NOTES:
1. Additional space provided in the upper right section for optional multiple point power connection and
optional circuit breakers.
2. Front door has a slot opening at the top for access to the MicroTech II controller for viewing display
and making keypad entries without opening the panel door.
Pre Start-up
1. The chilled-water system should be flushed and cleaned. Proper water treatment is required to
prevent corrosion and organic growth.
2. With main disconnect open, check all electrical connections in control panel and starter to be sure
they are tight and provide good electrical contact. Although connections are tightened at the factory,
they can loosen enough in shipment to cause a malfunction.
3. Check and inspect all water piping. Make sure flow direction is correct and piping is made to correct
connection on evaporator and condenser.
4. Open all water flow valves to the condenser and evaporator.
5. Flush the cooling tower and system piping to be sure the system is clean. Start evaporator pump and
manually start condenser pump and cooling tower. Check all piping for leaks. Vent the air from the
evaporator and condenser water circuit, as well as from the entire water system. The cooler circuit
should contain clean, treated, non-corrosive water.
6. Check to see that the evaporator water thermostat sensor is securely installed.
7. Making sure control stop switch S1 is open (off) and pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 are on
“manual pumpdown,” place the main power and control disconnect switches to “on.” This will
energize the crankcase heaters. Wait a minimum of 12 hours before starting the unit.
8. Check compressor oil level. Prior to start-up, the oil level should cover at least one-third of the oil
sight glass located in the equalizing line between the compressors or on the compressor.
9. Note the water pressure drop across evaporator and condenser on pages 4 and 5 and check that water
flow is correct per the system design flow rates.
10. Check the actual line voltage to the unit to make sure it is the same as called for on the compressor
nameplate, within + 10%, and that phase voltage unbalance does not exceed 3%. Verify that adequate
power supply and capacity is available to handle load.
11. Make sure all wiring and fuses are of the proper size. Also make sure that all interlock wiring is
completed per Daikin McQuay diagrams.
12. Verify that all mechanical and electrical inspections by code authorities have been completed.
13. Make sure all auxiliary load and control equipment is operative and that an adequate cooling load is
available for initial start-up.
Start-up
1. Open the compressor discharge shutoff valves until backseated. Always replace valve seal caps.
2. Open the two manual liquid line shutoff valves.
3. Check to see that the unit circuit breakers are in the “off” position.
4. Check to see that the pumpdown switches, PS1 and PS2, are in the “manual pumpdown” position and
the control system switch S1 is in the “off” position.
5. Put the main power and control circuit disconnects to the “on” position.
6. Verify crankcase heaters have operated for at least 12 hours prior to start-up. Crankcase should be
warm to the touch.
7. Check that the MicroTech II controller is set to the desired chilled water temperature.
8. Start the system auxiliary equipment for the installation by turning on the time clock, ambient
thermostat and/or remote on/off switch and water pumps.
9. Check resets of all equipment protection controls.
10. Switch on the unit circuit breakers.
OMM 1130 11
11. Set pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 to “auto” for restart and normal operation.
12. Start the system by setting the system switch S1 to on.
13. After running the unit for a short time, check the oil level in each compressor crankcase, rotation of
condenser fans (if any), and check for flashing in the refrigerant sight glass.
14. After system performance has stabilized, it is necessary that the “Compressorized Equipment
Warranty Form” (Form No. 206036A) be completed to establish commencement of the warranty
period. Be sure to list the pressure drop across both vessels. This form is shipped with the unit and
after completion should be returned to McQuay Service Department through your sales
representative.
Extended Shutdown
Close the manual liquid line shutoff valves.
After the compressors have pumped down, turn off the water pumps.
Turn off all power to the unit.
Move the control service switch S1 to the “off” position.
Close the discharge shutoff valves on the compressor(s) and the liquid outlet valves at the condenser.
Tag all opened disconnect switches to warn against start-up before opening the compressor suction
and discharge valves.
Drain all water from the unit evaporator, condenser, and chilled water piping if the unit is to be shut
down during the winter and exposed to below freezing temperatures. Do not leave the vessels or
piping open to the atmosphere over the shutdown period.
15. Set pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 to the “auto pumpdown” position for restart and normal
operation.
16. After running the unit for a short time, check the oil level in the compressor oil sight glass or in the
compressor’s equalizing lines for flashing, indicating possible refrigerant in the oil.
Low Ambient Start
The low ambient start logic is for starting units with remote air-cooled condensers during periods of low
ambient air temperatures.
A low ambient start takes place if the saturated condenser temperature is less than 85.0°F when the first
compressor starts. The low ambient start is active for a time defined by the Low OAT Start Timer set
point. This set point is found on screen three in the alarm set points menus.
During the low ambient start, the freezestat logic for the low-pressure stop alarm and the low-pressure
events are disabled. The low-pressure stop alarm can still be triggered if the evaporator pressure drops
below 5.0 psi at any time while the circuit is in the ‘Run’ state. Also, during the low ambient start, the
second compressor is not allowed to start. The evaporator pressure is checked at the end of the low
ambient start time frame. If the pressure is less than the Low Pressure Unload set point, then the low
ambient start is not successful and the compressor will shut off. This will not be a manual reset alarm
until three consecutive attempts have failed. The circuit alarm triggered after the third failed attempt is a
Low OAT Restart fault. The Low OAT Restart faults are Circuit alarms so each circuit will attempt to start
either compressor three times before the Low OAT Restart fault is indicated.
OMM 1130 13
If the outside air temperature higher than 75.0°F the condenser fan staging logic changes to bring on
the first fan on when the condenser pressure is greater than 140 psi.
The standard condenser fan staging logic would start the first condenser fan when the condenser
pressure is higher than 200.0 psi.
