proceeding.
Note: To avoid possible equipment damage, do not
use untreated or improperly treated system water.
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
226 - 221 = 2.2%
100 X
The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the maximum
allowable imbalance of 2.0%. This much imbalance between phases can equal as much as a 20% current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor winding temperatures that will decrease motor life. If the voltage imbalance
is over 2%, notify the proper agencies to correct the voltage
problem before operating this equipment.
226
Scroll Compressor Current Imbalance
Typically, current imbalance is associated with loss in motor
efficiency, higher operating motor temperature, loss of performance and reliability.
With the designs of specialized motors such as those used
in the Trane scroll compressor, operating temperature, efficiency, performance, and reliability has been taken into account in the total performance of the compressor.
Current imbalance in a scroll compressor can typically vary
from 4 to 15 percent with balanced line voltage. This imbalance occurs because not all of the winding turns see the
same amount of stator iron. The variance of iron within the
motor is to accommodate design requirements for motor
cooling and oil return.
39
System Pre-Start Procedures
At low operating voltage and high operating load, the imbalance may be around 4 percent. At high operating voltage
and low operating load, the imbalance may be as high as
15 percent.
If an imbalance situation is suspected within the compressor (current draw unequal between phases) and the line
voltage imbalance does not exceed 2 percent;
1. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch, located upstream of the unit to the “Off” position.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
2. Disconnect the compressor leads at the compressor terminals.
3. Measure the resistance of the compressor windings at
the compressor terminals.
The compressor motor is internally connected for clockwise
rotation with the incoming power supply phased as
A, B, C.
Proper electrical supply phasing can be quickly determined
and corrected before starting the unit by using an instrument such as an Associated Research Model 45 Phase Sequence Indicator and following the steps below:
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT AT TERMINAL BLOCK
1TB1 OR UNIT DISCONNECT SWITCH 1S14.
[ ] Turn the field supplied disconnect switch that provides
power to terminal block 1TB1 or to the unit mounted disconnect switch 1S14 to the “Off” position.
[ ] Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to terminal
block 1TB1 or to the unit mounted disconnect switch
1S14 as follows;
The actual resistance measured across each winding is
not as important as the amount of variation between the
windings. The actual resistance measured may vary due
to the accuracy of the meter, rounding off of the resistance readings, and the amount of resistance between
the meter leads and the compressor terminals.
Since the amount of copper in each winding is very consistent, the variance between the windings should not
exceed 7 percent.
Example: Typical 10 Ton, 460 volt, 60 Hz compressor has a
winding resistance of 1.44 to 1.09 Ohms.
Electrical Phasing
Unlike traditional reciprocating compressors, scroll compressors are phase sensitive. Proper phasing of the electrical supply to the unit is critical for proper operation and reliability.
Black (phase A)toL1
Red (phase B)toL2
Yellow (phase C)toL3
[ ] Close the disconnect switch or circuit protector switch
that provides the supply power to the unit’s terminal
block 1TB1 or the unit mounted disconnect switch 1S14.
[ ] Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the
face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will glow if
the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows, open
the disconnect switch or circuit protection switch and reverse any two power wires.
[ ] Restore the main electrical power and recheck the phas-
ing. If the phasing is correct, open the disconnect switch
or circuit protection switch and remove the phase sequence indicator.

