Common Point Sensor Installation

Lead/lag operation does not require a common chilled water point sensor. Common point

sensors can be added to the 8-input option module, if desired. Refer to the certified drawings for

termination of sensor leads.

Note: If the common point sensor option is chosen on a chilled water system, both machines

should have their own 8-input option module and common point sensor installed. Each

machine will use its own common point sensor for control, when that machine is desig-

nated as the lead chiller. The PIC cannot read the value of common point sensors

installed on other machines in the chilled water system.

When installing chillers in series, a common point sensor should be used. If a common point

sensor is not used, the leaving chilled water sensor of the upstream chiller must be moved into

the leaving chilled water pipe of the downstream chiller.

If return chilled water control is required on chillers piped in series, the common point return
