Introduction

This manual provides installation, operation, and maintenance information for Daikin Pathfinder® model AWV screw chillers with the
MicroTech® III controller.

WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Improper handling of this equipment can cause personal injury or equipment damage. This equipment must
be properly grounded. Connections to and service of the MicroTech® III control panel must be performed only by personnel that are
knowledgeable in the operation of the equipment being controlled.

CAUTION
Static sensitive components. A static discharge while handling electronic circuit boards can cause damage to the components. Use
a static strap before performing any service work. Never unplug any cables, circuit board terminal blocks, or power plugs while
power is applied to the panel.

CAUTION
When moving refrigerant to/from the chiller using an auxiliary tank, a grounding strap must be used. An electrical charge builds
when halo-carbon refrigerant travels in a rubber hose. A grounding strap must be used between the auxiliary refrigerant tank and
the chiller’s end sheet (earth ground), which will safely take the charge to the ground. Damage to sensitive electronic components
could occur if this procedure is not followed.

CAUTION
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with this instruction
manual, it may cause interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful
interference in which case the owner will be required to correct the interference at the owner’s own expense.
Daikin Applied disclaims any liability resulting from any interference or for the correction thereof.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

DANGER
Dangers indicate a hazardous situation, which will result in death or serious injury if not avoided.

WARNING
Warnings indicate potentially hazardous situations, which can result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death if not
avoided.

CAUTION
Cautions indicate potentially hazardous situations, which can result in personal injury or equipment damage if not avoided.

 Isolator Information

Isolator Information

Isolator Installation Figure 43: Spring Isolator - 2 Spring Schematic

Transfer and place the unit as indicated in the Installation

section beginning on page 7. In all cases, set the unit in
place and level. If anti-skid pads are used, do not use hold
down bolts. If hold down bolts are used, do not use anti-skid
pads.
Mounting locations for each model configuration can be
found in the Dimensional Drawings section beginning on
page 35 or in the Submittal As-Built Drawings, available
from a Daikin Applied sales representative. Submittal As-
Built Drawings also specify the correct isolator color for each
mounting location, if ordered.
When spring isolators are required, install springs under the
main unit supports. Then unit should be set initially on shims or
blocks at the listed spring free height. Isolator springs should
not be loaded until all unit installation tasks are complete,
then the springs should be adjusted to the vendor listed
compression for the load point. When securing the isolator, do
not overtighten the mounting bolts. Overtightening may result
in cracking of the cast isolator housing and will have a negative Figure 44: Spring Isolator - 4 Spring Schematic
impact on the isolation effect.
Installation of spring isolators requires flexible piping
connections and at least three feet of flexible electrical conduit
to avoid straining the piping and transmitting vibration and
noise.
Neoprene waffle pads, supplied by customers, should be
mounted at the defined mounting point locations along the full
rail width.

Staging Concept
As long as the condenser saturated temperature is within the band defined by the active stage up deadband and active stage down
deadband, the fan stage will not change. When saturated condenser temperature is outside of the deadbands, error is accumulated
and will cause a change in the fan stage.

Limit Target Condenser saturated temperature

Staging Up
When the saturated condenser temperature is above the Target + the active deadband, a Stage Up error is accumulated.
Stage Up Error Step = saturated condenser temperature – (target + Stage Up Deadband)
The Stage Up Error Step is added to Stage Up Accumulator once every five seconds, only if the saturated condenser temperature
is not falling. When the Stage Up Error Accumulator is greater than 11°C (19.8°F) fan stage is increased by 1. When a stage up
occurs or the saturated condenser temperature falls back within the Stage Up deadband the Stage Up Accumulator is reset to zero.

Liquid Line Solenoid Valve

As an option, the chiller can be equipped with liquid line
solenoid valves. When configured with this option, the Liquid
Line Solenoid Valve Configuration setting should be set to Yes.
If the chiller is configured with liquid line solenoid valves, the
liquid line solenoid valve output should be activated when the
circuit enters the Preopen state and remain on during the Start

after the circuit enters the Pumpdown state or when the circuit

Circuit Capacity Overrides

The following conditions override automatic capacity control
as described. These overrides keep the circuit from entering a
condition in which it is not designed to run.