System Start-Up
Sequence of Operation
Chiller Control for Comfort Applications
The CGM controls the leaving solution temperature (LST) to
within an adjustable setpoint using deadband control. The
CGM monitors the LST sensor and determines how far
away the temperature is from the leaving solution setpoint
(LSS). The compressors are staged On/Off depending on
where the LST is within the control deadband.
Deadband Calculation
The rate at which capacity stages are added or subtracted
is determined by a control algorithm The CGM control
deadband for comfort applications is a calculated value
based upon the control response setpoint, the difference
between LSS and LST, the number of capacity steps, the
design delta temperature (DDT) of the system, and the
number of capacity steps. The minimum comfort deadband
is 1 degree F. The maximum comfort deadband above or
below the LSS is 10 F for a two stage unit and 5
stage unit.
When the LST is inside the control deadband, the calculation is cleared and no response is initiated. When the LST
is outside the deadband and the calculated control algorithm value equals 1, a capacity add command is initiated.
Conversely, when the value of the control algorithm equals 1, a capacity subtract command is initiated. Once a capacity add or subtract command is given and a change in the
compressor staging has been detected, the value of the
control algorithm is reset to 0.
Chiller Freeze Protection
The CGM prevents evaporator fluid from freezing by utilizing two separate algorithms. One is the evaporator limit
control algorithm which stages compressors “Off” if violated
and the other is the evaporator freeze protection algorithm
which activates auto/manual diagnostics if violated. The
freeze protection function will always operate as long as the
unit is in the Auto mode for both normal cooling applications
and/or ice building modes. A manual reset diagnostic will
occur if all compressors are shut off due to a freeze protection violation.
The evaporator limit control integrator (ELCI) algorithm calculates a value based upon the low solution temperature
cutout setpoint and the leaving solution temperature. When
the value for ELCI drops below -1, the unit control will reduce the chiller capacity by staging down and/or inhibiting a
compressor from operation. After each capacity subtract
command from the capacity control algorithm is issued,
ELCI is increased by 1 and retained. The ELCI is set to 0
any time the leaving solution temperature is greater than or
equal to the low solution temperature cutout (LSC) + 3
Compressors will be prevented from operating until the
leaving solution temperature (LST) is 4
o
F above the LSC.
If Pumpdown is enabled and a subtract command is issued,
the circuit will be allow to pumpdown.
If HGBP is enabled (Pumpdown is disabled) and a subtract
command is sent by the ELCI, HGBP operation will be initiated before the last compressor is turned “Off”. Once HGBP
has been initiated, all subtract commands sent by the ELCI
will be ignored. If the Leaving Solution Temperature (LST) is
less than the Low Solution Cutout (LSC) + 1
ther prevented from operating or turned “Off”.

Evaporator Freeze Protection Diagnostic
The evaporator freeze protection integrator (EFZ) will start
integrating when the leaving solution temperature or entering solution temperature is less than the low solution temperature cutout setpoint. Once EFZ integrates up to 30 Sec,
the following diagnostics will occur:
1. If all compressors are off, an auto diagnostic will occur.
All of the compressors will be prevented from operating
until the LST and/or ESTis 4oF greater than the LSC.
Once the LST and/or EST is 4oF above the LSC, the unit
will allow normal unit operation.
2. If any compressors are “On”, a manual diagnostic will occur. All of the compressors will be shutdown and locked
out due to the violation of the evaporator freeze protection.
Sequence of Operation
Chiller Control for Ice Building Mode
The CGM provides Ice Building control when a customer
provided field installed binary input is connected to the
CGM or requested by Tracer (TCI only).
Ice Building can be activated by:
Closing the customer provided field installed remote
device, or
Ice building requested by Tracer (TCI only), provided;
Ice machine option is installed, and
Ice building is enabled through the Human Interface
Module
The optional Ice building machine has two ice building
modes:
1. One Time Ice Build Mode
Once the ice building mode is initiated, the unit will run
fully loaded until the entering solution temperature (EST)
equals the ice building termination setpoint (IBTS). After
the IBTS is reached, the unit will transition into the “Ice
Building Complete” mode and turn all compressors “Off”
and the solution pump “Off” (if pump mode is in “Auto”).
The unit will remain in the ice build complete status until
the unit is cycled out of the “Ice Building” mode.
2. Continuous Ice Build Mode
Once the ice building mode is initiated, the unit will run
fully loaded until the EST equals the IBTS. After the EST
reaches the IBTS, the unit will transition into the “Ice Rebuild Delay” mode and turn all compressors “Off” and the
solution pump “Off” (if pump mode is in “Auto”). The unit
will remain in the ice rebuild delay status until the Ice Rebuild Delay Timer (IRDT) expires. Once the IRDT time
expires the unit will transition to the “Loop Stabilization”
state and turn the solution pump “On” (if pump mode is in
“Auto”). Once the loop stabilization timer has expired, the
unit will transition into the ice building mode and will run
fully loaded until the IBTS is reached. After the IBTS is
reached, the unit will transition into the “Ice Rebuild Delay” mode again. The unit will continue to cycle through
the ice building, ice rebuild delay and loop stabilization
states until the unit is cycled out of the ice building mode
or the continuous ice building mode is changed to the
one time ice building mode.
41
System Start-Up
Ice Building can be terminated by:
Opening the customer provided field installed remote
device, or
Ice building stopped from ICS communications.
If at any time the unit is switched from the Ice Building
mode to normal comfort operation, the unit will transition to
ice building complete status and stage all operating compressors “Off”.
Sequence of Operation
Chiller Control for Process Applications
Process applications are characterized as having fast
changes in load and these loads are not adequately controlled with the same scheme used for comfort applications.
To provide better control of these dynamic loads, a Proportional + Integral “control to setpoint” (as opposed to “control
to deadband”) control strategy is used. System reliability is
inversely proportional to compressor cycle rates so reliability is the driving factor for determining maximum cycle rate
which ultimately translates into cycle-to-cycle leaving solution temperature swings.
To provide stable capacity control, a 1 minute minimum time
between compressor starts is required. The control will determine an estimate of instantaneous load based on error
from setpoint for the leaving solution temperature and cycle
the appropriate compressor stage to best match the calculated load.
The CGM calculates the Load Value by applying PI calculations to the instantaneous error value. The Load Value consists of an integer part and a fractional part. The integer
part represents which compressor stages are locked “On”
and the fractional part represents the duty cycle required for
the next higher compressor stage. For a 4 compressor unit,
the Load Value will range from 0.0 to 4.0. For a 2 compressor unit, the Load Value will range from 0.0 to 2.0.

