Standard Controller Operation 

 

 

 
The chiller includes a controller to perform all 
control functions directly from the front panel. When 
Control Power is applied, the controller initiates a 
diagnostic test of each indicating light and display 
segment which momentary lights them sequentially. 
As part of this initial diagnostic test, the program 
revision level display in the temperature display for a 
moment. After the initial diagnostic sequence is 
completed, the controller is ready for operation. 
 

 

Start Button 

Depressing the Start button will start the pump and 
enable the compressor. The compressor (and 
condenser fans if the chiller is air-cooled) will start 
only if the microprocessor is calling for cooling 
because the actual To Process temperature is higher 
than the Set Point temperature. If the Autostart 
feature is enabled the Autostart signal will have 
precedence over the Start Button. See the Program 
Menu 
section for instructions on how to enable or 
disable the Autostart feature. The Start button also 
performs an “Enter” function while in the 
programming menu. 
 

 

Stop Button 

Depressing the Stop button will shut off the 
compressor, pump, condenser fans (if the chiller is 
air-cooled), and clear all fault signals. If the Autostart 
feature is enabled and an Autostart signal present, 
the Stop button will not stop the chiller. See the 
Program Menu section for instructions on how to 
enable or disable the Autostart feature. 
 
This button also performs a “Cancel” function while 
in the programming menu. 
 

 

Alarm Silence / Alarm Reset 
Button 

When an alarm condition is present, the alarm LED 
above the Alarm Silence/Reset button will be on and 
red. The first Alarm Silence/Reset button press will 
silence the alarm horn (optional), open the remote 
alarm contact (optional), and the LED toggles from 
red to yellow. The alarm horn and/or remote alarm 
contact remain disabled until a subsequent alarm 
occurs. A second press of the Alarm Silence/Reset 
button resets the state from Alarm to Normal 
Operation. 
 
The High Refrigerant Pressure and Pump Overload 
require a mechanical safety manual reset before the 
control board reset.  If the fault is still present, the 
unit will immediately go into a new alarm state. 
 

 

Compressor Running Hours 
Button 

Press and hold the Compressor Running Hours 
Button to display the amount of time that each 
compressor in the system has run. The Set Point 
window will show which compressor’s usage is being 
displayed (for units with two compressors). The 
running hours show in the process display window. 
Display of running hours is in units of hundreds so a 
display value of 10 would mean 1,000 hours. The 
running hours show while holding the button. For 
units with two compressors, the display will toggle 
between the two compressors every three seconds. 
The hours show while holding the button. Control is 
not disturbed while displaying the running hours.
