offices/affiliates do not guarantee, in any case, that all the aspects of the product and the
software included in the product will respond to the demands of the final application, even
if the product is built according to state-of-the-art techniques. The client (builder, develo-
per or installer of the final equipment) assumes every responsibility and risk relating to the
configuration of the product in order to reach the expected results in relation to the specific
final installation and/or equipment. CAREL in this case, through specific agreements, can
intervene as consultant for the positive result of the final start-up machine/application, but in
no case can it be held responsible for the positive working of the final equipment/apparatus.
The CAREL product is a state-of-the-art product, whose operation is specified in the
technical documentation supplied with the product or can be downloaded, even prior to
purchase, from the website www.carel.com.
Each CAREL product, in relation to its advanced technological level, needs a phase of

1.2.1 Display
The display features 3 digits, with the display of the decimal point between -99.9 and 99.9.
Outside of this range of measurement, the value is automatically displayed without the decimal
(even if internally the unit still operates considering the decimal part). H
In normal operation, the value displayed corresponds to the temperature read by probe B1, that
G
is, the evaporator water inlet temperature (for water chillers) or the ambient air temperature for
F
direct expansion units.

4. PARAMETERS
ENGLISH
4.1 General parameters
The parameters are divided into 4 different types, according to their level of access by the user
(password) and their function.
For each level, only the access to the parameters of the same or lower level can be set.
This means that through “factory” password, acessing the menù “levels” (L-P), it is possible to set
the desired level for each parameter.
• Factory parameters: Accessible with the 66 “Factory” password, allow the configuration of all
the unit parameters.
• Super User parameters: Accessible with the 11 “Super User” password, allow the
configuration of the Super User, User and Direct parameters.
• User parameters: Accessible with password 22, allow the configuration of the parameters
that typically can be set by the user (User parameters) and the Direct parameters, consequently
relating to the options.
• Direct parameters: Accessible without password, this are used to read the probe
measurements and any data, by any user, without compromising the operation of the unit.
N.B.: The modifications to the parameters regarding the configuration of the unit (type, number level level name password
of compressors,...) must be performed with the controller in Standby. _d_ direct no password
_U_ user 22
_S_ super user 11
_F_ factory 66

- Min/max voltage and pressure values
From /09 to /12: sets the minimum/maximum voltage and pressure for the ratiometric signal.
- Probe calibration
From /13 to /20: calibrates the corresponding sensor (from B1 to B8).
- Digital filter
/21: Establishes the coefficient used in the digital filtering of the value measured. High values
for this parameter will eliminate any continuous disturbance at the analogue inputs (however
decrease the promptness of measurement). The recommended value is 4 (default).
- Input limit
/22: Establishes the maximum variation that can be measured by the probes in one unit
program cycle; in practice, the maximum variations allowed in the measurement are between 0.
1 and 1.5 units (bars, °C or °F, depending on the probe and the unit of measure) approximately
every one second. Low values for this parameter will limit the effect of impulsive disturbance.
Recommended value 8 (default).
- Unit of measure
/23: Selects the unit of measure as degrees centigrade or Fahrenheit. When the parameter is
modified, the μC2SE automatically converts the values read by the NTC temperature probes B1,
B2, B3 into the new unit of measure; while all the other parameters set (set point, differential etc. )
remain unchanged.
• Antifreeze, auxiliary heater: parameters (A*)
- Antifreeze alarm set point/outlet limit (low ambient temp. for air/air units)
A01: when probe B2 is installed on the coil represents the temperature (antifreeze set point) of
the water at the evaporator outlet below which an antifreeze alarm is activated; in this condition
the compressors corresponding to the circuit in question are stopped, while the pump remains
on to decrease the possibility of freezing. The alarm is reset manually (or automatically, depending
on parameter P05) only when the water temperature returns within the operating limits (that is,
above A01+A02).
In the Air/Air units (H1=0,1) the value represents the low room temperature warning threshold; Example of antifreeze/outlet limit management
this alarm, activated according to value read by probe B1 or B2 (depending on parameter A06) is
signal only, and is reset depending on the value of P05. 1
If probe B2 is placed in the outlet air flow (air/air units), A01 becomes the outlet limit, and if the
ON
outlet probe reading (B2) < outlet limit (A1) then:

- Antifreeze/low room temperature (air/air) alarm differential
A02: This represents the differential for the activation of the antifreeze alarm (low room
temperature in air/air units); the alarm condition cannot be reset until the temperature exceeds
ENGLISH
the set point + differential (A01+A02 or A14+A02).
- Antifreeze alarm bypass time low room temperature from unit start in heating mode
A03: This represents the delay in the activation of the antifreeze alarm when starting the system.
In the case of air/air units, this parameter represents the delay time for the low room temperature
(return-intake air) signal, only in heating mode. This means that the room being heated is too cold
(threshold set by the user).
- Antifreeze heater/auxiliary heater set point in cooling
A04: Determines the threshold below which the antifreeze heater is switched on. In the air/air
units (H01=0, 1) this parameter represents the temperature value below which the auxiliary heater
is activated. This temperature is compensated according to the following equation:
Set_heaters (cooling)= A04+(Compensated set point – Set point set)
In the air/air heat pumps (H01=1) the auxiliary heaters are not used in cooling mode.
N.B. The antifreeze set points are not compensated.
- Antifreeze heater/auxiliary heater differential

A05: Differential for the activation and deactivation of the antifreeze heaters (auxiliary heaters in
air/air units).

- Auxiliary heater probe in heating/antifreeze in cooling

A06: This determines which probe is used for control the antifreeze /auxiliary heater. The meaning
of the parameter is the following:
A06 = 0 => Control probe see Table 5.a.a
A06 = 1 => Antifreeze probe see Table 5.a.a
If H1=1 the heaters are disabled in cooling mode. See Functions of the probes.
Not valid if A10= 2
- Antifreeze alarm set point limit
A07: Establishes the minimum limit for setting the antifreeze alarm set point (A01).
- Antifreeze heater in defrost/auxiliary heater in heating set point
A08: Represents the threshold below which the auxiliary heater is ON in defrost and in heating
mode.
The set point in heating is compensated according to the following equation:
Set_heaters (heating) = A08+(Compensated set point – Set point set)
The antifreeze set point is not compensated.
In the heat pumps (H01=1-3-6), during heating mode, it represents the set point for the auxiliary
heater; during the defrost cycle, it represents the set point for the activation of the antifreeze
heaters. In the air/air units (H01=0) it only represents the set point for the heating heaters.
In heat pump mode (H1=5-10) this represents the set point for the antifreeze heater and the
antifreeze probe becomes B3/B7
- Antifreeze heater/auxiliary heater differential in heating

A09: Represents the differential for the activation/deactivation of the antifreeze heater in defrost/
auxiliary heater in heating. The differential is the same for both heaters.
- Automatic start for antifreeze

A10: This parameter is valid when the unit is in standby.
The operating mode switchover delay times are ignored.
A10=0: function not enabled
A10=1: Auxiliary heater and pump are ON at the same time, based to the respective set: points,
A04 or A08, according to the settings of the antifreeze or auxiliary heaters; the exception is when
H01=1 in cooling, in which case not even the pump will be activated. Each circuit, in the case of
two evaporators, will be controlled based on its own probe (B2, B6).
A10=2: pump and auxiliary heater ON independently based on the respective set point, A04 or
A08. If the temperature falls below the antifreeze alarm set point A01, the unit is started in heating
mode, controlling the steps (compressors) based on the set point A01 and differential A02, in
proportional mode. Each circuit, when there are 2 evaporators, will be controlled using its own
probe (B2, B6). A10=2: pump and support heaters activated together, based on the set point A04.
If there is an alarm in both circuits, control will be performed on the based on the lower of the
two. This mode ends automatically when the antifreeze set point A01 + the differential A02 is
reached (returning to the previous mode); in any case, the function can be terminated manually
by modifying the parameters or disconnecting the power supply to the device.

