Introduction
General Description
Daikin McQuay Type WGZ water chillers are designed for indoor installations Equipment room temperature
for operating and standby conditions is 40°F to 122°F (4.4°C to 50°C). They are available with water-cooled
condensers (Model DW), or arranged for use with remote air-cooled or evaporative condensers (Model DA).
Each water-cooled unit is completely assembled and factory wired before evacuation, charging and testing.
They consist of hermetic scroll compressors, brazed-plate evaporator, water-cooled condenser (WGZ-DW), and
complete refrigerant piping.
Units manufactured for use with remote condensers (Models WGZ-DA) have all refrigerant specialties factory-
mounted and connection points for refrigerant discharge and liquid lines.
Liquid line components that are included are manual liquid line shutoff valves, charging valves, filter-driers,
liquid line solenoid valves, sight glass/moisture indicators, and thermal expansion valves. Other features
include compressor crankcase heaters, and a MicroTech II microprocessor controller.
The electrical control center includes all equipment protection and operating controls necessary for dependable
automatic operation.

Water Pressure Drop


Water flow rates should be maintained as closely as possible to job design values. The vessel flow rates must
fall between the minimum and maximum values shown on the appropriate evaporator and condenser curves.
Measure the water pressure drop through the vessels at field-installed pressure taps and check the flow rate
using the following tables. Do not include valves or strainers in these readings.
The evaporator flow rates and pressure drops shown on the following page are for full load design purposes.
The maximum flow rate and pressure drop are based on a 6-degree temperature drop. Avoid higher flow rates
with resulting lower temperature drops to prevent potential control problems resulting from very small control
bands and limited start up/shut off temperature changes.
The minimum flow and pressure drop is based on a full load evaporator temperature drop of 16-degrees.

Motor Protection Module


The motor protection system consists of an external control module, located on each compressor,
connected to a series of thermistors located in the motor windings and the compressor discharge port. If
the windings experience an over-temperature condition or the discharge temperature is excessive, the
module will trip and shut off the compressor for a 30-minute time delay.

Start-Up and Shutdown

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.

Weekend or Temporary Shutdown


Move pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 to the “manual pumpdown” position. After the compressors have
pumped down, turn off the chilled water pump. Note: With the unit in this condition, it will not restart
until these switches are turned back on. The unit has one-time pumpdown. It is important that the
compressors pump down before the water flow to the unit is interrupted to avoid freeze-up in the
evaporator.
Leave S1 on and power to the unit so that the crankcase heaters will remain energized.

Start-up after Temporary Shutdown


1. Start the water pumps.
2. With the control system switch S1 in the “on” position, move the pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2
to the “auto pumpdown” position.
3. Observe the unit operation for a short time, noting unusual sounds or possible cycling of compressors.
4. Check compressor crankcase heaters.

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.

12 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


Start-up after Extended Shutdown
1. Inspect all equipment to see that it is in satisfactory operating condition.
2. Remove all debris that has collected on the surface of the condenser coils (remote condenser models)
or check the cooling tower, if present.
3. Backseat the compressor discharge valves. Always replace valve seal caps.
4. Open the manual liquid line shutoff valves.
5. Check circuit breakers. They must be in the “off” position.
6. Check to see that the pumpdown switches PS1 and PS2 are in the “manual shutdown” position and
the control system switch S1 is in the “off” position.
7. Put the main power and control circuit disconnects to the “on” position.
8. Allow the crankcase heaters to operate for at least 12 hours prior to start-up.
9. Start the chilled water pump and purge the water piping as well as the evaporator in the unit.
10. Start the system auxiliary equipment for the installation by turning on the time clock, ambient
thermostat and/or remote on/off switch.
11. Check that the MicroTech II controller is set to the desired chilled water temperature.
12. Check resets of all equipment protection controls.
13. Switch the unit circuit breakers to “on.”
14. Start the system by setting the system switch S1 to “on.”
! CAUTION
Most relays and terminals in the control center are powered when S1 is closed and the
control circuit disconnect is on. Therefore, do not close S1 until ready for start-up or
serious equipment damage can occur.

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.

Fan High Ambient Rapid Start


The following logic exists to get condenser fans started earlier than normal during unit starts with warm
ambient air temperatures.

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=10.0F Dead Band=3.0F StartDelta=5.0F StopDelta=2.0F LWT=40.0F
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 46.5F. 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, 41.5F in this case.
LWT Set 40.0°F 40.0°F
½ DB If the LWT stays above 41.5F, 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, 38.5F 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 38.5F 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 41.5F and the Stage Up Timer times out.

14 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


However, in some circumstances this methodology can cause the LWT to drop to dangerously low levels,
with the evaporating temperature below the freeze point, before stopping. In the example shown in
Figure 7, the Shutdown Temp (last compressor off) would be 36F.
This would result in a refrigerant evaporating temperature approaching freezing, so the rule is amended to
read:
If the Cool Leaving Water Temperature (LWT) set point is less than half the Control Band
above 39.0 F the Stage Down temperature is calculated as:
Stage Down Temperature = Cool LWT – (Cool LWT - 39.0 F), and the
Shutdown Temperature = Cool LWT – (Cool LWT - 39.0 F) – Stop Delta T
This keeps the Stage Down Temp above 39F and the Shutdown Temp above 36F, as the maximum Stop
Delta T allowed is 3-degrees.
Which compressor starts and stops. One compressor per circuit will start before starting the second
compressor (or third) on any circuit. In other words, the compressor with the lowest number of starts will
start first. The compressor with the lowest number of starts on the other circuit will start next, so that one
compressor on each circuit will be running. The third compressor on will be the compressor on either
circuit with the fewest starts. The remaining compressor will be the last on. If a circuit is unavailable for
any reason, the second compressor. on the operating circuit will stage on. Only two (or three)
compressors (on the one circuit) will be operating.
There is a 150 second delay after power-up before any compressor is allowed to start.
When staging down, one compressor on each circuit will be left on until each circuit has only one
compressor running. In other words, the compressor, on either circuit, with the most run-hours will stop
first. The compressor with the most run-hours on the other circuit will stop next. One compressor on
each circuit will be running. The third compressor off will be the one, on either circuit, with the most
run-hours. The remaining compressor will be the last off. See the following description of pumpdown.

