CAREL bases the development of its products on several years’ experience in the HVAC field, on
continuous investment in technological innovation of the product, on rigorous quality procedures and
processes with in-circuit and function tests on 100% of its production, on the most innovative production
technologies available on the market. CAREL and its branch 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, developer 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 in-
stallation 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 documen-
tation 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 definition / con-
figuration / programming / commissioning so that it can function at its best for the specific application.

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 of
compressors,...) must be performed with the controller in Standby. level level name password

- 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.

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).
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 low pressure - 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
all LP
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
parz LP until the pressure falls below the value corresponding to the maximum speed of the condenser fans
pressure
1 bar 1,5 bar 2 bar F08-F09 (F05+F06). Below this value, the unit reactivates the load step that had previously been deactivated.
P04=0: capacity control not activated
Fig. 5.b.b 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
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 steps and the pressure
remains below the value of one bar for the time P22, the circuit can 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 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:
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;
*: the high and low pressure alarms are managed in the P05= 4: high and low pressure manual, antifreeze (low temperature) automatic;
same way both for the transducers and the pressure switches P05= 5: high and low pressure manual after the third activation in one hour*, antifreeze (low temperature)
(digital input); if the unit is in standby the count (3 times in automatic;
one hour) is reset. P05= 6: high and low pressure manual after the third activation in one hour*, antifreeze (low temperature) manual.

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).
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.
ENGLISH
The buzzer and the alarm relay are not activated, however the warning relay is activated (with the
expansion card fitted).
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.

IMPORTANT: The power supply to the µC2SE (G and G0) and the MCHRTF**** board must be in 2 GND Y
phase. If, for example, the power supply to the µC2SE system is three-phase, make sure that the - +
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

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 speeds. In this regard
(and if the default values are not suitable), proceed as follows:
• set parameter F02= 3 and set F03 and F04 to zero; LOAD LINE
• the condenser control set point (evaporator in HP mode) has been modified to take the output signal L N N L
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);
• “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);
Vac?
• 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 avoid damaging the motor;
• restore the correct condenser set point (evaporator in HP mode).

The µC²SE features the following user interfaces:
Remote terminal
The remote terminal allows the complete configuration of the µC2SE from a remote position. The buttons
and indications on the display faithfully reproduce the µC2SE user interface. In addition, PlantVisor can be
connected to the remote terminal using the special accessory.
Product code:
MCH200TP00 for panel installation
MCH200TW00 for built-in assembly
For further information see the instruction sheet +05000750 and the manual +030220465.
Fig. 7.m
µAM
µAM is the µArea controller compatible with the µC2SE.
This can control up to 10 fan coils (fitted with the e-droFAN electronic controller). By analysing the
temperature-humidity conditions in the different rooms, µAM optimises the temperature of the water
produced by the chiller/HP, improving power consumption, performance and comfort.
In addition, the µAM centralises the data, such as set point, heat/cool mode and on/off for the individual
fan coil and the entire system, including time bands.
Product code:
ADEC001010: with NTC probe, RTC, buzzer and backlighting
ADEH001010: cwith NTC and humidity probe, RTC, buzzer and backlighting Fig. 7.n

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.