The last condenser fan on each circuit will not shut down until the condenser pressure drops below
140.0 psi regardless of the outside air temperature
Sequence of Operation
The following sequence of operation is typical for WGZ water chiller models. The sequence can vary
slightly depending upon options.
Compressor Heaters
With the control circuit power on and the control stop switch S1 off, 115V power is applied through the
control circuit fuse Fl to the compressor crankcase heaters HTR1, HTR2, HTR3, and HTR4.
Start-up/Compressor Staging
When compressors start and stop.
Stage Up Temp is the LWT temperature at which the next compressor to start will stage up (start) after at
least one compressor on the unit has started and is running.
Start Up Temp is the LWT at which the first compressor starts. The start up temperature equals the stage
up temperature plus the Start Delta temperature. A high Start Delta will keep the unit off longer and
reduce unit cycling at low loads. However, this high Start Delta will cause a larger excursion from the
LWT setpoint before the unit starts.
Stated another way, the Start Delta is the number of degrees above the Evap LWT setpoint, plus ½ the
Dead Band, that determines when the first compressor starts. The Start Delta is in effect for only the first
start after all compressors have been off. Additional compressor starts and stops are determined by the
LWT in respect to the dead band only. The dead band is automatically set at 30% of the EvapDeltaT
selected in menu 3. The following sequence would occur for the settings shown below:
EvapDelta T=10.0F Dead Band=3.0F StartDelta=5.0F StopDelta=2.0F LWT=40.0F
Figure 7, Staging/Starting Temperatures
For a warm start-up (no compressors
EWT 50.0°F
46.5°F running), the first compressor will start at any
temperature above 46.5F. Each subsequent
Start Delta T
Evap Delta-T Set 10.0°F compressor will start after the Stage Up Timer
41.5°F has timed out and if the temperature is above
½ DB the dead band, 41.5F in this case.
LWT Set 40.0°F 40.0°F
½ DB If the LWT stays above 41.5F, all of three (or
38.5°F
Stop Delta T 5) remaining compressors will eventually
36.5°F
stage on after the Stage Up Timer times out
between each stage.
At some point, the chilled water temperature will be dropping and begin to approach the point when
compressors should begin staging off, which is the LWT setpoint minus ½ of the Dead Band, 38.5F in
this case. If the LWT remains below LWT setpoint minus ½ Dead Band and the Stage Down Timer times
out, additional compressors will stage off. The last compressor will stage off when the LWT falls below
the LWT Setpoint minus ½ the Dead Band minus the Stop Delta T. The stop Delta T is in effect for only
the last compressor running.
If the temperature climbs above 38.5F all running compressors will remain on. No compressor staging
occurs within the Dead Band. The next-on compressor will start when the chilled water temperature
reaches 41.5F and the Stage Up Timer times out.
OMM 1130 15
Automatic Pumpdown
WGZ units are equipped with single pumpdown control. When the last compressor running on either
circuit is ready to shut off, the liquid line solenoid valve (LLSV) is closed first and the compressor
continues to run until the pumpdown pressure is reached, at which time the compressor shuts off. The
shut off pressure is set at 15 psi below the Low Evaporator pressure Unload setpoint.
When the first compressor on a circuit starts, the LLSV opens simultaneously.
Manual Pumpdown
When the Pumpdown Switch is in the pumpdown position, all compressors except #1 and #2 will shut off.
Then the Liquid Line and Hot Gas Bypass Valves will close. The operating compressor will pump out the
refrigerant. When the Suction Pressure is at 40 psig, the compressors will stop.

ICE
In ICE mode, the compressors stage to 100% load until the LWT is less than the ICE LWT SP. Then
Compressors #3 and #4 shut down. Following that, Compressors #1 and #2 shut down after going
through normal pumpdown on both circuits. There is a programmable, start-to-start, Ice Mode Start
Delay that limits the frequency of starts when in the ice mode. The timer can be manually cleared to force
a restart.

MicroTech II Controller
General Description
The MicroTech II controller’s state-of-the-art design will not only permit the chiller to run more
efficiently but will also simplify troubleshooting if a system failure occurs. Every MicroTech II controller
is programmed and tested prior to shipment to assist in a trouble-free start-up. The MicroTech II
controller can be used to cycle fans on remote air-cooled condensers for head pressure control when the
setpoint Water Cooled=N is selected in one of the setpoint menu screens. Water Cooled=Y sets the chiller
for operation with the water-cooled condenser.
Operator Friendly
The MicroTech II controller menu structure is separated into three distinct categories, which provide the
operator or service technician with a full description of
1. current unit status,
2. control parameters (setpoints)
3. alarms. Security protection prevents unauthorized changing of the setpoints and control parameters.
The MicroTech II controller continuously performs self-diagnostic checks, monitoring all system
temperatures, pressures and protection devices, and will automatically shutdown a compressor, a
refrigerant circuit or the entire unit should a fault occur. The cause of the shutdown and date stamp are
retained in memory and can be easily displayed in plain English for operator review, which is an
extremely useful feature for troubleshooting. In addition to displaying alarm diagnostics, the MicroTech
II chiller controller also provides the operator with a warning of pre-alarm conditions.
Staging
The four scroll (or six) compressors are staged on and off as a function of leaving chilled water
temperature, number of starts and run-hours. See Sequence of Operation.
Equipment Protection
The unit is protected by alarms that shut it down and require manual reset, and also by limit alarms that
limit unit operation in response to some out-of-limit condition. Shut down alarms activate an alarm signal
that can be wired to a remote device.

Automatic Adjusted Limits
The following are set points that will be limited based on the option selected.
NOTE: The backup mechanical high pressure cutout is set at 450 psi for water cooled applications and
600 psi for air cooled for air-cooled applications.