Manual Compressor Disable Logic


Logic is available that allows the operator to manually enable and disable compressors. When a
compressor is disabled, it is considered unavailable to start in the staging logic. This allows a damaged
compressor to be taken offline while the remaining compressor can still provide some cooling
 The Compressor Disable set points are found on Compressor Set Points screens three and four.
 A running compressor cannot be disabled until it has been shutdown.
 If all of the compressors on a circuit are disabled, then the circuit will be disabled.
 If both circuits have all of their compressors disabled, then the Unit State will remain Off

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.

Chilled Water and Condenser Water Pumps


The chiller MicroTech II controller can be programmed to start and stop the system chilled water and
condenser water pumps. They may also be controlled by the BAS or manually. Programming directions
and the sequence of operation can be found beginning on page 39.

Cooling Tower Control


The cooling tower fans and/or the tower bypass valve can be controlled by the MicroTech II controller.
This provides a simple and direct method to control the unit’s discharge pressure. Programming
directions and the sequence of operation can be found on page 67. Some means of discharge pressure
control must be installed if the condenser water temperature can fall below 60F (16C).

Condenser Fan Control


Model AC chillers equipped with air-cooled or evaporative-cooled condensers usually require some form
of discharge pressure control. The MicroTech II controller can be programmed to provide this function
by cycling condenser fans based on the unit discharge pressure. Directions on the pressure settings can be
found on page 67. The following charts illustrate how four controller outputs can control six fan steps.

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

Controller Software Version


This manual is based on software version WGZD20102F. The “02F” is the version descriptor. The
version installed in a unit can be viewed by pressing the MENU and ENTER keys simultaneously, then
pressing MENU to return to the regular menu screen.

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.

Events & Alarms


Situations may arise that require some action from the chiller or that should be logged for future
reference. Conditions that cause a shutdown and require manual reset is known as a stop alarm. Other
conditions can trigger what is known as an event, which may or may not require action in response. All
stop alarms and events are logged.

Unit Stop Alarms


The alarm output and red button is turned ON when any stop alarm occurs and turned off when all alarms
have been cleared.

Evaporator Flow Loss


Alarm description (as shown on screen): Evaporator Flow Loss
Trigger:
1: Evaporator Pump State = Run AND Evaporator Flow Digital Input = No Flow for time > Evap Flow
Proof Set Point AND at least one compressor running.
2: Evaporator Pump State = Start for time greater than Recirc Timeout Set Point AND all pumps have
been tried AND Evaporator Flow Digital Input = No Flow.
Action Taken: Rapid stop all circuits.
Reset:
This alarm can be cleared at any time manually via the keypad or via the BAS clear alarm signal.

If active via trigger condition 1:

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.

If active via trigger condition 2:


If the flow loss alarm has occurred due to this trigger, it is always a manual reset alarm.

Condenser Flow Loss (Note: WaterCooled = On & TGZ units Only)


Alarm description (as shown on screen): Condenser Flow Loss
Trigger:
1: Condenser Pump State = Run AND Condenser Flow Digital Input = No Flow for time > Cond Flow
Proof Set Point AND at least one compressor running.
2: Condenser Pump State = Start for time greater than Recirc Timeout Set Point AND all pumps have
been tried AND Condenser Flow Digital Input = No Flow.
Action Taken: Rapid stop all circuits.
Reset:
This alarm can be cleared at anytime manually via the keypad or via the BAS clear alarm signal.

If active via trigger condition 1:


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 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.

If active via trigger condition 2:


If the flow loss alarm has occurred due to this trigger, it is always a manual reset alarm.

Low Evaporator Pressure


Alarm description (as shown on screen): Evap Press Low Cir N
Trigger: [Circuit State = Run AND Freezestat trip AND Low OAT Start not active]
OR Evaporator Press < Absolute Low Pressure Limit AND Circuit State = Run

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:

Freeze error = Low Evaporator Pressure Unload – Evaporator Pressure


Freeze time =
[60 – 2.7 x freeze error] with R134a refrigerant, limited to a range of 20-60 seconds
[60 – 1.6 x freeze error] with R22 and R407C refrigerant, limited to a range of 20-60 seconds
[60 – freeze error] with R410A refrigerant, limited to a range of 20-60 seconds

26 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


When the evaporator pressure goes below the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload set point, a timer starts.
If this timer exceeds the freeze time, then a ‘Evap Press Low Cir N’ alarm trip occurs. If the evaporator
pressure rises to the unload set point or higher, and the freeze time has not been exceeded, the timer will
reset.
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad if the evaporator pressure is above the absolute
low-pressure limit.
High Condenser Pressure
Alarm description (as shown on screen): Cond Press High Cir N
Trigger: Condenser Pressure > High Condenser Pressure Set Point
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad.
Mechanical High Pressure/Motor Protect
Alarm description (as shown on screen): MHP or Motor Prot N
Trigger: MHP/MP input is low and over 150 seconds lapsed since controller boot-up
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad if the MHP/MP input is high.
Phase Voltage Protection
Alarm description (as shown on screen): Phase/Voltage Cir N
Trigger: PVM input is low and Phase Voltage set point = enable.
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit

Suction Temperature Sensor Fault


Alarm description (as shown on screen): SuctT Sensor Fail N
Trigger: Sensor shorted or open AND Expansion Valve Type = Electronic
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad, but only if the sensor is back in range.

