This screen displays the setback function, which can be either activated or deactivated by using the control panel or BMS. This function consists of an automatic start-up of the standby unit if the unit exceeds the following programmable limits for at least 30 seconds: Minimum temperature Maximum temperature Minimum relative humidity (only with optional humidity sensor) Maximum relative humidity (only with optional humidity sensor) The setback function intervenes to control the room conditionsalthough with larger tolerances even if the whole system is in stand-by. Its intervention is independent and not influenced by signals from remote systems. The intervention of the setback function is not considered an alarm situation. Fan Cyclical Start: If set to Y, the fan runs in cycles, defined by the cycle time, to allow air from the room to be drawn across the sensor. When in setback mode, in the STATUS screen the symbol is displayed. Normal operating conditions are reset automatically when the temperature values return to values set for [temp. min. + 2C] + 3.6F and for [max. temp. - 2C] - 3.6F. A minimum of 15 minutes must pass before the unit exits the setback mode. This enables stable conditions to be reached and avoids continuous switching on and off of the fans. When normal conditions return, the on the previous status. icon is displayed, alternating with other icons depending

Updating the Program


The following systems can be used to update and acquire the firmware and the logs on the pCO controllers: Winload SmartKey programming button

Winload
On all pCO system controllers the firmware can be updated using a PC. For this purpose, Schneider Electric SAS provides the WinLoad32.exe program and a serial converter with USB-RS485 output to connect to the pCO via the telephone connector. The special driver, supplied by Schneider Electric SAS, must be installed on the PC. The WinLoad32.exe program is installed together with the pCO Manager program. The installation includes, in addition to WinLoad32.exe, the user manual and the driver for the USB-RS485 converter.

SmartKey
The SmartKey programming button can also be used to update the controller firmware, with the sole exception of the Boot, which is not loaded by the SmartKey. In addition, the key can clone the contents of a pCO and then copy these to another pCO that is identical to the first, via the telephone connector on the terminals (the pLAN must be disconnected). The key can also copy the data logged by a series of pCO devices to a PC. On the PC, using the SmartKey Programmer, the key can be configured to run certain operations, such as acquire logs, program applications, and program the BIOS. The following are some images showing examples of downloading the program to the pCO control board:

Inside the kit is a CD and a manual with step-by-step explanations of how to best use these accessories. The program files will be sent by e-mail or CD, indicating the name of the application.

Alarms
Active alarms
By pressing the ALARM button, the alarm will be silenced and a description of the alarm will be displayed. If the cause of the alarm has been eliminated, the last alarm message can be reset by pressing the ALARM button for several seconds (the red light on the button will turn off immediately). If the cause of the alarm has not been eliminated, the alarm buzzer will be activated again.

Alarm history
In order to be able to reconstruct the alarm history sequence, the microprocessor holds 100 alarm events in its memory. All of the set alarms can be read in series by entering the status screens by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons and choosing the Alarm History option (if there is a clock card). The time and date will also be recorded for each alarm event. The alarms activated when the counter threshold is exceeded are not recorded and therefore cannot be read.

Alarm events
All of the possible alarm messages that can be displayed on the user terminal are shown below. For active alarms (not recorded in the alarm history sequence), some possible suggestions will appear for solving the problem in the last two lines of the display: Incorrect Phase Sequence: The Scroll compressor must rotate in the correct direction, otherwise there will be a loss of efficiency. In single units with a three-phase power supply it is possible that the phase sequence of the network forces a rotational direction that is different to that which has been planned; in this case, as soon as the unit is connected to the power supply, the microprocessor immediately enters into an alarm state blocking any other type of operation.If this occurs, disconnect the power supply and invert the two phases of the power supply. Power Supply Return Signal: When the power supply is restored following a break in the power supply, the control records the screen, shown here in the alarm history sequence.

