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.
Use the proper tools to move heavy objects. Move units carefully and set them down gently.

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.

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.

ATTENTION: In accordance with the operating conditions the fans can be cleaned periodically. A fan can start a any time, even if the unit has been shut down.
2.1 Basic Information
MicroTech is a system for controlling single or dual-circuit air/water-cooled liquid chillers. MicroTech controls compressor start-up necessary to maintain the desired heat exchanger leaving water temperature. In each unit mode it controls the operation of the condensers to maintain the proper condensation process in each circuit.
Safety devices are constantly monitored by MicroTech to ensure their safe operation. MicroTech also gives access to a Test routine covering all inputs and outputs. All MicroTech controls can work in accordance with three independent modes:
- Local mode: the machine is controlled by commands from the user interface.
- Remote mode: the machine is controlled by remote contacts (volt-free contacts).
- Network mode: the machine is controlled by commands from a BAS system. In this case, a data communication cable is used to connect the unit to the BAS.
When the MicroTech system operates autonomously (Local or Remote mode) it retains all of its own control capabilities but does not offer any of the features of the Network mode. In this case monitoring of the unit operational data is still allowed.

text_image
Enter Password 2 / 2 Enter PW * * * *3.2 Passwords
The HMI structure is based on access levels that means that each password will disclose all the settings and parameters allowed to that password level. Basic informations about the status can be accessed without the need to enter the password. The user UC handles two level of passwords:
| USER | 5321 |
| MAINTENANCE | 2526 |
The following information will cover all data and settings accessible with the maintenance password. User password will disclose a subset of the settings explained in chapter 4.
In the Enter Password screen, the line with the password field will be highlighted to indicate that the field on the right can be changed. This represents a setpoint for the controller. Pressing the push'n'roll the individual field will be highlighted to allow an easy introduction of the numeric password. By changing all fields, the 4 digits password will be entered and, if correct, the additional settings available with that password level will be disclosed.

text_image
Enter Password 2 / 2 Enter PW 5 * * *The password will time out after 10 minutes and is cancelled if a new password is entered or the control powers down. Entering an invalid password has the same effect as continuing without a password. It is changeable from 3 to 30 minutes via the Timer Settings menu in the Extended Menus.
3.3 Editing
The Editing Mode is entered by pressing the navigation wheel while the cursor is pointing to a line containing an editable field. Once in the edit mode pressing the wheel again causes the editable field to be highlighted. Turning the wheel clockwise while the editable field is highlighted causes the value to be increased. Turning the wheel counter-clockwise while the editable field is highlighted causes the value to be decreased. The faster the wheel is turned, the faster the value is increased or decreased. Pressing the wheel again cause the new value to be saved and the keypad/display to leave the edit mode and return to the navigation mode.

As soon as the new password is communicated, the follow steps allow the customer to change the Option Set by himself:
- Wait for the circuits are both OFF, then, from the Main Page, Main Menu→Unit Enable→Unit→Disable
- Go to Main Menu→Commission Unit→Configuration→Software Options
- Select the Options to Activate
- Insert the Password
- Wait for the States of the selected options going to On
- Apply Changes→Yes (it will reboot the controller)
The Password is changeable only if the machine is working in safe conditions: both the circuits are in the State Off.

5 WORKING WITH THIS UNIT
This section contains a guide on how to deal with the everyday usage of the unit. Next sections describe how to perform routine tasks on the unit, such as:
- Unit Setup
- Unit/Circuit start-up
- Alarm handling
- BMS Control
- Battery replacement
5.1 Unit Setup
Before starting up the unit, some basic settings need to be set by the customer according to the application.
• Control Source (4.2.2)
• Available Modes (4.7)
• Temperature Settings (5.1.3)
• Alarm Settings (4.11.1)
- Pump Settings (5.1.3.3)
• Power Conservation (4.2.10)
- Date/Time (4.2.8)
- Scheduler (4.2.9)
5.1.1 Control Source
This function allows to select which source should be used for unit control. The following sources are available:
| Local | Unit is enabled by local switches placed into the switchbox, chiller mode (cool, cool w/glycol, ice), LWT setpoint and capacity limit are determined by local settings in the HMI. |
| Network | Unit is enable by a remote switch, chiller mode, LWT setpoint and capacity limit are determined by an external BMS. This function requires:Remote enable connection to a BMS (unit on/off switch must be in remote)Communication module and its connection to a BMS. |
More parameters about network control can be found in 4.2.2.
5.1.2 Available Mode Setting
The following operating modes can be selected through the Available modes menu 4.7:
| Mode | Description | Unit Range |
| Cool | Set if chilled water temperature up to 4°C is required. No glycol is generally needed in the water circuit, unless ambient temperature may reach low values. | A/C and W/C |
| Cool w/Glycol | Set if chilled water temperature below 4°C is required. This operation requires proper glycol/wate mixture in the evaporator water circuit. | A/C and W/C |
| Cool/Ice w/Glycol | Set in case a dual cool/ice mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double setpoint which is activated through a customer supplied switch, according to the following logic:Switch OFF: The chiller will work in cooling mode with the Cool LWT 1 being as the Active SetpointSwitch ON: The chiller will work in ice mode with the Ice LWT as the Active Setpoint. | A/C and W/C |
| Ice w/Glycol | Set if ice storage is required. The application requires the compressors to operate at full load until the ice bank is completed, and then to stop for at least 12 hours. In this mode the compressor(s) will not operate at part load, but will work only in on/off mode. | A/C and W/C |