Evaporator Pressure Sensor Fault


Alarm description (as shown on screen): EvapP Sensor Fail N
Trigger: Sensor shorted or open. If failing high (open), logic has been added that requires the Leaving
Evaporator Temperature to be below 75°F. This will prevent nuisance trips due to conditions where the
evaporator water temperature is high which could cause false alarms.
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad, but only if the sensor is back in range.

Condenser Pressure Sensor Fault


Alarm description (as shown on screen): CondP Sensor Fail N
Trigger: Sensor shorted or open

Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad or via the BAS clear alarm signal, but only if
the alarm trigger conditions no longer exist.

No Pressure Change at Start


Alarm description (as shown on screen): NoPressChgAtStartN
Trigger: Circuit has failed twice on a No Pressure Change at Start Condition. A No Pressure Change at
Start Condition indicates that after the start of the first compressor on the circuit, at least a 1 psi drop in
evaporator pressure OR a 1 psi increase in condenser pressure has not occurred after 15 seconds of
compressor operation.
Action Taken: Rapid stop circuit
Reset: This alarm can be cleared manually via the keypad.

EXB Comm Failure on CP1


Alarm description (as shown on screen): No EXB comm CP1
Trigger: CP1 does not have communication with either EXB1 for 60 seconds after power up. This alarm
will only occur if 10 Fan , evaporator pump #2, or condenser pump #2 operation is selected. After
communication is established, when communication is lost to either EXB an immediate shutdown occurs.

28 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


Action Taken: Rapid stop all circuits
Reset: Auto clear when EXB1 is communicating with CP1.

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 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.

In cooling mode, the Control Band is calculated as follows:

Control Band = Evap Delta Temperature Set Point * 0.3 Four compressor units
Control Band = Evap Delta Temperature Set Point * 0.2 Six compressor units

In heating mode, the Control Band is calculated as follows:

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)

If the Unit mode is Cool:


When the Cool Leaving Water Temperature set point is more than half the Control Band above
39.0 F the Stage Up temperature is calculated as follows:
Stage Up Temperature = Cool LWT + (Control Band/2)

The Stage Down temperature is calculated as:


Stage Down Temperature = Cool LWT – (Control Band/2)
If the Cool Leaving Water Temperature set point is less than half the Control Band above 39.0 F the
Stage Down temperature is calculated as:
Stage Down Temperature = Cool LWT – (Cool LWT - 39.0 F)

Stage Up temperature is calculated as:


Stage Up temperature = Cool LWT + Control Band – (Cool LWT – 39.0F)

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.

Heating Mode (only for TGZ unit Refrig = R134a)


The Active Leaving Water set point is adjusted by the 4 to 20 mA reset analog input.
Parameters used:

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.

Reset Type = Return (only for TGZ unit, Refrig = R134a)


Cooling Mode
The Active Cooling Leaving Water set point is adjusted based upon the difference between the chiller’s
entering and leaving evaporator water temperatures.

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.

34 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


The
active heating leaving water set point is reset using the following parameters:
1. Heating Leaving Water Temperature set point (Heat LWT)
2. Heating Maximum Reset set point (Htg MaxRes)
3. Heating Start Reset Delta Temperature (Htg StrtResDT)
4. Condenser Delta Temperature (condenser leaving water temperature minus entering temperature)
Reset is accomplished by changing the Active Heating Leaving Water set point from the Heat LWT set
point to the value of [Heat LWT (-) Heating Maximum Reset set points] as the condenser delta
temperature (leaving minus entering) varies from the Heating Start Reset Delta T set point towards 0ºF
delta temperature.

Active LWT Set Point


The active LWT set point represents the current control set point based on unit mode and reset. If unit
mode is ice, then the active set point is equal to the ice set point. If the unit mode is cool, the active set
point is the cool set point plus the leaving water reset value. If the unit mode is heat, the active set point is
the heat set point minus the leaving water reset value.

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

The equation for heat mode is:


LWT error = active LWT set point – LWT

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.

Pull Down Rate


The slope value calculated above will be a negative value as the water temperature is dropping. For use
in some control functions, the negative slope is converted to a positive value by multiplying by –1.

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.

R134a Evaporator Saturated Temperatures (Templifiers only)


When R134a refrigerant is selected the refrigerant pressure will be fitted to a curve made up of 12
straight-line segments. The accuracy of calculated saturated temperatures is +/- 0.5º F when compared to
standard look up tables for R134a refrigerant.

Condenser Saturated Temperature


Condenser saturated temperature shall be calculated from the condenser 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.
R134a Evaporator Saturated Temperatures (Templifiers only)
When R134a refrigerant is selected the refrigerant pressure will be fitted to a curve made up of 12
straight-line segments. The accuracy of calculated saturated temperatures is +/- 0.5º F when compared to
standard look up tables for R134a refrigerant.

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

For R407c refrigerant the equation is:


Evaporator Approach = LWT – Evaporator Saturated Temperature + 4.0º F

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:

Pumpdown pressure = Low evap pressure unload – 15 psi

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.

