3. Components and operating principle
3.1 Intended and non-intended use

Intended use
CONTEG In-Row conditioners are designed to cool rooms containing technological equipment,
sheltered form weather. Use these conditioners to eliminate the problems caused by high
temperatures, dirt and humidity in the room subject to climate control and in which the
conditioners are to be installed.
As well, CONTEG In-Row conditioners cannot be used outside safety limits specified on the
name-plate. Conditioners must not be transported or used in positions that differ from those for
which they were designed. These units are designed to be housed in a closed metallic frame for
protection. This frame is between two racks (open loop) or beside one rack (closed loop), with
front and back panels (not included in this product). Allowed installation positions are shown in
this manual.

CONTEG is not responsible for any malfunctions caused by failure to comply with these
instructions. The operator bears the entire risk.

Non-intended use
Air conditioner cannot be installed on movable, vibrating, oscillating, tilted (non-leveled) parts.

Generally, air conditioner cannot be installed in the following areas:

• with strong heat radiation
• with strong magnetic fields
• with free flames
• with fire risk
• with inflammable products
• with explosive atmosphere
• with saline atmosphere
• with aggressive atmosphere
For any doubt, please consult the manufacturer.

Page 11 of 94
3.2 Component layout

CONTEG In-Row units are installed between two server racks in open loop configuration.
They take air from a hot aisle of the room, cool and deliver it to a cold aisle, where it is sucked in
by the server rack fans.

In closed loop configuration the air conditioners are beside the rack to which they are dedicated.
Therefore, they take air from the discharge of the rack and, after cooling, they deliver it to the
rack intake.

In both configurations, air suction and delivery are frontal and can be redirected with a deflector
or a plenum (not part of the supplied product).

According to the air flow through the air conditioner, the following components can be seen:
• Air filter (only in open loop configuration)
• Piping with modulating valve (3-way) and air valve on the top (2-way on the request)
• Cooling coil with condensate tray underneath
• Radial fans

Holes for water pipes are placed either on the base or on the top panel of the unit, and must be
used according to the selected version.

The electrical box is separated from the air conditioner and designed to be fixed to the rack
metallic frame above the air conditioning unit. It is closed by a protective cover.

A columnar metal bar with button switches for each fan is supplied loose, to be integrated in the
frame containing the air conditioner.

Diagram of the internal hardware

Page 13 of 94
3.3 Working modes

Cooling
Air is sucked in by the radial fans, is filtered (only in open loop units) and then it is cooled passing
through the chilled water heat exchanger. After treatment, air is delivered through the frontal
opening. Cooling capacity is modulated by C2020 in different ways, acting on the 3-way valve
and / or on the fan speed, according to the temperature measured by the return probes.

Dehumidification
According to the signal of humidity inside the room, supplied by the humidity sensor, the air
conditioner electronic controller C2020 reduces fan speed. Consequent air flow reduction causes
a higher temperature difference between inlet and outlet air, helping condensation of humidity in
the heat exchanger.

Hot spot mode

Enabled by an external thermostat connected to a digital input of C2020, fans rotate at maximum
speed, unless dehumidification is required.

Emergency
When a fan is blocked, temperature control is in emergency mode. The remaining fans work at
maximum speed, unless dehumidification is required.

3.4 Mechanical components

Structure
These units are made of self-supporting galvanized sheet metal parts that offer good corrosion
resistance (suitable only for non-corrosive and non-saline environments). Electric box and fan
switch bar are powder coated with protective paint. Internal metal parts are used to strengthen
the unit and direct air flow. This system is designed for an easy inspection of the unit.
Inner components are accessible by removing the outer panels and doors of the rack where the
air conditioner is mounted.

Air filter (only in open loop version)

Air filter is installed on open loop units to filter air from the hot aisle before it enters the air-water
heat exchanger, preventing dirty particles from obstructing the coil. It belongs to efficiency class
EU3. Its zigzag shape with 100 mm height implies a wide filtering surface, reducing pressure
losses and frequency of maintenance.

Condensate water tray

Made of aluminum sheet, it is placed below the heat exchanger to collect water condensing on its
surface during cooling mode. It is provided with a connector with 15 mm outer diameter for water
drain.

Page 14 of 94
3.5 Hydraulic circuit components

Air-to-water heat exchanger

It is made of copper pipes and aluminum fins. In this coil, heat is exchanged between air to be
cooled and chilled water. It is not suitable to either corrosive or saline environments.

3-way modulation valve

This valve receives a modulating signal from C2020 controller to vary water flow through the heat
exchanger, in order to adjust cooling capacity of the unit to the actual heat load (see working
logic diagrams).

