EWYD 4Z
MultiPurpose Units
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: Even when the main circuit breaker or isolator is switched off, certain circuits may
still be energized, since they may be connected to a separate power source.
RISK OF BURNS: Electrical currents cause components to get hot either temporarily or permanently. Handle
power cable, electrical cables and conduits, terminal box covers and motor frames with great care.
ATTENTION: In accordance with the operating conditions the fans can be cleaned periodically. A fan can start at
any time, even if the unit has been shut down.
The emergency stop causes all motors to stop, but does not switch off power to the unit. Do not service or
operate on the unit without having switched off the main switch.
Do not operate on a faulty fan before the main switch has been shut off. Overtemperature protection is autoreset, therefore a fan may restart automatically if temperature conditions allow it.
Direct intervention on the power supply can cause electrocution, burns or even death. This action must be
performed only by trained persons.
1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 General
Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be hazardous if certain factors particular to the installation are not
considered: operating pressures, presence of electrical components and voltages and the installation site (elevated plinths
and built-up up structures). Only properly qualified installation engineers and highly qualified installers and technicians,
fully trained for the product, are authorized to install and start-up the equipment safely.
During all servicing operations, all instructions and recommendations, which appear in the installation and service
instructions for the product, as well as on tags and labels fixed to the equipment and components and accompanying parts
supplied separately, must be read, understood and followed.
Apply all standard safety codes and practices.
Wear safety glasses and gloves.
Use the proper tools to move heavy objects. Move units carefully and set them down gently.
1.2 Avoid electrocution
Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) recommendations may be
permitted access to electrical components. It is particularly recommended that all sources of electricity to the unit be shut
off before any work is begun. Shut off main power supply at the main circuit breaker or isolator.
IMPORTANT: This equipment uses and emits electromagnetic signals. Tests have shown that the equipment
conforms to all applicable codes with respect to electromagnetic compatibility.
1.3 Safety Devices
Each unit is equipped with safety devices of three different kinds:
Microtech® III is a system for controlling single or dual-circuit air/water-cooled liquid chillers. Microtech® III controls
compressor start-up necessary to maintain the desired heat exchanger leaving water temperature. In each unit mode it
controls the operation of the condensers to maintain the proper condensation process in each circuit.
Safety devices are constantly monitored by Microtech® III to ensure their safe operation. Microtech® III also gives access
to a Test routine covering all inputs and outputs. All Microtech® III controls can work in accordance with three independent
modes:
Local mode: the unit is controlled by commands from the user interface.
Remote mode: the unit is controlled by remote contacts (volt-free contacts).
Network mode: the unit is controlled by commands from a BAS system. In this case, a data communication cable
is used to connect the unit to the BAS.
When the Microtech® III system operates autonomously (Local or Remote mode) it retains all of its own control capabilities
but does not offer any of the features of the Network mode. In this case monitoring of the unit operational data is still
allowed.
2.2 Abbreviations used
In this manual, the refrigeration circuits are called circuit #1 and circuit #2. The compressor in circuit #1 is labelled Cmp1.
The other in circuit #2 is labelled Cmp2. The following abbreviations are used:

3 USING THE CONTROLLER
The control system consists of a unit controller (UC) equipped with a set of extension modules that implement additional
features. All boards communicate via an internal peripheral bus with the UC. The Microtech III continuously manages the
information received from the various pressure and temperature probes installed on the compressors and communicated
to the unit .The UC incorporates a program that controls the unit.
The standard HMI consists of an inbuilt display (A) with 3 buttons (B) and a push’n’roll control (C).
The keypad/display (A) consists of a 5-line by 22 character display. The function of the three buttons (B) is described
below:
The push’n’roll command (C) is used to scroll between the different menu pages, settings and data available on the HMI
for the active password level. Rotating the wheel allows to navigate between lines on a screen (page) and to increase and
decrease changeable values when editing. Pushing the wheel acts as an Enter Button and will jump from a link to the next
set of parameters.
3.1 General Recommendation
Before switching on the unit read the following recommendations:
When all the operations and all the settings have been carried out, close all the switchbox panels
The switchbox panels can only be opened by trained personnel
When the UC requires to be accessed frequently the installation of a remote interface is strongly recommended
Evaporator, compressors and related inverters are protected from freezing by electrical heaters. These heaters
are supplied through unit main supply and temperature controlled by thermostat or by the unit controller. Also the
LCD display of the unit controller may be damaged by extremely low temperatures. For this reason, it is strongly
recommended to never power off the unit during winter, especially in cold climates.
3.2 Navigating
When power is applied to the control circuit, the controller screen will be active and display the Home screen, which can
also be accessed by pressing the Menu Button. The navigating wheel is the only navigating device necessary, although
the MENU, ALARM, and BACK buttons can provide shortcuts as explained previously.
An example of the HMI screens is shown in the following picture.
A bell ringing in the top right corner will indicate an active alarm. If the bell doesn’t move it means that the alarm has been
acknowledged but not cleared because the alarm condition hasn’t been removed. A LED will also indicate where the alarm
is located between the unit or circuits.
The active item is highlighted in contrast, in this example the item highlighted in Main Menu is a link to another page. By
pressing the push’n’roll, the HMI will jump to a different page. In this case the HMI will jump to the Enter Password page.

