If an alarm occurs, a red button appears on the
screen (a remote signal is also available). Pressing
this button immediately accesses the Active Fault
Screen that gives complete fault information. The
problem can be fixed and the fault can be quickly
and easily cleared at this point.
Changing Setpoints
The mystery of changing set points is a thing of the
past. Look at how easy the job becomes with the
Daikin McQuay MicroTech. For example, to
change the chilled water set point, press SET from
any screen, then press the WATER button and this
screen appears, press button #1, Leaving Water
Temperature, and you are ready to input a new
value. Selected setpoints can also be changed by
the BAS.

Trend Logging
Ever wonder how your chiller performed last
week? Were you holding the required chilled water
temperature? What kind of cooling load did the
chiller have?
The Daikin McQuay MicroTech controller can
record and plot water temperatures, refrigerant
pressures, and motor load in order to trend
performance. These values can also be downloaded
through a convenient USB port in the control
panel, and exported into a spreadsheet for further
evaluation and record purposes.

MicroTech Controller Increases Chiller
Operating Economy
Many standard features have been incorporated
into MicroTech control in order to maintain the
operating economy of Daikin McQuay centrifugal
chillers. In addition to replacing normal relay logic
circuits, we’ve enhanced the controller's energy
saving capabilities with the following features:
Direct control of water pumps
. Optically
isolated, digital output relays provide
automatic lead-lag of the evaporator and
condenser pumps, permitting pump operation
only when required.
User-programmable compressor soft loading
.
Prevents excessive power draw during pull
down from high unoccupied chilled water
temperature conditions.
Chilled-water reset
. Accomplished directly on
the unit by resetting the leaving water
temperature based on the return water
temperature. A remote 4-20 ma or 1-5 VDC
BAS signal can also be used to reset the
leaving water. Raising the chilled water
setpoint during periods of light loads
dramatically reduces electrical consumption.
