DC Bus Voltage Isolation Board
LD10620
The DC Bus Isolation Board allows the VSD Logic 
Board to read the voltage on the DC BUS without 
exposing the VSD Logic Board to the high voltage. 
Instead, the DC Bus Isolation Board contains a resis-
tor network that forms voltage dividers with resistors 
on the VSD Logic Board, which steps down the volt-
ages so that scaled down voltages proportional to the 
full and 1/2 bus voltages can be safely fed to the VSD 
Logic Board. The DC Bus Isolation Board supplies 3 
connections to the VSD Logic Board; plus bus, minus 
bus and half bus.
Chiller Circuit Breaker
LD10623
An Optional Circuit Breaker may be supplied on the 
input of the system. The incoming power will be fed 
to the terminals on the circuit breaker. If the Circuit 
Breaker Option is not selected, incoming power will 
be fed to terminal blocks. The breaker also provides 
ground fault protection. 2 and 3 compressor chillers 
utilize one circuit breaker, while 4 compressor chillers 
utilize 2 breakers.
CHILLER CONFIGURATION JUMPERS
There are a number of chiller configuration jumpers 
that are factory wired into wire harnesses or plugs. 
These jumpers typically never need to be reviewed un-
less in some unlikely situation, a chiller is incorrectly 
configured or a loose connection occurs.
Number of Compressors Configuration 
Jumper
Software packs (EPROM’s) are common between 
2, 3 and 4 compressor chillers. As a result, the VSD 
Logic Board must be configured for the actual num-
ber of compressors. The chiller is configured for the 
number compressors through the use of jumpers, fac-
tory plugged into the J1 plug on the VSD Logic Board. 
This hard wiring configures the VSD Logic Board 
for the number of compressors on the chiller, avoid-
ing mis-programming. The jumpers are only checked 
at power-up. If no jumpers are sensed, or an invalid 
combination is sensed and communicated to the Chill-
er Control Board, start-up of the unit will be inhibited 
and an “INVALID NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS 
SELECTED” warning message will be displayed in 
the Status display. 
Table 3 on page 195 shows the chiller number of 
compressors and the associated location of the jumpers 
to program the appropriate compressor configuration.
