1.1 INTRODUCTION
A. This manual covers portable chillers from 1.5 and 10 horsepower of cooling capacity
using the Advantage MG microprocessor control instrument and fixed displacement scroll
compressors or digital scroll compressors. The standard fluid operating temperature
range for this chiller is 20°F to 60°F for units using R410A refrigerant. Units using other
refrigerants have different standard operating ranges. Units operating below 48°F fluid
require the use of a water/propylene glycol to prevent freezing. Customized units may
have different operating ranges. Consult the factory if you have questions about the
operating range of your chiller.
B. The intent of this manual is to serve as a guide in the installation, operation and
maintenance of your chiller. Improper installation can lead to equipment damage
and poor performance. Failure to follow the installation, operation and maintenance
instructions may result in damage to the unit that is not covered under the limited
warranty. This manual is for standard products. The information contained in this manual
is intended to be general in nature. The information is typical only and may not represent

C. Chemical refrigerants are used in this unit. The refrigerant is sealed and tested in a
pressurized system however a system failure will release it. Refrigerant gas can cause
toxic fumes if exposed to fire. Install this unit in a well-ventilated area away from open
flames. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a hazardous condition. Recover
refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the system. See nameplate for refrigerant
type. Do not use non-approved refrigerants or refrigerant substitutes.
D. Customers should implement a refrigerant management program to document the type
and quantity of refrigerant in each chiller. All refrigeration service technicians performing
work on this chiller must be licensed and certified.
E. When calling for assistance from the Manufacturer’s Service Department, it is important
