SMC Series Chillers

5 Microprocessor

Control

5-1 Introduction

Standard SMC Series chillers use a microprocessor-based PID controller. The
controller is a modular, self-contained unit that can slide from its mounting housing. It
is factory set and adjusted; no field adjustment to the internal controls is necessary.

SMC Control Operation Range

Standard models

30°F to 65°F (-1ºC to 18ºC)

during setup and error messages if an error occurs.

SV or Set Value Numeric LED

During normal operation, the green

SV

LED on the controller displays the process set

point you want the chiller to maintain. It also displays parameter and pre-set function
