In response to customer demand, and with an increasing number of cooling applications requiring multiple air conditioners on a single cabinet, Kooltronic has developed the KLLC100 Lead-Lag Controller, an option for use with all Kooltronic air conditioners equipped with a 24V relay and external connection (option "D").
This true dual-stage device allows users to control the operation of up to two air conditioners based on either temperature or run-time. For users with fluctuating heat loads, the Lead-Lag Controller will bring the second air conditioner on-line as the heat load increases, and shuts it down as the demand for additional cooling diminishes. It can also be used to distribute the run-time over multiple units, balancing the service life of the air conditioners.
Applications using more than one air conditioner on a cabinet, either for extreme heat load or as a redundant system are becoming more prevalent. Adding a Lead-Lag Controller is an effective solution for users who need to maintain a critical cabinet temperature without interruption or failure.
The Controller features an LED display to indicate which air conditioner is on the run cycle and whether a unit is in the cooling or heating mode, if equipped with a heater. There is also an easy-to-read display panel that provides options to tailor the control of the air conditioners to suit any application. Other standard features include a built-in thermostat with adjustable set-point, deadband and sequencer. A universal mounting plate is supplied for simple installation within the cabinet. The KLLC100 Lead-Lag Controller works with 115 and 230V units, and is supplied with a 115V wall outlet transformer. Kooltronic also offers the KLLC480, designed to work with 480V units. The KLLC480 comes with a multi-voltage field-wired transformer. NOTE: The KLLC100-480 is not RoHS compliant.