Where Load Value Fraction = Fractional part of the calculated Load Value.
Sequence of Operation
Leaving Solution Reset (LSR)
Leaving Solution Reset (LSR) refers to the process of adjusting the Leaving Solution Setpoint (LSS) based on an external temperature.
When the optional Leaving Solution Reset (LSR) feature is
used, the CGM will automatically adjust the LSS in response to a temperature change from one of three different
temperature sensor:
1. Zone Temperature sensor
2. Outside Air Temperature sensor
3. Entering Solution Temperature sensor.
The reset temperature value (Start Temperature), to start
resetting the Leaving Solution Setpoint (LSS) and the maximum amount of reset to be applied to the LSS is programmable through the Human Interface. The reset amount applied to the LSS is a linear calculation between the Start
Temperature and the End Temperature. After the reset
amount has been calculated, it is added to the Leaving Solution Setpoint to create the Leaving Solution Reset
Setpoint. If the solution temperature is above the selected
Start Temperature, the reset amount is zero. If the solution
temperature is below the End Temp, the maximum amount
of reset is applied. For reset type ‘None’, the amount of reset is zero. Refer to the appropriate reset type in Table 5-1
for reset schedules.
Duty Cycle Calculations calculate the duty cycle based on
the calculated Load Value Fraction:

Sequence of Operation
Lead/Lag (Standard)
When Lead-Lag is enabled, for each capacity add request,
the CGM will begin sequencing the compressors “On” that
have:
a. the least number of starts; or,
b. the least run time (if number of starts are equal)
At each capacity subtract request, the CGM will begin sequencing the compressors “Off” that have:
a. the most run time; or,
b. the least number of starts (if more than one
compressor has the same run time)
If a compressor is locked out for any reason when a capacity add request occurs, the next available compressor which
meets the specified criteria will be started.
If a compressor can not be turned “Off” due to the minimum
“On Time”, the next compressor which meets the specified
criteria will be turned “Off”.
On dual circuit units, as the first two capacity add requests
are initiated, one compressor on each circuit will start before any additional compressors on any circuit is started.
When staging down from three compressor stages to two
compressor stages, the CGM will turn a compressor “Off”
on the circuit that has the most compressors operating.

Start Temperature
Range 4 - 19
Factory Preset = 10
When the UCM is powered up (after a power loss), or any
time the compressor’s start time and run time are equal, the
number one (Lead) designated compressor will be the first
“On” and the number two (lag) designated compressor will
be the first “Off” on single circuit units (20 - 30 Tons).
For dual circuit units (40 through 60 Tons), the “On” sequence will be A-C-B-D and the “Off” sequence will be D-BC-A under the previously described conditions. Refer to Figure 16 for compressor locations.
Temperature
Sequence of Operation
Hot Gas Bypass (HGBP)
The Hot Gas Bypass (HGBP) option prevents compressor
short cycling. The HGBP option can only be installed on circuit #1. With HGBP installed and enabled, the unit will always stage the circuit #1 compressors “On” first, if operable
and stage them “Off” last. Hot Gas Bypass is never initiated
when staging compressors “On” (adding capacity), only
when staging compressors “Off”.
HGBP is initiated when the last compressor on circuit #1 is
operating, and the capacity control algorithm generates a
subtract command.
Sequence of Operation
Condenser Fan Control
The CGM condenser fan control logic is dependent on the
number of compressors operating per circuit and the saturated condensing temperature. Fan logic is not initiated until
the low ambient start time has elapsed.
The Lead/Lag function is ignored (treated as disabled)
when the Hot Gas Bypass option is installed and enabled.
The condenser fan contactors, located in the unit control
panel, initiate fan operation when energized. Refer to Figure 15 for the condenser fan locations and fan contactor
designators.