In this case, the display will be as follows:
• operating mode LED OFF;
• cooling heating flag not switched (not detected by the supervisor);
ENGLISH
• antifreeze alarm A01 (remains active even at the end of the special operation if the unit was
previously ON, deactivated by manual reset or in standby).
A10=3: heaters ON based on the respective set point A04 and A08.
Do not use with H1= 6
- Antifreeze heater 2 set point in defrost/auxiliary in heating
A11: Heater 2 set point in heating, the control of the auxiliary heaters has been separated, each
having its own activation set point (see A08).
- Dirty filter signal set point (air/air units only)
A12: Set point for the dirty filter signal based on B1-B2, the deactivation differential is A05
• Valid in the following conditions:
• air-air units;
• B1 is configured;
• outlet limit active;
• freecooling not active;
• at least 1 compressor ON.
The warning is reset automatically in the following conditions:
• air-air units;
• B1 is configured;
• outlet limit active;
• freecooling not active.
- Outlet limit set point in freecooling conditions
A13: With freecooling active, and only when the compressors are off, this represents the outlet
limit. When the compressors are on, even if freecooling is active, the outlet limit alarm is bypassed
and the antifreeze alarm is used.
- Antifreeze alarm set point from EVD
A14: With the EVD connected in the tLAN, A14 represents the evaporation temperature (sent by
the EVD) below which the antifreeze alarm is activated; when the alarm is active, the compressors
in the circuit affected are switched off, while the pump remains on to reduce the possibility of
freezing. Manual reset (or automatic, depending on parameter P05), only occurs when the water
temperature returns within the operating limits (that it, exceeds A14+A02

- Delay on power-up (reset power supply)

c06: At power ON (when the controller is physically switched ON) the activation of all the outputs
is delayed so as to distribute the power input and protect the compressor against repeated starts
in the event of frequent power failures. This means that after the delay time, the controller will
start to manage the outputs based on the other times and the other normal functions.

- Maximum tandem compressor operating time

c09: In the case of two compressors in tandem per circuit, one compressor should not operate
for longer than the time set for c09 while the other compressor in the circuit is OFF. This prevents
the oil shared in common from migrating over the allowed limit towards the active compressor,
and consequently avoids damage when inactive compressor next starts (FIFO logic) due to poor
lubrication. As a result, compressor 1 (or 2) in circuit 1, if requested to operate continuously, will
actually stop OFF after the time c09 and hand over to compressor 2 (or 1) that was previously OFF.
This function always considers the compressor times. Any value lower than the time set for c03
will be ignored, and the compressors (if the above condition is satisfied) will switch over after the
time c03.
When C9=0, the function is disabled (the compressors will not switch over).

c15: This indicates the number of operating hours for the evaporator
pump or fan 1, expressed in hundreds of hours.
- Condenser or backup pump/fan 2 hour counter

c16: This indicates the number of operating hours for the condenser pump (or backup) or fan 2,
expressed in hundreds of hours.
- Minimum OFF time before the next pump/fan start

c17: The diagram below shows an example of the operation of the pump and with burst (active
when H05=3, see parameter H05).
The dashed areas on the compressor line indicate the pump-compressor and compressor-pump
delay times.
Burst mode is disabled in standby and during an alarm when the pump is OFF.
At power ON the delay c17 must elapse before burst can start.

- Enable condenser defrost/antifreeze

d01: For heat pumps with air-cooled condensers (H01=1, 3, 8), this establishes whether defrost
control must be performed on the outdoor exchanger (evaporator in heating mode).
On the other hand, for water/water heat pumps with reversal on the gas circuit (H01=5-10), it
enables antifreeze control on the cooling water for the outdoor exchanger, which becomes the
evaporator in heating mode, see d03. If the fan is not present, the function is not enabled for air/
water units.
d01=0: condenser defrost/antifreeze disabled;
d01=1: condenser defrost/antifreeze enabled.
In the defrost is running, the corresponding symbol will be shown on the display.
38 μC2SE - +030220426 - rel. 2.5 - 27.11.2012

- Type of defrost
d02: establishes the type of defrost.
d02=0: the defrost has a fixed duration that depends on d07
ENGLISH
d02=1: the defrost starts and ends according to the temperature or pressure thresholds, see d03
and d04;
d02=2: the pressure transducer and temperature probe are both located on the outside
exchanger; the defrost starts when the value read by the pressure transducer is below the
threshold d03 and ends when the value read by the temperature probe is above the threshold
d04; during the defrost, the pressure probe controls the fan speed, as in chiller mode, so as to limit
the pressure, even if the NTC probe, caked by ice, delays the end defrost. In any case, after the
maximum time allowed for the defrost, the unit will always exit the defrost procedure.
d02=3: enable sliding defrost.
In the event of low outside temperatures, the evaporator pressure or temperature may fall below
the threshold set to start the defrost (d03) even if there is effectively no ice on the coil. This can
be corrected by shifting the start of the defrost proportionally to the lowering of the outside
temperature. This procedure can be performed based on the temperature or the pressure alone,
and not combined. It is disabled if the outside compensation probe is not fitted or is broken. It
is performed based on the pressure only if both the pressure probe and temperature probe are
configured.
- Start defrost temperature/pressure or condenser antifreeze alarm set point

d03: For heat pumps with air-cooled condensers (H01=1, 3, 8, 10, 12), this sets the temperature
or pressure below which the defrost cycle starts. To start the defrost cycle, the condition must be
valid for the time d05. For water/water heat pumps with reversal on the gas circuit (H01=5, 10), it
defines the set point for the activation of the antifreeze alarm for the outdoor exchanger cooling
water (evaporator in heating mode, on probe B3).
If sliding is defrost enabled, the start defrost temperature decreases (starting from d03)
proportionally to the outside temperature.
- End defrost temperature/pressure

d04: Establishes the temperature or pressure above which the defrost cycle ends.
Defrost by temperature (d2= 1) - Minimum start defrost time

- Minimum defrost duration

d06: Represents the minimum duration of the defrost cycle (the defrost continues even if the
value read by the condenser probe exceeds the end temperature/pressure). If set to 0, the
minimum defrost time function is disabled.
d06=0: control disabled.
- Maximum defrost duration

d07: If timed defrost is set (d02=0), this establishes the duration of the cycle.
If, on the other hand, the defrost ends at a set temperature/pressure, it represents the maximum
duration (being in this case a safety feature, an alarm is signalled, “dF1” or “dF2”).
- Delay between two defrost requests in the same circuit

d08: Represents the minimum delay between two successive defrost cycles.
- Defrost delay between the 2 circuits

d09: Represents the minimum delay between the defrost cycles on the 2 circuits.
- Defrost management from external contact

d10: This enables or disables defrost control from an external contact.
This function is typically used to end the defrost based on a signal from a thermostat/pressure
switch connected to the corresponding digital input. In this case, the defrost times are ignored.
d10 = 0: function disabled.
Note: for the other settings, the start and end defrost are enabled for temperature and pressure
values between the Defrost start and end set points
d10= 1: start defrost from external contact enabled therefore:
• if the contact of the input is open, the start of the defrost is enabled;
• if the contact of the input closed, the defrost follows the normal procedure.

