3. RISER / CABINET INSTALL ATION
A. CABINET PLACEMENT
Refer to Figure 2, which shows the correct location of the
cabinet in relation to the floor sleeve and risers.
Do not use the risers to lift or move cabinets.
Risers must not be used to lift cabinets. Risers are not
designed to support or lift any part of the cabinet. Risers are
attached using nylon ties to allow for slight adjustments during
installation, and expansion of riser column during operation.
Care must be taken during installation to avoid damage to
risers and riser stub-outs.
Improper handling and installation of risers could
damage riser stub-outs and valves could result in
property damage, death or serious injury.
Do not allow the risers to bottom out. Riser stub-out
should be centrally located with cabinet riser stubout opening. Do not allow riser stub outs or risers
to contact cabinet sheet metal.
Do not drag risers on floor while moving the
cabinet.
For orders where risers are shipped loose, riser installation
can be done first before installation of cabinets. During riser
installation ensure riser stub-outs will be centered in the
cabinet openings. Do not allow risers to bottom out in swage.
Where risers are shipped attached to cabinets, installation of
risers and cabinets is done at the same time without the need
to detach risers from cabinet.
1. Place the cabinet in a horizontal position on the floor
adjacent to its installation location (when risers are
attached to cabinet).
2. The units are designed to accommodate a maximum
supply and return riser stub-out movement of 1-1/2
inches, due to expansion and contraction (total movement
of 3 inches). If the total calculated riser expansion or
contraction exceeds 1-1/2 inches, field installed
expansion compensation must be provided.
The initial positioning of the riser stub-out is correct when
the top of the riser pipe is 3 inches above the t op of the
cabinet (applies to standard riser models only:
VBR/VMR/VBS)
3. If the installation requires the use of field or factory
provided riser extensions, install the extensions to the
unit-mounted risers prior to moving the cabinet i nto final
position.
4. Raise the cabinet upright and lower the ris ers t hrough the
floor cut-out, aligning the risers into the swaged section of
the unit on the floor below.
Take extra care not to scrape or dent risers during
positioning. The riser tailpiece should insert
approximately 2" into the 3" long swaged section of
the unit below.
To ensure correct riser positioning, and to
compensate for variations in floor-to-floor
dimensions, DO NOT allow the riser tailpiece to
bottom out into the swaged section.
5. Center the risers in the pipe chase, and level t he cabinet
using shims as necessary.
6. Plumb risers in two planes to assure proper unit operation
and condensate drainage.
7. Placing cabinets on vibration isolation pads is
recommended to reduce noise transmission into floor.
Anchor cabinets into place, using sheet metal angles.
Do not drill, or drive screws into the cabinet in the
area of the internal drain pan.
8. Center the risers’ horizontal stub-outs (complete with
factory-installed shut-off valves) in the cabinet slot
openings. Ensure that the stub-outs are perpendicular to
the side/back panel.
9. Verify all risers are vertical and that they penetrate the
swaged joint at least 1". Factory provided risers come
with a 3 inch deep swage. Do not allow risers to completely bottom out at 3 inches in the swage. The 3
inch swage depth is oversized t o allow for adjustments if
necessary to keep riser s tub-outs and valves centered in
the cabinet opening. Riser stub-out should be c entered in
cabinet opening to allow for expansion and contraction.
Riser stub-outs must not contact on any sheet metal
opening, otherwise damage can occur to stub-outs,
resulting in water leaks and property damage.
Correct Position of Stub-Out in Cabinet Riser Opening:
Incorrect Position of Stub-Out in Cabinet Riser Opening:
10. Braze or solder riser joints with industry accepted solder
or brazing rod material.
Riser system must be secured to building
structure. Cabinets are not designed to support
riser system.
11. The riser system must be secured, at a minimum of
one point, to the building structure. Cabinets are not
intended to support riser system! If the temperature
range of the system will exceed the allowed expansion
and contraction limits (1-1/2 inches maximum), riser
compensation provisions must be made by the installing
contractor.
ENVIRO-TEC 11
FORM ET145.18-IOM1 (115)
12. Ensure that individual unit shut-off valves remain closed
until the circulating loop system has been cleaned and
flushed.
B. SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPI NG
1. Install a drain valve, shut-off / balancing valves, flow
indicators, and drain tees at the bas e of each supply and
return riser to enable system flushing, balancing, and
servicing.
