pLAN 
Peco Local Area Network is the proprietary name of the network connecting the control 
elements. 
Refrigerant Saturated Temperature 
Refrigerant saturated temperature is calculated from the pressure sensor readings for 
each circuit. The pressure is fitted to an R-134a temperature/pressure curve to determine 
the saturated temperature. 
Soft Load 
Soft Loading is a configurable function used to ramp up the unit capacity over a given 
time period, usually used to influence building electrical demand by gradually loading 
the unit. 
SP 
Setpoint 
SSS 
Solid state starter as used on McQuay screw compressors. 
Suction Superheat 
Suction superheat is calculated for each circuit using the following equation: 
  Suction Superheat = Suction Temperature – Evaporator Saturated Temperature 
See page 38 for details. 
Stage Up/Down Accumulator 
The accumulator can be thought of as a bank storing occurrences that indicate the need 
for an additional fan. 
Stageup/Stagedown Delta-T 
Staging is the act of starting or stopping a compressor or fan when another is still 
operating. Startup and Stop is the act of starting the first compressor or fan and stopping 
the last compressor or fan. The Delta-T is the “dead band” on either side of the setpoint 
in which no action is taken.
Stage Up Delay 
The time delay from the start of the first compressor to the start of the second. 
Startup Delta-T 
Number of degrees above the LWT setpoint required to start the first compressor. 
Stop Delta-T 
Number of degrees below the LWT setpoint required for the last compressor to stop. 
VDC 
Volts, Direct current, sometimes noted as vdc.