• if the contact of the input is closed, the defrost follows the normal procedure.
ENGLISH
d10= 3: start and end defrost from external contact enabled therefore:
• if the contact of the input is open, the end/start of the defrost is enabled;
• if the contact of the input is closed, the defrost follows the normal procedure.
- Antifreeze/auxiliary heaters in defrost

d11: This parameter determines whether, during the defrost cycle, the antifreeze/auxiliary heaters
should be activated to limit the flow of cold water/air into the room.
d11 = 0: antifreeze/auxiliary heater not activated in defrost;
d11 = 1: antifreeze/auxiliary heater activated in defrost.
- Waiting time before defrost/delay in switching from heating to cooling

d12: As soon as the defrost condition arises, but before the actual cycle starts, the unit stops the
compressor for the time d12 (selectable from 0 to 3 minutes). When the compressor stops, the
four-way valve is switched (reversing of the cycle), after a time equal to d12/2; this waiting time
allows the pressure to balance before starting the defrost cycle. In this procedure the compressor
protection times are ignored, and consequently the compressor is stopped, and subsequently
restarted, immediately.
If d12=0, the compressor is not stopped and the reversing valve is switched immediately.
- Waiting time after defrost/delay in switching from cooling to heating

d13: At the end of the defrost cycle, the unit stops the compressor for a time d13 (selectable
from 0 to 3 minutes). When the compressor stops, the four-way valves is switched (reversing
of the cycle), after a time equal to d13/2; this waiting time allows the pressure to balance and
the outdoor coil to drip. In this procedure the compressor protection times are ignored, and
consequently the compressor is stopped, and subsequently restarted, immediately.
If d13=0, the compressor is not stopped and the reversing valve is switched immediately.
- End defrost with two gas circuits/1 fan circuit

d14: This parameter is used to select, in units with two refrigerant circuits and one fan circuit, the
end defrost mode.
d14 = 0 (default): the two circuits end the defrost independently (each according to their own
temperature or pressure probe reading), only if H2= 1;
d14 = 1: when both the circuits have reached the defrost condition;
d14 = 2: when one of the two circuits has reached the end defrost condition.
- Start defrost with 2 circuits

d15: This parameter is used to select whether to defrost the two circuits together or separately.
d15 = 0 (default): the two circuits start defrosting independently (each according to their own
temperature or pressure probe reading), only if H2=1;
d15 = 1: the two circuits start defrosting when both have reached the start defrost conditions;
d15 = 2: the two circuits start defrosting when at least one of the two has reached the defrost

- Forced ventilation time at end defrost

d16: If the parameter F13 = 2, as soon as the end defrost temperature or pressure is reached, the
fans are activated at maximum speed for the set time, before the change in operating mode.
Only at the end of this time will the cycle switch back to heat pump mode, with the normal
management of the fans.
- Defrost with compressors OFF (Fan Defrost)

d17: This function allows the outside temperature to be exploited, when sufficient, to defrost the
condenser (outdoor evaporator).
In these conditions, the unit, rather than reverse the cycle, simply turns OFF the compressors and
activates the fans at maximum speed.
The start and end defrost conditions remain unchanged, as does the use of any auxiliary heaters.
The parameter has the following settings: d17=0: function disabled, d17>0: function enabled with
relative set point (which represents the minimum defrost temperature set by the
manufacturer). Above the set point, the unit performs the Fan Defrost.

- Max outside temperature threshold for sliding defrost
d18: This establishes the maximum value of the outside temperature below which sliding defrost
is activated.
ENGLISH
- Maximum temperature/pressure differential deviation for defrost
d19: This value is expressed in °C if the compensation is controlled by temperature, or in bar if
controlled by pressure. The value set is subtracted from d03.
- Outside temperature differential for compensation saturation

d20: The value set is subtracted for d18.
• Fan settings: parameters (F*)

- Fan output
F01: Enables the operation of the fans.
F01=0: fans absent;
F01=1: fans present.
The PWM output (1 or 2, depending on the value of parameter H02) requires the presence of the
optional fan control cards (ON/OFF for the CONVONOFF module or speed variation for MCHRTF or
FCS three-phase).
- Fan operating mode

F02: This establishes the operating logic for the fans:
F02=0: always ON at maximum speed, independently from the compressors. The fans are only
switched OFF when the unit is in standby.
F02=1: ON at maximum speed when at least one compressor in the corresponding circuit is ON
(parallel operation in each circuit).
F02=2: ON when the corresponding compressor is ON, with ON/OFF control based on the
temperature/pressure settings for the minimum and maximum speed (parameters F05-F06-F08
and F09). When the compressors are stopped, the corresponding fans are also stopped,
irrespective of the condensing temperature/pressure.

With F02=3 and an NTC condenser probe, when the compressor starts the fans are started at
maximum speed for the time F11, irrespective of the temperature measured.
In the event of a condenser probe fault, the fans will be switched OFF.
- Minimum voltage threshold for Triac

F03: In the event of fan speed control, the optional phase cutting cards (MCHRTF*) are required,
fitted with a triac. The voltage delivered by the triac to the electric fan motor corresponding to
the minimum speed must be set. The set value does not correspond to the actual voltage in Volts
applied, but rather to an internal unit of calculation in the μC2SE.
If using FCS controllers, set this parameter to 0.

- Maximum voltage threshold for Triac
F04: In the event of fan speed control, the optional phase cutting cards (MCHRTF*) are required,
fitted with a triac. The voltage delivered by the triac to the electric fan motor corresponding to
ENGLISH
the maximum speed must be set. The set value does not correspond to the actual voltage in Volts
applied, but rather to an internal unit of calculation in the μC2SE. If using FCS controllers, set this
parameter to 100.
F04 = Represents the maximum threshold for the triac
- Temperature/pressure set point for minimum speed in cooling

F05: This represents the temperature or pressure below which the fans remain ON at minimum
speed. In the case of ON/OFF control, it represents the temperature or pressure below which the
fans are switched OFF (Fig. 5.a.k).
- Temperature/pressure differential for maximum speed in cooling

F06: This represents the temperature or pressure differential in reference to F05 above which the
fans are started at maximum speed; in the case of ON/OFF control, this represents the differential
above which the fans are started (Fig. 5.a.k).
- Temperature/pressure differential for fans Off in cooling

F07: This represents the temperature or pressure differential in reference to F05 below which the
fans are stopped. The fans are started 1 °C “lower” when using NTC temperature probes, or 0. 5
bars if using pressure probes. (Fig. 5.a.l)
If NTC temperature probes or pressure probes are used to control the condensing temperature/
pressure, there is an activation hysteresis of 1 °C or 0.5 bar respectively.
- Temperature/pressure set point for minimum speed in heating

