SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION General
Air conditioning equipment presents potential mechanical, electrical, noise or vibration hazards. Observe all safety, installation, operation and maintenance instructions. Installation, servicing and operation of the equipment only by fully trained and technically competent personnel. Eaton-Williams air conditioning equipment is designed to minimise mechanical and electrical hazards by fully restricting access through unit casings, doors and covers whilst the equipment is operational. Some installations may require additional protective features to prevent accidental contact with components. Eaton-Williams can provide advice and make recommendations for additional protection to suit the application. All installation work must be completed in accordance with the safety, installation, operation and maintenance instructions, and the unit correctly earthed before it is operated. Prior to any maintenance work being carried out, ensure that: Equipment is switched OFF. Equipment and controls are isolated from the electrical supply. All rotating parts have come to rest. Air conditioning equipment may, in certain operating conditions, generate unacceptable noise and vibration levels. EatonWilliams can advise on relevant sound level data, appropriate action to be taken and supply suitable components to reduce sound and vibration levels. If in any doubt as to the correct interpretation of performing any of the safety, installation, operation and maintenance instructions, it is essential that Eaton-Williams, their agent or appointed distributor, is consulted for advice and clarification. If any of the above initial symptoms are experienced, the affected person should be moved into fresh air and medical attention sought as a precaution. Over-exposure can be fatal.
Cardiac Irregularities
Exposure levels above the recommended exposure limits can lead to cardiac irregularities, such as irregular pulse, palpitations, inadequate circulation and cardiac arrest. The effect level varies from person to person, but is likely to increase if the person is under physical or emotional stress. If any of the above symptoms are experienced, move the affected person to fresh air and seek medical attention as a precaution. Overexposure can be fatal. NOTE: Do not treat affected persons with drugs, such as adrenaline, as this could increase the risk of cardiac problems.
Spills or Leaks
Vapour from a spill or leak of R 407C will tend to concentrate near the floor or in low areas, displacing the oxygen available for breathing, which can result in suffocation. Evacuate all personnel. Use blowers or fans to circulate fresh air. Do not re-enter the affected area until it has been thoroughly ventilated, unless wearing appropriate breathing apparatus.
Non-flammability
Refrigerant R 407C is formulated such that it remains nonflammable during shipping, handling, storage, in use, or if leaked from a unit.
Combustibility
Refrigerant R 407C is not flammable in air at temperatures up to 100 C at atmospheric pressure. However, mixtures of R 407C with high concentrations of air at elevated pressure and/or temperature can become combustible in the presence of a naked flame. R 407C can also become combustible in an oxygen enriched environment. R 407C MUST NOT BE MIXED WITH AIR UNDER PRESSURE FOR LEAK TESTING OR OTHER PURPOSES. Refrigerants should not be exposed to naked flames or electric heating elements. High temperatures and flames can cause the refrigerant to decompose, releasing toxic and irritating fumes. Always recover refrigerants, evacuate equipment, and ventilate work areas properly before using any open flames.
Inhalation Toxicity
Refrigerant R 407C poses no acute or chronic hazard when handled in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and when exposures are maintained at or below recommended Acceptable Exposure Limits (AEL), of 1000 ppm. Inhalation exposure, above the recommended exposure limit, to the vapours of R 407C refrigerant, may cause physiological effects that can include temporary depression of the nervous system, with effects such as dizziness, headache, confusion, loss of co-ordination and loss of consciousness.

Technical Manual Introduction
This section provides information about the main components of Invicta Precision Air Control (IPAC) standard range air handling units (AHUs). All dual module interconnecting wiring is made to numbered terminal rails in each unit for easy connection at site. To ease installation, an interconnecting wiring loom is available as an optional extra. IPAC air handling units are designed for indoor installation only. Units can either be mounted within the space to be conditioned, or mounted elsewhere with air ducted to the room. As well as the standard unit configurations, a variety of customising options can be factory-fitted or site-fitted, to provide a system that precisely matches user requirements.
Application
IPAC units are designed as a modular range of both upflow and downflow, floor-standing, air handling units for operation at room temperatures from 18 C to 30 C as standard. Factoryadded options can enable operation outside this range. These units provide highly reliable air handling systems for space-cooling, where the air must be conditioned to be: Temperature controlled (heating is optional) Humidity controlled (optional) Filtered clean of particulates
Temperature Control
Temperature can be precisely controlled, with cooling provided by the cooling coil(s). Where heating is required, mutli-stage electrical heating, or low pressure hot water (LPHW) are available as options. Air temperature is controlled by two PID (Proportional Integral and Derivative) algorithms, one for heating, the other for cooling. Each algorithm includes the same adjustable dead band, which equally spans each side of the room temperature set point. If I (Integral) and D (Derivitive) values are zero, control is proportional only. Proportional units are in C.
Duty Range
Basic duty sizes for standard units in the IPAC range are as shown in Table 2-1, which also identifies which are single or twin module units, together with matching condenser options. Twin module units can be positioned separately, offering flexibility according to installation requirements; refer to Fig. 2-3 for dimensions and weight data.

Humidity Control
Where dehumidification is required, a cooling coil is operated below the dew point of the air to condense and remove water content from the air. To ensure optimum temperature control in conjunction with dehumidification, the options of hot gas or electric reheat are available. Where humidification is required, a factory-fitted Vapac humidifier unit is available as an option. This is a proportionaloutput humidifier that produces clean, sterile steam, that is entrained into the airflow to increase its humidity. The humidifier responds to a changing demand, using the water level (WL) system of modulation. Output is varied by increasing or decreasing the level of water in the cylinder. Air humidity is similarly is controlled by two PID algorithms, one for humidification, the other for dehumidification. Each algorithm includes the same adjustable dead band, which equally spans each side of the room humidity set point. If I (Integral) and D (Derivitive) values are zero, control is proportional only. Proportional units are in % RH.

Reliability
IPAC units are designed for high reliability with a calculated mean-time between failure of not less than four years, provided that routine maintenance procedures are carried out at prescribed intervals.
By offering a selection of various combinations of unit configuration, duty requirements can be matched accurately. The various standard unit configurations available are as illustrated in Fig. 2-3, while airflow path configurations are illustrated in Fig. 2-11. Units are manufactured with either upflow or downflow air direction, to provide optimum comfort levels. For a dual module pair, the electrical section of the larger unit contains the controls and switchgear for control of the other.
Serviceability
The maximum time required replacing Service Items, and returning the unit to operational condition is approximately 1 hour, excluding refrigeration circuit items, provided of course, that recommended service parts are held ready to use.

From the suction line, the compressor draws refrigerant gas (normally R 407C), compresses it and then discharges it into the discharge line. The high pressure, superheated discharge gas flows through the discharge line to the condenser, where the gas is cooled and condensed by relatively cool air flowing on the other side of the heat exchange surface. The resulting liquid, still at high pressure, flows through the liquid line and through a filter/drier before reaching the thermostatic expansion valve. NOTE Depending on system design external to the unit, it may be necessary to fit a liquid receiver in the liquid line, after the condenser; refer to Liquid Receiver on page 6-6 of Section 6. To ensure that only liquid reaches the thermostatic expansion valve, the liquid line continues from the liquid receiver via a dip tube arrangement.
The thermostatic expansion valve meters the flow of refrigerant entering the evaporator in response to the temperature of refrigerant leaving the evaporator. On entering the evaporator, the refrigerant is a saturated vapour and liquid mixture at low pressure. As the refrigerant passes through the evaporator, any liquid present is vaporised by extracting heat from the relatively high temperature supply air flowing on the other side of the heat exchange surface. From the evaporator, the superheated, low pressure gas enters the suction line and flows to the compressor again. The process is continuous while the compressor is operating. To achieve evaporator capacity control, one of two types of Capacity Control Hot Gas Injection System arrangements may be fitted; refer to page 2-29 for more details. Depending on the unit model, there may be two independent refrigeration systems fitted, so that high demand conditions can be met. The controller has been designed to enable refrigeration system operation to be tempered to meet demand without inefficient short-cycling of equipment.

Cooling water (glycol solution or similar primary refrigerant) at a specified rate and temperature (see Table 2-2) is pumpcirculated (by customer system) through the plate heat exchanger. From the suction line, the compressor draws refrigerant gas (normally R 407C), compresses it and then discharges it into the discharge line. The high pressure, superheated discharge gas flows through the discharge line to the plate heat exchanger condenser, where the gas is cooled and condensed by relatively cool water (glycol solution or similar primary refrigerant) flowing on the other side of the heat exchange surface. The resulting liquid, still at high pressure, flows through the liquid line to the liquid receiver (fitted as standard), which is designed to accommodate all excess liquid not required in the evaporator (air cooler) when the unit is operated at below maximum load conditions. To ensure that only liquid reaches the thermostatic expansion valve, the liquid line exits the liquid receiver via a dip tube arrangement. Note that because the liquid receiver cannot be isolated, there is no requirement for a pressure relief valve. However, it is recommended that a suitably sized and rated fire-hazard safety pressure relief valve is fitted as an option. The thermostatic expansion valve meters the flow of refrigerant entering the evaporator in response to the temperature of refrigerant leaving the evaporator.
On entering the evaporator, the refrigerant is a saturated vapour and liquid mixture at low pressure. As the refrigerant passes through the evaporator, any liquid present is vaporised by extracting heat from the relatively high temperature supply air flowing on the other side of the heat exchange surface. From the evaporator, the superheated, low pressure gas enters the suction line and flows to the compressor again. The process is continuous while the compressor is operating. To achieve evaporator capacity control, one of two types of Capacity Control Hot Gas Injection System arrangements may be fitted; refer to page 2-29 for more details. Depending on unit model, there may be two independent refrigeration systems fitted, so that high demand conditions can be met. The controller has been designed to enable refrigeration system operation to be tempered to meet demand without inefficient short-cycling of equipment. Cooling water flow and return connections are on the same face of the plate heat exchanger and are arranged to contraflow the direction of refrigerant flow. Because the DX refrigerant system is close-coupled within the unit and velocities are sufficient to carry oil round the system, an oil separator arrangement is not required.

This system is illustrated in Fig. 2-6 - Chilled water cooling and LPHW heating diagram. In response to the temperature of air entering the unit, the InvictaNET controller modulates a flow control valve to meter the flow of chilled water (or other suitable chilled medium) entering the heat exchange coil. NOTE Effective control of air temperature relies upon the supply of low pressure chilled water at a specified constant temperature being available to the unit. As the chilled water passes through the cooling coil, heat is extracted from the relatively high temperature supply air flowing on the other side of the coils heat exchange surface. Having passed through the cooling coil, the water then returns to the water chilling plant for re-cooling, before returning to the unit again. Depending on the unit model, there may be two independent flow control valve / cooling coil systems fitted, so that high demand conditions can be met. As can be seen in Fig. 2-6, there is a choice of two types of optional modulating flow control valve arrangement: 2-way valve 3-way valve For details of the modulating control valve, see page 2-25.

This diagram illustrates a typical IPAC Glycol Economy cooling system, including 3-way valve, 2-way valve, system isolating valves and commissioning flow control valve and combined flow meter. 1 If the system isolating valves option is fitted, but not the commissioning control valve and flow meter option, an isolating valve will be provided in the return line, to replace the isolating capability that would have been provided by the flow control valve.
There are two types of economy cooling option available for the IPAC range of AHUs, Fresh-Air Economy Cooling and Glycol Economy Cooling. Both can be optimised to use the relevant cooling medium, where conditions allow, to achieve the required air condition, whilst minimising the running time of the compressor or cooling plant. The pay-back return period for the initial additional equipment cost is achieved within two to three years typically. Fresh-Air Economy Cooling Option Fresh-air economy cooling can be applied to either DX or chilled water units, where the unit is either installed with its back against an outside wall (louvre required), or fitted with fresh-air duct (room pressure relief required). This system requires a separate modulating damper box fitted in the return air path to the unit, plus an outside air temperature sensor. The modulating damper box comprises a modulating damper plate and an G2 filter on the fresh-air side. The InvictaNET controller modulates the damper to vary the return-air /fresh-air mix to achieve optimum air temperature at a constant airflow volume.
For control details, refer to Fresh-Air Economy Cooling on page 19 of Section 4. Glycol Economy Cooling Option Glycol (cooling by glycol/water solution cooled medium) economy cooling can be applied to water-cooled DX units, where cooling coil heat rejection is capable of returning the cooling medium at a temperature below that of room air. For this system, an additional coil, for the glycol / water cooling medium, is included in the cooling heat exchanger coil block and faces the DX cooling coil.
CAUTION
The cooling medium must contain a suitable antifreeze mix otherwise the DX process may freeze the cooling medium and result in damage to the unit. IPAC units have been designed for an 80%/20% Ethylene Glycol mix by volume. The arrangement is such that the return air passes through the economy cooling coil, where it is pre-cooled, before passing through the DX cooling coil, where the main cooling process, to required temperature, takes place.
Document 0410536
Page 2-19
IPAC
Technical Manual
The chilled glycol / water primary cooling medium, first passes through the economy cooling coil, if the water temperature is lower than the return air temperature, prior to passing through the plate heat exchanger to liquefy the refrigerant. If the water temperature is not lower than the return air temperature, the InvictaNET controller opens a valve to divert the cooling medium straight to the plate heat exchanger. For control details, refer to Glycol Economy Cooling on page 19 of Section 4. In this way, additional cooling by the cooling medium, that has already performed its condensing function, is achieved before returning to the cooling plant. Therefore, depending on unit application, after dehumidification, reheating of the air may be necessary to control air temperature.
Humidity Control
Humidity control is an option for all units. The humidity of supply air passing through the unit can also be monitored by the controller, which applies humidity control strategy to correct and maintain air humidity at a predetermined set point. If a humidifier is fitted (see page 2-30), this can be controlled to produce an increase in air humidity by introducing steam into the airstream. Whether in humidifying or dehumidifying mode, the air passage through the unit is the same as for heating or cooling.
Dehumidification
For environments where high humidity is a problem, the refrigeration system is used to reduce and control air relative humidity (RH %). This is achieved by passing the supply air across the evaporator coil, where moisture condenses onto the relatively cold surface of the heat exchanger. As the condensate accumulates, it forms water droplets, which then fall into the condensate drip tray. All resulting water then drains from the condensate tray and passes, via a trap, to external drains. NOTE Because of the nature of the dehumidification process, unless the heating option is fitted, accurate dehumidification may not achievable without overcooling the supply air.

