This document explains the operation of the printed cir-
cuit boards and major components of the OptiView™
Control Center to a level that allows a service technician
to troubleshoot and locate the source of a problem.
The overall system architecture is described and illus-
trated with block diagrams, which describes the gener-
al function of each component and provides the system
interface and signal flow, which must be understood
before effective troubleshooting can begin.
The operation of each printed circuit board is described
and illustrated with a block diagram that is a simplified
representation of board circuitry. The expected voltage
level at all inputs and outputs of each board for any
operating condition is provided.
Included in this document are procedures that have to
be performed at chiller commissioning or during ser-
vice. They should not be performed by anyone other
than a service technician. For example, calibration
procedures have to be performed or verified at sys-
tem commissioning or when a component is replaced.
Certain safety shutdowns require special reset pro-
cedures to be performed before the chiller can be re-
started. Since the operating program supplied in each
OptiView Control Center is universal to all applica-
tions, special setpoints, program jumpers and program
switches are required to configure the chiller for local
operating conditions.
A system commissioning checklist is provided as a ref-
erence of items to be performed during chiller com-
missioning.
Chillers that are equipped with Pcompressors have
certain component variances, which are noted in the
appropriate sections of this manual.
In addition to this document, several supporting doc-
uments are required to service the system. OptiView
Control Panel – Operation (Form 160.54-O1) ex-
plains the operation of the OptiView Control Center
keypad, how to enter setpoints and explains all the
messages displayed on the OptiView Control Center
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
display. The appropriate diagrams for each chiller are
shown in the associated literature table in the front
of this manual. These wiring diagrams provide com-
ponent interconnections within the OptiView Control
Center and the connections between these compo-
nents and the motor starter and chiller components.
When the chiller shuts down on a SAFETY or CY-
CLING shutdown or is being prevented from start-
ing, a message is displayed providing the reason for
the shutdown. This message, along with all the chill-
er operating conditions at the instant of the event are
stored in the microboard battery-backed memory. This
history data can be displayed or printed using an op-
tional printer. The OptiView Control Panel – Opera-
tion (Form 160.54-O1) provides a detailed description
of this message, including the conditions required to
produce the message and conditions required to restart
the chiller.
Diagnostic Routines allow service analysis of the fol-
lowing functions:
• Display
• Analog Inputs
• Digital inputs
• Digital Outputs
• Serial Data Ports
Before beginning any troubleshooting, observe the
shutdown message and retrieve the HISTORY data
of that event. Refer to the OptiView Control Panel –
Operation (Form 160.54-O1) for an explanation of the
message. The conditions required to produce the mes-
sage must be clearly understood before proceeding. (If
this is not needed, much time will be wasted). Armed
with knowledge of the overall system architecture and
the function of each printed circuit board and signal
flow provided by this manual, proceed with the appro-
priate wiring diagram listed above to trace the prob-
lem through the system. Use the Diagnostic Routines
where appropriate.

SECTION 2 - SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The OptiView Control Center performs the following
functions:
• Controls chiller capacity to chill liquid to the
Chilled Liquid Temperature setpoint.
• Controls chiller solenoid valves, relays, actuators
and motor contactors per the operating program.
• Displays chiller operating conditions, alarms,
shutdown messages and history data.
• Accepts operator-programmed setpoints and con-
trols the chiller accordingly.
• Allows manual control of chiller motor contactors
and actuators.
• Monitors chiller operating conditions and shuts
down chiller when Safety or Cycling thresholds
are exceeded.
• Allows local manual start/stop and accepts start/
stop commands from remote devices, via contact
closures or serial communications.
• Allows setpoints to be changed from a remote loca-
tion via 0 to 10 VDC, 2 to 10 VDC, 0 to 20mA, 4 to
20mA, contact closures or serial communications.
• Provides chiller operating data and status to re-
mote devices via serial communications and con-
tact closures.
• Allows real-time data and history data to be print-
ed on an optional printer.
• Controls the compressor motor starter and con-
tains a printed circuit board logic that supports
Electromechanical Starters, Solid State Starters
and YORK Variable Speed Drives.
The OptiView Control Center is a microprocessor
based control system that receives analog, digital and
serial data inputs and controls analog, digital and serial
data outputs per instructions in the operating program.
A panel mounted display and touch-sensitive keypad
permit local operation.
System pressures are sensed by pressure transducers.
