3.3 POSITIONING
Read the following points carefully when choosing the most suitable site for the unit and its connections:
- dimensions and connection point of hydraulic pipelines;
- location of the electrical power connection point;
- accessibility for maintenance and repair work;
- loading capacity and compactness of the supporting surface;
- ventilation of air-cooled condenser;
- orientation and exposure to sunlight; as far as possible the condenser coil should not be exposed to direct sunlight;
- direction of prevailing winds: do not position the unit in such a way that prevailing winds can give rise to air recirculation at the condenser coil;
- type of support surface: to limit the risk of overheating, do not install the unit on a dark coloured surface (e.g.bitumen roofing membranes and compounds);
- possible sound reverberation.
All models in the ZETA 2002 series are designed for exterior installation (patios, gardens, etc.): of undesirable air recirculation, these units must not be covered by a shelter roof or located under trees (even if the unit is only partially covered). It is advisable to make a supporting plinth of dimensions commensurate with the footprint of the unit. This precaution is indispensable if the unit is to be located on unstable ground (various types of terrain, gardens, etc.). to avoid the risks of undesirable air recirculation, these units must not be covered by a shelter roof or located under trees (even if the unit is only partially covered). It is advisable to make a supporting plinth of dimensions commensurate with the footprint of the unit. This precaution is indispensable if the unit is to be located on unstable ground.
The unit transmits a low level of vibration to the supporting structure: we recommend interposing a layer of rigid rubber sheeting between the base of the unit and the supporting surface. If a higher level of vibration damping is required, use anti-vibration mounts (contact Bluebox for details).
The units should not be installed next to offices, bedrooms, or other areas where low noise levels are a necessity. To avoid excess sound reverberation do not install the units in narrow or confined spaces.

4.3 WATER PIPING CONNECTIONS
Unit water pipework must be installed in accordance with national and local regulation and codes. Follow the recommendations below when designing the water piping circuit (refer to the diagrams included in this manual).
- Piping should be connected to the unit with flexible joints, to avoid vibration transmission and allow for thermal expansion (the same procedure should be adopted for the circulating pumps).
- The following devices should be located on the piping system:
- isolating/regulating valves, temperature gauges or thermometer pockets, pressure gauges or binder points required for servicing operations.
- Serviceable mesh strainer, with a filtration level no larger than 1mm, located on the unit inlet to prevent debris from entering the heat exchangers.
- vent valves, to be installed in the upper parts of the circuit, for air bleeding.
- expansion device with accessories for circuit pressurisation, water thermal expansion compensation and system filling.

For models from 3.2 to 13.2 it is mandatory to install a flow switch (supplied with the unit) on the evaporator water outlet connection identified by the following decal:
For models from 14.4 to 26.4 the flow switch is already installed as part of the standard equipment.
USER WATER
Compressors start and stop often due to changes in cooling demand. In hydraulic circuits with low water volume, where the thermal inertia action is low, it is advisable to verify that the water volume equals or exceeds the following ratio:
24 · Q
COMPTOT
M>= ---------------------
N
where:
M = system water content [kg]
Q
COMPTOT
= unit cooling capacity [kW]
N = number of capacity steps
If the water volume does not reach the value given by the formula, it is advisable to provide the circuit with a storage vessel to increase the volume (tank + circuit) to match the result of the formula. The chilled water piping and storage vessel must be insulated to prevent condensation on the pipe surfaces and to avoid circuit performance losses.
A constant water flow to the evaporator must be guaranteed at all operating conditions to prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor and causing irreparable damage.
If incorrectly connected the antifreeze thermostat will not operate and the evaporator may freeze. The hydraulic connections are threaded. The type and size are indicated on the dimensional drawings at the end of this manual.
4.4 EVAPORATOR WATER PIPE CONNECTIONS
The water inlet and outlet must be connected in the positions indicated as labelled on the unit.

We strongly recommend installing a pressure relief valve on the hydraulic circuit. In the event of serious system breakdown or emergency (e.g. fire), the relief valve will make it possible to depressurise the system thus forestalling possible pipe bursts. Always connect the relief valve outlet to a pipe of diameter no smaller than the valve opening, and route it to a location in which persons are protected from the jet of expelled water.
All units are equipped with plate heat exchangers. It is compulsory to install a metallic filter, on the water inlet piping, with a mesh not larger than 1 mm. If a filter is not installed the warranty will be terminated immediately.

- The flow switch must be tightened on the “T” shaped metallic manifold by the plastic knurled union nut. Check that the arrow located on the upper side is pointing in the direction of flow.Be sure to fit the O-ring seal, through the brass manifold and the plastic ring nut. The O-ring seal is supplied in a plastic cover to protect the flow switch shaft.
- Connect the flow switch to the other end of the “T” manifold.
- Route the flow switch electrical cable through the hole in the unit structure and run it to the electrical panel by ascending the upright in the machine interior. Connect the flow switch to terminals 1-14 as indicated on the electrical drawing.
- The flow switch can be removed by screwing out the plastic knurled union nut. In order to reassemble it, ensure that the o-ring seal is positioned in the proper location. (See figure10).
On HP version units the hydraulic connection to the desuperheater must be isolated during heat pump operation
4.6 DESUPERHEATER HYDRAULIC CONNECTION (optional)
For all units equipped with desuperheaters the connections, for the relative hydraulic circuit, are steel tubes with male threads. The water inlet and outlet must be connected in the positions indicated as labelled on the unit.

