As part of a pump maintenance routine, the pumps can be

started to maintain lubrication to the pump seal. To utilize this
function, Cooler Pmp Periodic Start (PM.P.S) [Configuration,
UNIT] must be set to YES. This option is set to NO as the fac-
tory default. If feature is enabled and the pump(s) are not
operating, then the pumps will be operated every other day for
2 seconds starting at 14:00 hours. If a pump has failed and has
an active Alert condition, it will not be started that day.

Configuring and Operating Dual Chiller Con-
trol —

The dual chiller routine is available for the control of

two units supplying chilled fluid on a common loop. This
control algorithm is designed for parallel fluid flow arrangement
only. One chiller must be configured as the master chiller, the
other as the slave. An additional leaving fluid temperature
thermistor (Dual Chiller LWT) must be installed as shown in
Fig. 17 and connected to the master chiller. Refer to Sensors sec-
tion, page 4, for wiring. The SCN communication bus must be
connected between the two chillers. Connections can be made
to the SCN screw terminals on TB3. Refer to Sterlco Comfort
Network Interface section, page 3, for wiring information.

Refer to Table 21 for dual chiller configuration. In this

example the master chiller will be configured at address 1 and
the slave chiller at address 2. The master and slave chillers
must reside on the same SCN bus (SCNB) but cannot have the
same SCN address (SCNA) [Configuration, OPT2]. Both
master and slave chillers must have Lead/Lag Chiller Enable
(LLEN) [Configuration, RSET] configured to ENBL. Master/
Slave Select (MSSL) [Configuration, RSET] must be config-
ured to MAST for the master chiller and SLVE for the slave.
Also in this example, the master chiller will be configured to
use Lead/Lag Balance Select (LLBL) and Lead/Lag Balance
Delta (LLBD) [Configuration, RSET] to even out the chiller
run-times weekly. The Lag Start Delay (LLDY) [Configura-
tion, RSET] feature will be set to 10 minutes. This will prevent
the lag chiller from starting until the lead chiller has been at
100% capacity for the length of the delay time. Parallel config-
uration (PARA) [Configuration, RSET] can only be config-
ured to YES. The variables LLBL, LLBD and LLDY are not
used by the slave chiller.

Dual chiller start/stop control is determined by configura-

tion of Control Method (CTRL) [Configuration, OPT2] of the
Master chiller. The Slave chiller should always be configured
for CTRL=0, Switch. If the chillers are to be controlled by
Remote Contacts, both Master and Slave chillers should be
enabled together. Two separate relays or one relay with
two sets of contacts may control the chillers. The Enable/Off/
Remote Contact switch should be in the Remote Contact
position on both the Master and Slave chillers. The Enable/Off/
Remote Contact switch should be in the Enable position for
CTRL=2, Occupancy or CTRL=3, SCN Control.

Both chillers will stop if the Master chiller Enable/Off/

Remote Contact switch is in the Off position. If the Emergency
Stop switch is turned off or an alarm is generated on the Master
chiller the Slave chiller will operate in a Stand-Alone mode.
If the Emergency Stop switch is turned off or an alarm is
generated on the Slave chiller the Master chiller will operate in
a Stand-Alone mode.

The master chiller controls the slave chiller by changing its

Control Mode (STAT) [Run Status, VIEW] and its operating
setpoint or Control Point (CTPT) [Run Status, VIEW].