The following modes allow to switch the unit between heat mode and one of the previous cool mode (Cool, Cool w/Glycol, Ice)
| Heat/Cool | Set in case a dual cool/heat mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double functioning which is activated through the Cool/Heat switch on the electric box:Switch COOL: The chiller will work in cooling mode with the Cool LWT 1 as the Active Setpoint.Switch HEAT: The chiller will work in heat pump mode with the Heat LWT 1 as the Active Setpoint. | W/C |
| Heat/Cool w/Glycol | Set in case a dual cool/heat mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double functioning which is activated through the Cool/Heat switch on the electric box:Switch COOL: The chiller will work in cooling mode with the Cool LWT 1 as the Active Setpoint.Switch HEAT: The chiller will work in heat pump mode with the Heat LWT 1 as the Active Setpoint | W/C |
| Heat/Ice w/Glycol | Set in case a dual cool/heat mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double functioning which is activated through the Cool/Heat switch on the electric box:Switch ICE: The chiller will work in cooling mode with the Ice LWT as the Active Setpoint.Switch HEAT: The chiller will work in heat pump mode with the Heat LWT 1 as the Active Setpoint. | W/C |
| Pursuit | Set in case of double water control cool and contemporary heat. Evaporator leaving water temperature follows the Cool LWT 1 setpoint. Condenser leaving water temperature follows the Heat LWT 1 setpoint. | W/C |
| Mode | Description | Unit Range |
| Test | Enables the Manual Control of the unit. The manual test feature helps in debugging and checking the operational status of sensors and actuators. This feature is accessible only with the maintenance password in the main menu. To activate the test feature is required to disable the Unit from the Q0 switch and change the available mode to Test (see section 5.2.2). | A/C and W/C |
It has to be noted that in case the selected mode cannot be managed by the unit, it will revert to Cool.
5.1.3 Temperature Settings
Purpose of the unit is to keep the evaporator leaving water temperature as close as possible to a pre-set value, called Active Setpoint. The Active Setpoint is calculated by the unit controller based on the following parameters:
• Available Modes
- Double setpoint input
- Scheduler state
- LWT Setpoint
- Setpoint Reset
Operation mode and LWT setpoint can also be set via network if the appropriate control source has been selected.
5.1.3.1 LWT Setpoint Setting
Setpoint range is limited according to the selected operating mode. The controller includes:
- two set points in cooling mode
- two set points in heating mode (W/C units only))
• one set point in ice mode
The above setpoints are activated according to Operating mode, Double Setpoint or Scheduler selection. If the Time Scheduler is enabled the Double Setpoint input state will be ignored by the controller.
The table below lists the LWT Setpoint being activated according to the operation mode, the double setpoint switch status and the scheduler state. The table also reports the defaults and the range allowed for each setpoint.
| Operating Mode | Units | Double Setpoint Input | Scheduler | LWT Setpoint | Default | Range |
| Cool | W/C | OFF | Off, On Setpoint 1 | Cool LWT 1 | 7.0°C | 4.0°C ÷ 15.0°C |
| ON | On Setpoint 2 | Cool LWT 2 | 7.0°C | 4.0°C ÷ 15.0°C | ||
| Heat | W/C | OFF | Off, On Setpoint 1 | Heat LWT 1 | 45.0°C | 30.0°C ÷ 55.0°C(*) |
| ON | On Setpoint 2 | Heat LWT 2 | 45.0°C | 30.0°C ÷ 55.0°C(*) |
The LWT setpoint can be overridden in case the setpoint reset (for details see chapter 5.1.4.3).
5.1.3.2 Thermostat Control Settings
Thermostat control settings, allows to set up the response to temperature variations and the precision of the thermostat control. Default settings are valid for most applications, however site specific conditions may require adjustments in order to have a smooth and precise temperature control or a quicker response of the unit.
The control will start the first circuit if the controlled temperature is higher (Cool Mode) or lower (Heat Mode) than the active setpoint (AS) of at least a Start Up DT (SU) value. Once circuit capacity exceeds the Hi Ld Stg Up % another circuit is switched on. When controlled temperature is within the deadband (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.
In the Shutdown area the whole unit is switched off. In particular, a compressor will be shut down if it is required to unload below the Lt Ld Stg Dn % capacity.
Loading and unloading speeds are calculated by a proprietary PID algorithm. However, maximum the rate of water temperature decrease can be limited through the parameter Max Pulldn.

