MicroTech II Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS) Settings
Settings for any type of linked multiple compressor operation must be made to the MicroTech II controller.
Settings on a dual compressor unit are made in the factory prior to shipment, but must be verified in the field
before startup. Settings for multiple chiller installations are set in the field on the Operator Interface Touch
Screen as follows:
Maximum Compressors ON – SETPOINTS - MODES screen, Selection #10 ‘= 2 for a dual, 4 for 2 duals, 3 for
three separate, single compressor chillers, etc. If all compressors in the system are to be available as normal
running compressors, then the value entered in #10 should equal the total number of compressors. If any
compressors are for standby and not operated in normal rotation, they should not be included in the compressor
count in Selection #10. The Max Comp ON setting can be made in only one touchscreen, the system will
observe the highest number set on all chillers-it is a global setting.
Sequence and Staging – SETPOINTS - MODES screen, Selection #12 & #14; #11 & #13. Sequence sets the
sequence in which compressors will start. Setting one or more compressors to “1” evokes the automatic lead/lag
feature and is the normal setting. The compressor with least starts will start first and the compressor with
maximum hours will stop first, and so on. Units with higher numbers will stage on in sequence.
The Modes setpoints will do several different types of operation (Normal, Efficiency, Standby, etc.) as described
in the operating manual.
The same Modes setting must be replicated on each chiller in the system.
Nominal Capacity – SETPOINTS - MOTOR screen, Selection #14. The setting is the compressor design tons.
Compressors on dual units are always of equal capacity.