Local Network
Overview
Several air conditioners installed in the same room connected in parallel in the same system can be managed by connecting them to a local network. The number of connected units depends on the program managing the network, stored in the Flash Eprom memory. Units in a network can be connected at a max. of 500 meters (1640 ft). All the units connected to the network must have the same program version on the flash memory on the board. A terminal can be configured as private or shared: Private terminal shows the status of the single unit connected to it by a telephone cable. Shared terminal shows the status of all the units connected to the network. Each board can talk to 3 terminals at the most; there are usually no more than two in normal operating conditions: one installed in the unit and one possibly in a remote location. To communicate on the local network, the units must be configured so that each of them can convey the information necessary to operate properly. To achieve this, the separate units must first be numbered progressively (1,2,3,...10) and then the various terminals and LAN boards correctly addressed to them. The electrical connections must also be made, step by step, as described in the following section.

Note: Alarm signals always have priority over the terminal, even if the parameters of another unit are being viewed when the alarm is triggered.

56

Uniflair CW and DX Operation and Maintenance Manual

Common Network Connections


Up to 10 units connected to the network with a single terminal

In this configuration, should power fail in the first unit, the terminal would close down. It would therefore not be possible to read any information regarding the units in the network. However, the other units in the network would continue to operate normally.

Up to 10 units each with its own terminal

Up to 10 units with a single shared remote terminal

pCO Boards Connections


In the figure below, a simple parallel connection is shown for more than one pCO boards of the pLAN network, using a shielded cable with two twisted pairs and a shield. The cable is connected to all of the boards through the J11 terminal respecting the indicated polarity.

Warning: Network polarity must be respected: the RX/TX+ of one board must be connected to the RX/TX+ of the other boards; the same applies to RX/TX- and the GND.

Remote Terminal Connections


Important warnings
Electrical connections must be carried out when the unit is switched off and unplugged. The network can be configured differently depending on the maximum distance of the board and remote terminal connections; it may be necessary to use a T shunt TCONN6J (as shown below) to connect the remote terminal to the main board.

If both of the pin-strip jumpers are between 2 and 3, the passage of the current is interrupted between the connectors that are separated by a dashed line. If power is needed to be supplied to all of the connectors, both of the jumpers must be between 1 and 2. The 0 terminal is the support terminal, which can be used to connect the screen to the earth of the shielded cable; the T derivative may however be connected to a metallic part of the unit, already connected to the earth.

59

Maximum distances between the terminal and the board


For local terminals the connection with the base board is already made with a 3 pair cable with a 6 way telephone connector. The length of this cable should not be longer than 3 meters. The remote terminals should be connected to the base board with a telephone cable such as that which has been described in point 1 for a distance of up to 50 meters. For connections of up to 6 meters the cable can be supplied, on request, by Schneider Electric. Cable length

For distances up to a maximum of 200 meters, a screened cable must be used (a twisted pair cable with a shield AWG24, resistance < 80ohm/M). The cable can be a three or two twisted pair depending on if it has to transfer power to the terminals.

LAN and Supervision Connection


For connection to both LAN and supervision networks, it is advisable to use a cable that has the following specifications: Multi-coupled cables with internal flexible conductors made from tin plated copper (AWG 22, insulated with polypropylene, singularly coupled, screened with aluminium/polyester tape + continuity wire in tin plated copper (AWG 24/7) connected on a common axis to reduce the diameter and protected by an external sheath in PVC.

Remote Terminal from the Board Connection


In this configuration example, it is necessary to: Use the two TCONN6J 'T' joints (one installed on the unit and one near the remote terminal). Use a three pair screened cable for two, so that the remote terminal is also supplied by the board of unit 1 to which it is connected by the TCONN6J. Place the ferrite near the terminal in order to reduce the possibility of electromagnetic disturbances.

