Operation and Setup Manual
GUARDIAN SCC-50 Screw Compressor Controllers provide suction pressure
setpoint control and alarm monitoring for one screw compressor. Alternatively the unit may
be set-up to control on water chiller, glycol chiller or equivalent temperature.
The SCC50 unit supersedes its SCC40 predecessor and provides increased response,
input/output signal capability, control and communication facilities.
The SCC50 still uses the SCC40 operator control Panel.

GETTING STARTED
Guardian Controllers provide refrigeration engineers with
•ACCURATE CONTROL
•ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY
•ASSURED MONITORING
•RELIABLE ALARMS
This manual provides refrigeration designers, installers, service mechanics and supermarket
personnel with the necessary information to achieve the above objectives.
All users require to know a few basic facts about this controller before successfully starting to
perform their design, commissioning, maintenance or operating functions.
a) All GUARDIAN controllers need to be set up with a unit model selection and other basic
settings for setpoints, timers and addresses.
b) The shorthand used in the following chapters for concisely expressing button pressing and
selection sequences to do all this set-up needs to be understood.
c) Mains power input voltage and hardware switch and link option selections (if any are
required) must correspond to the selected unit model configuration.
d) Since each controller can be configured in a number of different ways to perform flexible
refrigeration control then an understanding of how to find out what unit model is currently
selected, what it does and how it is connected, is also necessary.

BUTTON OPERATION SHORTHAND
To assist in easy set-up of control setpoints, delays, timers and other configuration settings,
the sequence of button presses and subsequent displays will be shown in this handbook as
below:
ii) A button symbol, followed by text means press that button. “@accept”
iii) A double button, followed by text means press that button repeatedly. “@:@raise”
iv) A display box with the window above it shows the result of the last button press on
the display.
DISCHARGE FILTER

“@:@raise”
DISCHARGE FILTER
==== 2.5b
v) DISCHARGE FILTER DISCHARGE FILTER
H.P. ==== trip ====
Means the display alternately flashes between identifier and trip message
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION CHECKS
Prior to switching on the GUARDIAN controller check that the hardware unit is the correct
type for the incoming mains voltage.
When satisfied that the correct type of controller is available then the following checks should
be made prior to controller installation or replacement
a) Ensure mains supply is wired correctly to the appropriate TERMINAL WIRING drawing for
the model selected.
b) Ensure that any transducer selector switches specified on the TERMINAL WIRING
diagram are in the correct state.
c) Ensure any shorting link selector pins specified on the TERMINAL WIRING diagram are
correctly fitted.
d) Ensure that probes are wired to the terminal WIRING DIAGRAM and the correct type of
thermistor or pressure transducer probes are fitted.
e) The RS485 highway connections (if required) are wired to the correct terminals and the
screen drain wire is continuous to earth.

Before any permanent change of controller settings are made then the correct entry of the
appropriate passcode is necessary.
The settings available for change on each passcode are as follows; Passcode

RS485 Communications
When the correct system number, case/compressor number and highway address have been
entered as above then the controller can communicate with the GUARDIAN Consultant
Terminal PC for central alarm monitoring and temperature display. Control setpoints, defrost
times and alarm limits may then be sent to the controller from the PC.
For further details see page 63

UNIT MODELS
Guardian controllers may be configured in a number of different ways dependent on unit
model selection. Each unit model fulfils a different refrigeration temperature monitoring and
control requirement. In order to perform the required refrigeration control then each model
has different uses for the controller’s input output signals. This section gives details of all the
model variations available for the controller and the way to connect the wiring to the plant
devices and measuring transducers. OVERVIEW
Functions
The GUARDIAN SCC-50 controller provides facilities for:-
MONITORING
Measurement of pressures, temperatures, load and slide inputs for control, alarm and
trip display
Calculation of differential pressures and superheat temperatures for control, alarm and trip
display.
Detection of di
g
ital input states or safet
y
trip inputs.
ALARMS
Detection after a preset guardtime of pressure and temperature High/Low alarms when the
compressor is in operation. Alarms are indicated by alternating a =Hi= or =Lo=
message on the appropriate temperature or pressure display.
TRIPS
Detection of pressure and temperature High/Low trips which stop the compressor. Trips are
indicated by the flashing red TRIPPED lamp and an alternating 'TRIP' message on the
appropriate temperature/pressure display.
All measurement values are frozen after detection of a trip condition. This facility provides
information on the compressor state, pressures and temperatures when the trip occurred
until after the RESET pushbutton has been pressed.
Detection of safety trips which stop the compressor.
Trips are indicated by the flashing red TRIPPED lamp and an appropriate message.
Trips vary dependent on pack model configuration.
ie :- L.P. ,H.P. ,LEU=,fLo= alternating with a trIP message on the
appropriate display.
CONTROLS
Oil pump, motor and economiser startup and run sequences using preset timers and limits
Compressor status is indicated by LED lamps on the control panel.
Compressor capacity slide valve raise / lower control dependent on suction pressure or
slide control setpoint. The slide valve is automatically lowered when over-current limit or high
discharge pressure are detected or the compressor is stopped.
Suction pressure or slide control initiation of other compressors in the system via a RS485
link when in REMOTE mode.
Oil heater and liquid injection control on oil sump and discharge temperatures.
VI control using internal stepper motor control signals, condenser FAN control and extra
injection selection
