2 SYSTEM HARDWARE
This chapter describes the main components of the system, all the accessories, their connection and functions.
The software described below only uses the power of the system required for its operation, although, for the sake of
completeness, the entire system is described in this part of the manual.
6
2.1.1 The ―Small‖, ―Medium‖ and ―Large‖ cards
What distinguishes the card sizes is the number of inputs and outputs available.
The effectiveness and use of the cards are the same except for the ability to handle an extra card, which is possible
only with "Large" cards.

2.2 Connection to cards
The figure on the previous page shows the connection points of a ―Large" card.
In this section we will present in detail how you should carry out the connection of the various inputs and outputs to
the other cards or the terminal via the pLAN network and how to install the accessory cards.

If the local network is composed of cards powered by multiple transformers, an eventuality that occurs when multiple
units are interconnected as provided in the boss runner operation, the "Go" terminal must not be grounded.
In this case, it is recommended not to connect the "G" terminal to the ground to prevent the residual current from
circulating on the pLAN, due to the plant different grounding resistances.

2.2.2 Digital inputs
The opto-isolated digital inputs enable the control to receive information through the dry contacts.
Like the control power supply, all digital inputs can be supplied at 24V DC or AC.
Some inputs can be supplied with 24V or 230V; these inputs have a common terminal, one for 24V and another for
230V, so you must pay particular attention and carry out the connections properly, to avoid connecting wires under
230 voltage to terminals designed for 24V.

2.2.3 Digital outputs
Digital outputs are the dry relay contacts, normally open or in exchange, driven by the micro-processor.
The terminal connectors of the outputs are grouped and each group has a common pole, consequently the entire
group must power charges at the same voltage, while diverse groups can power feed circuits with different voltage.
The contacts are protected with 250Vac varistors. The common terminal connectors can be crossed by 8A resistive
or 2A inductive current (cos 0.4).

columns.
This key, hereinafter called ―upwards arrow‖ allows the user to scroll the templates of the
various branches and modify by increasing the values in the various fields.
This key, hereinafter called ―downwards arrow‖ allows the user to scroll the templates of the
various branches and modify by decreasing the values of the various fields.
This key, hereinafter called ―enter key‖ confirms the selection made both for accessing the
various branches and modifying parameters.
This key, hereinafter called ―alarm key‖, allows the alarm buzzer to be silenced, the active
alarms to be viewed and cancelled, if necessary.
This key, hereinafter called ―prog key‖, grants access to the templates loop of the various
branches.
This key allows the user to return to the upper templates level

2.2.7 Serial cards
3
The pCO control allows connection with two serials, one for monitoring and tele-management, the other for field
devices; cards for different standards of communication are available for both outputs.
The information reported in this chapter is probably not exhaustive; at some stage in the future other cards will be
available for communication with other protocols.
In regards to connection to monitoring and tele-assistance systems, the serial card with PCOS004850 code can be
used, that enables communication by using either the protocol ―Carel‖ or ―Modbus-Jbus‖ RTU.
Further possibilities in the serial communication are thanks to the use of the protocols of the HVAC world based on
the standard physical Ethernet by means of the PCO1000WB0 card.
This serial card enables connection to the local LAN or Internet networks, SNMP V1/2/3, BACnetTM EthernetTM, IP,
FTP and HTTP.
The PCO1000BB0 card is required in order to use the BACnet protocol in the RS485 version.
For connection to monitoring systems in England, the use of the TREND protocol is often required; in order to be
able to communicate with this protocol it is necessary to install the PCO100CLP0 card.
Finally, the RS232 PCO100MDM0 card can be installed in the same output, to communicate with a GSM modem.
In relation to the output dedicated to the field bus, the PCOS00HBF0 card is available which uses the CANbus
protocol to communicate with Carel hydronic systems.
15
Serial card PCOS00HBFO
Alternatively, on the same output, the PCO100TLN0 card can be installed which uses the tLAN Carel protocol to
communicate with other devices such as the EVD*400 drivers, for example, for electronic expansion valves.
The cards must be inserted into their designated housing, which features a comb connector.
16
For their installation, it is necessary to remove the door identified on the control featuring the writing ―serial card‖, for
the serial output dedicated to monitoring of tele-management or, with the writing ―field card‖, for the output dedicated
to the command of field devices.
In installing the serial card, it is necessary to block it between the two plastic supports welded to the container of the
3
pCO control.
Once the card is inserted, the door is put back in place by matching the exposed connector of the card with the pre-
cut hole of the actual door.
More detailed instructions are reported in the documentation provided with each card.
17
2.2.8 Programming keys
The Carel code of the programming key is PCOS00AKY0, hereinafter called ―Smart Key‖.
3
The Smart Key allows software configurations to be transferred from computer to pCO controls and vice versa.
3
Connection to the pCO takes place directly by means of telephonic connector, while it is necessary to use the USB
PCOS00AKC0 connector for connection with the computer.
3
Powering the Smart Key takes place from the USB port of the computer or directly from the pCO card, therefore a
power supply is not required.
Programming key
The USB convertor is necessary for connecting the Smart Key with the computer.
For operating of the convertor, in addition to the presence of the USB port, VCP drivers are required in the computer,
therefore the same used with the USB-485 convertor, if the USB-485 convertor is already in use, no other drivers
need by installed, otherwise resort to UTP.
On connecting the convertor to a USB port of the personal computer for the first time, the system detects the
presence of a new hardware and requests the installation of the VCP drivers for managing the serial port. At this
point the directory path featuring the drivers must be selected.
If the drivers are correctly installed, the system automatically detects a new COM port that will normally be COM3.
In the case of multiple adaptors connected to the same computer, the port assigned to the system must be checked.
In order to carry out all the Smart key reading, writing and configuration operations, a specific ―pco_manager‖
programme must be used.
ATTENTION
3
Do not connect the PCOS00AKC0 adaptor to the pCO telephone connector as this could cause irreversible damage
3 3
to the computer and the pCO . Use the specific CVSTDUTLF0 convertor for programming the pCO with the
computer.
In the following figure the connection of the programming key is connected to the computer using the specific
convertor and the USB serial port.
18
telephone cable USB cable
The key, as we have seen, can be programmed with a computer, using the ―pco_manager‖ programme.
The functions allowed with the use of the key can be set with the ―pco_manager‖ programme.
The functions that can be set in the key are summarised in table.
When the key is connected to a computer, the arrow symbols take on different meanings as reported in a table.
Flashing Awaiting connection with the PC
3
Once the desired function is set and correctly programmed, the key can be used with the pCO control.
The power supply must be removed from card before connecting the key to the telephonic connector in place of the
terminal.
When it is switched on again all of the symbols will light up for an instant and the buzzer will sound. It is therefore
necessary to wait several seconds before the key is operative.
3
This waiting period is indicated by the flashing symbol. At the end, the pCO card goes into programming mode
and the start key, now steadily lit, can be pressed to begin transferring data.
19
ATTENTION
If the key is type “B” or “C” (in written mode) pressing the start key causes the immediate cancellation of the software
3
loaded in the pCO .
3
When the key is connected to a pCO , the keys and the symbols have the functions reported in the table
3
Flashing: the key is in connection phase with the pCO card, during this
phase, which can last several seconds, the start key is disabled.
3
Start Flashing: the key has detected the pCO and is verifying the access permits.
On and steady: the pressure of the start key begins the writing of the
start + 3
software in the pCO .
3
On and steady: the pressure of the start key begins the reading of the pCO

pCO .
Steady on: for the ―C‖ type key, when pressed for 1 second, it performs the
Mode
commutation from reading and writing.
In the case of type ―C‖ keys, by pressing the ―mode‖ key for 1 second, the commutation from reading to writing is
3 3
performed, and vice versa. The (written to pCO ) and (reading of the pCO ) symbols perform the selected
status.
If the key is not type ―C‖, the ―mode‖ key is disabled and switched off.
The ―start‖ key starts the reading and writing action which will be indicated by the flashing of the relative symbol (
or ), with frequency proportional to the state of progress.
When the operation is complete, the buzzer sounds intermittently for 20 seconds. Successive pressing of the ―start‖
key makes the buzzer sound again without carrying out the command again, to repeat the operation the key must be
disconnected.
In the case of error the symbol is lit in combination with other LEDs. The following table enables the causes of the
problem to be traced.

