• It is the active Chiller Current Limit value.
If only compressor motor #2 is running:
• (Software version C.OPT.11.02B. xxx (and earlier))
• If the Chiller Pulldown Demand Limit is in effect,
it is twice the Chiller Pulldown Demand Limit, up
to 100%.
• If the Chiller Pulldown Demand Limit is not in
effect, it is twice the Chiller Current Limit, up to
100%.
(Software version C.OPT.11.03.01.04 and later)
• If the Lead Compressor Pulldown Time Setpoint
is in effect, it is the Lead Compressor Pulldown
Demand Limit Setpoint value.
• If the Lead Compressor Pulldown Time Setpoint
is not in effect, it is twice the Chiller Current Lim-
it, up to 100%.
Operating Hours
Displays the total accumulated run time of compressor
#2.
Number of Starts
Displays the total accumulated number of starts of
compressor #2.
Run Time
Displays the amount of time in days, hours and min-
utes that compressor #2 motor has been running since
the last start signal was received. Value is reset to zero
when compressor #2 enters Coastdown. It remains at
zero while shutdown.
Programmable
Local Chiller Current Limit
Access Level Required:
OPERATOR
Allows the user to specify the maximum allowed
Chiller Current. The Chiller Current is the total mo-
tor current being conducted by the chiller. If only
one compressor motor is running, that is the Chiller
Current. If both compressor motors are running, the
Chiller Current is the total of both motors, with the
Pre-rotation Vanes operated to achieve equal current to
both motors. The Chiller Full Load Amps (FLA) is the
total of compressor #1 motor and compressor #2 motor
FLA ratings, with each motor having an equal FLA rat-
ing. For example, if the Chiller FLA is 1600 amps, the
FLA of each motor is 800 amps. The Chiller Current
Limit Setpoint is expressed as a percentage (30% to
100%) of Chiller FLA. In this example, the chiller FLA
is 1600 amps. If the Chiller Current Limit Setpoint is
set at 70%, the Chiller Current is limited to 1120 amps.
If only one motor is running, the Motor Current Limit
(see Motor Current Limit Setpoint above) for that mo-
tor would be set to 100% and it would be allowed to
operate at its maximum of 800 amps, However, if both
motors are running, each would be limited to 560 amps
per motor, producing a Chiller Current of 1120 amps.
If equipped with software version C.OPT.11.02B.xxx
(and earlier), this setpoint comes into effect during the
Chiller Steady State Period (this period is in effect after
the Leaving Chilled Liquid Temperature is within 2ºF
of the Leaving Chilled Liquid Temperature Setpoint
(Chiller Pulldown Period no longer in effect)) and re-
mains in effect for the remainder of System Run. If
equipped with software version C.OPT.11.03.01.004
(and later), this setpoint is in effect after the Lead
Compressor Pulldown Time setpoint (see below) has
elapsed and for the remainder of system run.
Chiller Pulldown Demand Limit
(Software version C.OPT.11.02B.xxx (and earlier)).
(In software version C.OPT.11.03.01.004 and later,
this Setpoint is not available. It is replaced by the Lead
Compressor Pulldown Demand Limit Setpoint (see be-
low).
Access Level Required:
OPERATOR
Allows the user to specify the maximum allowed
Chiller Current during the Chiller Pulldown Period.
The Chiller Pulldown Period is in effect from the in-
stant the chiller enters “System Run” until the Leav-
ing Chilled Liquid Temperature is within 2 ºF of the
Leaving Chilled Liquid Temperature Setpoint. The
Chiller Current is the total motor current being con-
ducted by the chiller. If only one compressor motor is
running, that is the Chiller Current. If both compressor
motors are running, the Chiller Current is the total of
both motors, with the Pre-rotation Vanes operated to
achieve equal current to both motors. The Chiller Full
Load Amps (FLA) is the total of compressor #1 mo-
tor and compressor #2 motor FLA ratings, with each
motor having an equal FLA rating. For example, if
the Chiller FLA is 1600 amps, the FLA of each mo-
tor is 800 amps. The Chiller Current Limit Setpoint is
expressed as a percentage (30% to 100%) of Chiller
FLA. In this example, the chiller FLA is 1600 amps.
If the Chiller Current Limit Setpoint is set at 70%, the