OMM 1130 25
When the alarm occurs due to this trigger, it can auto reset the first two times each day, with the third
occurrence being manual reset.
For the auto-reset occurrences, the alarm will reset automatically when the evaporator state is Run again.
This means the alarm stays active while the unit waits for flow, then it goes through the recirculation
process after flow is detected. Once the recirculation is complete, the evaporator goes to the Run state
which will clear the alarm. After three occurrences, the count of occurrences is reset and the cycle starts
over if the manual reset flow loss alarm is cleared.
For the auto-reset occurrences, the alarm will reset automatically when the condenser pump state is Run
again. This means the alarm stays active while the unit waits for flow, then it goes through the
recirculation process after flow is detected. Once the recirculation is complete, the condenser pump goes
to the Run state which will clear the alarm. After three occurrences, the count of occurrences is reset and
the cycle starts over if the manual reset flow loss alarm is cleared.
The absolute low pressure limit is 5 psi with R134a, R22, and R407C refrigerants and 20 psi with R410A
refrigerant.
Freezestat logic allows the circuit to run for varying times at low pressures. The lower the pressure, the
shorter the time the compressor can run. This time is calculated as follows:
OMM 1130 27
Trigger: Sensor shorted or open AND TGZ unit (refrig = R134a) AND operating in ‘heat’ mode.
Action Taken: Normal stop all circuits
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad, but only if the sensor is back in range.
Alarm Log
An alarm log stores the last 25 alarms and/or events to occur. When an alarm or event occurs, it is put
into the first slot in the alarm log and all others are moved down one, dropping the last entry. In the alarm
log, the date and time the alarm occurred are stored, as well as a list of other parameters. These
parameters include compressor states, evaporator pressure, condenser pressure, number of fans on, OAT,
and evaporator LWT.
Active Alarms
When an alarm occurs, it appears in the active alarm list. The active alarm list holds a record of all active
alarms, which includes the date and time each occurred.
Clearing Alarms
A password is NOT required to clear an active alarm. Active alarms must be cleared at the unit controller.
To clear active alarms scroll down to the end of the Active Alarm list press Enter to clear all active alarms.
If the user attempts to clear an alarm while the alarm condition still exists, a new alarm will be generated
immediately.
Limit Events
The following events do not cause a rapid stop but limit operation of the chiller in some way as described
in the Action Taken. All limit events do NOT appear in the Active Alarm window and are NOT logged in
the Alarm Log
OMM 1130 29
Reset: While still running, the event will be reset if evaporator pressure > (Low Evaporator Pressure -
Hold set point + 8psi for R134a/R22/R407C or 13 psi for R410A). The event is also reset if the circuit
state is no longer run.
Failed Pumpdown
Event description (as shown on screen): Pumpdown Fail Cir N
Trigger: Circuit state = pumpdown for time > 60 seconds
Action Taken: Shutdown circuit
Reset: N/A
Event Log
An Event Log similar to the Alarm Log stores the last 25 Event occurrences. There must be an active
password for access to the Event Log. To navigate to the Event log press the Left Arrow key from any
Alarm Log screen. When an event occurs, it is recorded in the first slot in the Event Log. All other entries
are moved down in the Event Log and the last entry is dropped if 25 earlier event occurrences have been
logged. Each Event Log entry includes an event description and a time and date stamp for the event
occurrence.
OMM 1130 31
Controller Operation
Calculations
The Control Band defines the temperatures around the Controlling Leaving Water Temperature set point
where compressors will be staged on or off. In cool mode, the controlling leaving water temperature set
point will be Evap LWT. In heat mode, the controlling leaving water temperature set point will be Heat
LWT.
Control Band = Evap Delta Temperature Set Point * 0.3 Four compressor units
Control Band = Evap Delta Temperature Set Point * 0.2 Six compressor units
Control Band = Cond Delta Temperature Set Point * 0.3 Four compressor units
Control Band = Cond Delta Temperature Set Point * 0.2 Six compressor units
(Control Band/2)
Control
Band Leaving Water Set Point
(Control Band/2)
In all other Unit modes the compressor staging temperatures are calculated as shown below:
Stage Up Temperature = Cool LWT + (Control Band/2)
Stage Down Temperature = Cool LWT – (Control Band/2)
The Cool Start up and Shutdown temperatures are calculated from the Control Band. The Start Up
temperature determines when the first compressor on the unit will start. The Start Up temperature
calculation is shown below:
Start Up Temperature = Stage Up Temperature + Start Up Delta Temperature
The Shutdown temperature defines when the last running compressor will shutdown. The Shutdown
temperature calculation is:
Shutdown Temperature = Stage Down Temperature – Shutdown Delta Temperature
If the Unit mode is Heat:
Stage Up temperature is calculated as follows:
32 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130
Stage Up Temperature = Heat LWT - (Control Band/2)
The Stage Down temperature is calculated as:
Stage Down Temperature = Heat LWT + (Control Band/2)
The Heat Start up and Shutdown temperatures are calculated from the Control Band. The Start Up
temperature determines when the first compressor on the unit will start. The Start Up temperature
calculation is shown below:
Start Up Temperature = Stage Up Temperature - Start Up Delta Temperature
The Shutdown temperature defines when the last running compressor will shutdown. The Shutdown
temperature calculation is:
Shutdown Temperature = Stage Down Temperature + Shutdown Delta Temperature
Leaving Water Temperature (LWT) Reset
The active leaving water set point is set to the current Leaving Water Temperature (LWT) set point unless
the unit is in either cool or heat mode and any of the reset methods below are selected. The type of reset
in effect is determined by the LWT Reset Type set point.
