OVERVIEW:

Beginning in week 40 of 2009, 30RB chillers manufactured in Charlotte, N.C. were
shipped with version 5.04 software on the main base board (MBB). This bulletin
provides details on the changes associated with this version and prior versions
per the information below.



ACTIONS:


Factory: Beginning with serial number 4009Qnnnnn the factory began
installing version 5.04 on the MBB on all 30RBA chillers.

No modifications to the chiller are required for this upgrade in software.


Warning: Do not perform any of the servicing instructions provided in this Service Bulletin
unless you are a trained and qualified technician. Observe all precautions in the instructions,
equipment tags, labels and observe all other safety precautions that may apply. Failure to

Information


Version 5.04 (CSA-SR-20C460504) was released for production with units having serial
number beginning with XX09Qnnnnn. This version includes the following changes.

- Black Box Data improvement: cooler flow switch is not saved in off mode to avoid
overloaded memory due to automatic reset.
- Support added for heat reclaim option on 60hz units.



Version 5.02 (CSA-SR-20C460502) was released for production with units having
serial number beginning with 0709Qnnnnn. This version includes the following
changes.

- Corrected issue with nuisance P.16 thru P.27 alarms Compressor Not Started or
Pressure Not Established.
Reduced threshold for compressor startup detection from 10 PSI to 3 PSI at
start if EWT < 50F.
- Corrected issue of high pressure alarms on 060 and 070 size units with MCHX
condenser coils and low ambient head pressure control option.
- Established a delay of 50sec for Hot Gas Bypass at startup to satisfy delta pressure
- Corrected the EMM occupancy override switch input. It was originally mapped to the
wrong location.



- The following chart shows a list of all the new parameters and where they are
found in the Local Display tables.

Version 5.01 (CSA-SR-20C460501) changes : (SSN 3308Q)
- Added dual speed fan parameter in FACTORY configuration
This configuration is not supported.
- Corrected issue with P.14 flow switch alarm not being displayed
when alarm occurred.
- Added minimum cooling setpoint parameter in Service configuration for
brine applications.
- Improvement for MCHX application to avoid high pressure trip.
- Superheat setpoint default has been raised from 7.2F to 9.0F.




Version 4.01 (CSA-SR-20C460401) changes : (SSN 4407Q)
- Added several configuration items to the Local Display tables.
- VLT FAN DRIVE SELECT (Not Supported)
Configuration>UNIT>VLT.S = 0
- VLT FAN DRIVE RPM (Not Supported)
Configuration>UNIT>RPM.F = 0
- MCHX Select (Must be configured to Yes if unit has MCHX coils)
Configuration>UNIT>MCHX = YES
- ATTACH DRIVE TO FAN x (x = Ckt. A,B,C)
Configuration>SERV>AVFx = NO
- Added SP transducer failure condition to welded contactor logic.






Version 4.00 (CSA-SR-20C460400) changes: (Service Release Only)
- Improve fan control especially to ensure correct SST at OAT below 57F
- Correct a bug on fan controls introduced in version 3.01 which could
cause fan cycling at low OAT
- Added configuration parameters for MCHX exchanger, desuperheater
option and Danfoss VFD configuration
Desuperheater and Danfoss VFD is not offered at this time
- Added ability to force pump operation from Scrolling Marquee
- Brine freeze setpoint default value is 34F instead of 14F

Version 3.01 (CSA-SR-20C460301) changes: (SSN 1707Q)
- Added welded contactor detection and management
Welded contactor alarm is generated (Ct.01,Ct.02,Ct.03)
EXV and Fan control shall go back to normal operation
Unit shall shut down and remain at 0% capacity
Cooler pump shall be controlled to ON
- The welded contactor management is cancelled if one of the following
conditions occur
Cooler flow switch failure
High pressure trip
Cooler freeze protection alarm
- Modified Black Box data management
PCDCT ver. 1.5.3 or higher required
- Improve compressor operating envelope protection
- Improve Dual Chiller control
If compressor is disabled algorithm will correctly declare it unavailable
and allow lag chiller to start



Version 2.01 (CSA-SR-20C460201) changes: (SSN 4406Q)
- If the motor temperature sensor is open circuited, alarm NX.04
(Compressor Motor Sensor PTC Out of Range) will always be
declared. Previously sometimes NX.01 (Compressor Motor Temp
Too High) would be declared.
- Nuisance suction pressure transducer faults Pr.04, Pr. 05, Pr.06
with the minimum Load Valve Option have been addressed by
delaying activation of the HGBP valve for 1 min. until the drop in
suction pressure has been tested for.
- If saturated suction temperature is low, a compressor will not be
Permitted to run in the Service Test Mode.
- In order to capture Black Box data in the case of welded compressor
contacts, the low SST alarms P.05, P.06, P.07 will now be declared
even if a compressor is not running (per the control).




Version 2.00 (CSA-SR-20C460200) changes: (SSN 2906Q)
- Reduced occasional loss of configuration (rare)
- Fixes loss of communication with SPM issue (rare)
- Black box data management improved

- Reduced flow verification time from 1 minute to 45 seconds.
- Improved Dual pump management, pump rotation is performed first if there is no flow when
the first pump is tried.
- Logic for turning off the manual test mode (for testing compressors and minimum load valves)
has been fixed.
- Low saturated suction temperature unloading alert, now treated as an alarm
(P.40, P.41, P.42)
- Low superheat alarm (P.11, P.12, P.13) is now declared if (suction superheat is more
than 3.6 below the superheat set point or saturated suction temperature exceed the
MOP set point) and the EXV position is less than 5% open for more than 5 minutes.
- If a suction pressure transducer failure is detected during a QUIC TEST, no other
Test operations are permitted in that circuit.




Version 1.07 (CSA-SR-20C460107) changes: (SSN 2405Q)
- Changed EMSTOP variable display format to (enable/disable) from old format