Unit Casing
The IPAC units are constructed using pre-coated outer panels, light grey finish to BS 00A05. Internal metalwork is of galvanised steel construction. External panels are insulated with fire-retardant, vapour-proof, closed-cell, high-density foam, to maximise thermal insulation while minimising noise breakout. NOTE This may increase maximum running currents shown in duty tables and increase noise levels. Multi-speed motors Multi-speed motors are available. Please contact Eaton WIlliams for further information. Class 1, energy-efficient motors As an option, supply fan drive motors are available to Class 1 Energy Efficiency. V Belt Drive Each supply air fan is driven by V belts for increased performance and reduced loss of power.
Finish
External metalwork surfaces are coated in a light-grey (BS 4800 Grey 00A05), durable, protective paint as standard. Internal panels are of galvanised steel. Customised colours If an alternative colour option is required, metalwork is primed with etch primer and then given one coat of finish paint.
Air Filters
As standard, air filters are fitted internal to the unit in the supply air path, prior to the evaporator coil, to filter the air before it is conditioned and then discharged into the room, see Table 2-11 on page 2-23. As an option, filters may be installed externally to the unit, in a High-efficiency Filter Section - see page 2-36 There are various filter grade options, however, it is worth noting that filters above grade F6 would require relatively frequent replacements, as the holding capacity of panel filters at this high efficiency is low. For applications requiring such high-efficiency filtration, the external High-efficiency Filter Section (see page 2-36) should be fitted. NOTE The fitting of panel filters instead of pad filters is easily carried out and requires only a change of retaining clips, with no alteration necessary to the framework.

Cooling Coil
The standard cooling coil is manufactured from copper tubes with aluminium fins. As an option, the coil can be supplied as copper/copper, or copper/copper-electro-tinned; note that this will increase the weight of the unit. A water-tight drip tray, fitted below the coil, collects the condensate. The cooling coil, condensate drain tray, plastic drain pipework and drain trap are illustrated in Fig. 2-8 and Fig. 2-9 on page 2-24. As it accumulates, water is drained off via two outlets and passes through the internal drain trap, before exiting the unit to the external drain facility (by others). NOTE The unit has an internal drain trap. An external trap should NOT be fitted.

Technical Manual
Fresh Air Control, Including Smoke Detection
This option is the same as the Fresh Air Control (see page 2-26), but includes a smoke detector on the outside air path, as close as possible to the point of entry. If smoke is detected in the incoming airstream, this control overrides (via hard-wired relays) the unit controller and shuts the fresh air damper to prevent further entry of outside air. An alarm signal is generated by the device, via its own volt-free relay contacts. When the sensor detects that the air is clear of smoke, the device resets and normal operation resumes.
Trend Controller
Where required, the IPAC units can be provided with a Trend IQ204 controller with custom designed software to meet the individual site requirements. Please note, if this option is used, separate documentation will be required as this manual is solely based on the InvictaNET controller. Please contact Head Office for further information.
Door-interlocked isolator
For safe electrical isolation of units, Eaton-Williams recommends that an optional, local door-interlocked isolator is fitted. This device will isolate the unit when the door handle is turned to open the unit door panel.
Heating Process
Electric Heating
Single or two-stage electrical heating can be provided as an option. As described under Dehumidification on page 2-20, where air temperature and humidity are both critical, it is necessary to reheat the air after dehumidification. In this case, the correct amount of reheat capacity must be available. Heaters can of course be used for heating-only (i.e. no dehumidification) cycles. The design of the electric heating in IPAC units is flexible and comprises multiples of 2.5 kW, finned resistance elements, balanced, where possible, over the three electrical phases. The standard heating option is a single bank of heaters in the first module of a twin unit. However, installed heating can be configured to match demand, with options for two-stage or fourstage heating. For details of capacity and heater bank arrangements, refer to Table 2-13 on page 2-28 For heater control philosophy, refer to Section 4 - Electrical Heating Where the electrical heat load is higher than standard for a particular unit, some of the heating elements may be fitted into the second module. Each applicable module is fitted with two self-resetting, overtemperature thermostats, to ensure safety, should a fault condition arise.
Audible Alarm
As part of the graphical display assembly, a buzzer can be fitted. This will be activated should the controller be in alarm condition. It can be muted by pressing the OK button (EW Controller only).

Low Pressure Hot Water Heating System
Both upflow and downflow master units can be supplied with an LPHW (Low Pressure Hot Water) coil fitted to the air-off side of the cooling coil. Duties are shown on Table 2-12 on page 2-28. This heating option includes a 2-way or 3-way modulating valve, proportionally controlled to enable the LPHW coil to act as the primary heating source, as well as a re-heat coil during dehumidification duty. The duty of the LPHW coil is rated to match the dehumidification available on the IPAC units. As a special, a larger coil and pipework arrangement could be installed if required; refer to Eaton-Williams for details.

This system is illustrated in Fig. 2-6 - Chilled water cooling and LPHW heating diagram and comprises similar components, arrangement and flow control principles. In response to the temperature of air entering the unit, the InvictaNET controller modulates a flow control valve to meter the flow of LPHW entering the heat exchange coil.
As the hot water passes through the heating coil, heat transfers from the hot water to the relatively low temperature supply air flowing on the other side of the coils heat exchange surface. Having passed through the heating coil, the water then returns to the water heating plant for reheating, before returning to the unit again.
Page 2-28
IPAC
Technical Manual
LPHW Heating Coil
For LPHW heating, the standard heat exchange coil is manufactured from copper tubes with aluminium fins. As an option, the coil can be supplied as copper/copper, or copper/copper-electro-tinned.
Liquid Receiver
A horizontal liquid receiver is recommended for each refrigeration circuit having a pipe run of greater than 30 metres. For further information, refer to: Air-cooled Direct Expansion (DX) System on page 2-16, Water-cooled DX System on page 2-17, and Liquid Receiver on page 6-6 of Section 6. The liquid receiver is a site-fit option, which should be installed at the liquid outlet from the condenser. NOTE It is recommended that a suitable pressure relief device is fitted with this option
Oil Separator
Although not normally required on IPAC units, compressormatched oil separators for long pipe runs are available for site installation. One oil separator would be required for each refrigeration circuit.
Pressure Relief
Eaton-Williams recommends that a pressure relief kit option is fitted to each refrigeration circuit.
WARNING
Depending on system design and/or total charge weight, pressure relief may be mandatory according to safety legislation. Pressure relief devices must be sized, rated and installed according to industry safe practice and legislation. The pressure relief kit comprises a pressure relief device, bursting disc and rupture indicator. If system pressure rises to a predetermined value, the pressure relief device will open, exposing the bursting disc to system pressure.
Document 0410536
Page 2-29
IPAC
Technical Manual
If the bursting disc ruptures (at a predetermined pressure), excess pressure will be relieved to atmosphere until system pressure returns to a safe level. The pressure relief valve will then close so that further loss of refrigerant to atmosphere is avoided. The rupture indicator provides a visual signal that pressure relieving has occurred and that a new kit is required to be fitted (after rectifying the cause of the excessively high pressure condition).
Airflow Options

The optional Vapac humidifier is a fully integrated system for maintaining and controlling air humidity. The humidifier comprises a cylinder, in which electrodes are inserted. When electrical power is applied to the electrodes, energy passes between them, causing the water to boil and vaporise, producing steam. The steam leaves the cylinder from the top and is released, via a manifold, into the air stream passing through the unit.
Page 2-30
IPAC
Technical Manual
For high humidification demand applications, the second module of a twin unit can also be fitted with a humidifier, as an option.

Anti-vibration mountings
As an option, for applications where vibration transmission to surroundings must be kept to a minimum, anti-vibration mountings (AVMs) can be fitted to fan drive assemblies.
Lifting Channels
A set of galvanised steel lifting channels is available to lift the units off of their pallets without damaging the units. Please refer to the Installation Section for correct use.
Condensate Pump
Two types of optional condensate pump are available: Hot condensate pump Cold condensate pump
Document 0410536
Page 2-31
IPAC
Technical Manual
Application and suitability are dependent on whether drainage by gravity can be achieved and whether a humidifier is fitted. This pump is capable of holding 2 litres of water and can pump against a nominal head of 4 metres.
Flood Detection
If required, an optional condensate flood detection device can be fitted. This could be from either an optional water detection tape (5 metres long - one per unit module, plus PCB for the master module), or, an alarm signal from a condensate pump (optional). NOTE If supplied by a third party, the device must provide a volt-free digital input, where: Open circuit = healthy Closed circuit = fault If a flood is detected, the cooling process and humidifier (if fitted) stop, so that further flooding is avoided (configurable). For details on connection and operation, refer to Section 4 - INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL and the unit wiring diagram.
Customised Colours
The standard pre-coated steel used in the cabinet construction can be oversprayed with any RAL or BS colour at additional cost.
Pipework
Pipework is manufactured from refrigeration quality copper tube. Connections are hermetically sealed by solder/brazed joints. After pipework assembly, the system is pressure tested. Suction lines are insulated with a closed-cell, synthetic rubber insulation material, which is jointed and vapour-sealed. Auxiliary Humidification On twin module units, if humidification demand is greater than the standard output, a second humidifier can be fitted to the secondary module. The secondary humidifier contains its own Echelon controller works in tandem with the InvictaNET controller to meet demand. The size of the secondary humidifier is limited by module cabinet size into which it is being installed. Where the installation would benefit from steam being injected directly into a duct, an additional (or alternative) humidifier, controlled by the InvictaNET controller, can be supplied; for details, refer to Eaton-Williams. Hot condensate pump For use in full air-conditioning units, where the internally trapped condensate pipe and Vapac humidifier outlet cannot be gravity fed to a suitable drain point. Pump component materials are suitable for water high temperatures that can be produced by the humidifier. Although this is a site-fit option, terminals are fitted to the IPAC unit for the power supply, and connection for the fault relay, into the water detection input of the controller This pump is capable of holding 4 litres of water and can pump against a nominal head of 6 metres. NOTE Please note that a non-return valve may need to be fitted in the external pipework on site (by others) as this is not supplied with this pump. Cold condensate pump For use in non-humidifying units, where the internally trapped condensate pipe cannot be gravity fed to a suitable drain point a cold water condensate pump is supplied.
Electrical Equipment
Electrical equipment, specifications and options are as follows: External electrical connections are: 380 to 415 volt, 5-wire, 3-phase, neutral and earth mains supply Remote alarm monitoring. Remote start/stop control functions. Emergency and fire shutdown functions. IPAC units are all designed for minimum power input. The control panel is wired via clearly labelled terminal blocks, enabling easy modification / replacement of control system components. All components are internally wired to terminals. Any external interconnecting wiring must be made, by customer, to local regulations. In a twin module unit, interconnecting wiring is terminated, in both modules, to a numbered terminal rail, for customer interconnection at site. All controls are operated from a 24 V ac transformer supply. The equipment will, under all conditions, function within the limits required by Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards BSEH50081-1 and BSEH50081-2. Wiring cable is PVC insulated to BS 623 or BS 6004, as appropriate, and installed in accordance with BS 7671. Conductors for auxiliary purposes have a minimum cross section of 0.5 mm2. Except for the 3-phase supply, conductors are identified by colour coded cables or by numbered ferrules, enabling easy identification and reference to the circuit diagram.
CAUTION
A cold condensate pump is not suitable for use in units fitted with a humidifier, where water high temperatures can damage pump components. Although this is a site-fit option, terminals are fitted to the IPAC unit for the power supply, and connection for the fault relay, into the water detection input of the controller.

