If the lag chiller faults when the lead chiller is also faulted, the standby chiller reverts to a

stand-alone CCN mode of operation.

If the lead chiller is in an alarm (*) condition (as shown on the LID panel), the RESET softkey

is pressed to clear the alarm, and the chiller is placed in the CCN mode, the lead chiller will now

communicate and monitor the RUN STATUS of the lag and standby chillers. If both the lag and

standby chillers are running, the lead chiller will not attempt to start and will not assume the role

of lead chiller until either the lag or standby chiller shuts down. If only one chiller is running, the

lead chiller will wait for a start request from the operating chiller. When the configured lead

chiller starts, it assumes its role as lead chiller.

Load Balancing

When the LOAD BALANCE OPTION is enabled, the lead chiller will set the ACTIVE DE-

MAND LIMIT in the lag chiller to the lead chiller’s COMPRESSOR MOTOR LOAD value. This

value has limits of 40% to 100%. When setting the lag chiller ACTIVE DEMAND LIMIT, the

CONTROL POINT shall be modified to a value of 3° F (1.67° C) less than the lead chiller’s

CONTROL POINT value. If the LOAD BALANCE OPTION is disabled, the ACTIVE DEMAND

LIMIT and the CONTROL POINT are forced to the same value as the lead chiller.
