YD chiller design allows for ease of interfacing with
Energy Management Systems (EMS). The OptiView™
Control Center includes unit status contacts, provisions
for remote control inputs and provisions for remote
setpoint reset of leaving chilled liquid temperature and
current limit for EMS interfacing.
Five sets of unit status contacts are factory furnished
through a field wiring terminal board in the OptiView
Control Center. Each set of contacts are single pole,
normally open, rated at 5 amperes resistive at 240VAC.
Chiller status contacts are provided for unit:
• Remote Mode Ready to Start – See Figure 1 on
page 9.
• Cycling Shutdown – See Figure 2 on page 9.
• Safety Shutdown – See Figure 3 on page 9.
• Run (System Operating) – See Figure 4 on page
10 and Figure 5 on page 10.
• Anticipatory/Alarm – See Figure 6 on page 10.
Four sets of inputs are available to the EMS, al-
lowing for remote control of unit operation. Input
device con- tact rating shall be 5 milliamperes at
115VAC. Field wiring terminal board (TB4) in the
OptiView Control Center permits connection for
the following operation:
• Remote Run-Stop Switch – See Figure 7 on page
10.
• Remote/Local Cycling Devices – See Figure 8 on
page 11
• Multi-unit sequence – See Figure 10 on page 11
The chiller should not be cycled by the Energy Man-
agement System because the large motor used to drive
the centrifugal compressor is limited to one start per 30
minutes. Instead, it is possible to limit the compressor
motor amp draw indirectly or directly by the following
methods:
1. Application of Sequence Control Kit, so only one
unit is running, when a single unit can carry the
cooling load.
2. When multiple unit installations are controlled by
an EMS, a remote run-stop switch input is avail-
able to start and stop each chiller per Figure 7 on
page 10. Contact rating shall be 5 milliamperes
at 115 volts A.C.
3. The OptiView Control Center has a programma-
ble time clock function as a standard feature with
holiday capability. This offers one preset automat-
ic Start-Stop per day on a seven day calendar ba-
sis with the ability to program a single additional
holiday start and stop time up to a week in ad-
vance. Chilled water pump control contacts (see
Note 7) are also provided, allowing for efcient
automatic operation of the chilled water pump to
reduce energy. Two chilled water pump operating
modes are available.
4. Reduce the compressor-motor kW input (and
thus amps), by raising the leaving chilled liquid
temperature through remote temperature control
setpoint in the “remote” operating mode. When
remote temperature reset is accomplished by sup-
plying a 1 to 11 second pulse-width modulated
signal, refer to Figure 20 on page 17. Through
use of the remote temperature control analog in-
put on the Microboard, the leaving chilled liquid
temperature may be reset via a 0 to 20 or 4 to
20mA D.C. current signal, a 0 to 10 or 2 to 10 volt
D.C. signal.
5. Current limiting of demand during pulldown may
be accomplished by using the standard PULL-
DOWN DEMAND LIMIT function provided
in the OptiView Control Center. The “Pulldown
Demand Limit” key can be programmed to limit
compressor motor current from 30 to 100 percent
of full load amperes, for 1 to 255 minutes follow-
ing each compressor start. For more details, refer
to Unit Operation Manual Form 160.79‑O1.
