Anti-Recycle Timer
Each system has its own anti-recycle timers. The
anti-recycle time under the PROGRAM key can be
programmed between 240 - 600 seconds and sets the
minimum start-to-start time of the lead compressor in a
system. A second non-programmable anti-recycle timer,
stop to start is fixed at 90 seconds, starts to countdown
when the lead compressor in a systems cycles off. On
power up only this timer is set to 120 seconds not 90
seconds.
The lag compressor(s) in a system, are not controlled
by the anti-recycle timer.
Anti-Coincidence Timer
The anti-coincidence timer prevents both systems from
starting simultaneously. This assures that the inrush
current is kept to a minimum. A 60 second time delay
will always separate motor starts. This timer is not
programmable.
Refrigerant to Water Heat Exchanger Heater
Control
The water heat exchanger heater is controlled by
ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature is
below 4.4 °C the heater will be switched on. When the
temperature rises above 7.2°C, the heater is switched
off. An under voltage condition will keep the heater off
until full voltage is restored to the system.
The 110 Vac control supply must remain ON
for freeze protection. Otherwise, the water
heat exchanger must be drained.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is fitted with a crankcase heater
which is ‘ON’ when the compressor is ‘OFF’, being
feed via a normally closed contact on each compressor
contactor.

Lead/Lag Control
The unit may be set up for AUTO or MANUAL lead/lag.
This is accomplished by programming the option under
the ‘OPTIONS’ key.
When AUTO lead/lag is used, the microprocessor
attempts to balance run time between the systems. A
number of conditions can occur which will prevent this
from happening. Factors determining lead/lag selection
and the resulting lead/lag determination are:
The microprocessor automatically defaults the lead to
system 1 and the lag to system 2 if both systems are
ready to start (Anti-recycle Timers timed out) and the
systems have equal run time.
If both systems are waiting to start (Anti-recycle timers
have not timed out), the microprocessor will assign the
lead to the system with the shortest anti-recycle time to
provide duty quickly.
If the lead system is locked out, faulted and waiting to
restart the lag system is swapped to the lead.
MANUAL lead/Lag selection will be automatically
overridden by the microprocessor to allow the lag
system to automatically become the lead anytime the
selected lead system shuts down due to, lead system
faults.
Automatic switch over in MANUAL mode is provided
to try to maintain unit liquid temperature as close to
‘SETPOINT’ as possible.
Units without Soft Start
The strategy for compressor loading within a system
is to maximize individual compressor run time and
ensure that the same compressor does not start twice
in a row.
This is achieved by rotating the lead/lag sequence of
the compressors in a system when a compressor other
than the lag most compressor in that system stops.
In achieving this objective no attempt will be made to
equalize each compressors individual total run hours
within a system.
Units with Soft Start
These units have a soft starter fitted to the last
compressor in each system. SOFT START ENABLED
must be displayed under the ‘OPTIONS’ key. With this
option enabled the controls ensure that the compressor
fitted with the soft starter is the last compressor to start
in the system. Compressors are always started in the
same order, No.1 compressor first.
