SAFETY SYMBOLS
The following symbols are used in this document to alert the reader to specific situations:
External wiring, unless specified as an optional connection in the manufacturer’s product line, is not
to be connected inside the control cabinet. Devices such as relays, switches, transducers and controls
and any external wiring must not be installed inside the micro panel. All wiring must be in accor-
dance with Johnson Controls’ published specifications and must be performed only by a qualified
electrician. Johnson Controls will NOT be responsible for damage/problems resulting from improper
connections to the controls or application of improper control signals. Failure to follow this warn-
ing will void the manufacturer’s warranty and cause serious damage to property or personal injury.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
VGD = “Variable Geometry Diffuser” VGD accomplishes this by eliminating aerodynamic
turbulance within the diffuser by tuning the diffuser
VGD eliminates the rise in noise and vibration - as geometry (width) to match flow.
issues that can arise with all centrifugal compressors
when they encounter extreme conditions.

TEMPERATURE
To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius
(°C), subtract 32° and multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
Example: (45.0°F - 32°) x 0.5556 = 7.22°C
To convert a temperature range (i.e., a range of 10°F)
from Fahrenheit to Celsius, multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
Example: 10.0°F range x 0.5556 = 5.6 °C range
