Sleep mode

This screen displays the setback function, which can be either activated or deactivated by using the control panel or BMS. This function consists of an automatic start-up of the standby unit if the unit exceeds the following programmable limits for at least 30 seconds:

• Minimum temperature• Maximum temperature• Minimum relative humidity (only with optional humidity sensor)• Maximum relative humidity (only with optional humidity sensor)

The setback function intervenes to control the room conditions—although with larger tolerances— even if the whole system is in stand-by. Its intervention is independent and not influenced by signals from remote systems. The intervention of the setback function is not considered an alarm situation.

Fan Cyclical Start: If set to Y, the fan runs in cycles, defined by the cycle time, to allow air from the room to be drawn across the sensor.

When in setback mode, in the STATUS screen the symbol is displayed. Normal operating conditions are reset automatically when the temperature values return to values set for [temp. min. + 2°C] + 3.6°F and for [max. temp. - 2°C] - 3.6°F. A minimum of 15 minutes must pass before the unit exits the setback mode. This enables stable conditions to be reached and avoids continuous switching on and off of the fans.

When normal conditions return, the icon is displayed, alternating with other icons depending on the previous status.

Message receipt result

The control board at regular two minute intervals downloads all newly received SMS messages. If the message is correct, the control activates its processing every 15 seconds without incoming or outgoing calls.

If the message is not correct in the syntax or in the password, it is deleted.

During the time necessary for processing the correct messages (about 7 seconds), the incoming calls are inhibited and re-enabled at the end of processing each message.

If during the downloading phase of the new SMS messages the memory reserved to SMS receipt becomes full, all received messages will be lost. If so, remaining alarms remain active.

The possible causes of a full memory are:

• Receipt of three or more messages with the maximum length (11 variables setting) within two minutes

• Receipt of seven or more short messages (a variable setting) within two minutes.

LAN settings

The pCO controller can be enabled for the automatic management of a Local Network connected to more than one unit (up to a maximum ten), of which some are in operation and others in stand-by (up to a maximum two units). In the default configuration this is set to “NO LAN”. A single unit can operate temporarily if the address of the board is equal to one.

This screen states:

• Number of units in the Local Network has to be set (up to a maximum ten units)• Start-up of the stand-by unit in the event of malfunctions on a unit connected in the LAN• Rotation time to allow the workload to be shared between the units at programable time intervals

(by setting cycle time = h 000, the controller runs a test, rotating the units at two-minute intervals)• Possibility of having one or two units in standby• Possibility to start the stand-by unit only in the event of alarms (the rotation time is disabled)

The next screen, displayed only if the Local Network is set, gives the possibility to control unit operation with a mean temperature measured in the room or with the “local” value measured by the sensor inside the unit:

• “Local Values” mode: unit control of the temperature and humidity values are read by the sensors in the unit

• “Mean Values” mode: Unit control of the temperature and humidity values are read by the sensors in the active connected units in the Local Network.Whatever the difference between the mean value and the sensor reading exceeds the value “Mean/Loc.Diff.” (default equal to 2°C, 3.6°F), the control automatically exchanges from the “Mean” mode to the “Local” mode.

This screen is only available in the Twin-Cool model and is used to manage the settings for activating the changeover from mechanical cooling operation to operation with CW.

To avoid continuously alternating between the two operating modes, there is a minimum interval of 30 minutes between two consecutive activations of the cold water valve.

If the high room temperature limit is exceeded (default: 30 °C, 86 °F), the unit automatically switches from CW operation to DX operation, signaling the “High cold water temperature or valve fault” alarm.

This screen is only available in the Twin-cool model and is used to enable CW operation only if the alarm is activated in DX mode or via multifunction digital contact or by BMS.

This screen is used to set the type of control in CW mode:

• Room Temperature: Unit controls the return air temperature• Delivery Temperature: Unit controls the outlet air temperature

This screen is only available in the CW model and is used to establish the dehumidification settings on CW units and calibrate the high temperature alarm (only if the inlet water temperature probe is installed).

33Uniflair CW and DX Operation and Maintenance Manual

Page 40: Uniflair Manual

During the dehumidification phase, a special control function is activated, which acts as follows:

• The controller sends the chiller a request for water at a lower temperature to allow dehumidification; this is done by instantly activating digital output DO7.

