If the transducer value does not move to 0 psig (0 kPa),
the transducer will return to the original reading. If the
pressure is within the allowed range, check the voltage
ratio of the transducer. To obtain the voltage ratio, divide
the voltage (dc) input from the transducer by the supply
voltage signal, measured at the PSIO terminals J7-J34 and
J7-J35. For example, the condenser transducer voltage in-
put is measured at PSIO terminals J7-1 and J7-2. The volt-
age ratio must be between 0.80 vdc and 0.11 vdc for the
software to allow calibration. Pressurize the transducer
until the ratio is within range. Then attempt calibration
again.
4. A high pressure point can also be calibrated between 240
and 260 psig (1655 and 1793 kPa) by attaching a regu-
lated 250 psig (1724 kPa) pressure (usually from a ni-
trogen cylinder). The high pressure point can be calibrated
by accessing the transducer on the Status01 table,
highlighting the transducer, pressing the SELECT soft-
key, and then increasing or decreasing the value to the
exact pressure on the refrigerant gage. Press ENTER
to
finish. High altitude locations must compensate the pres-
sure so that the temperature/pressure relationship is
correct.
If the transducer reading returns to the previous value and
the pressure is within the allowed range, check the volt-
age ratio of the transducer. Refer to Step 3 above. The
voltage ratio for this high pressure calibration must be
between 0.536 and 0.634 vdc to allow calibration. Change
the pressure at the transducer until the ratio is within the
acceptable range. Then attempt to calibrate to the new
pressure input.
The PIC will not allow calibration if the transducer is too
far out of calibration. A new transducer must be installed
and re-calibrated.
TRANSDUCER REPLACEMENT — Since the transduc-
ers are mounted on Schrader-type fittings, there is no need
to remove refrigerant from the vessel. Disconnect the trans-
ducer wiring by pulling up on the locking tab while pulling
up on the weather-tight connecting plug from the end of the
transducer. Do not pull on the transducer wires. Unscrew
the transducer from the Schrader fitting. When installing a
new transducer, do not use pipe sealer, which can plug the
sensor. Put the plug connector back on the sensor and snap
into place. Check for refrigerant leaks.
Make sure to use a backup wrench on the Schrader fit-
ting whenever removing a transducer.
Control Algorithms Checkout Procedure — In
the LID Service menu, one of the tables is Control Algo-
rithm Status. This table contains 4 maintenance tables which
may be viewed in order to see how the particular control
algorithm is operating. The 4 tables are:
MAINT01 Capacity
Control
This table shows all values that are used
to calculate the chilled water/brine con-
trol point.
MAINT02 Override
Status
Details of all chilled water control over-
ride values are viewed here.
MAINT03 HGBP Status The hot gas bypass control algorithm
status is viewed from this screen.
All values dealing with this control are
displayed.
MAINT04
(PSIO
Software
Version 13
and higher)
LEAD/LAG
STATUS
This table shows the condition of LEAD/
LAG operation.
OCCDEFM Time
Schedules
Status
The Local and CCN occupied sched-
ules are displayed here in a manner
that the operator can quickly deter-
mine whether the schedule is in the OC-
CUPIED mode or not.
These maintenance tables are very useful in determining
how the control temperature is calculated, slide valve posi-
tioning reaction from load changes, control point overrides,
hot gas bypass reaction, etc.
Control Test — The Control Test feature can check all
of the thermistor temperature sensors, including those on the
Options modules, pressure transducers, pumps and their as-
sociated flow switches, slide valve assembly, and other con-
trol outputs, such as hot gas bypass. The test can help to
determine whether a switch is defective, or a pump relay is
not operating, among other troubleshooting tests. During pump-
down operations, the pumps are energized to prevent freeze-up
and the vessel pressures and temperatures are displayed. The
lockout feature will prevent start-up of the compressor when
no refrigerant is present in the machine, or if the vessels are
isolated. The lockout is then terminated by the operator by
using the Terminate Lockout function after the pumpdown
procedure is reversed and refrigerant is added.
