1 SUBJECT OF THE CONTRACT
This contract refers to the use of HITACHI software
products.
2 SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT
2.1 This contract bestows upon the licensee the right, not
exclusive or limited by time, to use the HITACHI software
with its appropriate documentation in accordance with the
conditions below on a computer system provided for the
software for one computer workstation. Use of the software
on terms other than these requires the written consent of

8.2 Either party with three months notice can terminate the
licence agreement. The licenser cannot terminate the
licence agreement until five years have elapsed.
8.3 The right to terminate the licence agreement without
notice for important reasons is unaffected. The following in
particular constitute important reasons: violation by the
licensee and a third party of comparable status in
accordance with Paragraph 2.2 of a condition of this
contract, the opening of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings with respect to the property of the licensee or
the third party and the refusal to open such proceedings on
the grounds of insufficient assets, and the disposal of the
company of the licensee or the third party or of the part of
the company in which the software is used.
8.4 The software and software documentation supplied,
including back-up copies, are to be returned unrequested
and without delay to the licenser at the end of the contract
period.
9 PENAL SUMS AND COMPENSATION

In the event of unauthorised use, in particular contravention
of the terms of Paragraphs 2.2, 2.3, 3.4 and 8.3 of this
contract, the licensee undertakes to pay a penal sum of
three times the licence fee. The licenser reserves the right
to claim further compensation.
10 GENERAL
10.1 The usufructuary right is subject to payment of the
licence fee. The obligation of payment of the non-recurrent
fee is not affected by a termination of the contract in
accordance with Paragraph 8. The fee is to be paid in
accordance with the terms of payment stated in the invoice
presented by the licenser. Calculation on the basis of
counter-claims made by the licensee not valid in law or
disputed by the licenser is excluded.
10.2 The legal existence of the licence agreement is
independent of other contracts entered into by the parties.
In particular, objections and pleas regarding a delivery
contract in respect of hardware do not constitute objections
and pleas regarding the licence agreement or vice-versa.
10.3 Sub-agreements and changes to the contract are valid
only in writing.
10.4 Should one or more of the above conditions be invalid,
the remaining conditions remain unaffected. Licenser and
licensee are obliged in such a case to replace an invalid
condition with a valid condition, which most closely fulfils the
commercial purpose of the invalid condition.
10.5 This contract is subject to the legislation in force where
the licensers registered office is situated. The place of
jurisdiction is the location of the licensers registered office.
Should he so choose, the licenser is entitled to go to law

2.3. FEATURES OF CS-NET

1. The HITACHI CS-NET is a powerful computer
program to control all small or large HITACHI
Utopia and Set Free installations from a central
point.
2. CS-NET is a user friendly program with easy
setting of temperatures, modes, fan speeds, timer
etc.
3. Control can be selected for either central or local
depending on the particular customer
requirements
4. An optional Power Consumption program for Set
Free systems is available to enable the power
consumption of each Indoor Unit to be calculated
as a percentage of that of the Outdoor Unit. This
is particularly useful for installations in rented
offices, for example, where individual Indoor Units
on the same system serve offices of different
companies, and must be invoiced separately.
5. An optional program is available for saving all of
the operating conditions of the Set Free system(s)
at selected time intervals. This Historical Data
program enables the service partner to review
operating conditions prior to a failure resulting in a
faster diagnosis and putting the system back into
operation.
6. Web Server function will enable remote
connection to the installation from any point of the
Network. It will allow easy monitoring and control
from remote connection.
7. Building Layout function helps management for
big installations by showing different units using
architectonic drawings as visualisation.
8. BMS systems from nearly all the major suppliers
can be connected to the CS-NET. The interfaces
have been developed and details of the supplier
can be found in the section 6, covering BMS
protocol.
9. When the CS-NET is used for different systems
with different types of interfaces, the units will all
appear on the same screen when the
configuration of the serial ports is correctly made.
It is not necessary to have separate files for each
system.
10. For the Set Free, Utopia G8 and DC inverter

units, a Graphical Representation of the system is
available showing the actual operating conditions,
such as compressor speed, pressures,
temperatures, current, etc., allowing the system
conditions for each unit to be closely followed.
11. A yearly timer function allows setting conditions
for each day of the year for any independent unit.
Pattern system allows a fast way of configuring
units depending of its placement and intended
use.
12. The Set Free FS systems are 2-pipe systems
which have been designed for either Heating or
Cooling but not simultaneously within the same
system.
CS-NET has a simulated Cool / Heat functioning
for these units, which will check the mode most
required by the Indoor Units within each system
(per FS Outdoor Unit or per CH-Box) at regular
intervals and change the system mode if required.
13. When a fault occurs, the fault Icon for the faulty
unit turns Red, and the code, with description
identifying the fault, is included in the fault
message that appears on the screen few minutes
after the fault occurs. This enables a fast trouble
shooting and rectification of the problem.
14. It is possible to lock single parameters in the
Remote Control by means of CS-NET. With this
option if parameter is locked and it is changed
locally, then CS-NET will change it automatically
in Remote Control Switch.
15. It is possible to reduce the range of setting
temperature for each indoor Unit. Limiting this
range increases the comfort during automatic
changeover of operation mode while reducing the
overall power consumption.
16. With the Matrix parameters window it is possible a
faster access to configuration parameters for units
selected single, by outdoor unit or be group
setting.