2.3 CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CARDS
In addition to the connections made on the cards, it is possible to connect different cards and one or more user
interfaces.
The connection of multiple elements such as cards and user interfaces forms a local network.
The local network that connects the various components of the pCO family is called pLAN (pCO Local Area
Network).
In addition to the various serial cards, some cards for connection of the field bus are available with the controls of the
3
pCO family.
A field bus developed by Carel uses a driver with transistor; the connections between the various components that
use this field bus form a further local network called tLAN.
The two networks are differentiated for their physical characteristics which enable a different type of use.

In order to connect the terminal at a distance of more than 50 m and within 200 m, it is necessary to use 3 couples of
2
interwoven wires contained in a shielding with a minimum 0.5 mm diameter and ―T‖ deviators as shown in the
figure.
22
200 m
The pLAN network communicates with the standard serial RS485 with a baud-rate of 65.2 kbit/s, uses the Carel-
owned Multimaster protocol and can have a maximum extension of 500 m using the ―T‖ derivators for the remotings.
―T‖ deviator
In relation to cable connections, these must be done according to the table below.

4 Rx/Tx+ Third twisted pair B
5 GND Second twisted pair B
6 + VRL (30 Vdc) First twisted pair B
The code TCONN6J000 ―T‖ deviators are provided with three 6-way telephonic connectors (terminals A, B and C)
and a terminal board with screw terminal connectors (SC terminal).
By means of the J14 and J15 jumpers it is possible to insulate the power voltage between the SC connectors B C
and A, to allow the single passage of the communication signals.
23
The insulation occurs when the jumpers are placed on combs 2 and 3 while, with the jumpers on combs 1 and 2 it
takes place in addition to the passage of the communication signals of the power voltage also.
The metallic connector support must always be earthed.
The next chapter reports how to set the addresses to the various elements of the pLAN network.
Reported in the table are the addresses provided for the elements of a network for the management of a unit
composed of 4 refrigeration circuits, a local terminal and a possible remote terminal.
Addresses ―1‖ and ―2‖ are necessary for the software to identify the Master card and the Slave card, the expansion
card has address "17", the local terminal "21" and the remote "32".
The addressing of the terminals is conventional to remain uniform with the other software.
For the moment the function in network of multiple units is not provided, such as the software for chillers or for heat
pump ―FLBB0MP20A‖ in the ―Boss/Runner‖ function.
24
2.3.3 Local networks in tLAN
3
The bus fields on a serial card are available in the controls of the pCO family, in addition to the pLAN network.
The bus is defined as field due to the limited distance that must be respected between the various connected
components.
3
A field bus developed by Carel is called tLAN and allows 5 further devices to be connected to each pCO card.
Drivers for the electronic expansion valve command and further cards for increasing inputs and outputs available to
the system are the devices currently available.
The tLAN network is completely independent from the pLAN.
Similarly to the pLAN, all the network connected devices are identified by means of their address, which are
assigned via serial mode with appropriate software.
Also in this network, the addresses for each device in tLAN are fixed in the development phase of the software
therefore, at the moment of constructing the network that provided must be correctly assigned to each element.
2
The connection in tLAN is performed by means of shielded bipolar cable with a 0.5 mm diameter the maximum
3
possible distance between the pCO card and the farthest component in the network is 30m.
The tLAN quickly communicates the transmission of a value to insert in the software with 4800 baud-rate (bit/s) for
the setting of the serial address.
The connection takes place by means of screw terminal connectors.
In regards to the software for chillers and Blue Box heat pump, the serial in tLAN is used for communicating between
the control cards of the units and the drivers for the electronic expansion valves.
The addresses to assign in tLAN to the various drivers are reported in the following table.
1 1 2 1
2 3 4 3
3 1 2 1
4 3 4 3
The addresses to set in the drivers for the valves in circuits 3 and 4 are the same as circuits 1 and 2 in that they are
3
managed by 2 different pCO cards.
The addressing of the components of the tLAN network takes place by means of specific software, the use of which
is reported in the relative documentation.
An EVD4 driver is reported in the image.
25
3 PCO3 PROGRAMMING
3
Programming the pCO refers to the insertion o the software of the applicative for the management of the
refrigeration unit.
3
For the functioning of the microprocessor, in the pCO cards flash memory, the bios.bin and boot.bin files must be
present.
The cards can be programmed both with the key and with the computer by means of a dedicated ―WinLoad‖
software present in the ―pco_manager‖.
Independently from the method used, cards are programmed via serial by means of the same 6-way telephone
connector used for connection of the terminal.
3
To connect the pCO cards to the serial port of the computer a RS232/485 opto-isolated convertor is required,
powered with a 12Vac ―Carel code for the convertor kit PC485KIT*0‖ transformer or the convertor for a USB port
(Carel code for convertor CVSTDUTLF0).
However, in order to programme the cards, it is necessary to do so for all those used for controlling the unit, whether
they function by Master or by Slave and if necessary, if provided, by expansion.
ATTENTION
With the type “B” or “C” programmed key (written mode), pressing the “start” button causes the immediate
3
cancellation of the software loaded in the pCO .
26
3.2 Programming with a personal computer
3
To programme a pCO card with a personal computer the ―WinLoad32‖ in the ―pco_manager‖ must be installed.
3
A RS485/RS232 serial convertor is required in order to connect the pCO card to programme to the personal
computer.
3
Whatever the type of serial output used and relative convertor, its connection with the pCO card is performed by
means of a cable equipped with 6-way telephone connectors.
3
The connector to use on the pCO card is that identified with the initial J10, the same used for connecting the
terminal.
3
After having launched WinLoad32, set the same address as set on the connected card on the ―pCO
address‖ window, placed at the bottom right of the screen.
3
Power the pCO card electrically and wait for the writing "ON LINE" to appear, in the bottom left on the
WinLoad32 programme status bar, in place of ―OFF LINE‖.
If the connection is not performed on the correct serial output, next to the writing ―OFF LINE‖ the message
―SERIAL PORT ERROR‖ appears. To restore the connection the correct port must be selected on the
―COMM‖ window, found in the bottom right.
Once the connection has been established, by selecting the ―Upload‖ command on the drop down menu,
further choices appear ―application‖, ―bios‖, ―boot‖, ―Public Variables‖ and ―Log Project‖.
The first three commands are sufficient for downloading the programme.
In the case in which the boot and bios files must be downloaded in the card, in addition to the files of the application,
it is necessary to proceed as follows:
Select the path in the ―boot‖ window where the boot.bin file is present
Insert the password ―1234‖ and confirm by pressing ―enter‖
Select the boot.bin file and click ―Upload‖
At the end of the copying the writing ―OFF LINE‖ will appear on the status bar in the bottom left.
Select the path in the ―bios‖ window that features the bios.bin file.
Select the bios.bin file and click on ―Upload
In the ―application‖ window, select the path containing the files with the ―iup‖ extension and ―flash.bin‖
extensions to be copied
Select the flag under the windows that contain the files to copy to render them active
Select all the files with an ―iup‖ extension in the left window relative to the various languages that compose
the application and the ―flash.bin‖ file in the central window
Place the flag on the right hand window to select a configuration file
Launch the copying by selecting the ―Upload‖ command.
Complete the programming,
Remove the power from the pCO3 card and disconnect it from the convertor, and connect it correctly to the
network.
27
3.3 Addressing of the components of the pLAN network
All of the components (cards and terminals) are distinguished inside the pLAN network through their address.
As previously seen, a particular address must be assigned to each component.
In addition to setting the address of the components of the network it is necessary to address the terminals to the
reading of the cards.
The terminals must read the single Master cards, the only ones that manage the functioning parameters.
The Slave cards are used by the Masters to use the inputs and outputs.
A Master card can be read to the maximum by three terminals, only one of which can be configured as shared, the
other two must be configured as private.
A Master card and a terminal represent the indispensable components for the unit functioning, and constitute the
starting elements of a network.
The network presence or absence of a Slave card depends on the functions enabled in the configuration phase on
the Master card of the unit.
In any case the address to assign to the terminals, to the Master and Slave cards must be respected, as reported in
the table of the paragraph ―Addressing of the network element‖.
After several seconds the default Carel software present in the card to address, launches the addressing procedure
and the template reported below appears.
PLAN address: --
UP: increase
DOWN: decrease
ENTER: save & exit
28
After 5 seconds the template appears

