Default Screen Freeze

Whenever an alarm occurs, the LID default screen will freeze displaying the condition of the

machine at the time of alarm. Knowledge of the operating state of the chiller at the time an

alarm occurs is useful when troubleshooting. Current machine information can be viewed on the

Status tables. Once all existing alarms are cleared (by pressing the RESET softkey), the default

LID will return to normal operation.

Motor Cooling Control (Hermetic Motors Only)

Motor temperature is reduced by refrigerant entering the motor shell and evaporating. The

refrigerant is regulated by the motor cooling relay. This relay will energize when the compressor

is running and motor temperature is above 125 F (51.7 C). The relay will close when motor

temperature is below 100 F (37.8 C). Note that there is always a minimum flow of refrigerant

when the compressor is operating for motor cooling; the relay only controls additional

refrigerant to the motor.

Note: An additional motor cooling relay is not required for Hermetic FA style compressors.

Auxiliary Oil Pump Control (Open Drive Machines Only)

The auxiliary oil pump (optional) is controlled by the PIC. During start-up, if the main oil pump

cannot raise pressure to 18 psid (124 kPa), the auxiliary oil pump will be energized. During

compressor operation, the auxiliary oil pump will be energized if the oil pressure falls below the
