Notes
- The number and the position of the dampers (Air conditioner — digit 8, Air conditioner Base Module — digit 4) should be chosen as a function of the system lay-out. Having a rack column in the left side of the air conditioner column (AC column), a damper is needed in the left side ("S" or "L" at the same digits, see Fig. b — Chap.3). Having rack columns in both sides of air conditioner column, two dampers are required ("E" or "2" at the same digits, see AC2 column in the Fig. d — Chap.3).
- In a XDFN system with (n) Rack columns and (n + 1) AC columns, (n) air conditioners will be "Base cooling" (B at digit 10) and just one should be "Redundant cooling" (R at digit 10).
- Air conditioning column (AC column) is supplied, as standard, with bottom connections and with long aesthetic doors and it is complete of base module and top plenum. The entire column is factory-assembled and is 2400 mm height. In case of transport problems (for instance in case of column too high) or request of rear connections, unit will have to be selected with short doors (see also information on para. 11.1). Air conditioner digits 8 and 12 will be set accordingly.
- When the smoke detection and fire extinguishing option is chosen (see para. 6.3), then digit 14 of air conditioner depends on system configuration, and it has to be set as follows:
a. 1 AC column + 1 rack column (see Fig. b - Chap.3), digit 14 of air conditioner set as 2;
b. 2 AC columns + 1 rack column (see Fig. c - Chap.3), one air conditioner with digit 14 set as 2, the other one with digit 14 as 1;
c. 3 AC columns + 2 rack columns (see Fig. d - Chap.3), two air conditioners with digit 14 set as 2, the other one with digit 14 as 1.

4 – Installation
ATTENTION: The conditioner must never be installed out of doors.
See drawings in Enclosures C.
4.1 - Base module
If there is no raised floor below the unit it is recommended to choose rear connections. See also information on Enclosure D-1.
5 – Refrigeration connections
5.1 – Refrigeration pipeline connections (A version)
The air condensing units are delivered helium—pressurized at 1 bar.

The discharge operation of the room unit pressurized with helium (at 1 bar) and the de-welding of the bottoms from the connections must be carried out as last operations, immediately followed by the connection and emptying of the whole system.
5.1.1 - General layout (Tab. a)
1) In soft or hard copper.
The diameter required is stated in Tab. b.
If the installer intends to use pipes of a larger diameter (e.g. for long winding runs) then consult HPAC Technical Sales Support.
Use as short refrigeration pipelines as possible to minimize the total charge of refrigerant and the pressure drops. For long runs (over 30 equivalent m) contact HPAC Technical Sales Support.
Lay the horizontal gas pipes with 1% downward gradient towards the refrigerant flow.
2) Reduce the number of bends, which must be of large radius, to a minimum.
3) Insulate the piping as specified in Tab. a. If the pipes are put next to electrical cables it is advised to insulate them to avoid damage to cable insulation.
4) There must be a minimum separation of 20 mm between the gas and liquid pipelines.
If this is not possible insulate both lines.
5) Support both horizontal and vertical pipes with vibration—damping clamps (which include rubber gaskets). Place these every 1.5 – 2 m.