Page 15 of 94
3.6 Motors

Fans
AC fans are radial, with backward curved blades made of galvanized sheet steel. Rotor is painted
with epoxy black RAL9011, mounted on ball bearings and dynamically balanced according to
VDI2060. Protection degree IP44; Insulation class B.
Optional EC (electronic commutation) fans are radial, with backward curved blades made of
galvanized sheet steel. Rotor is also made of galvanized sheet steel, mounted on ball bearings
and dynamically balanced according to DIN ISO1940, quality level G6.3. Protection degree IP44;
Insulation class B.

Modulating valve servomotor

Power supply 24 V AC 50/60 Hz. Absorbed power 1 W at nominal torque. Control signal 0÷10 V.
running time = 90 s for an angle of 90°. Protection class III, IP54 protection degree.

3.7 Control, monitoring and safety components

All unit components are factory adjusted and generally do not require further adjustment. If, for
special reasons, it becomes necessary to change the adjustment settings of the automatic
devices these changes must only be performed by specialists who are experts on the product
and only after informing the CONTEG engineering division department.
CONTEG conditioners come with a set of devices designed to ensure proper operation. Tripping
by any one of these automatic safety devices is a sign of a malfunction and it is absolutely
necessary to eliminate the cause.

It is forbidden to electrically by-pass the safety devices. Doing so, in addition to

being dangerous, also immediately invalidates guarantee coverage for the product.
Isolate the system from electric mains before performing any repair or maintenance
work.
Work on the units must only be done by qualified and authorized experts.

Contactors
These control motors that operate with auxiliary voltage. They comply with IEC947-4-1
standards.

Fan switches - circuit breakers

Double-pole main switches are placed on the multi-switch bar which is separated from unit frame.
They disconnect main power supply of all electrical circuits downstream. According to the
directions on Chapter 5, one additional disconnecting switch must be always installed on main
power supply lines upstream the unit, in order to cut power supply before any maintenance on
the unit. Fan switches protect against overcurrents and short circuits.

Page 16 of 94
Fan speed controller (with AC fans)
This electronic module receives a PWM signal from C2020 controller and transforms it in a
change of effective voltage through a phase-cut system. Protection degree is IP20.

Expansion tachometric board (with more than 3 EC fans)

This expansion board receives the three V1 - V2 - V3 signals 0÷12 V from C2020 and duplicate
them to control speed of 3 couples of fans. This board receives a tachometric signal as a
feedback from each single fan to check whether it runs.

Temperature probes
4 PTC temperature probes are connected to analogue inputs of C2020 controller, in order to
measure following parameters:
• 2 return air probes, placed behind air intake opening, higher and lower parts
• 2 supply air probes, placed on multi-switch bar, higher and lower parts

Humidity sensor
Placed behind air intake opening, it sends a humidity analogue signal (3÷18 mA) to C2020
controller, in order to enable dehumidification mode. Measured range of humidity is 15 ÷ 90%.
Protection degree is IP54.

Page 17 of 94
C2020 electronic controller
This electronic microprocessor card is equipped with a set of terminals to connect the card to the
devices it controls (valve, fans…). The operating software and the file containing the operating
parameters are written in the EEPROM so that they remain stored even when there is a cut-off in
the power supply.
The C2020 card is housed inside the electric box and can only control one unit.
A keypad can be connected to the C2020 card to display information regarding operating
conditions, the state of the unit and any alarm. As standard, the keypad for CONTEG In-Row
is supplied mounted on the front door of the cooling unit cabinet. The keypad is provided with cable
which is connecting it to the USER socket in the e-box.

The C2020 card can also be connected to a remote monitoring / supervision system using a
serial line and ordering the necessary options. Port for serial line RS485 is available as an
accessory AC-SERC1010.

Refer to the wiring diagram given in part 2 of the manual, which is specific for each
unit, when assigning the card inputs / outputs.

Page 18 of 94
RFS dirty filter pressure switch (only in open loop models) – FL air flow alarm (only with
AC fans)
RFS gives a dirty filter signal (only with open loop units), shown both on the display and on a
voltage-free contact. It indicates when it is necessary to clean or replace the air filter. A similar
device, with an inverse logic compared to the dirty filter, gives a signal that there is insufficient air
flow on the evaporator which indicates that the evaporator fan is broken or jammed.

5. Installation
5.1 Positioning the unit

CONTEG In-Row air conditioners should always be ordered with plinths (DP-PDN-100-30/100 or
120). They have a compact frame and front door and a rear panel. For the open loop systems
the front and rear doors (panels) of both cooling units and the racks are perforated (see below)
while the closed loop system has solid front door and rear panels (see the next page).

In open loop system the cooling units must be installed between two server racks. Installation at
an end of a row is not recommended because there is a mix of hot and cold air. Furthermore it is
recommended to install them near the racks with highest heat load.

