BASIC CONTROL USAGE

ComfortLink™ Controls —

The ComfortLink con-

trols are a comprehensive unit-management system. The con-

trol system is easy to access, configure, diagnose and trouble-

shoot.

The controls are flexible, providing two types of constant

volume cooling control sequences, two variable air volume

cooling control sequences, and heating control sequences for

two-stage electric and gas systems, for multiple-stage gas heat-

ing, and hydronic heat in both Occupied and Unoccupied

schedule modes. This control also manages:
• VAV duct pressure (through optional VFD or inlet guide

vanes), with reset

• Building pressure through four different power exhaust

systems

• Return fan applications using fan tracking

• Condenser fan cycling for low ambient head pressure

control

• Dehumidification (with reheat) and humidifier sequences

• Space ventilation control, in Occupied and Unoccupied

periods, using CO

2

sensors or external signals, with ven-

tilation defined by damper position or ventilation airflow

measurement

• Smoke control functions

• Occupancy schedules

• Occupancy or start/stop sequences based on third party

signals

• Alarm status and history and run time data

• Management of a complete unit service test sequence

System diagnostics are enhanced by the use of multiple

external sensors for air temperatures, air pressures and refriger-

ant pressures. Unit-mounted actuators provide digital feedback

data to the unit control.

The ComfortLink™ controller is fully communicating and

cable-ready for connection to the Carrier Comfort Network

®

(CCN) building management system. The control provides

high-speed communications for remote monitoring via the

Internet. Multiple 48/50Z Series units can be linked together

(and to other ComfortLink controller equipped units) using a

3-wire communication bus.

The ComfortLink control system is easy to access through

the use of a unit-mounted display module. There is no need to

bring a separate computer to this unit for start-up. Access to

control menus is simplified by the ability to quickly select from

11 menus. A scrolling readout provides detailed explanations

of control information. Only four, large, easy-to-use buttons are

required to maneuver through the entire controls menu. The

display readout is designed to be visible even in bright sunlight.

For added service flexibility, an accessory hand-held

Navigator™ module is also available. This portable device has

an extended communication cable that can be plugged into the

unit’s communication network either at the main control box or

at the opposite end of the unit, at a remote modular plug. The

Navigator display provides the same menu structure, control

access and display data as is available at the unit-mounted

scrolling marquee display.

Scrolling Marquee —

This device is the keypad inter-

face used to access the control information, read sensor values,

and test the unit. The scrolling marquee is located in the main

control box and is standard on all units. The scrolling marquee

display is a 4-key, 4-character, 16-segment LED (light-emitting

diode) display module. The display also contains an Alarm Sta-

tus LED. See Fig. 1. The display is easy to operate using

4 buttons and a group of 11 LEDs that indicate the following

menu structures:
• Run Status

• Service Test

• Temperatures

• Pressures

• Set points

• Inputs

• Outputs

• Configuration

• Timeclock

• Operating Modes

• Alarms

Through the scrolling marquee, the user can access all of the

inputs and outputs to check on their values and status, config-

ure operating parameters plus evaluate the current decision sta-

tus for operating modes. Because the 48/50Z Series units are

equipped with suction pressure and discharge pressure trans-

ducers, the scrolling marquee can also display refrigerant

circuit pressures typically obtained from service gages. The

control also includes an alarm history which can be accessed

from the display. In addition, through the scrolling marquee,

the user can access a built-in test routine that can be used at

start-up commissioning and to diagnose operational problems

with the unit.

Accessory Navigator™ Display —

The accessory

hand-held Navigator display can be used with the 48/50Z

Series units. See Fig. 2. The Navigator display operates the

same way as the scrolling marquee device. The Navigator

display is plugged into the RJ-11 jack in the main control box

on the COMM board. The Navigator display can also be

plugged into the RJ-11 jack located on the unit corner post

located at the economizer end of the unit.