When the pipes are more than 30 m long, contact Technical Support Department
5.1.3 – Installing pipelines
The discharge operation of the room unit pressurized with helium (at 1 bar) and the de-welding of the bottoms from the connections must be carried out as last operations, immediately followed by the connection and emptying of the whole system.
1) Lay the piping, taking note of the following:
- Welding:
• All joints must be braze—welded.
- Avoid butt welds by using sleeves or enlarging one of the pipes using a pipe opener.
- Use silver-based solders and the correct apparatus.
- Guarantee a correct weld as a refrigerant leak, or a faulty weld which leads to a leak later on, can seriously damage the air conditioner.
- Always use large—radius curves (bending radius at least equal to pipe diameter). Bend the pipes as follows:
- soft copper: by hand or bending device.
- hard copper: use preformed curves. Do not overheat the pipes when welding so as to minimize oxidation.
2) Connect the pipes to the condenser:
- Condensers with butt-welded pipe connections: cut the pipe, enlarge it and weld it to the pipeline.
- Condensers with threaded tap connections: flange the pipes and connect.
RESPECT THE DIRECTION OF REFRIGERANT FLOW (SEE LABELS ON REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS).
3) Wash out the pipelines as follows:
a) Plug up the free ends of the pipes.
b) Connect a helium or nitrogen cylinder, fitted with a reducer (max. pressure 10 bar), to the 14'' SAE Schrader valve of the condenser.
c) Pressurize the pipes with helium or nitrogen.
d) Unplug the pipes instantaneously.
e) Repeat a) - d) several times.
THIS OPERATION IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHEN HARD COPPER PIPING IS USED.
4) Open all the room unit shut-off valve.
5) Discharge the room unit pressurized with helium (at 1 bar) opening the charge valves so that all the branches of the circuit are discharged (e.g. on the receiver, on the low pressure side and on the compressor delivery).
6) De-weld the bottoms from the connections of the room unit.
7) Fix (weld) the pipes to the connections on the air conditioner.
8) Connect the refrigerant safety valve to the outdoor with a 16 copper pipe.

5.2.1 - R407C precharge (A version)
1) Open all cocks of the system including those used for pressurizing (ambient unit and condensing unit). By this operation all the components of the refrigerating circuit must be subject to vacuum.
2) Connect a proper, high efficiency vacuum pump (10) suitable for polyester oils to the couplings:
- Compressor intake and delivery using, if available, the three-way Rotalock cocks, coupling 1/4" SAE (make sure that all three ways are open), otherwise the Schrader valves welded on the pipings.
- Three-way Rotalock cock, coupling 1/4" SAE of the liquid receiver (12) (make sure that all three ways are open).
3) Provide for a connection with refrigerant cylinder before making vacuum.
4) Make the system vacuum up to 0.3 absolute mbar and after 3 hours check if 1.3 absolute mbar have not been exceeded. This condition warrants a humidity lower than 50 ppm inside the system. If the complete vacuum is not possible, this means that there are some leaks (to be removed according to the instructions in 8 below).
NEVER USE THE COMPRESSOR TO CREATE A VACUUM (THIS INVALIDATES ITS GUARANTEE).
5) Power the microprocessor control (QF8 on).
6) Go to the Electric Expansion Valve control display. Enter in manual simulation mode and open the valve with 5 V signal, see also user manual of electric expansion valve to change from automatic to manual mode and vice versa.
7) Break the vacuum as follows:
a) Close the pump cock (10) for the vacuum (10).
b) Open the cock of the refrigerant cylinder (11a) until the system reaches a pressure value of about 4 bar.

The refrigerant must be introduced and charged by taking only liquid fluid from the cylinder.
c) At this point both the vacuum pump and the refrigerant cylinder can be disconnected as follows:
c1) close the cylinder cock (11a)
c2) close the way 1/4" SAE of the Rotalock cocks and/or the connected Schrader valves.
8) Inspect all connections/joints using a leak detector. If a leak is found, empty the pipes and the condenser, seal the leak and repeat the instructions in 3) - 7).
9) Go to Electric Expansion Valve control in simulation mode, close the valve at 0 V signal, and exit from the menu. Switch off the air conditioner, so, at the next switching on, the expansion valve will be driven by its superheating control, automatically.
10) Now the machine is ready for completing the charge and the start—up.
11) Charge the refrigerant (ONLY LIQUID) by means of the charge valve placed at the evaporator inlet.

