START UP
Start up
The following operations must be carried out only by properly trained personnel. To make the contractual warranty effective, start
up must be carried out by authorized service centres.
Before calling the service centre it is advisable to make sure that all the installation steps have been completed (positioning, electrical
connections, hydraulic connections).
Preliminary checks before turning on

1. Verify that :
- the unit has not suffered visible damages due to transport or positioning
- the unit is placed on an horizontal surface able to bear its weight
- the minimum operating area are respected
- the ambient conditions comply with the provided operating limits
- the hydraulic and electrical connections has been carried out correctly
2. Disconnect the unit power suply line at the start and make sure that :
- the unit power supply line complies with the regulations in force
- the screws, fastening the electrical cables to the components inside the electrical panel of the unit, are well tightened (vibrations
during transport phases could have caused some loosening)
3. Connect the unit power supply line and verify that :
- the voltage of the power supply line complies with the the nominal one of the unit
- for three phase power supply units, the unbalance between the phases is lower than 2% (a higher value produces an excesive
current input on one or more phases causing possible damages to the electrical components of the unit)
NOTE. Example of phase unbalance calculation

- Read the value of the three line voltages using a voltmeter :
line voltage between phases L1 and L2 : V1-2 = 390 V
- Calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum value of the measured line voltages :
ΔVmax = max ( V1-2 ; V2-3 ; V3-1 ) - min ( V1-2 ; V2-3 ; V3-1 ) = V2-3 - V1-2 = 397 - 390 = 7 V
- Calculate the average line voltage value :
Δaverage = ( V1-2 + V2-3 + V3-1 ) / 3 = ( 390 + 397 + 395 ) / 3 = 394 V
- Calculate the percentage unbalance value :
ΔVmax / Vaverage x 100 = 7 / 394 x 100 = 1,78 % < 2 %
Turning on
Turn on the main switch of the unit (ON position).
A wrong sequence of the power supply phases is immediately detected by the phase sequence controller (standard on all the three
phase power supply units) and reported on the display of the unit. To eliminate the error switch each other two phases of the power
supply line.
Start all the plant components necessary to guarantee an adequate water flow rate on the plant hydraulic circuit.
Activate the unit in cooling or in heating mode operating on the user interface and setting a set point suitable to require the unit to
work.
Checks and adjustments after turning on

Make sure that :
- there are no refrigerant leakages (all the caps of the pressure connections must be fitted and screwed down)
- the saturation temperature (dew point) corresponding to the condensing pressure is about 10-15°C higher than the outdoor air
temperature in cooling and about 5°C higher than the water outlet temperature in heating
- the saturation temperature (dew point) corresponding to the evaporating pressure is about 5°C lower than the water outlet tem-
perature in cooling and about 5-10°C lower than the outdoor air temperature in heating
- the superheating and the subcooling are between 5°C and 10°C
- the compressor outlet temperature is 30-40°C higher than the saturation temperature (dew point) corresponding to the conden-
sing pressure
- the difference between the water inlet and outlet temperature from the plate heat exchanger of the unit is inside the limits provided,
as indicated in the section "Technical data and performances"
- the current absorbed by the compresor and the fans is lower than the maximum value admitted (FLA), as indicated in the section
"Technical data and performances"
N.B. The reported values are reference values, to be considered only for units operating with water flow rate and temperatures similar
to the nominal ones.

CONTROL SYSTEM
Alarms
Alarm activation and reset

The controller can perform a complete diagnosis of the unit, detecting all the operating faults and reporting a set of alarms.
Activation of an alarm involves :
• locking of the loads concerned
• reporting of the alarm code on the display (in case of simultaneous alarms the one with the lowest index is displayed whereas the
complete list of active alarms can be shown by accessing the “Status \ AL” menu)
• recording of the event in the alarms memory
Alarms that can damage the unit or the plant require a manual reset that implies an action by the operator to reset the controller
(pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time). It is reccomended to carefully check the cause of the alarm and make sure
the problem is eliminated before restarting the unit. In any case the unit restarts only if the cause of the alarm has disappeared.
Less critical alarms are automatically reset. As soon as the cause of the alarm is eliminated the unit starts working again and the
alarm code disappears from the display. Some of these alarms require a manual reset if the number of events per hour exceeds a
fixed limit.
Pressing any button it's possible to deactivate the alarm : alarm report disappears from the display, the alarm LED starts flashing
and the Alarm digital output is disabled. The deactivation of the alarm does not affect the alarm in progress.
Number of events per hour

For some alarms the number of events per hour is recorded : if, in the last hour, the number of events reaches a fixed limit, the alarm
reset change from automatic to manual.
Sampling of alarms occurs every 112 seconds. If an alarm is activated several times in a sampling period (112 seconds) it is counted
only once.
Esempio. If the fixed limit of events per hour is 3, in order to change from automatic to manual reset, tha alarm has to remain active
for a period of time between 2*112 seconds and 3*112 seconds.