36 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


Changing the Unit Enable Set Point is accomplished according to the following table.
NOTE: An “x” indicates that the value is ignored.
Unit Off Control Source Remote Key- BAS Unit

x SWITCHES OFF x x OFF
ON SWITCHES ON x x ON
ON KEYPAD x OFF x OFF

ON NETWORK OFF x x OFF
ON NETWORK ON x ON ON

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.

Unit Test Mode


The unit test mode allows manual testing of controller outputs. Entering this mode requires the following
conditions:
 Unit Switch = OFF
 Manager password active.
 Available Unit Mode set point = TEST
A test menu can then be selected to allow activation of the outputs. It shall be possible to switch each
digital output ON or OFF and set the analog outputs to any value.
Circuit Available
A circuit is available if the circuit switch is in the on position and no circuit alarms are active. Timers that
delay startup or staging of a circuit do not render it unavailable.

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:

#1 only – Pump 1 will always be used.


#2 only – Pump 2 will always be used.
Auto – The primary pump is the one with the least run hours, the other is used as a backup.
#1 Primary – Pump 1 is used normally, with pump 2 as a backup.
#2 Primary – Pump 2 is used normally, with pump 1 as a backup.

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.

Condenser Fans – Air Cooled


Air-cooled condenser fan control is active only when the water cooled set point is set to off.
Fantrol
Fans 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 are for circuit #1, and fans 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 are for circuit 2. Fans 1 and 2 start with
the first compressor on the respective circuit when the ambient temperature is greater than 75°F. Below
75°F, these fans start when the condenser saturated temperature gets up to the condenser saturated
temperature target. The compressor must be running in order to run any fans. R22 and R407C units are
limited to 8 fans.
Fan Stages
There are 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 fans available per circuit. On 8, 10, and 12 fan units, fans 5/7, 6/8, 9/11 and 10/12
are controlled by one contactor for each pair, using virtual stages to allow a difference of only one fan
between stages, See tables below:

Normal Operation – Staging Up


At startup, the first fan will start when the saturated condenser temperature rises above the target. After
this, the stage up deadbands apply.
When the saturated condenser temperature is above the Target + the active deadband, a Stage Up error is
accumulated.
Stage Up Error Step = Saturated Condenser Refrigerant temperature – (Target + Stage Up dead band)
The Stage Up Error Step is added the Stage Up Accumulator once every Stage Up Error Delay seconds.
When Stage Up Error Accumulator is greater than the Stage Up Error Set Point another stage is started.
When a stage up occurs or the saturated condenser temperature falls back within the Stage Up dead band
the Stage Up Accumulator is reset to zero.

Normal Operation – Staging Down


There are four Stage Down dead bands, one for each stage.
When the saturated condenser refrigerant temperature is below the condenser saturated temperature target
– the active dead band, a Stage Down error is accumulated.
Stage Down Error Step = (Target – Stage Down dead band) – Saturated Condenser Refrigerant
temperature

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.

Forced Fan Stage at Start


Fans may be started simultaneously with the compressor based on outdoor ambient temperature. When
the compressor starts, and after compressor operation is verified by either a 1 psi drop in evaporator or 1
psi rise in condenser pressures, a Fantrol stage is forced based on the following table.

OAT Fantrol Stage At Start


>75°F Forced Fan 1 SP
>90°F Forced Fan 2 SP
>105°F Forced Fan 3 SP
Up to four fans may be forced on when the compressor starts.
After forcing fans on, the saturated condenser temperature may temporarily stay below the target by some
amount. In order to keep the fans from staging off, no stage down error can be accumulated until either
the OAT drops below 75°F or the saturated condenser temperature goes above the target.

Condenser Pump and Tower Control – Water Cooled


Condenser pump and cooling tower control logic requires that the unit be configured as water-cooled in
order to be active.

Pump Selection
The pump output used will be determined by the Cond Pump Control set point. The setting allows the
following configurations:

#1 only – Pump 1 will always be used.


#2 only – Pump 2 will always be used.
Auto – The primary pump is the one with the least run hours, the other is used as a backup.
#1 Primary – Pump 1 is used normally, with pump 2 as a backup.
#2 Primary – Pump 2 is used normally, with pump 1 as a backup.
Primary/Standby Pump Staging
The pump designated as primary will start first. If the condenser state is start for a time greater than the
re-circulate timeout set point and there is no flow, then the primary pump will shut off and the standby
pump will start. When the condenser 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 condenser start state, or if
the flow is lost in the condenser run state.
Auto Control
If auto pump control is selected, the primary/standby logic above is till used. When the condenser 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
Condenser Water Flow Loss
The Condenser 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 Condenser Flow Loss Alarm.

 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.

Initial Valve Position

Max Position @

(90°F)

Min Position @

Set Point (10%) Set Point (90%)

Operation After Start


When the condenser pump is in the RUN state, the valve output will be controlled in one of two modes as
specified by the Valve/VFD Control set point. The controlled parameter will be the condenser entering
water temperature. When the desired output signal varies from 0 to 100%, the output voltage will vary as
shown below.
0 to 10 VDC (Valve Type = NC to tower)
10 to 0 VDC (Valve Type = NO to tower)
Valve Set Point Mode
This mode is operational when the Valve/VFD Control set point is set to Valve Set Point OR Valve
SP/VFD Stage. In this mode the valve output is varied with a proportional-derivative (PD) algorithm
(with dead band) in order to maintain the controlled parameter (CP) at the desired value. The output is

