5-5 Remote Air-Cooled SCW Series Startup

1. Start the chiller by pushing the

Start

button on the control

panel of the unit.

2. The touchscreen will display the Main Menu screen.

3. If your chiller has been setup to control the pump tank, the

recirculation pump will turn on first, then after 5 seconds
the process pump will turn on. If configured with a standby
pump, the lead/lag will control which pump turns on.

4. Fifteen (15) seconds after the last pump turns on, the first

compressor will turn on. Based on the temperature of the
water, the controller will turn on compressors every 15
seconds.

5. Adjust the Freezestat cut-out, located in the main electrical

enclosure, to 10°F (6ºC) below the process temperature set
point you want.

Note: If the recirculation pump does not turn on (or that the flow switch is not satisfied) the

compressors will not be allowed to turn on.

6. Check the pump(s) amp draws and pressures. The amp

draws must be within the pump(s) running load and service
factor amps.

7. Operate the chiller, looking for leaks and listening for

unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate improper
operation.

8. Check condenser fans for pressure switch settings as shown

in the table below:
