5  CONTROL OPERATION

5.1 - Start/stop control

The table below summarises the unit control type and stop 
or go status with regard to the following parameters.
• 

Operating type: this is selected using the start/stop 
button on the front of the user interface.

 

LOFF: local off , L-C: local on, L-SC: local schedule, REM: 
remote, CCN: network, MAST: Master

• 

Remote start/stop contacts: these contacts are used 
when the unit is in remote operating type (Remote). See 
sections 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.

• 

CHIL_S_S: this network command relates to the unit 
start/stop when the unit is in network mode (CCN).

• 

Command set to Stop: the unit is halted. 

• 

Command set to Start: the unit runs in accordance with 
schedule 1.

• 

Start/Stop schedule: occupied or unoccupied status of 
the unit as determined by the chiller start/stop program 
(Schedule 1).

• 

Master control type. This parameter is used when the 
unit is the master unit in a two chiller lead/lag arrange-
ment. The master control type determines whether the 
unit is to be controlled locally, remotely or through CCN 
(this parameter is a Service confi guration).

• 

CCN emergency shutdown: if this CCN command is 
activated, it shuts the unit down whatever the active 
operating type.

• 

General alarm: the unit is totally stopped due to failure.

5.2 - Heating/cooling/standby operation

5.2.1 - General

The heating/cooling/standby selection applies to all units. 
But only liquid chiller units, controlling a boiler can change 
over to heating mode. Heating/cooling control can be 
automatic or manual.

In automatic mode the outdoor temperature determines the 
heating/cooling/standby changeover based on the two 
threshold values confi gured by the user (see RESETCFG menu 
for cooling and heating mode changeover thresholds). 

If the unit is in standby it does not cool or heat, and no 
compressor can be activated. The diagram below summarises 
the operating principle in automatic mode.