44 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


always limited between the Valve Control Range (Min) set point and the Valve Control Range (Max) set
point. A valve increment shall be computed once every 5 seconds according to the following equation.
Increment = [(Error) * (Error Gain set point)] + [(Slope) * (Slope Gain set point)]
Where: Error = ECWT – Valve Set Point Slope = (Present CP) – (Previous CP)
When the Error is > the Valve Deadband set point, the valve position analog output (% of full scale) is
updated according to the following equation.
New %Position = Old %Position + Increment/10.
Valve Stage Mode
This mode is only operational when the Valve/VFD Control set point is set to Valve Stage. In this mode
the valve output is controlled as for Valve Set Point mode (above) except that the active set point for the
controlled parameter is selected according to the following table.
Number Of Fans ON Active Set Point
0 Valve Set Point
1 Stage #1 ON
2 Stage #2 ON

Cooling Tower Fan VFD


When the Valve/VFD Control set point is set to None, Valve Setpoint, OR Valve Stage, this output will be
set to 0. Otherwise, it will be controlled in a manner identical to Valve Stage Mode (above) except that
(1) it will be kept at zero until the first fan stage is ON and (2) the following set points do not apply.
Valve Control Range (Min)
Valve Control Range (Max)

Compressor Start/Stop Timing


This section determines when to start or stop a compressor. There are two separate functions used, one
for staging up and one for staging down.
Stage Up Now
The Stage Up Now flag is set based on the following tests:

If Unit mode = Cool AND


no compressors are running AND
LWT error > Start delta + 0.5 * Control Band AND
Motor Protect Timer expired AND
Stage up timer expired THEN
Stage Up Now = True

If Unit Mode = Cool 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

If Unit mode = Heat AND


no compressors are running AND
LWT error > Start delta + 0.5 * Control Band AND
Motor Protect Timer expired AND
Stage up timer expired THEN
Stage Up Now = True

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:

If Unit Mode = Cool AND


LWT error < -0.5 * Control band AND
More than one compressor running AND
Stage down timer expired THEN
Stage Down Now = True

If Unit Mode = Cool AND


LWT error < (-0.5 * Control band - stop delta) AND
One compressor running AND
Stage down timer expired THEN
Stage Down Now = True

If Unit Mode = Cool AND


Number of compressors running > Demand limit AND
Stage down timer expired THEN
Stage Down Now = True

If Unit Mode = Heat AND


LWT error < -0.5 * Control band AND
More than one compressor running AND
Stage down timer expired THEN
Stage Down Now = True

If Unit Mode = Heat AND


LWT error < (-0.5 * Control band - stop delta) AND
One compressor running AND
Stage down timer expired THEN
Stage Down Now = True

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.

46 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


Low Ambient Start (WaterCooled = NO)
In order to avoid low evaporator pressure alarms at startup, low OAT start logic allows for running at low
evaporator pressures for a longer time than normal as well allowing multiple compressor restart attempts
before locking out the circuit.
Low Ambient Start Procedure
A low OAT start is initiated if the condenser refrigerant saturated temperature is less than 85.0F when the
first compressor starts. Once the compressor starts the circuit is in a low OAT start state for a time equal
to the Low OAT Start Time set point. During Low OAT Starts, the freezestat logic and low evaporator
pressure events are disabled. The absolute limit for low evaporator pressure is enforced and the
compressor will shutdown if the evaporator pressure gets down to 5.0 psi. For R410a, the absolute limit
for low evaporator pressure is 20.0 psi.

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

High Condenser Pressure – Unload Logic


If the discharge pressure rises above the High Condenser Pressure Unload set point and more than one
compressor on the circuit is running, the circuit will stage down. One compressor will shut down as soon
as the pressure rises above the unload set point and if two remain running then one more will shut down
OMM 1130 47
10 seconds later if the pressure is still above the unload set point. On that circuit’s VIEW CIRCUITn (1)
screen is displayed the “Hold Clear @” value which is the limit by which the condenser pressure must
drop to allow for additional loading. A High Condenser Pressure Unload event will be recorded in the
Event Log.

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.

Unit Capacity Overrides


The following conditions shall override the automatic capacity control when the chiller is in cool mode
only.
Demand Limit
The maximum unit capacity can be limited by a 4 to 20 mA signal on the Demand Limit analog input.
This function is only enabled if the Demand Limit set point is set to ON. The maximum unit capacity
stage is determined as shown in the following graph.

Any signal less than 4 mA does not limit the chiller capacity.
Network Limit
The maximum unit capacity can be limited by a network signal. This function is only enabled if the unit
control source is set to network. The maximum unit capacity stage is based on the network limit value
received from the BAS, and is determined as shown in the following graph.

Network Limit (%) Network Limit (%)


In order to allow all stages to run, a signal of 100.0% is required.

Maximum LWT Rate


The maximum rate at which the leaving water temperature can drop is limited by the Maximum Pull
Down Rate set point when the unit mode is cool. If the rate exceeds this set point, no more compressors
shall be started until the pull down rate is less than the set point. Running compressors will not be
stopped as a result of exceeding the maximum pull down rate.

Low Ambient Lockout (Water Cooled = NO Only)


If the OAT drops below the low ambient lockout set point, then all running circuits will do a normal stop,
after the compressors have stopped the evaporator water pump will stop. Once the lockout has been

OMM 1130 49
triggered, the evaporator water pump will remain off and no compressors will start until the OAT rises to
the lockout set point plus 5F.

Manual Compressor Control


The operator can manually enable and disable individual compressors. When a compressor has been
disabled it is considered unavailable to start in the staging logic. With Manual Compressor control it is
possible to take a damaged compressor offline while the remaining compressors on the circuit can still
provide some cooling.

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”.

