Power Up to Starting
The following diagram shows the timing from a power up
event to energizing the first compressor. The shortest
allowable time would be under the following conditions:
• No motor restart inhibit time left from subsequent starts
• Evaporator water flow occurs quickly with pump on
command
• Power up Start Delay set to 0 minutes
• Need to cool (differential to start) already exists
• Oil level is detected immediately
The above conditions would allow for a minimum power up
to starting the first compressor time of about 45 seconds.
(Variations may exist due to options installed.)
Note: Do not start a chiller “cold”. The oil heaters must be
in operation for a sufficient length of time prior to first
start.

On a manifolded circuit, GP4 will be the first to start and last to stop;
GP2 will not run by itself.
