Start-Up and Shutdown
RTAF-SVX001K-EN 63
Stopped to Starting
The figure below shows the timing from a stopped mode
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
• Need to cool (differential to start) already exists
The above conditions would allow a compressor to start in
about 20 seconds.

**Note:If Free Cooling is active, itwill be the first
stageof cooling to stage on.
