EVENT OF ALARM
In case of Alarm event:
Expansion I/O board fault
Acoustic signalling is activated (buzzer);
Red led under the alarm button s activated;
Green leds on main screen are activated
AREA 2 on main screen is showing the alarm icon;
AREA 3 on main screen visualized an icon who represent the kind of active alarm .
With a single press on the alarm button the acoustic signalling is de-activated.

RESET OF ALARM STATUS

To make the ALARM RESET, we split the alarms in 3 different kind:
Alarms with only Automatic Reset: in this category we found only the alarm LAN DISCONNECTED.
Alarms with Automatic/Manual Reset (based on the customer's settings on screen I3); in this category we found:
- Ambient Temperature Limits overcoming
- Ambient Humidity Limits overcoming
- Chilled Water too high
- Water Flow missing
- Low Pressure alarm
- Humidifier alarm
- Air filter alarm
By default alla bove are setted with AUTOMATIC RESET.
Alarms with only Manual Reset:
After removing the alarm cause, it's required to push alarm button for few seconds to remove completely the alarm signalling and will
desappear any Alarm icon from AREA 2 and AREA 3.
With Wrong Password Alarm, the RESET is only manual after the right input of the correct password.

ALARM LIMITS
With User Password (screens I): it's possibile to modify the alarms limits setted like, Ambient Temperature Limits overcoming, Ambient
Humidity Limits overcoming, Chilled water too high( 2 limits: 1 for standard functiuoning, 2 for dehumidification functioning) anyway based
on unit configuration.

ALARMS OUTPUTS
With User Password (screens I): it is possible to configure the alarms output available on the main board. Based on unit configuration we
can have 1 Alarm output (marked A) or 2 Alarm outputs (marked A & B).
We can also set:

combinantion with ECONOMY function.

REGULATION HAVING AS TARGET A CONSTANT AIR

FLOW
The aim is to maintain a constant air flow on the unit and conse-
quently to keep constant and permanent also the unit's perfor-
mances; this permits to guarantee to customer a right function of
the unit.
During the unit lifecycle, the air flow is often influenced by the
change of the pressure drops
due to:
clogged air filters
variation of ducts extension

When the unit is ordered with the CONSTANT AIR FLOW

option, it will be provided of a digital pressure trasducer that
measures the different pressure value P on the fan nozzle as per
the following picture:

Starting from the nominal value (A) the pressure drop increasing
(maybe due to clogged filters) from P1 to P2 causes a working
point movement along the curve versus point B and consequently
the air flow decreases. Then the controller will raise automatical-
ly the fans rpm in order to maintain the same air flow that moves
to a new working point C.

The measured P is compared with the value previusly setted in

factory.
In case there is a difference between the value measured and the
value presetted this means that such P difference needs a fans
speed variation in order to keep the same air flow value and the
same unit performances.

Such fan speed adjustment of the rpm is automatically managed

from the controller that changes the power input signal to the
fans in order to keep the same air flow.

 "LAN" - LOCAL NETWORK U I A
MAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE LAN

The connection of the units (that is, the PCO boards fitted on
each unit) in the pLAN network allows the following functions to
be performed:
balance the operating hours between the air-conditioners by
rotation of the standby unit.
start the standby unit if the other unit shuts down due to a
serious alarm or blackout
start the standby unit to provide for excessive thermal load.
control up to 10 air-conditioners from just one user terminal
(shared user terminal)
operation of all the air-conditioners based on the average of the
temperature and humidity values read by the probes on the air-
conditioners that are operating at that moment

1. The local network connection is used to manage the opera-

tion of a series of air-conditioners operating inside the same
environment,
2. The number of units that can be connected is 10 MAX.
3. The maximum extension of the network connections is 500
metres.
4. All the units connected in the network must have the same
version of the program installed in the flash memory on
the board.
5. A terminal can be configured as "private" or "shared":
- a private terminal can display the operating status only of
the unit it is connected to via telephone cable
- a shared terminal can display the operating status of all
the units connected in the network.
6. Each board can talk to a maximum of 3 terminals; in common
applications, generally no more than two are used: one fitted on
the unit and another optional remote terminal.

The priority on the terminal is always the display of the alarms,

even if when the alarm is activated the terminal is displaying the
parameters from another unit.

7. To be able to communicate over a local network, the units

must be configured so as to be able to send the other units
the required information for correct operation.
In this regard, the first step involves assigning a progressive
number to the different units (1, 2, 3,10) and then correctly
setting the addresses of the various terminals and LAN
boards, and making the electrical connections, step-by-step, as
described in the following paragraphs.

 PRACTICAL PROCEDURE FOR SETTING UP A LAN OF UNITS U I A
The following operations must be carried out in sequence on-site:

1) Connect the units together by shielded cable

2) Set the addresses of the units (from 0 to 10) and the user terminals (from 11 to 20)

3) Configure the software for the recognition and management of the units

These serial interface boards must be fitted onto the pCO1
motherboard, in the special slot shown here.

Mounting
To install the card in the pCO unit respect the following instruc-
tions (Fig.1...4):
1. remove the "serial card" placement cover with a screwdriver
(Fig. 1);
2. removing the pre-punctured plastic you get the hole which cor-
responds to the tree-pole terminal out (Fig. 2);
3. insert the optional card into the corresponding connector, tak-
ing care that the card is firmly placed on both plastic supports on
the pCO case (Fig. 3);
4. close the cover using the screwdriver making the outside card
terminal fits with the punched hole made on the cover (Fig. 4).
fig. 1
The connection with the RS485 network is carried out by means
of the plug-in terminal connector on the card. Pin-wiring of the
connector is stamped on the card (see table 1). If the card is
placed in the last position of the supervision serial line, pins 2 and
3, you must connect a 120 -- 1/4 W end line resistor, as shown in
Fig. 6.

Obviusly it cannot be placed more that 1 serial card at same time

inside the PCO1 mother board. Consequently unit can communi-
cate just whit 1 BMS system at same time

Warning. When handling the card, please follow the

advice below fig. 2
Electrical damage may occur to the electronic components as a
result of electrostatic discharges from the operator. Suitable pre-
cautions must be therefore be taken when handling these compo-
nents:
before using any electronic component or card, ground yourself
(not touching the card does not prevent a spike, as static
electricity can produce a 10000V spike discharge which can
form an arc of about 1cm); fig. 3 fig. 4
all components must be kept inside their original package as
long as possible. If necessary, take the board from its package
and place it into an antistatic package without touching the back
of the board with your hands;
absolutely avoid non-antistatic plastic bags, polystyrene or pin significato
spongee;
do not pass the card directly to other operators (to prevent 1 G ND