The output of each transducer is a DC voltage that is
analogous to the pressure input. System temperatures
are sensed by thermistors. The output of each thermis-
tor is a DC voltage that is analogous to the temperature
it is sensing. Typical output voltage range of both is 0.5
to 4.5 VDC. These are Analog Inputs to the OptiView
Control Center.
Digital inputs are ON/OFF inputs to the OptiView
Control Center in the form of switch and relay contacts.
These inputs are 115 VAC when the contacts are closed
and 0 VAC when open. These include flow switches,
local start/stop switch, remote cycling and high pres-
sure safety device, etc.
Digital Outputs are ON/OFF outputs from the OptiV-
iew Control Center in the form of relay contacts and
triacs. The relay contacts typically switch 115 VAC and
the triacs typically switch a nominal 30 VAC. Relay
outputs include status/alarm, chiller solenoid valves,
oil heater, oil pump starter and chilled and condenser
water pump starters, etc. Triac outputs include pre-ro-
tation vane control and variable orifice control.
Serial Data is transmitted to and received from devic-
es in RS-232, RS-485 and TX/RX (opto-couple) form.
The OptiView Control Center supports three types of
starters; Electromechanical Starter, Solid State Start-
er and Variable Speed Drive. However, all OptiView
Control Centers contain the following standard compo-
nents, regardless of the starter type applied:
• Microboard
• I/O (input/output) Board
• Keypad
• Display
• Power Supply
In addition to the standard components, the OptiView
Control Center contains a printed circuit board that
provides certain control and interface functions for the
starter type applied. Each starter type requires a differ-
ent board as follows:
• Electromechanical Starter – CM-2 Current Module.
• Solid State Starter (Style A) – Logic Board
Solid State Starter (Style B) – None.
• Variable Speed Drive - Adaptive Capacity Control
Board (except those VSDs that communicate with
the microboard using Modbus protocol).
• Figure 1 on page 22 through 4 are OptiView
Control Center block diagrams of the three starter
types. On each block diagram, the standard com-
ponents are shown, along with the printed circuit
board that supports the applied starter type. Fig-
ure 8 on page 29 and Figure 9 on page 30
are Operation Sequence timing diagrams of the
different starter applications.

The microprocessor and all supporting logic circuits,
along with the memory devices containing the operat-
ing program, reside on the microboard. All chiller op-
erating decisions are made here. It receives analog and
digital inputs from the chiller and remote devices. The
analog inputs are connected directly to the microboard.
The Digital inputs are received via the I/O Board (see
description below). Under Program control, the mi-
croboard operates the relays and triacs that are located
on the I/O Board.
The control center will be equipped with one of the fol-
lowing Microboards:
• 031-01730-000 – Shipped in new production
chillers until January 2004. The program resides
in a replaceable Flash memory card. The software
version is C.MLM.01.xx.yzz. It is printed on a la-
bel adhered to the card. The Program can be up-
graded by replacing the card.
• 031-02430-000 – Shipped in new production chill-
ers from January 2004 to June 2006. The pro-
gram resides in non-removable onboard memory.
The software version is C.OPT.01.xx.yzz, and is
viewable on the DIAGNOSTICS Screen in SER-
VICE access level. The Program can be upgraded
by downloading a new program from a Program
card. Program cards are shirt-pocket-size portable
memory storage devices. This board is backward
compatible to YK chillers presently using the 031-
01730-000 Microboard.
• 031-02430-001 – Shipped in new production chill-
ers after June 2006. This is an upgraded version of
the 031-02430-000 Microboard. The upgrade is
necessary to operate with the Medium Voltage Sol-
id State Starter, Medium Voltage Variable Speed
Drive and those Variable Speed Drives and Style B
Solid State Starters that serially communicate with
the microboard using Modbus Protocol.
• 031-03630-001 – Shipped in new production chill-
ers after June 2015. This new design microboard
has additional features that will be enabled in fu-
ture software revisions. It is a service replacement
for all previous OptiView microboards.
Since the newer versions microboard are backward
compatible to earlier vintage OptiView Control Cen-
ters, earlier chillers could be equipped with a later ver-
sion microboard due to service replacement.
The software versions (C.MLM.01.xx.yzz, C.OPT.01.
xx.yzz) or Y.OPT.01.xx.yzz are alphanumeric codes
that are interpreted as follows. Each time the controls
section or language section is revised, the respective
revision level increments.