• Temperature probe located on the CW inlet is read.• When the value read reaches the “setpoint” as set on the screen, the valve is opened to the

maximum position on the following screen.• If the “setpoint” is not reached, after 15 minutes an alarm is signalled (“CW too warm to

dehumidify”).The temperature probe on the CW inlet is also used to control the “High CW temp.” alarm, when the temperature exceeds the ‘High Temp.’ value set on the screen, signaling a possible fault on the chiller.

This screen is only available in the TC model and is used to enable the variation in the chiller cooling setpoint for dehumidification.

This screen is used to set the setpoint that triggers the switching between the two heating systems.

This screen concerns the behavior during the initial transients and is used to set:

• At Power On: Delay in restarting the unit after a power failure; this is used to prevent simultaneous starts in multiple installations (units in the LAN automatically feature a sequence start-up progressive [unit 1, unit 2, …] with 5 second intervals between one unit and the next)

• Regul. Transient: Period of time between when the unit starts and control commences (this is the initial period required for the control system to become stable; in this period the air flow switch reading is also ignored allowing the unit to start without the “No air flow” alarm being activated, particularly on units with motor-driven dampers)

• Fan Off Delay: Fan shutdown delayThis screen is used to set:

• T+H Al. Delay’: Delay in signaling room alarms when starting the unit and in normal operation

• Wrong Phases Sequence or Phase Loss: Minimum unit Off time if the alarm is activated

Updating the ProgramThe following systems can be used to update and acquire the firmware and the logs on the pCO controllers:

• Winload• SmartKey programming button

Winload

On all pCO system controllers the firmware can be updated using a PC. For this purpose, Schneider Electric SAS provides the WinLoad32.exe program and a serial converter with USB-RS485 output to connect to the pCO via the telephone connector. The special driver, supplied by Schneider Electric SAS, must be installed on the PC.

The WinLoad32.exe program is installed together with the pCO Manager program. The installation includes, in addition to WinLoad32.exe, the user manual and the driver for the USB-RS485 converter.

SmartKey

The SmartKey programming button can also be used to update the controller firmware, with the sole exception of the Boot, which is not loaded by the SmartKey. In addition, the key can clone the contents of a pCO and then copy these to another pCO that is identical to the first, via the telephone connector on the terminals (the pLAN must be disconnected). The key can also copy the data logged by a series of pCO devices to a PC.

On the PC, using the SmartKey Programmer, the key can be configured to run certain operations, such as acquire logs, program applications, and program the BIOS.

The following are some images showing examples of downloading the program to the pCO control board:

Inside the kit is a CD and a manual with step-by-step explanations of how to best use these accessories. The program files will be sent by e-mail or CD, indicating the name of the application.

AlarmsActive alarms

By pressing the ALARM button, the alarm will be silenced and a description of the alarm will be displayed. If the cause of the alarm has been eliminated, the last alarm message can be reset by pressing the ALARM button for several seconds (the red light on the button will turn off immediately). If the cause of the alarm has not been eliminated, the alarm buzzer will be activated again.

Alarm history

In order to be able to reconstruct the alarm history sequence, the microprocessor holds 100 alarm events in its memory. All of the set alarms can be read in series by entering the status screens by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons and choosing the “Alarm History” option (if there is a clock card). The time and date will also be recorded for each alarm event. The alarms activated when the counter threshold is exceeded are not recorded and therefore cannot be read.

Alarm events

All of the possible alarm messages that can be displayed on the user terminal are shown below. For active alarms (not recorded in the alarm history sequence), some possible suggestions will appear for solving the problem in the last two lines of the display:

• Incorrect Phase Sequence: The Scroll compressor must rotate in the correct direction, otherwise there will be a loss of efficiency. In single units with a three-phase power supply it is possible that the phase sequence of the network forces a rotational direction that is different to that which has been planned; in this case, as soon as the unit is connected to the power supply, the microprocessor immediately enters into an alarm state blocking any other type of operation.If this occurs, disconnect the power supply and invert the two phases of the power supply.

• Power Supply Return Signal: When the power supply is restored following a break in the power supply, the control records the screen, shown here in the alarm history sequence.

