Ultracapacitor
The Ultracapacitor module is an optional electronic device that ensures temporary control power in the event of
a blackout. The module is made up of two buffer UltraCap condensers, independently charged by the module.

When a blackout occurs, condensers release accumulated energy until depleted. When power returns, the
condensers start to charge and, to have efficient power to ensure control at the next blackout, about four
minutes of continuous charge are needed.

The Ultracapacitor is set in the Hardware Settings menu. These settings do not enable/disable the device and
do not alter operations in any way. This device bases its operations on internal condensers, which power the
main control card during a blackout, charging themselves when power returns.

Water pump management with inverter: This screen sets water circulation
pump operations with the assistance of an inverter.

Frequency can be regulated in two different logics:

• Auto-adaptive operating logic (Autoadaptive oper.): With this logic, the Pump Inverter
unit is equipped with additional pressure transducers on the cooling water CTRL Head Press:Y
(Autoadaptive oper.)
circuit.
Act.Head Pres.kPa 0000

Once the chiller is installed, the available necessary pressure can be set Al.Max Speed 100.0%
in Set Head Press. Set Head Press.kPa 150

Information from the sensors allows the controller to maintain this set
point in all pressure loss conditions and maintain constant water flow
through the evaporator even with a 2-way valve or separately installed
hydraulic circuits.

This solution is helpful when the system pressure loss can vary during
chiller operations with installations in which the units are equipped with
2-way valves or separate water circuits. The controller monitors pressure
drops via the unit and modifies inverter speed and initial pump pressure.
Required pressure prevalence can be set directly on the local display
interface or by the remote BMS supervision system.
• Manual logic (Flexible operat.): With this logic, the control card sets a Pump Inverter
value for inverter speed and a value for water flow. The unit works with CTRL Head Press:Y

This solution is necessary when system pressure loss is not fully known

The pressure difference between water input and output (working prevalence) is
calculated by a PID algorithm which generates a 0-10 V ramp to command the
water pump inverter. This way, if utility load loss changes, the system reacts by changing the water flow to load.

Network Configuration

Overview
Several units installed in the same room can be connected in a local network to manage the environmental
conditions as a group.The following guidelines describe group configurations:

NOTE: Units in a network can be connected at a maximum of 500 m (1640 ft).

NOTE: All units connected to the network must have the same version of flash memory on the board.

A terminal can be configured as “private” or “shared”:

• A private terminal shows the status of the single unit connected to it by a telephone cable.
• A shared terminal shows the status of all the units connected to the network.
Each board can “talk” to three terminals at most; there are usually no more than two in normal operation: one in
the unit and one possibly in a remote location.

Configuring the pLAN address


The pLAN address for the pCO5 range can be assigned in two ways:

1. With the new function for the pCO5: a dedicated key and a 7-segment LED display
2. With an external terminal (e.g., pGD1)
The default setting of the pLAN address of the pCO5 programmable controller is ‘1’ for board number 1 and ‘21’
for board number 2; it is assigned a private terminal with address ‘11’.

If both pin-strip jumpers are located between 2 and 3, the flow of current is interrupted between the separate
connectors and the dotted line. For all the connectors to be powered, both jumpers have to be between 1 and 2.

Terminal 0 is a supporting terminal and can be used to connect the screened cable to the earth; the “T” parallel
resistance must be connected to a metal part of the unit that is already grounded.

Uniflair ISA*, ISC* Operation and Maintenance Manual 49


LAN and Supervision Connection Cable
For connection to both LAN and supervision networks, it is recommended to use a cable with the following
specifications:

• Multi-coupled cables with internal flexible conductors made from tin plated copper (AWG 22/7)
• Insulated with polypropylene, singularly coupled, screened with aluminum/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.

Viewing the Network from the Terminal


From any terminal in the network, the screen “NetStat” will appear when UP, ENTER, and DOWN are pressed
simultaneously and held 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 three LAN boards with the addresses 1, 2, and 3
and of four user terminals with the addresses 11, 12, 13, and 32.