ATTENTION:
1.
If the computer is switched off, the systems will

continue to run in the conditions last set.
2. The Timer will only activate if the Central Control is
activated for the unit (See Questions and Answers)
3. As the Timer signal is generated by the computer, it
will not activate if the computer is switched off.
4. The optional Remote Room Sensor is recommended
for each Indoor Unit if a system is going to be used for
Heating (except RPK, series FSGM). This assures a
more constant and smoother room condition, even on
colder days. Also, in heating mode there is a built in
4C offset to compensate for the high level
installation. This offset must be cancelled when
operating with CS-Net and this is automatically done
when connecting a Remote Room Sensor. See
details of Remote Controllers in Section 4.7
5. Each Indoor Unit must be connected to a Remote
Controller, whether it be individually or in a group. In
heating mode there is a built in 4C offset to
compensate for the high level installation. This offset
must be cancelled when operating with CS-Net. This
can be cancelled on the Remote Controller (except on
PC-5H). See details of Remote Controllers in Section
4.7.
6. The optional Remote Controller PC-5H can only be
used when operating with CS-NET. The Auto C/H
option is then also available.
7. The RPK wall mounted unit series FSGM, are
supplied with an Infra-Red Remote Controller as
standard. In order to function with CS-NET, the
connector CN25 (IR receiver) on the PCB must be
disconnected, and a Remote Controller (PC-2H2, or
receiver PC-RLH4) connected to CN13. If this is not
done, the CS-NET will not recognise the unit.
8. For 2-Pipe systems (FS/FS2/FSG/FS3), the Indoor
Units in each system must be zoned, where possible,
in areas where it is unlikely that heating and cooling
would be required at the same time. This also applies
to the FXG/FX3 systems where CH boxes are
grouped together.
9. Avoid oversizing of Indoor Units on 2-Pipe systems to
prevent heating or cooling overrun. This is particularly
important where Auto Cool/Heat is used. In addition,
zones which have high internal heat loads (e.g.
computer rooms) and/or have occasional high heat
loads (e.g. meeting rooms, canteens) should be
handled separately from the rest of the zones in the
building.
10. Although Set Free systems incorporate an automatic
address system, this should not be used when using
CS-NET. The unit address must be made manually
on each unit by setting the respective dip switches.
11. Since Internet connections are risky (due to hacker
and virus possible harms) please avoid connection of
critical installations to Internet.
12. In no case shall be Hitachi made liable for any
problem caused by malicious intent from third parties
derived from Internet connection.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
If more than the maximum number of units shown in the
Overview tables are required to be controlled, it will be
necessary to add a further CS-NET interface.
If there are insufficient Serial Ports available on the
computer, Multiport adapters are available on the market for
up to 8 serial ports using one computer serial port
connection.
Consult your local HITACHI Dealer for details. If an external

Modem is used it is recommended that this be connected to
COM 1.
If there are insufficient USB ports available on the computer,
USB HUB are available on the market, this HUB will need
external power supply.
Maximum connection of 8 different interfaces is allowed for
CS-NET. Then maximum connectable units is increased up
to 1.024 Indoor Units.
2.5. CONNECTIONS TO HITACHI A/C SYSTEMS

INSTALLATION
UTOPIA G5 RS232 CONNECTION

The connection from the CS-NET interface to the first Indoor
Unit is by means of a 3 core Remote Control cable
(0,75 mm2) connecting to plug number CN10 on the Indoor
Unit printed circuit board (PCB). The cable, complete with
connectors, can be purchased from Hitachi under the Part
Nos. PRC10(10m), PRC15(15m) and PRC30(30m).
The CS-NET kit is supplied with 2 cable sets PRC1 which is
the connector fitted with 3 x 30cm 0,75mm2 cables to
enable the connection to be made to normal 3 core cable.

Further sets of PRC1 (10 connectors per set) can be
purchased from Hitachi if required.
The connection is then made from CN9 in the first Indoor
Unit to CN 10 in the second Indoor Unit, and this is
continued up to the last unit, 16 being the maximum on one
interface.
Note
All cables must be shielded and at least 0,75mm2
cross section. Maximum length is 500m.
Typical Connection Diagram
The connections between the external Black Box Interface
and the first Indoor Unit must be made using a PRC
connector at the Indoor Unit PCB and the Screw connector
on the Interface, as the data connection on the Indoor Unit
is No.1 (FS/FS2/FX units have pin No.3 as data
connection), and must therefore be connected to connector
No.3 on the Interface. See diagram below.

3.2. FS FS2 FX RS232 CONNECTION

The same external Interface is used as for the UTOPIA
systems.
In the FS / FS2 / FX systems, the CS-NET connection is
made from the Interface to the PCB 1 in the Outdoor Unit as
can be seen from the Connection diagram below.
If more than one system is to be connected to the CS-NET,
the Outdoor Units must be interconnected between the CN
connections shown below. In order that the CS-NET
recognises each system, each Outdoor Unit must be given
a separate address code by setting the dip switches
according to the Set Free Technical Manual.
The Outdoor Unit is connected to the Indoor Units by a 2

Core cable which is Polarity sensitive. The Outdoor units
must be connected in sequence, i.e. No.0-No.1-No.2-No.3
etc.
PRC Connection
The connections between the external Black box Interface
and the first Outdoor Unit must be made using PRC
connectors at both ends either using the PRC 1 at both
ends and normal cable, or PRC 10 to 30 cable sets. See
diagram opposite.

Jumper pins
IRQ SELECTION
Under Computer Settings > System > Hardware Manager >
Properties > Resources > INTERRUPT (IRQ) >, an IRQ
Interrupt port number must be found that is not occupied
and it should be reserved.
In the example opposite, the 07 has been found to be
unoccupied and it has been reserved, therefore the
Jumper Pin has been placed on No.7.
I / O SELECTION
When the IRQ selection has been made, Click on
Input/Output (I/O) and select an I/O setting that adress ##00
until ##F1 are also not occupied.
In this example, address 0800 until 08F1 has been found to
be unoccupied and the rotary switches S2 and S1 have
been set at 8 and 0 respectively as shown opposite.
Do not change S3 or S4.
When the settings have been made on the board, the board
must be installed in a free ISA slot in the computer and
firmly screwed in.
When the ISA board has been installed in the computer,
these settings must be selected from the corresponding
dropdown fields in the Service Partner box when configuring
the program. (See Section 3).