4.7 ZETA 2002/DC HEAT RECOVERY EXCHANGER HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
For all units equipped with a recovery condenser, the relative hydraulic circuit connections are male threaded steel pipes (the diameter depends on the unit's size) The units are equipped with a probe that monitors the temperature of the water returning from the system. The microprocessor controller enables recovery when necessary, disconnecting the fans, and restarting regular operation once the water has reached the desired temperature. If faults occur on the recovery condenser the microprocessor controller restarts the fans. The calibration values of the thermostat and pressure switches are given in the relevant controller instruction manual.
For units equipped with a recovery condenser:
It is mandatory to install a three-way modulating, valve with water tem­perature probe, on the inlet to the unit to ensure that, at steady state conditions, the inlet water temperature is not less than 20 °C.

4.8 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
Pressure relief valves are fitted on the high pressure side and low pressure side of the refrigerant circuit. The valves must be vented, to outdoors, through a vent pipe. The vent pipe must be sized no smaller than the relief valve and it must not be supported from the valve.
This method ensures that the recovery unit is supplied with a flow that increases as the water temperature rises, thus allowing the system to operating with optimum functional parameters at all times.

4.9.1 Procedures to follow when sizing refrigerant lines
Depending on the relative position of the sections, there are certain procedures to follow when installing the refrigerant line.
4.9 CONNECTIONS FOR VERSION /LE (MOTOCONDENSING UNIT)
/LE (condensing unit) versions must be connected to a remote evaporator by means of refrigerant lines. For separate section type /LE versions, the route followed by refrigerant lines depends on the location of the sections and the characteristics of the surrounding building structure. Pipe runs should be as short as possible to limit the pressure drop and the refrigerant charge volume. The maximum permissible pipeline length is 30 metres. If this limits cannot be adhered to contact Blue Box for further information.
4.9.2 Evaporating section at lower level than condensing section:
a) The vertical riser must be equipped with siphons at least every 6 metres to facilitate the return of oil to the
compressor; b) Make a collection pit on the suction line downstream of the thermostatic valve bulb; c) Horizontal sections of the suction line should follow a grade of at least 1% to facilitate oil return to the
compressor (see above).

4.9.3 Evaporating section positioned higher than the condensing unit section:
a) Form a siphon on the suction line,at the same height as the evaporator, to avoid drainage of liquid towards the
compressor when the unit is stopped.
b) Make a collection pit on the suction line, downstream from the thermostatic valve bulb, for the collection of
liquid refrigerant that can accumulate during unit shutdown. When the compressor restarts the refrigerant will evaporate rapidly: it is advisable to create the accumulation pit well away from the bulb to avoid the risk of affecting the operation of the thermostatic valve.
c) Horizontal sections of the suction line should follow a grade of at least 1% to facilitate oil return to the
compressor.

4.10 WATER FLOW RATE TO EVAPORATOR
The nominal water flow rate is based on a 5 °C temperature difference between inlet and outlet in relation to the supplied cooling capacity.
The maximum permissible flow rate is that which results in a temperature difference of 3 °C: higher flow rates will lead to excessive pressure drops and could damage the evaporator.
The minimum permissible flow rate is that which results in a temperature difference of 8 °C or a pressure drop of no less than 10 kPa: lower flow rates will lead to excessively low evaporation temperatures with consequent tripping of safety devices and shutdown of the unit.
4.11 CHILLER WATER TEMPERATURE (summer cycle)
For the minimum water temperature at the evaporator outlet refer to section 4.14. The maximum water temperature at the evaporator inlet is 20 °C. In the case of higher temperatures specific solutions are necessary (dual circuits, three-way valves, by-pass, storage tanks): consult the Bluebox Engineering Department to discuss the most suitable solution for your application.
4.12 HOT WATER TEMPERATURE (winter cycle)
The minimum water temperature at the condenser inlet, once the system is operating in steady state conditions, must be no lower than 23 °C: lower values could result in operating anomalies of the compressor with the consequent risk of compressor breakdown. The maximum water temperature at the condenser outlet must be no higher than 48 °C. In the event of higher temperatures the safety devices will trip causing the unit to shut down.
Warning: speed control calibration settings must not be altered. If it proves necessary to alter speed calibration settings, this task must be entrusted to a skilled engineer, who should refer to the attached instruction sheet.
4.13 Ambient air temperature
- The units are designed and built to operate with ambient air temperatures within the limits shown on the
operating limits diagrams. Contact Bluebox if the unit is required to operate at different ambient temperatures.
- It should be noted that the performance of heat pump units decreases significantly at lower ambient temperatures.
- The units can be optionally equipped with an electric element for heating the evaporator. The heater cuts in,
when the machine is switched off, if the water temperature in the evaporator falls below the freeze protection calibration temperature.
4.14 FAN SPEED CONTROL (optional)
If the unit is required to operate at ambient air temperatures less than 18 °C a fan speed controller must be included. With fan speed control the unit can function correctly, at low ambient temperatures, by reducing the air flow supplied to the condenser so that it operates within acceptable parameters. This control is calibrated and tested in the factory.
Page 54
Blue Box - 48
With temperatures lower than those shown in the operating limit diagrams, the hydraulic circuit should be filled with a suitable water and antifreeze solution. In such cases the service thermostat and the freeze protection thermostat must be reset:
These calibrations are normally set in the factory. The ethylene glycol percentage must be selected in relation to the required chilled water temperature.
See Table 2.
Units from the normal production range are not designed to operate with lower chilled water temperatures, at the evaporator outlet, than those indicated in the operating limit diagrams. To operate outside this limit the unit may require structural modifications. If this should become necessary Bluebox.

