Modes Of Operation
The RECIP Compressor package has several modes of operation. The mode is changed by using the
MODE key and making a selection from the Operation mode menu. The modes of operation are as
follows:
1. Manual - Starting, Stopping and Capacity Control are all performed manually.
2. Automatic - Starting and Stopping can be performed manually or automatically based on Suction
Pressure or Process Temperature. Capacity Control is performed automatically to maintain a specific
control setpoint.
3. Remote - Starting, Stopping and Capacity Control in the Remote mode can only be performed from a
remote computer.
4. Auto-Remote - Similar to the Automatic mode except starting and stopping are performed using the
external Remote Start/Stop input or messages from a remote computer. The setpoint group can only be
selected from a remote computer.
5. Sequenced - This mode is utilized when two or more compressors are being used to control the same
load.
NOTE: The Remote, Auto-Remote, and Sequenced modes are available as system options.