Normal Circuit Shutdown


If a condition arises that requires a circuit to shut down, but it is not an emergency situation, then the
circuit will do a pump down. A normal circuit shutdown will be initiated when any of the following
occur:
 Unit State = Pump Down
 Circuit Switch = Off
 Low Ambient Lockout
 A normal stage down occurs, and only one compressor on the circuit is running
 Unit mode = Ice AND the ice set point is reached
Pump Down Procedure
 If both compressors are running, shut off the appropriate compressor based on sequencing logic
 With one compressor left running, turn off hot gas output and liquid line output
 Keep running until evaporator pressure reaches the pump down pressure, then stop compressor
 If evaporator pressure does not reach pump down pressure within two minutes, stop compressor and
record a Failed Pumpdown event in the Event Log.

Rapid Circuit Shutdown


A situation may arise that requires a circuit to shut down immediately, without doing a pumpdown. This
rapid shutdown will be triggered by any of the following:

Unit State = Off


Circuit Alarm
Low ambient start attempt failed

All compressors, hot gas, and liquid line outputs should be turned off immediately for a rapid shutdown.

Liquid Line Solenoid


The liquid line output shall be on any time a compressor on the circuit is running and the circuit is not
performing a pump down. This output should be off at all other times.

Hot Gas Bypass Solenoid


This output shall be on when one compressor on the circuit is running and the circuit is not performing a
pump down. The output should be off at all other times including the delay time described below.

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.

50 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


EXV Control
The EXV control logic is active regardless of the expansion valve type setting. While a circuit is in the
run state, the EXV controls suction superheat. The superheat target is 8oF. PID logic will be used to
control the superheat to the target value.

Any time the circuit is not in the run state, the EXV position should be 0.

EXV Control Range


The table below shows the EXV range based on the number of compressors running and number of
compressors on unit.

Number of Valve Compressors Running


Compressors Position 1 2 3

EXV Min 8% 8% -
4
EXV Max 60% 100% -

EXV Min 8% 8% 8%
6
EXV Max 35% 45% 65%

Manual EXV Control


The EXV position can be set manually. Manual control can only be selected when the circuit is in the
run state. At any other time, the EXV control set point is forced to auto.

When EXV control is set to auto, the manual EXV position setting follows the auto control position.
When EXV control is set to manual, the EXV position is equal to the manual EXV position setting.

Maximum EXV Operating Pressure


This logic only applies to TGZ units (Refrig = R134a) equipped with electronic expansion valves.
The purpose of this logic is to prevent the operating circuit’s evaporator pressure from exceeding the
‘MaxOpPress’ set point (found on “SET COMP SPs (6) screen) and overloading the compressors.
The electronic expansion valves (EEV) will close to prevent the operating circuit’s evaporator
pressure from exceeding the ‘MaxOpPress’ set point.

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.

Navigating Through the Menus


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 general content of each screen and its location in the
matrix are shown in Figure 10. (A detailed description of each menu begins on page 54.) There are two
ways to navigate through the menu matrix to reach a desired menu screen.
One is to scroll through the matrix from one screen to another using the four ARROW keys.
The other way is to use shortcuts to work through the matrix hierarchy. From any menu screen, pressing
the MENU key will take you to the top level of the hierarchy. The display will show ALARM, VIEW,
and SET as shown in Figure 8. This corresponds to the second row of screens on Figure 10. One of these
groups of screens can then be selected by pressing the key connected to it via the pathway shown in
Figure 8 on page 19.
For example, selecting ALARM will go the next row of menus under ALARM (ALARM LOG or
ACTIVE ALARM). Selecting VIEW will go the next level of screens under VIEW (VIEW UNIT
STATUS or VIEW UNIT TEMP). Selecting SET will go to a series of screens for looking at and
changing setpoints.
After pressing the MENU button, the top-level menu screen will show:
< ALARM
< VIEW
< SET
<
After pressing the “VIEW” menu button, a menu screen will show:
VIEW < COMPRESSOR
< UNIT
< EVAPORATOR
< FANS
After pressing the “EVAPORATOR” menu button, the selected data screen will show:
VIEW EVAP
(screen data)
(screen data)
(screen data)
The arrow keys will automatically return to the “scroll” mode at this time.

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

52 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


time) by using the four ARROW keys. A typical menu screen is shown in the following figure. Pressing
the MENU key from any menu screen will automatically return you to the MENU mode.

ARROW ENTER Key


ENTER Key
Pressing the ENTER key changes the function of the ARROW keys to the editing function as shown
below:
LEFT key Default, changes a value to the factory-set default value.
RIGHT key Cancel, cancels any change made to a value and returns to the original setting.
UP key Increment, increases the value of the setting
DOWN key Decrement decreases the value of a setting.
These four edit functions are indicated by one-character abbreviation on the right side of the display (this
mode is entered by pressing the ENTER key).
Most menus containing setpoint values have several different setpoints shown on one menu. When in a
setpoint menu, the ENTER key is used to proceed from the top line to the second line and on downward.
The cursor will blink at the entry point for making a change. The ARROW keys (now in the edit mode)
are used to change the setpoint as described above. When the change has been made, press the ENTER
key to enter it. Nothing is changed until the ENTER key is pressed.
For example, to change the chilled water setpoint:
1. Press MENU key to go to the MENU mode.
2. Press SET (the UP Key) to go to the setpoint menus.
3. Press UNIT SPs (the Right key) to go to setpoints associated with unit operation.
4. Press the DOWN key to scroll down through the setpoint menus to the third menu which contains
Evap LWT=XX.XF.
5. Press the ENTER key to move the cursor down from the top line to the second line in order to make
the change.
6. Use the ARROW keys (now in the edit mode as shown above) to change the setting.
7. When the desired value is achieved, press ENTER to enter it and also move the cursor down.
At this point, the following actions can be taken:
1. Change another setpoint in this menu by scrolling to it with the ENTER key.
2. Using the ENTER key, scroll to the first line in the menu. From there the ARROW keys can be used
to scroll to different menus.
Menu Screens
Various menus are shown in the controller display. Each menu screen shows specific information, in
some cases menus are only to view status of the unit, in some cases for checking alarms, and in some
cases they are used to set setpoint values that can be changed.