In the front the cooling units and CONTEG racks are joined together using the universal
mounting kit (DP-DR-UNI) and sealing tape, in case of closed architecture.

Note: When using the cooling unit at the end of the row (for example in a contained cold aisle
arrangement) there is a special way of joining the CONTEG cooling unit with the rack. A floating
nut on the cooling unit must be removed and then a screw must be preinstalled in the rack before
joining the units.

To minimize the influence to the air flows of units installed in neighboring parallel rows it is highly
recommended to offset the cooling units (as indicated in layout below). Using this method
assures that the cooling units don’t impede or overly influence the other units air-streams and
allows for more efficient air flows.

Page 23 of 94
In closed loop version the cooling unit is installed beside a rack. A closed air circuit is created
between the rack and the unit. Hot and cold zone are created inside the closed module which
has solid front and rear doors. A system for emergency opening of doors is required.

Furthermore, check that:

 There’s room enough for an easy installation and maintenance of the unit: please
check dimensional drawings, with particular attention to the accessibility of water
connections and wiring. There must be a free space of 1 m from both front and back
sides of the unit for installation and maintenance.
 Air circulates correctly, both inside and outside the frame, avoiding any short circuit,
re-circulation or by-pass.
 Additionally: check that air suction and discharge are correctly separated inside the
frame. Separate the air suction from discharge placing sealing material (gaskets)
suitably.
 In open loop version, avoid placing of two units such as their air supplies are one in
front of the other.
 Avoid any obstacle to the air flow.
 Measures (i.e. deflectors) to separate hot and cold aisles increase the efficiency of
the system, and are highly recommended.
 Units should be installed on flat and perfectly horizontal bases so that they will
operate correctly and that condensate will drain properly.

The piping and wiring to the cooling unit and its electrical parts must be connected
by authorized personnel only.
Before the start-up please observe position of condensate water discharge and
water connection passages in the following drawings.

5.2 Hydraulic connection
CONTEG In-Row air conditioners must be connected to a circuit with chilled water, including
either a chiller or a dry cooler or a cooling tower. For chilled water circulation pumps have to be
provided. These pumps must be selected according to total pressure losses through the
hydraulic circuit.
Pressure losses through CONTEG In-Row air conditioners are shown in the
technical data sheet at the end of this manual. Pressure losses are referred to pure
water. Correction factor for pressure losses in case of monoethylene glycol
addition is shown in the following diagram.

An important requirement for hydraulic circuit is quality of water. In case its cleanliness is
inadequate, a fine mesh filter in the circuit is recommended.

For chilled water air conditioners, demineralized water is recommended as cooling

medium.
Cooling fluid temperature must be > +5°C.

In the following table, substances which must be added in particular working conditions to
ensure correct functioning:

WORKING CONDITIONS ADDITIVE

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE < +5°C

Antifreeze containing inhibited monoethylene glycol
(*)
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT MADE OF MULTI-
METALLIC SYSTEMS: CAST IRON, STEEL, Passivating inhibitor of corrosion with neutral PH (*)
COPPER, BRASS, ALUMINUM

(*) Dose following the prescription and working temperatures of antifreeze supplier,
according to minimum ambient and working temperatures.

An excess of additive worsens chiller performance. For any doubt please consult chiller
manufacturer.

Maximum admitted quantity of glycol 50%

Maximum total (static + dynamic) pressure in water circuit = 8 bar for every
standard CONTEG model.

using monoethylene glycol

Chilled water average temperature

Hydraulic connections in CONTEG In-Row units are screw type, with 1” diameter for all models.

Connect corresponding nipple (not supplied with the unit) as a terminal of external chilled water
circuit. Then screw it to the female connector on the unit, respecting water inlet and outlet
positions.

Select hydraulic pipes with diameter suitable to their equivalent length (considering
pressure losses through curves, unions, etc.) to the water flow, to the circulation
pump head. The following minimum diameters are suggested:

WATER FLOW < 2500 l/h From 2500 From 3000 From 4000
to 3000 l/h to 4000 l/h to 5500 l/h
PIPE DIAMETER 1“ 1 1/2 “ 2“ 2 1/2 “

Female
(unit side)

Nipple

Union screwed connections

In case some gaskets are missing, use always glycol-proof rubber gaskets. Apply
teflon-gasket on the nipple and tighten it to the female connector on the unit.

Page 30 of 94
Application of teflon-gasket (not supplied) to the nipple

Insulate water pipes with anti-diffusion material, to avoid heat exchange with ambient air and
consequent condensation of humidity in it on the pipes.

Insulation of water pipes

Once water circuit is closed, open the red water cocks and the 3-way valve manually (if
closed). Then, de-ventilate the circuit through the valve on the top part of internal piping.

