The "On/Off" and "Cold/Hot" controls
should be set:
- Only on the GR3 Master board using
the keyboard, if the machine is in Local
mode
- Through the BMS, if the machine is in Re-
mote mode.
NOTE
THE SLAVE BOARD CAN HAVE A DELAY OF
APPROXIMATELY 20" FROM THE OFF COM-
MAND.

SETPOINT
There is only one settings menu; use the ar-
row keys to move between settings.

REGULATING
THE THERMOSTAT
The water temperature is regulated by the
pCO board, which reads the settings on the
GR3 "Master" board and sends a power re-
quest (0-100%) to the two chillers through
serial communication. Each chiller receives
the power request and controls the rota-
tion of its compressors independently.
Chiller rotation is controlled by the pCO ac-
cording to the sum of all the compressors'
working hours (the sum is divided by 10,
so if the sum is less than 10 the "master"
chiller is always the first to start and the
last to stop).
Temperature regulation can take place at
the water's inlet or outlet, depending on the
settings on the GR3 board.

For reasons of consistency, all the setpoints

have no effect) will be lost. The power re-

quest is sent to the chillers as shown in the
examples below (at cold temperature, with
proportional regulation only, C1 = chiller
with less working hours). The Step setting
that arranges the chillers in parallel or in
cascade is: STEP 25% (default).
The default Step value provides uniform sys-
tem control and prevents problems caused
by the evaporators being connected in par-
allel (having a low temperature adjusted to
the common flow, with only one chiller run-
ning and maximum water flow, means hav-
ing very low temperatures at the working
machine's evaporator outlet), while at the
same time allowing minimum machine rota-
tion, so that one chiller can even be switched
off during periods of low requirement.
NOTE
Chiller rotation is not affected by alarms
regarding the chillers.
If all the circuits are on alarm, chiller re-
quests are brought to 0%