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.

Unit Enable settings can be OFF and ON as determined from the Unit Enable setpoint.
Unit Enable is an external signal or a keypad setting that keeps the unit off when the setting is OFF and
allows it to run if there is a call for cooling when the setting is ON. The source for the signal is selected
in the 4th line and can be:
 KEYPAD, in which case the selection is made in line 2 and would be normally selected as ON. This
is the normal setting when no external signals are controlling the unit.
 SWITCHES, in which an external switch is wired across terminals #40 and #53. (See wiring diagram
page 8 or 9.)
 NETWORK, used with BAS signal, which is wired to the three communication ports.
 Unit Mode settings can be
 COOL, normal setting used with chilled water air-condition applications.
 COOL w/GLYCOL, used with low temperature, glycol applications. It allows a lower LWT setpoint
to be used.
 ICE w/GLYCOL, used with ice storage systems, allows changing from chilled glycol operation to
lower temperature ICE operation. In ICE, the unit runs at full load until the ICE setpoint is reached,

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).

Stage ON Temp is the entering condenser water temperature (ECWT) that will turn on tower fan #1 and

can cause erratic operation. Settings below 60F are not recommended.

StageDiff is the number of degrees below the Stage ON that will turn off the tower fans. For example, if
Stage ON #1 is 70F and StageDiff is 5F, tower fan #1 will stage off when the ECWT drops to 65F and
stage the fan on when the ECWT rises to 70F. The same is true for fan #2.
Stage Up timer is the number of minutes that must elapse between the condenser pump starting (it starts
with the unit) and fan #1 starting or the time between fan #1 starting and fan #2 starting.
StageDown is the elapsed time between staging down the fan motors.

Valve/VFD Control settings are None, Valve Setpoint, Valve Stage, VFD Stage, or ValveSP/VFDStage.
Default is None which results in no control of the tower from the MicroTech II controller.
Valve Setpoint, the valve will control (bypass tower) to hold the minimum temperature as established by
the Set Tower SPs in screen (5) below.
This mode is operational when the Valve/VFD Control setpoint is set to Valve Setpoint OR Valve SP/VFD
Stage. In this mode the valve output is varied with a proportional-derivative (PD) algorithm (with
deadband) in order to maintain the controlled parameter (CP) at the desired value. The output is always
limited between the Valve Control Range (Min) setpoint and the Valve Control Range (Max) setpoint. A
valve increment shall be computed once every 5 seconds according to the following equation. (Error Gain
and Slope Gain are set in menu screen #8.)
Increment = [(Error) * (Error Gain setpoint)] + [(Slope) * (Slope Gain setpoint)]
Where: Error = ECWT – Valve Setpoint
Slope = (Present CP) – (Previous CP)
When the Error is > the Valve Deadband setpoint, the valve position analog output (% of full scale) is
updated according to the following equation.
New %Position = Old %Position + Increment/10
Valve Stage, controls from the fan stage setpoint in use. It is recommended that the Valve Setpoint
method explained above be used rather than this mode.
This mode is only operational when the Valve/VFD Control setpoint is set to Valve Stage. In this mode
the valve output is controlled as for Valve Setpoint mode (above), except that the active setpoint for the
controlled parameter is selected according to the following table.

Heat 1 3 3
Cool 3 2 2
Ice 11 1 1
Any time the chiller is not in Ice mode, Cool mode will be assumed.

LON Chiller Run Mode


Applies to Integer 18. The LON Chiller Run Mode parameter indicates the unit state as follows:

State LONworks BACnet Modbus


Off 0 1 1
Run 2 3 3
Service 4 5 5
State = Off any time the state is not Run or Service
State = Run when the unit state is Auto
State = Service when the unit is in Test mode

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)

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.

Optional Controls

Phase/Voltage Monitor (Optional)


The phase/voltage monitor is a device that provides protection against three-phase electrical motor loss
due to power failure conditions, phase loss, and phase reversal. Whenever any of these conditions occur,
an input relay is deactivated, disconnecting power to the thermostatic control circuit. The compressor
does a rapid shutdown including a pump down cycle.
The input relay remains deactivated until power line conditions return to an acceptable level. Trip and
reset delays have been provided to prevent nuisance tripping due to rapid power fluctuations.
When three-phase power has been applied, the input relay should close and the “run light” should come
on. If the relay does not close, perform the following tests.
1. Check the voltages between L1-L2, L1-L3, and L2-L3. These voltages should be approximately equal
and within +10% of the rated three-phase line-to-line voltage.
2. If these voltages are extremely low or widely unbalanced, check the power system to determine the
cause of the problem.
3. If the voltages are good, turn off the power and inter-change any two of the supply power leads at the
disconnect switch.
This may be necessary, as the phase/voltage monitor is sensitive to phase reversal. Turn on the power. The
relay should now close after the appropriate delay.
Factory settings are as follows:
Voltage Setting, set at nameplate voltage.
Trip Delay Time, 2 seconds
Restart Delay Time, 60 seconds

Hot Gas Bypass (Optional)


This option allows passage of discharge gas to the evaporator, permitting operation at lower loads than
available with compressor unloading. It also keeps the velocity of refrigerant gas high enough for proper
oil return at light load conditions.
The pressure regulating valve is a Sporlan SHGBE-8 and factory set to begin opening at 69 psig and can
be changed by changing the pressure setting. The adjustment range is 0 to 100 psig. To raise the pressure
setting, remove the cap on the bulb and turn the adjustment screw clockwise. To lower the setting, turn
the screw counterclockwise. Do not force the adjustment beyond the range it is designed for, as this will
damage the adjustment assembly. The regulating valve opening point can be determined by slowly
reducing the system load while observing the suction pressure. When the bypass valve starts to open, the
refrigerant line on the evaporator side of the valve will begin to feel warm to the touch.