- IMPORTANT: fit a standard strainer on the inlet water piping.
- Place shut-off ball valves at the conditioner inlet and outlet to allow easy maintenance.
- It is advisable to install a water drain system at the lowest point in the circuit.
- Fully drain the piping before connecting it to the air conditioner.
6.3.1 - Notes for open circuit applications
- Use the unit with mains or well water. DO NOT USE WATER FROM AN EVAPORATIVE COOLING TOWER UNLESS THE FILLING WATER HARDNESS IS CONTROLLED.
- The water pressure must be 2 – 10 bar (if this is not so, contact the Technical Support Department).
•The required water flow at different temperatures is given in our catalogues or on request. - If necessary (very low water temperature) insulate both pipes using Armaflex insulation.
6.3.2 - Notes for closed circuit applications
- The installation in Fig. h is indicative only; for individual installations follow the project diagram.
- Install a pump system calculated on the basis of the flow and total head of the system (see project data), and controlled by the compressor running (see label on the unit).
•Insulate both pipes using Armaflex insulation. - VERY IMPORTANT: Add water and ethylene glycol to the circuit, when the ambient temperature is below zero (referring also to para. 6.4). Do not exceed the nominal operating pressure of the circuit components.
- Bleed air out of the circuit.
6.4 - Adding ethylene glycol (W only)

7.1.3 - Protection degree IP2x check
After whole of the connections and installation works, check and verify the protection degree IP2x (protection against finger access, std. IEC 60364-1) at the boundary of the air conditioner.
7.1.4 - Protective features of EC fan
The EC fan has been provided with the following protective features:
• Over temperature of electronics
•Over temperature of motor
- Locked rotor protection
- Short circuit at the motor output
With any of these failures, the motor stops (electronically – no potential separation), the status relay is released. NO automatic restart. To reset the alarm, power supply has to be switched off for min. 20s once motor is at standstill.
- Mains under—voltage detection: if mains voltage falls below 3ph/290Vac (typical value) for 5s minimum, motor will be swithed off (only by electronics, no potential separation), status relay is released. If mains voltage returns to correct values, the motor will restart automatically.
- Phase failure recognition: if one phase failes for 5s minimum, motor will be switched off (only by electronics, no potential separation), status relay is released. If all 3 phases return to correct values, the motor will restart automatically within 10–40s.
The power supply for an external speed setting potentiometer is short—circuit protected.
Motor is overload—protected via motor current limitation.
Warning! Leakage current of the motor is 7 mA roughly.

