Communication Cables
The communication transmission cables have the following
electrical characteristics:
• 2 signal conductors and one ground conductor of 20 AWG
or larger, 100% shielded
• One tinned copper braid (65% coverage)
Recommended cables are shown below:
To avoid potential interference, route communication cables
between the starter and the chiller control panels as far away as
possible from high voltage cable and other likely disturbances.
Always separate communication cables from other cables and
always run wiring as directly as possible.
Sensors
PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS
Pressure transducers measure and control the pressures in the
unit. These electronic sensors deliver 0 to 5 VDC. The trans-
ducers can be calibrated through the controller. The pressure
transducers are connected to the IOBs. See Table 7.
TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The system uses electronic sensors to measure and control the
temperatures in the unit. There are three types of temperature
sensors: 5K thermistor, 10K thermistor, and RTD (resistance
temperature detector, 100 ohm, 3-wire) based on IOB channel
configurations. The temperature sensor range is –40°F (–40°C)
to 245°F (118°C). See Table 8.
Controls Outputs
EVAPORATOR/CONDENSER WATER PUMP
The controller regulates the evaporator/condenser water pump.
Note that Carrier requires full or parallel pump control.
INLET GUIDE VANE
The inlet guide vane adjusts the refrigerant vapor flow into the
compressor to adapt to change in the operating conditions of the
machine. To adjust the refrigerant flow, the guide vane opens or
closes to vary the cross-section of the refrigerant path. The high
degree of accuracy with which the guide vane is positioned en-
sures that the flow of refrigerant is precisely controlled.
ECONOMIZER ISOLATION VALVE (OPTION)
The economizer is an on/off valve that shuts off the economiz-
er gas vent line leading to the second stage of the compressor.
ECONOMIZER LIQUID BYPASS VALVE (OPTION)
The economizer liquid bypass valve is opened if lift difference
between condenser and evaporator is small. When the valve is
open liquid refrigerant can bypass the economizer and flow di-
rectly from the condenser to the evaporator and thereby avoid
the pressure loss associated with the economizer.
ENVELOPE CONTROL VALVE
The modulating Envelope Control valve artificially loads the
chiller and keeps it running under low load conditions or helps
to prevent surge conditions. Since this function can also reduce
the operating efficiency of the machine, this is a user-selectable
and configurable option.
VFD
The VFD modifies motor frequency to allow compressor start-up
and capacity control. The VFD controls continually monitor pa-
rameters to ensure compressor protection. If a problem occurs, the
controller triggers an alarm and the compressor is stopped.
FREE COOLING VALVE (OPTION)
The free cooling control allows the chiller to provide cooling
without running the compressor. The free cooling vent valve is
opened, allowing the refrigerant to bypass the compressor and
go straight from the evaporator to the condenser. This control
mode can only be used when the chiller is OFF and the external
air temperature is low enough to support this operation.
TOWER FAN HIGH/LOW
The controls provide optional fan tower control by a 24 VAC
output for tower fan low and another for tower fan high speed.

USER INTERFACE
The PIC6 Human Machine Interface (HMI) is a color 10.4-in.
TFT touch screen. Navigation is either direct from the touch
screen interface or by connecting to a web interface at the
Ethernet IP port of the controller. The navigation menus are the
same for both connection methods.
Web Connection
Two web connections may be authorized at the same time. When
two users are connected simultaneously, there is no priority be-
tween users; that is, the last modification is in effect regardless
of the user. Connection is from a personal computer using a