Where cables are grouped together in runs and subject to movement, they are suitably secured and protected from mechanical abrasion by a PVC sheath. Supply to the compressor(s), fans, heaters and Vapac unit is via approved protective devices. All terminal blocks are mounted on rails, clamped tightly together using intermediate end-brackets, where required. Terminals are designed to accommodate oversized cables, to ensure that voltage drops can be kept to a minimum. The standard service connections are through the base plinth. Where this is not convenient (i.e. an upflow front-return unit), as an option, side panels of the unit can have gland plates fitted for side service entry.
Page 2-33
IPAC
Technical Manual
On downflow units, the change from top to rear return is via a moveable plate. Configuration of upflow units must be specified at the time of ordering. Typically front return units will have a greater noise level than figures generally given for the rear return units.
Table 2-16 : Front / rear return availability
WARNING
In an emergency, do NOT attempt to use controller functions to shutdown equipment, as this will initiate a controlled shutdown that is unlikely to be effective immediately. It is recommended that an optional external Emergency Stop button is fitted, which when pressed will interrupt the power supply, shutting down the unit(s).
Fire Shutdown
An optional fire shut down facility may be fitted at the site and wired into unit terminals If a fire is detected and triggers the system, it will interrupt the power supply to the controller, shutting down the unit and any network slaves. For details on connection and operation of both, refer toSection 4 - INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL and the unit wiring diagram.
Ancillary Options
A range of ancillaries is available for each of IPAC unit and the most suitable choice is dependent on the particular application and installation. Eaton-Williams Engineers will be pleased to offer advice as to the most suitable selections. If a twin module unit is selected, the base is supplied in two sections, allowing for unit modules to be installed in separate positions. All ancillaries are despatched with two locating pins, which fit into corresponding holes in the IPAC unit frame, to locate the extra sections. NOTE The supplied gasket seal must be used between any mating sections to eliminate air by-pass noise. As standard, unit module sections are not bolted together.
Emergency Shutdown
In an emergency, the unit must be shutdown by using the quickest means possible.
Page 2-34
IPAC
Technical Manual
Adjustable Feet
The adjustable feet option is recommended for all under-floor base plinth options. Providing 25 mm adjustability in corner jacking height, adjustable feet make levelling of base plinth sections quick and easy, before fitting a unit into position.
CAUTION
It is essential that units are level when installed, otherwise unit operation may be adversely affected and can result in damage to the unit.
Open frame
The Open Frame illustrated (shown with adjustable feet), is recommended for floor return systems. This is the simplest base option and is designed to match each unit of the IPAC range.
This design reduces the discharge pressure drop and under-floor noise levels. It can be used to discharge air to the rear of the units, as an alternative to the normal front-supply arrangement.

Fresh Air Modulating Section
This is a 0 to 100% modulating fresh air mixing section. Either as a header (downflow) or a base plinth (upflow), the section utilises outside air, where possible, to condition the room. This optimises unit efficiency, reducing compressor loads by up to 60 % over a year. The fresh-air control facility (refer to Economy Cooling Options on page 2-19 and Economy Cooling Options on page 4-19 of Section 4) senses outside air temperature and internal temperature / humidity levels and responds by modulating the fresh air damper to keep the room air at the required condition.
When room air is evaluated as heading away from being at the required condition, the fresh air facility is inhibited by closure of the inlet damper. Each section is supplied complete with coarse grade, F2 pre-filters.

Status Screen
Each unit in a network has its own Status screen. By default, the Status screen for the unit to which the controller is fitted is displayed first; i.e. if the controller is fitted to network unit No. 3, the status screen for unit 3 is displayed. The exception to the above is in the case of an alarm, when the controller behaves intuitively: If an alarm is present, the Status screen for the unit having the alarm will be displayed first. If there is an alarm on more than one unit, the Status screen for the unit having the first alarm is displayed first. The system number is reversed-out (green on black) to indicate which units Status screen is currently being displayed. To navigate to the Status screen of any other unit on the network, press either the or arrow button, as appropriate. Plant items are represented by icons, which animate to indicate operation. The full range of icons is detailed under . For units fitted with two of the same type of plant (e.g. two compressors), these are identified by numbers; i.e. 1 or 2.

INVICTANET Controller User Manual
This means that networked AHUs are able to run independently, as required; for example, if the Master unit controller is off-line for any reason, or if zone control is required. Any adjustment to setting values should be recorded, together with the date changed. It is recommended that a copy of each appropriate settings record is kept with the plant log book. Having this information to hand will keep any down time period to a minimum, should controller settings need to be input again. Always keep the settings record up to date and in a safe place, preferably with the unit log record. For a complete listing of adjustable settings available at user level, refer to Table 3-4 on page 14. Note that settings cannot be adjusted at Status menu level, which is view-only for information. Differential Settings While the majority settings are self-explanatory, it is worth detailing how differential setting values are determined. The following examples are provided for guidance. Example 1: This example is for the Room High Temperature Alarm setting, which determines at which temperature the high temperature alarm is generated. If the Room Temperature set point value is 20 C and the HT alarm is required to be set at 25 C, the calculation to determine the setting value is: 25 C minus 20 C = 5 C Therefore: Room High Temperature Alarm setting value = 5.00 Example 2: This example is for the Room Low Temperature Alarm setting, which determines at which temperature the low temperature alarm is generated. If the Room Temperature set point value is 20 C and the LT alarm is required to be set at 17 C, the calculation to determine the setting value is: 20 C minus 17 C = 3 C Therefore: Room Low Temperature Alarm setting value = 3.00 By using this method, positive and negative value offsets from set points can be determined for any differential setting. Each event is allocated a number and this, together with the total number of events logged, is shown to the right in the first line of text. Therefore, in the example screens shown in Fig. 3-10 and Fig. 3-11 on page 12, the number 11-11 indicates that this is alarm event eleven of eleven events (i.e. the most recent event in the history log). The first line shows that the screen information relates to either when the alarm was active (first generated), as in Fig. 3-10, or was cleared, as in Fig. 3-11. NOTE The term activated does not mean that the alarm event still exists, but only that it was originally generated at the date and time shown. If a particular alarm has been cleared, as described under , there will be a corresponding cleared event screen of a later date for the same alarm condition. The second line, shows the date DD-MM-YY and time, hour : minute : second. The third line identifies the AHU number. The fourth line identifies the plant item and the nature of the alarm (e.g. high temperature) indicates that air handling unit No. 1 has an air high temperature condition (i.e. air temperature is excessive and has reached or exceeded the Room High Temperature Alarm set point.

INVICTANET Controller User Manual Alarms
The controller monitors for various fault conditions according to configuration and signal inputs. In response to a detected fault condition, controller generates one of two types of alarm, namely, an urgent alarm, or a nonurgent alarm. These are defined as follows:
Urgent alarm
(animated bell icon) An urgent alarm (see Fig. 3-12) is generated in response to a fault condition which prevents unit operation; e.g. Airflow Failure alarm.
CAUTION
Some fault conditions, such as temperature or pressure trips, will seem to rectify themselves as conditions return to normal when the unit stops operating. DO NOT reset the controls and restart the unit without first identifying and rectifying the cause of the fault. Repeatedly resetting and restarting can damage the unit and may invalidate any warranty.
invictanet
20.6C 41 %
WARNING
23.5C
The cause of an urgent alarm requires immediate action to correct the fault condition before the unit can restart. Any control function that is unaffected by the fault will continue to be operative. (static icon, reversed-out icon) A non-urgent alarm (see Fig. 3-13) is generated in response to a fault condition, which requires attention, but does not immediately prevent a unit from operating. Note that if the building icon is flashing reversed-out (Fig. 3-13), the alarm relates to air temperature, humidity, or both.
Fig. 3-13 : System screen non-urgent alarm
Non-urgent alarm
Fault investigations, diagnosis and remedial actions that necessitate opening up the unit cabinet can involve potentially hazardous procedures and must only be undertaken by properly trained and authorised personnel. When all alarms have been cleared, the controller will resume normal operation and restart the unit, provided that no faults exists. Note that compressor restarting may be subject to its Starts Per Hour Limiting Time setting; refer to the INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL for details. If the fault condition still exists, the controller will detect this during its next data scan cycle and will indicate the same fault again.
invictanet
Emergency Shutdown
In an emergency, the unit must be shutdown by using the quickest means possible.
CAUTION
27.4C 54%
24C
The cause of a non-urgent alarm should be attended to at the earliest opportunity, otherwise, if ignored, a more serious fault can develop, resulting in an urgent alarm, which prevents unit operation. Example: If a blocked filter alarm is ignored and the filter continues to clog-up, an airflow failure fault will ultimately stop the plant and generate an urgent alarm, perhaps at critical moment.
In an emergency, do NOT attempt to use controller functions to shutdown equipment, as this will initiate a controlled shutdown that is unlikely to be effective immediately. If an external Emergency Stop button is fitted (as recommended), pressing this will interrupt the power supply to the controller and stop the plant (including paired slave, if fitted) immediately
Fire Shutdown
If a fire shutdown remote switching device is fitted (and interlocked as recommended), when triggered, it will interrupt the power supply to the controller and stop the plant (including paired module, if fitted) immediately.

Troubleshooting Guide
DISPLAY PROBLEM Condition Reason / Remedial Action The controller has been designed to be robust and reliable in operation. However, communications faults or interruptions can, in certain circumstances, corrupt the display. If the display is suspected of not functioning normally, power to the affected unit(s) should be switched OFF to power-down the controller for a period of 30 seconds, before switching it back ON. On restoration of power, the controller and display should re-initialise and operate normally. If the problem recurs and causes a nuisance, the communications wiring and connections should be checked for integrity by and Engineer. AHU NOT OPERATING Condition / Consideration Reason / Remedial Action Check that any external interlocks, (such as Fire Shutdown and Emergency Shutdown on page 15, are in a healthy state. Note that if the fire shutdown facility is utilised, the display will continue to function after the fire shutdown device is triggered. Therefore the display being live does not mean that the controller power supply is healthy. Check that the unit operating mode is healthy. Do this by interrogating the controller: Is power available to the controller? Unhealthy = Healthy = AHU online - see Status | AHU x | Ahu mode AHU standby - see Status | AHU x | Ahu mode an alarm exists; e.g. Comp 1 HP Shutdown, where either the Remote Start/Stop or the Fire Shutdown are OFF - see Status | AHU x | Ahu mode Not configured - this message means an engineer is required to re-configure the unit/network setup
Display corruption
Is there a demand?
Check that there is truly a demand. For example, if demand has been satisfied, the controller will not initiate the unit process (cooling, heating, humidification or dehumidification) to operate. Check that demand exists by viewing the Status screen (see Status Screen on page 6), which shows demand and percentage indicators, and by interrogating System Status points 3-1-4 or 3-1-5 as appropriate; see Table 3-3 on page 13.
If demand is present (see above), but the appropriate process is not operating, a normal delay time may be in effect. If system status points 3-0-3 and 3-0-4 show no demand and this is unexpected, check temperature set point 4-0-1 or 4-0-2 (humidity) and compare this to the actual measured value shown for status point 3-0-1 (temperature) or 3-0-2 (humidity), as appropriate. Demand exists, Remember to take into account: Dead band control settings but the unit is Override controls idle Compressor starts per hour limiting External interlocks (if fitted) are in a healthy state; such as Fire Shutdown on page 15 and Emergency Shutdown on page 15. Refer to the INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL for details. AHU NOT OPERATING Condition / Consideration Reason / Remedial Action
A unit in standby mode will only operate to take over the duty of another unit that becomes unavailable, or when due to take over Is the AHU idle according to run/standby rotation control settings. in standby On the Status > AHU menu, check AHU operating mode point 3-x-1, or humidifier operating mode point 3-x-2 for the humidifier mode? (where x is the AHUs system number on the network), as appropriate; see Table 3-3. The unit process will only be operative if status is shown as online.

INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL Description
The Eaton-Williams AHU controller has been specifically designed to operate IPAC range units to provide air conditioning of room/areas of a building that require a precision air-controlled environment. Depending on the unit(s) and options installed, the following control functions may be available: Cooling only Temperature control (heating option must be installed) Air Condition (heating and humidifier options must be installed) Factory-set configuration modes of the controller allow the same hardware and software to be used throughout the IPAC range, whilst allowing each variation of combination of internal components to be optimally controlled for efficiency and close control. When on site, controllers can either be configured as stand-alone units, or be networked into a system of up to ten units, by using the units LONWORKS open protocol networking capabilities. For clarity, the following terminology and definitions are used: Network Master A unit/controller, either stand-alone, or in a system and configured (during commissioning) to be the Network Controller. Network Slave A unit/controller, in a system and configured (during commissioning) to be a slave of the Network Master; i.e. the unit receives its control from the Network Master, to ensure optimal control of a networked area. Should the network control signal fail, a Network Slave will return to stand-alone control, thereby ensuring that operation continues. Master Module / Primary Module Either a Network Master or any Network Slave unit, fitted with an InvictaNET controller. Slave Module / Secondary Module A unit containing mechanical components and local controls, but no InvictaNET controller. All components are controlled by the unit's matching Master Module. Therefore, a slave module is not seen by the LON Network.
Passwords
Passwords are provided for two menu levels: User level password = 4602 To enable adjustment of user level settings, viewing of the history log, and clearing of alarms; see Section 3 INVICTANET Controller User Manual. Service menu level password = 5699 For manual control and service functions; see Servicing and Maintenance Facility below. Site Setup menu level password = 1111 To access site network setup functions; see Setup on page 4-12.
CAUTION
Use of passwords must only be entrusted to authorised personnel. Eaton-Williams cannot be held responsible for any consequence of unauthorised use of passwords.
User Interface
The InvictaNET combined display and keypad, illustrated in Fig. 4-1, is fitted to all IPAC units. The display uses a backlit LCD screen and provides information and control facilities. The display offers a user-friendly interface, with the benefits of animation and icon representations of plant items, plus features such as historical alarm logging. For general information on using the graphical display / keypad, together with user-specific information refer to Section 3 INVICTANET Controller User Manual .

INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL
If ESC is pressed inadvertently, or power is interrupted, to rectify any corruption, it may be necessary to setup the controller / network from first principles. After making any changes under the Setup menu, always complete the process by executing the Reset Display command from the Setup Menu, for each unit in the network. This synchronises displays with controllers. Displays that are not synchronised do not show up-to-date information and can cause confusion. Note that interrupting power to a controller will not reset or synchronise the display after changes have been made under the Setup menu. Setting 1-1 Languages This is used to select the native language for the text-only display, as follows: 1. 2. Select the required language (e.g.) and then press Press
ESC OK
Setting 1-4 AHU service message With this selected, press OK .to provide the service message required to attach the unit to a network Master unit. Setting 1-5 Network setup When executed by pressing OK , this command instructs the controller to expect a service message (see ) from a slave unit, to create, or add to, a network. Setting 1-6 Reset display With this selected, press OK .to refresh the display. NOTE After carrying out any operations under the Setup menu, it is important to reset the display of each unit in a network, otherwise, the display may not reflect changes made. The Reset Display function is also useful to refresh the display in the unlikely event that it has become corrupted for any reason. Setting 1-7 Display type This is used to specify the type of display, according to installation preference. Options are: Local - for unit-based display (standard) Remote - for off-unit display, enabling remote monitoring Note that via the E-W password logon, the screen number for this setting is 1-10. Setting 1-7 Factory defaults Executing this command restores the controller to factory default setting values. Note that this setting is only available via the E-W password logon. Setting 1-8 Resync system This is command is used to synchronise a network slave unit to the system settings configured on the Master unit. Note that this setting is only available via the E-W password logon. Setting 1-9 Select logo This setting enables the logo to be specified for the splash screen displayed during initialisation; i.e. InvictaNET or EW. Note that this setting is only available via the E-W password logon.

Rotation period - to specify the number of whole hours before running duty changeover takes place, to equalise hours run between units. Sensor operation - to specify temperature / humidity sensor / data handling - options are: Average - which controls from an average value calculated from all operating unit sensor readings Individual - for control in response to an individual sensor From Master - for control in response to the Master units sensor only Input voltage - set the main incoming voltage to the unit. There are various options - typically: 380 V ac, 415 V ac, 440 V ac Set this to the most appropriate value for the site.
Control Functions
A controller start-up timing diagram is shown in Fig. 4-2 and it will be found helpful to refer to this while reading the following control descriptions.
Power-up condition
Assuming that the controller has already been commissioned, on powering-up, the controller is in a reset state, ready for normal operation. Operational status following power-up depends on whether an external start/stop control is fitted: No external start/stop.

INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL
If an external start/stop control is not fitted, plant equipment will be operational, subject to controller starting strategy. External start/stop or optional door switch. If an external start/stop control is fitted, plant equipment will remain idle on standby until the start signal is provided. Upon receipt of the start signal, plant equipment will be operational, subject to controller starting strategy.
Condenser operation
Apart from start/stop signals provided by the controller, condenser operation is wholly subject to control by its own controller and starter panel. Condenser control enablement and stopping is simultaneous with compressor starting and stopping.

Compressor 2 starting
For units fitted with dual refrigeration circuits, compressor 2 is only started when required to meet cooling demand and can only start if: Compressor 1 has been running for the Compressor 2 Start Delay Time of 60 seconds (default). Or: It is required to run in place of compressor 1, which is not running because of a fault condition (e.g. overload tripped). Or: Humidity override is set to <ON>. All pre-start control conditions described under Compressor and Condenser - Starting Operation on page 4-14 must be met. Control strategies described under Low pressure (LP) cut-out inhibit and Hot gas injection system on page 4-14 are applied as appropriate.

NOTES: The example shown here is for information only and assumes that a Room Temperature Set Point of 21C is required, with a Dead Band of 2C and a cooling Proportional Band of 5C. Values shown here have been selected for clarity. The default value for the Dead Band is 2C. The default value for the Proportional Band is 3C. Because Dead Band and Proportional Band setting values are both offsets from the Set Point, their true value is adjusted automatically to follow any adjustment made to the Set Point value.
Where: CD = Cooling Demand % RT = Return/room air Temperature C SP = Set Point = 21 C DB = Dead Band = 2 C PB = Proportional Band = 5 C Therefore, if return air temperature = 25 C:

CAUTION
Failure to observe the compressor manufacturers recommendations for starts per hour limiting may result in the drive motor burning out and consequential contamination of the entire refrigeration system. The Starts Per Hour Limiting Time default setting(s) should not be adjusted without permission from Eaton-Williams.
By referring to Fig. 4-3 and applying this example to a single compressor unit, it can be seen that 60 % capacity equates to the compressor running + hot gas. Whereas, applying the example to a two compressor unit, 60 % capacity equates to compressor 1 running (no hot gas).
Built-in Hysteresis
On reduction of cooling demand, control OFF signals will lag ON signals by approximately 20 to 30 % of cooling demand as follows: Example:

INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL Chilled Water Unit Cooling Duty Control
For chilled water units, the cooling duty control response is directly proportional to the demand. The controller uses the cooling Proportion, Integral and Derivative (PID) algorithm to determine control response and provides a 0 to 10 volt signal to modulate the flow control valve according to demand. The 0 to 10 volt signal provided by the controller is directly proportional to the positioning range of the flow control valve, where: 0 volts = valve fully closed 100 volts = valve fully open

INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL Economy Cooling Options
There are two types of economy cooling control option available for the IPAC range of AHUs. Fresh-Air Economy Cooling Glycol Economy Cooling Both systems can be optimised to use the relevant cooling medium, where conditions allow, to achieve the required air condition, whilst minimising the running time of the compressor or cooling plant. Basic control of fresh-air economy cooling adopts a simple strategy, which is subject to both cooling and humidity control algorithms and defined by the following settings in the Engineering AHU Menu: Economy cooling deadband value setting 6-x-14 Economy cooling proportional band value setting 6x-15 Economy cooling inhibit %RH value setting 6-x-16 Where x = the AHU number. Refer to Section 5 - INVICTANET Controller Settings Record GlyCool economy cooling (cooling air by using glycol and water cooling medium) control requires that the following items of optional equipment are installed: A modified air cooling coil block, which has an airflow-facing economy cooling coil, before the DX main cooling coil. A 3-way modulating valve A modulating valve actuator, 0 to 10 V dc A temperature sensor strapped to the cooling medium pipe Standard control philosophy operates at all times, unless: The temperature of the cooling medium entering the unit is at a predetermined value (derived from the Room Temperature Set Point) or lower. In this case, control response is to permit modulation of the 3way valve to meet GlyCool economy cooling demand (if required). The required volume of cooling medium is diverted through the economy cooling coil of the coil block, before returning to the cooled medium circuit. In this way, whenever favourable conditions exist, compressor duty is supplemented by the surplus duty performed by the dry cooler. When optimum conditions exist and all air-cooling duty can be met by the dry cooler, the controller stops the compressor. This is when GlyCool economy cooling is at its most energy-efficient. The controller will then not restart the compressor until the dry cooler is no longer able to meet the increase in cooling demand.
Electrical Heating
Electrical heater operation is only permitted when: The supply fan has been running for the Heating Start Delay Time period of 90 seconds (default). The relevant airflow switch is made (healthy). The relevant high temperature (HT) cut-out monitoring circuit is made (healthy). Up to six stages of heating can then be bought into operation and controlled according to the temperature PID algorithm; see . The controller considers the heater elements as being in two banks and controls heater contactors to give stages of zero, one third and two thirds of the full heating demand. Where a single heater bank is fitted, this is bought into operation at two-thirds of the full demand. Where two heater banks are fitted, on a rising demand, the first bank is bought into operation at one-third of the full demand. At two-thirds of full demand, the first bank is switched OFF and the second bank is bought into operation. At a full-demand condition, the first bank is bought into operation is also bought into operation. In this way, near proportional control of the heater banks is achieved. If a high temperature condition causes the HT cut-out to trip, heaters are de-energised and an urgent alarm is generated at the customer terminals and on the unit display (if fitted).

Heating capacity control
Heating capacity control is as shown in Table 4-5 or Table 4-6, depending on whether a hot gas reheat system is fitted. Note that for only one stage of electrical heating, control for this is to be connected to the second stage (heater 2) output.

Humidifier Control
Humidifier operation is only permitted when: The supply fan has been running for the Humidifier Start Delay Time period of 300 seconds (default). The airflow switch is made (healthy). For a Vapac WL humidifier, control is as follows: Note that in addition to the following description, humidification is subject to control according to the humidity PID algorithm; refer to for details. If air humidity falls below the Room Humidity Set Point of 50 % RH (default) and is below the PID dead band lower limit, the humidifier is bought into operation, initially at 20 % of its capacity. The humidifier is then capacity-modulated (range 0 to 100 % capacity), to meet humidity demand.
If humidity increases to within the PID dead band, modulation of humidifier capacity ceases. On increasing humidity, capacity is modulated downwards until it is reduced to 19 %, at which point, humidifier operation ceases. Note that if demand current is lower than running current by 10 %, the humidifier will switch off until demand is 5 % higher than the demand current was at switch-off; this is part of the Vapac WL humidifier control strategy. For a combined master/slave AHU, if humidity demand is greater than 80 % of capacity and only the master unit compressor is operating on cooling demand, control will be overridden to stop master unit compressor 1 and start slave unit compressor 2 to meet cooling demand. This is done to maximise absorption of steam generated by the humidifier in the master section of the unit.
Page 4-20
IPAC
INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL
If cooling demand then increases, requiring both compressors to run stage 3 cooling, then compressor 1 will be started to meet stage 3 duty. If humidity demand reduces to 30 %, the cooling resets to standard operation. In this way, the AHU of a master unit does not have to be the first to be installed. To avoid unacceptable surges in electrical demand during start periods, each unit follows the same sequence of equipment start delay times (e.g. supply fan, compressor, condenser, heating and humidifier) as illustrated in Fig. 4-2. Therefore, using Engineering menu level default settings, starting of units is sequential and staggered, so that simultaneous starting of units and their equipment is avoided. For standby units, starting is as described under .
Dehumidification Control
On rising humidity, where a demand for dehumidification rises from 0 to 100 %, dehumidification is bought into operation at full capacity and then modulated down to zero to match falling demand and according to the dehumidification PID control algorithm.
Duty Rotation
Where two units operate as run / standby, to equalise run times, automatic rotation of units is available.
Commissioning
Commissioning must only be carried out by Eaton-Williams authorised personnel. All commissioning is carried out at Setup and Service level menus.
Local Networking
If a group of up to ten AHUs (comprising a master and up to nine network slave AHUs) are to be locally networked, each controller must be connected to at least one other controller on the network, in any desired configuration. Connections between controllers are made using twin-core communications cable, which can be either screened or unscreened. Two terminals, Net A and Net B, are provided on each controller for making these network connections. NOTE To minimise the risk of poor connection, network cabling is to be connected direct to the controller terminals provided, not via customer terminal rails.

IPAC
INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL System Networking
Multiple network zones, each comprising a master and up to nine network slave AHUs, may be monitored and controlled from a control centre. The control centre can be either local or remote and may be networked to each zone via telecommunications links, which can be either hard-wired or wireless, depending on requirements, location, etc. Unattended control centres can also incorporate remote alarm reporting. Such a system typically includes an automatic voicedialler, which can be configured to ring a sequence of predetermined telephone contact numbers in turn, until answered. A PC fitted with a modem can then be connected to the system, which, after correct password entry, can be interrogated to evaluate the alarm and how it should be responded to. For further information on system networking, requirements and protocols for single or multiple network zones and/or remote alarm reporting, please contact Eaton-Williams. Vapac is LONMARK PARTNER and LonMark compliant. For details of external interface protocol, refer to Table 4-11. All Eaton-Williams coding is fully LON Interruptible compliant to the LONWORKS Echelon Local Operating Network (LON) standard and therefore meets registered requirements.
Trend Controller
For units that are fitted into an area controlled by a Trend BMS system, a Trend Network Interface is available. Should this be unsuitable, a Trend IQ204 controller can be fitted instead. By default, such units are fitted with a Trend FPK display. NOTE Certain IPAC range options may not be available with the Trend control option. Please contact Eaton-WIlliams for further details.
Urgent alarm
This is indicated by an animated bell icon being displayed on the System screen. An urgent alarm (see Fig. 4-4) is generated in response to a fault condition which prevents unit operation; e.g. Airflow Failure alarm.