Condensate discharge: Syphon installation (Air-trap)
Ensure that there is a sufficient height difference between the fan pan and the upper bow of the
syphon or the highest part of the drain tube, in order to avoid a water column in the drain syphon
caused by the pressure in the suction area of the A/C unit, which prevents the draining of the
condensate water

Example: Static pressure in the suction area: -300Pa

h = p / (p • g)
h = -300Pa / (1000kg/m³ • 10m/s²)
h = -3 cm
If the height h is smaller than 3 cm with a pressure of 300 Pa in the suction area, the water
column rests in a drain pipe and the water is not transported and fills the condensate pan. This
water can be drawn dropwise in the fan or can drop out of the unit if the pan is full.

Unit limit

Possible installation at
the customer side:
funnel

Connect the condensate water drains to the local waste water system. Condensate discharge
connector with a diameter if 15 mm is on the unit base (position is shown in drawings in
paragraph 5.1).

Comply with the regulations of the local water supply authority.

Page 32 of 94
5.3 Electrical connections

It is absolutely necessary, before making any connections, to check the supply

voltage with a tester. The voltage that is measured must correspond with the
voltage indicated on the unit label.
The installer must install, upstream from the unit, an isolating switch with fuse and
capacity as specified on the label in order to permit maintenance on the machine
with total absence of electricity.
The ON-OFF key on the C2020 keypad (if present) is only used to put the unit on
stand-by. It must not be considered to be a safety component permitting
maintenance on the unit. Maintenance must only be carried out after having
isolated the power supply to the unit (see previous note).
All electrical connections and wiring must be done exclusively by authorized
technical personnel.
The system must be equipped with an efficient ground connection.

The electrical connection to the climate-control system must comply with the following
regulations:
Machine safety directive (2006/42/CE)
Low voltage directive (2006/95/CE)
Electromagnetic compatibility directive (2004/108/CE)
National mechanical and electrical systems regulations

• Check power supply voltage and frequency;

• Check that these values are compatible with those of the unit (shown in its name-plate);
• Cut off both the main power supply before working on the unit;
• Section of power supply cables must be selected in accordance to their length and the power
absorbed by the unit, as prescribed by current regulations. These cables must comply with
currently applicable standards. In any case we recommend using shielded cables unless the
installer carries out, at his expense, tests that demonstrate that shielding is not necessary;
• Check that the power cables are installed at an adequate distance from alarm,
communication and monitoring cables;
• Install an omnipolar type C curve circuit breaker on the main power supply lines, if necessary
equipped with another ground fault switch. Size of main switch is 10 A for every standard
CONTEG In-Row model.

CONTEG In-Row units are provided with an additional terminal to connect emergency
power supply.

Failure to comply with these points can cause damage or malfunctions to

components and immediately invalidates guarantee coverage.

Page 33 of 94
• The electrical box is supplied pre-installed on the top of the unit. It is provided with 4 lateral
fixation inserts. The electrical box is plugged to internal components of the unit. When
inserting the unit into the cooling unit cabinet, it is possible to unplug the electrical box and
put it into the cabinet in a second moment. Then electrical connections must be restored
following the wiring diagram.
• Electrical cables are connected from each single fan to the multi-switch bar following the
wiring diagram.
• Power supply and signal cables from electrical box are connected to multi-switch bar
following the wiring diagram.
• Main power supply cables from the distribution panel of the site are connected to the unit
power terminal board located inside its electrical box. In the following drawing the lay-out of
cable passage and connectors is shown.
• The emergency power supply, if available, is connected in the same way.

6. Start-up
The start-up must be done exclusively by authorized technical personnel. Before
the first start-up the system must be installed and connected as described in the
“Installation” chapter.

• Make sure the main switch is turned off and that the system is isolated from power mains.
• Check that all power switches in the electric system have been turned off.
• Check that the main electrical supply cable and the terminals, including the PE terminals, are
correctly hooked up.
• Check that contactors are free to move.
• Use the main switch to turn the air climate control system on.
• Activate fan power switches for the fans one after another.
• Check the supply voltage on all phases.
• At this point the electronic card is powered and the single components of the system can be
activated to check for proper operation. The fundamental procedures to follow during
installation are described in the following paragraph. Other guidelines are found in the
manual for the C2020 electronic card.
• Set the desired recovery air temperature on the conditioner display.
• Start the climate control system by pressing the ON-OFF push-button on the display.
• Check the current absorbed by the fans, comparing these values with those indicated in
technical specifications.
• When the system is operating at normal capacity: 1) check that there are no alarms; 2) check
that the fans work properly; 3) check, with the unit operating, that power supply voltages
remain inside the values indicated on the technical data label for the unit; 4) check that the
unit operates according to the logic described in the following chapter.