3.4. FSG - FS3 - FXG - FX3 - G8 - HRG USB/H-LINK CONNECTION

HARC40 WITH USB Connection
As a result of ISA Board connections being phased out of
Computer design, an external Interface with a USB
connection, has been developed for H-Link connection to
the CS-NET. This also makes the application more flexible
in that it can be connected to a portable computer enabling
a service engineer to monitor systems which are not

connected to a CS-NET software.
The Installation must be carried out as detailed below.
Note:
INSTALLATION
Switch the computer off.
Connect the HARC40 Interface to the computer using the
USB connection cable.
Switch the computer on. Windows will automatically detect
that the Interface is connected and that the device
HARCUSB is available at the CD/CDROM.
Windows will automatically terminate the installation of the

device.
The CS-NET program can now be installed.
Connect the CS-NET cable on the Interface to the H-Link
connection on any one of the indoor or Outdoor Units.
INTERFACE CONNECTIONS
The connections available for the Interface are as follows:
Terminal Board TB1 (See diagram opposite)
Rear View Of HARC40 Interface
1. Main H-Link connection for 2-core cable to the system.

2. USB connection to the USB port on the computer.

4.2.6. Set Password

PASWORD LEVEL
There are three different levels for Password protection. The
levels are the following:
- User Password: Allows the modification of setting points

in module configuration.
- Maintenance Password: Allows access to the
modification of all the values of module configuration,

fault status and power consumption option.
- Service Password: Allows access to all the functions of

CS-NET.
SET PASSWORD
For each password level, password can be programmed to
activate after a specified time of non activity. Enter a new
Password and confirm this in Reenter Password. Enter
the number of seconds and click on OK.
The Password Timeout is the number of seconds of
inactivity after which the Password will be needed to make
any further changes to the program.
CHANGE PASSWORD
For each Password level it is possible to change the
Password. Click in the Set Password for the level desired
and enter the existing Password. Enter a New Password
and confirm this in Reenter Password.
If only the time is to be changed, enter the existing
password in ALL three password fields and then change the
number of seconds.
If the password is only entered in the Old Password field
and the others fields left blank, it is assumed that this
password level is not required. In the case that Service
Password is set blank then Password access will be
cancelled.
Click on OK to save.
PASSWORD
To activate the password click on Password to open the
password box.
To deactivate the password, click on Password, enter the
password, and click on OK to save.
4.2.7. Auto Configuration

When the Basic Configuration is completed the Auto
Configuration can be initiated.
This enables a fast auto registration of the address codes of
all the units found in the system.
When Auto Configuration is started it will ask if the
configuration (COMPorts, etc.) should be saved.
Click on YES.

A Save As box will open. Enter a new file name and click on
Save.
(Example of Save As box in German Language Windows
Interface).
Auto Configuration will now start.

When Auto Configuration is started it searches the system
and identifies each unit by address code. This process will
take around 5 minutes to complete. The time will depend on
the number of units installed.
The Hitachi Logo in the top left hand corner of the screen
will start to rotate showing that the CS-NET is
communicating with the system.
When the Auto Configuration has finished, confirm that the
number of Indoor units registered is the same as the
number of units installed.
4.3. OPERATION
When the Set Up and Auto Configuration have been
completed, the Unit information must be entered in each
individual Module. It is important for future service to enter
the Serial Numbers and Models in their respective fields, as

this will avoid time consuming searching in the event of
warranty claims or spare parts identification.

CS PORT
This indicates the Serial Port to which the unit selected is
connected. This will be identified automatically when the
AUTO CONFIGURATION has been run, but can also be
entered by hand (see Module Projected).
GROUP *
If a number of Indoor Units are to be controlled (interactively
or through the Timer) globally, thus under the same
conditions, each unit in this group should be identified with a
common number, i.e. 1. If a parameter must be changed,
select any unit within this group by clicking the Module
Icon. First select Global Setting and change the
parameter(s) to the desired setting. Click on Update to store
the setting(s). All units within this group will change the
selected parameters simultaneously.
Note: It is recommended that Groups should only be made
with Indoor Units on the same Outdoor Unit (2-pipe), or
Indoor Units connected to the same CH-Box. It is
nevertheless possible to make groups of units connected to
different Outdoor Units, but it should be noted that in 2- pipe
systems or within a CH-Box, a mode change of a unit not
within the group, will change all other units in the same
system to the same mode, even if they are part of a group.
See Section 4.6 for example of unit grouping.
OUTDOOR UNIT (Not for Utopia G5))

The address code of the Outdoor unit will be identified
automatically when the AUTO CONFIGURATION has been
run. The address code can also be entered by hand (see
Module Projected).
EQUIVALENT ADDRESS:
In the case that Outdoor Unit has more than 16 Indoor Units
it will use a secondary Outdoor Unit Address. This Address
has to be set in the EQUIVALENT ADDRESS field
,
the two address will be considered by CS-NET as the same
Outdoor Unit.
INDOOR UNIT
The address code of the Indoor unit will be identified
automatically when the AUTO CONFIGURATION has been
run. The address code can also be entered by hand (see
Module Projected).
CH BOX (For FX / FXG / FX3 systems only)*

If two or more Indoor Units are connected to one CH Box,
and Auto Cool / Heat operation will be selected, a common
number must be entered in this field to ensure that all of
these units change the operating mode simultaneously.
R407C *
The default setting is for refrigerant R407C. This limits the
selection of units in the OUTDOOR UNIT TYPE field to
those available with R407C.
If R22 is the system refrigerant, deactivate the R407C
selection by clicking on the box. The selection of units will
then be limited to those using R22.

35
REMOTE CONTROL GROUP*

If there is a group (2 or more) of Indoor Units controlled by a
single Remote Controller, each unit within this group must
be given a common number i.e. 1. A second group must be
given a different number etc. If any of the parameters of a
unit within this group is changed, all of the other units within
this group will be changed simultaneously to the same
value. This is automatic and does not need the Global
Setting to be activated. It is not possible to have two or
more units with one Remote Controller operating at different
conditions.
Note: Only use Remote Control Grouping within a
common refrigeration system or within one CH-Box. Do
not use a single controller to control Indoor Units
connected to different Outdoor Units or CH-Boxes.
MASTER UNIT *
REMOTE SENSOR *
(FS / FS2 / FS3 / FSG / FXG CH-Box only)