5) to manage the optional devices, i.e. fire extinguishing system, open door sensors, smokestat.
7.2.3 - PDU power limitations (see Fig. 4 - Enclosures F)
To reduce the risk of overload, do not load any single socket with more than 16A. Each PDU is protected with specific residual current MCB in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
7.2.4 - Power strip limitations (see Fig. 4 - Enclosures F)
To reduce the risk of overload, do not load any single strip with more than its rated maximum: 3400W, 16A.
7.2.5 - Smokestat (see Fig. 5 - Enclosures F)
This device is installed, as option, on the top rear side of the rack module. To reset the smokestat sensor, it is necessary to switch off and after to switch on the QF1 main switch located in the front electrical panel of rack module.
7.3 - Mutual connections between Cooling and Rack Module
Between the rack and the air conditioning modules, following connections are required to be set on the field:
•Auxiliary connections between rack and air conditioning
- Electrical connections between dampers of contiguous air conditioners.
- Fire detection and extinguishing system (opt.)
- Hirobus data cable between air conditioners of the same system.
Further details on the specific wiring diagram included inside the unit.
7.4 – Safety warnings and Standards
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES FOR INSTALLATION Check the grounding when installing the rack and the air conditioning units. Check the max power absorbed from each strip. Check the voltage before connecting any equipment to the PDU and before to switch on the XDFN. Open the main switch installed inside the rack and the air-conditioning before any maintenance operation. Maintenance operation to be done only by authorized staff. The product conforms to EU directives EN 60204-1.
8 – Cooling module start—up
8.1 - First start-up (or after long standstill)
TO PREVENT COMPRESSOR DAMAGE THE CRANKCASE(S) MUST BE PREHEATED FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS BEFORE CONDITIONER START—UP (FAILURE TO DO SO INVALIDATES THE GUARANTEE).
Start the air conditioner as follows:
1) Open all valves in the refrigeration circuit according to the instruction label attached to the valve.
2) W only: Open all valves in the water circuit according to the instruction label attached to the valve.
3) Ensure that the refrigerant charge is correct (see Chap. 5).
4) Using a leak detector, verify that there are no refrigerant leaks. If there are any, then repair the leak and recharge as described in Chap. 5.
5) At least 4 hours before start—up, close QS and QF8 on the electrical panel.
6) Verify the operation of the crankcase heater.
7) Check that there are no water leakages.
8) Close all MCBs on the electrical panel.
9) Check the supply voltage on all phases.
10) ENSURE THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN PREHEATED FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT.
11) Start the air conditioner by pressing the specific button on the Hiromatic control (local ON-OFF).
12) Check the electrical absorption of all components (see Tab. 4 Enclosures B).
13) Check the electrical absorption of the external condenser/Dry cooler.
14) If the phase sequence relay detects an uncorrect compressor electrical connection, an alarm is activated and the compressor can not start. In this case it is necessary to invert the electrical connections of the phases supplying the corresponding digital scroll compressor.
15) Ensure that the fans rotate in the correct direction (see arrow on fan).
CAUTION: risk of contact with rotating devices.
16) Ensure that all control system settings are correct and that there are no alarms (see Control manual).
17) W only: Verify the water flow.
18) W only: For closed circuit units ensure that the water pump starts when the compressor starts.
8.2 - Starting and stopping
• ALWAYS ENSURE THAT EACH CRANKCASE HAS BEEN PREHEATED.
FOR BRIEF STOPPAGES KEEP THE SUPPLY TO THE CRANKCASE HEATER.
Turn on the air conditioner by the relevant Hiromatic control. The fan starts immediately (the fan always works when the unit is ON); after approx. 30 seconds the regulation is activated, so the cooling (compressor), heating (electric heaters), humidifying and dehumidifying devices can start.
Adjust the set-point as indicated in air conditioner Control manual.
Stop the air conditioner by the relative local OFF of Hiromatic.
8.3 — Checking the refrigeration piping pressure drops
The air conditioner is equipped with connections to check the refrigeration piping pressure drops:
room unit → condenser → room unit
To carry out this operation it is necessary to use 2 calibrated manometers and connect them as follows:
M1, connected to the compressor delivery valve; M2, connected to the Schrader valve (2) of Fig. j.
When the compressoris ruuning, check M1 and M2.
N.B.: Repeat this test, inverting the manometers: to calculate the correct p consider the average value of the two readings.
Refrigeration pipeline Pressure drops ( p bar), at 45°C (approx. R407C = R22):
• At the same geodetic level: p (bar) = M1-M2
- When condenser is above the room unit: p (bar) = M1-M2+geodetic difference (m x 1,1:10,2)
- When condenser is below the room unit: p (bar) = M1-M2-geodetic difference (m x 1,1:10,2)