3.3 Passwords
The HMI structure is based on access levels that means that each password will disclose all the settings and parameters
allowed to that password level. Basic informations about the status including the active alarm list, active setpoint and
controlled water temperature can be accessed without the need to enter the password. The user UC handles two level of
passwords:
The following information will cover all data and settings accessible with the maintenance password. User
password will disclose a subset of the settings explained in chapter Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata..
In the Enter Password screen, the line with the password field will be highlighted to indicate that the field on the right can
be changed. This represents a setpoint for the controller. Pressing the push’n’roll the individual field will be highlighted to
allow an easy introduction of the numeric password. By changing all fields, the 4 digits password will be entered and, if
correct, the additional settings available with that password level will be disclosed.
The password will time out after 10 minutes and is cancelled if a new password is entered or the control powers down.
Entering an invalid password has the same effect as continuing without a password.
Once a valid password has been entered, the controller allows further changes and access without requiring the user to
enter a password until either the password timer expires or a different password is entered. The default value for this
password timer is 10 minutes. It is changeable from 3 to 30 minutes via the Timer Settings menu in the Extended Menus.
3.4 Editing
The Editing Mode is entered by pressing the navigation wheel while the cursor is pointing to a line containing an editable
field. Once in the edit mode pressing the wheel again causes the editable field to be highlighted. Turning the wheel
clockwise while the editable field is highlighted causes the value to be increased. Turning the wheel counter-clockwise
while the editable field is highlighted causes the value to be decreased. The faster the wheel is turned, the faster the value
is increased or decreased. Pressing the wheel again cause the new value to be saved and the keypad/display to leave the
edit mode and return to the navigation mode.
A parameter with an “R” is read only; it is giving a value or description of a condition. An “R/W indicates a read and/or write
opportunity; a value can be read or changed (providing the proper password has been entered).
3.5 Basic Control System Diagnostic
MicroTech III controller, extension modules and communication modules are equipped with two status LED (BSP and BUS)
to indicate the operational status of the devices. The BUS LED indicates the status of the communication with the controller.
The meaning of the two status LED is indicated below.

Description
Cool
Set if only chilled water temperature up to 4°C is required. No glycol is generally needed in the water circuit, unless
ambient temperature may reach low values.
Cool w/Glycol
Set if only chilled water temperature below 4°C is required. This operation requires proper glycol/water mixture in
the evaporator water circuit.
Cool/Ice
w/Glycol
Set in case only a dual cool/ice mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double setpoint which is
activated through a customer supplied switch, according to the following logic:
Switch OFF: The chiller will work in cooling mode with the Cool LWT 1 being as the Active Setpoint.
Switch ON: The chiller will work in ice mode with the Ice LWT as the Active Setpoint.
Ice w/Glycol
Set if only ice storage is required. The application requires the compressors to operate at full load until the ice bank
is completed, and then to stop for at least 12 hours. In this mode the compressor(s) will not operate at part load,
but will work only in on/off mode.
MultiPurpose
Set in case a contemporary cool/heat mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double functioning,
with the Cool LWT 1 as the cooling Active Setpoint and
with the Heat LWT 1 as the heating Active Setpoint.
MultiPurpose
w/Glycol
Set in case a contemporary cool/heat mode is required. This setting implies an operation with double functioning,
with the Cool LWT 1 as the cooling Active Setpoint and
with the Heat LWT 1 as the heating Active Setpoint.
MultiPurpose/Ice

