Changing Motormaster
®
V Parameters
To change parameter values of the Motormaster V controller:
1. To enter the PROGRAM mode to access the parameters,
press the Mode button. This will activate the password
prompt (if the password has not been disabled). The dis-
play will read “00” and the upper right-hand decimal
point will be blinking. See Fig. 148.
2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll to the pass-
word value (the factory default password is 111) and
press the Mode button to accept the value.
3. Once the correct password value is entered, the display
will read P01, which indicates that the PROGRAM mode
has been accessed. P01 is the first parameter.
NOTE: If the display flashes “Er,” the password was in-
correct, and the process to enter the password must be re-
peated.
4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll to the de-
sired parameter number.
5. Once the desired parameter number is found, press the
Mode button to display the present parameter setting. The
upper right-hand decimal point will begin blinking, indi-
cating that the present parameter setting is being dis-
played, and that it can be changed by using the up and
down buttons. Use the up and down arrow buttons to
change setting. Press Mode to store the new setting and
exit the PROGRAM mode.
6. To change another parameter, press the Mode button
again to re-enter the PROGRAM mode (the parameter
menu will be accessed at the parameter that was last
viewed or changed before exiting). If the Mode button is
pressed within two minutes of exiting the PROGRAM
mode, the password is not required to access the parame-
ters. After two minutes, the password must be entered in
order to access the parameters again.
The drive uses an electronic programming module (EPM)
chip to store the program parameters. This is an EPROM mem-
ory chip and is accessible from the front of the Motormaster V.
It should not be removed with power applied to the VFD. See
Fig. 148.
Motormaster V Drive Password Configuration — Changing
the password is not recommended. Once the password is
changed, there is no means to retrieve the new password if it is
lost. A new EPM chip must be installed.
To change password, follow the parameter changing in-
structions in the section Changing Motormaster V Parameters
above. Change parameter P44 to the desired password. Set-
ting P44 to 000 disables the password function. Valid range for
the password is 000 to 999.
LOW AMBIENT LOCKOUT — The control software has a
feature that allows the user to select an outdoor air temperature
(OAT) at which mechanical cooling will be disabled. To use
this feature, set OAT Lockout Temperature (
Set Points
o
COOL
o
OAT.L
) to a value between –19 and 80 F (–28.3
and 26.7 C). This value should be set to the desired tempera-
ture at which no mechanical cooling is required. Any time the
feature is active due to the outdoor air temperature being below
the field programmed value, the machine will indicate OAT
Below Lockout Temp (

). Mechanical cooling will be enabled once the
Outdoor Ambient is 3° F (1.6° C) above the
OAT.L
set point.
The factory default is 20 F (–28.9 C) and indicates that this
feature is disabled. If an Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor fail-
ure is declared, this feature must be disabled by setting the
OAT.L
to 20 F (–28.9 C), to allow the unit to operate.
MAINTENANCE REMINDER — The 38AP
Comfort
Link
controls have the ability to provide a reminder for service per-
sonnel that regularly scheduled condenser coil maintenance is
required. Maintenance interval is a field-configurable item.
The service interval should be adjusted for the job site condi-
tions. See Table 56.
Table 56 — Configuring Maintenance Reminder
MINIMUM LOAD CONTROL — Minimum load control is
generally not recommended for split systems. If installed, the
feature must be enabled in the controls. Minimum load control
or hot gas bypass cannot be used in conjunction with the digital
scroll option.
Minimum load control can only be added to standard com-
pressor units in the field. This feature will not operate with an
optional digital compressor and when the digital function is en-
abled (

. To enable the
minimum load valve, confirm that the digital compressor op-
tion is disabled and set Minimum Load Valve Select to YES,
(

MLV.S=

). See Table 57.
NOTE: Minimum Load Control and Digital Compressor oper-
ation cannot be used together.
Table 57 — Configuring Minimum Load Control
If equipped and enabled, the Minimum Load Control valve
is active as the last stage of capacity when the unit is unloading.
MINUTES OFF TIME — The Minutes Off Time feature
(
Configuration
o
OPT2
o
DELY
) is a user-configurable time
period used by the control to determine how long unit opera-
tion is delayed after the unit has been enabled. This delay is
initiated following the Enable-Off-Remote Switch being
placed in “Enable” position or “Remote” with remote contacts
closed, or if power is applied/restored to the unit with the
Enable-Off-Remote Switch in a position that would allow the
unit operate. Typically, this time period is configured when
multiple machines are located on a single site. For example,
this gives the user the ability to prevent all the units from
restarting at once after a power failure. A value of zero for this
variable does not mean that the unit should be running.
If Minutes Off Time is active, the control will indicate Op-
erating Mode, Minutes Off Time Active (