Reset Type = NONE
The Active Leaving Water Temperature set point is set equal to the current LWT set point. IN cool mode,
this will be Evap LWT and in heat mode this will be Heat LWT.
Reset Type = 4-20 mA
The Active Leaving Water set point is adjusted by the 4 to 20 mA reset analog input.
Cooling Mode
The Active Leaving Water set point is adjusted by the 4 to 20 mA reset analog input.
Parameters used:
1. Evaporator Leaving Water Temperature set point (Evap LWT)
2. Cooling Maximum Reset set point (Clg MaxRes)
3. LWT Reset signal 4-20mA
Reset is 0ºF and the active leaving water set point is equal to the Evap LWT set point if the reset signal is
less than or equal to 4 mA. Reset is equal to the Max Reset set point and the active leaving water set
point is equal to the Evap LWT plus Max Reset set points if the reset signal equals or exceeds 20 mA.
The amount of reset will vary linearly between these extremes if the reset signal is between 4 mA and 20
mA. An example of the operation of 4-20 reset in Cool mode is shown below.
OMM 1130 33
1. Heating Leaving Water Temperature set point (Heat LWT)
2. Heating Maximum Reset set point (Htg MaxRes)
3. LWT Reset signal 4-20mA
Reset is 0ºF and the active leaving water set point is equal to the Heat LWT set point if the reset signal is
less than or equal to 4 mA. Reset is equal to the Max Reset set point and the active leaving water set
point is equal to the Heat LWT minus Max Reset set points if the reset signal equals or exceeds 20 mA.
The amount of reset will vary linearly between these extremes if the reset signal is between 4 mA and
20 mA. An example of the operation of 4-20 mA reset in Heat mode is shown below.
The active cooling leaving water set point is reset using the following parameters:
1. Evaporator Leaving Water Temperature set point (Evap LWT)
2. Cooling Maximum Reset set point (Clg MaxRes)
3. Cooling Start Reset Delta Temperature (Clg StrtResDT)
4. Evaporator Delta Temperature (evaporator entering water temperature minus leaving temperature)
Reset is accomplished by changing the Active Cooling Leaving Water set point from the Evap LWT set
point to the sum of Evap LWT (+) Cooling Maximum Reset set points as the evaporator delta temperature
(entering minus leaving) varies from the Cooling Start Reset Delta T set point towards 0º F delta
temperatures.
Heating Mode
The Active Heating Leaving Water set point is adjusted based upon the difference between the chiller’s
entering and leaving condenser water temperatures.
LWT Error
LWT error compares the actual LWT to the active LWT set point.
The equation for cool mode is:
LWT error = LWT – active LWT set point
LWT Slope
LWT slope is calculated such that the slope represents a time frame of one minute.
Every 12 seconds, the current LWT is subtracted from the value 12 seconds back. This value is added to
a buffer containing values calculated at the last five intervals. The final result is a slope value that is an
average over the past 60 seconds.
OMM 1130 35
Evaporator Saturated Temperature
Evaporator saturated temperature is calculated from the evaporator pressure for each circuit.
R410a Evaporator Saturated Temperatures
When R410a refrigerant is selected the refrigerant pressure will be fitted to a curve made up of 24
straight-line segments. The accuracy of calculated saturated temperatures are less than +/- 0.5°F when
compared to standard look up tables for R410a.
Evaporator Approach
The evaporator approach is calculated for each circuit.
For R134a, R22, and R410A refrigerant the equation is:
Evaporator Approach = LWT – Evaporator Saturated Temperature
Suction Superheat
Suction superheat is calculated for each circuit using the following equation:
Suction superheat = Suction Temperature – Evaporator Saturated (Dew for R407c) Temperature
Pumpdown Pressure
The pressure to which a circuit will pump down is based on the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload set
point. The equation is as follows:
The low limit for the calculated Pumpdown Pressure set point is 10.0 psi
Unit Enable
The Unit Enable Set Point controls enabling and disabling the unit. The Unit Enable Set Point has options
of OFF and ON. The Unit OFF input, Remote input, keypad entry, and BAS request can alter this set
point. The Control Source Set Point determines which sources can change the Unit Enable Set Point with
options of SWITCHES, KEYPAD or NETWORK.
Unit Mode
The overall operating mode of the chiller is set by the Unit Mode Set Point with options of COOL, COOL
w/Glycol, ICE w/Glycol, and TEST. This set point can be altered by the keypad, BAS, and Mode input.
Changes to the Unit Mode Set Point are controlled by two additional set points.
Available Modes Set Point: Determines the operational modes available at any time with options of
COOL, COOL w/Glycol, COOL/ICE w/Glycol, ICE w/Glycol and TEST
Control Source Set Point: Determines the source that can change the Unit Mode Set Point with
options of KEYPAD, NETWORK, or SWITCHES.
When the Control source is set to KEYPAD, the Unit Mode shall stay at its previous setting until changed
by the operator. When the Control source is set to BAS, the most recent BAS mode request shall go into
effect even if it changed while the Control source was set to KEYPAD or DIGITAL INPUTS.
Changing the Unit Mode Set Point can be accomplished according to the following table.
NOTE: An “x” indicates that the value is ignored.

OMM 1130 37
Power Up Start Delay
After powering up the unit, the motor protector modules may not reset for up to 150 seconds. After the
control is powered up, no compressor can start for 150 seconds. Motor protect inputs are ignored during
this time so as to avoid tripping a false alarm.
Ice Mode Start Delay
An adjustable start to start ice delay timer will limit the frequency with which the chiller may start in Ice
mode. The timer starts when the first compressor starts while the unit is in ice mode. While this timer is
active, the chiller cannot restart in Ice mode. The time delay is user adjustable.
