Reciprocating compressor controllers to retrofit all major manufacturers’ units
“Off The Shelf” controllers such as evaporator panels, condenser panels, pump package panels and ice rink skid panels
Stand alone controllers for ice machines, spirals, chillers, engine control, etc.
Many options available in each module
What a user-friendly interface should look like:
Meaningful, readable displays with information organized by function, making the system easier to use
Transfer of training – consistent user interface across all product lines including PC software; you only need to learn one system
“At a Glance Technology” – data formatted and highlighted for quick reference by the operator
Logs — extensive logging capability provides a very useful diagnostic tool for isolating system problems
Alarms and failures — extensive alarms with names in user-friendly text