F08: This represents the temperature or pressure above which the fans are started at minimum
speed (Fig 5.a.n).
For ON/OFF control, this represents the temperature or the pressure above which the fans are
switched off (Fig 5.a.l).
- Temperature/pressure differential for maximum speed in heating)

F09: This represents the temperature or pressure above which the fans are started at minimum
speed (Fig 5.a.l).
In the case of ON/OFF control, it represents the temperature or pressure above which the fans are
switched OFF (Fig.5.a.k). For capacity control for low pressure this represents, subtracted from F08,
the pressure limit below which the step disabled during capacity control is re-activated.
- Temperature/pressure differential for fans Off in heating

F10: If fan speed control is used, this represents the temperature or pressure differential in
reference to F08 above which the fans are stopped. The fans are started 1 °C “lower” if using NTC
temperature probes or 0. 5 bars lower if using pressure probes.
When using NTC temperature or pressure probes for condenser control, the fans are started with
an hysteresis of 1 ºC or 0. 5 bar.
- Fan start time

F11: This establishes the operating time at maximum speed when the fans are started, so as to
overcome the mechanical inertia of the motor.
The same times are observed in reference to the start of the compressor (irrespective of the
condensing temperature/pressure), if NTC temperature probes are used on the condenser and
speed control is enabled, F02=3; this is done to bring forward the sudden increase in pressure
(which does not necessarily correspond to a likewise rapid increase in temperature in the area
where the probe is located) and consequently to improve control
F11=0: the function is disabled, that is, the fans are activated at the minimum speed and then
controlled based on the condensing temperature/pressure.
- Triac impulse duration

F12: This represents the duration in milliseconds for the impulse applied to the triac. For induction
motors, set the parameter to 2 (default). On the other hand, when using the CONVONOFF0,
CONV0/10A0 modules or FCS controllers, set the parameter to 0.
42 μC2SE - +030220426 - rel. 2.5 - 27.11.2012

- Fan management mode in defrost
F13: This parameter sets the operating logic for the condensing fans during the defrost phase:
F13 = 0: (default) the fans are OFF.
ENGLISH
F13 = 1: the fans are ON as in cooling mode, based on the temperature or pressure.
F13 = 2: the fans are OFF until the end defrost temperature or pressure is reached, above which
they are started at maximum speed for the time set for parameter d16. Only at the end of this
time will the cycle return to heat pump mode with the normal management of the fans.
Note: If the unit is running the Fan Defrost function (parameter d17), the fan management
selected by F13 is disabled.
- Fan on time when starting in high condensing temp.

F14: establishes the time the fans are operated at maximum speed if starting with a high
condensing temperature.
F14 = 0: function disabled.
F14 > 0: fan on time (in seconds).
The function is operational only in chiller mode, if the probe on the condenser is a temperature
sensor and only for air-cooled units. When the first compressor in the circuit in question starts, it is
assumed that the temperature of the environment is close to the temperature of the condenser; if
the value read by the condenser probe is higher than the value of F05-F07, as well as starting the
compressor, the fans in the circuit in question are forced on at maximum speed for the time set
by F14.
- Activate low noise

F15: This function moves the condensing pressure set point so as to lower the fan speed and
consequently reduce noise (specifically at night). If low noise is active in cooling, the condenser
control set points are increased by F16. If low noise is active in heating, the set points are reduced
by F17.
F15= 0: Low noise deactivated.
F15= 1: Low noise activated in cooling.
F15= 2: Low noise activated in heating.
F15= 3: Low noise activated in cooling and heating.
N.B. The variation in the set point is not active during defrost
- Cooling set point differential

F16: Differential added to the condenser control set point when low noise is active (valid for both
temperature and pressure control).
- Heating set point differential

F17: Differential subtracted from the condenser control set point when low noise is active (valid
for both temperature and pressure control).

- Number of condenser fan circuits/water condensers

H02: This establishes the number of fan circuits present in the configurations with two circuits.
With one fan circuit (H02=0) the unit may have 1 or 2 refrigerant circuits:
• with one refrigerant circuit, the fans are exclusively controlled based on the pressure or
temperature read by the sensor in the first circuit;
• with two refrigerant circuits, the fans are controlled based on the higher temperature/pressure
of the two circuits. In heat pump mode, the output depends on the lower temperature or
pressure.
The output used is Y1. Vice-versa, with 2 ventilation circuits (H02=1) each PWM output is
independent and depends on its own condenser probe (B3 or B4 for circuit 1 and B7 or B8 for
circuit 2).

obviously with 2 circuits (including the expansion). With one evaporator (H03=0), the
ENGLISH
management of the heaters and the antifreeze function is performed only on B2. Vice-versa, with

H05= 4: follow hot keep or hot start in heating, always on in cooling
H05= 5: follow hot keep or hot start in heating, follow the compressors in cooling.
When the heating or cooling signal is received, first the evaporator pump/outlet fan starts (always
ON), and then the compressor, after the set times (c07, c08). The pump will not be stopped until
all the compressors are Off.
- Cooling/heating digital input

H06: Establishes whether the cooling/heating selection from digital input is enabled. see
parameters P08, P09, P10, P11, P12 and P13). The open status places the unit in cooling operation,
vice-versa, in heating.
D-IN Open = Cooling

- ON/OFF digital input

H07: Establishes whether the ON/OFF selection from digital input is enabled or disabled. If the
selection is enabled (H07= 1), the “open” status switches the unit Off, while in the “closed” status,
the unit may be OFF or ON, as controlled by the keypad.
This parameter is not valid for condensing units.

- Capacity-control logic
H12: Specifies the logic for the activation of the capacity-control steps for the compressors and
the 4-way reversing valve.
ENGLISH
H12 = 0: 4-way reversing valve and capacity-control normally energised

H12 = 1: 4-way reversing valve and capacity-control normally de-energised. Default value.
H12 = 2: 4-way reversing valve normally de-energised and capacity-control normally energised
H12 = 3: 4-way reversing valve normally energised and capacity-control normally de-energised.
Note: in the event of capacity-control, the rotation between compressor and corresponding valve
is disabled. FIFO or time logic can be used between the 2 circuits to optimise the starts or the
operating hours of the 2 compressors (1 per circuit).
- Enable pump down

H13: This function allows the unit to be stopped while avoiding the possible formation of liquid
refrigerant inside the evaporator. When the only active compressor is called to stop, the expansion
valve is closed so as to depressurise the circuit.
Valid only when the driver is installed, as the driver pressure probe is used.
- Minimum pumpdown pressure

H14: Limit pressure below which the compressor is deactivated.
- Maximum pumpdown time

H15: Maximum time after which the compressor is deactivated.
- SmartSET “CAREL patent” (cannot be used on air/air units)

H16: Activate smartSET, this function optimises the operation of the unit by calculating the
efficiency of the heat exchangers.
In smartSET mode, the following values are saved:

• Only when R06= 0 or 4;
• DTE: difference between evaporator inlet temperature (B1) and outlet temperature (B2/B5),
calculated at full load (all compressors on) when reaching the user set point. Saved to memory
on the E2P;
• DTC 1: difference between outside exchanger temperature (B3) and outside temperature (B4,....)
(this implies the configuration of a dedicated probe, optional setting). It is calculated whenever
condenser fan 1 runs at maximum speed for 30s, irrespective of the status of the compressors;
• DTC 2: (calculated only when there are 2 condensers) difference between outside exchanger
temperature (B7) and outside temperature (B4,....) (this implies the configuration of a dedicated
probe, optional setting). It is calculated whenever condenser fan 2 runs at maximum speed for
30s irrespective of the status of the compressors.
With proportional inlet control, the dynamic set point (STD) and the corresponding proportional
band are adapted according to the DTE.
With outlet control and dynamic logic, that is, dead zone and activation/deactivation times, the
dead zone has a dynamic value.
In this case too, control will be optimised according to the actual DTE measured.
- Minimum DTE value allowed

H17: Even if there is not danger involved, beyond the limit a warning is sent (“dEL”) to check the
water flow-rate, which is perhaps too high, or low condenser efficiency.
- Maximum DTE value allowed

H18: Maximum value allowed for DTE, above the limit the evaporator risks freezing, the
anomalous behaviour is signalled by “dEH”.
- Maximum DTC value allowed

H19: Maximum value allowed for DTC, above this value the condenser may be dirty (chiller) or
dirty/frozen (heat pump).

- Function of the second pump
H21: This parameter defines how the output dedicated to the second pump must be managed.
H21= 0: the second pump is disabled.
ENGLISH
H21= 1: the second pump is used only as a backup.
If the flow switch and corresponding alarm are activated, the pumps are switched over:
• if the alarm passes, a warning is shown on the display and the warning relay is activated, while
the unit continues to operate with the Backup pump. When the next alarm is activated the
pumps will be switched over.
• if the alarm remains active even with the second pump on for longer than the time set for P1,
the generic alarm is generated and the unit is switched OFF.
H21= 2: the second pump represents a backup pump. The two pumps are never used at the
same time but each 24 hours, are switched over. In the event of flow alarms, the logic is the same
as for setting 1. After being switched over due to the flow alarm, the 24-hour timer is set to zero.
H21= 3: the second pump is used as an ON/OFF device in the same way as the condenser fan
(which in this case is not present), in ON/OFF mode, with the same settings (in fact in this case the
pump replaces the fan, including the symbol).
H21= 4: the second pump is used for the condenser but is always ON. In this case the pump
symbol is
not managed.
Note: In the event of flow alarms with automatic reset, 10 attempts are made to restart the pump
every 90 seconds, for a maximum time of P02; after the 10 attempts, the alarm becomes manual
reset. With the second pump, the attempt consists in switching over the pump that is on, with the
same logic.
- Disable load default values

H22: If this parameter is set to 1, it disables the possibility of restoring the default parameters
using the PRG button at power ON.
- select supervisor protocol

H23: establishes the protocol used for the connection to the supervisor from the serial board
RS485
H23 = 0: CAREL protocol (Baud Rate 19200,…)
H23 = 1: Modbus protocol (Baud Rate, 9600, 8, N, 2)
• Alarm settings: parameters (P*)

- Flow switch alarm delay when starting pump
P01: Establishes a delay in the recognition of the flow switch alarm when starting the pump (this
allows the flow-rate to stabilise). In the event of alarms, the compressors are stopped immediately,
ignoring the times.
- Flow switch alarm delay in steady operation

P02: Establishes a delay in the recognition of the flow switch alarm in steady operation, so as to
filter any variations in flow-rate or air bubbles present in the water circuit. In the event of alarms,
the compressors are stopped immediately, ignoring the times.
- Low pressure alarm delay at compressor start

P03: Establishes a delay in the recognition of the low pressure alarm when the compressor
starts, so as to allow stable operating conditions to be reached. This delay is also counted when
reversing the 4-way valve in the refrigerant circuit.
- Part load in high pressure and low pressure in heat pump

P04: enable or disable the part load operation of the circuit in high pressure.
The function is valid if the unit is fitted with tandem or capacity controlled compressors and
pressure transducers. In the event of high pressure alarms, that is, for values over P18 (hysteresis
0.5 bar), the controller deactivates a load step in the circuit in question and waits 10 seconds. After
this interval, if the alarm is still active, the unit is stopped, otherwise it continues to operate in part
load mode. In this situation, the display shows the message PH1 and/or PH2, depending on the
circuit. This condition remains active until the pressure falls below the value corresponding to the
maximum speed of the condenser fans (F05+F06). Below this value, the unit reactivates the load
step that had previously been deactivated.
P04=0: capacity control not activated

Part load in low pressure P04=1: capacity control activated for high pressure
P04=2: capacity control activated for low pressure
P04=3: capacity control activated for high and low pressure
all LP
With the unit operating in heat pump mode, due to low outside temperatures or the load the
pressure may fall and stop the unit due to the low pressure alarm. If the circuit has 2 compressor
parz LP steps and the pressure remains below the value of one bar for the time P22, the circuit can
1 bar 1,5 bar 2 bar F08-F09 pressure operate at part load. This capacity control is not activated when the alarm comes from the digital
input. In the event of low pressure, the controller deactivates one step and if the pressure does
Fig. 5.b.b not return above the threshold in 10 seconds, the alarm is activated and the circuit is stopped.
This function is valid for all units with pressure transducers.

- Alarm reset
P05: Enables automatic reset for all those alarms that normally feature manual reset (high
pressure, low pressure, flow switch/antifreeze) as per the following table:
ENGLISH
P05= 0: (default) high pressure, low pressure and antifreeze (low temperature) with manual reset;
P05= 1: all the alarms with automatic reset;
P05= 2: high pressure and antifreeze (low temperature) manual, low pressure automatic;
P05= 3: high pressure manual, low pressure and antifreeze (low temperature) automatic;
P05= 4: high and low pressure manual, antifreeze (low temperature) automatic; *: the high and low pressure alarms are managed in the

• Control settings: parameters (r*)
- Cooling set point
r01: between r13 and r14
r02: cooling differential value of DTE when the unit is first started (autotuning enabled)
- Heating set point (heat pump)
r03: between r15 and r16
r04: heating differential value of DTE when the unit is first started (autotuning enabled)
- Compressor rotation
r05: The rotation of the compressors allows the operating hours to be balanced either statistically,
using FIFO logic, or absolutely, by counting the effective operating hours. Settings:
r05=0: rotation disabled; The customer can use compressors with different power ratings
according to the desired logic or manage the capacity-control functions. The compressors are
started/stopped in proportional mode.
r05=1: rotation with FIFO logic (first ON, first OFF, and vice-versa first OFF, first ON); in this mode
the operating hours are optimised together with the number of starts, even if the compressor
safety times are always respected.
r05=2: rotation with control of operating hours; in this way the compressors will have the same
operating hours, as the compressor with the least operating hours is always started first, again
observing the safety times. This does not however consider FIFO logic and does not optimise the
starts and stops. In the case of capacity controlled compressors (1 per circuit), FIFO logic or timed
operation will refer to the actual circuit and not the compressor valves. If, for example, when capacity
is required from circuit 1, compressor 1 starts first, capacity controlled (not at full capacity), and then
the valve is managed as a second step, so that the compressor will work at maximum efficiency. If
μC2SE - +030220426 - rel. 2.5 - 27.11.2012 49

less capacity is required, the second step will be deactivated first, and then the compressor. There is
no rotation between the compressor and the valve. If extra capacity is required, the second circuit
will start with compressor 2 and then, if required, the valve is operated.
ENGLISH
When stopping, the valve is managed first and then the actual compressor as a whole. Both
FIFO logic and timed operation will involve either one circuit or the other. The activation and
deactivation of the valves are not subject to timers, but rather only a hysteresis that is equal to
the set point and the differential of the step (in fact the valve performs the same function as a
hermetic compressor).
r05=3: direct correspondence between the digital inputs and the compressor relays (condensing
units only).
- Type of compressor control

r06: This parameter is used to set the logic for maintaining the set point:
ON
r06= 0: proportional on inlet
r06= 1: proportional on inlet + dead zone (see Dead zone, below)
r06= 2: proportional on outlet
r06= 3: proportional on outlet with dead zone
r06= 4: on outlet by time with dead zone (see timed outlet temperature control)
DEAD ZONE
The dead zone essentially shifts the proportional band from the set
point by the value set for the parameter r07.This parameter is valid in
all configurations if enabled (for r070: dead zone set and enabled).