The ―nn‖ value on the second row represents the current address of the terminal;
The ―xx‖ value on the fourth row represents the address of the card read by the terminal; only if the ―nn‖ address of
the terminal is set at ―00‖ this line will not appear.
By pressing the ―enter‖ key, the cursor is moved onto the first ―nn‖ field. At this point, the set value can be modified
with the arrow keys, increasing it with the upwards arrow and decreasing it with the downwards arrow.
If the value and, therefore, the address of the terminal are modified, after having pressed the ―enter‖ key, the
following confirmation templates will appear. After several instances, the display will return to the main menu

To address the reading of the terminal at a determined card, it is necessary to repeat the enablement of the
configuration procedure, as just described.
As we have seen, after first pressing the ―enter‖ key the cursor is moved under the first ―nn‖ field. Pressing it a
second time moves the cursor under the "xx" field.
Using the arrow keys, at this point, the card address field that the terminal will read can be modified.
The values that will appear are the address of the cards present online at that time.

3.3.3 Addressing for a single network unit
Also in the case a single unit is managed, the simple connection of a card with a terminal creates a pLAN network. It
is vital that the address of the components is the same as that reported in the ―addressing the network element‖
paragraph in the table of the addresses of a single unit.
To address the terminal proceed as follows:
Using the procedure just described it must reach as far as the last template viewed in the previous
paragraph.
Within the configuration template, move the cursor alongside the writing ―Trm1‖,
Use the arrows to vary the addressing field, field changing from ―None‖ to the value of the address of the
terminal that is being configured;
Confirm with ―enter‖ and access the successive field that should read ―--‖, press the arrows until ―Pr‖
appears;
Confirm again with ―enter‖ until the cursor is moved under ―N‖.
Using the arrows, change ―N‖ to ―Y‖ and confirm with ―enter‖.
If the unit also features the presence of a Slave card, and the programming has taken place using a Master
as a source, the Slave card must be addressed and its reading by the terminal cancelled.
The presence of a remote terminal can be requested in the pLAN network of a unit.
Addressing of the remote terminal occurs with the same procedure as previously seen, by setting its address at ―32‖
and inside the addressing procedure of the reading of the cards by the terminals, setting the address ―32‖ on the
field next to ―Term2‖.
In this case, since the two terminals refer to a single unit, it can be set either as private ―Pr‖, or shared ―Sh‖.
In the case of a single terminal, the procedure is concluded as described above.
- Access to the configuration procedure by simultaneously pressing and holding down the ―arrow‖ and
―enter‖ keys for five seconds, as described previously;
- Use the arrow keys to select the address of the Master card to which the terminal must be addressed and
confirm by pressing the ―enter‖ key;
- Access the configuration template by pressing the ―enter‖ key again;
- Select the address to be configured as private and its ―Pr‖ function on the row of the ―Trm1‖ terminal. Both
selections must each be followed by confirmation with the ―enter‖ key, which automatically moves the
cursor on to the next field;
- Select the row of the terminal ―Trm2‖, address ―32‖ of the shared terminal and the ―Sh‖ function. The
selections must be confirmed with the ―enter‖ key in this case also;
- Press the ―enter‖ key until the cursor is under ―N‖. Change ―N‖ using the arrows to ―Y‖ and confirm with
―enter‖.
The procedure must be repeated, from the second point, for all the Master cards in the network; the choice to set on
the private terminal ―Trm1‖ and on the shared terminal ―Trm2‖ is conventional.

4.2 Analog input verification
The analog inputs enable grant the reading of live signals 0/1V, 0.5/4.5V or 0/10V, in 0/20 mA or 4/20 mA power or
signals that vary the ohmic value upon the change in temperature.
The following paragraphs report some directions for verifying, by reading the signal, the proper functioning of the
sensor or the correct reading of the input.
where:
FSmax = Maximum full scale value of the probe in relation to the maximum input signal allowed;
FSmin = Minimum full scale value of the probe in relation to the minimum signal in input allowed;
Smax = Maximum live value admitted by the input;
Example: Using a probe with a work field ranging from 0 bars to 45 bars with a signal from 0.5 V to 4.5 V, and
measuring between the terminal connector ―GND‖ and the 2.7Vdc connected input, the pressure read from the
control will be:

Example: By using a probe with a work field ranging from 0 to 30 bars with a signal from 4 to 20 mA, and measuring
between the ―GND‖ terminal connector and the 15.2 Vdc connected input, the pressure read by the control will have
to be:

5 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME FUNCTION
5.1 General
The main objective of the regulator is to keep the temperature of the water at the value of the set point set on the
unit in which it is installed; this is primarily obtained by managing the compressors.
In order to divide the refrigeration capacity of the unit, the control can manage up to four refrigeration circuits, each
composed of four compressors for a maximum of sixteen degrees of power.
The software provides the management of the compressors without the possibility of splitting.
Besides the compressors, the control manages other elements that compose the refrigeration groups, such as
pumps and ventilators, with relative functioning modes and alarms, and the ―accessory‖ functions such as:
condensation and/or evaporation control, the free cooling functions, operation with continuous variation of the set
point from an external signal etc... .
These functions are described in the following paragraphs.
It is necessary to resort to the construction of a local ―pLAN‖ network as described in the previous chapters, also for
the operation of the simplest unit.
Almost all of the parameters (setting, differentials, calibration, delays...), which will be referred to later, can be
modified within the various templates.
The chapter dedicated to the explanation of the templates features descriptions of all the parameters and their use
by the control.
In the description of the various functions, a minimum competence in the operation of the unity and the conscience
of the relative refrigeration and hydraulic circuits are taken for granted.
It is to be expected that all descriptions refer to refrigeration units correctly installed in accordance to the
specifications of the relative Blue Box documentation.
37
The way in which the control enables the compressors changes depending on where the reference water value is
read.
When the temperature of the water is read at the input of the unit, the control activates and deactivates the degrees
of power inside the differential. In this case, in difference to the functioning in chiller mode, it is placed ahead of the
set point.
When the read at the output of the unit, the control activates and deactivates the degrees of power, when the
temperature is outside of the dead zone, it is also placed ahead of the set point.
As reported in the preceding paragraph, the activation of the degrees of power and therefore the splitting of the unit
are described in the paragraphs of the chapter dedicated to the auxiliary functions.
5.2.7 Passing from chiller mode to heat pump and vice versa
The change of operation from chiller mode to heat pump and vice versa, aside from during the defrosting operations,
can occur at any moment, from an external signal with digital input and from keyboard or by serial means.
Changes during the defrosting operations are described in the relative paragraph.
In any case, before launching the selected operation unit again, the control disables the inputs of the compressors
and waits for the minimum delay set in the Service branch to pass.
Once this time has passed the unit is automatically started according to the load requirements.
The correct management of the changes from chiller mode to heat pump and vice versa is primarily indispensable
for the proper operation of the unit and, no less importantly, for the useless energy consumption caused by frequent
changes over time.
Normally the seasonal change occurs with a stopped unit, although as we have seen change with an operational unit
is also possible. In this case it is necessary to know the procedure followed by the control for the change of function
in order to understand what appears on the display.
At the moment the function is changed, the control changes the selected function on the display, keeping the set
point of the previous function and therefore begins switching off the compressors; it performs the procedure of
switching off the compressors.
When all the compressors are turned off, the function change delay begins in the same starting operation.
Having terminated the function change delay, therefore after the pressure has balanced, the control changes the
status of the input of the 4-way valves, changes the set point and begins switching on the compressors.