Parameter
Description
Low Press Hold
Set the minimum refrigerant pressure of the unit. It is generally recommended to set to a value whose saturated
temperature is 8 to 10°C below the minimum active setpoint. This will allow a safe operation and a proper control
of compressor suction superheat.
Low Press Unload
Set lower than the hold threshold enough to allow a suction pressure recovery from fast transients without
unloading the compressor. A 20 kPa differential is generally appropriate for most applications.
Evap Water Frz
Stops the unit in case the leaving temperature falls below a given threshold. To allow a safe operation of the
chiller, this setting must be adequate to the minimum temperature allowed by the mixture water/glycol present in
the evaporator water circuit.
Cond Water Frz
Stops the unit in case the leaving temperature falls below a given threshold. To allow a safe operation of the
chiller, this setting must be adequate to the minimum temperature allowed by the mixture water/glycol present in
the condenser water circuit.
When glycol is used in the plant, always disconnect antifreeze electric heater.
The above setpoints are activated according to Operating mode, Double Setpoint or Scheduler selection. If the Time
Scheduler is enabled the Double Setpoint input state will be ignored by the controller.
The table below lists the LWT Setpoint being activated according to the operation mode, the double setpoint switch status
and the scheduler state. The table also reports the defaults and the range allowed for each setpoint.

If glycol is present in the water circuits, factory defaults values for the Alarm Limits listed below must be adjusted:
4.1.6 Power Conservation
4.1.6.1 Demand Limit
Demand limit function allows the unit to be limited to a specified maximum load. Capacity limit level is defined with an
external 4-20 mA signal and linear relationship. 4 mA indicate maximum capacity available whereas 20 mA indicates
minimum capacity available.
With demand limit function is not possible shutdown the unit but only unload it until minimum admissible capacity. Demand
limit related setpoints available through this menu are listed in the table below.

4.1.6.2 Current Limit (Optional)
Current limit function allows to control unit power consumption taking current drawn below a specific limit. Starting from
the Current Limit Setpoint defined through the HMI or BAS communication, user can decrease the real limit using an
external 4-20mA signal as indicate in the graph below. With 20 mA real current limit is set to Current Limit Setpoint, whereas
with 4 mA signal the unit is unloaded until minimum capacity.

4.1.6.3 Setpoint Reset
The setpoint reset function overrides the water temperature setpoints selected through the interface, when certain
circumstances occur. This feature helps in reducing energy consumption optimizing comfort as well. Three different control
strategies can be selected:
Setpoint Reset by Outside Air Temperature (OAT)
Setpoint Reset by an external signal (4-20mA)
Setpoint Reset by Evaporator ΔT (Return)
The following setpoints are available through this menu:
4.1.6.4 Setpoint Reset by OAT Reset
The active setpoint is calculated applying a correction which is a function of ambient temperature (OAT). As temperature
drops below the Start Reset OAT (SROAT), Cool LWT setpoint is gradually increased until OAT reaches the Max Reset
OAT value (MROAT). Beyond this value, the Cool LWT setpoint is increased by the Max Reset (MR) value. As temperature
grow over the Start Reset OAT (SROAT), Heat LWT setpoint is gradually reduced until OAT reaches the Max Reset OAT
value (MROAT). Above this value, the Heat LWT setpoint is decreased by the Max Reset (MR) value.

The Return Reset may affect negatively the chiller operation when operated with variable flow. Avoid to use this
strategy in case of inverter water flow control.
The Quiet Mode may affect negatively chiller efficiency due to the increased condenser setpoint

4.1.6.5 Setpoint Reset by External 4-20 mA Signal
The active setpoint is calculated applying a correction based on an external 4-20mA signal. 4 mA corresponds to 0°C
correction, while 20 mA corresponds to a correction of the active setpoints as set in Max Reset (MR).
4.1.6.6 Setpoint Reset by Evaporator Return Temperature
The active cooling setpoint is calculated applying a correction that depends on the evaporator entering (return) water
temperature. The active heating setpoint is calculated applying a correction that depends on the condenser entering
(return) water temperature.
4.1.7 Date/Time
4.1.7.1 Date,Time and UTC Settings
Date, time and UTC settings are available in the HMI.
4.1.7.2 Quiet Mode Scheduling
The Quiet Mode can be used to reduce chiller noise in certain hours of the day when noise reduction is more important
than cooling operation, like for example in night time. When Quiet Mode is activated, the LWT setpoint is increased by the
maximum setpoint reset (MR) described in the chapter “Setpoint Reset”, thus forcing a capacity limitation to the unit without
losing control on chilled water temperature. Also, condenser temperature target is increased by a value set in “QM Cond
Offset”. In this way condenser fans are forced to reduce speed without losing control on condensation. Quiet mode is timer
enabled.
4.1.8 Scheduler
Unit On/Off can be managed automatically through the function Time Scheduler enabled when the parameter Unit Enable
is set to Scheduler Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.. For each day of the week user can define six time
slots and choose for each time slot one of following mode:
4.2 Unit/Circuit Start-up