The ice delay timer may be manually cleared to force a restart in ice mode. A set point specifically for
clearing the ice mode delay is available. In addition, cycling the power to the controller will clear the ice
delay timer.
Low Ambient Lockout
This feature is only available on air cooled units (WaterCooled=Off).
If the OAT drops below the low ambient lockout set point, then all running circuits will do a normal stop.
Once the lockout has been triggered, no compressors will start until the OAT rises to the lockout set point
plus 5°F.
Unit State
The Unit will always be in one of three states. These states are Off, Auto, and Pumpdown. Transitions
between these states are shown in the diagram on the following page.
T1: Off to Auto
Unit Enable = True AND
No Unit Alarm AND

Pump Selection
The pump output used will be determined by the Evap Pump Control set point. The setting allows the
following configurations:
OMM 1130 39
Primary/Standby Pump Staging
The pump designated as primary will start first. If the evaporator state is start for a time greater than the
recirculate timeout set point and there is no flow, then the primary pump will shut off and the standby
pump will start. When the evaporator is in the run state, if flow is lost for more than half of the flow proof
set point value, the primary pump will shut off and the standby pump will start. Once the standby pump is
started, the flow loss alarm logic will apply if flow cannot be established in the evaporator start state, or if
the flow is lost in the evaporator run state.
Auto Control
If auto pump control is selected, the primary/standby logic above is till used. When the evaporator is not
in the run state, the run hours of the pumps will be compared. The pump with the least hours will be
designated as the primary at this time.
Evaporator Water Flow Loss
The Evaporator Water Flow Loss logic allows the Unit to shutdown compressors on a loss of flow up to
two times every twenty-four hours before locking the unit out on a Evaporator Flow Loss Alarm.
If there are no compressors running when Evaporator Water Flow Loss is indicated the Unit Status
changes to Auto:Wait for flow. The evaporator water pump state changes to Start and no alarms are
indicated.
If an Evaporator Water Flow Loss occurs while a compressor is running all of the running
compressors will be shutdown. The alarm indicators are turned On and the Circuit Status for any
circuit with running compressors becomes Off: Ready, the Unit Status becomes Auto: Wait For Flow
and the evaporator water pump state changes to Start
When flow is reestablished the Unit Status becomes Auto: Recirculate while the Evaporator Flow
Recirculation Timer counts down. If there is continuous evaporator water flow while the Evaporator
Recirculation Timer counts down the Alarm indicator is turned off, and the unit resumes normal start
up procedures based on water temperature and cycle timers.
If second Evaporator Water Flow Loss occurs within twenty-four hours the process described above is
repeated.
If a third loss of flow is indicated in a twenty-four hour time frame the unit will shut down on an
Evaporator Water Flow Loss alarm and it will be locked out until this alarm is manually cleared.
The twenty-four hour timer that limits the auto restart is reset when the control clock rolls over 00:00
each night.
OMM 1130 41
The Stage Down Error Step is added to Stage Down Accumulator once every Stage Down Error Delay
seconds. When the Stage Down Accumulator is greater than the Stage Down Error Set Point another stage
of condenser fans turn off. The last stage on will not shut off until the circuit is in an off state.
When stage down occurs or the saturated temperature rises back within the Stage Down dead band the
Stage Down Error Accumulator is reset to zero.
If there are no compressors running when Condenser Water Flow Loss is indicated the Unit Status
changes to Auto:Wait for flow. The condenser water pump state changes to Start and no alarms are
indicated.
If a Condenser Water Flow Loss occurs while a compressor is running all of the running compressors
will be shutdown. The Alarm indicators are turned On and the Circuit Status for any circuit with
running compressors becomes Off: Ready, the Unit Status becomes Auto: Wait For Flow and the
condenser water pump state changes to Start
When flow is reestablished the Unit Status becomes Auto: Recirculate while the Condenser Flow
Recirculation Timer counts down. If there is continuous evaporator water flow while the Condenser
Recirculation Timer counts down the Alarm indicator is turned off, and the Unit resumes normal start
up procedures based on water temperature and cycle timers.
If second Condenser Water Flow Loss occurs within twenty-four hours the process described above is
repeated.
If a third loss of flow is indicated in twenty-four hour time frame the Unit will shut down on an
Condenser Water Flow Loss alarm and it will be locked out until this alarm is manually cleared.
The twenty-four hour timer that limits the auto restart is reset when the control clock rolls over 00:00
each night.
Tower Fans
Tower fan control is active when the unit is set up as water cooled (WaterCooled=On), Tower Control is
set to Temperature, and the condenser pump is in the RUN state. Staging is based on Entering Condenser
Water Temperature (ECWT). Operation depends on the following parameters.
Condenser pump state
ECWT
Stage up and stage down timer values
Tower set points (Tower Control, Tower Stages, Stage Up Time, Stage Down Time, Stage Differential
,Stage #1 ON, Stage #2 ON, Stage Down @, Stage Up @)
OMM 1130 43
When the condenser pump starts, the stage up timer shall start. The first stage shall turn ON when the
following conditions are met:
The stage up timer completes
The ECWT is > Stage #1 ON set point
Bypass valve position is > the Stage Up @ set point (only if Valve/VFD Control set point = Valve
Stage)
Additional stages can turn on (up to the number specified by the Tower Stages set point) when above
conditions are met for the next stage plus the following condition:
VFD Speed is > the Stage Up @ set point (only if Valve/VFD Control set point = VFD Stage OR
Valve SP/VFD Stage)
Down staging shall occur when the following conditions are met:
The stage down timer completes
The ECWT is < Stage #X ON (Temp) set point – Stage Differential (Temp) set point
Bypass valve position is < the Stage Down @ set point (only if Valve/VFD Control set point = Valve
Stage)
VFD Speed is < the Stage Down @ set point (only if Valve/VFD Control set point = VFD Stage OR
Valve SP/VFD Stage)
Each stage up or stage down event will restart both the stage up and stage down timers. Only one fan
output will be switched at a time (except that all outputs switch OFF when the condenser pump state
equals OFF).