Black-out time
(min.)
Min. time
Max. time
Carter oil heating time (min.)
The figure shows the curve of the heating time variation depending on the ―black-out‖ time.
There can be the environmental conditions tied to the type of unit and the installation or which it is possible to reduce
the time necessary for the heating of the carter oil and therefore allow it to anticipate the activation of the unit.
The control reduces the time by detecting the air temperature.
Conditions can occur that call for the exceptional necessity to start the compressors without having to wait for the
complete heating of the oil.
To this end, the heating time can be reset in the Maintenance branch.
Resetting the heating time is pertinent solely to a start-up therefore; if there is a new power failure after resetting the
heating, the heating time is calculated by the control with the methods seen previously.
39
In each case the activation of the compressors, from the control takes place by observing their good operation, given
their continued verification of the states of safety and in respect of the times set.
By means of the digital and analog inputs, the control verifies the safety status of the compressors.
The main safety measures regard the high and low pressure values and the control of the temperature inside the
facilitating of the compressors.
The operation of the compressors depends also on the state of the safety measures, also in regards to the stopping
and functioning times.
When the launch of the unit is requested, the first compressor is launched with a delay in relation to the starting of
the pump.
This delay is respected, also if the management of the pump is not provided.
In any way, once the compressors are started, even water temperature cooling or heating request is satisfied, they
can not be stopped until the operation time has passed.
The respect of the minimum functioning is ignored only if a serious alarm intervenes.
The serious alarms that can stop the compressor during the minimum functioning time are the high pressure alarm
and the compressor heat alarm for the compressors, the pressure switch and the anti-freeze regarding the unit.
Once stopped, each compressor can be started again only after the minimum stopping time has passed and in any
way, after the minimum time between two consecutive start-ups (anti-recycle) has passed.
The consecutive activation of two compressors occurs with minimum delays equal to the ―delayed activation‖ time.
The consecutive deactivation of two compressors occurs with the same delay.
40
5.3.6 Compressor management
The activation of the compressor outputs is done from the control following the variation of the temperature of the
reference water in relation to the set point set.
The reference water temperature can be detected at the unit input or output. If the temperature of the reference
water is read at the output of the refrigeration unit, management of the compressors is described between the
accessory functions in the operation paragraph with the output water temperature.
All of the outputs of the compressors are managed by the control as degrees of power.
If only the (P) ―proportional‖ management is set, the various degrees of power are enabled within the functioning
differential in a manner proportional to the distancing of the temperature of the reference water from the value of the
set point imposed.
In the case the (P + I) ―proportional plus integration time‖ functioning is provided, the control, in addition to the
degrees requested by the only proportional operation, forces the activation of further degrees of power.
The forcing occurs upon reaching the ―I‖ time set; the time is increased if the temperature of the water draws near
the set point, and is reduced if the temperature of the water moves away from it.
The activation of the compressors occurs alternatively with the ―FPM‖ operation logic, one per refrigeration circuit
featured.
With the ―CPM‖ operation logic the activation of the compressors occurs when the all the compressors of a same
circuit are turned on, before passing to the next.
Upon the reduction of the load requirement, i.e. that as the temperature of the reference water drawing near the set
point set, it reduces the number of degrees of power activated by the control.
The deactivation of the degrees of power by the control occurs in inversely in relation to the activation and therefore,
upon the reduction of the load there is a deactivation of the compressors, one per circuit if it is provided the ―FPM‖
logic or the deactivation of all the compressors of a same circuit before deactivating those of the next, if the ―CPM‖
logic is provided.
Balancing the operation hours on all the compressors that compose the unit occurs by selecting the rotation of the
operation request.
With the rotation of the functioning request activated, the compressor that is launched first, will be the first to be
stopped; among all the compressors that are not in operation, the control will activate the one which has been
stopped for longest.

Condensation temperature
The condensation control can be activated both in the chiller unit only and in the heating pump unit. It is active in the
heating pump units only while the chiller is in operation.
The condensation control is ignored in the heat pump operation, and therefore the ventilators are forced to the
maximum.
The management of the ventilators during the defrosting phase is reported in the paragraph regarding defrosting
management.
The condensation pressure control can be set in the heating pump unit, independently of the presence or lack of
evaporation control.
The same analog output with the appropriate setting for the regulation parameters can be used for the condensation
control, by means of a valve, in the units with a water condenser. In this case, if there are multiple cooling circuits in
the unit, the relative outputs must be connected parallely.
42
The division must be type 2/5 and 3/5, while the binary management by the control will lead to an increase in
condensation pressure, to the progressive activation of 2/5, therefore of 3/5, finally both divisions making it function
at 5/5.
The activation occurs for each single cooling circuit by means of digital outputs with reference to the pressure values
read by the transducers.
The passage from one fraction of the condenser battery to the other takes place by means of two set points.
When the pressure exceeds the first set point the control passes from functioning at 2/5 to 3/5.
At the moment of passing from 2/5 to 3/5, for a settable time, both digital outputs remain powered.
When the pressure exceeds the second set point, the control passes from functioning at 3/5 to 5/5.
At each increase in the active battery division (from 2/5 to 3/5 and from 3/5 to 5/5), it has a sudden reduction in the
inlet pressure, therefore there is an ―exchange time‖ delay to each increase in the battery division used that avoids
the previous return.
Once the exchange time has passed, at any time the pressure drops below each set reduced by the differential
relative, the control reduces the fraction of the battery in operation.
The values for managing this function can be selected in the ―Service‖ branch and some are limited.
The set point values for changing the active battery division can be set between ―16.0‖ and the limited value set for
high pressure ―HP‖ safety reduced by 1bar, the differential values are downwards at ―3.0‖ while there is no upward
limit, the exchange time between ―0‖ and ―20‖.
For the proper function of the units, it is a good idea to avoid modifying the values set without consent of the Blue
Box technical office.
This condensation control is indispensable, when the value of the air temperature can be used for operation in free
cooling while, for greater temperatures, at the launching of the compressors, the splitting procedures of the
condenser battery, it is useless.
For this reason, an air temperature can be set above which, at the launch of the compressors, the condenser battery
is activated at 100%.
For requirements necessary for the time necessary for communication between the Master card and the addition,
the control predisposes the powering of a fraction of the condensing battery, before launching the respective
compressor.
The advance powering of a fraction of the battery is used to avoid starting the compressor, the intervention of the
high pressure protections.

