the point where line amps equal the configured SOFTSTOP

will probably be at or below the soft stop threshold amps when
the stop signal is received.) At that point, or one minute after
the stop signal occurs (whichever is earlier), the VFD is set to
STOP. If the STOP key is depressed a second time during the
soft stop or within one minute of the stop signal occurring, the
compressor is immediately stopped.
When the VFD is set to STOP, the compressor is turned off.
The compressor shut down is confirmed by monitoring load
amps. When the compressor shutdown is verified, the oil pump
is turned off and VFD STOP is complete. After one minute, the
chilled liquid pump is turned off, unless it is a recycle shut-
down. At this point, the compressor on-time and service on-
time timers are turned off, and the stop-to-start timer is turned
on.
At this time the condenser liquid pump is also shut off, pro-
vided that the entering condenser liquid temperature is 115 F
(6.1 C) or greater, and the condenser refrigerant temperature is
greater than the condenser freeze point plus 5° F (3° C). Other-
wise, it remains under the control of the Condenser Pump

nal and display approximately 6 vdc . If the output remains at a
constant voltage other than 6 vdc or shows 0 volts, remove the

the EXV board when the valve is stationary.
If the reading is correct, the expansion valve and EXV wir-

sure that all are connected to the correct terminals and that
wires are not crossed. Check for continuity and tight connec- a23-1723

NOTES:
1. This feature is standard in the 23XRV controls, but requires a
controller with a non-grounded 4 to 20 mA or 1 to 5 vdc output
signal, not by Carrier.
2. This feature is standard in the 23XRV controls, but requires an
external controller with a non-grounded 4 to 20mA output signal,
not by Carrier.
3. This feature is standard in the 23XRV controls, but requires a
sensor package option, by Carrier. (Item #3 see option listing.)
4. This feature is standard in the 23XRV controls. Controllers moni-
toring this signal must have a non-grounded input with a maxi-
mum impedance of 500 ohms.
5. See Fig. 71 for P compressor control panel component layout.