Electrical connections must be made in accordance with the information given on the electrical drawing attached to the unit and in compliance with the applicable local regulations.
An Earth (ground) connection is compulsory. The installer must connect the earth cable with a dedicated terminal on the earth bar in the electrical board (refer to the illustration on the following page) labelled PE.
It must be verified that the electrical supply corresponds to the unit electrical nominal data (tension, phases, frequency) indicated on the label on the front panel of the unit.
Line voltage fluctuations must not be more than ±5% of the nominal value, while the voltage unbalance between one phase and another must not exceed 2%. If these tolerances are not possible contact Blue Box to provide the necessary devices.
Check that the line is connected with the correct phase sequence. The cable inlet point is created by drilling a hole in the side or base of the electrical enclosure, depending on the
model. The control circuit is derived from the power supply through a transformer located inside the electrical panel. The control circuit is protected by fuses.
4.16 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.16.1 General
Before any operation on the electrical section, be sure that the electric supply is disconnected.
Power cable and line protection must be sized according to the specification indicated on the wiring diagram and the documents supplied with the unit.
The electrical supply must be within the limits shown. If this is not the case the warranty will be terminated immediately.
Electrical cable anchorage: anchor the electrical power cables with fixing systems able to withstand pulling and torsional stress.
The crankcase heaters must be connected at least 12 hours before starting the unit; the heaters are automatically connected when the main disconnect switch is set to the ON position.

Chillers in the ZETA 2002 series with 4 scroll compressors, models from 14.4 to 26.4, are equipped with the pCO2 microprocessor controller.
4.16.5 Circulating pump electrical connections
The external interlocks of unit must close for the unit to operate. The normally open external water circulating pump contactor terminals must be wired in series with terminals 1 and 2, on the unit control panel, to ensure that the chiller can only start after the pump is in operation. In ST units external enabling contacts 1-2 must be jumpered (unless they are required for system functions).
Turn on the pump before the unit starts and stop it after the unit has stopped (recommended time delay: 60 sec.).
4.16.3 Potential free contacts
The following potential free contacts are available:
- 1 potential free contact for general alarm (terminals 100 - 101 - 102)
- 1 potential free contact for each compressor (option)
- 1 contact for each pair of fans (option)
- 1 contact for each pump (option - ST models)
4.16.4 Flow switch electrical connections
Flow switch electrical connections (see paragraph 4.4 ) must be connected to terminal 1-14 for chiller units.
4.16.2 Power supply to crankcase heaters
1) Close the main disconnect switch by turning it from position “0” to position “1”
2) Check that the word “OFF” is shown on the display
3) Ensure that the unit is in “OFF” status and that the external enabling contact is open
4) After a few moments, if the phase sequence is incorrect the alarm “INCORRECT PHASE SEQUENCE” will be displayed (4-compressor models from 14.4 to 26.4 only, with pCO2 controller). In this case invert the connections of two of the power line phase wires.
5) Leave the unit in this condition for at least 12 hours to allow the crankcase heaters to perform their function

5.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
- Check that the electrical connections have been made correctly, and that all terminals are well tightened.
- Check that the voltage on the RST terminals is 400 V ± 5% (or the unit’s rated value, in the event of units supplied to run on non-standard power supplies). If the mains voltage is subject to frequent fluctuations, consult our Engineering Department to discuss the necessary protection systems.
- Check that the display shows the gas pressure in the refrigerant circuit (4-compressor models only).
- Inspect the unit for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector if necessary.
- Check that the crankcase heaters are correctly supplied with power.
- Verify that heaters are working correctly: after the warm up period the crankcase must be warm to the touch and must have at least a temperature 10 - 15 °C higher than ambient temperature.
- Check that all hydraulic connections are correctly installed and all indications on unit labels are observed.
- Check that the hydraulic system has been vent to eliminate any air remaining; charge it gradually and open the vent devices on the upper part, provided at the care of the installer together with an expansion tank of a proper size.
The heaters must be connected at least 12 hours before starting the unit; the heaters are automatically connected when the main disconnect switch is set to the ON position.
Significant leakage of R407C refrigerant in the gaseous state will alter the percentages of the remaining mixture with consequent fall-off of performance.
Warning: before starting up the unit check that all the closing panels are in position and secured with the relative screws.

6 UNIT WITH m CHILLER MICROPROCESSOR (models from 3.2 to 13.2)
6.1 INTRODUCTION
“µchiller” is an electronic microprocessor system designed to control all the unit’s functions. The terminal is equipped with five LEDs indicating the operating status of the machine (summer/winter), the compressor status (On/Off) and indication of the compressors/pump hour counter after the first 100 hours of operation. An internal beeper (which can be inhibited by means of a microswitch or a parameter) sounds to warn of machine operating anomalies.
6.1.1 Display
The display comprises three digits with automatic display of the decimal point. During normal operation the display shows the value of the evaporator inlet water temperature. “µchiller” can be connected to a computer, by means of an optional electronic board, making available remote supervision and telediagnostic services for complete management, supervision and diagnostics of the systems from a remote location.
6.1.2 Machine status information
Machine status information is shown by five LEDs on the remote control display (figure 14).
6.1.3 Keypad
The keypad allows machine operating parameters to be programmed. The wall-mounted version features an extended number of keys to facilitate use. The function of each key is illustrated on the following pages.