Low Ambient Dampers
Low Ambient Dampers are available as a factory installed
option or can be field-installed. Dampers are used to extend
the operation of these units from the standard operational
temperatures to a minimum of 0oF without hot gas bypass
o
or 10
F with hot gas bypass. (These values apply when
wind speed across the condenser coil is less than 5 m.p.h.).
If typical wind speeds are higher than 5 m.p.h., a wind
screen around the unit may be required. By restricting the
airflow across the condenser coils, saturated condensing
temperatures can be maintained as the ambient temperatures change.
The low ambient damper actuator controls damper modulation for each refrigerant circuit in response to saturated condensing temperature.
Chilled Water Circulating Pump
Once the system has been filled, complete the following
chilled water system start-up procedures.

Rotating Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product it may be necessary to measure the
speed of rotating components. Have a qualified or licensed service individual who has been properly
trained in handling exposed rotating components, perform these tasks. Failure to follow all safety precautions when exposed to rotating components could result in death or serious injury.
7. Press the TEST START key to start the test. Remember
that the delay designated in step 7 must elapse before
the pump will begin to operate.
Note: Pump operation is dependent upon proper
solution flow proving switch operation. Please see
section titled "Loss-Of Flow Protection: under
General Information for details.
8. To balance the flow through the evaporator, adjust the
flow rates between the minimum and maximum values
given in Table 9. Flow rates above or below these values
can cause equipment damage or improper unit operation.
9. Check the flow device (if applicable) on the evaporator
outlet piping to ensure it opens and closes properly.
10. Measure the evaporator water pressure drop at the system pressure gauge(s). Compare the readings to the
pressure drop values given in Figure 13.
Note: Evaporator pressure drop is an
approximation and is to be used as a tool to
estimate flow rate and as an aid to waterside
system piping design. If an accurate measurement
of flow is required, a flow meter must be installed
in the system.
Ethylene Glycol Adjustment Factor
The addition of ethylene glycol to the chilled water system
reduces unit capacity. To determine the pressure drop of a
glycol solution system, obtain the pressure drop adjustment
factor from the chart in Figure 14 and multiply it times the
pressure drop of a water system without glycol, i.e:

Compressor Start-Up
1. Ensure that the main power disconnect switch and the
control power disconnect switch for the “System Solution
Pump” is “On”.
2. Before closing the main power disconnect switch for the
unit, ensure that the compressor discharge service valve
and the liquid line service valve for each circuit is back
seated.
CAUTION
Compressor Damage!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter the suction line.
Excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid lines may
result in compressor damage.
Compressor service valves must be fully opened before
start-up (suction, discharge, liquid line, and oil line).
Failure to fully open valves prior to start-up may cause compressor failure due to lack of refrigerant and/or oil flow.

rotating backwards, it will not pump and a loud rattling
sound can be observed. Check the electrical phasing at
the load side of the compressor contactor.
If the phasing is correct, before condemning the compressor, interchange any two leads to check the internal
motor phasing. Refer to the illustration in Figure 17 for
the compressor terminal identification. If the compressor
runs backward for an extended period (15 to 30 minutes), the motor windings can over heat and cause the
motor winding thermostats to open. This will cause a
“compressor trip” diagnostic and stop the compressor.
15. Verify that the oil level in each compressor is correct.
The oil level may be down to the bottom of the sightglass
but should never be above the sightglass.

a. At the liquid line service valve, measure the liquid
line pressure. Using a Refrigerant 22 pressure /
temperature chart, convert the pressure reading into
the corresponding saturated temperature.
b. Measure the actual liquid line temperature as close
to the liquid line service valve as possible. To ensure
an accurate reading, clean the line thoroughly where
the temperature sensor will be attached. After
securing the sensor to the line, insulate the sensor
and line to isolate it from the ambient air.
Note: Glass thermometers do not have sufficient
contact area to give an accurate reading.

actual liquid line temperature (measured in b) from
the saturated liquid temperature (converted in a).
a. How well the expansion valve is controlling the
refrigerant flow.