Page 50: Uniflair Manual

Unit function alarms

These are alarms connected to the unit components and which are caused by the intervention of a protection device:

Fan alarm: Activated by the differential air flow pressure switch (FS) and causes all of the devices to switch off – compressors, electrical heaters, humidifier, fans).

Activated by the differential high air flow (FSA): Causes all of the devices to switch off – compressors, electrical heaters, humidifier, and fans.

Activated by the differential dirty filter pressure switch (PFS): Only causes an alarm signal, without unit operation being affected (indicates that the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced).

Alarm signal activated by from the overheat switch (TSR): Causes the electrical heaters to switch off.

DX, ES, TC units only: Causes the compressors to switch off on the circuit indicated (1 or 2); check the refrigerant circuit and/or refrigerant charge and high pressure switch).

DX, ES, TC units only: Causes the compressors to switch off on the circuit indicated (1 or 2); check the refrigerant circuit and/or refrigerant charge and high pressure switch. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit).

CW units only: Activated by the CW flow switch which signals a lack of water within the hydraulic circuit).

Uniflair CW and DX Operation and Maintenance Manual44

Page 51: Uniflair Manual

CW units only (signal only): Activated by the CW temperature sensor when the setpoint value is not reached within 15 minutes of the dehumidification request.

CW units only (signal only): Activated by the CW temperature sensor when the high temperature limit is exceeded.

TC units only: Causes the changeover from CW operation to DX (it is also displayed when the ambient temperature sensor detects that the limit set has been exceeded for the first time.

Activated on a loss in communication between the UpCO1 control board and the UpCOE expansion board in the Twin-Cool Water-Cool model.

Activated when the controller cannot automatically detect the mains frequency.

Electronic expansion valve alarms (DX, TC, ES units only)

These alarms which are connected to the driver of the EVD400 electronic expansion valve, causing the compressor/s to switch off:

Activated when there is low evaporator pressure, or rather, when the LOP is lower than the threshold which has been set, for a period which is longer than the Alarms Delay LOP. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

Activated when there is excessive evaporator pressure, or rather, when the MOP is higher than the threshold which has been set, for a period longer than the Alarms Delay MOP. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

45Uniflair CW and DX Operation and Maintenance Manual

Page 52: Uniflair Manual

Activated following an error in the signal given by the low pressure transducer or a lack of working pressure caused by the compressors not being switched on.

Activated following an error in the signal given by the NTC low pressure temperature sensor for the superheating reading. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

Activated following an error in the EEPROM memory of the driver. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

Activated when there is low superheating, for a period which is longer than the Alarms Delay Low SH. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

Activated following an error in the LAN connection between the EVD400 driver and the pCO1 control board. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

Activated following a temperature measurement taken by the EVD400 sensor, which is higher than the threshold value set in the High SH. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

This is only displayed in the alarm history when the driver is without power for more than 5 seconds when the compressor is operating. This alarm also specifies the number of the circuit.

Sensor alarms

These are activated when there is a malfunction of the sensors, or they have been incorrectly connected to the main board:

Note: If one of these alarms is activated, check the exact configuration set, that the sensor is present, and that the connections have been made and are operating correctly.

Local Network

Overview• Several air conditioners installed in the same room connected in parallel in the same system can

be managed by connecting them to a local network. • The number of connected units depends on the program managing the network, stored in the Flash

Eprom memory.• Units in a network can be connected at a max. of 500 meters (1640 ft).• All the units connected to the network must have the same program version on the flash memory

on the board.• A terminal can be configured as “private” or “shared”:

– Private terminal shows the status of the single unit connected to it by a telephone cable.– Shared terminal shows the status of all the units connected to the network.

• Each board can “talk” to 3 terminals at the most; there are usually no more than two in normal operating conditions: one installed in the unit and one possibly in a remote location.

• To communicate on the local network, the units must be “configured” so that each of them can convey the information necessary to operate properly. To achieve this, the separate units must first be numbered progressively (1,2,3,...10) and then the various terminals and LAN boards correctly addressed to them. The electrical connections must also be made, step by step, as described in the following section.

Note: Alarm signals always have priority over the terminal, even if the parameters of another unit are being viewed when the alarm is triggered.