Shutdown
To shut the unit down, disconnect it from all its power supplies using the related isolating
switches.

The ON-OFF key on the C2020 display (if present) is only used to put the unit on
stand-by. It must not be thought to be a safety component to turn the unit off prior
to performing maintenance.

7.7 Probe offset

To offset temperature probe TIA, proceed as follows:
• Read on the display temperature value which has to be adjusted (e.g. temperature S1 =
18°C).
• Measure actual value with a reference instrument placed near the probe to be offset (e.g.
internal return air temperature = 15°C).
• Calculate correction as ‘actual value’ - ‘value on display’ (e.g. 15°C - 18°C = -3°C).
• On wiring diagram verify correspondence between TIA probe and Tx number of analogue
channel on the C2020. For instance, we assume that TIA is connected to T1.
• Check the table above: T1 offset is done with parameter I1.
• Using the keypad, enter SETUP I/O menu.
• Go to parameter I1 and press "SET" key. Value of parameter blinks. Set value at the
calculated correction (in our example -3°C), then press “SET” to store new value.
• Proceed in the same way to offset the other probes.

7.8 Control logic

Temperature control is proportional (P) type.
Proportional control (P) follows the difference between desired temperature value
(SET POINT) and the highest temperature between point A and point B (highest of
TIA and TIB, connected as standard to supply air temperature probes).
There are three modes of temperature control:
• cooling mode
• hot spot mode
• emergency mode

FAN SPEED MANAGEMENT

Parameters:
M28 COEFFICIENT FOR CONTROL OF FAN COUPLE 2: preset= 50%

Page 55 of 94
CONTEG A2 open loop and CONTEG A4 closed loop have 3 fans. Each fan has its
own output from the C2020 board (FAN1 upper, FAN2 middle, FAN3 lower).
CONTEG A8 / B4 open loop and CONTEG B2 / C4 closed loop have 5 fans. An
expansion board (IE2) is necessary to control them in couples.
The fans of upper couple (couple A) will have the same speed SP_A.
The same is for the lower couple (couple B) with speed SP_B.
The fan in the middle will have its own speed SP_C.

The fan speed control depends on the temperature probes TIA, TIB, TRA and TRB
as shown in the following paragraphs.
The temperatures TIA and TRA manage the fan couple A. If the TIA probe is
absent, the fan couple A will not run.
The temperatures TIB and TRB manage the fan couple B. If the TIB probe is
absent, the fan couple B will not run.
The fan couple C will run at:
SP_C = (SP_A * (100 - M28)) + SP_B * M28) /100

Fan speed is different only when the unit is provided with EC fans. AC fans are all
controlled by the same phase-cut output so they rotate at the same speed.

In general the speed of all AC fan is the highest between SP_A and SP_B.

COOLING MODE WITH WATER VALVE ON-OFF
In this configuration, water valve is connected to relay R8. Control of capacity is therefore ON-
OFF, not modulated.

Parameters:
S01 COOLING SET POINT (cool set point - CS): pre-set = 25°C
S03 COOLING BAND: (B): pre-set = 5°C

if max(TIA,TIB) rises above S01+S03 => R8 ON

if max(TIA,TIB) returns below S01 =>R8 OFF

COOLING MODE WITH MODULATION OF CAPACITY

Parameters:
S13 COOLING MODE: pre-set = FAN
S14 DIFFERENTIAL COOLING MODE: pre-set = NONE
S15 COEFFICIENT CONTROL 0=STAND. 100=DELTA: pre-set = 0
S17 FAN SPEED IN WATER VALVE MODE: pre-set = 50%

The cooling mode can be managed by the modulation of fan speed or by the modulation of water
valve opening. Either fan speed or water valve opening depends on the combination of different
way of control. In the following table possible control combinations are shown.

S13 S14 TEMPERATURE CONTROL DESCRIPTION

FAN NONE Temperature is controlled modulating fan speed according to TIA and TIB (FI
logic).
Valve is open at 100% unless max(TIA, TIB)< (S01 - S05). If so, valve is
closed.
VALVE NONE Temperature is controlled modulating valve opening according to TIA and
TIB (VI logic). Fan speed is S17.

FAN DELTA_T Temperature is controlled modulating fan speed and it is the weighted
average between two different managements.
FI logic is based on TIA and TIB.
FD logic is based on temperature differential (TRA, TRB, TIA, TIB).
The final result is RES = (FI*(100-S15) + FD*S15) / 100
If the FAN control fails ---> RES = FI
If the DELTA_T control fails ---> RES = FD
Valve is open at 100% unless max(TIA, TIB)< (S01 - S05). If so, valve is
closed.
VALVE DELTA_T Temperature is controlled modulating valve opening and it is the weighted
average between two different managements.
VI is based on TIA and TIB.
VD is based on temperature differential (TRA, TRB, TIA, TIB)
The final result is RES = (VI*(100-S15) + VD*S15) / (100)
If the VALVE control fails ---> RES = VI
If the DELTA_T control fails ---> RES = VD
Fan speed is S17.

