The process measuring is set as temperature in this example.

The screen shown in Figure 42 allows the user to determine if the process sensor is measuring a temperature value or a

pressure value. Note that this setting will be set at the factory and should not require modification. For fluid coolers, the default

setting will be 

Temperature

and for condensers the default setting will be 

Pressure

Figure 43

The refrigerant is chosen as R22 in this example.

If the eco-Air unit is a condenser, and the process measuring is set as 

Pressure

in Figure 42, the screen shown in Figure 43 will

be shown. When the EVAPCO Controller ships from the factory, the proper refrigerant for the application is already

programmed. Refer to Table 9 for a list of the available refrigerants. If the desired refrigerant is not listed in Table 9, a custom

refrigerant may be selected by selecting