Maintenance

Safety During Maintenance Work


All work must be carried out by field service engineers that have been qualified and trained on Schneider
Electric cooling products.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on the equipment. All electrical
work must be performed by qualified personnel. Practice Lockout/Tagout procedures. Do
not wear jewelry when working with electrical equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
HAZARD FROM MOVING PARTS

Keep hands, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Check the equipment for
foreign objects before closing the doors and starting the equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or


equipment damage.

Refrigerant
These units are pre-filled at the factory and do not need to be filled with refrigerant unless problems occurred
during transportation and installation or in the event of safety valve intervention. If necessary, fill the refrigerant
according to the following instructions.

If the circuit has been emptied to replace certain components or for safety valve intervention, the circuit must be
emptied first.

Creating a vacuum in the circuit


Connect the vacuum pump to the compressor suction and delivery valves and empty the system to a vacuum
level of 500 absolute Pa (3.75 mm Hg); remember that it is a good idea to achieve a vacuum in a relatively slow
time frame (at least 120 minutes).

Wait for a “rising time” of 100 seconds and make sure the pressure has not exceeded 200 absolute Pa.

Filling with refrigerant


These units must be filled with refrigerant fluid in the liquid phase through the pin valve situated between the
thermostatic expansion valve and the evaporator, until any gaseous bubbles disappear from the liquid indicator.

The refrigerant must be filled in nominal conditions and with a delivery pressure of 10.5–12.0 bar (43–48°C).

Check the data plate for the quantity of refrigerant contained in the circuit, that the temperature of the liquid at
the thermostatic valve inlet is between 5° and 10° C less than the condensation temperature read on the
pressure gauge scale and that the super-heating is between 5 and 8°C.

NOTE: Before filling with R410A, check that there are no bubbles in the liquid indicator.

76 Uniflair ISA*, ISC* Operation and Maintenance Manual


Check the Compressor Oil Level
The oil level in compressors should be between the minimum and maximum inspection indicators.One of the
compressors has the inspection light while the other has a level sensor that generates an alarm when a low oil
level is detected.

Double Power Supply

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work
practices. See NFPA 70E or CSA Z462.
• This equipment must be installed and serviced by qualified personnel only.
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
• Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on power to this equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT

The compressor timings must be observed during the swap between the two power
supply lines.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT

Only use the selector switch for maintenance work. When completed, restore automatic
operation.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

When the unit is fitted with a double power supply managed by an automatic switch-over driven switch, the
switch does not have external operation.

IMPORTANT: Before opening the front panel to access the electrical panel, stop the unit from the display
interface according to the instructions provided in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

The compressor timings must be observed during the swap between the two electricity supply lines. In the
absence of voltage on line A (main electricity supply), line B (emergency line) must be kept active for at least six
minutes before switching back to line A when the voltage returns. Prepare a dedicated device (under the
responsibility of the customer) at the place of installation.

Opening the front panel with the unit in operation causes a micro-switch to trip, which immediately stops the
unit. In this case, the switch-off timings envisaged by the control software will not be observed.

With the machine stopped and with the electrical panel door open, there is only voltage upstream of the
disconnecting switch. In the event of maintenance work, to have voltage throughout the electrical panel, you will
need to set the key operated selector switch to ON; depending on the model, this key-operated selector switch
may be installed on the left-hand post of the unit or underneath the electrical panel.

IMPORTANT: Once the maintenance work has been completed, restore automatic operation.

78 Uniflair ISA*, ISC* Operation and Maintenance Manual


Low External Air Temperature

NOTICE
HAZARD TO PERSONNEL

Where a winter shut-down is envisaged, you need to empty out the hydraulic circuit and
add the necessary quantity of glycol to any water remaining inside the machine.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Units with free-cooling


Air-cooled water chillers with free-cooling systems must be filled with an anti-freeze mixture.

Units without free-cooling


Drain all water from the system before the winter season to avoid freezing. In periods when the outdoor
temperature falls below 0°C, empty the unit in order to avoid serious damage caused by the formation of ice.
This precaution is not necessary if the unit is filled with a suitable anti-freeze mixture.

If the unit is equipped with an optional heating cable, it must be turned off without disconnecting the main power
supply.

Scheduled Maintenance Guidelines

NOTICE
HAZARD TO PERSONNEL

Periodic inspection of the free-cooling hoses (if equipped) for leaks and potential
problems is recommended.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