Pressing the keys marked with an up or down arrow allows you to scroll through the parameters. The SEL key is pressed again to display the value of the selected parameter, with the facility to edit the value if required using the Up or Down keys. The PRG key is pressed to store changed values and to stop the procedure, while pressing the SEL key returns you to the parameter selection menu. If no keys are pressed, in an interval of 10 seconds, during parameter editing the display starts flashing. If no keys have been pressed within 60 seconds, after activating the programming procedure, the controller will return to the temperature display without saving any changes that have been made. This procedure is useful if it proves unnecessary to alter any parameters.

6.1.11 Defrosting (heat pump mode only)
During winter heat pump mode operation the finned coil of the air cooled condenser functions as an evaporator, cooling and dehumidifying ambient air. During heat pump operation, the evaporation pressure is monitored to prevent it from falling below a preset value. The evaporation control is active only during heating mode operation. Depending on the ambient air temperature and humidity conditions, condensate or frost will tend to form, consequently obstructing the free passage of air and causing thermal insulation. The frost that builds up on the coil obstructs the passage of air and reduces the available heat exchange surface area (and thus the thermal efficiency) and can damage the heat exchanger. Defrosting is the procedure that eliminates the ice that has formed on the evaporator coil during heat pump mode operation of an air/water unit. Defrosting is performed simultaneously for the entire unit. All heat pump versions are equipped with a control that activates an automatic coil defrost cycle when necessary. After starting however, the first defrost cycle will be started after a preset minimum operating time to allow the formation of sufficient thermal inertia to allow the cycle to be completed successfully. Defrost cycle activation is based on the detection of a low suction pressure value due to insufficient heat exchange between the evaporator and the air due to the formation of a layer of ice, which exerts a thermal insulation effect. For a defrost cycle to be able to start a suction pressure of at least one of the currently operating compressors must remain below the pressure set for the defrost cycle trip signal for a preset time interval. Before starting to defrost the coils, all the compressors are started, after which the unit reverses its operation from heat pump to chiller mode. When the cycle is reversed the fans stop and the compressors force hot gas into the coil. A pressure switch on the high pressure circuit maintains the discharge gas pressure below the defrost end value. To maintain the pressure lower than the defrost end pressure the pressure switch activates the fans. To reduce the air flow and obtain more efficient heating of the outer part of the coil, the pressure switch signal causes the fans to rotate in reverse. When the defrost end temperature is reached, as measured by a thermostat with a probe located in the lower part of the coil, the pressure switch allows the discharge pressure to reach the defrost end pressure. When the defrost end pressure has been reached, the controller reverses the unit from chiller mode to heat pump mode, thereby terminating the defrost procedure. Even though in certain conditions the surface temperature of the coil and the condensation pressure fail to reach the defrost values within the preset time limit, the defrost cycle is forcibly terminated as though the defrost end signal were present. The controller restarts the fans, and when the pressure lowers again to the preset value, it reverses the unit’s operating mode again. If the defrost cycle is forcibly interrupted, with the timeout signal, a message is displayed on the controller, although no controller functions are activated. The defrost timeout alarm is automatically cleared from the active alarms menus when a defrost cycle terminates

If the unit fails to start: do not change internal electrical connections on penalty of immediate invalidation of the warranty.
Warning: The operating mode changeover should only be seasonal. Frequent changeover from summer to winter operating mode and vice­versa could cause damage to the compressors.
Electronic components of the microprocessor may be damaged at temperatures below - 20 °C.
During idle periods do not disconnect the unit from the power supply (the compressor crankcase heaters must remain switched on). Disconnect the unit from the power supply only in the event of prolonged disuse (e.g. seasonal shutdowns). For temporary shutdown of the unit refer to the guide lines given in the specific headings of this manual.
normally because the defrost end pressure has been reached. In any event, the alarms historical file will contain a record of all defrost cycles that were terminated forcibly due to a timeout intervention. Consecutive defrost cycles must be at least 30 minutes apart. If the forced defrost signal persists, inform the Service organisation.

- Press the button as shown in figure 24.
6.2.2 HEATING (operation in heat pump mode):
- Press the button as shown in figure 25.
6.3 STOPPING THE UNIT
6.3.1 Temporary stop
The unit is stopped by pressing the cooling key or, in the case of a heat pump unit operating in winter mode, by pressing the heating key.
Shutdown of unit operating in summer cooling mode
Shutdown of unit operating in winter heating mode
Warning: do not use the machine main power switch to stop the unit. The crankcase heaters will be disconnected, resulting in serious risk to the compressors when the unit is started again.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
The following pages contain a list of the most common causes that can result in the shutdown or anomalous operation of the chiller. Faults are arranged in accordance with easily identifiable symptoms.
In relation to possible corrective action pay maximum attention to the operations you intend to perform as overconfidence coupled with insufficient attention due to lack of expertise can lead to serious accidents. We therefore recommend that Blue Box or other skilled HVAC engineers are contacted to identify and correct the problem.
6.4 EMERGENCY STOP
Emergency stops are obtained by turning the red colour main disconnect switch on the electrical panel to position
0.
Warning: do not use the machine main power switch to stop the unit: this switch must be used to disconnect the electrical supply when no current is flowing on the circuit, i.e. only when the unit is in OFF status. Note also that if power is disconnected from the unit the crankcase heaters will be switched off with the resulting risk of compressor damage at the time of restarting.
6.3.2 Seasonal stop:
- Disconnect the power supply
- Drain the system circuit (unless it contains a water/glycol solution)
- When the unit is to be restarted repeat the initial start-up procedure

