After setup, the Kelvin II defaults to showing the Superheat 

value. The user can then turn the knob to view the other pro-

cess values of their system. The screen will alternate between 

the process values identity and value alternating every 3 sec-

onds. For ease of use, the value that is displayed for a process 

value may come in the form of text to eliminate the need of 

‘looking up the meaning’. The menu text and meanings for 

process values are described in Table 2.
The user may also view/edit the setpoints by pressing the knob 

and holding it down for 5 seconds. The user is then prompted 

for a password to verify his credentials. The knob should be 

rotated up to ‘111’ for the password. If the password is cor-

rect the user may change the setpoints to the value he desires 

in order to obtain optimum system performance. The menu 

text and meanings for setpoint values are described in Table 3. 

Setpoints are saved to the controller when the user leaves the 

Setpoint menu by pressing the knob when “ESC” is shown. 

The setpoint menu has a timeout of 60 seconds for inactiv-

ity. When this timeout is reached the controller goes back to 

showing the process values and does not save any setpoints 

that might have been changed. If the user is in the Manual 

Valve Position setpoint then this timeout length is 60 minutes.   

As long as the controller does not time out the 60 minutes, 

Setpoints are saved to the controller when the user leaves the 

Setpoint menu by pressing the knob when “ESC” is shown.

All process values and setpoints are accessible

1

 through the 

local and remote displays.

4. Kelvin II MODBUS

The  Kelvin  II  can  communicate  with  a  MODBUS  master. 

The Kelvin II will transfer process values and setpoints via  

MODBUS. 

1

  Setpoints can only be viewed and edited when the proper password is entered.

The Auxiliary Temperature sensor input has a special Pumpdown feature. If a “short” or switch closure is placed across these terminals, the valve will    

shut for pumpdown. The full details of this feature are described in Section 5.

3

  The Alarm Status process value is described in Section 6.

4

  The maximum value varies based on which refrigerant is selected. (R-410A is 300 PSI, R-744 is 500 PSI and all others are 150 PSI).
