If SP.AV is verified to change properly at 50% and 100%
capacity, then DS.ST= PASS, otherwise DS.ST=FAIL.
EXV Auto-Component Test — The EXV auto-com-
ponent test requires the following conditions:
1. Unit is not shut down due to failure (A152).
2. OAT>70 F.
3. No compressors are on or requested on.
4. A1, B1, and B2 are available on a 75-ton unit, A1, A2,
B1, B2 are available on 90, 105, 120, 130, and 150-ton
units.
The testing screen will display the following:
The EXV auto-component test functions by staging com-
pressor A1, B1, and B2 for a 75-ton unit and A1, A2, B1, B2
for other units, and verifying the superheat is within ±
AC_SH_DB (auto-component test superheat deadband) of the
superheat setpoint (SH.SP).
The auto-component test superheat deadband
(AC_SH_DB) will default to 2 F with a range of 0° to 10 F.
Setting XA.TS=ON will perform the following:
1. Stage compressors A1/B1/B2 for 75-ton unit, A1/A2/B1/
B2 for other units.
2. Allow compressors to run for 5 minutes
3. Verify that SH.A1, SH.A2, SH.B1, and SH.B2 have sta-
bilized to SH.SP ± AC_SH_DB. If all four superheats are
SH.SP ± AC_SH_DB then set PASS status and end test.
4. If any superheat is outside SH.SP ± AC_SH_DB, allow
compressors to run for 5 more minutes
5. Set PASS/FAIL status according to whether each super-
heat has stabilized to SH.SP ± AC_SH_DB and end test
If SH.SP ± AC_SH_DB then XA.ST= PASS, otherwise
XA.ST=FAIL.
If the EXV superheat is not within SH.SP ± SH.DB, the su-
perheat alert will be logged:
Refrigerant Charge Auto-Test (without Liquid
Sensors) —
The refrigerant charge auto test without liquid
sensors requires the following conditions:
1. Unit is not shut down due to failure (A152).
2. OAT>70 F.
3. No compressors are on or requested on.
4. All compressors are available for staging.
The test screen will display the following:
When no liquid sensors are installed, all compressors and
outdoor fans of both circuit A and B are commanded to be ON.
The operator will read OAT, SCT.A, and SST.A, in order to
then compare the values to the A charging chart to determine if
refrigerant in circuit A is properly charged. The operator reads
OAT, SCT.B, and SST.B, in order to then compare the values to
the B charging chart to determine if refrigerant in Circuit B is
properly charged. Thus this is a semi-auto test because the op-
erator intervention is required to determine the test results. No
test results are displayed.
Setting CT.ST=ON will perform the following:
1. Command supply fan ON.
2. Command all A and B Circuit outdoor fans ON.
3. Stage all A and B Circuit compressors ON.
4. Let compressors run 5 minutes.
5. Prompt user to read charging charts
6. Let compressors run 5 minutes.
7. End test.
Refrigerant Charge Auto Test (with Liquid
Sensors) — The refrigerant charge auto test with liquid
sensors requires the following conditions:
1. Unit is not shut down due to failure (A152).
2. Liquid sensors installed and enabled.
3. OAT>75 F.
4. No compressors are on or requested on.
5. All compressors are available for staging.
6. Calculated subcooling both circuit A and B is < -1.5.
7. SST.A and SST.B > AC_SST_M.
The test screen will display the following:
All compressors and outdoor fans of circuits A and B are
commanded to ON. OAT and subcooling (SC.A) will then be
used by the algorithm as described in the steps below to deter-
mine the refrigerant charge level.
AC_SST_M (Auto-Component Minimum SST) is the mini-
mum SST read during a charge determination test. If at any
time during the test, SST.A or SST.B is less than AC_SST_M,
then the test shall be cancelled. AC_SST_M shall default to 40
and have a range of 20 to 100.
Setting CT.ST=ON will perform the following:
1. Command supply fan ON.
2. Command all A and B circuit outdoor fans ON.