High Water Temperature Capacity Limit

If the evaporator LWT is 25°C (77°F) or higher, the circuit
capacity will be limited. If circuit capacity resulting from the
next compressor speed increase is 81.5% or more, the circuit
cannot increase in capacity.
If the circuit capacity is higher than 81.5%, the circuit will
reduce capacity until it is at 81.5% or lower.
Once this limit is triggered, it will be in effect until evaporator
LWT is less than 25°C (77°F) for at least one minute.

Flow Switch Setup

The flow switch comes from the factory set at a default
velocity of 20 cm/s. This value is typically well below the
minimum water flow specified for the unit’s evaporator so field
adjustment is required for adequate low flow protection. Table
55 are the calculated gallons per minute (gpm) for Schedule 40
steel pipe for various fluid velocities from 20 cm/s to 300 cm/s.
The flow switch has an overall range of adjustment from 3 cm/s
to 300 cm/s.
Step 1: Adjust flow through the evaporator to the minimum
desired operating gpm. Maintain this flow throughout the setup
procedure.

returns to the operating mode with the newly set
value.
Flow below display range: The SP LED will be lit red and
the leftmost LED will be flashing green. For example, if the SP
was set to 200 cm/s, the flashing labeled ‘0’ would indicate that
the flow was below 180 cm/s. This would be shown if no flow
through chiller or lowered than desired flow.

Figure 80: Display for Flow Below Range

In Step 3, the ‘Teach’ function re-adjusted the flow switch set
point (SP) while flow was at the minimum desired operating
flow. The chiller will not operate at this flow because the
flow switch is OPEN after performing the ‘Teach’ function.
The benefit of the ‘Teach’ function is to quickly set the set
point within the desired operating range. Additional ‘manual’
adjustment of set point is required in order to allow for chiller
operation at this minimum flow. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons on the
face of the flow switch allow for the manual adjustment of the
SP. Pressing the ‘+’ button reduces the flow set point while
pressing the ‘-’ button increases the flow set point. Each button
press, ‘+’ or ‘-‘, changes the flow set point by 2.5 cm/s.
Step 4: Press the ‘+’ button until LED ‘9’ begins to flash, as
shown in Figure 79. Opening of flow switch should now occur
at approximately 80% to 90% of minimum flow. Flow above display range: The SP LED will be lit amber, all
LEDs to the left and right of the SP LED with be green with the
Figure 79: Upper Range of Minimum Flow rightmost LED flashing green. For example, if the SP was set
to 200 cm/s, the flashing LED labeled ‘9’ would indicate that
the flow was above 230 cm/s. This may be a normal display
depending on range by which flow varies through chiller.

Figure 81: Display for Flow Above Range

Step 5: Once the SP is set, it is recommended that the

sensor be locked to avoid inadvertent readjustment. This
can be performed by pressing both the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons
simultaneously for 10 seconds. The indication goes out
momentarily indicating the unit is locked. To unlock, the same

During the condensing process, refrigerant in the coil passes
through the microchannel flat tubes, resulting in higher
efficiency heat transfer from the refrigerant to the airstream. In
the unlikely occurrence of a coil leak, contact Daikin Applied to
receive a replacement coil module.

Fitting a New Oil Filter Element – Reassembly

Before reassembly, remove any paint from joint faces. Inspect
parts individually for damage and ensure they are completely
clean before laying them out on a clean surface in a logical
order ready for reassembly.
Use fresh refrigerant oil to lubricate parts during reassembly.
1. Install new O-rings on the oil filter housing cover.
2. Insert new oil filter into the housing, ensuring the filter
sits tightly on the sealing spigot.
3. Replace the oil filter housing cover.
