The circuit’s suction pressure dropped below (Low
Pressure Cutout Setpoint (kPa absolute) * 0.5)
regardless of whether or not compressors are
running on that circuit. This diagnostic was created
to prevent compressor failures due to cross-binding
by forcing an entire chiller shutdown. See the Very
Low Suction Pressure Crossbinding Protection spec
for more details.

The suction temperature measurement is larger than
the entering temperature by more than a threshold
value for 5 continuous minutes. The threshold value
is 4°C (7.2°F) for cooling-only units, and 20°C for
heat pumps. The entering temperature is the
evaporator entering water temperature when the
reversing valve is in the cooling direction, and the
ambient air temperature when the reversing valve is
in the heating direction. There is an ignore time of 2
minutes following circuit startup. The trip criteria is
not evaluated (and time above the threshold is not
counted) until the ignore time passes.
Note: the threshold was increased to 20°C because
of Suction Line Heat Exchanged installed on High
Efficiency heatpumps CXAF. Differentiation between
units with and without SLHX will be managed in next
release (R2b). Downside of this extension to every
heatpumps is loose limit to detect that temp sensor is
failing, if unit does not have SLHX.

At power-up
The BAS was setup as "installed" and the BAS did not
communicate with the Lontalk LCIC within 15
minutes after chiller controls power-up. Refer to
Section on Setpoint Arbitration to determine how
setpoints and operating modes may be affected.
Note that this diagnostic is never operational for
BacNet Communication interface (BCIC) and only
operational with a LonTalk Communication interface
(LCIC) if so configured by the BAS or Tracer system.