When the hot spot mode is active the maximum fan speed is M20. The status of the hot spot
mode depends on the internal relative humidity. When humidity is too high, hot spot mode is
disabled to allow fan speed reduction for dehumidification.

The hot spot mode is OFF at

T-OFF= HS – [50% HB]= 80 – [50% * 40]= 60%
T-OFF= S02 – [50% * S04]

The hot spot mode is ON at

T-ON= HS – [100% HB]= 80 – [100% * 40]= 40%

7.9 Alarms
Each alarm has a corresponding message on the display. Alarm messages are displayed on
LCD alternatively (few seconds) with the standard display.
Press ESC button for more than 5 seconds to reset the alarm with manual reset.
In the fourth line of the LCD display, “EMERGENCY” will appear when an alarm is active and the
machine is blocked. This doesn’t mean that the emergency control is enabled.

Alarms are summarized in the table below, which contains the following details:
ENABLE: condition to enable the alarm
DISABLE: condition to disable the alarm
DELAY: some alarms are delayed for a time adjustable with the specified parameter
RESET: kind of reset, automatic or manual
OUT: alarms can be addressed to a dedicated digital output and / or grouped in “Common
warning” and “Common alarm” setting the specified parameter. The “common warning” can be
connected to any relay by parameter I58. The “common alarm” can be connected to any relay by
parameter I59. Both “common warning” and “common alarm” aren’t displayed.

NOTES:
* All temperature and humidity alarms are delayed of M24 hours from C2020 power on.
** C2020 checks the number of fans indicated by M25 FAN CONFIGURATION FOR SBX
BOARD: pre-set and by M26 FAN CONFIGURATION FOR IE2 BOARD
This alarm works only with EC fans. Every EC fan has its own tachometric signal as a
feedback to C2020. When the analogue output to the fan is > M21 but the tachometric signal
is absent for more than 1 minute, the alarm appears.
*** “Request opening door” is a warning which appears when a door opening signal goes to
C2020 trough digital input A1, but ambient humidity is too high, so there is a risk of water
condensation on cold heat exchangers.

ALARM ACTION
Internal humidity probe broken (IRH) No function tied to IRH will be used
Internal temperature point A probe broken Opening valve at 100% and fan speed at 100%, if also
(TIA) TIB is broken
Internal temperature point B probe broken Opening valve at 100% and fan speed at 100%, if also
(TIB) TIA is broken
External temperature probe broken (TAE) No action
Water flow (WF) The pump speed will be the last calculated one

When a probe, connected to one of the seven analog channel, is broken, the correspondent alarm
will be on.
Each analog channel can be connected to a different type of sensor, so the action of the alarm
depends on the sensor (TBD).

When the alarm is on, its description and the sensor connected are displayed on the screen, for
example:

This message indicates that there’s a broken probe alarm in IC1 channel which is connected to
the internal relative humidity probe (IRH).
On the second line and on the third one of the screen the description of the alarm is displayed.
On the fourth line of the screen the probe connected is displayed.
It’s possible to connect the alarms to a relay and/or to associate them to “common warning” or
“common alarm” relay by I47, I48, I49, I50, I51, I52 and I53.
The reset is automatic.

MANUAL CONTROL
It allows controlling manually the devices of the unit, overriding the automatic control, but keeping
software functions for protection, to guarantee safety and integrity of all components.
It’s possible to get a manual control even if the unit is OFF.
To carry out the manual control you have to enter “MANUAL CONTROL” menu from “SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE” menu. Maintenance password 0111 is required.

Page 71 of 94
To scroll the submenus use UP/DOWN ARROW keys.
To enter every submenu press SET key. After that the status of the control can be modified
pressing UP/DOWN ARROW keys. To come back there are two ways:

Press the SET key: in this way the new status is stored
Press the ESC key: in this way the new status isn’t stored

Following a description of every function:

ON/OFF MANAGEMENT : in this menu it’s possible to switch off the unit for a fixed time of 30
minutes. After 30 minutes the unit will switch on automatically.
Once inside this menu, to switch off the machinery, it’s necessary typing the right password and
pressing the SET key. The following screen will appear:

where “xx” is a countdown to automatic restart of the unit. Pressing the ON key it’s possible to
switch on the unit before time is over.