The cause of an urgent alarm requires immediate action to correct the fault condition before the unit can restart. Any control function that is unaffected by the fault will continue to be operative.
Non-urgent alarm
This is indicated by a static bell icon, reversed-out, being displayed on the System screen) A non-urgent alarm (see Fig. 4-5) is generated in response to a fault condition, which requires attention, but does not immediately prevent a unit from operating.

Airflow failure
If supply airflow reduces to the extent that the airflow switch trips, the unit stops operating and an urgent alarm is generated at the customer terminals and on the unit display (if fitted). If the fire detection system is triggered, it will interrupt the power supply to the controller and stop the plant (including paired slave, if fitted) immediately. The display will continue to function. Note that because the signal circuit is low voltage, line losses must be allowed for, do not exceed 20 metres length of 0.5 mm2 core wiring. For longer distances, install a suitable relay device.
CAUTION
The low voltage circuit from the controller MUST be isolated from high voltage, otherwise the controller may be damaged.
Troubleshooting
The following information is provided for guidance should a problem arise relating to the controller or display.
Display Corruption
The Eaton-Williams AHU controller has been designed to be robust and reliable in operation. However, communications faults or interruptions can, in certain circumstances, corrupt the display. If the display is suspected of not functioning normally, power to the affected unit(s) should be switched OFF to power-down the controller for 30 seconds, before switching it back ON. On restoration of power, the controller and display should re-initialise and operate normally. If the problem recurs and causes a nuisance, the communications wiring and connections should be checked for continuity.
Emergency Shutdown
In an emergency, the unit must be shutdown by using the quickest means possible.
CAUTION
In an emergency, do NOT attempt to use controller functions to shutdown equipment, as this will initiate a controlled shutdown that is unlikely to be effective immediately. It is recommended that an optional external Emergency Stop button is fitted and connected into the master AHU controller power supply interlock; for details, refer to the unit wiring diagram. NOTE Each network slave AHU controller must be individually connected to an Emergency Stop button, which may be a common device. When the Emergency Stop button is pressed, it will interrupt the power supply to the controller and stop the plant (including paired slave, if fitted) immediately.
CAUTION
Do not apply high voltage to any circuit connected to the controller.
Fire Shutdown
If required, a fire shutdown remote switching device (by customer) can be connected into the master AHU controller power supply interlock; for details, refer to the unit wiring diagram. The switching device may be, for example, a function of the buildings fire alarm system controller. NOTE Each network slave AHU controller must be individually connected to the fire shutdown switching device.

Demand exists, but the unit is idle If demand is present (see Is there a demand? on page 4-25), but the appropriate process is not operating, a normal delay time may be in effect; see Fig. 4-2. If system status points 3-0-3 and 3-0-4 show no demand and this is unexpected, check the set point, 4-0-1 (temperature) or 4-0-2 (humidity) and compare this to the actual measured value shown for status point 3-0-1 (temperature) or 3-0-2 (humidity), as appropriate. Remember to take into account: Dead band control settings; see Control Functions on page 413 Override controls; see Control Functions on page 4-13 Compressor starts per hour limiting on page 4-16 Are external interlocks (if fitted) in a healthy state; e.g. Fire Shutdown on page 4-25 Is the AHU idle in standby mode? A unit in standby mode will only operate to take over the duty of another unit that becomes unavailable, or when due to take over according to run/standby rotation control settings. On the Status > AHU menu, check AHU operating mode point 3x-1, or humidifier operating mode point 3-x-2 for the humidifier (where x is the AHUs system number on the network), as appropriate; see Status menu points list on page 3-13 of Section 3. The unit process will only be operative if status is shown as online.

INVICTANET Controller Settings Record Introduction
The controller is fully described in Section 4 - INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL. Controller settings are configured during commissioning, to obtain optimum performance. On completion of commissioning, the controller settings record is to be completed for each unit before handover. Any setting that are adjusted from default values are to be recorded in the Input Value column. Any adjustment to User level setting values should be recorded, together with the date changed. Always keep the settings record up to date. Always keep the settings record in a safe place, preferably with the unit log record.
Table 5-1 : User-adjustable system settings
Note that adjustment to Engineering level settings must only be carried out by personnel who are competent in refrigeration control system configuration.
WARNING
Inappropriate setting values can adversely affect plant performance and/or operation and may result in damage to the unit or any environmentsensitive equipment that relies on unit operation. It is recommended that a copy of each appropriate settings record is kept with the plant log book. Having this information to hand will keep any down time period to a minimum, should controller settings need to be input again.

Installation - DX Units Introduction
The purpose of this section is to provide an overall guide for the installation of IPAC range AHUs and is not an exhaustive stepby-step installation guide. Each site will vary in requirements regarding layout and obstacles to overcome. If there are queries or points of uncertainty, refer to EatonWilliams for clarification. Also refer to any special instructions issued by Eaton-Williams, or their appointed distributor, for a specific project.
Fig. 6-1 : Unit lifting brackets
Arrival at Site
If any damage is found, this must be reported to Eaton-Williams, or their appointed distributor, immediately. Units are normally despatched enclosed in suitable packaging for protection during transit. The arrangement and type of packaging will vary according to the method of transportation, site location, unit type and quantity, etc. Before Acceptance: Before unpacking, check all packaging for any evidence of damage that could indicate possible damage to a unit within. Carefully remove all packaging and then thoroughly check each unit for damage. Do not allow the unit to become wet. Each unit is supplied containing a holding charge of dry nitrogen, nominal pressure 3.4 Bar g (50 psi g). Fit a calibrated test pressure gauge and check that the holding charge is intact. Report any damage or escape of holding charge to the carrier and to Eaton-Williams immediately. Eaton-Williams cannot be held responsible for any damage occurring during transit. To avoid damage to the unit or injury to personnel, observe the following points: Ensure that all lifting and handling gear, including any slings, etc., are of adequate specification and have relevant safety certificates. If the unit is to be lifted by crane or hoist, correctly sized load spreaders must be used. Ensure that the lift is vertical. Do not allow the unit to drop.
Off-loading by Crane
CAUTION
To avoid damage, load spreaders must always be used when lifting the unit by hoist or crane. Always use the specially designed lifting brackets provided by Eaton-Williams; refer to Fig. 6-1.
Off-loading by Forklift
CAUTION
The unit can be off-loaded and moved using a forklift, provided that the lift is from under the pallet; refer to
CAUTION
At NO time is the unit to be laid on its back, side or front. Doing this will cause irreparable damage. To facilitate lifting by crane or hoist, Eaton-Williams can provide specially designed lifting brackets on request. These brackets are to be fitted to the top of the unit, one at each end, as shown in Fig. 6-1.
Fig. 6-2. Lifting directly against the unit bottom will cause irreparable damage.
Moving a Unit
The unit can be moved around using appropriate equipment as illustrated in Fig. 6-2 and Fig. 6-3.
Storage
Units that are not installed directly following arrival at site must be stored in a weatherproof, dry, well-ventilated and vermin-free area.
WARNING
Lifting eyes must not be used, otherwise they may strip-out during the lift and the unit may fall.

Installation Obstructions
A number of factors must be assessed regarding the installation of air handling units. Hot water pipework - must be properly lagged to minimise heat transfer. Radiators or night storage heaters positioning. Electrical fittings and installations. Telecommunications equipment positioning. Cable tray and busbar support drop rod positioning. Cable tray and busbar distribution systems. The proximity of these items must be taken into consideration, especially in respect of any adverse affect they may have on the flow of return air.
To prevent Brinelling of bearings, units must be stored in a vibration-free area, otherwise adequate steps must be taken to prevent such damage.
Noise
The installation must be checked regarding noise levels generated during operation, to ensure that local requirements and limitations are adhered to.
CAUTION
Any leakage of holding charge must be rectified immediately. Failure to maintain the holding charge will invalidate the warranty for the unit. After rectifying the cause of any leakage, the unit must be evacuated and a holding charge of industrial grade dry nitrogen then installed to a nominal pressure of 3.4 Bar g (50 psi g).
Condensate Drain
Condensate must be arranged to discharge directly into a properly designed drain, which should be lagged. Refer to Condensate Drain on page 6 for further details.
Positioning
IPAC units are designed for indoor use only, and to locate either directly on to raised floor jacks, or onto a base plenum.
Page 6-4
IPAC
Installation - DX Units
CAUTION
For downflow units with top or back return, BEFORE positioning the unit, ensure that the aperture blanking plate is correctly positioned for airflow direction. Site refrigerant system connections (discharge line and liquid line) are terminated and capped off in the base of the unit. Each unit is despatched containing a holding charge of nitrogen. If a matched air-cooled condenser is supplied by Eaton-Williams, this is also despatched with site connections capped off and a holding charge of nitrogen. For further details, refer to the separate instruction publication for the condenser. After units have been correctly positioned and installed, interconnecting pipework can be installed between the unit and the condenser.
CAUTION
It is essential that all appropriate gaps are sealed to prevent bypassing, otherwise unit performance will be impaired. Before assembling multiple sections, ensure that the lower section is perfectly level in both planes and will remain so when the unit is mounted. Mount additional sections using the two locating pins provided. Fit the pins in opposite corners of the mating section.
WARNING
Ensure that all pipework, connections and system components are suitably pressure rated. Each refrigerant system within a unit is capped and filled with a holding charge of nitrogen, at a nominal pressure of 3.4 Bar g, before despatch from the factory. The holding charge must be vented to atmosphere immediately before opening the system envelope.
WARNING
The holding charge represents a pressure hazard. Therefore, before breaking into the system envelope, ensure that the holding charge has been vented and that the system is at atmospheric pressure. Do not leave any part of the system exposed to atmosphere any longer than is strictly necessary. When routing the pipework through the base into the unit, ensure that pipework does not obstruct airflow unnecessarily. Use only clean, hard drawn, refrigeration quality copper tubing, with wrought copper fittings. Route pipework to produce the minimum length refrigerant circuit, with swept bends. Gradient lines and install traps as shown on the pipework diagram for the site. When brazing, ensure that flux does not get inside the tubing. To prevent oxidation of the copper, a constant stream of dry nitrogen should be passed through the pipework during brazing. When installing pipework, allowance must be made for thermal movement. Piping must be arranged so that connections are not stressed. To eliminate vibration transfer, flexible connections must be used at the compressor discharge. Piping runs should be supported at 1.5 m intervals by suitable hangers or brackets. Ensure that pipework is isolated from supports by using foam insulation or similar. This will also be necessary where pipework passes through floors or walls. Where refrigerant lines are run in close proximity, they must be insulated from each other.
Floor Mounting
Front-return units can be located directly onto the floor. Before locating the unit in place, remove any flooring material. To provide an air seal, use a layer of gasket between the floor and the unit.
CAUTION
It is essential that all appropriate gaps are sealed to prevent bypassing, otherwise unit performance will be impaired. If it is suspected that the installation will be susceptible to vibration, it is recommended that the unit is seated on a 15 x 30 mm continuous strip of Tico anti-vibration packing. This will also provide a good seal.
Installation Clearances
Because the full-height doors provide full access for maintenance purpose, a unit can be installed against a wall at the back and sides as required. A clear distance of 800 mm must be allowed at the front for maintenance access. To ensure unobstructed flow of return air to the unit, a minimum distance of 300 mm must be allowed between the top of unit and the ceiling.

Installation - DX Units Interconnecting Refrigerant Pipework
Pipework connection sizes are shown inPipework connection sizes on page 2-13 of Section 2. Discharge line and liquid line sizes are as shown inDischarge line and liquid line sizes guide - DX units on page 2-14 of Section 2 , which is provided for guidance only. Observe the following points: Where vertical lift between compressor and condenser exceeds 3 metres, traps are to be fitted to return oil to the compressor. Where horizontal runs exceed 25 metres, traps should be fitted to prevent excessive oil hold-up in the system. Thereafter, U bend traps should be formed in the vertical riser at 4 metre intervals. On shutdown, these traps will retain oil and prevent it from reentering the compressor. For excessive pipe lengths, the diameter of pipes should be calculated using accepted refrigeration practice. The following information is provided as a guide: Velocities in horizontal discharge lines should be 2.6 to 12.0 m/sec. Velocity in vertical lines should be 5.0 to 15.0 m/sec. Pressure drops between compressor and condenser must not exceed 41 kPa (6 psi).
WARNING
Do NOT attempt to test relief valve opening pressure while fitted to the system. Pressure relief valves must not be isolated. Do NOT fit isolating valves. As pressure relief valves must be arranged to relieve safely to atmosphere, it is recommended that at least one is fitted in the discharge line, near the condenser and in a safe area. If a relief valve is fitted inside the building, pipework must be installed to vent to a safe area. This pipework must be adequately sized for relief purposes, according to industry safe practice.
Liquid Receiver
If pipe runs are excessively long, a liquid receiver may be required. This is to ensure that only liquid refrigerant is supplied to the thermostatic expansion valve.
WARNING
The liquid receiver must be designed to accommodate all excess liquid not required in the evaporator (air cooler) when the unit is operating at below maximum load conditions. Depending on the design and installation of the liquid receiver, it may be necessary to fit a suitably sized and rated safety pressure relief valve. This must be installed according to refrigeration industry safety regulations, legislation and equipment manufacturers instructions. On a system having long enough runs of pipework to warrant the fitting of a liquid receiver, an additional volume of oil may need to be added to the compressor to allow for wetting of the system. If there is any doubt regarding the fitting of a liquid receiver, consult Eaton-Williams, or their appointed distributor for advice.
The Vapac humidifier is an electrode boiler operating at atmospheric pressure and is designed for connection to standard mains water supply, provided local regulations for this type of equipment are observed. To eliminate possible contamination of the water supply, the humidifier has a tundish which incorporates a 25 mm vertical gap over the maximum overflow level of the fill cup and below the end of the feed pipe. Subject to local regulations, this arrangement should eliminate the need for a static tank in the supply water feed. A Water Authority approved stop cock and strainer must be fitted in the supply from the water main; use 15 mm diameter copper tube or approved equivalent material. Pre-treatment of the feed water is unnecessary, as Vapac humidifiers are designed to operate on a wide range of water qualities. The standard Vapac humidifier is not suitable for connection to a fully demineralised water supply. The water quality range of the Vapac humidifier is: Hardness 50 to 500 ppm (mg/l) Conductivity 80 to 1000 microsiemens Water Pressure 0.30 to 8.00 bar g
Condensate Drain
The condensate drain runs from the condensate tray to the base of the unit in 13 mm internal diameter clear, flexible hose, which is looped within the unit to from a trap. If a humidifier is fitted, the condensate and humidifier drain lines are commoned-up, before the trap, using an equal tee piece to provide a single 13 mm internal diameter drain connection. The external drain line must be connected to the drain line hose and should provide a continuous fall to an open drain.
CAUTION
The unit is fitted with an internal condensate trap, do not fit an external trap. If a Vapac humidifier is installed, any plastic piping and fittings must be rated for use at 100 C.