Circuits are always started and stopped to guarantee the balancing of running hours and number or starts in multiple circuits units. This strategy optimizes the lifetime of compressors, inverters, capacitors and all the others circuit components.

The UC can manages one or two water pumps for both evaporator and condenser.
The following options are available to control the pump(s):
1 Only Set to this in case of single pump or twin pump with only #1 operational (f.e. in case of maintenance on #2)
2 Only Set to this in case of twin pump with only #2 operational (f.e. in case of maintenance on #1)
Auto Set for automatic pump start management. At each chiller start, the pump with the least number of hours will be activated.
1 Primary Set to this in case of twin pump with #1 running and #2 as a backup
2 Primary Set to this in case of twin pump with #2 running and #1 as a backup
5.1.4 Power Conservation
Demand limit function allows the unit to be limited to a specified maximum load. Capacity limit level is defined with an external 4-20 mA signal and linear relationship. 4 mA indicate maximum capacity available whereas 20 mA indicates minimum capacity available.
With demand limit function is not possible shutdown the unit but only unload it until minimum admissible capacity. Demand limit related setpoints available through this menu are listed in the table below.

line
| Demand Limit [mA] | Capacity Limit [%] | | ----------------- | ------------------ | | 4 | Maximum Capacity | | 20 | Minimum Capacity || Parameter | Description |
| Unit Capacity | Displays current unit capacity |
| Demand Limit En | Enables demand limit |
| Demand Limit | Displays active demand limit |
5.1.4.2 Current Limit (Optional)
Current limit function allows to control unit power consumption taking current drawn below a specific limit. Starting from the Current Limit Setpoint defined through the HMI or BAS communication, user can change the limit.
5.1.4.3 Setpoint Reset
The setpoint reset function overrides the chilled water temperature selected through the interface, when certain circumstances occur. This feature helps in reducing energy consumption optimizing comfort as well. Three different control strategies can be selected:
- Setpoint Reset by an external signal (4-20mA)
- Setpoint Reset by Evaporator T (Return)
The following setpoints are available through this menu:
| Parameter | Description |
| Setpoint Reset | Set the Setpoint Reset mode (None, 4-20 mA, Return, OAT) |
| Max Reset | Max Setpoint Reset (valid for all active modes) |
| Start Reset DT | Used on Setpoint Reset by Evaporator DT |
5.1.4.4 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 | | ------ | ------ | | 0 | LWT SP | | 4mA | LWT SP | | 20mA | LWT SP + MR || Parameter | Default | Range |
| Max Reset (MR) | 5.0°C | 0.0°C ÷ 10.0°C |
| Active Setpoint (AS) | ||
| LWT Setpoint (LWT SP) | Cool/Ice LWT | |
| Signal | 4-20mA External signal |
5.1.4.5 Setpoint Reset by Evaporator Return Temperature
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.

line
| SRΔT | AS | |------|----| | 0 | AS | | >SRΔT | 0 || Parameter | Default | Range |
| Max Reset (MR) | 5.0°C | 0.0°C ÷ 10.0°C |
| Start Reset DT (SRAT) | 5.0°C | 0.0°C ÷ 10.0°C |
| Active Setpoint (AS) | ||
| LWT Target (LWT SP) | Cool/Ice LWT |
5.1.4.6 Soft Load
Soft Loading is a configurable function used to ramp up the unit capacity over a given time period, usually used to influence building electrical demand by gradually loading the unit. The setpoints that control this function are:
| Parameter | Description |
| Softload En | Enables soft loading |
| Softload Ramp | Duration of the soft load ramp |
| Starting Cap | Begin capacity limit. Unit will increase capacity from this value to 100% over the time specified by the Softload Ramp setpoint. |
5.1.5 Date/Time
5.1.5.1 Date, Time and UTC Settings
See 0.
5.1.6 Scheduler
Unit On/Off can be managed automatically through the function Time Scheduler enabled when the parameter Unit Enable is set to Scheduler. For each day of the week user can define six time slots and choose for each time slot one of following mode:
| Parameter | Description |
| Off | Unit Off |
| On Setpoint 1 | Unit On and Cool LWT 1 is the active setpoint |
| On Setpoint 2 | Unit On and Cool LWT 2 is the active setpoint |

5.2.2 Prepare the unit to start
The unit starts only if all the enable setpoints/signals are active:
- Unit Switch Enable (signal) = Enable
- Keypad Enable (setpoint) = Enable
• BMS Enable (setpoint) = Enable
5.2.2.1 Unit Switch Enable
Each unit is equipped with a Main selector installed outside the front panel of the unit switchbox. As shown in the pictures below, for VZ units, two different positions can be selected: Local, Disable:

Local With the Q0 switch in this position the unit is enabled. Pump will start if all other enable signals are set to enable and at least one compressor is available to run

Disable With the Q0 switch in this position the unit is disabled. Pump will not start in normal operational condition. Compressor are kept disabled independently from the status of the individual enable switches.
5.2.3 Keypad Enable
The Keypad enable setpoint is not accessible by user password level. If it is set to "Disable", contact your local maintenance service to check if it can be changed to Enable.
5.2.3.1 BMS Enable
The last enable signal is coming through the high level interface, that is from a Building Management System. The unit can be enabled/disabled from a BMS connected to the UC using a communication protocol. In order to control the unit over the network, the Control Source setpoint must be turned in "Network" (default is Local) and Network En Sp must be "Enable" (4.2.2). If disabled, check with your BAS company how the chiller is operated.
5.3 Condensation Control
Condenser Entering Water Temperature is controlled in order to achieve best chiller efficiency within compressor envelope limits. To do this, application manages the outputs for the control of the following condensation devices:
- Tower fan #1...4 by mean of 4 on/off signals. Tower fan # state is on when Cond EWT is greater than the Cond EWT setpoint. Tower fan # state is off when Cond EWT is lower than Setpoint – Diff. The picture below represents an example of activation and deactivation sequence based on Cond EWT present value relation with set points and differentials listed in 4.2.4.

The following graph is an example of the modulating signal behavior in case of a PID control supposed to be purely proportional.
6 ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
The UC protects the unit and the components from operating in abnormal conditions. Protections can be divided in preventions and alarms. Alarms can then be divided in pump-down and rapid stop alarms. Pump-down alarms are activated when the system or sub-system can perform a normal shutdown in spite of the abnormal running conditions. Rapid stop alarms are activated when the abnormal running conditions require an immediate stop of the whole system or sub-system to prevent potential damages.
The UC displays the active alarms in a dedicated page and keep an history of the last 50 entries divided between alarms and acknowledges occurred. Time and date for each alarm event and of each alarm acknowledge are stored.
The UC also stores alarm snapshot of each alarm occurred. Each item contains a snapshot of the running conditions right before the alarm has occurred. Different sets of snapshots are programmed corresponding to unit alarms and circuit alarms holding different information to help the failure diagnosis.
In the following sections it will also be indicated how each alarm can be cleared between local HMI, Network (by any of the high level interfaces Modbus, Bacnet or Lon) or if the specific alarm will clear automatically. The following symbols are used:
| ☑ | Allowed |

7.1 Energy Meter including Current Limit (Optional)
An energy meter can be optionally installed on the unit. The energy meter is connected through Modbus to the unit controller, which can display all relevant electrical data such as:
• Line to Line Voltage (per phase and average)
• Line Current (per phase and average)
- Active Power
- Cos Phi
• Active Energy
All these data can be also accessed from a BMS by connecting it to a communication module. See the communication module manual for details on the device and parameter settings.
Both the energy meter device and the unit controller need to be properly set. The instructions below detail how to set the energy meter. Refer to the specific instructions of the energy meter for more detail on the operation of the device.
| Energy Meter Settings (Nemo D4-L / Nemo D4-Le) | ||
| Password (Down+Enter) | 1000 | |
| Connection | 3-2E | three phase Aron System |
| Address | 020 | |
| Baud | 19.2 | kbps |
| Par | None | parity bit |
| Time Out | 3 | sec |
| Password 2 | 2001 | |
| CT ratio | see CT label | current transformer ratio (i.e if CT is 600:5, set to 120) |
| VT ratio | 1 | no voltage transformers (unless 690V chiller) |
Once the energy meter has been configured, do the following steps in the unit controller:
• From Main Menu, go to View/Set Unit → Commission Unit → Configuration → Unit
- Set Energy Mtr = Nemo D4-L or Nemo D4-Le
The energy meter option integrates the current limit function, which allows the unit to limit its capacity in order not to exceed a pre-defined current setpoint. This setpoint can be set in the unit display or can be changed from an external 4-20 mA signal.
The current limit must be set according to the following instructions:
- From Main Menu, go to View/Set Unit → Power Conservation
The following settings related to current limit option are available into the menu:
Unit Current Displays the unit current
Current Limit Displays the active current limit (which can be given by an external signal if unit is in network mode)
Current Lim Sp Set the current limit setpoint (if unit is in local mode)
7.2 Rapid Restart (Optional)
This chiller can activate a Rapid Restart (optional) sequence in reaction to a power failure. A digital contact is used to inform the controller that the feature is enabled. The feature is configured in the factory.
Rapid 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 Chiller Enable setpoint is set to Enable 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 can depend on system conditions and load.
