18. Verify proper communications from each module back
to the master controller using the “STATUS” menu, then 
indexing down to the desired compressor data screen. 
• If the compressor data parameters all read “0,” 
 then communications are not yet established, and 
 communications cable troubleshooting is required. 
• When all compressor data parameters read actual 
 values which agree with the refrigerant gauge set and
 refrigerant line temperatures, then it is safe to 
 assume that communications are established.
19. Set up the master controller parameters according to
Ƥ
Ǥ 
• All parameters can be found in the FN 2 menu 
 (setup), FN 6 menu (module factory settings), FN 7 
 menu (service), FN 8 menu (master factory settings). 
• It is imperative to access EVERY MENU and EVERY 
 PARAMETER to ensure all settings are appropriate.
20. Set up the Building Automation System (BAS) interface
parameters (as required) using the FN 0 menu (network 
number selection, IP addressing), FN 4 menu 
(device instances).
Using Subcooling and Superheat Method
Due to varying installation conditions/applications and

Place a manifold gauge set on the suction line and liquid line 
then start the compressor. As long as the suction pressure

Verify proper subcooling. This is accomplished by 
subtracting the liquid line temperature from the saturated 
condensing temperature. The saturated condensing 
temperature is found by converting the liquid line pressure 
reading on the manifold gauge to the related temperature. 
The normal subcooling temperature range at the condenser 
is 5-15°F, BUT for total accuracy please follow the charge 
recommendations found in the selection program. If 
subcooling is too low, then refrigerant must be added to the

Ƥ
results. If subcooling is too high, then refrigerant must be 
removed from the system.
Verify proper superheat by subtracting the saturated 
evaporative temperature from the suction line temperature. 
The saturated evaporative temperature is found by 
converting the suction pressure reading on the manifold 
gauge to the related temperature. The proper superheat 
temperature range is 6-12°F at normal operating conditions 
(typically 44

leaving chilled water temperature).
If superheat is low, this may indicate that the expansion
valve is overfeeding. To adjust the expansion valves, turn the 
adjustment stem clockwise. This will cause the superheat to rise.

Repeat until the desired superheat is achieved.
