1.1 General
Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be hazardous if certain factors particular to the installation are not considered: operating pressures, presence of electrical components and voltages and the installation site (elevated plinths and built-up up structures). Only properly qualified installation engineers and highly qualified installers and technicians, fully trained for the product, are authorized to install and start-up the equipment safely.
During all servicing operations, all instructions and recommendations, which appear in the installation and service instructions for the product, as well as on tags and labels fixed to the equipment and components and accompanying parts supplied separately, must be read, understood and followed.
Apply all standard safety codes and practices.
Wear safety glasses and gloves.

Do not operate on a faulty fan, pump or compressor before the main switch has been shut off. Overtemperature protection is auto-reset, therefore the protected component may restart automatically if temperature conditions allow it.
In some unit a push button is placed on a door of the unit electrical panel. The button is highlighted by a red color in yellow background. A manual pressure of the emergency stop button stops all loads from rotating, thus preventing any accident which may occur. An alarm is also generated by the Unit Controller. Releasing the emergency stop button enables the unit, which may be restarted only after the alarm has been cleared on the controller.

The emergency stop causes all motors to stop, but does not switch off power to the unit. Do not service or operate on the unit without having switched off the main switch.
1.2 Before switching the unit
Before switching on the unit read the following recommendations:
- When all the operations and all the settings have been carried out, close all the switchbox panels
- The switchbox panels can only be opened by trained personnel
- When the UC requires to be accessed frequently the installation of a remote interface is strongly recommended
- LCD display of the unit controller may be damaged by extremely low temperatures (see chapter 2.4). For this reason, it is strongly recommended to never power off the unit during winter, especially in cold climates.
1.3 Avoid electrocution
Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) recommendations may be permitted access to electrical components. It is particularly recommended that all sources of electricity to the unit be shut off before any work is begun. Shut off main power supply at the main circuit breaker or isolator.
IMPORTANT: This equipment uses and emits electromagnetic signals. Tests have shown that the equipment conforms to all applicable codes with respect to electromagnetic compatibility.
![]() | Direct intervention on the power supply can cause electrocution, burns or even death. This action must be performed only by trained persons. |
![]() | RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: Even when the main circuit breaker or isolator is switched off, certain circuits may still be energized, since they may be connected to a separate power source. |
![]() | RISK OF BURNS: Electrical currents cause components to get hot either temporarily or permanently. Handle power cable, electrical cables and conduits, terminal box covers and motor frames with great care. |
![]() | In accordance with the operating conditions the fans can be cleaned periodically. A fan can start at any time, even if the unit has been shut down. |

4.6 Thermostatic Control
Thermostatic control settings, allows to set up the response to temperature variations. Default settings are valid for most application, however plant specific conditions may require adjustments in order to have a smooth control or a quicker response of the unit.
The control will start the first compressor if the controlled temperature is higher (Cool Mode) or lower (Heat Mode) than the active setpoint of at least a Start Up DT value, whereas other compressors are started, step by step, if the controlled temperature is higher (Cool Mode) or lower (Heat Mode) than the active setpoint (AS) of at least a Stage Up DT (SU) value. Compressors stop if performed following same procedure looking to the parameters Stage Down DT and Shut Down DT.
| Cool Mode | Heat Mode | |
| First compressor starts | Controlled Temperature > Setpoint + Start Up DT | Controlled Temperature < Setpoint - Start Up DT |
| Other compressors start | Controlled Temperature > Setpoint + Stage Up DT | Controlled Temperature < Setpoint - Stage Up DT |
| Last compressor stop | Controlled Temperature < Setpoint - Shut Dn DT | Controlled Temperature > Setpoint - Shut Dn DT |
| Other compressors stop | Controlled Temperature < Setpoint - Stage Dn DT | Controlled Temperature > Setpoint - Stage Dn DT |
A qualitative example of compressors start-up sequence in cool mode operation is shown in the graph below.

line
| Time Segment | ElWT [°C] | SP+StartUpΔT | SP+StageUpΔT | | ------------------------- | --------- | ------------ | ------------ | | First Compressor On | ~1.0 | - | - | | Compressor starting inhibited for maximum pull down rate | - | - | - | | Other Compressors On | - | - | - | | Dead band zone | - | - | - |When controlled temperature is within the dead band (DB) error from the active setpoint (AS), unit capacity will not be changed.
If the leaving water temperature decreases below (Cool Mode) or rises above (Heat Mode) the active setpoint (AS), unit capacity is adjusted to keep it stable. A further decreasing (Cool Mode) or increasing (Heat Mode) of the controlled temperature of the Shut Down DT offset (SD) can cause circuit shutdown.