9 – XDFN complete system start-up
9.1 - Rack 42 U's space management
Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining not used front U-spaces in the rack.
Empty units (U) of space inside the rack could drive to a hot air "short circuit" back to the inlet of the equipment, increasing unnecessarily the air inlet temperature to the servers.
To avoid this bypass, the enclosed blanking panels (supplied loose inside the rack module, no.12 x size 1—U and no.5 x size 6—U) must be installed in the front of the rack where there are unused vertical spaces. So, either a customer device or a blanking panel must fill every space of the rack.
And in general, cabling arrangements in the rack should be tidy and well organized in such a way to avoid restriction of the airflow section.
9.2 - First start-up
Part one
Following operations must be done switching off the electrical power.
1) Connect all the air conditioners (if more than one) together with the Hirobus cable, cables for emergency ventilation and for dampers between contiguous air conditioners.
2) Follow the instructions in the air conditioner control manual
3) Verify the correct electrical connections between the air conditioners and between air conditioners and racks; see electrical connections inside the manual and specific wiring diagram included inside the unit.
4) Remember that the auxiliary circuits of the air conditioner and the auxiliary circuits of the rack should be connected to an internal (optional) or external UPS. For air conditioning unit XDFN it is necessary to re-
move the bridges N1–N8 and R1–R8, and connect the terminals R8–N8–PE (230Vac 50Hz) to the UPS.
Part two
Power supply the auxiliary circuits of air conditioners switching on the relative magnetic circuit breaker (MCB)
5) In the air conditioners Hirobus network, make sure to have set via Hiromatic:
a) number of cooling modules member of the Hirobus network;
b) if there is a redundant conditioner, define one of them in stand—by status. The system microprocessor control automatically gives an I.D. number to each air conditioner, the number one as master;
c) define the rotation time for the stand—by conditioner.
6) Switch on all the MCB's on the electrical panel of air conditioners
7) Switch on all the necessary MCB's on the electrical panel of rack modules and make sure that:
a) front and rear doors of racks are closed.
b) there is no air by—pass from back to front of devices installed inside racks. In order to avoid bypass in case of empty space, the supplied blank panels must be used.
8) Air conditioners will work properly and efficiently only inside the operative conditions indicated on product documentation.
9.3 - Starting and stopping
1) Use the local on/off button on the relative Hiromatic to switch on/off the relative air conditioner.
2) In case of air conditioners system (two or more air conditioners connected via Hirobus), during normal operation the Hiromatic display shows the status of each conditioner. Pushing local on/off in this case we can switch off each air conditioners, selecting its specific identify number inside.
3) Backup ventilation will start under at least one of the following conditions:
a) all the air conditioner/s adjacent to the rack is/are in local off, alarm status or no power status.
b) too high inlet/outlet air temperature detected by the sensors mounted inside the rack connected to Microface.
c) black out, or lack of electrical power supply, if present UPS: in this case all the auxiliary circuits (racks and air conditioners) should be connected to an UPS (uninterruptible power supply). Internal UPS is supplied as a rack option.
9.4 — Suggested main checkup
Use the following check list to have a first general check up of the system.
Adhere to all safety information and instruction given in the service manual and all local regulations.
Once the system is operating under load, check the various components, as follows:
1) Verify that one air conditioner (if more than one) is in stand—by and all others are working properly without any warnings or alarms activated.
2) Verify that fans are running properly (Microface controller automatically drives fan speed).
3) Ensure that the temperature and relative humidity are being controlled and the humidifier (optional) operates when required. The Microface controller for this application is designed to control the conditioner air delivery temperature (i.e. the inlet air temperature to the rack) and to control the air relative humidity measuring this value at the inlet side of air conditioners.
4) Ensure that digital scroll compressors are operating properly: Microface controller automatically drives compressor and cooling capacity modulation.
5)
a) A version only: ensure that the condensing controller, equipped inside air conditioner and driven by Microface, is calibrated and properly controls the external condenser fan operations.
b) C version only: ensure that chilled water 3-way valve is working properly. Microface automatically drives CW valve and capacity modulation.
c) W version only: ensure that the modulating control valve, equipped inside air conditioner and driven by Microface to control the condensing pressure, is calibrated and properly controls the condensing water flow through the brazed and plate condenser.
6) Check the correct position of air dampers equipped into the base module of air conditioners.
7) Ensure that backup ventilation and backup air damper work properly.
8) With all system working properly in local hirobus network, ensure that:
a) switching off one air conditioner (once a time) then the redundant one (in stand—by if present) will start to work properly and all the components (air dampers, fans, compressors, etc..) will continue to run well.
b) Coming back and switching on the air conditioner (before stopped as described in point 8a) the system will restart to work properly and with one air conditioners in stand—by.
c) Switching off the air conditioner(s) adjacent to one rack then automatically the relative backup ventilation will start to work. Coming back and switching on the adjacent(s) air conditioners then backup ventilation will be stopped and air conditioners will return to work properly.