Terminal and pCO Board Addressing the Local Network


Before carrying out the configuration of the addresses, it is advised that the LAN connection between the boards should be checked in addition to the connection with the remote (or shared terminal) and the electric supply connections of the unit. It is possible to configure the address of the terminal only after having connected it to the power supply by using the RJ11 telephone connector. To enter in configuration mode press the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons at the same time for at least 5 seconds (these buttons are present on all models); the screen shown below will be displayed with a flashing cursor in the left hand top corner: To modify the address of the terminal (display address settings), press the ENTER button once and the cursor will move to the address field (nn). By using the UP and DOWN buttons, select the desired value and press the ENTER button. If the selected value is different from that previously used, the screen below will appear and the new value will be recorded in the permanent memory of the display. If 0 is entered as a value in the nn field, the terminal will communicate with the pCO board using the point-point protocol (not pLAN) and the field XX will disappear since it has no meaning.

Assigning the list of private and shared terminals (pCO)


If it is necessary to modify the list of terminals associate to each single pCO board, perform the following: 1. Enter in the configuration mode using the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons as described in the previous section. 2. Press the ENTER button until the cursor is positioned in the XX field (I/O board address). 3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to choose the address of the desired pCO board. The values that can be selected will be only those of the pCO boards which are effectively on line. If the pLAN network is not working correctly, or if there are no pCO boards connected, it will not be possible to modify the field and only will be shown. Pressing the button again will display the sequence of screens. The ENTER button moves the cursor from one field to another and the UP and DOWN buttons change the value of the chosen field.

LAN Parameter Configuration


After having carried out the configuration of the remote and shared user terminals, the operating parameters of the LAN network must be set. This must only be carried out on the unit with the address LAN1, because the information will automatically be passed on to the other units which are connected. The parameters that need to be set are inside the connected units screen; some of the settings that need to be carried out are described below: 1. Set the number of units connected to the LAN network. 2. Activate the automatic exchange of the unit in stand-by. 3. Set the cycle time to carry out the rotation of the units; if the hour is set at 000, a simple test will be carried out putting the units in rotation with an interval of 2 minutes. 4. Set the number of units in stand-by (max. 2). 5. If the last line is set to Yes, it enables the stand-by unit to be switched on in the event of an alarm. All of these settings are automatically passed on to the other connected units. The screen shown here is shown only if the local network has been configured, allowing management of the unit operation with the average temperature value measured from the active units connected in the local network or with the local value measured by the sensor present inside the unit. Method Local Value: Control of the unit is entrusted to the temperature values read by the sensor present on the air conditioner Method: Average Value: Control of the unit is entrusted to the average temperature read by the sensor present on the active units connected in the local network (if the difference between the average value and the sensor reading itself is more than the Average/Loc.Diff. value, the control will automatically move from Average to Local) The Exclude From Rotation parameter enables excluding the unit from the rotation time management by working in Stand-alone mode. If required, this function must be enabled for individual unit. This setting is not passed on to the other units; it needs to be set individually on each unit. Air pressure control configuration screen If a series of units are connected in the LAN, the fan speed can be modulated based on a local probe reading or alternately by calculating the average reading of all the probes connected and configured for each active unit. This setting must be made in the LAN setting screens for each individual unit.

Displaying the Network from the Terminal


From any terminal in the network, the screen << NetSTAT >> will appear when the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons are pressed at the same time for at least 10 seconds. The NetSTAT screen indicates all of the pCO boards with a LAN address and all of the terminals present in the network, including the remote shared terminal, and its relative addresses.

In the example, the result is that the network is composed of 3 LAN boards with the address 1,2,3 and of 4 user terminals with the address 11,12,13 and 32.

Humidifier
The only maintenance required is periodic inspection and cleaning of the steam humidifier components. This should be done at least once a year.

Note: Periodically inspect the feed and drain connections in order to guarantee trouble-free humidifier operation. Limescale deposits can affect humidifier performance. Periodically check for limescale buildup and replace humidifier cylinder when necessary. The frequency of this operation depends on the supply water: the higher the content of salts or impurities, the more frequently the cylinder will need cleaning. Before removing the cylinder for replacement or cleaning it is necessary to completely drain all of the water from the boiler. To connect the CPY user terminal