One Indoor Unit in a system (Outdoor Unit for 2-pipe or CHBox for 3-pipe) can be selected as the Master unit. When
the Master unit has been selected this function cannot be
selected on any other unit within the system. A master unit
has priority over the other units in the same system. This is
not available for UTOPIA.
If an optional Remote Sensor is fitted, activation of this field

will make this the controlling sensor for the Auto C/H
function. If a remote sensor is fitted and this field is not
activated, the average temperature of the built in sensor and
the remote sensor will be used for this function. Remote
Sensor is not available on RPK series FSGM Indoor Units,
see also section 2.4.
OUTDOOR UNIT TYPE *

The Outdoor Unit model can be selected from the dropdown
list. Once the unit is selected it remains stored for all of the
other Set Free Indoor Units associated with this Outdoor
unit address code.
INDOOR UNIT TYPE *
The Indoor Unit types for all systems except for the FS3 /
FSG / FXG / FX3 must be selected from the corresponding
dropdown lists. For the the FS3 / FSG / FXG / FX3 systems,
the Indoor unit model is automatically selected by identifying
the factory set dip switch settings of each unit.
OUTDOOR UNIT SERIAL NO. *
The Outdoor Unit Serial Number must be entered manually
in this field. It need only be entered once for each Set Free
system, as it is automatically carried forward for each Indoor
Unit on the same system. This is not the case for UTOPIA
for which the Serial Number must be entered for each
Outdoor Unit.
INDOOR UNIT SERIAL NO. *
This must be entered manually for each Indoor Unit.

LOCATION INDOOR UNIT *

The location of the Indoor Unit can be entered in this field,
e.g. Director, Reception etc.,
SEARCH KEYWORD
Where a large number of Indoor Units are installed, the
Search function allows a specific unit to be found by
entering the location in this field and clicking on Search.
FILTER TIME (h) *
The Filter signal can be set to OFF 500 1000 1500
2000 2500 hours depending on the local conditions. Click
on Update to save. When the set time has elapsed, an
indication will appear on the screen as a reminder to check
the condition of the filter. This can be send out
automatically as a fax message to the service partner by
activating the Send filter error button in the Service Partner
configuration box.
FILTER RESET
When the filter time has elapsed, and the filters have been
either cleaned or replaced, click on Filter Reset and then
on OK to set the time counter to 0.
TEMPERATURE +
The temperature can be set between +19C and +30C in
Cooling mode, +17C and +30C in Heating mode and Auto
C/H mode.
The temperature range can be modified using the Maximum
Setting Temperature and Minimum Setting Temperature in
Matrix Parameters. In such a case if Temperature is set
outside limits by using Remote Control Switch then CS-NET
will modify it to fit inside limits.
FIXED SETTING POINTS +
If Key Button Visible is activated for the unit then Key
Buttons are showed in module for the unit. This buttons
serve to lock the value of the setting field they are attached.
When the button is deactivated
the setting of the value
is free to be changed from Remote Control switch. When
the button is activated
the setting of the value is locked
and can be only modified from Global Setting, in the case
that value is changed from Remote Control Switch then CSNET changes it again to the locked value.
The setting of Fixed Setting Points can be changed from
Matrix Parameters.

SWING LOUVER +
The swing louver, where fitted, can be set for automatic or
fixed operation. This feature is only availabe for FSG/FS3
and FXG/FX3 Indoor Units which are fitted with swing
louvers (RCI-RCD-RPC). The positions can be fixed
between 1 7, or in Automatic mode.
OPERATION MODE +
The operation modes available are:
Cooling Dry Fan Heating
Auto C / H (FS-FS2-FS3-FSG) (See Page 4-41)
Automatic (FX-FXG-FX3-G8-HRG)
In Auto C/H the 4C shift in heating mode must be cancelled
on each Indoor Unit. Details can be found in the Technical
manual.
The FSG/FS3 2-pipe systems are either Cooling or Heating.
If therefore, all units in one system are operating in Central
Control and Cooling mode and one unit is selected for
heating, all units will change to Heating mode.
If the Units are in Local Control and Heating is selected on
one Remote Control, the system will continue in Cooling
mode, but the unit requesting Heating will stop and will only
change over when all the other units request Heating.
An indication code d10 will appear in the check mode 1 on
the PC-2H2 Remote Controller.
This also applies to FX/FXG/FX3 systems where 2 or more
Indoor Units are connected to the same CH Box.
FAN SPEED +
The available Fan speed selections are:
High-Medium-Low.
When starting in Heating mode the selected Fan Speed will
be not be initiated until the air outlet temperature reaches
+30C. Until this temperature is reached, the fan speed will
be indicated as SLOW on the screen.

Clicking Update.
The PC-2H2 Remote Controller will show the CENTRAL (on
PC-2H2) or REMOTE indication (onPC-2H) when the CSNET is in Central Control mode.
If the Central Control is activated it is not possible to change
the settings locally. It is only possible to switch the individual
units On and Off. If the unit is switched off locally the
indication X will be shown on the screen even though the
Module Configuration Box shows that the unit is switched is
On.
TIMER ACTIVE +
When the TIMER settings have been made, the timer box
must be closed by TIMER<<. The timer may be then
activated, or deactivated, by this function and Updated. If
the timer box is open, the timer cannot be activated.
GLOBAL SETTING +
If a certain number of Indoor Units, connected to one
Outdoor Unit or one CH-Box, are to be controlled
interactively or by the Timer, a group number, common to all
of these units, must be entered in the GROUP field of each
unit.
To change a parameter, select any unit within the group,
click on GLOBAL SETTING and change the required
parameter(s).
Click on all of the other parameters (On/Off, Central Station,
Temperature, Mode etc.,) to activate the Global Setting for
each parameter, even if the setting is to remain the same as
originally selected. Click on Update to store the settings.

