Compressor Safety Devices
The compressors have motor
temperature cutout switches in the motor
windings. These switches are provided to
take the compressors off line during high
motor winding temperature conditions.
If a compressor low pressure cutout
opens during compressor start-up, the
UCM will not shut the compressor off
during the first two to three minutes after
start-up. This prevents possible nuisance
trips during low ambient start conditions.
See Table O-SO-2.
Each compressor’s discharge line
contains a high pressure cutout. Under
abnormal operating conditions, the cutout
will open to stop compressor operation.

Step Control
Steps of mechanical cooling are control
based on supply air or zone temperature.
See Table O-SO-1 on page 95 for
compressor staging.
Capacity is based on an integrating
control concept. The unit capacity
matches the existing load and maintains
an average supply air temperature within
the supply air setpoint temperature
control band region.
The supply air temperature control band
is centered around supply air tempera-
ture setpoint and is adjustable from 2 to
12 F. In a steady state, the unit will either
maintain a constant level of cooling
capacity with the supply air temperature
within the control band, or the highest
active cooling level will cycle to provide
an average supply air temperature equal
to the setpoint.
If the supply air temperature swings
outside the limits of the control band, the
mechanical cooling capacity will increase
or decrease by one level accordingly. The
change occurs by integrating the tem-
perature offset from the control band
limit.
A minimum time delay of five minutes
follows each change in cooling level. This
time delay promotes stability by allowing
the system to respond to the change
before any further control action occurs.
As the supply air temperature ap-
proaches setpoint, the time duration
between changing levels of cooling
capacity increases.
See Figure O-SO-2 for the typical unit
operating curve. Figure O-SO-3 shows
typical unit performance when supply air
temperature swings exceed the control
band limits.
