8 OM AGSD-1
OAT
Outside ambient air temperature
Offset
Offset is the difference between the actual value of a variable (such as temperature or
pressure) and the reading shown on the microprocessor as a result of the sensor signal.
pLAN
Peco Local Area Network is the proprietary name of the network connecting the control
elements.
Refrigerant Saturated Temperature
Refrigerant saturated temperature is calculated from the pressure sensor readings for each
circuit. The pressure is fitted to an R-134a temperature/pressure curve to determine the
saturated temperature.
Soft Load
Soft Loading is a configurable function used to ramp up the unit capacity over a given time
period, usually used to influence building electrical demand by gradually loading the unit.
SP
Setpoint
SSS
Solid state starter as used on McQuay screw compressors.
Suction Superheat
Suction superheat is calculated for each circuit using the following equation:
Suction Superheat = Suction Temperature – Evaporator Saturated Temperature
See page 38 for details.
Stage Up/Down Accumulator
The accumulator can be thought of as a bank storing occurrences that indicate the need for
an additional fan.
Stageup/Stagedown Delta-T
Staging is the act of starting or stopping a compressor or fan when another is still operating.
Startup and Stop is the act of starting the first compressor or fan and stopping the last
compressor or fan. The Delta-T is the “dead band” on either side of the setpoint in which no
action is taken.
Stage Up Delay
The time delay from the start of the first compressor to the start of the second.
Startup Delta-T
Number of degrees above the LWT setpoint required to start the first compressor.
Stop Delta-T
Number of degrees below the LWT setpoint required for the last compressor to stop.
VDC
Volts, Direct current, sometimes noted as vdc.