4.3.4. Auto Cool / Heat (Set Free Systems Only)

FS/FS2/FS3/FSG units are 2-Pipe systems and are not
designed to operate in Auto Cool / Heat mode, and they
can only be operated in either the Cooling or Heating mode.
Thus all Indoor Units on the same Outdoor Unit should be
changed together from one mode to the other. The same is
valid for FX / FXG / FX3 systems for all Indoor Units
connected to the same CH-Box.
However, an Auto Cool / Heat operation is available
through CS-NET. In the intermediate season, the CS-NET
calculates the major need of the Indoor Units per Outdoor
Unit on FS/FS2/FS3/FSG-systems, or per CH-Box on
FX/FXG/FX3-systems. It will then select the mode required
by the majority of all the Indoor Units in that system and, if
necessary, change the Remote Controller settings
accordingly.
In order to give the system time to stabilise in a particular
mode, the system requirement is checked from at least 20
minutes after an automatic mode change (see also section
8.2 on CAMBIO in 1742.sts). This process is continuous for
as long as the Indoor Units are set in Auto C/H. If the
systems are correctly designed, in that the Indoor Units, on
the same FS/FS2/FS3/FSG Outdoor Unit (or CH-Box), are
all in similar zones for heating and cooling demands, then a
full automation of e.g. morning heating, afternoon cooling
and evening heating, will be achieved. The user keeps local
control over the Set Temperature on the Remote Controller
in the room.
When using Auto Cool/Heat mode, the 4C shift, which is
programmed into the Heating mode of each Indoor Unit,
must be cancelled on all Indoor Units (see also section 2.4).
If not, a conflict will occur between the system program and
the CS-NET program. (See the SET FREE Service Manual
for details on how to cancel the 4C shift, using the optional
function b1). However, if an optional Remote Room Sensor
(one per Indoor Unit) is fitted, the shift is automatically
cancelled (not available on RPK series FSGM Indoor
Units).
There are two ways in which CS-NET can decide the
operation mode in AUTO mode:
Average method.
In this case CS-Net takes the average of all IUs on the
same OU. For the measured air inlet temperature value
there are also two possibilities:
If the check box of the remote sensor is not activated, the
controlling temperature value is the average between air
inlet temperature and remote sensor temperature.
If the check box of the remote sensor is activated, the
controlling temperature value is the remote sensor
temperature.
Master method.
In this case CS-Net only takes the Master Unit into account
for the changeover decision. When using this method, it is
not permitted to use the Indoor Fan Speed control option on
the Outdoor Unit. (during Thermo-OFF in heating mode, the
Indoor Fan stops for 6 minutes and operates for 2 minutes).
If used, the decision for changeover will not always be
correct (if measured during 6 minutes off cycle!).
The RA-sensor (Infra Red) on RCI/RCD Cassettes units in

FS/FS2/FX series must be disconnected, as this will cause
a conflict between the system control and the CS-NET if left
connected. This Sensor is not fitted on other systems.
There are moments during Local Control (when checking
the setting of the Remote Controller) that CS-NET takes
control over the Remote Controller. During this time
(maximum 10 minutes) REMOTE will appear on the LCDdisplay of the PC-2H Remote Controller, or CENTRAL in
case of the PC-2H2 Remote Controller. During this period,
the user will not be able to change the settings. This is a
normal phenomenon and does not indicate a fault.
If one Indoor Unit is set through CS-NET in Auto C/H mode,
all Indoor Units connected to the same FS/FS2FS3/FSG
Outdoor Unit, (or to the same CH-Box in the case of
FX/FXG/FX3 systems), will switch to the Auto C/H mode.
This means e.g. that if one of the Indoor Units was
previously set in Heating at 17C, and the FS/FS2/
FS3/FSG Outdoor Unit, or CH-Box, switches into Cooling
Mode, calculated by CS-NET, this specific Indoor Unit will
start cooling in order to reach 17C! To avoid this kind of
situation, care should be taken when programming the
Timer.
For all the Indoor Units connected to the same FS/FS2/
FS3/FSG Outdoor Units or CH-Box, the starting time of the
first unit needed in the morning (see Timer), must be the
reference time and condition for all the Indoor Units within
the same system. In the evening, the last Indoor Unit to
change will in turn have to be the one enforcing the
reference time and condition for all Indoor Units on that
system.
If a user selects a different Mode through the Remote
Controller (type PC2H/PC-2H2) when in Local Mode, it will
later return to the Mode calculated by CS-NET. Use of the
Mode Selector on the Remote Controllers by the occupants
during CS-NET Auto C/H mode when in Local Mode, is
therefore not recommended. Only the set temperature
should be adjusted, if needed, by using the (up) or
(down) buttons. The necessary (and possible) mode per
Outdoor Unit will then be selected and set (also on the LCDdisplay of the PC-2H orPC-2H2 Remote Controller) by CSNET.
In FX/FXG/FX3-systems, the Auto C/H mode is available
per CH-Box, connected to one or more Indoor Units, with
one or more Remote Controller. The CH-Box will be
handled as if it is a 2pipe Outdoor Unit.
For further information, refer to the 1742.STS file in
Section 7.