d) With an internal UPS installed (optional for rack module) or with an external dedicated UPS, switching off the main electrical power supply, then automatically the backup ventilation starts up. And, on the contrary, switching on the main power supply automatically the backup fan turn off and the air conditioners will start to work properly.
10 - Cooling module operation
Unit operation is completely automatic. The below sequence explains how the unit operates :
- The air, sucked in by the fan(s), enters into the AC module.
•The air is immediately filtered into the AC module.
- The HUMITEMP (temperature + rel. humidity) sensor, verifies the state of the inlet air, and relays this information to the control system.
- Another temperature sensor verifies the state of the outlet air (air conditioner delivery) and relays this information to the control system.
•The treated air passes through the fans, which operate continuously, and is then dispersed out of the unit.
- The control system compares the relayed information to the set point and proportional band values programmed into its memory: it then commands the air conditioner to treat the air as follows (see also air conditioner Control manual):
•COOLING
Direct expansion mode (DX)
The compressor is started and the cold refrigerant flows
through the evaporator, thus cooling the air passing over it. For fan and compressor operation see Control manual.
Chilled water mode (CW)
The chilled water flows through the chilled valve coil, thus cooling the air passing over it. The chilled water flow is controlled by a 0–10 Vdc proportional valve, which regulates the flow rate in order to obtain the exact amount of cooling required.
•HEATING
Electrical heating: if necessary the heating elements heat the air passing over them (see also Control manual).
- DEHUMIDIFICATION - optional
DX mode
The compressor moves 100% cooling capacity, thereby causing dehumidification (refer also to Control manual).
CW mode
The chilled water valve moves on full open position, thereby causing dehumidification when temperature drops below the dew point of the air.
N.B.: If, during dehumidification, the AC outlet air temperature drops below a specified level, dehumidification will be stopped if necessary (see LOW LIMIT intervention in Control manual).
If necessary, heating is used during dehumidification mode.
•HUMIDIFICATION – optional
The humidifier creates steam, which is distributed into the air stream via the steam distribution pipe (see also Enclosure A).
N.B.: Manual control can be performed using the control system (see air conditioner Control manual).
11 – Cooling module calibrations & regulation (at start—up)
•The air conditioner has already been factory tested.
- For calibrations of instruments installed on the external condensers/Dry coolers refer to the relevant manual.
- For control system calibrations refer to air conditioner Control manual (to prevent erratic operations do not use temperature and rel. humidity set points/proportional bands which differ excessively from the Standard Settings).
11.1 - Setting the Electric Expansion Valve
THIS OPERATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN EXPERIENCED REFRIGERATION TECHNICIAN.
The Electric Expansion Valve [Siemens MVL 661.15–0.4] is driven by its own linear magnetic actuator, 24Vac power supplied, trough a 0–10 Vdc signal coming from the controller [Siemens RWR62.732] located in the front panel (see Enclosure G, Fig. 1)
The valve is PN40, closed when not energized, high resolution with precise positioning control and position feedback signal, suitable for use with organic safety refrigerants
(R407C, R22, R134a, R410A, etc.). See the relative handbook, enclosed in the unit, for any required deeper information.
11.1.1 - Valve setting
Always disconnect the unit from the power supply.
In the electronic housing of the valve, four dipswitches has been preset at the factory:
dip switch 1 Off (it means input for positioning control as a voltage 0/2...10 Vdc signal)
dip switch 2 Off (it means no offset, modulation starting from zero)
dip switch 3 Off (it means position feedback as a voltage signal)
dip switch 4 On (it means max capacity setted at 63% of max admissible capacity of valve)
11.1.2 - Controller setting
The Electric Expansion Valve control has been factory preset with following relevant parameters:
refrigerant R407C
unit measurements bar/°C
superheating setpoint 7 K
MOP set point 15°C
superheating proportional band 9 K
other parameters at default value
See the relative controller handbook, enclosed in the unit, for any required deeper information
11.1.3 - Running modes
The dedicated controller automatically manages the valve openings in order to get a suitable superheating. The temperature and pressure values are continuously read by the relevant sensors.
It is also possible to drive the valve in manual mode for refrigerant charge operation (see para. 5.2)
11.1.4 - New settings
In order to manage unbalanced and cycling situations, the valve can be differently regulated as follows.
1) Strictly adhere to the suggestions available at the relevant handbooks of valve and controller.
2) Be sure about fulfilled guidelines, chapter no. 5.
3) Allow the compressor operate for 10 minutes in manual mode (100% cooling capacity) and the condensing control in manual mode having a suitable stable condensing temperature
4) Check on the display of EEV controller the actual value of superheating against the setted superheating and evaporating temperature value. If these parameters are not stable, it is possible to adjust at least two main values: the superheating proportional band and the superheating set point.
5) Restart the unit and its condensing control, in automatic mode, by Hiromatic
11.2 – Environment protection
A misuse or an incorrect calibration of the unit leads to increased energy consumption, resulting in an economic and environmental damage. Use the freecooling function, if available.
12 – Maintenance/Spare Parts
12.1 - Safety instructions
All maintenance operations must be carried out strictly observing the European and National accident prevention regulations. We refer especially to the accident prevention regulations concerning electrical systems, refrigerators, and manufacturing resources.
Maintenance may be done to air conditioning equipment only by authorized and qualified technicians.
To keep all warranties valid the maintenance must adhere to the manufacturer's regulations.