8 UNIT WITH pCO2 MICROPROCESSOR (models from 14.4 to 26.4)
8.1 INTRODUCTION
The pCO2 electronic microprocessor controller with the DBBB0*P20Z program is designed to manage chiller and heat pump units, with control of 4 compressors. The program configuration manages the total control of the air-cooled unit with plate exchangers including compressor start/stop times, safety devices and other auxiliary functions such as condensation control in cooling mode, free-cooling, heat recovery and other functions described later in this manual. The necessary hardware is optimised to obtain the maximum advantage from the available inputs and outputs; the connection between various circuit boards and the user interface terminal is achieved via the pLANE using the dedicated RS485 serial connector for network connections. Each unit can also be connected to remote supervision and/or telediagnostics systems by means of an RS485 serial line.
Detailed information on the operation of the above systems is provided in the specific controller manual supplied with the unit.

8.2 OPERATING DESCRIPTION
8.2.1 Introduction
The microprocessor control regulates the water temperature of the evaporator maintaining it at the set-point value acting on the compressors management. As well as the compressors the controller manages the operation of other components of the chiller such as the pumps (ST version) and fans, with relative operating times and alarms, and "ancillary" functions such as condensation control, etc., as described below.
Almost all the parameters referred to below (set-points, differentials, calibration, delays...) can be programmed by means of the various menus. Refer to the specific manual for the pCO2 controller.
8.2.2 Unit in stand-by mode
The unit is in stand-by mode when it is correctly supplied with power but not actually enabled to operate. In this condition the display shows the values of the various machine parameters, but the operation of the compressor is not inhibited. Power-on is obtained by pressing the “ON-OFF” button of the microprocessor control or via an external interlock.
8.2.3 Enabling the unit
Start-up of the unit from stand-by mode can be achieved after closing the external enabling contact, by pressing the “ON/OFF” button, or by means of a signal on the serial line. Activation of the controller outputs that manage the various sections of the chiller is executed in strict compliance with the operating times. If the “ON” button is pressed before the external interlocks are closed, the display indicates which of the external interlocks is not yet enabled. Operation of the pump has priority to the compressors, which can start only after the evaporator and condenser pumps are running.
8.2.4 Pump management (ST units only)
If system pump control is included switching on the unit will automatically enable the pump. If there are two pumps (run and stand-by) they will be activated alternately when the programmed operating time limit for each pump has elapsed. When the pumps are switched over both pumps will run in tandem, for a few seconds, to ensure a constant flow of water in the system circuit. When the unit is switched from active status to stand-by, if performed by opening an external permissive, the currently active pump of the ST unit will be stopped with a delay interval, after the disconnection of the last compressor in operation, making it possible to exploit the thermal inertia of the system.
8.2.5 Compressor start-up
The controller allows the compressors to be started if the flow switch input is closed within the compressor start­up delay time interval. If the flow switch input opens, after the compressor has started, the trip is retarded if it occurs within the time programmed for the compressor stop. If the unit trips due to the opening of the flow switch input, the relative alarm is displayed. Starting and stopping of the compressors and capacity step control is managed by the controller in accordance with the building cooling demands.
8.2.6 Chiller mode operation
In chiller operation, the controller lowers the water temperature value, maintaining it as close as possible to the programmed set-point.
Page 84
Models 14.4 - 26.4, pCO2 control
Blue Box - Page 78
In the standard version, in which the control acts on the evaporator entering water, the management of compressor operation and capacity steps is linked to the difference between the entering water temperature and the programmed set-point.
8.2.7 Heat pump mode operation
In heat pump operation, the controller increases the water temperature value, maintaining it as close as possible to the programmed set-point. Management of compressor operation is performed in the same way as already illustrated for chiller mode operation.
8.2.8 Evaporator low temperature chilled water protection
If the evaporator leaving water temperature is lower than the limit value programmed in the low temperature chilled water protection set-point, the controller will stop all the compressors and activate the low temperature water alarm. This alarm must be reset manually and the compressor restarted only when the evaporator leaving water tempe­rature is equal to or higher than the alarm trip value, increased by the low temperature water differential. The low temperature water alarm can only appear when the unit is switched on (in stand-by conditions the freeze alarm is not operational).
8.2.9 Evaporator anti-freeze protection electric heater (optional)
In conditions that lead to tripping the freeze alarm, the controller energises the heater. The heater remains powered for the entire time that the conditions for the freeze alarm continue. Unlike the low water temperature alarm, which is enabled only when the unit is powered on, the anti-freeze heater can be energised when the machine is on stand-by.
8.2.10 Compressor operation
When the unit is running correctly and no general alarms are present, the microprocessor controller starts the compressors in accordance with the water temperature reading. Compressor starts are staggered in accordance with preset delay intervals, thus avoiding excess input current surges. Before starting a compressor, the microprocessor checks the value of the delivery pressure by means of the relevant transducer, the status of the high pressure switch and the compressor motor windings temperature by checking the thermal protection.
