When the compressor is equipped with VSD and the soft Centa coupling one of the following
unloading functions must be chosen:
• VSD normal – see subsection 6.4.3. Compressor block.
• VSD total – see subsection 6.4.3. Compressor block.
Additional unloading is not available with Centa coupling.
Table 28 shows SMC VSD cylinder unloading with the Centa coupling. Percentages shown are
the capacity at maximum speed.

Table 28: SMC VSD cylinder unloading configuration with Centa coupling
The digital output and solenoid valves which must be activated to provide capacity control are
emphasised with bold letters.
The Thermo Pump TPV connection for the high cylinder part is also shown in Table 28. The
TPV connection has not been changed - it is the same as for the standard compressor.
*) Note that on a standard TSMC 116 compressor, output DO09 will correspond to 33% (4+2
cylinders). With VSD unloading, DO09 will correspond to 17% (2+2 cylinders).