The work should be done in the system only when it is at standstill. Do this by switching off the air conditioner at the controller and the main switch. Post a warning sign saying: "DO NOT SWITCH ON."
Electrical components of device have to be switched off and be checked that they are not under voltage.
Ignoring the safety instructions can be dangerous to persons as well as to the environment.
Soiled parts always cause a loss of performance and for switch or control devices can lead to the break—down of a plant.
12.2 - Kit Hiromatic evolution L1 for Rack module (see Fig. 2 - Enclosures G)
This accessory allows to check up main parameters managed by electronic control of Rack module.
It is a loose supplied device, available on request, useful above all for service applications and to check up the rack status during start up operations.
12.3 - Spare parts

These oils rapidly absorb the humidity present in the air when they are exposed to the atmosphere.
If the oil absorbs humidity, the ester molecules can break down, forming acidity.

App. A – HUMIDAIR humidifier
A.1 - Preface
The HUMIDAIR represents the best humidifier technology available, guaranteeing the steam as clean as possible to-
gether with simple maintenance.
In order to obtain optimum performance from the HUMID-AIR it is advisable to read this manual carefully.
Tab. a - Humidair specifications
| XDFN MODEL | HUMIDAIR MODEL | MAIN POWER SUPPLIES (V ± 10%) | SETTING [kg/h] * [A] | ABSORBED CURRENT [kW] [l] [l/min.] [l/min.] | POWER | MAX. CYL-INDER WATER VOLUME | MAX. SUPPLY WATER QUANTITY | MAX. DRAIN WATER QUANTITY |
| X13...25 | KUECLA | 230V / 1ph / 50Hz | 0.6...2.0 | 6.5 | 1.5 | 1.70 | 0.6 | 4.0 |
For humidifier current (FLA) and rated power, refer to electrical features in the air conditioner manual.
(*) Unit is factory—set to produce about the minimum value (see Microface manual).
A.2 - Installation
The humidifier is supplied already mounted within the air conditioner. The only necessary operations are the connections for the supply water (Fig. a) and drain water (Fig. b).
Fig. a - Supply water connection

Fig. b - Drain water connection

NOTES:
1) Allow a 2% gradient towards the drain outlet.
2) Avoid back pressures in the drain piping.
A.3 - Humidair components
The components of the HUMIDAIR humidifiers are shown below.