Reference notes for the Remote controllers

The standard Infra Red Remote Controller and Receiver on
the RPK series FSGM, cannot be used with CS-NET.
To make it compatible with CS-NET, the standard receiver
connection CN25 must be disconnected from the PCB, and
either a PC-2H2, or Receiver units PC-RLH4 be connected
directly to CN13.
This will enable CS-NET to communicate with the system.
The available functions will then correspond to the
respective Remote Controller.
The standard functions of the older PC-2H on a FS/FS2/FX
system are equal to the standard functions of PC-2H2 on
the FS3/FSG/FX3/FXG systems.
NOTE 1.
Operation Mode includes: Fan, Cool, Heat, Dry and Auto.
For Auto Cool/Heat and Heat modes, the 4C shift must be
removed, which can only be done with the RCS (except with
PC-5H). Therefore without the RCS these modes will not
function correctly. If an optional Remote Sensor is
connected to THM6 for FS/FS2/FX or THM4 for
FSG/FS3/FXG/FX3 of the Indoor PCB, the 4C shift will
automatically be removed, permitting the CS-NET to control
the system without the Remote Control Switch.
NOTE 2.
This Filter Time settings and signal are locally available on
the PC-2H2 Remote Controller, per Controller. These
settings are not available on PC-5H or PC-LH3.
If CS-NET is installed, the Filter Time setting can also be
made in CS-NET per Indoor Unit, instead of or in addition to
the setting on the Remote Controllers, if available. Usually,
Filter alarm is cancelled on the Remote Controllers, if Filter
Time setting is used in CS-Net.
NOTE 3.
The Address Codes and Refrigerant Cycle Numbers can be
monitored using the check mode of the Remote Control
Switch.
NOTE 4.
The Check function of the RCS has the following
possibilities:
1. Self checking of PCBs: PC-2H2 Only.
2. Self checking of RCS:
All RCS independently. CS-Net cannot activate
this function.
3. Check Mode 1:
PC-2H2, PC-5H and PC-LH3 using receiver
connected to the Indoor Unit.
PC-RLH4 or PC-RLH7 Receiver Units.
CS-Net shows 22 of the 25 available data on the
Fault Status screen plus Fault-Log files.
4. Check Mode 2:
Only PC-2H2 and PC-LH3 using Receiver Unit
connected to the Indoor Unit (PC-RLH4 or PCRLH7.
NOTE 5.
Information is also available in the System Status Display.
NOTE 6.
The removal of the 4C shift can only be made with a
PC-2H2 Controller, receiver PC-RLH4 or receiver PC-RLH7.
It is not possible with the PC-5H or PC-LH3. If Auto
Cool/Heat or Heating mode is to be used with CS-Net, it is
necessary to fit the PC-2H2 Controller, receiver PC-RLH4 or
receiver PC-RLH7, or to install a Remote Sensor (not
available on RPK series FSGM).
NOTE 7.
The Settings can be fixed using CS-NET and the Central
Control function or by using the Fixed Setting option. This
option can be done with Lock Buttons or with Matrix
Parameters
NOTE 8.
Up to a maximum of 3 of the available 6 Signal Outputs can
be selected, depending on the Indoor Unit Model.
NOTE 9.
The PC-2H2 is is the only Controller enabling the
reprogramming of the Outputs.
This cannot be done by CS-NET.
NOTE 10.
If the Indoor Unit selected operation mode is different to the
Fixed Operation Mode, the Indoor Unit will change to
Thermo-OFF position.
NOTE 11.
Multiple Indoor Units controlled by 1 Remote control switch
must be grouped together using the Remote Control Group
fields in the Module Configuration Box. (See Section 4.3.1.).
NOTE 12.
It is not possible to use 2 controllers with the RPK series
FSGM models.

6. WEB SERVER
6.1. INTERNET CONNECTION
WARNING:
Due to malicious intent by third parties Internet has
several risk for computers and Networks. Therefore it is
highly recommended to install protection systems to
CS-NET computer when it shall be connected to the
Internet. Also it is highly recommended to use a
dedicated PC not connected with Local Area Network.
Under no case should Hitachi be made liable by any

damaged caused by malicious intent by third parties.
Configuration is the same for CS-NET when using

Internet connection or when using Local Network, contact
Information Technologies Expert to configure Windows
for connection.
Contact Information Technologies Expert to do

Internet Connection and to ensure computer
protection.
Do not use CS-NET and Internet connection for

critical appliance where lack of service could cause
harm to persons or devices.
6.2. CONFIGURATION
Web Server function is initially not activated and it should be
configured manually. To activate go to Service Partner and
press Enable Web Server. You will be queried to accept
terms of use.
Select desired port in Port text field. Port shall be entered
while accessing via web browser. If it is desired that port is
not necessary to enter select port 80. After Ok is pressed
Web server is activated and remote user can connect using
Web Browser to IP or machine name and using port.
To remotely access to CS-NET it will be necessary to input
valid identification for CS-NET PC in web browser
navigation bar and port separated by two points character.
Valid identification for CS-NET PC can be LAN/Internet IP,
NetBios Name or DNS assigned named when available.
IP from computer can be known by typing Ipconfig in a
console window (to open console window select Run
from Windows Start button and enter cmd).
Connection has been designed to work with MS Internet
Explorer 6.0. Other compatible web browser should likely
work but they have not been tested.
Consult your Information Technologies Expert for more information.
6.3. OPERATION
Operation is done following same way than local connection
with following considerations:
Aspect
Remote Connection is done using web browser and
HTML pages with JavaScript. Due to this aspect may
differ lightly from standard CS-NET window.
Password
Password window will open at first connection and when
password option is selected from Configuration menu. It
will appear even if password is disabled. If password is
disabled leave text field in blank and press Ok.
New Internet password has been added and it will be
queried together with CS-NET password. This password
can be locally modified from Set Internet Password
from Configuration menu. Passwords can only be
modified locally in order to ensure security.
Reduced Options
To keep security not all options are available remotely.
Then Menu is reduced to cover only available options.
Language
Language is initially set to local CS-NET language but
can be remotely changed. These changes do not affect
local CS-NET and will be discarded when session is
expired. After it is discarded language shall be set again.
Refresh
To minimize band required for connection unit window is
refreshed automatically each minute roughly or when
module window is opened.
Timer
Changes done to calendar are not automatically saved
and Update button shall be pressed to saved them.
Behavior is slightly different than local mode.

WEB SERVER
6.4. SAMPLE
Activate Web Server
Activate Web Server and select desired port, for
example 2323. Before selecting one port ensure that it is
free in CS-NET computer.
Accept License and press OK.
Connect to CS-NET
Open Web Browser (for example MS Explorer) and
enter IP for CS-NET computer and port. For example for
IP 192.168.30.211 and port 2323 enter
http://192.168.30.211:2323 in navigation bar.
If CS-NET computer has NetBios name or DNS name
then it is possible to use its name and port instead. For
example for a computer named CS-NET and port 8080
enter http://CS-NET:8080.
If port is set to 80 then it is not necessary to enter it and
then it would be possible to connect for example in the
following way: http://192.168.30.211 or http://CSNET.
Consult your Information Technologies Expert for
more information as to how configure NetBios name
or DNS.
Enter Password
New session is created with CS-NET and password
window is open.

7.1. POWER CONSUMPTION
,
If there are multiple entries for one day, the last one is valid.
The data are written to the following files:
1.
2.
3.
The percentage Power Consumption of the Indoor units

relative to the Outdoor Unit can be calculated over different
time periods.
4.
Monthly data to the file m1_MMYY.txt.