The evaporation control only features in the units provided for the heat pump function.
The same analog output with the appropriate setting of the regulation parameters can be used for the evaporation
control, by means of a valve, in the heat pump units with water source. In this case, if there are multiple refrigeration
circuits in the unit, the relative outputs must be connected in parallel.
5.3.11 Defrosting
Defrosting is the procedure with which, during the functioning in heat pump of an air/water unit, the accumulation of
frost on the condenser/evaporator battery is foresee and/or any formation is eliminated.
An efficient defrosting procedure ends with a completely clean condenser/evaporator battery.
The control manages the defrosting in a different way, according to the settings made on the control and the
conditions of the air temperature.
The defrosting can occur by only taking advantage of the temperature of the air with the inversion of the refrigeration
circuit function.
The condition for launching the defrosting can be chosen in the constructor branch between the low pressure signal
or between the temperature of the ambient air and the intake gas.
In the first case, it entails a comparison between a set value and a value read by the control on the low pressure of
the functioning circuits. Secondly, the control performs a calculation with the parameters set and compares the result
with the values measured to assess the effectiveness of battery exchange.
The efficiency reduces with the presence of frost and/or ice that limit the exchange.
The values to set for calculating the battery efficiency are the difference that should be measured between the
temperature of the air and the temperature of the intake gas when the air temperature is ―0°C‖ and a correction
coefficient that takes account of its variation.
The actual defrosting of the condenser/evaporator battery is a part of the ―defrosting cycle‖ that takes place by
adhering to a precise procedure.
In order for the defrosting cycle to begin, the condition that requires it must continue for a minimum period.
In the units comprising multiple circuits, the defrosting can occur for all of them simultaneously or for every single
circuit separately.
The first defrosting will in any case be related to a minimum functioning time of the same unit, in order to allow the
formation of a minimum heat flywheel to guarantee the complete execution.
Independently of the condition that requires defrosting, if the ambient air temperature is higher than a set limit value,
the control activates the air defrosting.
The air defrosting occurs by stopping the active compressors one by one and leaving the ventilators on, and it ends
when the maximum time is reached.
When the defrosting ends by reaching the maximum temperature, in the defrosting operations ad aria, it is not
detected by the control as irregular functioning, as occurs in defrosting operations with cycle inversion.
Defrosting with cycle inversion occurs as the unit passes from heat pump function to chiller function and by
deactivating the ventilator outputs.
Before beginning the defrosting, in the case of the separate defrosting of the refrigeration circuits, operation at 100%
of the potentiality of the circuit in question is required, or in the case that the simultaneous defrosting of all the
refrigeration unit is provided, all the unit component compressors that are not stopped due to breakdown or forcing
excluded from operation will be activated at 100%.
44
In the case of separate defrosting of the refrigeration circuits, the beginning of the defrosting of the diverse circuits
occurs by respecting the relative interval set.
With the inversion of the function from heat pump to chiller, the ventilators of the circuits in question are stopped.
Until the temperature of the battery is less than the temperature for defrosting, the control manages the inlet
refrigeration pressure by maintaining its temperature at less than that of fine defrosting.
The value of the inlet pressure is controlled by making the ventilators turn the opposite direction, thus prolonging the
duration of the defrosting until the battery is completely free of frost and/or ice.
The inverse ventilation, in addition to controlling the inlet pressure, pushes the water that is formed on the battery
outwards.
Turning the opposite direction, the ventilators lower the inlet temperature, until the inverse ventilation activation
temperature is reached, less the relative differential. Upon reaching this value, the control stops the ventilators again.
The cycle is repeated until the temperature of the battery reaches the defrosting value and as the probe that detects
the value is in a less favourable position, when the condition is reached, the battery is considered completely clean.
The end of defrosting temperature of the battery can be selected, while its differential is fixed at 1°C and acts for
lower temperature values.
When the end of defrosting temperature is reached, the control inhibits the inverse ventilation, thus allowing the inlet
pressure to reach the end of defrosting temperature.
When the end of defrosting value is reached, the control activates the ventilators to lower the inlet pressure before
again inverting the function from chiller mode to heat pump.
At this point the defrosting is concluded and the control manages the compressors according to the system
requirements.
Any irregular functions that may be verified during the various phases described are also managed from the control.
In the case in which the temperature of the inlet gas is greater than the value di fine defrosting at the first cycle
inversion, the control forces the defrosting for the minimum time set.
If the temperature of the inlet gas reaches the value of defrosting, regardless of the contrary rotation of the
ventilators, or if the temperature detected on the battery has not reached the value predicted at the end of the
defrosting, the control interrupts it, concluding it normally by disabling the output of the contrary ventilation and
activating that normal ventilation after several seconds.
Moreover, if the defrosting lasts for an excessive amount of time, more than the maximum, the control concludes it
independently from its reaching all of the conditions necessary for the normal conclusion.
With alarm templates, the control records and displays the defrosting operations that are terminated with reaching
the maximum time without interrupting the operation of either the unit or the compressors.
The defrosting alarm for the maximum time automatically disappears from the active alarm templates, when a
defrosting ends normally on the refrigerating inlet gas reaching the temperature of fine defrosting.
That which is described refers to a refrigeration circuit for independent defrosting.
In the case of simultaneous defrosting, when a circuit reaches the temperature value of the inlet gas for activating
the inverse ventilation, the control activates the relative output for all the circuits present. As when the temperature of
the end of inlet defrosting refrigeration is reached, the control stops it for all.
The control features an analog input for the detecting the temperature of the battery and a digital output for the
inverse ventilation for each refrigeration circuit in the unit.
During functioning in heat pump, a defrosting may be forced by means of the command available in the ―Service‖
branch.
Most of the parameters that manage the defrosting operations can be set in the ―Service‖ branch.

system requirements.

Free cooling can be obtained through different solutions. The control provides the possibility of managing the free
cooling with a water battery before the condenser batteries. In this case the unit ventilators are used for functioning
both of the batteries.
Another solution is with the water battery installed separately from the condenser batteries and, therefore, each
battery is equipped with its own ventilators. This type of free cooling is defined as ―external‖.
Finally, to limit the quantity of glycol in the system, between the external free cooling and the circuit of use, there can
be an intermediary water/water exchange. In the control this management provides an exchange called "decoupling‖,
thanks to its management.
The activation of the free cooling brings with it the function of the outputs dedicated to the control of the ventilators
as degrees of refrigerating power.
46
In the case of the simultaneous functioning of the free cooling and the compressors, the ventilators managed as
degrees of refrigeration power are activated before the compressors and deactivated afterwards.
With control of the temperature of the input water to the evaporator, when the free cooling function is active, the
functioning differential is divided in half, the degrees of power given from the ventilators are in the first half, and the
degrees of power provided by the compressors are in the second half.
The condensation pressure control is required when the free cooling function active.
With the free cooling battery installed before the condenser batteries, control of the condensation pressure takes
place with the splitting into steps of the condenser batteries.
In the other cases, the condensation control takes place using the signal of the relative analog output.
The function of the condensation control is described in the relative paragraphs.
Besides managing the ventilators as degrees of power, there is a valve in the free cooling that diverts the passage of
the water in the battery when the function is active.
The control provides the possibility of managing both an on/off valve and a modulator.
With the presence of the decoupling exchanger, the digital output that normally manages the valve is used to
manage a circulation water pump between the exchange and the battery.
In addition to the pump, with the decoupling exchanger an input for a pressure switch to insert in the same hydraulic
circuit is also managed.
The free cooling valve, whether controlled from the digital output or the analog or the circulation water pump on the
battery/exchanger circuit when the decoupling exchanger is present, is disabled when the value of the temperature
of the reference water is less than the function setting of the unit reduced by the disabling differential.
If the analog output controls the free cooling valve, its opening inside the differential will vary from 0 to 110%
between the disablement temperature value and that of the functioning set point.

Another control function connected to the free cooling management is the stopping of the compressors, when the
temperature of the external air is especially low.
The principle with which this limit is set regards the value of the air temperature, to which the yield of free cooling is
equal to that of the compressors.
In particular cases, such as launching the unit with particularly low air temperature, this adjustment avoids starting
the compressors for a several minutes to not effect, when only the operation of the free cooling can satisfy the
requirement of the load.
The free cooling function can be limited for air temperatures higher than normal running values when the conditions
can influence the correct functioning of the compressors.
The control provides the possibility of setting the higher functioning limit of the free cooling regarding the air
temperature.
If the air temperature exceeds the higher free cooling limit, even with the conditions present, the control does not
activate it.
In the case in which the external free cooling to the unit is provided, whether the intermediary exchanger is present
or not, in addition to the operation as degrees of power the ventilators can be commanded with continuous
modulation.
The signal for the modulation is in 0/10 volt power and the value will vary from the minimum set to the maximum
within the regulation differential provided for the ventilators during the free cooling operation that corresponds to half
the total differential.
Starting the ventilators does not occur at the minimum speed but at the speed that corresponds to the launch
differential.
Y5 is the analog output provided for this management in the units with a single master card, while in the units that
also feature the slave card, a second analog output can be selected which will be the Y5 of the slave card.
47
Even if there are 2 analog outputs, the value of the signal that commands the ventilators will be the same meaning
all the ventilators will turn at the same speed.
On the next page the variation of speed of the free cooling ventilators with control of the input water is represented
graphically.

