Overview
The MicroTech® III controller’s state-of-the-art design not
only permits the chiller to run more efficiently, but also can
simplify troubleshooting if a system failure occurs. Every
MicroTech IIII controller is programmed and tested prior to
shipment to facilitate start-up.
The controller menu structure is separated into three distinct
categories that provide the operator or service technician with
a full description of :
1
current unit status
2
control parameters
3
alarms. Security protection prevents unauthorized
changing of the setpoints and control parameters.
MicroTech III control 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
III chiller controller will also retain and display the date/time
the fault occurred. In addition to displaying alarm diagnostics,
the MicroTech III chiller controller also provides the operator
with a warning of limit (pre-alarm) conditions.