4.10.3.1 Setpoint Reset by OAT
The active setpoint is calculated applying a correction which is a function of ambient temperature (OAT). As temperature drops below the Start Reset OAT (SROAT), LWT setpoint is gradually increased until OAT reaches the Max Reset OAT value (MROAT). Beyond this value, the LWT setpoint is increased by the Max Reset (MR) value.

line
| OAT | A | | ------- | ----- | | MROAT | LWT SP + MR | | SROAT | LWT SP || Parameter | Range |
| Max Reset (MR) | 0.0^ ÷ 10.0^ |
| Start Reset DT | 10.0^ ÷ 29.4^ |
| Max Reset OAT (MROAT) | 10.0^ ÷ 29.4^ |
| Start Reset OAT (SROAT) | 10.0^ ÷ 29.4^ |
4.10.3.2 Setpoint Reset by External 4-20 mA signal
The active setpoint is calculated applying a correction based on an external 4-20mA signal. 4 mA corresponds to 0°C correction, while 20 mA corresponds to a correction of the active setpoint as set in Max Reset (MR).

line
| Signal | AS | |--------|--------| | 4mA | LWT SP | | 20mA | 1 || Parameter | Range |
| Max Reset (MR) | 0.0^ ÷ 10.0^ |
| Start Reset DT | 10.0^ ÷ 29.4^ |
| Max Reset OAT (MROAT) | 10.0^ ÷ 29.4^ |
| Start Reset OAT (SROAT) | 10.0^ ÷ 29.4^ |
4.10.3.3 Setpoint Reset by Return
The active setpoint is calculated applying a correction that depends on the evaporator entering (return) water temperature. As evaporator T becomes lower than the SR T value, an offset to the LWT setpoint is increasingly applied, up to the MR value when the return temperature reaches the chilled water temperature.

The Return Reset may affect negatively the chiller operation when operated with variable flow. Avoid to use this strategy in case of inverter water flow control.

Info 4 Rapid Restart Rapid Restart Disabled Power Off Time 60s ESC OKRapid restart is activated under the following conditions:
• The power failure exists for up to 180 seconds
• The unit and circuit switches are ON
- No unit or circuit alarms exist
• The unit has been running in the normal Run state
• The BMS Circuit Mode setpoint is set to Auto when the control source is Network
If the power failure is more than 180 seconds, the unit will start based on the setting of the Stop-to-Start cycle timer (minimum setting of 3 minutes) and load per standard unit without Rapid Restart.
When Rapid Restart is active, the unit will restart within 30 seconds of power restoration. The time to restore full load is less than 3 minutes.
4.16 FreeCooling Hydronic (Cooling Only)
Freecooling is started when the outside air temperature is lower than the entering water temperature by a predetermined freecooling delta T. Full freecooling will only be possible below a design temperature however logic will try to get the most out of the air temperature to optimize the overall performance of the chiller.
When freecooling is started, the freecooling valve is opened to let water pass through the freecooling coils and get cooled before entering the evaporator heat exchanger and go to the plant as leaving water temperature. Fans are started and then controlled to maintain the leaving water temperature to the active setpoint.
If the outside air temperature is not low enough to permit full freecooling and satisfy the plant load, the unit may start the mixed mode. In fact, if, with the fan at full speed, the leaving water temperature does not reach the active setpoint and remains above the Stage Up Temperature with a low slope, after a predetermined time a circuit can be started in mechanical mode. In this case, the fan speed will be adapted to control the minimum pressure ratio needed to guarantee the correct lubrication of compressors.

4.16.1 Glycol Free Freecoling
The Glycol Free option in Freecoling condition is characterized with the presence of an intermediate water/water heat exchanger connected to a water loop with glycol. The main water loop will be glycol free to simplify the waste water
management. This kind of chillers require an additional pump to circulate the glycol in the freecooling closed loop which is linked to the main loop through an intermediate heat exchanger. This pump will be always active when freecooling is active, in case in of freezing in the closed loop or OAT Lockout.