2. Install strainers at the inlet of each circulating pump.
3. Insulate loop water piping that runs through
unconditioned areas of the building, or outside the
building. When loop water temperature is maintained
between nominal operating limits of 60-90
not sweat or suffer undue heat loss at c onditioned space
temperatures.
4. Install vents in piping loop as required to bl eed residual
air from the piping system during filling and servicing.
5. Refer to the following diagrams for determi ning what riser
shut-off valves and hose kits are required for job specific
site conditions.
A. Factory supplied risers will come with the
appropriate hose kits with NPSH type fittings (see
Diagram A). Before attaching hoses check that the
female end gasket is not missing and free of
damage or debris. See Table 3 below for
information on replacement gaskets.
B. For fi eld supplied risers we recommend ordering the
appropriate NPSH type field hose kits from the
factory, complete with shut-off valves. Shut-off
valves are to be fi eld sweat connec ted to ris ers (see
Diagram B).
C. Legacy chassis with NPT type connections and
matching risers with NPT shut-of f valve connections
require a special hose kit complete with NPT to
NPSH swivel adapter on the shut-off valve and
chassis connection (see Diagram C) to mate to
factory hoses.
C. HOSES
Ensure the correct hose set is matched with the compatible
unit size, see Table 2. W hen installing NPSH fact ory provided
hoses installer must follow these procedures when installing
hoses:
1. Inspect for missing or damaged hose gas ket, see Tabl e 3
for replacement gasket part numbers.
2. Tighten by hand screw connections to m ale NPSH fitting
on shut-off valve. Hold ferrule stationary when tightening.
3. Tighten by hand then using a back up wrench tighten a
further quarter (1/4) turn only. Do not over-tighten!

flanges. Failure to follow these instructions will
negatively affect unit sound performance.
A. Horizontal Supply Air
A 2” duct flange (field provided) may be required to eliminat e
supply air recirculation when shall ow profile, single deflection
supply grilles are installed at the cabinet discharge openings. If
the discharge from the cabinet is not ducted completely into
the conditioned space, air can recirculate into the return air
opening from the space inside the drywall enclosure.
JCI supplied grilles shall have a clearance of ¼” around the
perimeter in order to fit inside the unit supply flange. Other
grille manufacturers could have different clearances and
should be verified.
Field supplied gasket must be applied ac cordingly in order to
prevent air recirculation and vibration transfer when supply
grilles are mounted to unit supply opening. When mounting
supply grilles with opti onal volume damper directly to cabinet
supply flange, the volume damper will fit inside the cabinet
supply flange. It is recommended to apply 1/8” neoprene tape
around the perimeter the volume damper prior to inserting into
the supply opening. See Figure 11 for an example. This will
assist in reducing noise transmission and air recirculation into
unit closet
For ducted openings connect the unit supply opening to the
supply ductwork using a watertight flexible duct connector.
This will minimize the transmission of operating sounds
through the supply ductwork. Elbows with turning vanes or
splitters are recommended to minimize air noise due to
turbulence and to help reduce static pressure.
B. Top Discharge Supply Air
Units that are installed with a top discharge should be
connected to the supply ductwork with a watertight flexible
connector. This will minimize the transmission of operating
sounds through the supply ductwork. Elbows with turning
vanes or splitters are recommended to minimize air noise due
to turbulence and to help reduce static pressure.
For information on available unit horizontal and top supply
openings see Table 4 on the following page. Recommended
face velocity at the outlet supply grille is 300-500 FPM. Table
4 gives face velocity at the unit supply openings in relation t o
Table 3. To calculate the face velocity at the supply grille, take
the FPM from Table 4 and divide by the supply grille free area
factor.

A. Top Mounted Fresh Air
The optional fresh air intake provides a 4” round duct
connection on top of the unit (see Figure 12, for right and left
hand version). The fresh air is discharged upstream of the DX
coil through the discharge collector box.
Do not allow incoming air to bypass the DX coil,
otherwise damage to unit may occur.
Unit can be selected with the fresh air opening located on top
left or right hand side for ease of installation.
It is recommended that applications requiring 10% or more
outdoor air utilize a pressurized fresh air s ystem. Unit cabinet
static pressure at the return air opening is not designed to draw
10% or more in passive fresh air systems.