Page 63: Uniflair Manual

Common Network ConnectionsUp to 10 units connected to the network with a single terminal

In this configuration, should power fail in the first unit, the terminal would close down. It would therefore not be possible to read any information regarding the units in the network. However, the other units in the network would continue to operate normally.

Up to 10 units each with its own terminal

Up to 10 units with a single shared remote terminal

pCO Boards ConnectionsIn the figure below, a simple parallel connection is shown for more than one pCO boards of the pLAN network, using a shielded cable with two twisted pairs and a shield. The cable is connected to all of the boards through the J11 terminal respecting the indicated polarity.

Warning: Network polarity must be respected: the RX/TX+ of one board must be connected to the RX/TX+ of the other boards; the same applies to RX/TX- and the GND.

The shield should be connected to the ground on the first unit at a metal point using a screw and a washer and the length of the screen should be as short as possible.

The network can be configured differently depending on the maximum distance of the board and remote terminal connections; it may be necessary to use a ‘T’ shunt TCONN6J (as shown below) to connect the remote terminal to the main board.

If both of the pin-strip jumpers are between 2 and 3, the passage of the current is interrupted between the connectors that are separated by a dashed line. If power is needed to be supplied to all of the connectors, both of the jumpers must be between 1 and 2.

The 0 terminal is the support terminal, which can be used to connect the screen to the earth of the shielded cable; the “T” derivative may however be connected to a metallic part of the unit, already connected to the earth.

Maximum distances between the terminal and the board

For local terminals the connection with the base board is already made with a 3 pair cable with a 6 way telephone connector. The length of this cable should not be longer than 3 meters.

The remote terminals should be connected to the base board with a telephone cable such as that which has been described in point 1 for a distance of up to 50 meters. For connections of up to 6 meters the cable can be supplied, on request, by Schneider Electric.

For distances up to a maximum of 200 meters, a screened cable must be used (a twisted pair cable with a shield AWG24, resistance < 80ohm/M). The cable can be a three or two twisted pair depending on if it has to transfer power to the terminals.

LAN and Supervision ConnectionFor connection to both LAN and supervision networks, it is advisable to use a cable that has the following specifications:

• Multi-coupled cables with internal flexible conductors made from tin plated copper (AWG 22, insulated with polypropylene, singularly coupled, screened with aluminium/polyester tape + continuity wire in tin plated copper (AWG 24/7) connected on a common axis to reduce the diameter and protected by an external sheath in PVC.

Remote Terminal from the Board ConnectionIn this configuration example, it is necessary to:

• Use the two TCONN6J 'T' joints (one installed on the unit and one near the remote terminal).• Use a three pair screened cable for two, so that the remote terminal is also supplied by the board of

unit 1 to which it is connected by the TCONN6J.• Place the ferrite near the terminal in order to reduce the possibility of electromagnetic

disturbances.

Terminal and pCO Board Addressing the Local Network

Before carrying out the configuration of the addresses, it is advised that the LAN connection between the boards should be checked in addition to the connection with the remote (or shared terminal) and the electric supply connections of the unit. It is possible to configure the address of the terminal only after having connected it to the power supply by using the RJ11 telephone connector. To enter in configuration mode press the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons at the same time for at least 5 seconds (these buttons are present on all models); the screen shown below will be displayed with a flashing cursor in the left hand top corner:

• To modify the address of the terminal (display address settings), press the ENTER button once and the cursor will move to the address field (nn).

• By using the UP and DOWN buttons, select the desired value and press the ENTER button. If the selected value is different from that previously used, the screen below will appear and the new value will be recorded in the permanent memory of the display.

If “0” is entered as a value in the nn field, the terminal will communicate with the pCO board using the “point-point” protocol (not pLAN) and the field XX will disappear since it has no meaning.

Assigning the list of private and shared terminals (pCO)

If it is necessary to modify the list of terminals associate to each single pCO board, perform the following:

1. Enter in the configuration mode using the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons as described in the previous section.

2. Press the ENTER button until the cursor is positioned in the XX field (I/O board address). 3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to choose the address of the desired pCO board.

The values that can be selected will be only those of the pCO boards which are effectively on line. If the pLAN network is not working correctly, or if there are no pCO boards connected, it will not be possible to modify the field and only “—” will be shown.

Pressing the button again will display the sequence of screens.

