CONTROLLER : OPERATION & FUNCTIONS
The COOLINE Packaged units are provided with technologically advanced new Performex
TM
Controller Microprocessor Based
Electronic Control Board, incorporating the following benefits and features:
- COMPLETE UNIT CONTROL: Provides complete unit control for heating and cooling application whether single
stage or two stage utilizing the input from sensor that measure temperatures during unit operation.
- COMPRESSOR LOCKOUT: If any of the unit’s safety controls trip due to abnormal conditions the Electronic
Control locks out the compressor, preventing restart, unless attended by qualified service technicians. The unit can
be re-started only by reset the thermostat after ensuring safe system conditions.
- LEAD LAG OPERATION: The unit electronic controls automatically alternate lead and lag the compressors for
even operation. Compressor #1 can be set always lead as an option.
- ANTI-RECYCLE TIMER: For compressor safety in case of accidental manual reset or immediate recycling of
thermostat due to load demand. This considerably improves compressor life.
- PUMP DOWN OPTION: In units equipped with pump down system the time delay creates the required time gap between
the solenoid opening and compressor start to equalize the pressure in the system prior to compressor start up.
- AUTO/MANUAL RESET OF THE ALARM SIGNALS.
- FULL CONTROL OF THE INDOOR FAN: Fan operation can be selected either to run continuously or stage with
the compressor/heaters.
- PROTECTION: The Performex
TM
Controller will provide the following protection:
1. Compressor high pressure protection (option)
2. Compressor low pressure protection
