Comp. 1 min cap.

*:  For scroll and CRII

Minimum capacity in the time period (without a minimum capacity the compressor 

will not be cooled)

Min: 10%

Max: 50%

Fac: 10%

Comp. 1 start cap

*:  For scroll and CRII

Start capacity: the compressor will only start when the capacity requirement reaches  

the value

Min: 10%

Max: 60%

Fac: 30%

Comp. 1 Sd temp.

*, **:  For “Scroll”, “Stream” and CRII

Define whether the controller should monitor the discharge gas temperature Sd from the 

compressor (NTC 86K or Pt 1000 Ohm).

AI-demand

No / Yes

Fac: No

Comp. 1 Sd max.

*, **:  For Scroll, Stream, CRII and yes to “Comp.1 Sd temp”

Set the maximum Sd temperature

Min: 0°C

Max: 195°C

Fac: 125°C

No.of unloaders

****:  For compressor with unloaders

Set how many unloaders there are on the compressor 

DO-demand

Min: 1

Max: 3 

Fac: 1

Comp. safety input

Compressor safety circuit

Define whether a DI input should be reserved for registration of each compressor safety 

circuit

DI-demand

Yes /No

Fac: Yes

LP switch via DI

Low pressure safety circuit

Define whether a DI input should be reserved for registration of the signal from an LP switch

DI-demand

Yes /No

Fac: No

Load shedding via DI

Load limitation

Define whether a DI input should be reserved for registration of the signal from  

a power meter

•  None:

•  DI: Load limitation must follow a DI input

•  Night Mode: Load limitation must follow the status of the day/night signal.  

(The day/night signal can be received via a DI input, via time schedule or network.)

DI-demand

Yes /No

Fac: No

Sd disch. gas temp.

Shared discharge temperature

Define whether signals from a common Sd sensor on the suction line (Pt 1000) should be 

received

AI-demand

Yes /No

Fac: No

Ss suction superheat

Monitoring of superheat

Define whether a signal from a common Ss sensor on the suction line should be received

AI-demand

Yes /No

Fac: No

Injection ON fct.

Stop injection into evaporators

If the compressors are prevented from starting, stop injection into the evaporators.

Here define whether the function should be active and how the signal should be  

communicated.

No: The function is not used

Network: The controller sends a signal to the system unit, which then forwards it to  

the evaporator controls

Relay: The function reserves a relay that pulls in if all compressors are stopped.  

All evaporator controls must be wired to this signal from the relay.

DO-demand

No /Network /Relay

Fac: No

Compressor timers

Compressor timers

Lead comp. Min ON

Min. On-time for first compressor

Set a forced On-time here during which the compressor will remain in operation before it  

can be switched off again. The setting is to prevent incorrect operation. 

To prevent a compressor breakdown, the setting must be made in accordance with the 

requirements of the compressor supplier.

Min:  0 min

Max:  60 min

Fac: 0 min

Lead comp. Min OFF

Min. Off-time for first compressor

Set the forced Off-time during which the compressor must be off before it can be switched 

on again. The setting is to prevent incorrect operation.

Min:  0 min.

Max: 30 min

Fac: 0 min

Lead comp. Restart

Min. period of time for re-starting the first compressor. 

Set the forced Off-time during which the compressor must be off before it can be switched 

on again. The setting is to prevent incorrect operation.

To prevent a compressor breakdown, the setting must be made in accordance with the 

requirements of the compressor supplier.

Min:  1 min.

Max:  60 min

Fac: 4 min

Lead comp. Safety 

delay

Delay time before compressor no. 1 cut out for reasons of safety

The time begins when a signal is received on the DI input (configure the DI input via  

“Configuration” and “Comp. safety inlet”).

Min:  1 min.

Max:  10 min

Fac: 1 min

Comp. Min ON

Min. On-time for remaining compressors

Set a forced On-time here during which the compressor will remain in operation before it  

can be switched off again. The setting is to prevent incorrect operation.

Min:  0 min.

Max:  60 min

Fac: 0 min

Comp. Min OFF

Min. Off-time for remaining compressors

Set the forced Off-time during which the compressor must be off before it can be switched 

on again. The setting is to prevent incorrect operation.

Min:  0 min.

Max:  30 min

Fac: 0 min

Comp. Restart

Min. period of time for restarting remaining compressors 

Set the forced Off-time during which the compressor must be off before it can be  

switched on again. The setting is to prevent incorrect operation.

Min:  1 min.