The controller enables the recording of the alarms occurred during the unit operation (up to a maximum 99 events). The following
informations are recorded for each event :
• alarm code
• activation time
• activation date
• deactivation time
• deactivation date
• type of alarm (automatic or manual reset)
Such informations can be shown by accessing the “Programming \ EU” menu.
When the number of events recorded is higher than 99 the following events are recorded overwriting the oldest alarms.
The alarms memory can be cancelled by means of the Evr function available inside the “Programming \ FnC” menu, keeping pressed

CONTROL SYSTEM
Functions available for the user
Operating mode selection

It's possible to select the operating mode by accessing the “Operating mode” menu :
- Cooling COOL
- Heating HEAT
- STAND BY * StdBY
* The antifreeze function is still active.
Remote STAND BY
This function allows remote selection of the STANDBY mode. If the input is activated (open contact) the controller is in STANDBY
mode and the operating mode can not be modified from the user interface.
The digital input used is DI4. Set the parameter CF19 = -27 to enable this function.
Remote Cooling-Heating
This function allows remote selection of Cooling or Heating mode. If the input is activated (open contact) the unit is in heating mode. If
the input is not activated (closed contact) the unit is in cooling mode. The operating mode can not be modified from the user interface
(but STAND BY mode can be selected).
The digital input used is DI5. To enable this function set the parameter CF20 = 14.
Set point
The set point value in cooling (COOL) and heating (HEAT) can be set by accessing the “Status \ Sp” menu. These values must be
between a fixed maximum and minimum value. The purpose of the controller is to keep the water temperature at the unit inlet as close
as possible to the set value, by activating the compressor according to an on-off logic.
Operating in heat pump mode
For all the heat pump units the parameter tr01 enables operation in heat pump mode when its value is 1. It is possible to set an ou-
tdoor air temperature value (parameter tr17) below which heat pump mode is locked (in any case the integrative electrical heaters,
if present, remain activated).
Antifreeze
The plate heat exchanger is protected by the activation of an electrical antifreeze heater and the activation of the antifreeze alarm,
occurring in sequence when the temperature of the water at the exchanger outlet reaches dangerous values. The buffer tank is pro-
tected by the antifreeze heater (accessory) activated together with the plate heat exchanger heater.
When the outdoor air temperature approaches 0°C, if the unit is not working, the pump is activated in any case to prevent excessive
cooling of the water in the pipes.
Integrative electrical heaters
The parameter Hi02 enables the electrical heaters, as integration of the heat pump, when its value is 1. The heaters are activated
according to a two step logic depending on the unit inlet water temperature. When present, the heaters also carry out the storage
tank antifreeze function .
Dynamic defrost
The activation limit is modified in a dynamic way according to the outdoor air temperature.
Serial communication
The device is configured to communicate on a serial line using the MODBUS protocol. When the device is connected, it must be
assigned an address univocally identifying it among all the devices connected to the same serial line (“Modbus individual address”).
This address must be between 1 and 247 and is configurable by means of the parameter CF63 (see section on serial communication).
Operating hours recording
The controller can record the operating hours of compressor and pump. Access the “Status \ Hr” menu to see the values. The hours
are reset by pressing the SET button for long, while the hours of operation are displayed.
Power failure
In case of a power failure, when the power is restored the controller will return to the status before the power failure. If a defost cycle
was in progress the procedure is cancelled. All safety timing in progress are cancelled and reinitialized.
Clock
The controller is equipped with an internal clock to record date and time of each alarm occurred during unit operation (see “Alarms
memory”). The clock can be set by accessing the “Status \ CL” menu.
Modulating pump management
It is possible to set the rotational speed of the modulating pump in order to get the water flow rate required to mantain the desired
temperature difference between the water inlet and outlet. Modifying the parameters PI05 (for cooling mode) and PI11 (for heating
mode) from 40 to 100, the rotational speed of the pump changes from the minimum to the maximum speed.
34
CONTROL SYSTEM
Serial communication
The unit can communicate on a serial line using the Modbus communication protocol with RTU coding.
The unit can be connected to an RS485 network by means of the serial interface supplied as an accessory, and reply to the requests
of any master device connected to the network.
Serial line settings