Even with the water control in output, the control can manage the continuous variation of the free cooling ventilator
speed.
In reality the variation of the continuous speed is transformed into many small degrees of which the voltage
amplitude of each is defined.
The control divides the useful signal for the regulation, provided by the difference between the maximum and the
minimum value, for the amplitude of the steps.
In this way the control defines the number of degrees available for regulating the free cooling ventilators.
When the conditions are present and the free cooling is activated by the control, the degrees of free cooling
ventilators are the first to be activated and the last to be deactivated in relation to the compressors.

recovery water temperature
With the enablement of the recovery digital output, and therefore with the active recovery, if the temperature of the
water entering the recovery system is less than the set point reduced by the differential, the control disables the unit
ventilator outputs and enables the output for the recovery.
On the control, besides the digital output for the activation of the recovery, there is an analog output for managing
the condensation pressure, by means of regulating the water flow rate on the recovery circuit.
The analog output can therefore be used to command a three-way valve, in order to keep the input water
temperature of the recovery exchanger high enough.
The control manages the valve within the relative differential, which is placed before the recovery differential.
The management of the valve regards the total by-pass of the water of the recovery circuit on the exchanger, when
the temperature of the water is less than the set point reduced by the sum of the two differentials and, the total
sending to the use, when the temperature is higher than the values of the set point reduced by the recovery
differential.
Within its own differential the valve regulates the water flow rate in proportion to the value of the recovery
temperature detected.
a minimum value of opening of the analog output can be set in the control in the case in which one wishes to have a
minimum quantity of water passing in the system at all times, with the active recovery.
For each refrigeration circuit there is a digital output for activating a solenoid valve for the unloading of the cooler
from the condenser battery, when the latter is not used.
For this function, the intake pressure value can be set on the control. The output will be activated under this value
and the battery can therefore be emptied and the value of the differential, added to the opening value, will lead to its
closure.
If the condensation pressure of any of the circuits exceeds the ―hp2‖ pressure value during the heat recovery, the
recovery for that circuit will be disabled and the control will signal the alarm.
The end of recovery alarm for having reached the condensation pressure limits can be selected at manual or
automatic reset.
Normally the reset is manual, in which case it can be cancelled only when the pressure drops below the intervention
value, less the relative differential.
By setting the alarm with automatic reset in the manufacturer branch, the control will inhibit recovery at the time of
the intervention and, will re-enable it automatically, when the pressure drops, without displaying the alarm template.
In the units composed of several refrigeration units, the total heat recovery can occur for the entire unit or for certain
circuits only.
In this case there will be a partial recovery.
The circuits that can do it are defined in the units with partial recovery.
In the units composed of two refrigeration circuits, as well as in the entire unit, recovery can occur in a single circuit
also. In this case it will be circuit ―1‖.
During recovery on the single circuit ―1‖, the control inhibits rotation upon activation of the compressors and,
therefore, the compressors of circuit ―1‖ will be the first to be launched and the last to be stopped.
In the units composed of three refrigerators, in addition to whole unit, the recovery can also take place for a single
circuit. In this case it will be on circuit ―3‖.
During recovery with the single circuit ―3", the control inhibits rotation upon activation of the compressors and,
therefore, the compressors of circuit ―3‖ will be the first to be started and the last to be stopped.
Finally, in the units composed of four refrigeration circuits, as well as in the entire unit, recovery can take place for
one or more circuits. In this case it will be on circuit ―4‖ for one and on circuits ―3‖ and ―4‖ for two.
49
Also in these cases, during recovery, the control inhibits rotation upon the activation of the compressors and,
therefore, the first to be started and the last to be stopped will be the compressors of circuits ―4‖ and ―3‖.
5.4.4 Desuperheater
The presence of the desuperheater does not bring about any change in the functioning of the unit.
Essentially, the exchange of heat on the condenser is not inhibited with the halting of the ventilators while recovery
on the desuperheater takes place.
Moreover, the desuperheater, like the total heat recovery system can be installed on the whole unit or on certain
circuits.
The refrigeration circuits in which the desuperheater can be installed when it is not present on all are the same as
the total recovery system.
In particular, when not featured on all the refrigeration circuits, the activation of the recovery system must take place
by closing the appropriate digital input so that the control can halt the rotation when the refrigeration circuits start.
Thus, the control activates the compressors of the circuit or circuits equipped with desuperheaters first of all.
50
The control activates a power step, respecting the delay in activation, when the temperature of the water is greater
than the sum between the set point and the differential of the dead zone.
The delay with which the control activates the device depends on the temperature of the reference water measured;
In relation to the increase in temperature of the reference water, it reduces the delay in activation.
The control verifies the temperature of the reference water after the start-up of a device, if the value falls within the
dead zone does a new start-up does not occur. If it remains outside this zone, the control activates a subsequent
step by adhering to the corresponding delay.
The cycle is repeated, if the load requires, until the unit is operating at full load.
Apart from the moment in which the unit is started, where the value of the reference water temperature can be
considerably greater than the set point, normally the control manages the steps of the unit by means of slight
variations in power.
The activation of a step generally reports the temperature of the water inside the dead zone.
The reduction of the requirement of power by the load ensures that the temperature value dropping below the set
point, exits the dead zone.
In the same way the control activated the power steps, when the temperature drops below the set point, the control
deactivates them; naturally the delays and the differential used for the deactivation are different to the activation
delays and differential.
In each case, if the temperature of the water exiting the circuit reaches the set anti-freeze safety value, the relative
compressor is deactivated immediately or, if the reference temperature the switching-off limit of the compressors, all
the compressors will be switched off without delay.

The control in output presents a series of parameters in which values to set are not yet instituted in the daily use and
in any case could be different depending on the characteristics of the system.
Having in any ay to set the values to allow the functioning of the units and, with the comfort of experience acquired,
they are individualised for most of them of the values that guarantee in for the greater part of the cases a good
functioning.
The parameters individualised are saved in the default values.
The switch on and switch off times, with the relative differentials, are those that increase or reduce the response of
the unit to the request of the load.
The control entails the possibility of setting different values for the functioning in cooling from that in heating.
Attention must be paid to respecting that the minimum value in cooling function, resulting with the differential of
summer switch-off is always greater than the switch-off limit of the compressors and, that the maximum value in the
functioning in heating, resulting with the differential of winter switch-off is always less than the maximum switch-off
temperature.
The value of the dead zone must be greater by at least a couple of tenths of degrees centigrade f the difference in
temperature that the largest step of the unit (normally a compressor) causes on the difference of the temperature of
the water in output following its activation.
All the values that regard this function can be modified in the branch of the Service templates as, in case of
necessity they the support centres can intervene.
It is useful, if not indispensable, that any variations are agreed with the Blue Box technical office in order to be able
to identify the calibration values that most satisfy the necessities of the various installations.