A.4 - Start-up and operation
A.4.1 - Start-up
Before using the humidifier, check the following:
•Supply and drain connections.
- That the cut-off tap is open.
- All wiring.
•Earthing.
- Steam hose connection between steam cylinder and distributor.
To start the humidifier simply switch on the air conditioner, which will in turn automatically start and stop the humidifier as required. The (adjustable) parameters which determine humidifier operation have already been factory—preset (see HIROMATIC manual).
A.4.2 - Operation
Water, provided it contains even a small quantity of salts in solution, is a conductor of electricity. Therefore, if the steam cylinder is filled with water and a potential difference is applied between the electrodes, the water behaves like an ordinary electrical resistance and becomes hot, thus creating steam.
The steam production rate can be controlled by varying the water level in the cylinder; the higher the water level, the deeper the electrodes are immersed into it and the greater the steam production.
Note
When starting with an empty cylinder, the water conductivity is normally insufficient for the HUMIDIFIER STEAM OUTPUT to be reached immediately.
Therefore the humidifier produces as much steam as possible to fill the cylinder completely. Any evaporation water is immediately refilled.
The drain valve is kept shut and therefore, as the steam does not contain any salts, the conductivity of the water within the cylinder slowly increases until the HUMIDIFIER STEAM OUTPUT is obtained.
The length of the start-up period depends upon the water conductivity. For very conductive water it may occur that the HUMIDIFIER STEAM OUTPUT is obtained immediately.
A.5 - Maintenance
A.5.1 - Removing the steam cylinder
To remove the steam cylinder, proceed as follows (see Fig. c):
1) Open the General Switch relative to the humidifier.
2) Drain all the water from the cylinder by activating "HUM. DRAIN" in the CONTROL Service menu several times (see Control manual).
3) Disconnect the steam hose (S) (made of non-conductive rubber).
4) Disconnect the power electrode wires (P) and level sensor wire (L).
5) Undo the clip (R).
6) Pull the cylinder (C) out of its gland at the bottom (G).
A.5.2 - Replacing the steam cylinder
When the steam cylinder is approaching the stage where it needs to be replaced, warning A25 is generated (see Control manual) to advise the user that the cylinder must be replaced. To replace the cylinder, proceed as follows (see Fig. c):
1) Carry out the instructions in para. A.5.1.
2) Using the new cylinder, carry out 4)—6) of para. 5.1 in reverse order.
3) Connect the steam hose (S); the clip on the hose needs to be tightened only slightly.
4) Manually switch the humidifier on for 2–3 minutes (in the HIROMATIC Service menu). Then switch it off.
5) Drain the water as for 2) in para. A.5.1.
6) If the air conditioner features a HIROMATIC with Graphic display, reset the humidifier working hours (window no. 1 of PARAMETER MENU) to zero.
7) Close the General Switch relative to the humidifier.
A.5.3 – Annual maintenance
Annually (e.g. before any close—down period) carry out the following service on the humidifier (see Fig. c):
1) Carry out the instructions in para. A.5.1.
2) Disconnect the supply (F) and drain (D) valve wires.
3) Unscrew and remove the drain tank (T).
4) Unscrew the drain valve assembly screws (V).
5) Remove the drain valve assembly.
6) Unscrew and remove the drain valve solenoid (O).
7) Unscrew and remove the drain valve armature (D).
8) Clean all parts of the drain valve using a commercially available descaling agent (to remove any incrustations).
9) Detach the hose from the supply valve.
10) Remove the supply valve connection (N).
11) Unscrew the supply valve (F) and remove it.
12) Clean the supply valve using a jet of water.
13) Replace any hose which has become hard and brittle.
14) Thoroughly flush the drain line (E).
15) Reassemble the humidifier by carrying out the above instructions in reverse order.
ATTENTION
Always empty the cylinder completely before any close-down period.
