Pumpdown circuit
Yes
Yes
No
Unit power up
Circuit is in Off state
No
Run circuit
When the circuit begins to run, the compressor will be started and the EXV, fans, 
and other devices will be controlled as needed. The normal circuit status at this 
time will be Run.
When the circuit is commanded to shut down, a normal shut down of the circuit will 
be performed. The circuit status during this time will be Run:Pumpdown. After 
the shut down is completed, the circuit status will normally be Off:Cycle Timer 
initially.
When the circuit is in the Off state the EXV is closed, compressor is off, and all fans 
are off. 
Is circuit is enabled to 
start?
Yes
No
The circuit must be enabled before it can run. It may be disabled for several 
reasons. When the circuit switch is off, the status will be Off:Circuit Switch.
If the BAS has disabled the circuit, the status will be Off:BAS Disable. If the circuit 
has an active stop alarm then the status will be Off:Cir Alarm. If the circuit has 
been disabled via the circuit mode set point, the status will be Off:Cir Mode 
Disable.

ready?
Yes
No
If the compressor is not ready due to refrigerant in the oil, the circuit cannot start. 
The circuit status will be Off:Refr In Oil.
Circuit is ready to start
If the compressor is ready to start when needed, the circuit status will be 
Off:Ready.
Are compressor cycle 
timers active?
No