53
In reality the software provides stopping all the compressors except the first of each circuit.
To activate this function it is necessary that the ―AFC‖ parameter of the SERV_36 template is activated by setting it
at ―Yes‖.
The control disables the functioning with the differential at low charge when the compressor operational time is
greater than the minimum operational time during low charge.
the values for managing the function can be set in the Service branch.
The settings regarding the management of the alarm levels can be set in the Maintenance branch.
55
With the activation of an alarm, the control enables an ―SMS‖ message to be sent.
In order for the alarm messages to be sent via "SMS", it is necessary to install the RS232 serial card for modems
3
(see the description of the hardware parts of the pCO system to identify the necessary card), a ―GSM‖ modem
complete with ―SIM‖, to set in the Service branch, the ―modem GSM‖ protocol and the communication speed at
―9600‖ bps.
When all of the operations are performed correctly, a template appears in the ―Maintenance‖ branch that describes
the status of the modem and the presence of field or not.
The template is in Italian when the Italian language is set, otherwise it is in English.
Also in the same ―Maintenance‖ branch but, password protected, are templates for setting the number to the
message is to be sent, the sending methods, and the possibility of inserting a description, to a maximum of 16
characters, that identifies the system.
Cancel the next four lines in the previous version of the manual.
The verification does not occur instantly but entails with a delay from the last activation or deactivation of a
compressor.
The delay time can be set.
In the case the value obtained by the correct measurement from the coefficient is less than that calculated, once the
set delay is passed, the control will be able to activate a signal.
The signalling, which does not bring about any action on the functioning of the unit, must be activated in the
Maintenance branch.

The parameters to set are therefore a ―T1‖ temperature value to which the value "0" of the differential of
compensation will correspond and "T2" to which the value of the differential of compensation and naturally the
differential of compensation will correspond.
For any other value, including between ―T1‖ and ―T2‖, that the differential of compensation will be comprised
proportionally between "0" and the maximum value.
That described refers to the functioning in cooling.
In regards to the heating, there are always the values ―T1‖ and ―T2‖ and the compensation differential to set. The
setting variation, however, takes place differently to the heating function. At the ―T2‖ temperature the function setting
will correspond to the set value, and the ―T1‖ temperature will be equal to the set value reduced by the compensation
differential.
For intermediary temperature values, the set will reduce proportionally from zero to the maximum value.
In setting of the heating pump unit operation parameters, the different type of compensation can be selected
between cooling and heating.
Also in the heating pump units, as the selection is unique for both functions, if one of the two is not desired, it is
enough to appropriately set the relative parameters.
The temperature compensation must not be enabled with the continuous variation of the set point by analog signal.
57
To this end, in the units equipped with three pumps, when the temperature of the water is higher than the maximum
summer limit the unit with only two pumps starts automatically.
In this way, by reducing the water flow rate the evaporation pressure is also reduced and, consequently, the inlet
pressure avoiding the intervention of protective measures.
It is, however, the function for which upon reaching the hp 1 value, when all the compressors of the refrigeration
circuit are in operation, the control stops one or, if one is not in operation, it prevents the start-up.
The functioning at full capacity and therefore starting the third pump automatically occurs when the temperature of
the reference water is lowered by 3°C in relation to the intervention limit.
58
Essentially, the purpose of using the condensation control is to considerably reduce the ventilator speed when the
temperature of the air drops below fifteen degrees, which means that it is limited to the units that operate to condition
for very limited periods.
There can be installations for which, during particular times of the day, the reduction in the unit noise can take on a
greater importance of the optimal function of the compressors.
The software provides the possibility to activate a second set of values, the control of the ventilator speed that can
be used to considerably reduce the noise of the unit.
With the presence of the second set of values for controlling the ventilator speed, the activation occurs automatically
for predefined time brackets and days of the week.
There is a possibility of having two time brackets for operation with the normal set of parameters and the remaining
part of the day with the second set of parameters.
Therefore, a reduction in noise can be used, during the nocturnal hours and throughout the day, for example in the
afternoon.
2nd set
1st set
If the use of the time bracket is not necessary during the daytime, it is sufficient to set the start time of the next first
set of parameters a minute after the start of the second.
The second set of parameters for controlling the ventilator speed is provided during the cold water production by the
refrigeration unit.
The second set of parameters can also be activated in the heat pump units, but only during the cold water
production.
Setting the values of the second set of parameters is done in the service branch.
The start time of the two different sets of parameters in the day and the days of the week that it must be active for is
made in the time branch.

7 TEMPLATES
95
7.2.1 Service Templates
In the Service branch you can set all the operating parameters of the unit.
To access the "Service" branch, press the "prg" key and then scroll through the template options using the arrow
keys until on the centre of the display will appear the double sized message "Service". Confirm with "enter".
From this template, after having entered the correct password ―00200‖ using the "up/down arrow keys" and
confirmed it with the "enter", you may access the other templates of the branch.
Once you have accessed the branch, you can scroll through the templates using the "up/down arrow keys".
If you remain for an interval of five minutes within the branch without pressing any key, the display returns to the first
template of the menu branch.
The values shown in the templates of this manual are only indicative. The correct values depend on the actual
design of the unit to be controlled.
n this form is entered the differential of operation, which is the same both for chiller and heat pump mode, and the
minimum and maximum limits within which the set point for chiller mode can be set. If the outlet control operation
mode is enabled, the first line will be empty.
This template contains the maximum and minimum thresholds which the unit can reach when operating in cooling or
heating mode.
Operation beyond these limits causes the unit stoppage and the relative template alarm trip.
The control of alarms is different. Stopping and signalling due to maximum limit in cooling mode and minimum limit
in heating mode are delayed to enable the plant regular operation.
Stopping and signalling due to minimum limit in cooling mode and maximum limit in heating mode occur immediately
after reaching the limits.
This template is displayed only for water/water units in heat pump mode, where to change the minimum operating
limit of the source heat exchanger.
In this template you can set the differential values to cancel the alarms caused by exceeded temperature threshold
and also the tripping time of the delay alarms.
On the last line you can set the time at which, at any alarm trip, the acoustic signalling will be enabled in the
terminals.
96
SERV_6_1 SERV_6_1 SERV_6_1
This template contains the minimum threshold values of the ingoing water temperature and the maximum values of
the outgoing water temperature, which apply for the water/water units operating in heat pump mode during winter.
The template presence is related to the enablement of the winter operation mode for the water-cooled units.
In this template are entered the signal delays of the alarm caused by the lack of water flow during pump start-up and
operation and the delay for pump shutdown after the last compressor is turned off via keyboard or serial card or
when the set point is reached.
In this template you can choose the compressor start-up type and, therefore, the capacity reduction of FPM and
CPM cooling circuits; you can also set the delay for controlling the "ID3" digital input status and the correct phase
sequence or the time period after which is possible to restart the unit when the voltage is controlled through ID3
digital input.
The operating times of the compressors that can be set into this template are related to the minimum stop time, the
delay between two consecutive start-ups, the minimum operating time of one compressor and the delay between the
successive enablement of the two compressors.
The next disablement occurs at a fixed not accessible time of 5 seconds.
In this template you can set the minimum delay between the start of the pump/pumps and the first compressor at
unit start-up, between the arrest of the last compressor and pump/pumps at unit shutdown, using the keyboard or via
serial card, and the delay of pump shutdown after the arrest of the compressors when the unit is turned off via digital
input.
In this template you must set the pressure thresholds controlled and their differential values:
HP1 is the high pressure limit reached at which the control will reduce the operation of the relative cooling circuit by
shutting down one compressor; the limit is the same both for cooling and heat pump operation mode.
HP2 is the high pressure limit reached at which the control disables the recovery and starts the fans for
condensation.
97
LP1 is the low pressure limit reached during the cooling mode operation at which the control reduces the operation
of the relative cooling circuit by shutting down one compressor; the shutdown of all compressors occurs at the set
value minus 0.3 bar, regardless of the refrigerant in the unit.
LP2 corresponds to the low pressure limit for the heat pump operation mode.
In the first line you must set the minimum value of the pressure difference between delivery and suction line when
the circuit is running.
In the second line you must set the theoretical value of the temperature difference between water inlet and outlet
under nominal full load conditions.
The third line contains the delay with which the control checks the temperature difference between inlet and outlet
after each variation of the number of compressors running.
In the fourth line you must set the tolerance level of the temperature difference detected between unit inlet and
outlet according to the number of compressors running.
The correct value of the water temperature difference between inlet and outlet can only be checked by controlling
the inlet temperature and enabling the operation of the "Maintenance" branch.
In this template you must set the delay at which the low pressure alarm will be enabled when the first compressor of
each cooling circuit will start, during operation and defrosting.
In this template you can enable the turns of compressors' operation. If there are two 2 pumps provided, the lines for
enabling their turns will be displayed. If their turns are enabled, the time for operation turns will be set together with
the time at which the pumps will operate simultaneously at turning moment.
In this template you can set the parameters for the digital output enablement which controls the fans and those of
the analog output which controls the condensation.
The parameters are expressed in temperature and correspond to the dew point of the relative gas pressure.
In this template you must set the values for controlling the evaporation during the heat pump operation mode.
Currently, the digital output switches on automatically at the start-up of the first compressor of the relative cooling
circuit.

