OM 200MICRO
4-20mA
—This is an optional input to the MicroTech. This input is usually from a building
automation system.
As the input changes from 4 to 20 mA, the leaving chilled water temperature is increased from
local spt
(in a linear manner)
until the
max lvg spt
is reached. When the
spt source
is set to
network, the 4-20 mA input is supplied to the master MicroTech control. The master will issue
reset instructions to the slave MicroTech. Upon network communication failure the slave unit
will revert back to
local spt
control. Network failure on a dual machine will require immediate
attention.
Oat
—The leaving water temperature set point is increased as the outside air temperature
decreases. The leaving water temperature set point will be reset upward from the
local spt
to the
max lvg spt
(in a linear manner)
between the
max reset
and
no reset
values. The outside air
temperature can be used to determine when the building load will decrease because of cooler
outside air temperatures. Since the building load is reduced the leaving evaporator water
temperature can be increased providing reduced operational costs.
Ice
—This option allows the chiller to operate at temperatures that are required by ice banks.
Ice
option requires an external 24 vac input to change the chiller from regular operation to ice
operation. The
local spt
should be set to equal the ice temperature plus the
shutdn dt
. The max
lvg spt
would determine the normal or day operating temperature. All refrigerant set points must
be adjusted according to the operating temperatures and pressures.
Max Lvg Spt=
This is the highest leaving water temperature allowed when using
return, 4-20
or
oat
reset
. This is the day or normal operating temperature if ice is selected as a reset option. If this set
point is set to high it can cause the compressor to surge and damage the chiller.
Return Spt=
This value will control the MicroTech if the
chw reset
option was set to return. When
the return water temperature reaches
return spt
the leaving evaporator water temperature will be
increased to maintain the
return spt
. The leaving water temperature will not exceed the max
lvg spt
.
No Reset At
—A value must be entered if
oat
was selected as the
chw reset
option. Select an outside
air temperature to stop the reset option.
Reset Signal=
The actual value of the external reset signal.
Max Reset At
—A value must be entered if
oat
was selected as the
chw reset
option. Select an outside
air temperature at which the maximum reset will occur.
Pulldn Rate=
This value will determine how fast the MicroTech will allow the chiller to reach
local spt
.
The maximum allowable change in the chilled water temperature in degrees per minute. Compressor
loading will be inhibited if the rate of change is exceeded.

—Allows the MicroTech to control chiller motor amperage depending on chiller load,
high and low limits and from manual input.