MM is the month and YY is the year.
Three monthly data to the file m3_MMYY.txt.
MM is the starting month and YY is the year.
Six monthly data to the file m6_MMYY.txt.
MM is the starting month and YY is the year.
Yearly data to the file y1_YY.txt.
YY is the year.
Enable Storage : permits storage of power consumption

data.
Reset : resets to zero all internal power consumption data.
The storage files have the following tab separated columns:

<Year> <Month> <Day>
<CS-Port> <OutdoorUnit Number> <IndoorUnit Number>
<Unit Text>
<Consumption IndoorUnit relative to its OutdoorUnit
(100% == 1000000)>
<Consumption IndoorUnit relative to all OutdoorUnits
(100% == 1000000)>
Reset of the internal counters is made automatically at:
1. Start of a new month for monthly data.
2. Start of January, April, July and October for three monthly
data.
3. Start of January and July for six monthly data.
4. Start of a new year for yearly data.
Operation
If storage is enabled, 4 file types are written simultaneously
to the CS-NET POWER subdirectory. Writing is done at the
beginning of a new day and on CS-NET shutdown.
In the event of a power failure, or the computer is switched

off, the recorded data for that day will be lost.
Power Consumption data is available only for SET
FREE units.
The principle is as follows:
File format
All data are written without units and as signed numbers, into an ASCII-file. To avoid problems with the floatingpoint colon character, the consumption values are multiplied with 1000000.
The format file is as follows:
(These columns have no title, therefore these are shown at the bottom of the Table)

data is to be stored, i.e diskette (1450 kB) or Hard disk.
When the data exceeds the storage capacity, it will
overwrite the oldest data on the file. If no directory is
specified, the data will be save to the \CS-NET\HIST\
directory.
Operation
If storage is enabled, a single file is written for every
Outdoor Unit. If all historical files in summary reach the
specified amount of the Max Files Size Sum, the free disk
space is below 10 MB or the size of a single history file
reaches 1.4 MB, the first entries of the file will be
overwritten.
The files will have the following name: h01_PPNN.txt.
PP is the CS-port and NN the Outdoor Unit number.
The h01 specifies the type of this file (V4.1 had Type 01,
V5.0 has now Type 02).
Future File Types will be given other type value in the
filename.
Utopia Units have only set data available. Fields marked
with (Not Utopia) hold no valid data for utopia units.
The storage files have the following tab separated columns
(with the same format than Power files):
Storage Interval (min): Interval in minutes for historical

data storage.
Intervals: 5 to 20 minutes.
THE STORAGE FILES HAVE THE FOLLOWING COLUMNS

7.3. MODEM ACCESS

If a modem is installed, it is possible to access the CS-NET
from a remote location using commercially available
communication software, such as LAPLINK or PC
ANYWHERE, by telephone line or the Internet. This enables
the system to be monitored by the Service Partner from his
office without having to visit the site and enabling him to
check faults, to restart the system and to observe the
operating conditions.
Error reporting by email can also be made available.

Consult the suppliers of these software utilities, for
purchase, installation and configuration of LAPLINK, PC
ANYWHERE or similar.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Protocol used is RS-232C. Data framing is 8n1.
Communication speed is 19200 baud.
Communication is Half Duplex: sending and receiving of
information cannot be performed at the same time.
RS-232 logic levels uses:

Logic 0: +3 to +25 volts to signify a "Space"
Logic: 1-3 to -25 volts for a "Mark").
Any voltage in between these regions (i.e. between
+3 and -3 Volts) is undefined.

10.2. AUTO COOL/HEAT OPERATION MODE

In Auto Cool/Heat (ACH) mode requested by Indoor units,
CS-NET will first check if the Outdoor Unit is
FS/FS2/FS3/FSG/HG/HRG (FS#/HG/HRG) or FX/FX3/FXG
(FX#) before deciding if it is necessary to change the mode.
Then, CS-Net will carry out the following calculation in order
to decide the next mode:
FS#
CS-Net will consider all Indoor Units running on the same
Outdoor Unit, even if ACH mode is not requested by some
Indoor Units. CS-Net will therefore calculate as follows:
Diff temp(1)
Diff temp(2)
.
Diff temp(n)
Diff temp
Where:
= Inlet Air temp(1) - setting temp(1)

= Inlet Air temp(2) - setting temp(2)
= Inlet Air temp(n)1 - setting temp(n)
= (Diff temp(1) + Diff temp(2) + ... + Diff
temp(n)) / n
Diff temp(i) = temperature difference between

Inlet Air temp (see also section 4.3.4) and
setting temp of Indoor Unit number i
n = Number of Indoor Units on the same
Outdoor Unit
Diff temp = Average of all Indoor Units
temperature differences.
FX#
If more then one Indoor Unit is connected to the same CHbox, then this CH-Box is considered as an FS# Outdoor Unit
by CS-Net.
CS-Net will only make this calculation for Indoor Units in
ACH mode. Therefore, CS-Net will calculate for each
independent Indoor Unit:
Diff temp
= Inlet Air temp (see also section 4.3.4) setting temp
This Diff temp will be used, in order to decide the next
operation mode of all FS# Indoor Units, all same CH-Box
Indoor Units or independent FX# Indoor Unit.
When the ACH mode in FS# system or CH-Box group

system has been selected, the CS-Net will check all
Indoor units. If one unit is on Local Control and the
system needs to change the mode, CS-Net will change
to Central Control, change the Operation mode and will
then return to Local Control again. CS-Net will take
around 10 minutes complete this procedure.
The setting temperature used to calculate the Diff.
temperature will be:
- Setting Temperature selected by CS-Net when the Indoor
Unit is using Central Control.
- Setting Temperature selected by the user when the Indoor
Unit is using Local Control.
If the Temperature is lower than USERMIN, it will use
USERMIN
if the Temperature is higher than USERMAX, it will use
USERMAX
The MAXOAT must be lower than the equivalent Dry Bulb
(DB) temperature of the maximum outdoor ambient
temperature range for Heating mode:
Maximum ambient temperature range for Heating mode =
15,5 WB
Equivalent Dry Bulb temperature:
Relative humidity 95% = 16 DB
Relative humidity 50% = 22 DB etc...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
11. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTION
ANSWER
Can the CS-NET be