Cooling Tower Bypass Valve
When the Valve/VFD Control set point is set to None OR VFD Stage, this output will be set to 0.
Otherwise, it shall be controlled as described below.
Initial Valve Position
When the condenser pump is not in the RUN state, the valve output will be set as a function of entering
condenser water temperature (ECWT)) per the following graph.
Min Position @
Set Point
(60°F)
OMM 1130 45
If Unit Mode = Heat AND
At least one compressor is running AND
LWT error > 0.5 * Control band AND
Pulldown rate <= Max pulldown rate AND
Compressors running < unit capacity limit AND
Stage up timer expired THEN
Stage Up Now = True
Stage Down Now
The Stage Down Now flag is set based on the following tests:
Compressor Sequencing
Compressor staging is based primarily on compressor run hours and starts. Compressors that have less
starts will normally start before those with more starts. Compressors that have more run hours will
normally shut off before those with less run hours. In the event of a tie on number of starts, the lower
numbered compressor starts first. In the event of a tie on run hours, the lower numbered compressor shuts
off first. Run hours are compared in terms of tens of hours.
If possible, only one compressor per circuit will start before starting the second compressor on any
circuit. If a circuit is unavailable for any reason, the other circuit shall be allowed to stage the second
compressor on. When staging down, one compressor on each circuit shall be left on until each circuit has
only one compressor running.
When the Low OAT Start Timer has expired, if the evaporator pressure is greater than or equal to the Low
Evaporator Pressure Unload set point, the start is considered successful and normal alarm and event logic
is reinstated. If the evaporator pressure is less than the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload set point when
the Low OAT Start Timer expires, the start is unsuccessful and the compressor will shutdown.
Three compressor restarts per circuit are allowed when a circuit fails to start a compressor in a Low
Ambient Start attempt. On the third failed Low Ambient Start attempt the Restart Alarm is triggered and
the circuit will not attempt to restart a compressor until the Restart alarm has been cleared.
Circuit Capacity Overrides
The following conditions shall override the automatic capacity control when the chiller is in cool mode
only. These overrides keep a circuit from entering a condition in which it is not designed to run.
Low Evaporator Pressure
If a compressor in a circuit is running and the evaporator pressure drops below the Low Evaporator
Pressure Hold set point, no more compressors will be allowed to start on that circuit. The limit shall be
active until the evaporator pressure reaches the hold Low Evaporator Hold set point plus 8.0 psi for
R134a, R22, and R407C or 13.0 psi for R410A. On that circuit’s VIEW CIRCUITn (1) screen is
displayed the “Hold Clear @” value which is the limit by which the evaporator pressure must reach to
allow for additional loading. A Low Evaporator Pressure Hold event will be recorded in the Event Log.
If two or more compressors are running in a circuit and the evaporator pressure drops below the Low
Evaporator Pressure Unload set point, the circuit will begin reducing capacity. If two compressors are
running, one of the compressors will be stopped after a time delay has expired which is one-half the
calculated freeze time (lower pressure then shorter time). If three compressors are running, one
compressor will stop after a this time delay which is one-half the calculated freeze time and, ten seconds
later, if the pressure has not risen above the unload set point an additional compressor will be stopped.
The last compressor on a circuit will not stop due to the unload condition. The low evaporator pressure
unload event will clear when the evaporator pressure rises either 8.0 psi for R134a, R22, and R407C or
13.0 psi for R410A above the Low Evaporator Pressure Hold set point. A Low Evaporator Pressure
Unload event will be recorded in the Event Log.
If the evaporator pressure drops below the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload set point and one compressor
on the circuit is running then the following table applies.
Description Low Evap Press Time Requirement to continue
Check #1 15 seconds after start Evap Press >(0.48*Low Evap Press SP)
Check #2 30 seconds after start Evap Press >(0.66*Low Evap Press SP)
Check #3 45 seconds after start Evap Press >(0.83*Low Evap Press SP)
Check #4 60 seconds after start Evap Press > Low Evap Press SP
No stage up will be allowed on the circuit until the condenser pressure drops below the unload set point
less an offset value which is calculated based on 1) type refrigerant, 2) number of compressors, 3)
condenser configuration, and 4) how many high pressure unload occurrences since the previous mid-
night. See below for initial offset value and step-increase for each additional occurrence.
Hold Clear Reset Value =
High Pressure Unload set point – [“Initial Offset” + [“Step-Increase” x [“number of occurrence”-1]]]
Initial Offset & Step Increase
Condenser No. of R22, Step
R410A R134a
Configuration Compressors R407C Increase
4 40 psi 30 psi 30 psi 10 psi
Water-Cooled
6 32 psi N/A 20 psi 10 psi
4 100 psi 70 psi N/A 15 psi
Air-Cooled
6 80 psi N/A N/A 15 psi
Example of Operation: Assume a packaged water-cooled WGZ unit with 4 compressors using R410A as the
refrigerant. Circuit number one is fully loaded (both compressors running) when that circuit’s condenser
pressure exceeds the High Condenser Pressure Unload set point. Circuit number one will unload by turning
one of the two compressors off immediately. This circuit will not be allowed to load back up until its
condenser pressure decreases below the “Hold Clear @” value which is displayed on the “VIEW CIRCUIT 1
(1)” screen. Since this is the first High Condenser Pressure – Unload occurrence for that circuit, the circuit
will be allowed to load once the condenser pressure drops below the High Condenser Pressure Unload set
point minus 40 psi. If using default value (405 psi) this will be 365 psi. After some time, the condenser
pressure is allowed to decrease below this value and circuit number one is again allowed to load up. Again its
condenser pressure exceeds the High Condenser Pressure Unload set point and it unloads. Because this is the
second High Condenser Pressure – Unload occurrence for that circuit, the circuit will not be allowed to load
until the condenser pressure drops below the High Condenser Pressure Unload set point minus 50 psig (40
psi plus step-increase10psi). If using default values, this will be 355 psi. As you can see, for each occurrence
the discharge pressure must get lower and lower (based on Step-Increase value) before the circuit is allowed
to again load. This logic is intended to prevent excessive cycling of compressors.