Outlet temperature control by time r06 = 4 (only chiller) Fig. 5.b.d
This type of control is based on the need to maintain the outlet temperature as constant as
possible, despite the load being variable or the reduced inertia of the system.
The logic has the aim of keeping the temperature inside the dead zone.
If outside the zone, the compressors will be activated with the logic described below, so as to
return inside the dead zone, neither too quickly (using an integral or derivative), nor too slowly,

r08: The value set is used in the control algorithm (see timed outlet temperature control) as the

- Activation delay at upper limit of r07 (if r06 = 4) r11

r09: The value set is used in the control algorithm (see timed outlet temperature control) as the temperature
minimum time (at the end of the differential) for the activation of the compressors.

differential
The activation time is not a set parameter, but rather the combination of two set parameters, that
Fig. 5.b.e
is, r08 and r09. When the temperature leaves the dead zone, the activation time is equal to r08,
while at the end of the differential r02 the activation time is equal to r09.
Inside the differential r02, the activation time varies linearly between r08 and r09.
This means that as the temperature moves away from the set point, the times are reduced and
the esponse of the process becomes more dynamic.
- Deactivation delay at upper limit of r12 (if r06 = 4)

r10: The value set is used in the control algorithm (see timed outlet temperature control) as the
maximum time (at the set point) for the deactivation of the compressors.
- Deactivation delay at lower limit of r12 (if r06 = 4)

r11: The value set for this parameter is used in the control algorithm (see timed outlet
temperature control) as the minimum time (at the end of the deactivation differential) for the
deactivation of the compressors.

With autotuning active and inlet control, this represents the delay from switching the compressor

- Compressor deactivation differential (if r06 = 4)

set for the parameter r11 corresponding to the end of the differential for the deactivation of the
compressors, set by the parameter r12.

During defrost, automatic changeover is disabled. Only when the defrost ends can the operating

- Buffer tank suppression (low load)

r27: The low load condition is determined when only one compressor is started and then is
stopped after operating for less than the time set for parameter r28.
The settings are:
r27=0: the function is disabled;
r27=1: enabled only in chiller mode;
r27=2: enabled only in heat pump mode;
r27=3: enabled in chiller and heat pump modes.
- Minimum compressor on time to determine low load condition

r28: This parameter represents the minimum compressor on time below which the low load
condition is determined. Whenever the compressor stops, the controller analyses the load status.
If already in low load condition, the time considered by the controller for the analysis becomes
“r28 x r29: r02” in chiller mode, or “r28 x r30 : r04” in heat pump mode.
This parameter also has the meaning of damper travel time when freecooling/heating is enabled.
When the sum of the opening times reaches 2*damper travel time, the damper is no longer
moved. The sum is reset when the damper is closing. Operation is the same in closing.
- Differential during the low load condition in chiller mode

r29: This parameter represents the new differential considered by the controller in chiller mode
during the low load condition.
Specifically, r02 is replaced by r29.
This also has the meaning of freecooling differential.
- Differential during the low load condition in heat pump mode

r30: This parameter represents the new differential considered by the controller in heat pump
mode during the low load condition.
Specifically, r04 is replaced by r30.

temperature decreases. This maximum deviation of the set point from the set value is equal to
parameter r18. See, for example, parameter r17.

- Minimum damper opening position
r41: defines the percentage of the damper travel time for the minimum damper opening position.
The damper is moved to the minimum opening only when control is not active and after having
been completely closed so as to reset the correct evaluation of the position following control, or
alternatively directly to the minimum opening position set if the damper was previously in the
completely open position.
- Disable compressors for low outside temperature in Freecooling
r42: defines the outside temperature threshold in freecooling mode below which the
compressors are disabled, being considered unnecessary. Above the threshold, on the other
hand, the compressors operate to support freecooling.
- Electric heater set point relationship
r43: defines the relationship between the absolute set point, considered as the activation threshold
for the electric heaters, and the relative set point, that is, the activation threshold for the electric
heaters referred o a working set point (set point sent by μAD, r01 or r04 or from time band)
depending on the various applications and the mode, cooling or heating, and more precise:
r40= 0 electric heater set point A4, A8 and A11 on absolute values
r40= 1 electric heater set point A4 absolute value, A8 and A11 values relative to the working set point
r40= 2 electric heater set point A4 value relative to the working set point, A8 and A11 absolute
values
r40= 3 electric heater set point A4, A8 and A11 values relative to the working set point
- Damper inactivity time in control
r44: represents the time, expressed in seconds, of inactivity between one opening or closing of
the damper and the next. This time is used to adapt the dynamics of the system to the different
applications, thus allowing the damper to reach a stable position, according to the load and the
environment.