In this template you can input the second set of values for controlling the fan speed during plant hot water
production.
This template and the next four templates are present only in the heat pump units.
In this template you must set the delay between two consecutive defrost cycles for the same circuit should the
defrost occur simultaneously for the entire unit or for a single circuit, the delay between the defrost cycles of two
different circuits if the defrost has been provided for separate circuits and the time at which all compressors must
operate prior to defrost cycle start.
In the first line of this template you must set the condition for enabling the defrost request.
According to the manufacturer branch setting, the condition may be a temperature value obtained by converting the
suction pressure, as shown for example in the template or, coefficients for the calculation of the difference between
the gas and the ambient air temperature.
Regardless of the condition that enables the defrost request, in the following lines you must set the time during which
the request must be hold to allow the cycle to start, the minimum time that must elapse from unit start-up to allow a
sufficient accumulation of heat in order to make an effective defrost, and the temperature corresponding to the
conversion of gas delivery pressure at which defrost must finish.
In this template you must set the value of the air temperature above which the defrost does not occur when
reversing the cooling cycle but when compressors stop and the air simply passes through the evaporation coil, the
maximum time of a defrost cycle occurring both when reversing the cooling and air cycle, the defrost stopping
temperature, obtained by converting the pressure and temperature on the coil during defrosting above the value at
which the control will disable the reverse ventilation allowing the delivery pressure to be increased for complete
defrosting.
You can switch from summer to winter mode and vice versa via digital input and also set the time that must elapse
from the moment the switch was requested to compressors' restart. The template is related to the heat pump mode
enablement.
In this template you can set two values for the external air temperature.
The value from the first line refers to the operating limit while the one in the second line refers to the value for
integrating the unit heating into other sources.
With the dual set point function, the following template will be displayed for setting the switch mode for the operation
set point (from keyboard or digital input) and the reference water temperature that enables the output for any
thermostatic expansion valve exchange.
When the outgoing water temperature control is enabled, the following template will be displayed for setting the dead
zone and the differential pressures for chiller mode switch on/off.
In this template you must set the minimum and maximum times required for the control to enable or disable the
power steps after you have set the parameters for the previous template output control. The values only refer to the
chiller mode operation.
Like in the case of chiller only units, you can set the output control parameters for heat pump units. The parameters
for heat pump operating mode may be different from those set for the chiller mode.
100
Like previous template parameters, the increase/decrease times for the power steps may be different during the
heat pump mode with respect to the chiller mode.
Obviously, these last three templates are present only on the heat pumps.
In this template you must set the reference water temperature, which in this case is the output water, below which
the control switches off the operating compressors without waiting for the shutdown times to elapse, to avoid
reaching the safety antifreeze value.
In this template, which is present only when using the variable set point from the analog input, you must set the
upper and lower limits within which the set point will vary according to the signal and the signal type used for its
variation.
However, the fields containing the lower and upper values must be within the set point limits set in the ―SERV_03‖
template.
In this template, which is present when, in addition to the variable set point displayed in the previous template, the
unit is in heat pump mode, you must set the upper and lower limits within which the set point will vary according to
the signal variation and the type of signal during winter operation.
Like for the previous template, the fields containing the lower and upper values must, however, be within the winter
set point limits set in the ―SERV_03‖ template.
The type of signal is the one selected in the previous template.
In this template, which is related to the unit heat recovery, you must set the differential of the recovery enablement
set point, the differential of any recovery valve is represented by the percentage of its minimum opening.
With the heat recovery in the second line of this template, you can set the low pressure and its differential value
below which it will be opened a solenoid valve for discharging the refrigerant from the condensing coil.
The parameters of the third line refer to the same purpose during the heat pump operation; because this option is
not available, the parameters cannot be used.
The units with compensation of the operation set point with respect to the external air value are provided with this
template in which you must set the limits of the temperature for the compensation of the set point differential.

Diff.le Comp.ne 05°C Compens.Diff. 05°C Kompens.Diff. 05°C
In the heat pump units, when compensation is provided, in addition to the previous template for entering the
parameters related to the cooling mode, this template is also present for setting the heating mode parameters.
If the compensation is not required for one of the two operation modes, it is enough to set the same value for both
―T1‖ and ―T2‖ parameters.
In this template, which is present for the low charge control, you must set the operation time for detecting the
operation low charge and differential under low charge condition.
This template and the following two are related to the unit free cooling mode.
The values that must be set in this template are the temperature difference between return water from the plant and
the external air that enables the free cooling mode, the differential below the operation set point for enabling the free
cooling mode and the air temperature below which the control prevents the compressors from functioning.
This template is present only when the external free cooling and at least one analog output for the speed continuous
control are provided.
In the fields of this template you must set the minimum and maximum values of the signal, within which the
regulation must be enabled and the start-up value.
In the free cooling units, which have the water-cooled coil installed in front of the condensing coil, it is necessary to
control the condensation by reducing the condensing coil capacity.
In this template you can set two values for the pressure and their differentials, at which the capacity steps are
switched from one to another.
In the last line you must set the delay with which, after increasing the fraction of the operating coil, the control will
ignore the pressure value read.
In this template you must set other two parameters for controlling the condensation when the condensing coil is
split. The parameters consist of the time during which, when switching from the first capacity step to the second,

In this template you must set the presence or absence of the buffer coil and the ratio between the valve and cooling
circuit power, under nominal operating conditions.
The value set allows the valve quick pre-positioning at the cooling circuit start-up, then the regulation is carried out
with the parameters set in the following templates.
If you have any doubts regarding the value of the ratio to be set, we recommend that you enter a smaller value rather
than a bigger one.
By setting a smaller value you prevent the valve from opening too much at start-up, which may lead to low refrigerant
level, overheating and possible fluid return.
In these templates you must set the low pressure operating limits under different operating conditions, expressed in
the temperature of the relative refrigerant.
In the first template of this series, you must set the integration time common to all operating conditions, on the
following control, to bring the value read above the threshold.
Greater values of the integration time result in slower reaction.
Like the low pressure limit of the previous group of templates, in these templates you must set the high pressure
limits under different operating conditions, expressed in the temperature of the relative refrigerant.
The integration time necessary for respecting the set value and the alarm signalling delay is the same for all the
operating conditions.

In this template you must enter the threshold value read by the temperature probe for which the control enables the
alarm.
In this template you must set the overheating value, which the control must keep under different operating
conditions, and their parameters.
The regulation range and the derivative time set in the cooling mode operation (CH) are also common to the heating
mode (HP) and the heat pumps' defrost (DF).
The range, which is set on the set point, defines the heating interval for which the control does not intervene.
The value may also be set to zero.
The proportional gain is the number of steps with which the control opens or closes the valve to change the
overheating with one degree; Greater values result in faster opening; the size of the value must be considered with
the total number of steps of the controlled valve.
The integral time is the delay with which the control corrects the value read; Higher values of integral time result in
slower actions.
The derivative time counteracts the sudden variations of the read value. Greater values of the derivative time result
in more energetic regulations.
In short, during the general operation within the range, the control is not involved in the regulation if the value read is
1 degree Celsius higher than the set point; the control intervenes mainly with the adjustment given by the
proportional gain; for variations below 1 degree Celsius, the parameters with which the control intervenes are the
integral and the derivative time.
In this template you must set the low overheating limit and the relative integration time.