IPAC
Installation - DX Units Power Supply
Units must be provided with a reliable power supply of 380/415 Vac, 3 ph, 50 Hz. Ensure that the supply is adequately rated to meet maximum demand; for details refer to unit wiring diagrams. It is recommended that an external local isolator is fitted, preferably one that incorporates an Emergency Stop button.
Fig. 6-4 : Electrical connection points
Emergency Stop
To enable the unit to be shutdown quickly in an emergency, it is recommended that an Emergency Stop button is fitted, either as part of an external isolator or as a separate control.
Electrical Connections
All IPAC units have bottom left hand cable entry as standard. Connection points are shown in Fig. 6-4 and Fig. 6-5. Main incoming power supply is connected to a main isolator, fitted master units only. Slave units are powered via controls in the master unit. All terminals for customer connection of power supply and control circuits are adjacent to the cable entry point, inside the lower left hand side of the unit. Note the following points: Do not run power and signal wiring close together. If it is necessary for signal wiring to cross power cables, ensure that they cross at right angles to each other. For details of mains power supply and control circuits, refer to specific unit wiring diagrams.
WARNING
The unit isolator must remain in the OFF position until pre-commissioning checks have been carried out, which are part of the commissioning procedure.
Air-cooled Condenser
The power supply (normally single phase) to the condenser is taken from the dedicated terminal in the unit (master).
WARNING
If a voltage hazardous to life is connected to the volt-free contacts of the fault relay at the motherboard, this voltage may be present even when the unit isolator is switched OFF. Appropriate notices must be fixed to the unit to warn of this hazard.

Table 6-1 : Crankcase oil heater requirement criteria
The system has been inoperative for a period of time, or: During an off-cycle, when refrigerant can migrate back to the crankcase due to prevailing system temperatures; e.g. if the compressor is cooler than the condenser or evaporator. Because compressors fitted to IPAC units are able to cope with limited quantities of liquid refrigerant in flooded conditions, no crankcase oil heater is required when the system charge does not exceed the appropriate value in Table 6-1. Provided that there is no down time (i.e. normal operation is continuous throughout the year) and the system charge does not exceed the appropriate value in the table above, then crankcase oil heating is not a requirement. When installing heaters, follow the manufacturers instructions. Make electrical connections to the existing sleeved-off wiring in the unit. Refer to the electrical schematic wiring diagram for each unit, including slave units (where applicable).
Before carrying out the procedure, ensure that all personnel not essential for testing are at a safe distance. Place warning notices wherever appropriate around the site, advising of the hazard. 1. To avoid the need to open up the system later, first check the compressor oil level sight-glass to ensure that the oil level is correct. 2. Remove the system HP and LP (suction) pressure switches and in their place fit calibrated test pressure gauges. For details, refer to the system piping and instrument schematic diagram for the unit. 3. Connect a cylinder of test gas, such as Protec 5 (for an R22 system, use industrial grade dry nitrogen), to the charging point in the discharge line.
WARNING
Do NOT use any gas other than either a proprietary test gas, such as Protec 5 or dry nitrogen (as appropriate). Do NOT use oxygen or acetylene. Ensure that the charging line is adequately pressure rated and designed for use with refrigerant. Purge the charging line of air and then initially charge the system to a gauge pressure of 1.4 bar g (20 psig). Over a period of 15 minutes, monitor pressure gauges for indication of any leakage. Use leak disclosing fluid to locate the source of any leakage.
WARNING
Before carrying out the combined strength and leak test, consideration must be given to the relieving pressure of any additional pressure relief devices, such as bursting discs, that may be fitted by a third party, etc. The combined strength and leak test requires the system to be pressurised to 31.0 bar g (440 psi g). Carry out a combined strength and leak pressure test on each refrigeration system as follows:
WARNING
Do NOT attempt to carry out repairs or rectify leaks while the system is under pressure. In the case of any leakage, the test charge must be removed, the cause of leakage rectified and then steps 2 and 3 repeated. 4. Provided that there has been no leakage, continue to charge the system, gradually and in stages, until a test gauge pressure of 31.0 bar g (440 psi g) is reached.
CAUTION
Pressure testing is a potentially hazardous procedure and involves applying high pressure to the system.
Page 6-8
IPAC
Installation - DX Units
WARNING
Do NOT raise system pressure straight up to test pressure. Raise the pressure gradually and in stages, allowing pressure to stabilise at each stage. At each stage of pressurisation, monitor pressure gauges for any indication of leakage. When the test pressure is reached, disconnect and remove the test charge cylinder. Note the pressure and ambient temperature. Leave the system to stand and over a period of 24 hours, monitor pressure gauges, from a safe distance, for indication of any leakage. 5. Start the vacuum pump and evacuate the system down to 0.5 Torr. Note that for dehydration to be effective, an ambient temperature of at least 7 C is required. If necessary, use heaters to warm the surroundings. 6. Leave the unit to stand for approximately 4 hours. Any rise in pressure during this period indicates that there is either moisture in the system, or a leak. Repeat the evacuation at intervals until the system can stand for 4 hours without pressure rising by more than 0.25 Torr. Failure to maintain a vacuum without pressure rising by more than 0.25 Torr indicates that there is a leak, which must be rectified and then the pressure and leak testing procedure repeated. 7. Switch off and disconnect the vacuum pump and vacuum test pressure gauge. 8. Refit the system HP and LP pressure switches. Provided that the evacuation has been successful, the system is now ready for Initial Charging With Refrigerant.
WARNING
Do NOT approach any part of the system while it is undergoing pressure testing. At the end of 24 hours check that pressure has been held, taking into account any variations caused by changes in ambient conditions. In the case of any leakage, at any time during pressurisation or while standing under test pressure, the test charge must be removed, the cause of leakage rectified and then steps 2 to 4 repeated. 5. On satisfactory completion of the pressure and leak test, vent the system down to a pressure just above atmospheric, ready for evacuation prior to charging. If the system is not to be evacuated and then charged with refrigerant immediately following strength and leak pressure testing, only reduce system pressure to a holding charge pressure of 3.4 bar g (50 psi g). On completion of the combined strength and leak pressure test, each refrigeration circuit must undergo Evacuation and Dehydration on page 9.
WARNING
Do NOT operate the compressor while the system is under vacuum. Do NOT use the compressor to evacuate the system. 1. If the system still contains a holding charge, vent the system down to a pressure just above atmospheric. 2. Remove the HP and LP pressure gauges. 3. Fit a barometrically compensated vacuum test gauge to the system. 4. Connect a suitable vacuum pump to the HP and LP sides of the system.
Document 0410536
Page 6-9
IPAC
Installation - DX Units
CAUTION
Until system pressure has been raised above atmospheric, only admit small quantities of refrigerant, otherwise violent cooling may cause thermal shock to system components. The system needs to be charged on the HP AND LP sides of the compressor. Add the charge gradually and in stages, until as much as possible of the estimated charge has been added to the system. For the estimated weight of initial charge, refer to Technical data on page 2-8 of Section 2. During charging, if system and cylinder pressures equalise, the flow of refrigerant into the system will cease. To encourage further charge to enter the system, place the cylinder in a bucket of warm water to increase cylinder pressure.
Condensate pumps
Cold water Position underneath outlet. Site fit. Hot water As above but non-return valve needs to be fitted after discharge pump. All materials used must be suitable for use up to 100C.
Oil separators
Site fitted, follow manufacturers installation instructions.
WARNING
Do NOT use a flame or heat gun to warm the cylinder, otherwise it may rupture. When as much as possible of the estimated weight of charge has been added, stop charging, isolate the cylinder of refrigerant at the cylinder and disconnect the cylinder.
WARNING
The charging line contains liquid refrigerant under high pressure. Adequate precautions must be taken to avoid freeze burns to the face, eyes and skin. 3. Record the weight of refrigerant charged into the unit. Any final charging must be carried out (by customer) during commissioning. 4. When pressure has stabilised throughout the system, record HP and LP pressure gauge readings; these should be equal. At regular intervals, monitor pressure gauges for any indication of leakage. 5. Disconnect and remove the cylinder of refrigerant. Initial charging is now complete and this also completes the installation procedure. If necessary, any final charging is carried out during commissioning. The unit is now ready for commissioning as described in Section 8 - Commissioning - DX Units.

Installation - Chilled Water Units Introduction
The purpose of this section is to provide an overall guide for the installation of IPAC range AHUs and is not an exhaustive stepby-step installation guide. Each site will vary in requirements regarding layout and obstacles to overcome. If there are queries or points of uncertainty, refer to EatonWilliams for clarification. Also refer to any special instructions issued by Eaton-Williams, or their appointed distributor, for a specific project.
Fig. 7-1 : Unit lifting brackets
Arrival at Site
If any damage is found, this must be reported to Eaton-Williams, or their appointed distributor, immediately. Units are normally despatched enclosed in suitable packaging for protection during transit. The arrangement and type of packaging will vary according to the method of transportation, site location, unit type and quantity, etc. Before Acceptance: Before unpacking, check all packaging for any evidence of damage that could indicate possible damage to a unit within. Carefully remove all packaging and then thoroughly check each unit for damage. Do not allow the unit to become wet. Each unit is supplied containing a holding charge of dry nitrogen, nominal pressure 3.4 bar g (50 psi g). Fit a calibrated test pressure gauge and check that the holding charge is intact. Report any damage or escape of holding charge to the carrier and to Eaton-Williams immediately. Eaton-Williams cannot be held responsible for any damage occurring during transit. To avoid damage to the unit or injury to personnel, observe the following points: Ensure that all lifting and handling gear, including any slings, etc., are of adequate specification. If the unit is to be lifted by crane or hoist, correctly sized load spreaders must be used. Ensure that the lift is vertical. Do not allow the unit to drop.
Off-loading by Crane
CAUTION
To avoid damage, load spreaders must always be used when lifting the unit by hoist or crane. Always use the specially designed lifting brackets provided by Eaton-Williams; refer to Fig. 7-1.
Off-loading by Forklift
CAUTION
The unit can be off-loaded and moved using a forklift, provided that the lift is from under the pallet; refer to Fig. 7-2. Lifting directly against the unit bottom will cause irreparable damage.
CAUTION
At NO time is the unit to be laid on its back, side or front. Doing this will cause irreparable damage. To facilitate lifting by crane or hoist, Eaton-Williams can provide specially designed lifting brackets on request. These brackets are to be fitted to the top of the unit, one at each end, as shown in Fig. 7-1.
Moving a Unit
The unit can be moved around using appropriate equipment as illustrated in Fig. 7-2 and Fig. 7-3.
Storage
Units that are not installed directly following arrival at site must be stored in a weatherproof, dry, well-ventilated and vermin-free area. To prevent Brinelling of bearings, units must be stored in a vibration-free area, otherwise adequate steps must be taken to prevent such damage.
WARNING
Lifting eyes must not be used, otherwise they may strip-out during the lift.

The proximity of these items must be taken into consideration, especially in respect of any adverse affect they may have on the flow of return air.
Noise
The installation must be checked regarding noise levels generated during operation, to ensure that local requirements and limitations are adhered to.
Condensate Drain
Condensate must be arranged to discharge directly into a properly designed drain. Refer to for further details.
CAUTION
IPAC range AHUs are designed for indoor use only. For downflow units with top or back return, BEFORE positioning the unit, ensure that the aperture blanking plate is correctly positioned for airflow direction.