WARNING
The hot gas line can become hot enough to cause personal injury in a very short time;
care should be taken during valve checkout.

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.

78 WGZ030D through WGZ200D OMM 1130


All tandem and triple compressors on WGZ units come equipped with oil equalization lines connecting
the crankcase of each set of compressors in each refrigerant circuit. This allows the oil to move from one
compressor crankcase to the other during normal operation, and balance between the two when the
compressors are off. The oil sight glass is located in the equalization line on one circuit of the WGZ070
and both circuits of WGZ080 through WGZ100. All other models have the oil sight glass in the
compressor body. In either case, the oil level should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the glass.
The units are factory-charged with lubricant and one of the following lubricants must be used if lubricant
is to be added to the system:
 Copeland Ultra 22 CC
 Mobil EAL Arctic 22 CC
 ICI EMKARATE RL RL 32CF
Since POEs are very hygroscopic, they will quickly absorb moisture if exposed to air. Pump the lubricant
into the unit through a closed transfer system. Avoid overcharging the unit.
Oil can be added to the Copeland compressor through the oil fill hole in the crankcase. Special
equipment is required to add oil and the work should be done by qualified refrigeration technicians with
the proper training and equipment.
! WARNING
This unit contains POE lubricants that must be handled carefully and the proper protective equipment (gloves,
eye protection, etc.) must be used when handling POE lubricant. POE must not come into contact with any
surface or material that might be harmed by POE, including certain polymers (e.g. PVC/CPVC and
polycarbonate piping).

Sightglass and Moisture Indicator


The refrigerant sight glasses should be observed periodically. A monthly observation should be
adequate. A clear glass of liquid indicates that there is adequate refrigerant charge in the system to
provide proper feed through the expansion valve. The sight glass should be clear when:
 Ambient temperature is above 75F (23C)
 Both compressors on a circuit are running
 All fans on a circuit are running
Bubbling refrigerant in the sight glass may occur at other conditions and may indicate that the system
is short of refrigerant charge. Refrigerant gas flashing in the sight glass could also indicate an
excessive pressure drop in the line, possibly due to a clogged filter-drier or a restriction elsewhere in
the system. An element inside the sight glass indicates what moisture condition corresponds to a given
element color. If the sight glass does not indicate a dry condition after about 12 hours of operation, the
unit should be pumped down and the filter-driers changed.
If the system is suspected of being short of refrigerant, a qualified service technician with EPA
certification should be contacted to thoroughly check out the unit and add refrigerant if necessary.
Crankcase Heaters
The compressors are equipped with crankcase heaters. The function of the heater is to keep the
temperature in the crankcase high enough to prevent refrigerant from migrating to the crankcase and
condensing in the oil during off-cycle. When a system is to be started up initially, the power to the
heaters should be turned on for at least 12 hours before the compressors are started. The crankcase
should be up to about 80°F (26.7°C) before the system is started up, to minimize lubrication problems
or liquid slugging of compressor on start-up.
If the crankcase is cool (below 80°F) (26.7°C) and the oil level in the sight glass is full to top, allow
more time for oil to warm before starting the compressor. The crankcase heaters are on whenever
power is supplied to the unit and the compressor is not running.

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.

Liquid Line Solenoid Valve


The liquid line solenoid valve(s), which are responsible for automatic pumpdown during
normal unit operation, do not normally require any maintenance. However, in the event of
failure they can require replacement of the solenoid coil or of the entire valve assembly.
The solenoid coil can be removed from the valve body without opening the refrigerant piping
by moving pumpdown switch(es) PS1 and PS2 to the “manual” position.
The coil can then be removed from the valve body by simply removing a nut or snap-ring
located at the top of the coil. The coil can then be slipped off its mounting stud for
replacement. Be sure to replace the coil on its mounting stud before returning pumpdown
switch(es) PS1 and PS2 to the “auto pumpdown” position.
To replace the entire solenoid valve, follow the steps for changing a filter-drier.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve


The expansion valve is responsible for allowing the proper amount of refrigerant to enter the
evaporator regardless of cooling load. It does this by maintaining a constant superheat.
(Superheat is the difference between refrigerant temperature as it leaves the evaporator and the
saturation temperature corresponding to the evaporator pressure). All WGZ chillers are factory
set for between 8°F and 12°F (4.4°C to 6.7°C) superheat at full load.
To increase the superheat setting of the valve, remove the cap at the bottom of the valve to
expose the adjustment screw. Turn the screw clockwise (when viewed from the adjustment
screw end) to increase the superheat and counterclockwise to reduce superheat. Allow time for
system rebalance after each superheat adjustment.
The expansion valve, like the solenoid valve, should not normally require replacement, but if it
does, the unit must be pumped down by following the steps involved when changing a filter-
drier.

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.

Table 8, Thermostatic Expansion Valve

! 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.
