Notes:
1. Step 1 is Hot Gas Bypass and is skipped when loading occurs. Hot Gas Bypass operation is inhibited during Pumpdown. For Discharge Air
Temperature Control the Hot Gas Bypass solenoid is energized only when the lead compressor is running and the DAT < SP, the Hot Gas
Bypass solenoid is turned o when the DAT > SP + CR/2.
2. Step 3 is skipped when loading occurs.
3. Step 4 is skipped when unloading occurs.
* STEP can be viewed using the OPER DATA key and scrolling to COOLING DEMAND.
4. Each system will attempt to rotate the lead compressor start sequence to help even out the run hours in a system, therefore piping suction
risers should be sized o the smallest compressor capacity in either system.