It is recommended that fresh air with a high humidity ratio is pretreated before entering unit assembly using energy recovery
ventilators or make-up air units. Fresh air duct inside unit is
insulated to protect unit f rom condensation in the event of high
humidity air however excessively moist fresh air over prolonged
periods can potentially result in condensate inside unit or closet.
FORM ET145.18-IOM1 (115)
STEP 2. a) Remove red cover from actuator body, b) if
black cover has become loose, position it in place, and c)
slide back onto actuator.
Recommend fresh air is pre-treated before entering
unit assembly by energy recovery ventilators (ERV)
or make-up air units to avoid condensate developing
inside ducts and equipment.
Unit c omes wi th 4-1/4” return air sleeve. Front supply openings
will come with 4-1/4” supply plaster flange.
B. Top Mounted Fresh Air with Motorized Damper
Same features as in the top mounted fres h air int ake option and
including a motorized damper assembly inside the discharge
collector box similar to depiction i n F i gure 12. Damper assembly
can be easily removed, for servi c ing see steps below. Motorized
damper assembly opens during FAN ON operation. See
Appendix for electrical schematic. For other control options
please contact the factory.
During transportation, handling or installation of the
cabinet, excessive handling can cause an inner black
plastic cover to come loose and jam the actuator
preventing the damper from opening.
During start-up check that the damper is opening when unit fan
is running. It can take 20 seconds to full y open. If dam per opens
unit is operating as intended.
If it fails to open t he cause is likely a loose cover preventing
actuator from rotating. To remove actuator and service the
damper refer to instructions below:
STEP 1. Looking up underneath top of the return air
flange you will notice the damper assembly. Remove
seven fasteners holding t he damper plate. Drop the plate
down, disconnect the quick-connect terminals from the
harness.
STEP 3. Secure red cover back over actuator assembly.
Ensure the plastic tabs are secured to the metal body
bracket. Connect quick-connect terminals and insert
damper assembly into discharge collector box. Fasten
using screws.

10. UNIT START-UP
A. Pre-Start-up Checklist
When the installation is complete and the s ystem is cleaned
and flushed, open the supply and return shut-off valves at
each unit, refill the system and bleed off all air.
Before energizing the unit, the following system devices must
be checked:
□Is the high voltage power supply correct and in
accordance with the nameplate ratings?
□ Is the field wiring and circuit protection the correct size?
□ Is the unit electrically grounded?
□ Is the low voltage control wiring correct per the unit
□Are the low / high-side pressure temperature caps
secure and in place?
□ Are all the unit access panels secure and in place?
□ Is the thermostat in the OFF position?
□ Is the water flow established and circ ulating through all
the units?
□Is the ductwork (if required) correctly sized, run, taped,
and insulated?
□ Does the indoor blower turn freely without rubbing?
□ If applicable has glycol fluid been added in the proper
mix to prevent freezing in closed system application?
□ Are clean, properly sized air filters in place?
□ Is the condensate drain pipe firmly sec ured to both drain
riser and drain pan stub?
B. Initial Unit Start-up
1. Close disconnect switches on all units to provide line
power.
During installation, testing, servicing, and
troubleshooting of this product, it may be
necessary to work with live electrical componen ts.
Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions
when exposed to live electrical components could
result in serious injury or death.
2. Set the thermostat to the highest temperature setting.
3. Set the thermostat system switch to COOL; the fan
control switch to AUTO. The compressor should NOT
run.
4. Reduce the temperature control setting until the
compressor and supply fan are energized. Water
temperature leaving the heat exchanger should be
warmer than the entering water temperature (approx. 9-
o
12
F). Blower operation should be smooth. Compres sor
and blower amps should be within t he nameplate data
values. The suction line should be cool, with no frost
observed in the refrigerant circuit.
5. Turn the thermostat switch to the OFF position. The
compressor and fan should stop running, and the
reversing valve should de-energize.
6. Leave the unit off for approxim ately 5 minutes to allow
for pressure equalization.
7. Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting.
8. Set the thermostat system switch to t he HEAT position.
The compressor should NOT run.
9. Adjust the temperature setting upward until the
compressor and supply fan are energized. Af ter several
minutes, warm air should be detected at the supply
register. A water temperature decrease of approximately
o
5-9
F across the heat exchanger s hould be noted. The
blower and compressor operation should be smooth,
with no frost observed in the refrigerant circuit.