• Y or C – Commercial chiller
• MLM – Used on Microboard 031-01730-000
• OPT – Used on Microboard 031-02430-000/-001
• 01 – YK chiller
• xx – controls revision level (00, 01, etc)
• y – language package (0=English only, 1=NEMA,
2=CE, 3=NEMA/CE )
• zz – language package revision level (00, 01, etc)
Throughout this manual, reference is made to functions
and features that are only available in certain flash
memory card revision levels (C.MLM.01.xx.xxx). To
cross reference C.MLM software to C.OPT software,
refer to the controls revision level. Software version
C.OPT.01.09.xxx is of the same controls revision level
as C.MLM.01.09.xxx. From this starting point, both re-
ceive the same updates at each revision. However, be-
ginning with the release of version C.OPT.01.15.011,
C.MLM software will no longer be revised to include
new features. Software upgrades should only be per-
formed by a Service technician.
The I/O Board acts as an input/output device for the
microboard. It conditions the digital input signals for
the microboard and contains relays and triacs that are
controlled by the microboard to control solenoids, mo-
tor contactors and actuators. The 115 VAC digital inputs
from switch and relay contacts are converted to logic
level voltages by optocouplers. The relays have +12
VDC coils that are energized and de-energized by the
microboard. The contacts of these relays control the 115
VAC system solenoids, relays and motor contactors. The
triacs are turned ON and OFF by the microboard. The
outputs of these triacs control actuators.
Chillers equipped with the Variable Geometry Diffuser
(VGD) are supplied with and require I/O Board 031-
01743-002. This board is populated with the required
Triacs Q3 and Q4 that apply the open and close signals
to the Variable Geometry Diffuser ring actuator. See
SECTION 26 - VARIABLE GEOMETRY DIFFUSER.

A front panel-mounted keypad allows operator and ser-
vice technician user interface. Membrane keys are used
to display chiller and system parameters, enter set-
points and perform chiller and OptiView Control Cen-
ter diagnostics. It also contains a START-RUN-STOP/
RESET switch that is used to locally start and stop the
chiller and perform manual reset functions.
A front panel mounted liquid crystal display allows
graphic animated display of the chiller, chiller subsys-
tems and system parameters. The chiller and working
components of the chiller are displayed, along with
chiller operating pressures and temperatures. The key-
pad is used to select displays showing increasing levels
of detail of chiller working components.
A self-contained power supply supplies the necessary
DC voltages for all the components within the OptiV-
iew Control Center.
Chillers equipped with Pcompressors and Style F and
later chillers have a different Condenser High Pressure
Safety Cutout Switch (HPCO) than supplied on other
applications. This switch is mounted on the condens-
er shell but has a different wiring interface to the I/O
Board and Motor Controller circuit. For more informa-
tion see SECTION 6 - I/O BOARD of this manual.
Also, P compressor applications and Style F and later
chillers with G, Q and H5-8 compressors are equipped
with a High Speed Thrust Bearing Limit Switch instead
of the proximity probe supplied on other compressors.
This device detects abnormal bearing position through
probe contact instead of distance measurement as per-
formed with the Proximity probe.
Style C (and earlier) chillers are equipped with fixed
speed oil pumps. Style D (and later) chillers are
equipped with variable speed oil pumps.
Style F (and later) chillers require flash memory card
version C.MLM.01.07.xxx and later and are supplied
with factory-mounted flow sensors on the evaporator
and condenser. These are electronic thermal-type sen-
sors.
The operating principle of the sensor is thermal con-
ductivity. It uses the cooling effect of a flowing liquid
to sense flow. The temperature of the heated sensor tip
is sensed by a thermistor located in the tip. A second
thermistor, located higher in the tip in a non-heated
area, is only affected by changes in liquid tempera-
ture. The temperatures sensed by the thermistors are
compared. Flowing liquid carries heat away from the
heated sensor tip, lowering its temperature. The lower
temperature differential between the two thermistors
indicates the liquid is flowing. A higher differential in-
dicates no flow.
These sensors are interfaced to microboard analog
inputs. See the SECTION 3 - MICROBOARD 031-
01730-000 for a detailed explanation of this flow sen-
sor and interface.
If equipped with flash memory card version
C.MLM.01.07.xxx (and later), the chiller style/com-
pressor combination must be entered using the Chiller
Style/Compressor setpoint (See SECTION 27 - LARGE
TONNAGE CHILLER (LTC) I/O BOARD 031-02895-
000/001). Once the applicable chiller style/compres-
sor combination is entered, the program automatically
bundles the functionality and chiller control per the
entered chiller style/compressor requirements. The
various chiller style/compressor combinations are
equipped differently and have different control re-
quirements. The variables include:
• High Speed Thrust Bearing proximity sensing –
Proximity probe or Limit Switch.
