The Value setting is the factory default setting on free-cooling and dual cooling units. If the tempera-
ture difference between the second source cooling fluid parameter, Free-cooling Fluid Temperature
(User Menu, Sensor Data) and room air is equal to or greater than the adjustable DT Between Room
Air / FC Fluid (Service Menu, Setpoints) value, then the second source cooling fluid will be used to
provide at least partial cooling (delta T between room and glycol = true).
Sensors used for this delta T are: room/local sensor or the return air sensor; and the glycol sensor.
If this delta T is true, the following actions will be performed:
1. The Free-Cooling Status indication will show “On” instead of “Off”.
2. The compressor band will be shifted to the right by 100%, and within the first 100% the free-
cooling valve band will take place (see Figure 18).

Minimum Chilled Water Temperature—This feature permits the user to select the minimum
chilled water temperature that allows simultaneous operation of the second cooling source (chilled
water control) and compressor control. This feature is enabled in the Service menu under Setpoints,
parameter Minimum CW Temp.
Below this minimum chilled water setpoint, parameter Minimum CW Temp Value, (Service Menu,
Setpoints), the control will operate ONLY the second cooling source control, i.e., the compressor is
locked out. Above the minimum chilled water setpoint, assuming the fluid temperature is below the
return room air temperature (delta T between room and glycol = true), the control will operate the
second cooling source control and compressor control simultaneously if needed.
If the Minimum CW Temp is disabled, the second cooling source temperature is ignored, the control
will always operate the second cooling source and compressors simultaneously when the load requires
it.