b. The efficiency of the evaporator.
c. The amount of protection the compressor is
receiving against flooding or overheating.
The recommended range for superheat is 10 to 16 degrees
at the evaporator. Systems operating with less than 10 degrees of superheat:
a. Could cause serious compressor damage due to
refrigerant floodback.
b. Removes working surface from the evaporator
normally used for heat transfer.
Systems operating with superheat in excess of 16 degrees:
a. Could cause excessive compressor cycling on
internal winding thermostat which leads to
compressor motor failure.
b. Lowers the efficiency of the evaporator by reducing
the heat transfer capability.
Measuring Superheat
a. Measure the suction pressure at the suction line
gauge access port located near the compressor.

b. Using a Refrigerant / Temperature chart, convert the
pressure reading to a corresponding saturated vapor
temperature.
c. Measured the suction line temperature as close to
the expansion valve bulb, as possible.
d. Subtract the saturated vapor temperature obtained in
step b from the actual suction line temperature
obtained in step c. The difference between the two
temperatures is known as “superheat”.
Note: When adjusting superheat, recheck the
system subcooling before shutting the system

8. Press the STOP key at the Human Interface Module in
the unit control panel to stop the system operation.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for the number 2 refrigeration
circuit.
10. After shutting the system off, check the compressor’s
oil’s appearance. Discoloration of the oil indicates that an
abnormal condition has occurred. If the oil is dark and
smells burnt, it has overheated because of: compressor
is operating at extremely high condensing temperatures;
high superheat; a compressor mechanical failure; or, occurrence of a motor burnout.
If the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a mechanical
failure has occurred. This symptom is often accompanied
by a high compressor amperage draw.
If a motor burnout is suspected, use an acid test kit to
check the condition of the oil. Test results will indicate an
acid level exceeding 0.05 mg KOH/g if a burnout occurred.
Compressor Oil
The scroll compressor uses
tution. The appropriate oil charge for a 9 and 10 Ton scroll
compressor is 8.5 pints. For a 14 and 15 Ton scroll compressor, use 13.8 pints.

Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater and
is controlled by a 600 volt auxiliary switch on the compressor contactor. The proper operation of the crankcase heater
is important to maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during the "Off" cycle to reduce oil foaming during
compressor starts.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil rapidly
causing the oil to foam. This condition could damage compressor bearings dur to reduced lubrication and could
cause compressor mechanical failures.
When power has been "Off" for an extended period, allow
the crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours before starting the unit.
Low Ambient Damper Adjustment
(Factory or Field Installed)
When a unit is ordered with the low ambient option (i.e., a
“W” in the miscellaneous digit of the model number), a
damper is factory installed over the lead condenser fan for
each refrigeration circuit. Refer to the appropriate unit illustrated in Figure 15 for the damper locations.
For field installation, mount the dampers over the condenser fans at the locations shown in Figure 15 and connect the actuator, controller, and sensor for each circuit.
(Refer to the Installation Instructions provided with each low
ambient damper kit.)
The UCM has a factory default setpoint of 90

Service & Maintenance
Compressor Operational Sounds
Because of the scroll compressor design, it emits a higher
frequency tone (sound) than a reciprocating compressor. It
is designed to accommodate liquids, both oil and refrigerant, without causing compressor damage. The following discussion describes some of the operational sounds that differentiate it from those typically associated with a reciprocating compressor. These sounds do not affect the operation or reliability of the compressor.
At Shutdown:
When a scroll compressor shuts down, the gas within the
scroll expands and causes momentary reverse rotation until
the discharge check valve closes. This results in a “flutter”
type sound.
At Low Ambient Start-Up
When the compressor starts up under low ambient conditions, the initial flow rate of the compressor is low due to the
low condensing pressure. This causes a low differential
across the thermal expansion valve that limits its capacity.
Under these conditions, it is not unusual to hear the compressor rattle until the suction pressure climbs and the flow
rate increases.
Scroll Compressor Replacement
Table 12 lists the specific compressor electrical data and
the circuit breaker operating ranges.
The scroll compressor uses
tution. The appropriate oil charge for a 9 and 10 Ton scroll
compressor is 8.5 pints. For a 14 and 15 Ton scroll compressor, use 13.8 pints.
Note: Do Not release refrigerant to the
atmosphere! If adding or removing refrigerant is
required, the service technician must comply with
all Federal, State and local laws. Refer to general
service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Note: Refrigerant oil is detrimental to some roofing
materials. Care must be taken to protect the roof
from oil leaks or spills.

Service & Maintenance
Coil Cleaning
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning, enhances the unit’s operating efficiency by minimizing:
compressor head pressure and amperage draw;
evaporator water carryover;
fan brake horsepower, due to increase static pressure
losses;
airflow reduction.
At least once each year, or more often if the unit is located
in a “dirty” environment, clean the evaporator and condenser coils using the instructions outlined below. Be sure
to follow these instructions as closely as possible to avoid
damaging the coils.
To clean refrigerant coils, use a soft brush and a sprayer
(either a garden pump-up type or a high-pressure sprayer).
A high-quality detergent is also required; suggested brands
include “SPREX A.C.”, “OAKITE 161”, “OAKITE 166” and
“COILOX”. If the detergent selected is strongly alkaline (ph
value exceeds 8.5), add an inhibitor.
WARNING
Hazardous Chemicals!
Coil cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly alkaline. Handle chemical carefully. Proper handling should
include goggles or face shield, chemical resistant
gloves, boots, apron or suit as required. For personal
safety refer to the cleaning agent manufacturer’s Materials Safety Data Sheet and follow all recommended
safe handling practices. Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in death or serious injury.
5. Pour the cleaning solution into the sprayer. If a high-pressure sprayer is used:
a. do not allow sprayer pressure to exceed 600 psi.
b. the minimum nozzle spray angle is 15 degrees.
c. maintain a minimum clearance of 6" between the
sprayer nozzle and the coil.
d. spray the solution perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to
the coil face.
6. Spray the leaving-airflow side of the coil first; then spray
the opposite side of the coil. Allow the cleaning solution
to stand on the coil for five minutes.
7. Rinse both sides of the coil with cool, clean water.
8. Inspect both sides of the coil; if it still appears to be dirty,
repeat Steps 6 and 7. Do not spray cleaner in heavy
winds to prevent overspray from possible contacting
other building components and other adjacent objects
such as automobiles etc. Flush coil cleaners from all surfaces thoroughly to prevent possible damage.
9. Reinstall all of the components and panels removed in
Step 1 and any protective covers installed in step 2.
10. Restore the unit to it’s operational status and check system operation.
System operation
[ ] Close the main power disconnect switch for the unit and
all system support equipment. Turn all system control circuit switches to the “On” position.
1. Remove enough panels from the unit to gain access to
the coil.
2. Protect all electrical devices such as motors and controllers from any over spray.
3. Straighten any bent coil fins with a fin comb.
4. Mix the detergent with water according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If desired, heat the solution
o
to 150
F maximum to improve its cleansing capability.
CAUTION
Compressor Damage!
Contains Refrigerant!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter the suction line.
Excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid lines may
result in compressor damage.
Do not heat the detergent-and-water solution above
o
F. Hot liquids sprayed on the exterior of the coil
150
will raise the coil’s internal pressure and may cause it
to burst.
Note: Refrigerant oil is detrimental to some roofing
materials. Care must be taken to protect the roof
from oil leaks or spills.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Rotating Parts!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Record this data on an “operator’s maintenance log”
similar to the one illustrated in the “Final Setup” section
of this manual. If the operating pressures indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure the system Superheat and
system Subcooling. For guidelines, refer to the “system
Start-Up” section.
Note: Do Not release refrigerant to the
atmosphere! If adding or removing refrigerant is
required, the service technician must comply with
all federal, state and local laws. Refer to general
service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).

Service & Maintenance
Annual Maintenance
[ ] Perform all weekly and monthly maintenance proce-
dures.
[ ] Have a qualified service technician check the setting and
function of each control and inspect the condition of and
replace compressor and control contactors if needed.
[ ] If chiller is not piped to drain facilities, make sure drain is
clear to carry away system water.
[ ] Drain water from evaporator and associated piping sys-
tems. Inspect all piping components for leakage, damage, etc. Clean out any in-line water strainers.
[ ] Clean and repaint any corroded surface.
[ ] Check low ambient dampers for proper operation.
[ ] Clean condenser coils. Refer to "Coil Cleaning".
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
[ ] Inspect the expansion valve sensing bulbs for cleanli-
ness. Clean if required. Sensing bulbs must make good
contact with suction lines and be properly insulated.
Final Process
For future reference, you may find it helpful to record the
unit data requested below in the blanks provided.
[ ] Clean condenser fans. Check fan assemblies for proper
orifice clearance and for motor shaft mis-alignment, abnormal end-play or vibration and noise.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product it may be necessary to measure the
speed of rotating components. Have a qualified or licensed service individual who has been properly
trained in handling exposed rotating components, perform these tasks. Failure to follow all safety precautions when exposed to rotating components could result in death or serious injury.