• Flow Sensor – Paddle type or factory mounted
Thermal type. The paddle type applies 115 VAC
to the I/O Board Digital inputs TB4-12 (evapora-
tor) and TB4-11 (condenser) (See Figure 34 on
page 102). The factory mounted thermal type
available with Style F (and later) chillers, applies
+5 VDC to the microboard Analog Inputs at J7-
14 (evaporator) and J7-16 (condenser). For more
information, see Figure 15 on page 47.
Flash memory card version C.MLM.01.07.xxx
and C.MLM.01.07A.xxx automatically selects the
flow sensor input, either digital or analog per the
chiller style/compressor setpoint selection.

Flash memory card version C.MLM.01.08.xxx
and later allows use of either the Thermal-type
or the Paddle-type flow sensors on Style "F" and
later chillers. With these versions, the actual flow
sensor type present must be entered using the
Flow Switch Setpoint. For more information, see
SECTION 27 - LARGE TONNAGE CHILLER

• Refrigerant Level Control Default Period – Either
3.5 seconds or 10.0 seconds.
• “Oil – Variable Speed Pump-Pressure setpoint
Not Achieved” safety shutdown threshold – Ei-
ther 25 psid or 35 psid.
• Standard Coastdown Time (software version
C.OPT.01.16.xxx (and later)) – defaults to either

When the compressor motor is driven by an Electro-
mechanical Starter, the OptiView Control Center is
equipped with a CM-2 current module. This printed
circuit board provides current overload and power fault
protection for the compressor motor. Current trans-
formers, located in the compressor motor terminal box,
along with rectifying and calibration circuitry, provide
an analog voltage representing compressor motor cur-
rent to the CM-2 module. This signal is further condi-
tioned and provided to the microboard.
When the compressor motor is driven by a YORK solid
state starter, one of three different starters could be ap-
plied. Later production chillers are equipped with either
the Style B liquid cooled solid state starter (LCSSS) or
the medium voltage solid state starter (MVSSS).
The Style B LCSSS (Figure 3 on page 24) contains
a combination logic/trigger board in the starter cabinet
that has a serial communications interface to the mi-
croboard. Early Style B LCSSS use an Opto-coupled
interface with YORK proprietary protocol. Later Style
B LCSSS (after mid 2008) use Modbus protocol (re-
quires software version C.OPT.01.18.307 or later).
The medium voltage solid state starter (Figure 4 on
page 25) serially communicates with the microboard
using RS-485 Modbus Protocol. Earlier vintage chill-
ers are equipped with the Style A Solid State Starter.
This starter contains a trigger board that interfaces to a
logic board that is installed inside the OptiView Con-
trol Center. The Logic board interfaces the microboard
via a multiplexed data interface.
When the compressor motor is driven by a YORK
Variable Speed Drive, there could be a Variable Speed
Drive (VSD) or a Medium Voltage Variable Speed
Drive (MV VSD) applied.
Early vintage VSDs (Figure 5 on page 26) contain
an adaptive dapacity control (ACC) board that resides
in the OptiView cabinet that interfaces the microboard
using YORK proprietary protocol serial opto-coupled
communications. The ACC board monitors system pa-
rameters and controls the VSD to drive the compressor
at the slowest speed without surging, while maintain-
ing required chiller capacity.
With the later vintage VSD (Figure 6 on page 27),
the ACC functionality resides in the microboard, the
ACC Board is not present and the VSD logic board di-
rectly interfaces the microboard using RS-485 Modbus
protocol serial communications.
The MV VSD (Figure 7 on page 28) is also inter-
faced to the microboard with RS-485 Modbus serial
communications. All Modbus protocol applications re-
quire software version C.OPT.01.16.xxx (or later).
Serial data interface to the Building Automation Sys-
tem (BAS) is through the optional E-Link Gateway.
This printed circuit board monitors the required data
from the microboard and makes it available for the
BAS network. When BAS or ISN communications is
selected as the control source, the microboard will fol-
low the E-Link Gateway commands as well.
Certain compressors are equipped with a VGD, which
is used to reduce rotating stall conditions and associ-
ated stall noise.
Stall may occur at low load conditions with high head.
A mechanical ring, located in the compressor diffuser
passage is operated to open or close the diffuser gap.