The serial line must be set as follows :
• baud rate : 9600
• data bits : 8
• stop bits : 1
• parity : even
All the devices connected to the same serial line MUST use the same settings.
Device address
To communicate properly, each device connected to the serial network must have an univocal address (“Modbus individual address”)
contained between 1 and 247. This address can be set by modifying the parameter CF63.
Modbus commands
The Modbus commands implemented by the controller are :
• parameter reading 3 (Hex 03 : Read Holding Registers)
• parameter writing 16 (Hex 10 : Write Multiple Registers)
Addresses table
All the available resources are stored in the controller as WORD (2 byte) and therefore require the reading or writing of an entire
Modbus register. According to the Modbus protocol, to identify a register of address X the address X-1 must appear in the message.
Some registers contain more than one piece of information : in this case the bits representing the resource value are identified by
means of the number of bits used (“Bit number”) and by the least significant bit (“Lsb”). In the writing operation for these registers it
is necessary to read the current register value, modify the bits representing the resource concerned and rewrite the entire register.
Example.
Bit number = 4 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Lsb = 7 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0
Resource value = 3
The resources can be only read (R), only written (W) or read and written (RW).
To interpret the value written in the register it is necessary to consider the value of CPL, EXP and UM :
CPL : if the register represents a number with sign (CPL = Y) carry out the following conversion :
0 = register value < 32767 : resource value = register value

32768 = register value < 65535 : resource value = register value – 65536
EXP : indicates the exponent of the power of 10 to be multiplied by the register value to obtain the resource value.
EXP Moltiplicatore
-2 10-2 0,01
-1 10-1 0,1
0 100 1
1 101 10
2 102 100
MU : indicates the unit of measure of the resource

Probes characteristics
The temperature probes used are NTC 10K (10 kΩ at 25°C). Temperature Resistance
When the probe bulb is at the temperature of 25°C the electrical resi-
stance measurable at the probe ends is 10 kΩ. [°C] [kΩ]
The thermistor of these probes has a negative temperature coefficient: 0 25,7950
the electrical resistance value decreases as the temperature increases. 5 21,3963
10 17,7477
To find out if a temperature probe is faulty or disconnected, check the 15 14,7213
correspondence between the resistance value in kΩ and the bulb tem- 20 12,2110
perature in °C according to the table. 25 10,1287
30 8,4015
For a reliable verify it is not necessary to check all the single values but 35 6,9688
is enough to check some random values. If the instrument indicates 40 5,7805
neverending resistance then the probe is interrupted. 45 4,7948

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
IMPORTANT. MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS NOT ELECTRICALLY POWERED BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR MAIN-
TENANCE OPERATION. ALL ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY
SPECIALIZED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL, IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT SAFETY REGU-
LATIONS.
NB.: always make sure that the power supply lines (of the unit and of the integrative electrical heaters) are disconnected at the start
before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This section is extremely important for efficient operation of the unit during the years. A few operations carried out periodically can
avoid the need to call specialized personnel. The operations to be carried out do not require particular technical knowledge and con-
sist of simple checks of the components of the unit.
Contact an authorized service centre if maintenance is required.
Structure
To prevent noise and strange vibrations to rise make sure that the various steel parts are well fastened together and that the inspec-
tion panels are properly fixed to the unit.
In case of oxidation, treat with paints, suitable to avoid or reduce the problem, the parts of the unit affected.
Hydraulic plant
Visually check that the hydraulic plant is leaks free and is pressurized. Verify there is no air in the circuit (acting on the air vents).
Verify that the filters in the plant are clean.
Electrical plant
Verify that the power supply cable that connects the unit to the distribution panel is not affected by cuts, cracks or alterations that could
compromise the insulation. Contact an authorized service center if maintenance is required. After a first period of time from the first
start up and at every stop or seasonal start up carefully check that each electrical connection is well fixed.
Fans
Verify that the fans are well fixed to the protective grilles and to the structure of the unit. Check any unbalance of the fans pointed out
by anomalous vibrations and noise.
Finned coil
Accidental contact with the exchanger fins can cause small cuts. Use protective gloves to carry out the operations described below.
The exchangers must be able to ensure the maximum heat exchange, therefore their surfaces must always be clear of any dirt and
dust that can present on them due to the action of the fans. Using a brush, remove all the impurities present on the surface of the
coil. Clean the aluminium surface of the coil with a compressed air jet, making sure to aim the jet with the direction of the fins so as to
avoid damages. If the aluminium fins has been damaged, “comb” the coil with a special tool until the damage is completely eliminated.
Finned coil condensate drainage

Verify that, during the defrosting cycles that take place in heating mode, the drainage of the water from the finned pack occurs pro-
perly and that the drainage fitting on the unit basement is not clogged. If the flow is not correct, with low outdoor temperature, a layer
of ice could be generated on the unit basement and the operating of the unit could be compromised.