Table 6.a
Note: The warning relay differs from the alarm relay as it is only activated for warnings, that is, signals only, which have no direct effect on the operation of the unit,
and the display does not show the alarm symbol (bell).
Compressor
N.B. The alarm relating to the circuit with the fault must not interact with the operation of the other circuit, as long as the condenser is not shared in common.
μC2SE - +030220426 - rel. 2.5 - 27.11.2012 57
HP1: High pressure circuit 1
The alarm is detected irrespective of the status of the pump and the compressors. The compressors
corresponding to circuit 1 are immediately stopped (ignoring the set protection times), the
ENGLISH
buzzer and alarm relay are activated, and the display starts flashing. The fans corresponding to the
condenser in circuit 1 are activated at maximum speed for 60 s, so as to oppose the alarm situation,
after which they are switched OFF. This alarm may also be generated when the high pressure limit
is exceeded (valid only when the pressure transducer is fitted) set by the parameter P18, which to
be enabled must be greater than 3.0 bars, due to the corresponding hysteresis.
HP2: High pressure circuit 2
As for HP1 but relating to circuit 2.
LP1: Low pressure circuit 1
The alarm depends on P15, P7 and P3.
P15= 0, P07= 0: the alarm is detected only if the compressors in circuit 1 are ON, and after the time
P03 from when the compressors started, otherwise it is immediate.
P15= 1, P07= 0: the alarm is detected even if the compressors in circuit 1 are off, after the time P03.
P15= 0, P07= 1: the alarm is detected only if the compressors in circuit 1 are ON, and after the time
P03 from when the compressors started, otherwise it is immediate, and if in heat pump mode, is
activated for pressure values less than 1 bar.
P15= 1, P07= 1: the alarm is detected also if the compressors in circuit 1 are Off, after the time P03,
and if in heat pump mode, is activated for pressure values lower then 1 bar. The hysteresis for this
alarm is 1 bar.
LP2: Low pressure circuit 2
As for LP1 but relating to circuit 2.
PL1: Capacity-control for low pressure circuit 1
Indicates that circuit 1 on the unit is operating in capacity control mode, due to low pressure (heat pump
only).
PL2: Capacity-control for low pressure circuit 2
As for PL1, but for circuit 2.
PH1: Compressor part load circuit 1
Indicates the part load of circuit 1 due to high pressure. This situation is signalled by the message
“PH1” on the display the activation of the warning relay.
PH2: Compressor part load circuit 2
As for PC1, but for circuit 2.
tP: General thermal overload
The alarm is detected irrespective of the status of the pump and the compressors. The compressors,
the pumps and fans stop (without observing the protection times) or are inhibited from starting,
the alarm relay is activated, the display flashes the corresponding message, and the LED flashes. It
can be reset either manually or automatically (see par. P08, P09, P10, P11, P12, P13).
tC1: Thermal overload circuit 1
As for tP but relating to circuit 1
tC2: Thermal overload circuit 2
As for tC1 but relating to circuit 2.
LA: generic warning
This represents a generic warning that appears on the display, from digital input, without modifying
the operation of the unit. With the 1st circuit module only, the alarm relay is activated, while with
the expansion card the warning relay can be used.
FL: flow alarm
This alarm is detected only if the pump is ON (excluding the delays when starting P01 and in steady
operation P02), irrespective of the status of the compressor. All of the outputs are disabled: pump,
compressor (without observing the OFF times), condenser fan, and the buzzer sounds, the alarm
relay is activated and the display flashes. The presence of the utility water pump must be enabled
(H50). It can be reset either manually or automatically (see P08, P09, P10, P11, P12, P13).
FLb: Backup pump warning
The warning activates the warning relay and displays the message “FLb”; reset is manual. This
indicates the operation of the backup pump (if present) due to a probable fault on the main pump,
suggesting that maintenance is required. If the flow alarm features automatic reset, the controller
will make 10 attempts to re-start the pumps, after which the FL alarm will replace FLb. If the flow
alarm features manual reset, when first activated the controller will display the alarm FLb, switching
over the pumps; when activated again the FL alarm will replace FLb
E0: control probe error
A control probe alarm tells the user that the μCH2SE configuration is not coherent with the
parameter settings, as the control probe is not available; the alarm relay is activated and the display
flashes.
E1 to E8: probe error detected even when the unit is in Standby
The presence of a probe alarm causes the deactivation of the compressor, the condenser fans, the
pump (outlet fan in AIR/AIR units) and the heaters (so as to avoid fires in the air/air units); the buzzer
and alarm relay are activated, and the display starts flashing. If the probe has a compensation
function, the unit will continue a operate correctly, with the exception of the corresponding
function, and the warning relay will be activated and a message shown on the display, from E1 to
E8 for probes from B1 to B8.
58 μC2SE - +030220426 - rel. 2.5 - 27.11.2012

Hc1 to Hc4: compressor operating hour limit exceeded warning
When the number of operating hours for the compressor exceeds the maintenance threshold
(as default equal to zero, and consequently the function is disabled), the maintenance request
ENGLISH
signal is activated. The buzzer and the alarm relay are not activated, however the warning relay is
activated (with the expansion card fitted).
Epr, EPb: EEPROM error
A problem has occurred when saving the parameters to the unit’s non-volatile memory
(EEPROM); in the event of an Epr error, the μC2SE continues to perform the control functions with
the data present in the volatile memory (RAM), where there is a physical copy of all of the data.
After the first power failure the configuration will be lost. The buzzer and the alarm relay are not
activated. If the occurs when starting the unit, “EPb”, the controller will not operate.
ESP: communication error with expansion card
If the controller loses communication with the expansion card, the entire system will be stopped
to avoid adversely affecting the unit. The alarm relay is activated and the display will show the
message, with the red LED on steady.
EL1-2: warning, zero crossing error circuit 1-2
If the controller detects errors in the power supply, control may be lost over the fan speed. In this
case, the display will show a warning, and the fans will be controlled at maximum speed. The
alarm is reset automatically, so as to not affect the operation of the unit. If the expansion card is
used, the warning relay is activate)
dF1-2: warning, end defrost circuit 1-2 due to maximum time
If the defrost ends after the maximum time when end defrost by temperature or from external
contact has been selected, the unit displays the text dF1 for circuit 1 or dF2 for circuit 2.
The message is cancelled using the delete alarm procedure or when the next correct defrost
cycle is completed. The buzzer and the alarm relay are not activated. If the expansion card is used,
the warning relay is activated (if used).
A1: antifreeze alarm outlet limit circuit 1
The alarm is only detected in water chillers (H01= 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) by the evaporator water outlet
probe (B2/B6) or, if the electronic expansion driver (EVD) is connected to the tLAN, based on
the evaporation temperature sent by the driver. The evaporator water outlet temperature is
compared against the threshold A01, while the evaporation temperature is compared against the
threshold A14.
The compressors in circuit 1 and the condenser fans in circuit 1 are immediately stopped, the
buzzer and alarm relay are activated, and the display starts flashing. If the μC2SE is in Standby, the
alarm condition is not detected, and only the heaters are managed. Reset depends on parameter
P5:
1. in the event of automatic reset, the unit restarts automatically if the temperature is above the
value
A01+A02 or A14+A02.
2. in the event of manual reset, the unit can restart manually even if the alarm is active.
After the time A03, if the alarm persists the unit will stop again.
For air/air units the parameter becomes the antifreeze-outlet limit alarm set point. If the outlet
limit is active, the freecooling damper is forced closed and the message SUL is shown on the
display.
A2: antifreeze alarm circuit 2
As for A1 but relating to circuit 2
Ht: high temperature warning
This alarm is activated when the threshold is exceeded (read by B1), set for the parameter P16. It is
delayed at power ON by the parameter P17 and causes the activation of the alarm relay and the
buzzer, without deactivating the outputs. It is reset automatically when conditions that caused the
alarm are no longer present.
Lt: low temperature warning
For direct expansion units (H01=0, 1) the alarm is used to measure a low room temperature using
probe B1 or B2 (depending on par. A06). The alarm may be reset manually or automatically, and
depends on the parameter P05. If the expansion is present, the corresponding relay is activated; in
the event of μC2SE module only, the alarm relay will be used.
AHt: high temperature warning when starting the system
The advice does not activate the relay, and displays the message “AHt”.
ALt: low temperature warning when starting the system
The advice does not activate the relay, and displays the message “ALt”.
ELS/EHS: warning, low/high power supply alarm
If the power supply voltage is too low or too high, the corresponding message is displayed.
In these cases, the correct operation of the μC2SE is no longer guaranteed. In the low voltage
conditions only the requests to deactivate the loads are effected. Any start-up requests remain
pending. The high voltage condition involves the deactivation of all the energised relays.
L: Low load warning
The warning does not activate the relay and displays the message “ L ”; reset is automatic.
tEr: terminal communication error
This alarm is only shown if μC2SE has been connected to a terminal. The alarm is generated a fixed
time (30 s) after μC2SE loses contact with the terminal. In this case the unit is disabled for safety
reasons.
μC2SE - +030220426 - rel. 2.5 - 27.11.2012 59