When the compressor has been started, tripping of any of the safety devices will cause the compressor to stop immediately and an alarm will be displayed. While the compressor is running, discharge pressure and suction pressure are monitored constantly by means of the relevant sensors.
On unit start-up the first compressor is started with a delay, set on the microprocessor controller, after the start of the hydraulic system circulating pump. Once started, each compressor must run for a minimum operating period, unless a critical alarm should trip in the meantime. The critical alarms which can stop the compressor during the minimum operating time are the high pressure alarm and the compressor thermal cut-out alarm. Once stopped each compressor can be restarted only after a minimum idle time or after a minimum time interval between two consecutive starts has elapsed. The consecutive starting of two compressors or the consecutive starting of one compressor, is executed with minimum delay intervals equal to the capacity step activation time. Stopping compressors is also performed with a minimum programmed delay interval.
Page 85
Models 14.4 - 26.4, pCO2 control
Blue Box - Page 79
8.2.11 Compressor management
Start-up of the compressors is automatic when the reference water temperature changes with respect to the programmed set-point. Normally the reference water temperature is the value detected at the inlet to the chiller unit. Balancing of duty hours over all the compressors in the unit is performed by selecting the rotation of starts. With the rotation function of starts active, the first compressor to start is the first one that previously stopped. The first compressor to start will be the one with the least operating hours.
8.2.12 High and low pressure alarms
Discharge pressure (high pressure) and suction pressure (low pressure) are managed by the microprocessor controller through the relevant sensors. When a compressor is running, the controller checks that:
- Discharge pressure is always lower than the safety value set for cooling or heating mode operation. If the values are exceeded, the controller immediately stops the compressor and displays a high pressure alarm. The high pressure alarm can be reset manually on the controller only when the pressure detected by the discharge pressure sensor is lower than the value that caused the alarm to trip, less the differential value.
- The suction pressure is always higher than the safety value set for operation in cooling or heating mode. If the value read by the suction pressure sensor is lower than the limits set for the relative operating conditions, the controller will stop the compressor and generate a low pressure alarm. The low pressure alarm is not instantaneous, but operates after a preset delay interval, both in the starting phase and during the normal running of the machine. The low pressure alarm can be reset automatically or manually, depending on the relative parameter setting. In all cases the low pressure alarm can only be reset when the pressure detected by the suction sensor is higher than the value that caused the alarm to trip, plus the differential value. It is possible to program the number of permissible consecutive compressor starts before the unit shuts down in safety status.
8.2.13 Low ambient temperature kit (option - condensing control with fan speed regulator)
As the ambient air temperature decreases the necessary condensing pressure for correct operation of the chiller cycle is maintained, within the machine operating range, by adjusting the cooling air flow through the condenser. Condensing pressure control is only active when the machine is operating in chiller mode. When the unit is operating in heat pump mode this function is inhibited and the fans are forced to their maximum speed. The controller checks the condensing pressure and adjusts fan speed on the basis of the circuit with the highest pressure reading. The speed regulator adjusts fan speed with a phase control system that minimises problems related to electromagnetic compatibility. Speed control is available over a 40-100% range. At the time of start-up the fans always run at 40% nominal speed.
8.2.14 Changeover from chiller to heat pump and vice versa
The changeover from chiller to heat pump and back can be performed at any time, either by means of an external signal on a digital input, from the keypad, or via the serial line. The operating mode changeover must be only seasonal and only with the unit off. After a mode changeover, the controller re-starts the unit in the new mode with a factory set minimum delay time. The unit operates with temperature control on the inlet to which has been inactive for the longest time. the unit (or return from the system).
8.2.15 Defrosting (heat pump units only)
Page 86
Models 14.4 - 26.4, pCO2 control
Blue Box - Page 80
During winter heat pump mode operation the finned coil of the air cooled condenser functions as an evaporator, cooling and dehumidifying ambient air. During heat pump operation, the evaporation pressure is monitored to prevent it from falling below a preset value. The evaporation control is active only during heating mode operation. Depending on the ambient air temperature and humidity conditions, condensate or frost will tend to form, consequently obstructing the free passage of air and causing thermal insulation. The frost that builds up on the coil obstructs the passage of air and reduces the available heat exchange surface area (and thus the thermal efficiency) and can damage the heat exchanger. Defrosting is the procedure that eliminates the ice that has formed on the evaporator coil during heat pump mode operation of an air/water unit. Defrosting is performed simultaneously for the entire unit. All heat pump versions are equipped with a control that activates an automatic coil defrost cycle when necessary. After starting however, the first defrost cycle will be started after a preset minimum operating time to allow the formation of sufficient thermal inertia to allow the cycle to be completed successfully. Defrost cycle activation is based on the detection of a low suction pressure value due to insufficient heat exchange between the evaporator and the air due to the formation of a layer of ice, which exerts a thermal insulation effect. For a defrost cycle to be able to start a suction pressure of at least one of the currently operating compressors must remain below the pressure set for the defrost cycle trip signal for a preset time interval.
