[. . . ] EPROM chip replacement On multiple chiller units systems with more than one chiller boards networked together, if an EPROM chip is being replaced on any chiller boards, you will need to initialize the boards again after the new EPROM is inserted on the board. Notice that the software version number should be written on the EPROM chip. You may run into a situation where you are installing a new chiller board or replacing an EPROM chip, in which the EPROM on the new chiller board or the new EPROM you are installing has a different software version number than the other EPROMs on the other chiller boards. Different software versions running on a multiple chiller boards system may cause the chiller display keypad to display non-meaningful text due to some earlier software versions that are not compatible with some later software versions. [. . . ] On the default screen: C1 indicates that compressor 1 On (the second character of C1 indicates the chiller number) H1 indicates heater 1 is On D1 indicates chiller 1 is disabled F1 indicates chiller 1 is in sustained shutdown C4 = chiller 4, when C4 is not display, chiller 4 is off - can indicate D4 = chiller 4 is disabled - can indicate F4 = chiller 4 is shut down due to continues faults, then you will have to go to Chiller On/Off menu to enable chiller 4 to make it run again indicate 4 compressor is on common loop water supply temperature common loop water return temperature Default Screen C1 C2 C3 C4 Cool Loop Supply 45. 0F Loop Return 50. 0F Main Menu Screen On the Main Menu screen, it shows different menus which you can select from. Push Up and Down button to scroll through the items and push Enter to select a particular menu screen. 16 Tempered Water Logic Control Operation & Troubleshooting Manual For MPE-VXC Control Panel The Menus are: Chiller Status ­ display each chiller's status, such as if the unit is on or off, in an out loop water temperature, high and low pressure switch status, flow switch status, and other information, which help to troubleshoot the chiller Parameter Setting ­ this menu screen allows the user to: - change some of the parameter value, such as heat and cool stage temperature set points and differentials - switch between Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display - save and restore user parameter settings - select Factory Setting to restore all the settings to factory default - calibrate control AC voltage reading, see below for instruction on how to perform this process Important Note When any parameter value settings are changed under Parameter Setting menu, you will need to select "Save User Setting" and do not touch any buttons on the display keypad and do not turn off power to the control system for 30 seconds in order for the current value settings to be saved. If you select "Save User Setting" and touch any buttons after that, the current values will eventually be saved at most after 2 ½ minutes and before turning power off to the control system. Chiller Staging ­ this menu screen displays how many chillers are in the system, what temperature stage each chiller is in, and if the chiller is set to automatically rotate to a different temperature stage or not. Chiller rotation will result in all compressors to have even run-time. Fault Log ­ this menu screen displays how many faults and the kind of faults a chiller have encountered. Fault History ­ this menu screen displays the most recent system faults, it will store up to latest 300 faults on each chiller. On this screen, press Enter to advance to another chiller Input/Output Log - this menu screen displays information, such as compressors and water pumps runtimes, mininum and maximum in and out loop water temperature, and AC control voltage on each chiller. Chiller On/Off ­ this menu screen lets you select the chiller you want to disable or enable, and push Enter to disable or enable a chiller Output Status ­ this menu screen basically tells you which outputs the controls are calling to turn on or off. Refrigerant Gas ­ this menu screen allows the user to select the type of refrigerant gas that the chiller units contained, so the proper discharge and suction pressure fault limits can be applied if discharge and suction pressure transducers are installed in the chiller system. See below on how to select the type of refrigerant gas being used on each chiller 17 Tempered Water Logic Control Operation & Troubleshooting Manual For MPE-VXC Control Panel Some Important Notes To select the type of refrigerant gas used on a chiller unit ­ connect the display keypad to the chiller board that is controlling the chiller unit that is being affected. After 3 consecutive high pressure faults, the chiller will go to a sustained shutdown low pressure ­ in the cool mode, if low (suction) pressure switch opens or drops below 30 PSI (if R22, R417, or R407C is selected as the refrigerant gas type) or below 60 PSI (if R410A is selected as the refrigerant gas type) for more than 1 minute, it generates a fault. In the heat mode, if the suction pressure switch opens or drops below the PSI value stated above for more than 5 minutes, then it generates a fault. After 3 consecutive high pressure faults, the chiller will go to a sustained shutdown. system network - if the system has a network problem, it will display a fault message (Loss of Network), each chiller unit still continue to operate independently. inlet and outlet loop water maximum temperature differential limit In the Cool mode, subtract the loop water out temperature from the common loop water return temperature to obtain the difference. If the difference is 15 °F (-9. 44 °C) or more for 2 minutes and the common loop water return temperature is 65 °F (18. 33 °C) or less, then the chiller that has the fault will go to a sustained shutdown and display (Exceeded Loop Water Temp Diff Max Limit) and indicate which chiller. In Heat mode, subtract the common loop water return temperature from the loop water out temperature. If the difference is 18 °F or more for 1 minutes and the common loop water return temperature is above 90 °F, then the chiller that has the fault will go to a sustained shutdown and display (Exceeded Loop Water Temp Diff Max Limit) and indicate which chiller. inlet and outlet sea water maximum temperature differential limit In the cool mode the system compares difference between the common inlet and sea water temperatures and generates a fault due to a wide temperature difference. If the common outlet sea water temperature is higher than the common inlet sea water temperature by more than 16 °F (8. 9 °C) and less than 20 °F (11 °C) for 5 minutes, or more than 20 °F (11 °C) for 2 minutes, the chiller will go to a sustained shutdown and the fault message will be (SeaWtr TD Max Limit), and all chillers are disabled. You will need to go to the Chiller On/Off menu to enable all the chillers to make them run. Temperature Sensor Faults The chiller system monitors for defective temperature sensors that are opened, shorted, or sensing a temperature that is out of range.