IPAC
Installation - Chilled Water Units
Floor Mounting
Front-return units can be located directly onto the floor. To provide an air seal, use a layer of gasket between the floor and the unit. If it is suspected that the installation will be susceptible to vibration, it is recommended that the unit is seated on a 15 x 30 mm continuous strip of Tico anti-vibration packing. This will also provide a good seal. Piping runs should be supported at 1.5 m intervals by suitable hangers or brackets. Ensure that pipework is isolated from supports by using foam insulation or similar. This will also be necessary where pipework passes through floors or walls. Where lines are run together, they must be insulated from each other. When installing pipework, allowance must be made for thermal movement. Piping must be arranged so that connections are not stressed.
Installation Clearances
Because the full-height doors provide full access for maintenance purpose, a unit can be installed against a wall at the back and sides as required. A clear distance of 800 mm must be allowed at the front for maintenance access. To ensure unobstructed flow of return air to the unit, a minimum distance of 300 mm must be allowed between the top of unit and the ceiling.
The Vapac humidifier is an electrode boiler operating at atmospheric pressure and is designed for connection to standard mains water supply, provided local regulations for this type of equipment are observed. To eliminate possible contamination of the water supply, the humidifier has a tundish which incorporates a 25 mm vertical gap over the maximum overflow level of the fill cup and below the end of the feed pipe. Subject to local regulations, this arrangement should eliminate the need for a static tank in the supply water feed. A Water Authority approved stop cock and strainer must be fitted in the supply from the water main; use 15 mm diameter copper tube or approved equivalent material. Pre-treatment of the feed water is unnecessary, as Vapac humidifiers are designed to operate on a wide range of water qualities. The standard Vapac humidifier is not suitable for connection to a fully demineralised water supply. The Vapac humidifier water quality range is: Hardness 50 to 500 ppm (mg/l) Conductivity 80 to 1000 microsiemens Water Pressure 0.30 to 8.00 bar g After connecting the water supply to the humidifier, fill the pipework and check for leaks; repair as necessary, adopting the procedure described under .

Installation - Chilled Water Units Condensate Drain
The condensate drain runs from the condensate tray to the base of the unit in 13 mm internal diameter clear, flexible hose, which is looped within the unit to from a trap. If a humidifier is fitted, the condensate and humidifier drain lines are commoned-up, before the trap, using an equal tee piece to provide a single 13 mm internal diameter drain connection. The external drain line must be connected to the drain line hose and should provide a continuous fall to an open drain.
Fig. 7-4 : Electrical connection points
CAUTION
The unit is fitted with an internal condensate trap, do not fit an external trap. If a Vapac humidifier is installed, any plastic piping and fittings must be rated for use at 100 C.
Power Supply
Units must be provided with a reliable power supply of 380/415 Vac, 3 ph, 50 Hz. Ensure that the supply is adequately rated to meet maximum demand; for details refer to unit wiring diagrams. It is recommended that an external isolator is fitted, preferably one that incorporates an Emergency Stop button.
Emergency Stop
To enable the unit to be shutdown quickly in an emergency, it is recommended that an Emergency Stop button is fitted, either as part of an external isolator or as a separate control.
Electrical Connections
All IPAC units have bottom left hand cable entry as standard. Connection points are shown in Fig. 7-4 and Fig. 7-5. Main incoming power supply is connected to a main isolator, fitted master units only. Slave units are powered via controls in the master unit. All terminals for customer connection of power supply and control circuits are adjacent to the cable entry point, inside the lower left hand side of the unit. Note the following points: Do not run power and signal wiring close together. If it is necessary for signal wiring to cross power cables, ensure that they cross at right angles to each other. For details of mains power supply and control circuits, refer to specific unit wiring diagrams.
Contact function is: Closed circuit (contact makes) = Unit Run Open circuit (contact breaks) = Unit Stop
WARNING
The unit isolator must remain in the OFF position until pre-commissioning checks have been carried out, which are part of the commissioning procedure.
Completion of Installation
On completion of installation, the unit is now ready for commissioning as described in Section 9 - Commissioning - CW Units.

Commissioning - DX Units Introduction
The purpose of this section is to describe pre-commissioning, checking and final commissioning for a typical installation equipped with IPAC air handling units fitted with DX cooling. Information provided in this section is intended for guidance only and is not an exhaustive step-by-step commissioning guide. Although similar in function, each installation will have characteristics peculiar to it. Any queries or points of uncertainty should be discussed with the Eaton-Williams Commissioning Supervisor for clarification. All results and readings, observed or calculated, should be recorded in a logbook. For multiple installations, these instructions are to be carried out for each separate unit and (where applicable) for each refrigeration circuit of the unit. For each test that generates an alarm, restore normal conditions and then clear the alarm before moving on to next step. 5. Check that the main isolator and all circuit breakers in the unit are in the OFF position. 6. Check the unit casing for damage and check that all doors and covers seal correctly against mating surfaces. 7. Unlock and open front access doors. 8. Check all items within unit to ensure that they have not become loose, dislodged, or damaged in transit. 9. Check that the earth connection is correctly made to both the isolator and the unit. 10. Check that the earth connection is made correctly to any metal drain and water supply pipes for the Vapac humidifier, (if fitted). 11. Check that all mains electrical connections are tight and secure. 12. Check for free rotation of fans. Inspect for damage and remove any debris.
WARNING
Although a fan may be OFF, its impeller may still be induced to rotate at considerable speed, driven by inlet/outlet pressure differences caused by other equipment or local conditions. Beware of this potential hazard and take precautions to avoid injury - DO NOT use fingers to check for free rotation, instead, use a piece of stiff card. Do not use a material that may damage the impeller or break up. 13. If ductwork is fitted to supply or discharge, check that mating surfaces are sealed. 14. Check that insulation is securely fastened to panels. 15. Check the external drain connection by pouring water into the condensate tray to prime the trap. Check for leaks and that the water drains correctly. NOTE The unit is fitted with an internal condensate trap, do not fit an external trap. 16. Check water supply and drain connections for the Vapac humidifier (if fitted). 17. Check the steam line and its connections (units fitted with a Vapac humidifier). 18. Check the unit log record for the pressure and charge weight that was recorded during the last stages of installation. If there any is indication of leakage, this must be rectified (by customer) before commissioning can proceed further. 19. Check that air filters are fitted correctly. 20. Check that refrigeration system pressure switches and their connections are secure. 21. Inspect all internal electrical wiring and terminations. 22. Check for free operation of all contactors. 23. Check that fuses are in position and correctly rated according to the wiring diagram.
WARNING
To prevent personnel from restoring power to the unit, place warning notices where applicable.

Commissioning - DX Units
24. For ducted systems, check that any manually operated dampers are correctly positioned to achieve design operation. 25. Close all windows and doors to the equipment room. 8. If airflow is incorrect, check possible causes. If incorrect airflow is due to non-standard external resistance, check whether this is acceptable, or whether the fan drive ratio needs to be modified to obtain design airflow. 9. Using a clip-on ammeter, measure fan operating currents and record readings in the commissioning log. 10. Switch all circuit breakers to ON. 11. Check the Airflow Failure control function: 12. Adjust the air switch up to 5.0 mbar. A prompt alarm is generated at the customer terminals and the unit display (if fitted). 13. After testing, re-adjust the airflow switch setting to 0.5 mbar.
Electrical
1. Check that the main isolator and all circuit breakers in the unit are in the OFF position 2. Disable compressor starting by disconnecting compressor(s) supply from the contactor(s). 3. At the external isolator or distribution board, switch ON the power supply to the unit. 4. Check that the mains supply voltage at the unit input terminals is correct: 5. Phase to Phase = 380 to 415 V ac 6. Phase to Neutral = 220 to 240 V ac 7. Check that connections to the transformer are correct for the supply to the unit according to the wiring diagram.
WARNING
Incorrect connection to the transformer may result in damage to the control system. 8. Check the function of each EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN facility (where fitted). 9. Check for correct operation of the controller display on the front of the unit; refer to Section 4 - INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL for details.
WARNING
Remember that the unit is now live - extreme caution must be exercised at all times. Switch ON fan MPCBs in the control section. This enables fan(s) operation on automatic control. Switch ON control circuit MCBs. Unit is now under automatic control. After a period of 30 seconds (nominal), fan(s) will start. Airflow failure monitoring alarm is delayed for a further 20 seconds. Check for direction of fan rotation and listen for any adverse noises. Using an anemometer, check supply fan airflow at the return air grille/opening. Check that airflow is within 10 % of design; refer to Technical data on page 2-8 of Section 2. If airflow is correct, record the reading in the unit commissioning log.

WARNING
During this procedure, do NOT permit pressure to rise above the leak test pressure of 31.0 bar g (440 psi g). If necessary, stop the unit immediately. With the unit running in cooling mode, partly cover the condenser coil, or switch OFF the condenser fan. 2. Check that check that HP pressure switch operates at the correct pressure and shuts down the relevant compressor. A Prompt alarm is generated at the customer terminals and on the unit display (if fitted). 3. After testing, restore condenser cooling. 4. Disconnect and remove the temperature simulation resistance that was installed at step 1 of 8-1.
1. So that changes in air temperature can be simulated for testing, connect a variable resistance box, or 0 to 20 k ohm potentiometer, to the return air sensor connection on the unit controller; refer to the unit wiring diagram. 2. Heater check (if applicable): 3. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to 5.5 C, at which point the heating is brought into operation. This is checked using a clip-on ammeter and the reading then recorded. 4. Check that the overheating cut-out functions correctly by setting the temperature simulation resistance to 24 C. 5. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to: 40 C - check high temperature alarm. 05 C - check low temperature alarm. 6. Switch OFF the main isolator. Reconnect compressor wiring to the contactor.
Final Charging
For this type of DX system, the maximum volume of refrigerant charge is required when the unit is running at design load conditions. The system is fully charged when the point is reached that there are no bubbles visible in the moisture indicating sight glass in the liquid line. Top-up the system charge as follows: 1. Arrange a cylinder of the correct refrigerant for the unit so that only liquid will be charged. NOTE The weight of charge added to the unit must be recorded. 2. Operate the unit at design load conditions. 3. Add liquid-only refrigerant via manifold into the suction line, gradually and in stages, allowing system operating conditions to stabilise each time after adding liquid.
Condenser
Switch the condenser isolator ON and then carry out commissioning checks according to the condenser instruction manual.
WARNING
Do not overcharge the system. Do not add any more refrigerant than is necessary to produce a bubble-free moisture indicating sight glass, otherwise the system will be overcharged and likely to result in high pressure cut-out trips when the unit is run at maximum load. 4. Update the unit log record to show the charge weight and pressure.
Start-up Control
1. Switch the main isolator ON. 2. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to 35 C - to generate a cooling required / start refrigeration condition. Check that start delays are correct for the controller.

3. Disconnect the temperature simulation resistance and reconnect the temperature sensor. Ensure that any witness signatures are obtained before handover. Keys should be handed over to the Officer or Site Manager in charge.
Room Balancing
It is recommended that the entire environmental control installation is fully commissioned (by customer) before being brought into service.
Leaving Site
Before leaving site: Ensure that all covers are located and fitted correctly, are airtight and locked. Finally check that unit(s) are left in good order and (if required) switch OFF the supply at the external isolator or distribution board. Ensure that all tools and test instruments are removed from site. Finally check through the documentation to ensure that all aspects have been covered.

Commissioning - CW Units Introduction
The purpose of this section is to describe pre-commissioning, checking and final commissioning for a typical installation equipped with IPAC air handling units. Information provided in this section is intended for guidance only and is not an exhaustive step-by-step commissioning guide. Although similar in function, each installation will have characteristics peculiar to it. Any queries or points of uncertainty should be discussed with the Eaton-Williams Commissioning Supervisor for clarification. All results and readings, observed or calculated, should be recorded in a logbook. For multiple installations, these instructions are to be carried out for each separate unit and (where applicable) for each system circuit of the unit. For each test that generates an alarm, restore normal conditions and then clear the alarm before moving on to next step. 5. Check that each cooling and heating pipework circuit has been connected correctly and that flow and return connections are correct. This may seem obvious, but it is surprisingly easy for system pipework to be inadvertently cross-connected during installation. 6. Check that all pipework is insulated correctly, including any through-wall pipework. 7. Check that all unit coil vent and drain valves are closed. 8. Fill the cooling system circuit by opening appropriate isolating valves. Purge as much air as possible from the system by using the highest of any manually operated external vent valves. Check the system for leaks and make any repairs as necessary. 9. After allowing the system to fill as much as possible, start the cooling system circulating pump. Continue to purge as much air as possible from the system. 10. Purge air from the coil by partially opening the cooling coil vent valve. When all air has been purged from the coil, close the vent valve. For multiple installations, purge all air from the unit closest to the pump in the system circuit flow first. Then proceed to the next closest and so on round the system circuit until each unit has been purged of air. NOTE Failure to purge all air from the system and coil block will result in poor performance from the unit. 11. Repeat steps 8 to 10 for the heating system and each unit heating coil (if fitted). 12. Ensure that the power supply is of the correct voltage and that all electrical connections made at site are correct. 13. Ensure that external controls, such as Fire Shutdown, and Smoke Detection (if fitted) are in the MADE (closed circuit) state. If these functions are not installed, ensure that the appropriate terminals are linked-out in accordance with the wiring diagram. 14. Check that the power supply to the unit is switched OFF at the external isolator or distribution board. For increased safety, remove any fuses in the power supply to the unit. 15. Check that the main isolator and all circuit breakers in the unit are in the OFF position. 16. Check the unit casing for damage and check that all doors and covers seal correctly against mating surfaces. 17. Unlock and open front access doors. 18. Check all items within unit to ensure that they have not become loose, dislodged, or damaged in transit. 19. Check that the earth connection is correctly made to both the isolator and the unit.
WARNING
Do NOT supply power to the unit while carrying out this part of the commissioning procedure. Carry out the following in order of sequence. 1. Remove any remaining packing material from the outside of the unit. 2. Check that the earth connection is correctly made to the unit. 3. Check that the earth connection is correctly made to flow and return pipework and any metal condensate drain pipes (where fitted). 4. Ensure that all units, duct work and louvres are clean and free of any installation debris. The area must be made clean of light litter, such as sawdust or paper particles, that may become airborne and clog the air filter(s).