triggered, the evaporator water pump will remain off and no compressors will start until the OAT rises to
the lockout set point plus 5F.
A running compressor can not be disabled until it has been shutdown. If both of the compressors on a
circuit have been disabled then the circuit is disabled. If both circuits have all of their compressors
disabled, the Unit state will remain “Off”.
All compressors, hot gas, and liquid line outputs should be turned off immediately for a rapid shutdown.
The hot gas bypass valve opening will be delayed for Hot Gas Bypass Time set point seconds (the default
is 30 seconds) when the first compressor starts on each circuit.
Any time the circuit is not in the run state, the EXV position should be 0.

Using the Controller
Getting Started
There are two basic procedures to learn in order to utilize the MicroTech II controller:
Navigating through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen and knowing where a particular
screen is located.
Knowing what is contained in a menu screen and how to read that information or how to change a
setpoint contained in the menu screen.
MENU Key
The MENU key is used to switch between the shortcut method (known as the MENU mode and as shown
in Figure 8) and scrolling method (known as the SCROLL mode). The MENU mode is the shortcut to
specific groups of menus used for checking ALARMS, for VIEWING information, or to SET setpoint
values. The SCROLL mode allows the user to move about the matrix (from one menu to another, one at a
MENU Key

OMM 1130 53
The menus are arranged in a matrix of screens across a top horizontal row. Some of these top-level
screens have sub-screens located under them. The content of each screen and its location in the matrix are
shown in Figure 10. A description of each menu begins on page 54.
The arrow keys on the controller are used to navigate through the menus. The keys are also used to
change numerical setpoint values contained in certain menus.

Menu Descriptions
This section contains information on each screen. The menu screens are in order of the matrix in Figure
10 going from left to right and down when there are sub-menus. Many menus are self-explanatory. A
Setpoint menu allows selection of whether the unit has a water-cooled condenser, WaterCooled = Y (Yes)
or a remote condenser, WaterCooled = N (No). This selection will alter some menus as appropriate to the
type of condenser.

The difference between the three screens above is that water-cooled units and the TGZ units will give the
entering condenser water temperature and air-cooled units will give the outside air temperature (OAT).
The outside-air temperature sensor is furnished with the unit, inside the control panel, wired to the correct
terminals. It must be installed outdoors in a location that will give the true outdoor temperature that the
condenser coils will see. Splicing of the sensor lead may be required. The unit will not operate without
the sensor installed.

Set Cooling Tower Control
The MicroTech II controller is capable of controlling cooling tower water temperature on chillers using
water-cooled condensers. Output wiring connection points are shown on the field wiring diagrams.
[Water Cooled = Y] - Condenser Pump on with first Compressor on. Tower fan control is active when the
Tower Control setpoint is set to Temperature and the condenser pump is in the RUN state. Staging is
based on Entering Condenser Water Temperature (ECWT). Operation depends on the following.
Condenser pump state
ECWT OR Lift pressure
Stage up and stage down timer values
Tower setpoints (Tower Control, Tower Stages, Stage Up Time, Stage Down Time, Stage Differential,
Stage #1 ON, Stage #2 ON, Stage Down @, Stage Up @)
When the condenser pump starts, the stage up timer shall start. The first stage shall turn ON when the
following conditions are met:
The stage up timer completes
The ECWT is > Stage #1 ON setpoint
Bypass valve position is > the Stage Up @ setpoint (only if Valve/VFD Control setpoint = Valve
Stage)
Additional stages can turn on (up to the number specified by the Tower Stages setpoint) when above
conditions are met for the next stage plus the following condition:
VFD Speed is > the Stage Up @ setpoint (only if Valve/VFD Control setpoint = VFD Stage OR Valve
SP/VFD Stage)
Down staging shall occur when the following conditions are met:
The stage down timer completes
The ECWT is < Stage #X ON (Temp) setpoint – Stage Differential (Temp) setpoint point
Bypass valve position is < the Stage Down @ setpoint (only if Valve/VFD Control setpoint = Valve
Stage)
VFD Speed is < the Stage Down @ setpoint (only if Valve/VFD Control setpoint = VFD Stage OR
Valve SP/VFD Stage)
Each stage up or stage down event shall restart both the stage up and stage down timers. Only one fan
output shall be switched at a time (except that all outputs switch OFF when the condenser pump state
equals OFF).

Unit Identification
Integer 28 indicates the unit model type and refrigerant. For the WGZD with R-22, R407c, R410A and
TGZ with R134a, the refrigerant the output is 3.
Integer 29 indicates the unit language. For the WGZD the language can only be English, so output is 1.
Integer 30 indicates the software version and revision. The hundreds digit represents the version, and the
remaining part represents the revision letter.
Compressor Select
Compressor Select is used to select the compressor for which the associated parameters will be sent to the
BAS interface. The input should equal the number of the compressos for which data is desired. If a 0 is
sent from the BAS, this will also select compressor 1.
