AGZ 010B through 034B 

IOMM AGZB1 

Overview 

The MicroTech II controller’s state-of-the-art design will not only permit the chiller to run 
more  efficiently,  but  will  also  simplify  troubleshooting  if  a  system  failure  occurs.    Every 
MicroTech  II  controller  is  programmed  and  tested  prior  to  shipment  to  contribute  to  a 
trouble-free start-up. 

Release Version  

This manual covers Software Release AGZ SU0102D 

Operator-friendly 

The  MicroTech  II  controller’s  menu  structure  is  separated  into  three  distinct  categories, 
which  provide  the  operator  or  service  technician  with  a  full  description  of  current  unit 
status, control parameters, and alarms.  Security protection prevents unauthorized changing 
of the setpoints and control parameters. 

The  MicroTech  II  controller  continuously  performs  self-diagnostic  checks,  monitoring 
system temperatures, pressures and protection devices, and will automatically shut down a 
compressor  or  the  entire  unit  should  a  fault  occur.    The  cause  of  the  shutdown  will  be 
retained in memory and can be easily displayed in plain English for operator review.  The 
MicroTech II chiller controller will also retain and display the time the fault occurred.  In 
addition  to  displaying  alarm  diagnostics,  the  MicroTech  II  chiller  controller  also  provides 
the operator with a warning of limit (pre-alarm) conditions. 

Staging 

The  two  scroll  compressors  are  staged  on  and  off  as  a  function  of  leaving  chilled  water 
temperature.  Lead/lag is automatic and switched every ten starts. 

General Description 

Compressor Motor Protection  

The  solid-state  compressor  motor  protector  module  incorporates  a  2-minute  “time-off” 
relay utilizing the bleed-down capacitor principle.  Any time the protection system opens or 
power  to  the  module  is  interrupted,  the  2-minute  “time-off”  delay  is  triggered  and  the 
module  will  not  reset  for  two  minutes.    Once  the  2-minute  period  has  passed  the  motor 
protector contacts M1 and M2 reset, provided the protection system is satisfied and power 
is applied to the module. 

Note:

  If  the  power  circuit  is  broken  once  the  2-minute  period  is  passed,  the  pilot 

circuit will reset without delay when power is reapplied. 

AGZ 010: 

The model AGZ 010

 

compressor has internal line breakage with automatic reset. 

FanTrol Head Pressure Control 

FanTrol  is  the  standard  method  of  head  pressure  control  that  automatically  cycles  the 
condenser fan motors in response to condenser pressure.  This function is controlled by the 
microprocessor,  maintains  head  pressure  and  allows  the  unit  to  run  at  low  ambient  air 
temperatures down to 35

°

F (1.7