10. Set the thermostat to maintain the desired space
temperature.
11. Check all water connections for any leaks, including
condensate drain hose connections.
C. System Loop Temperature
Loop temperatures affect unit performance, power
consumption (efficiency), maintenance and reliability, and
noise levels. High entering water temperatures (EWT) in
cooling mode above rated conditions of 86
increase power consumption and increase compressor noise
levels. Sustained operation above 100
maintenance costs and increased compressor noise may
affect occupancy comfort. Unit is designed to operate up to
o
110
F EWT for intermittent periods when system loop
temperatures become elevated under high load condit ions. It
is not recommended to set system loop temperatures at
o
110
F in case of high load conditions cause supply loop
temperatures to exceed 110
may be negatively impacted at high EWT.
When in heating season maximum operating loop
temperature is 90
system loop temperatures at or above rated conditions of
o
68
F EWT for optimal unit performance. If system loop
temperatures are low where freezing the coaxial is possible,
system loop must contain a glycol fluid mixture that is
adequate to prevent freezing. Minimum loop temperature
with glycol mixture is 20
will result in lower efficiency and heating capacity.
High system loop temperatures may negatively
affect unit performance, efficiency, maintenance
and reliability, and noise levels.
Multi-speed direct drive motors are used in all units as
standard. Although the PSC fan motors have a minimum of
three selectable speeds, and EC motors have five speeds,
only two speeds are recommended and selected for use.
Optional ECM increases operating efficiency by consuming
fewer watts than standard PSC motors. Motors are factory
programmed and cannot be re-programmed i n the field. Each
motor contains 5 low voltage speed taps – t wo speed taps are
used as standard.
Blower speed taps are factory set for optimum heating and
cooling airflow ranges. Refer to Table 5 for factory blower
speed settings, and minimum operating airflow.
Operating unit below the minimum airflow may
result poor heating / cooling performance and
periodic unit lockout.
TABLE 5 – Fan Tables
PSC Standard Blower Performance (CFM)
Located on the electrical box cover, a unit mounted 2-speed
fan switch allows fan speed switching from LOW and HIGH fan
speeds to meet site conditions such as increased ductwork
static pressure, or the use of higher efficient filters.
Installed system must be test run to ensure operation with
sufficient heating and cooling airflow. Excessive ductwork
static pressure will result in an improper volume of airflow.
High airflow volumes will result in elevated noise levels and
may affect occupancy comfort.
LOCK ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
SWITCHES IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE
SERVICING THE UNIT. FAILURE TO DISCONNECT
POWER SUPPLY MAY RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK OR EVEN DEATH.
Note: All airflow ratings are at lowest voltage rating of dual rating (i.e. 208 volt).
Airflow ratings include resistance of wet coil and clean air filters.
ENVIRO-TEC 29
FORM ET145.18-IOM1 (115)
12. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on the unit is simplified with the following
preventive suggestions:
1. Visually inspect unit at least once a month. Special
attention should be paid to hose assemblies. Note any
signs of hose deterioration or cracking; attend to any
indication of minor leakage immediately.
2. Filter maintenance must be perform ed to ensure proper
operation of the equipment. Inspect filters at least every
three months, and replace when visible dirt build-up is
evident.
To avoid fouled machinery and extensive unit clean
up, DO NOT operate units without filters in place, or
use the unit as a temporary cooling/heating source
during construction.
3. Inspect condensate drain pan for algae growth and
mineral build-up every three months. Excessive algae or
mineral deposits in the drain pan or drain line can result in
condensate overflow and unpleasant mildew odors.
4. Check fan motor and blower assembly annually. All units
employ permanently lubricated fan motors. DO NOT OIL
FAN MOTORS. Vacuum any accumulation of dirt from
motor ventilation slots and the blower wheel.
5. Check the contactors and relays within the control panel
annually. Inspect for any visible signs of overheated
contacts or temperature damage to wiring. Check
terminals for tightness.
6. Conduct an amperage check annually on the compressor
and fan motor. Higher amperage draw than nameplate
values (more than 10%) may indicate heat exchanger
fouling, low water flow, or premature physical motor
failure.
7. Inspect air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger surface at least
once a year. A dirty or partially clogged coil can
significantly reduce operating capacity, and can result in
serious equipment problems. If the coils appear dirty,
clean them using mild detergent or a commercial coilcleaning agent.