Timeclock Setting
The chiller time and date may be changed through the BAS interface. Time and date are updated by first
setting the values for the time and date inputs on the BAS. When the BAS sets digital index 12 high, the
time and date in the controller is set to the values supplied by the BAS. The values used are as follows:
Year: Integer # 35 (00 to 99)
Month: Integer # 36 (1 to 12)
Day of Month: Integer # 37 (1 to 31)
Day of Week: Integer # 38 (1 to 7)
Hour: Integer # 39 (0 to 23)
Minute: Integer # 40 (0 to 59)
Network Defaults
The network set point default values are used only for the LONworks protocol. Digital index 10
determines whether the network defaults should be loaded at startup. The startup process is as follows.
Immediately after the controller powers up, the protocol is checked. If the protocol is LONworks, then the
current status of the BAS unit enable set point, digital 1, is stored in a temporary location and the BAS
OMM 1130 75
enabled set point is set to disable. A ten second timer should lapse, then the “ignore network defaults”
setting is checked. If this is set low, then the defaults for BAS cool set point, network limit, unit enable,
and unit mode will be loaded. If the setting is set high, then no defaults are loaded and the status of the
BAS enable set point is restored to the original value.

OMM 1130 77
System Maintenance
General
To provide smooth operation at peak capacity and to avoid damage to package components, a program of
periodic inspections should be set up and followed. The following items are intended as a guide to be
used during inspection and must be combined with sound refrigeration and electrical practices to provide
trouble-free performance.
The liquid line sight glass/moisture indicator on all circuits must be checked to be sure that the glass is
full and clear and that the moisture indicator indicates a dry condition. If the indicator shows that a wet
condition exists or if bubbles show in the glass, even with a full refrigerant charge, the filter-drier element
must be changed.
Water supplies in some areas can tend to foul the water-cooled condenser to the point where cleaning is
necessary. The fouled condenser will be indicated by an abnormally high condenser approach temperature
(saturated discharge temperature minus leaving condenser water temperature) and can result in nuisance
trip-outs. To clean the condenser, mechanical cleaning or a chemical descaling solution should be used
according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Remote air-cooled condensers require periodic cleaning of the finned surface of the condenser coil.
Cleaning can be accomplished by using a cold water spray, brushing, vacuuming, or high-pressure air. No
tools should be used that could damage the coil tubes or fins.
The compressor oil level must be checked periodically to be sure that the level is at the center of the oil
sightglass located in the compressor's equalizing line or on the compressor itself. Low oil level can cause
inadequate lubrication and if oil must be added, use oils referred to in the following “Compressor
Lubrication” section.
A pressure tap has been provided on the liquid line downstream of the filter-drier and solenoid valve but
before the expansion valve. An accurate subcooled liquid pressure and temperature can be taken here. The
pressure read here could also provide an indication of excessive pressure drop through the filter-drier and
solenoid valve due to a clogging filter-drier. Note: A normal pressure drop through the solenoid valve is
approximately 3 psig (20.7 kPa) at full load conditions.
! CAUTION
Warranty may be affected if wiring is not in accordance with specifications. Before replacing
blown fuse or restarting compressor, the trouble must be found and corrected. It is important to
have a qualified control panel electrician service this panel. Unqualified tampering with the
controls can cause serious damage to equipment and void the warranty.
! DANGER
The panel is always energized to ground even when the system switch is off. To de-energize the
complete panel including crankcase heaters, pull the main unit disconnect. Failure to do so can
result in severe personal injury or death.
Electrical Terminals
! WARNING
To avoid injury from electric shock hazard, turn off all power and perform lockout and tag-out of
source before continuing with the following service. Note that the unit might be powered from
multiple sources.
All power electrical terminals should be re-tightened every six months, as they tend to loosen due to
normal heating and cooling of the wire.
POE Lubrication
The oil level should be watched carefully upon initial start-up and regularly thereafter.

System Service
! DANGER
Service on this equipment is to be performed only by qualified refrigeration personnel. Causes
for repeated tripping of equipment protection controls must be investigated and corrected.
Disconnect all power before doing any service inside the unit or serious personal injury or death
can occur.
NOTE: Anyone servicing this equipment must comply with the requirements set forth
by the EPA concerning refrigerant reclamation and venting.
Filter-Driers
To change the filter-drier, pump the unit down (with the compressor running) by closing the
manual liquid line shutoff valve(s). The unit will start pumping down until it reaches the low-
pressure cutoff setting of 58 psi.
Close the discharge valve. Remove the refrigerant in the liquid line with a recovery unit to EPA
required pressure. Remove and replace the filter-drier(s). Evacuate the lines through the liquid
line manual shutoff valve(s) to remove noncondensables that may have entered during filter
replacement. A leak check is recommended before returning the unit to operation.
OM WGZC-1 81
If the problem can be traced to the power element only, it can be unscrewed from the valve
body without removing the valve, but only after pumping the unit down.
! CAUTION
Adjustment of expansion valve should only be performed by a qualified
service technician. Failure to do so can result in improper unit operation.
Note: Superheat will vary with compressor unloading, but should be approximately as follows:
between 8°F and 12°F (4.4°C and 6.7°C) at full load; between 6°F and 10°F at part load.
Water-cooled Condenser
The condenser is of the shell-and-tube type with water flowing through the tubes and refrigerant
in the shell. External finned copper tubes are rolled into steel tube sheets and to the center
dividing tube sheet. Integral subcoolers are incorporated on all units. All condensers are equipped
with 500 psig (3104 kPa) relief valves. Normal tube cleaning procedures can be followed.
Evaporator
The evaporator is a sealed, brazed-stainless steel plate unit. Normally no service work is required
on the evaporator.