Before starting to defrost the coils, all the compressors are started, after which the unit reverses its operation from heat pump to chiller mode. When the cycle is reversed the fans stop and the compressors force hot gas into the coil. A pressure switch on the high pressure circuit maintains the discharge gas pressure below the defrost end value. To maintain the pressure lower than the defrost end pressure the pressure switch activates the fans. To reduce the air flow and obtain more efficient heating of the outer part of the coil, the pressure switch signal causes the fans to rotate in reverse. When the defrost end temperature is reached, as measured by a thermostat with a probe located in the lower part of the coil, the pressure switch allows the discharge pressure to reach the defrost end pressure. When the defrost end pressure has been reached, the controller reverses the unit from chiller mode to heat pump mode, thereby terminating the defrost procedure. Even though in certain conditions the surface temperature of the coil and the condensation pressure fail to reach the defrost values within the preset time limit, the defrost cycle is forcibly terminated as though the defrost end signal were present. The controller restarts the fans, and when the pressure lowers again to the preset value, it reverses the unit’s operating mode again. If the defrost cycle is forcibly interrupted, with the timeout signal, a message is displayed on the controller, although no controller functions are activated. The defrost timeout alarm is automatically cleared from the active alarms menus when a defrost cycle terminates normally because the defrost end pressure has been reached. In any event, the alarms historical file will contain a record of all defrost cycles that were terminated forcibly due to a timeout intervention. Consecutive defrost cycles must be at least 30 minutes apart. If the forced defrost signal persists, inform the Service organisation.
8.2.16 Total heat recovery (option)
Heat recovery is the function where all the energy that would normally be rejected to the air cooled condenser is recovered at a refrigerant to water condenser installed in series with the air-cooled condenser. The heat recovery process is managed by the microprocessor controller. During energy recovery the fans are stopped and the condensing coil is by-passed via solenoid valves connected downstream of the thermostat valve. The machine is equipped with a liquid receiver. Heat recovery can only occur when the water temperature at the recovery exchanger inlet is lower than the recovery set-point. Heat recovery is terminated when the temperature increases by the recovery differential value. It is mandatory to use a condensing pressure control valve (one for each hydraulic circuit) or three-way valve, fitted by the installer, to avoid condensation values that are incompatible with operation of the machine.
8.2.17 Dual set-point (option)
Page 87
Models 14.4 - 26.4, pCO2 control
Blue Box - Page 81
Operation with a dual set-point is possible only in chiller mode. With double thermostatic valves and solenoid valves that are automatically switched according to the required expansion temperature. Two set-point values can be programmed on the microprocessor controller via the keypad or a digital input. Switching of the thermostatic valves is always automatic, in accordance with the water tempe­rature. The valves are sized on the basis of the temperature values specified at the time of the order. The machine operating limits shown in the catalogue are not affected. If the hydraulic circuit contains glycol in sufficient quantities to eliminate the risk of freezing, the lower limit is extended to a minimum of -5 °C leaving water temperature.
8.2.18 Operation leaving water temperature control (option)
With leaving chilled water temperature control the reference sensor must be installed on the evaporator outlet or, if there is more than one evaporator, on the common outlet pipeline downstream from the relative manifold. The unit’s capacity steps are activated / deactivated with delay intervals in relation to a dead zone. When the leaving water temperature is higher than the programmed set-point compressors start is enabled.
Page 88
Models 14.4 - 26.4, pCO2 control
Blue Box - Page 82
Important: on heat pump versions the operating cycle must be reversed at the start and end of the season. Frequent switching from summer to winter mode, and vice versa, should be avoided at all costs because it can lead to malfunctions and subsequent breakdown of the compressors.
Figure 29
If the unit fails to start: do not change internal electrical connections on penalty of immediate invalidation of the warranty.
8.3 STARTING THE UNIT
For the start-up procedure refer also to the microprocessor controller manual.
- Close the external enabling contacts
- Press the "ON" button on the microprocessor controller
- If all the controls are enabled the display will show the message "UNIT ON"
After having performed the above procedures the unit will start automatically after a delay of approximately 5 minutes, assuming that the enabling signals of the microprocessor, the flow switches, and the water pumps continue to be present.
During idle periods do not disconnect the unit from the power supply (the compressor crankcase heaters must remain switched on in these intervals). Disconnect the unit from the power supply only in the event of prolonged disuse (e.g. seasonal shutdowns). For temporary shutdown of the unit refer to the guide lines given in paragraph 8.4.
8.4 STOPPING THE UNIT
8.4.1 Temporary stop:
- To stop the unit press the "OFF" button on the front panel.
8.4.2 Seasonal stop:
- Disconnect the power supply
- Drain the system circuit (unless it contains a water/glycol solution)
- When the unit is to be restarted repeat the initial start-up procedure
Warning: do not use the machine main power switch to stop the unit: this switch must be used to disconnect the electrical supply when no current is flowing on the circuit, i.e. only when the unit is in OFF status. Note also that if power is disconnected from the unit, the crankcase heaters will be switched off with the resulting risk of compressor damage at the time of restarting.

