P475
Discharge trip
If Discharge Pressure exceeds this setting All compressors
go off immediately and all fans come on immediately. A
Discharge Trip Alarm is generated.
P476
Discharge Trip Diff
Diff below for parameter P-475 at which point control goes
back to normal and alarm clears.

Run Proof
See section Run-Proof

Status fault Delay
Time delay before status faults are activated

General Alarm Delay
Time delay before general faults are activated

Liquid Level Alarm Delay
Delay applied before the Low or High liquid alarm is
generated.

Liquid Level
Liquid Level Detector uses 4-20mA Input 3 on the Plant controller. Where 4mA will give a reading of 0% and 20mA
will give a reading of 100%. The Span and Offset parameters for Transducer input 3 do not require adjustment and
can be left at the default values. “Low Liquid Level Alarm” (P-482) and “High Liquid Level Alarm” (P-481) can be
generated. The alarm has a settable delay.
Run-Proof
This is a “global” parameter if set to on the Status fault inputs are used to prove that compressors are running.
Configure the status inputs, using either Compressor Normally Closed or Compressor Normally Open, that
correspond with each relay output. When the relay output is energised and the run proof signal isn’t returned within
the specified time period, then the compressor relay will go off and be taken out of the control strategy until the run
proof has been reset. The run-proof feature uses the status fault delay (P-60) and all run proof signals must be
returned within this delay period. Run proofs are used with compressor (Comp) stages only. This feature can be
used in both Fuzzy and Staged applications.