Preventative and General Maintenance Introduction
The purpose of this section is to provide an overall guide for first line preventive maintenance tasks for standard IPAC range units and is not an exhaustive step-by-step maintenance guide.
WARNING
Failure to carry out maintenance can result in component failure. Eaton-Williams cannot be held responsible for damage, injury or death resulting from failure to carry out maintenance and testing procedures correctly at specified or recommended intervals. If there are any points of uncertainty, refer to Eaton-Williams for clarification. Also refer to any special instructions issued by Eaton-Williams for a specific project. Maintenance Checklists are provided under and should also be completed by the Service Engineer, following routine maintenance.
WARNING
Failure to carry out correct maintenance of any evaporative condenser or cooling tower can result in an outbreak of Legionnaires Disease, which causes serious illness and death. Eaton-Williams cannot be held responsible for consequences arising from failure of the owner/ user to carry out maintenance correctly and at specified intervals according to the manufacturers instructions and current legislation covering this type of plant. Before carrying out any maintenance, always check to establish the type of primary cooling system. Wherever an evaporative condenser/cooling tower is used, establish the maintenance status. If it is suspected that maintenance of an evaporative condenser or cooling tower has lapsed, DO NOT carry out any work until maintenance has been carried out on the evaporative condenser/cooling tower according to the manufacturers instructions and current legislation covering this type of plant. NEVER operate a unit if it is suspected that there is risk of air contaminated with Legionnella bacteria being produced or drawn into the building. For information on the prevention of Legionnaires disease, consult the local water authority or appropriate government department.
Maintenance Checklist
The following Maintenance Checklists are provided: DX units - see Table 10-1 on page 4 Chilled water units - see Table 10-2 on page 6 These are designed for quick reference and contain all relevant items detailed in the above procedures. Cross references are provided for each topic. Checkboxes are provided so that each item can be ticked on completion. It is recommended that a copy of the appropriate checklist is made so that checkboxes can be ticked against each item as it is completed. The checklist should then be signed and dated.

Preventative and General Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Tasks
Carry out preventive maintenance by adhering to the following procedures: NOTE If the installation comprises a master with network slave units, when the master unit power supply is isolated, all slave units will continue to operate under their own default control. Where possible, avoid switching OFF more than one air handling unit at a time. One at a time, carefully remove each filter panel from the framework, taking care not to release any dust. See Figs. 10-1 to 10-3. Ideally, bag-up filters and take them to a suitable area where cleaning can take place. 5. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean each filter in turn. If necessary, loosen particles by gently rapping the filter against a wall; ensure that a mask is worn while doing this. NOTE Cleaning will not remove all discolouration from the filter surface. Standard filters are not washable. 6. If filters are to be renewed instead of cleaned, seal them in a dustbin liner for disposal. 7. Install cleaned or new filter panels by placing them into the unit frame and fitting the retaining bar. NOTE Ensure that air filter surfaces are fitted in the correct orientation for the airflow, otherwise, when the unit next starts, residual dust particles will be driven from filter surfaces and enter the supply airflow to the room. The plain (or dirty) surface of the filter must face into the airflow.
Fig. 10-1 : Filter arrangement
WARNING
You should NEVER attempt to test a pressure relief device.
Air Filters
All air filters in a unit should be cleaned or renewed at the same time and at a frequency that, from experience of operating the unit, is known to just precede a FILTER BLOCKED alarm. NOTE Discolouring is not a cause for changing the filters, as filter efficiency increases as they become slightly dirty. Not until airflow is restricted, should filters be changed. A FILTER BLOCKED alarm is indicated when airflow becomes too restricted. If it is necessary to renew any air filter, all other air filters of a unit should also be renewed at the same time, otherwise airflow through unit will be imbalanced and could adversely affect unit performance. Clean or renew air filters as follows: 1. Switch OFF the unit external isolator (if fitted).
WARNING
Lock the isolator in the OFF position. If this cannot be done, place a suitable notice to prevent the isolator from being inadvertently switched ON by other personnel. 2. Open the unit door panel(s). 3. Switch OFF the internal isolator (if fitted). 4. Filters are released for removal by sliding the retaining bar upwards until it can pass outwards through the slot in the framework and be removed.
WARNING
The unit must remain electrically isolated while carrying out these procedures. 1. Vacuum and clean out the inside of the cabinet, paying particular attention to all surfaces.
Page 10-8
IPAC
Preventative and General Maintenance
Fig. 10-2 : Removing a filter retaining bar
5. Check the condition of electrical connections to heater elements (if fitted). 6. Check all wiring for damage to insulation and tightness of electrical connections. 7. For DX units, closely inspect compressor anti-vibration mountings for signs of wear or failure.
WARNING
The unit must remain electrically isolated while carrying out this procedure. NOTE In units fitted with a Vapac humidifier option, water condition and humidity demands determine the effective life of the steam cylinder. For example, areas with soft water will have longer service life from a steam cylinder than areas with hard water. 1. Remove and clean the strainer in the water supply solenoid valve; renew if necessary. 2. Clean and inspect the drain pump. 3. Inspect the Vapac steam cylinder; renew if necessary. 4. Restore the unit to operational condition.
WARNING
Although a fan may be OFF, its impeller may still be induced to rotate at considerable speed, driven by inlet/outlet pressure differences caused by other equipment or local conditions. Beware of this potential hazard and take precautions to avoid injury - DO NOT use fingers to check for free rotation, instead, use a piece of stiff card. Do not use a material that may damage the impeller or break up.

7. Open the return isolating valve to re-unite the unit with the chilled water system. 8. Recheck for leaks and, if necessary, repeat the procedure until satisfied that the unit is free of leaks. DO NOT permit pressure to rise above the pressure switch setting. 1. Stop the unit and switch OFF the unit isolator.
WARNING
Lock the isolator in the OFF position. If this cannot be done, place a suitable notice to prevent the isolator from being inadvertently switched ON by other personnel. Disconnect and remove the HP high pressure cut-out from the unit. Connect the HP cut-out, via a pressure regulator that incorporates a test pressure gauge, to a cylinder of nitrogen. Connect a meter or test lamp to the cut-out terminals, so that cut-out function can be monitored. While monitoring the gauge pressure, gradually increase pressure to the HP cut-out until the trip setting of 28 bar g (400 psi g) is reached and the cut-out contacts break circuit.
2. 3. 4. 5.
WARNING
The following procedures are carried out while the unit power supply is live. Beware of electrical hazards and rotating machinery. Adopt safe working procedures at all times.
WARNING
DO NOT permit pressure to rise above the pressure switch setting If the cut-out fails to trip at the correct setting, it must be replaced by one that does.
WARNING
NEVER allow the unit to operate with a faulty HP pressure switch or one that is not set correctly. 6. Provided that the HP cut-out trips at the correct setting, refit it to the unit and ensure that electrical connections are remade correctly. 7. Start the unit and check that when the HP pressure switch circuit trips, the control system shuts down the relevant compressor. A Prompt alarm is generated at the customer terminals and on the unit display (if fitted).
WARNING
DO NOT permit pressure to rise above the pressure switch setting. If necessary, shut down the plant immediately. 8. Repeat the above procedure for each HP switch fitted.
Flood Detector Test (if fitted) and Condensate Pump (if fitted)
Manually trip the flood detection circuit by linking it out. A Prompt alarm is generated at the customer terminals and on the unit display (if fitted). Check and operate the condensate pump.
WARNING
The following procedure is potentially hazardous. Adequate safety precautions must be taken to guard against damage or injury being caused by component failure at high pressure. Steps 3, 4 and 5 must be carried out in a safe area.
Page 10-10
IPAC

4. Connect a meter or test lamp to the cut-out terminals, so that cut-out function can be monitored. 5. While monitoring the gauge pressure, gradually increase pressure to the LP cut-out until just above the trip setting of 0.5 bar g (7 psi g) and the cut-out contacts make circuit. 4. Check that the high temperature cut-out functions correctly by setting the temperature simulation resistance accordingly. 5. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to: 40 C - check high temperature alarm. 05 C - check low temperature alarm.
WARNING
DO NOT permit pressure to rise above the pressure switch setting. 6. Turn on the unit isolator and allow the unit to start.
Controller Functions
1. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to 35 C and check start delay times for: 2. Supply air fan(s) - all units Compressor(s) and condenser(s) - DX units Heater(s) (if fitted) Humidifier (if fitted) For two-circuit chilled water units, check that cooling circuits stage-in and stage-out correctly by adjusting temperature simulation resistance accordingly. 3. For two-compressor DX units, check that compressors stagein and stage-out correctly by adjusting temperature simulation resistance accordingly. 4. Disconnect the temperature simulation resistance and then re-connect the air temperature sensor.
WARNING
The unit is now operating without the protection of the LP cut-out. Do not allow the unit to operate like this any longer than absolutely necessary. 7. Gradually reduce pressure to the LP cut-out setting. Verify that the control system shuts down the relevant compressor. A Prompt alarm is generated at the customer terminals and on the unit display (if fitted). If the cut-out fails to trip at the correct setting, it must be replaced by one that does.
WARNING
NEVER allow the unit to operate with a faulty LP pressure switch or one that is not set correctly. 8. Provided that the LP cut-out trips at the correct setting, refit it to the unit and ensure that electrical connections are remade correctly.
Temperature Controls
1. So that changes in air temperature can be simulated for testing, connect a variable resistance box, (or 0 to 20 k ohm potentiometer) to the return air sensor connection on the unit controller; refer to the unit wiring diagram. 2. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to reflect a low temperature to bring the heating element (if fitted) into operation. 3. Adjust temperature simulation resistance to reflect a rising temperature and note at which point the heating element (if fitted) ceases operation. This is checked using a clip-on ammeter.

Fault Finding Procedures Introduction
This section provides basic information on fault diagnosis for various types of air handling units in the IPAC range. If the controller display is blank, see Display Corruption on page 4-25 of Section 4. If the controller display is functioning and not showing a fault alarm, but the unit is not operating when it is suspected that it ought to, see and . If the unit is a network slave and not fitted with a controller display, check the units status on the network master. Depending on the units status, see , and , as appropriate. Before moving to more in-depth fault finding, it is always worth checking the following points:
WARNING
Before carrying out any work on the unit, ensure that it is electrically isolated. Lock the isolator in the OFF position. If this cannot be done, place a suitable notice to prevent the isolator from being inadvertently switched ON by other personnel. The information provided here is not exhaustive, but is designed to assist and minimise the effort required to identify a fault condition, should one arise. Carrying out fault diagnosis requires a thorough understanding of the operation and requirements of the plant.
Is Power Available?
If the unit is apparently dead, eliminate these obvious possibilities: Check that the unit isolator is switched ON. Check that the power supply is live to the unit. Check external and internal circuit breakers and external interlocks; e.g. Fire Shutdown on page 4-25 of Section 4 If the unit is a network slave, visually check that controller communications cable has not been damaged or disconnected. Check door interlocked isolators (if fitted).
CAUTION
Some fault conditions, such as temperature or pressure trips, will seem to rectify themselves as conditions return to normal when the unit stops operating. DO NOT reset the controls and restart the unit without first identifying and rectifying the cause of the fault. Repeatedly resetting and restarting can damage the unit and may invalidate any warranty.
WARNING
Never allow or risk the possibility of mains voltage reaching any controller connection. For this reason, be especially careful if using low impedance instruments for checking voltage etc. No field repairs to the controller /display should be attempted. If an Eaton-Williams AHU controller/display is not fitted, identifying the cause of a fault may involve a lengthy and painstaking process of elimination. Fault finding procedures described in this section assumes that an Eaton-Williams AHU controller is fitted and can be interrogated to identify the affected item of plant and prevailing conditions, such as air temperature and humidity. When this has been done, the Fault Finding Tables shown under may be used to assist in fault diagnosis, identification of possible causes and suggested remedial action. If the controller is displaying a fault condition, each affected item is identified; refer to Section 4 - INVICTANET CONTROLLER TECHNICAL MANUAL for details.