8. Inspect hoses, valves and connections for water leaks.
For hose connection leaks inspect rubber hose gaskets
and replace as required.
Safety Control Reset
All VSCS heat pumps are furnished with a high-pressure
protection switch, a low-pressure control switch, low water
temperature protection switch and condensate overf low switch
to prevent compressor operation during abnormal conditions.
If either of these safety devices is activated a lockout relay
circuit is engaged, which interrupts heating and cooling
operation, even though the control contacts may have
automatically re-closed.
This microprocessor driven lockout circuit m ust be manually
reset. Reset is accomplished by m oving the thermostat c ontrol
(system) switch to the OFF position momentaril y, then back to
the HEAT, or COOL (or AUTO) position.
The lockout circuit may also be reset by opening and closing
the unit mounted disconnect switch.
If the unit must be reset more than twice on
consecutive operating cycles, check the unit for a
dirty filter, abnormal entering water temperature,
inadequate or excessive water flow, or refrigerant
circuit malfunction. If the unit continues to cutout,
contact a trained service technician.
13. UNIT CONTROLS

Sequence of Operation
The room t-stat makes a circuit between “R” & “Y1” for cooling.
The call is passed to the unit micro process or control, which
then determines whether the requested operat ion is available
and, if so, which components to energize.
For the heating, the room t-stat makes a circuit between “R” &
“W1”. The micro processor control energizes the com pressor
and fan allowing the unit to run in heating mode.
If at any time a call for both heating and cooling are present,
the heating operation will be performed. If operating, the
cooling system is halted as with a completion of a call for
cooling. Heating always takes priority.
Continuous Blower
With the room t-stat fan switch set t o “AUTO” and the system
switch set to either the “AUTO” or “HEAT ” settings, the blower
is energized whenever a cooling or heating operation is
requested. The blower is energized after any specified delay
associated with the operation.
When energized, the indoor blower has a minimum run time of
30 seconds. Additionally, the indoor blower has a delay of 10
seconds between operations.
When the room t-stat calls for cooling, the low-voltage control
circuit from “R” to “Y1”and “G” is completed. The compress or
and fan motor are energized. After completing the specified
fan on delay for cooling, the micro processor control will
energize the blower motor.
ENVIRO-TEC 30
FORM ET145.18-IOM1 (115)
Once the room t-stat has been satisfied, it will deenergize”Y1”. If the compressor has satisfied its minimum run
time, the compressor and fan de-energize. Otherwise, the unit
operates the cooling system until the mi nimum run tim e for the
compressor has been completed. After the compressor deenergizes, the blower is stopped following the elapse of t he fan
off delay for cooling.
To be available, a compressor must not be locked-out due to a
high pressure switch; low pressure switch; condensate
overflow switch; freeze-stat trip and the anti-short cycle delay
(ASCD) must have elapsed.
Operation Errors
Each refrigerant system is monitored for operation outside of
the intended parameters. Errors are handled as described
below. All system errors override minimum run times for
compressors.
High-Pressure Limit Switch
If a high pressure limit switch opens. The micro processor
control de-energizes the compressor, initiates the A SCD (Anti short cycle delay), and stops the unit fans ( soft lock-out).If a
call for cooling or heating is still present at the c onclusion of
the ASCD, the micro processor control will re-energize the
compressor and unit fan.
Should a high pressure switch open three times within two
hours of operation, the micro processor control will
permanently lock –out the system compressor, requiring a
manual reset of the system (enter a hard lock-out), by deenergizing the 24 volt power to unit, or turning the room t -stat
to the “OFF” position then back to either heating or cooling as
required. The micro processor control will flash a fault code
indicating the high pressure lock-out. (See attached table).
Low Pressure Limit Switch
The low pressure limit switch i s not monitored during t he initial
30 seconds of compressor operation. For the following 30
seconds, the microprocessor control will monitor the low
pressure switch to ensure it closes. If the If the l ow pressure
switch fails to close after the 30 second m onitoring phase, the
micro processor control will de-energize the compressor,
initiate the ASCD, and stop the fan (soft lock-out).
Once the low–pressure switch has been proven (closed during
the 30 second monitor period described above), the
microprocessor control will monitor the low pressure switc h fo r
any openings. If the low–pressure switch opens for greater
than 5 seconds, the micro processor control will de-energize
the compressor, initiate the ASCD, and st op the compressor
(soft lock-out).