Emergency stops are obtained by turning the red colour main disconnect switch on the electrical panel to position 0.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
The following pages contain a list of the most common causes that can result in the shutdown or anomalous operation of the chiller. Faults are arranged in accordance with easily identifiable symptoms.
In relation to possible corrective action, adopt the maximum attention in the operations you intend to perform as overconfidence coupled with insufficient attention due to lack of expertise can lead to serious accidents. We therefore recommend that Blue Box or other skilled HVAC engineers are contacted to identify and correct the problem.

10 CHECKS DURING OPERATION
10.1 INTRODUCTION
- Check that the water temperature at the evaporator inlet is close to the set-point value of the service thermostat.
- For units equipped with pump units, if the pump runs noisily, close the relative delivery cock until the pump starts running smoothly again. This situation can occur when system pressure drops deviate significantly from the pump available pressure.
10.1.1 Checking the refrigerant charge
- After a few hours of unit operation check that the sight glass moisture indicator has a green coloured core. if the core is yellow, moisture is present in the circuit. In such a situation the circuit must be dehydrated by a qualified technician.
- Check the sight glass for air bubbles. A constant passage of bubbles through the sight glass could indicate that the refrigerant must be replenished. Occasional bubbles are considered normal.
- Check that refrigerant liquid superheating is between 5 and 7 °C; to do this:
1) measure the temperature using a contact thermometer placed on the compressor suction pipeline;
2) read the temperature, equivalent to the pressure read on the pressure gauge connected to the compressor suction side (saturation temperature corresponding to suction pressure); for units charged with R407C refrigerant, refer to the D.P. (Dew Point) pressure gauge scale.
The difference between the temperatures measured in this manner is equivalent to the superheating value.
- Check that refrigerant subcooling is between 5 and 7 °C; to do this:
1) measure the temperature using a contact thermometer placed on the compressor discharge pipeline;
2) read the temperature, equivalent to the pressure read on the pressure gauge connected to the liquid connection at the condenser outlet (saturation temperature corresponding to condenser delivery pressure); for units charged with R407C refrigerant, refer to the B.P. (Bubble Point) pressure gauge scale.
The difference between the temperature values measured in this manner is equivalent to the subcooling value.

11. CALIBRATION OF CONTROL EQUIPMENT
11.1 INTRODUCTION
All the control equipment is factory calibrated before the machine is shipped. Control equipment and safety devices should nonetheless be checked after a reasonable period of operation. Calibration values are given in Tables 3 and 4.
All service operations on the control equipment must be carried out by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY; incorrect calibration values can cause serious damage to the unit and personal injury.

12. MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC CHECKS
12. 1 WARNINGS
Adopt the maximum caution when working in the vicinity of the finned coils because of the sharp edges of the aluminium fins.
After performing maintenance work always refit the outer panels and secure them with the screws.
All operations described in this chapter MUST BE PERFORMED EXCLUSIVELY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Make sure that the unit has been disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any work or accessing internal parts.
The compressor head and discharge pipeline can reach high temperatures. Always exert caution when working in the vicinity of the compressor.
12.2 INTRODUCTION
Carry out the following periodic checks to ensure the unit is operating correctly:
CHECK PERIOD Check that safety and control devices work correctly as previously described monthly Check that all the terminals within the electric panel and compressor are tight The sliding terminals of the contactors should be periodically cleaned: if any damage is found, replace the contactors
monthly
Check the sight glass to verify the refrigerant charge. monthly Check that there is no oil leakage from the compressor monthly Check that there is no water leakage in the hydraulic system monthly If the unit is to be stopped for a long period the hydraulic circuit, including all pipes and heat exchangers, should be drained. This is compulsory if the ambient temperature is expected to fall below the freezing point of the liquid employed.
seasonal
operation
Check process water levels monthly Check that the flow switch is operating correctly. monthly Check that the crankcase heater is operating correctly and there is a power supply. monthly Clean metallic filters on water piping monthly Clean the finned coil or the filter coils, if present, by means of compressed air, which should be directed in the opposite direction to the normal direction of air flow. If the coil is completely clogged clean with a jet of water.
monthly
Execute a defrost test (heat pump units only) monthly Check the condition, anchorage, and balancing of fans every 4 months Check the colour of the sight glass core (green = no moisture, yellow = moisture present): if it is yellow change the refrigerant filter
every 4 months
Check that the noise level has not increased. every 4 months

12.3 REPAIRING THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
If repairs have been made to the refrigerant circuit, perform the following steps:
- leak test;
- vacuum and dehydration of refrigerant circuit;
- refrigerant charge.
If the circuit is to be emptied, use the appropriate equipment to collect the refrigerant.
12.3.1 Leak test
Charge the refrigerant circuit to a pressure of 15 bar with dry nitrogen gas by means of a cylinder fitted with a pressure reducer. Check the circuit for leaks with a leak detector. The formation of bubbles or foam indicates the presence of leaks. If leaks are found during the test, empty the refrigerant circuit and then repair the point of leakage by welding with appropriate alloys.
Do not use oxygen instead of nitrogen: explosion hazard.
12.3.2 High vacuum and dehydration of the refrigerant circuit
To generate a high vacuum in the refrigerant circuit use a high vacuum pump able to reach 0.1 mbar of absolute pressure with a flow rate of 10 m3/h. With this type of pump, a single vacuum cycle is normally sufficient to reach an absolute pressure of 0.1 mbar. If this type of pump is not available, or in the event that the circuit has been left open for a long period of time, you are strongly advised to use the triple evacuation method. This procedure is also prescribed in the event of moisture in the refrigerant circuit.
Connect the vacuum pump to the charge connector. Proceed as follows:
- Evacuate the circuit to a pressure of at least 35 mbar absolute. Charge the circuit with nitrogen to a relative pressure of approx. 1 bar.
- Repeat the operation described above.
- Repeat the operation described above for the third time in order to reach the highest degree of vacuum possible.
This procedure should guarantee the elimination of up to 99% of contaminants.