D1: defrost signal circuit 1
When the defrost is on circuit 1, the display shows the message D1.
D2: defrost signal circuit 2
ENGLISH
When the defrost is on circuit 2, the display shows the message D2.
Fd: dirty filter warning
This warning is only shown if the temperature difference between the exchanger inlet and outlet
is higher than parameter A12.
Driver
All the driver alarms on the μC2SE that stop the unit feature automatic reset. Consequently, the
possibility to select the automatic resetting of the entire system must be selected for the drivers
by setting the corresponding parameters. The μC2SE can send the Go Ahead command according
to the normal procedure for resetting the alarms from the keypad.
Ed1: tLan communication error with Driver 1

The alarm is generated after a fixed time (5 s) from when the μC2SE loses contact with Driver 1. In
this case, circuit 1 is disabled for safety reasons.
Ed2: tLan communication error with Driver 2 (expansion card)
As for Ed1, but relating to driver 2.
SH1: low superheat alarm circuit 1

The low superheat alarm for circuit 1, after a fixed time (5 s), inhibits the circuit 1 for safety reasons.
The risk is that the compressors will flood.

EU1: EVD 1 error, valve open when starting

If when starting the system the Driver detects that the valve is still open, an alarm is sent to the
μC2SE that stops the compressors and the fans in the corresponding circuit.
EU2: EVD 2 error, valve open when starting

As for EU1, but relating to EVD 2.
Eb1: EVD 1 battery alarm

The EVD 1 battery alarm stops the compressors from starting so as to prevent the risk of liquid
returning to circuit 1, and disables the corresponding fans.

primary of the transformer supplying the μC2SE board is connected to the same phase that
is connected to terminals N and L on the speed control board; therefore, do not use
380 Vac/24 Vac transformers to supply the controller if the phase and neutral are used to directly
power the speed control boards.

7.7 Minimum and maximum fan speed calculation
This procedure should only be performed when the fan speed control boards are sued (code
MCHRTF*).
it must be stressed that if the ON/OFF modules (code CONVONOFF0) or alternatively the PWM
to 0 to 10 V converters (code CONV0/10A0) are used, parameter F03 should be set to zero, and
parameter F04 to the maximum value.
Given the different types of motors existing on the market, the user must be able to set the
voltages supplied by the electronic board corresponding to the minimum and maximum
LOAD LINE
speeds. In this regard (and if the default values are not suitable), proceed as follows:
L N N L
• set parameter F02= 3 and set F03 and F04 to zero;
• the condenser control set point (evaporator in HP mode) has been modified to take the output
signal to the maximum value (PWM);
• increase F04 until the fan operates at a sufficient speed (make sure that, after having stopped it,
it can rotate freely when released);
Vac? • “copy” this value to parameter F03; this sets the voltage for the minimum speed;
• connect a voltmeter (set for AC, 250V) between the two “L” terminals (the two external
contacts);
• increase F04 until the voltage stabilises at around 2 Vac (inductive motors) or 1.6, 1.7 Vac
(capacitive motors). Once the value has been found, it will be evident that even when
increasing F04 the voltage no longer decreases. In any case do not increase F04 further so as to
Fig. 7.g avoid damaging the motor;
• restore the correct condenser set point (evaporator in HP mode).
The operation is now completed.

7.8 Programming key (code PSOPZKEYA0)
The programming keys PSOPZKEY00 and PSOPZKEYA0 for CAREL controllers are used for copying
the complete set parameters for μC2SE.
ENGLISH
The keys must be connected to the connector (4 pin AMP) fitted on the controllers, and can
work with the instruments ON or OFF, as indicated in the operating instructions for the specific
controller.
The two main functions (upload/download) that can be selected through two dip-switches
(which are placed under the battery cover). They are:
• Loading to the key the parameters of a controller (UPLOAD);
• Copying from the key to one or more controllers (DOWNLOAD).
Warning: the copying of the parameters is allowed only between instruments with the same
code. Data loading operation to the key is always allowed. To make identification of the key easier
CAREL has inserted a label on which you can describe the loaded programming or the machine Fig. 7.h Fig. 7.i
to which you are referring.
IMPORTANT NOTE: the key can be used only with controllers μC2SE that have the same
Firmware version.
UPLOAD - copying the parameters from an instrument to the key:

• open the rear hatch of the key and place the two dip-switches in the OFF position (see Fig.
7.j.a). Close the hatch;
• connect the key to the connector of the instrument;
• press the button on the key and keep it pressed, checking the LED signal sequence: at first it is
red, after a few seconds it becomes green;
• if the sequence of signals is as indicated above, the copying operation has been completed
correctly (green LED ON), the button can be released and the key disconnected from the
instrument; in case of different signals: if the green LED doesn’t turn on or if there are some
flashes, there’s a problem. Refer to the corresponding table for the meaning of the signals. Fig. 7.j.a
DOWNLOAD - copying the parameters from the key to the instrument:

• open the rear hatch of the key and place the dip-switch n. 1 in the OFF position and the dip-
switch n. 2 in the ON position (see Fig. 7.j.b). Close the hatch;
• connect the key to the connector of the instrument;
• press the button on the key and keep it pressed, checking the LED signal sequence: at first it is
red, after a few seconds it becomes green;
• if the sequence of signals is as indicated above, the copying operation has been completed
correctly (green LED ON), the button can be released; after a few seconds the LED turns off and
the key can be disconnected from the instrument;
• in case of different signals: if the green LED doesn’t turn on or if there are some flashes there’s a
problem. Refer to the corresponding table for the meaning of the signals.
The operation takes maximum 10 seconds to complete. If after this period the completed Fig. 7.j.b
operation signal hasn’t yet appeared, i.e. the green LED ON, try releasing and pressing the button
again. In the event of flashes, refer to the corresponding table for the meaning of the signals.

WARNINGS
• If one transformer is used to supply both the μC2SE and the accessories, all the G0 terminals
on the various controllers or the various boards must be connected to the same terminal on
the secondary, and all the G terminals to the other terminal on the secondary, so as to avoid
damaging the instrument;
• For use in residential environments, use shielded cable (two wires + shield earthed at both
ends, AWG 20-22) for the tLAN connections (EN 55014-1).
• Avoid short-circuits between V+ and GND so as to not damage the instrument;
• Perform all the maintenance and installation operations when the unit is not connected to the
power supply;
• Separate the power cables (relay outputs) from the cables corresponding to the probes, digital
inputs and serial line;
• Use a transformer dedicated exclusively to the electronic controllers for the power supply.
Protection against electric shock and maintenance warnings
The system made up of the control board (MCH200003*) and the other optional boards
(MCH200002*, MCH200485*, MCHRTF****, CONVONOFF*, CONV0/10A*, EVD000040*) represents a
control device to be integrated into class 1 or class 2 appliances.
The class of protection against electric shock depends on how the control device is integrated
into the unit built by the manufacturer.
Disconnect power before working on the board during assembly, maintenance and replacement.
The protection against short circuits must be guaranteed by the manufacturer of the appliance
that the controller will be fitted on.