COOLING in this menu it’s possible to control the status of cooling mode. Temperature control
rules are bypassed, fans are forced to their max speed and the valve is forced to its
maximum opening.
ON: FANS = max speed, Valve= max opening (UP key)
OFF: the cooling has an automatic control (DOWN key)

FANx SPEED: this is the speed of fan x which can be controlled by this menu
INC: to increase the value use the UP key
DEC: to decrease the value use the DOWN key

VALVE OPENING: this is the opening of the water valve which can be controlled by this menu
INC: to increase the value use the UP key
DEC: to decrease the value use the DOWN key

TIMER: this is a parameter indicating how long it’s possible to stay under manual control. The
following screen is displayed:

When time is over, all manual controls will be switched off and automatic control of the unit will
be restored. This time can be set from 0 to 255 minutes.

Page 72 of 94
 Timer is preset at 1 minute. After that automatic control is restored. Before starting
manual control, it is recommended to increase this parameter as much as
necessary to complete the test on the unit. If it is required to go out of manual
control before set time elapses, restore the modified parameter of manual control
to the original value. For instance: if manual control is on cooling, restore OFF on
the corresponding parameter to return to automatic control. If fan speed has been
forced to 30%, restore value to 0%.

7.13 Remote monitoring

It is possible using only one serial port at time: or connector PRG or connector SLAVE.

PEMS PROTOCOL (PE)

Involved parameters:

M01 REMOTE ASSISTANCE ADDRESS: pre-set = 1;

M02 SERIAL PROTOCOL 0=PE, 1=ST, 2=MB, 3=XYZ: pre-set = 0;
M03 PROTOCOL SLAVE CONNECTOR 0=PE 1=STULZ 2=MODB: pre-set = 0

It needs the serial 485 adapter ACTSERC1010 (IS485).

The default baudrate is 9600kbit/sec.

STULZ PROTOCOL
Involved parameters:

M01 REMOTE ASSISTANCE ADDRESS: pre-set = 1;

M02 SERIAL PROTOCOL 0=PE, 1=ST, 2=MB, 3=XYZ: pre-set = 0;
M03 PROTOCOL SLAVE CONNECTOR 0=PE 1=STULZ 2=MODB: pre-set = 0

To allow the connection of a C2020 controller to the RS485 serial line, the serial 485 adapter
ACTSERC1010 (IS485) is required.

The C2020 controller can communicate (through the RS485 serial port) with Stulz TeleCompTrol
software installed on host computer which displays the setup parameters, the controller states
and alarms.
The parameter M02 selects which protocol manages the communication:
In case of STULZ PROTOCOL it must be = 1. The baudrate is 9600kbit/sec.
The parameter M03 sets the protocol for the connector SLAVE of the board, in case of STULZ
PROTOCOL it must be =1.

In the system (see figure below) there is a gateway (MIB) which manages the communication
according to the STULZ protocol specifications.

There are 3 kinds of connection in this system:

• The connection between the RS485 serial port (named PRG) of two different C2020
controllers;

Page 73 of 94
• The connection between the PRG port of the C2020 controller to the MIB gateway;
• The connection between the RS232 serial port of gateway to the RS232 serial port of the
host computer.

MODBUS PROTOCOL
Involved parameters:

M01 REMOTE ASSISTANCE ADDRESS: pre-set = 1;

M02 SERIAL PROTOCOL 0=PE, 1=ST, 2=MB, 3=XYZ: pre-set = 0;
M03 PROTOCOL SLAVE CONNECTOR 0=PE 1=STULZ 2=MODB: pre-set = 0

To allow the connection of a C2020 controller to the RS485 serial line, the serial 485 adapter
ACTSERC1010 (IS485) is required.

The C2020 controller can communicate (through the RS485 serial port) with the software
installed on host computer which displays the setup parameters, the controller states and alarms.
The parameter M02 selects which protocol manages the communication:
In case of MODBUS PROTOCOL it must be = 2. The baudrate is 9600kbit/sec.
The parameter M03 set the protocol for the connector SLAVE of the board, in case of STULZ
PROTOCOL it must be = 2.
In the system (see figure below) there is no gateway managing the communication.

Thus, there will be 2 kinds of connection in this system:

The connection between the RS485 serial port (named PRG) of two C2020 controllers;

8. Maintenance
8.1 Safety instructions
Installation and intervention on air conditioners must be made in full compliance with specific
national regulations for accident prevention, with particular reference on electrical and refrigerant
equipment. Failure to comply with these regulations might be dangerous to people and
environment.
Before any intervention on the unit, refer to instructions on this manual, check data on the name-
plate and take any other precaution in order to guarantee optimal safety.

Maintenance operations must be made by authorized and skilled personnel.