operated without a
Remote Controller
PC-2H or PC-2H2?
There are certain functions which need the Remote Controller to activate them. This applies
to both UTOPIA and SET FREE systems
1. In Auto C/H and Heat mode, the 4 C shift offset must be cancelled, or a conflict will
occur with CS-NET when using the Auto C/H or Heat mode. This shift cancellation
can only be made with the PC-2H or PC-2H2 (see Service Manual for details). If the
system is to be used only for Cooling or if Remote Sensors are present (not possible
on RPK series FSGM), then the operation can be controlled by CS-NET alone. See
also sections 4.3.4 and 4.7.
2. The CN 3 and CN 4 Remote On/Off functions can only function when the Remote
Controller PC-2H or PC-2H2 is fitted, as the On/Off signal switches through the
Remote Controller.
If therefore, neither of the above functions are needed then the system will operate
with the CS-NET alone.
See Tables at the end of Section 4 for more detail.
Can the CS-NET be

operated with PC-5H
alone?
The PC-5H has no possibility to cancel the 4C shift so it cannot be used with CS-NET in
the heating or Auto mode without a PC-2H2.
The RPK series FSGM

wall mounted units are
supplied with Infra Red
Remote Controllers as
standard. How is this
affected when CS-NET
is installed?
The CS-NET will not recognise these RPK units in their standard form. It is therefore
necessary to disconnect the Infra Red receiver connector CN25 on the PCB and connect a
cable Remote Controller PC-2H2, or an Infra Red receiver unit, to CN13.
When using the Timer

function, is it possible
to Start the units at a
given time in the
morning by central
control and then give
the control locally for
the rest of the day?
Yes. For example, If the time is set for the units to start at 08:00h in cooling, 22C and in
Central Control, a second time can be set at 08:10h with the same settings as previously,
but without Central Control (Loc will be shown in the timer program). When the selection is
made for change to Local control and the Set Timer is clicked, a screen message will
appear as shown below.
This message means that a time must be selected in Central Control before it can be
changed at a later time into Local Control as described in the example above.
Click on OK and the selection will be saved
How many timer
settings can be made
per day for each Indoor
Unit?
Up to 60 settings per unit.
Is there a minimum time

interval between
consecutive timer
settings?
Yes, 10 minutes.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
11
81
QUESTION
ANSWER
What is 4C shift?
The majority of air conditioning units are mounted at high level, either in the ceiling or below
the ceiling. In heating operation, the warmer air stays at high level resulting in the air
returning to the unit temperature sensor being higher than that at body level. To compensate
for this stratification effect, 4C is internally added to the set temperature when calculating
the control parameters.
Can CS-NET operate

with the optional Infra
Red Remote Contrllers
for all the Indoor Units?
Yes. The receiver unit is connected to CN 13 on the PCB which is the normal connection for
the Remote Controller. The CS-NET can therefore access the system.
Note : Information sent from the CS-NET will not appear on the Remote Controller nor will
fault code or filter check information. Fault codes will be available only on CS-NET or on the
7 segment display in the Outdoor Unit.
If I want to operate a
mixture of UTOPIA and
SET FREE on one CSNET, will I have to use 2
separate software
programs?
No. A separate interface will be needed for UTOPIA, for FS/FS2/FX and FS3/FSG/FXG, but
all three systems will operate on one CS-NET Software. When the serial ports and ISA
board have been correctly programmed in Service Partner, all of the units will appear on the
same screen
If the Computer is
switched off will the
system also switch off ?
No, the system will continue to run under the conditions last set.
- UTOPIA/FS/FS2/FX systems with PC-2H:
It will not be possible to change the settings locally: The units can only be switched on
and off locally.
- FSG/FS3/FXG/FX3 systems with PC-2H2:
Central control will deactivate after a short time allowing control to be made locally.
Can the CS-NET be preprogrammed for

Summer and Winter ?
Yes. When the Auto configuration has been completed it can be saved under 2 separate file
names e.g. Summer and Winter. Each file can be programmed separately and saved. At the
start of each season, the current file can be closed and the respective file can be opened
and started. The system will then change to the new season conditions.
If a computer failure
occurs and the system
is running in Central
Control how can the
parameters be changed.
The system can be reverted to local control by switching off the power to the outdoor and
Indoor Units and switching on again. The units can then be operated from the local remote
controllers.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
12. TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEM
A communication
fault appears at
frequent intervals
even though the
system operates
normally.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
a. The cable lengths are near to the
maximum recommended lengths,
resulting in a high voltage drop and
consequently a communications failure if
the mains voltage reduces during high
demands.
SOLUTION
a. Reduce the cable length if possible, or
replace the cable with one having a larger
cross section to reduce the voltage drop.
b. Check all cable connections and remake if
necessary.
b. Faulty connection of the cables,

resulting in high voltage drop even
though the cable lengths are within the
recommended lengths.
a. Green LED on
External interface
does not light.
b. Yellow LED on
External interface
des not light or
lights
continuously.
a. Transformer or Interface is damaged or

bad contact.
b. No communication between interface
and first unit or the wrong serial port
has been selected.
a. If transformer delivers 12V and the

contacts are good, replace the interface.
Replace the transformer if 12V is not
available.
b. Check connections between interface and
first unit and ensure that the connections
correspond to the wiring instructions in
the manual. Change interface if
connections are good.
No units detected
after Auto
configuration has
been completed.
CS-Port configuration is wrong.

Communication port and interface has
not been set correctly.
AutoConfiguration
does not detect all
units installed.
a. Wiring length is longer than the

maximum recommended lengths,
resulting in a high voltage drop and
consequently a communications failure if
the mains voltage reduces during high
demands.
a. Reduce the cable length if possible, or

replace the cable with one having a larger
cross section to reduce the voltage drop.
b. Faulty connection of the cables,

resulting in high voltage drop even
though the cable lengths are within the
recommended lengths.
c. Check H-Link cable connections of all

units not detected by CS-Net.
c. A system is connected independantly of

the H-link connetion. CS-Net will
therefore not recognise these units
Set CS-Port following indications in

chapter ## and restart Auto