The ENTER button moves the cursor from one field to another and the UP and DOWN buttons change the value of the chosen field.

The Pxx field: This shows the address of the selected board; in the example in the figure below, P01 has been selected. To exit from the configuration procedure and record the data, select the “OK?” field and set it to YES and then press the ENTER button.

Uniflair CW and DX Operation and Maintenance Manual62

Page 69: Uniflair Manual

The fields in the “Adr” column represent the addresses of the terminals associated with the pCO board, address 11 for the local terminal and 32 for the shared terminal, while the column Priv/Shared indicates the type of terminal.

Warning: The terminals of the UG40 line cannot be configured as “Sp” (shared printer) as they do not have a printer output.

Note: If the terminal remains inactive for more than 30 seconds (no button has been pressed) it exits automatically from the configuration procedure without recording any eventual changes.

Assigning the list of private and shared terminals

LAN Parameter ConfigurationAfter having carried out the configuration of the remote and shared user terminals, the operating parameters of the LAN network must be set. This must only be carried out on the unit with the address LAN1, because the information will automatically be passed on to the other units which are connected.

The parameters that need to be set are inside the connected units screen; some of the settings that need to be carried out are described below:

1. Set the number of units connected to the LAN network.2. Activate the automatic exchange of the unit in stand-by.3. Set the cycle time to carry out the rotation of the units; if the hour is

set at 000, a simple test will be carried out putting the units in rotation with an interval of 2 minutes.

4. Set the number of units in stand-by (max. 2).5. If the last line is set to “Yes,” it enables the stand-by unit to be switched on in the event of an

alarm. All of these settings are automatically passed on to the other connected units.The screen shown here is shown only if the local network has been configured, allowing management of the unit operation with the average temperature value measured from the active units connected in the local network or with the local value measured by the sensor present inside the unit.

• Method Local Value: Control of the unit is entrusted to the temperature values read by the sensor present on the air conditioner

• Method: Average Value: Control of the unit is entrusted to the average temperature read by the sensor present on the active units connected in the local network (if the difference between the average value and the sensor reading itself is more than the “Average/Loc.Diff.” value, the control will automatically move from “Average” to “Local”)

The “Exclude From Rotation” parameter enables excluding the unit from the rotation time management by working in Stand-alone mode. If required, this function must be enabled for individual unit. This setting is not passed on to the other units; it needs to be set individually on each unit.

Air pressure control configuration screen

If a series of units are connected in the LAN, the fan speed can be modulated based on a local probe reading or alternately by calculating the average reading of all the probes connected and configured for each active unit. This setting must be made in the LAN setting screens for each individual unit.

Displaying the Network from the TerminalFrom any terminal in the network, the screen << NetSTAT >> will appear when the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons are pressed at the same time for at least 10 seconds. The NetSTAT screen indicates all of the pCO boards with a LAN address and all of the terminals present in the network, including the remote shared terminal, and its relative addresses.

In the example, the result is that the network is composed of 3 LAN boards with the address 1,2,3 and of 4 user terminals with the address 11,12,13 and 32.

HumidifierThe only maintenance required is periodic inspection and cleaning of the steam humidifier components. This should be done at least once a year.

Note: Periodically inspect the feed and drain connections in order to guarantee trouble-free humidifier operation. Limescale deposits can affect humidifier performance. Periodically

check for limescale buildup and replace humidifier cylinder when necessary.

The frequency of this operation depends on the supply water: the higher the content of salts or impurities, the more frequently the cylinder will need cleaning. Before removing the cylinder for replacement or cleaning it is necessary to completely drain all of the water from the boiler.

To connect the CPY user terminal

1. Connect the CPY user terminal by following the substeps:a. Turn off the unit, then power it down.b. Using a #2 Phillips screw driver, remove the Controller Board Access panel.

c. Power up the unit and connect the CPY user terminal to the Humidifier Control Board port.2. Press UP and DOWN together for 2 seconds (the message ‘dr’ on the display alternating with

‘tot’ indicates the function has been activated).3. Press UP and DOWN again for 2 seconds to stop the drain cycle. The drain cycle in any case ends

automatically.If the CPY User terminal is not available, connect a jumper wire between terminals M11.3 and M8.1 of CPY board. Remove the jumper wire to stop the drain cycle.