Safety procedures
Cut of the power supply to the unit before making any maintenance operation. A
“DO NOT SWITCH ON” warning sign must be clearly visible. ON-OFF key on C2020
display (if present) is only used to put the unit is stand-by. It must not be
considered as a safety device to switch off the unit before maintenance.
Live electrical components have to be switched to de-energized and checked to
ensure that they are in the de-energized state.
Some verification must be effected with the unit in operation (measuring current,
pressures and temperatures). In such a case, the unit must only be switched on at
the master switch after all mechanical connections have been carried out. The unit
must be switched off immediately after the measuring procedure.
The electrical box might be hot.

Very little routine maintenance is necessary to keep the unit in reliable operating order and
protect its moving parts. This maintenance, however, must be performed at the prescribed
maintenance intervals. Failure to perform due maintenance both decreases the working life and
efficiency of the unit and also invalidates guarantee coverage.

8.2 Preventive maintenance program

Every month
• WATER CIRCUIT: check tightness of the circuit.

Every 3 months
• AIR FILTERS (only in open loop models): check the condition of the filters and replace them
if necessary (dirty filter alarm). When you decide to replace the filter the new filter must have
a filter element with the same thickness and density as the original filter. Sets of spare filters
can be ordered from the STULZ service department.
• HEAT EXCHANGERS: check that the heat exchangers are efficient and not clogged or dirty.
• CONDENSATE DRAIN: check that the condensate drain system is perfectly clean and
efficient.

Page 76 of 94
Every year
• FANS: check that fans do not show signs of overheating or abnormal vibrations and that they
are free to rotate. Also check the remote condenser.
• ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT: check that electrical connections are tight, that switches, remote
control switches and isolating switches are operating and in good condition. Also check that
the control card operates and perform a test of alarm signals.
• MECHANICAL PARTS: clean the inner components of the system.

If air conditioner works in particularly dirty environment or if experience shows that

a more frequent maintenance is needed, this must be made as necessary.

8.3 Air circuit

Heat exchanger
Heat exchanger consists of copper tubes with aluminum fins. Particles of internal and external air
passing through the filter might nest between the fins, reducing heat transmission efficiency and
increasing air flow resistance. The latter shows when the fan current increases.
For cleaning, proceed as follows: blow compressed air through the heat exchanger in the
direction opposite the direction of air flow during normal operation.

Do not distort the fins while cleaning - this also increases the air resistance.

Fan
The bearings of the fans are lifetime lubricated and do not need maintenance. Check the
operation current. An increased operation current indicates either a higher air resistance by a
clogged pre-filter or a winding short circuit in the fan motor.
Fan is automatically controlled with variable speed. To make measurements at nominal speed,
use manual control.

Air filters (only in open loop units)

A differential pressure switch monitors air intake filters. As soon as pressure loss exceeds an
adjustable value, a dirty filter alarm is enabled by the electronic controller. In this case, filter
replacement is necessary. To pull it out, proceed as follows:
CONTEG open loop units have 3 filters. Each filter is
fixed to the unit rear frame with a retaining bracket.

Filter

Page 77 of 94
 Loosen the fixing screws at the sides of the
brackets. Push the bracket up and extract it.
Then the filter can be removed.

Spare filters must have filtering medium with the same thickness and
density as the original one. A set of spare filters can be ordered at CONTEG
sales dept.

8.4 Water circuit

Check visually tightness of water circuit. In addition, a level indicator in the water tank (if
present), can be useful to see changes of water quantity. Water going out of water circuit
is replaced by air, which reduces cooling capacity of the unit and might damage
circulation pump.

8.5 General appliance cleaning procedures

Never use caustic or acid substances to clean any part of the conditioner.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Inner parts must be cleaned with a liquid detergent and air at a pressure not higher
than 4 bar and with the unit suitably connected to ground.
Check also that water pipes are firm: eventual vibrations might cause leakages.
Finally, check pipe insulation.

9. Uninstalling the unit
This unit must be uninstalled by specialized and authorized persons.
Cut off power supply. Switch off power conducting cables to the unit and secure them against
being switched on again. Disconnect the A/C unit from the de-energized network.

Disconnect the unit from external water circuit, closing water valves and emptying hydraulic
circuit of the unit.

If either glycol or similar additives have been used, also this mixture must be
collected and disposed in a suitable way avoiding to pour it into the sewer.

Move the unit as described in paragraph “lifting and transport”, with a lifting device of suitable
capacity.

Dispose of the unit in accordance with the disposal and safety regulations applicable on site. We
recommend a recycling company for this. Basically, the unit contains the following raw materials:
aluminum (heat exchanger and condensate tray), copper (heat exchanger, water collector and
electrical cables), zinc plated iron and steel (panels and metallic frame), rubber (water pipes).