If the call for cooling is still present at the conclusion of the
ASCD, the micro processor control will re-energize the
compressor.
Should a low pressure switch open three times within one hour
of operation, the microprocessor control board will lock-out the
compressor (enter into a hard lock-out) and fl ash a fault code
(see attached table).
Freeze-stat
If a freeze-stat opens, the micro processor control will deenergize the compressor, and initiate the ASCD. If a call for
cooling or heating is still present at the conclusion of the
ASCD, the micro processor control will re-energize the halted
compressor.
Condensate Overflow Switch
A Condensate Overflow fault occurs if the Condensate
Overflow switch opens continuously for 30 seconds. The
compressor is shutdown regardless of Minimum Run Time and
alarm 15 is set. Fan continues operating in its current state.
The control logs the first incident per compressor request.
Lockout occurs on the second fault occurrence within a
request cycle, requiring reset or power cycling. If the
compressor request is removed, the fault occurrence counter
is reset to zero. When lockouts are removed, the alarm is
reset.
Safety Controls
The micro processor control monitors the following inputs:
1. A suction line freeze-stat to protect against low leaving
water temperatures (opens at 34F and resets at 48F.)
2. A high pressure switch to protect against excessive
discharge pressures (opens at 600 psig +/– 25 psig).
3. A low pressure switch to protect against loss of refrigerant
charge (opens at 55psig +/– 5 psig).
4. A Condensate Overflow Switch to protect against
condensate overflow
Coaxial Freeze Protection Set Point
The unit allows for field selection of the coaxial freeze
protection set point. Unit utilizes a suction line freeze-stat
factory set for compressor lock-out when leaving water
temperature drops below 35F (resets at 48F ). To lower the set
point for low temp heating applications with an adequate
water-antifreeze solution, unplug freeze-stat sensor, located at
P6 on the microprocessor control board and plug in the (pink)
jumper attached to existing harness. By installing the jumper,
the freeze-stat is bypassed allowing for heating operati on with
leaving water temperatures below 35F. Use jumper only in low
water applications with adequate antifreeze protection,
otherwise damage can occur.
Random Start
Random start function, upon power up, will im pose time delay
of 4 minutes plus a random delay of 1 to 64 seconds. The
random number generator seed is determined by a fixed seed
programmed at the factory combined with the serial number,
model number, and the hours of compressor run time of the
unit.
Compressor Protection
In addition to the external press ure switches, the compressor
also has inherent (internal) protection. If t here is an abnormal
temperature rise in a compressor, the protector will open to
shut down the compressor. The micro processor control
incorporates features to minimize compressor wear and
damage. An anti-short cycle delay (ASCD) is utilized to
prevent operation of a compress or too soon after its previous
run. Additionally, a minimum run time is imposed any time a
compressor is energized. The ASCD is initiated on unit startup and on any compressor reset or lockout.
Microprocessor Control Unit Flash Codes
Various flash codes are utilized by the microproc essor control
to aid in troubleshooting. Flash codes are dis tinguished by the
short on and off cycle used (approximately 200ms on and
200ms off). To show normal operation, the control boards flash
a 1 second on, 1 second off “heart beat” during normal
operation. This is to verify that the micro processor is
functioning correctly. Do not confuse this with an error flash
code. To prevent confusion, a 1-flash, fault code is not used.
See Table 6 for list of all flash codes.

Flash Codes
Description
Current alarms or active restrictions are flashed on the
microprocessor control LED.
1. Last Error – When this button is pressed and released
one time within five seconds, it flashes the last five fault
codes on the board’s LED. The most recent alarm is
shown first and the oldest alarm is shown last.
2. Test Reset – When thi s button is pressed and released
one time with five seconds, any anti-anti-short cycle delay
(ASCD) is bypassed for one cycle.
3. Comm Set UP – If the board is to be networked with other
units, this button is used to set the network address.
The first time the button is pressed within five sec onds, it
scans the bus, and then assigns itself the first available
address, (starts at 2).It then flashes that address one
time.
Pressing the button two times within five seconds causes
the control to flash the address.
Communication
The communication protocol is MODBUS using the RTU
method of packet framing at 19200-baud rate.

14. SYSTEM FLUSHING AND CLEANING
After the piping system is complete, and prior to c onnection of
the refrigeration chassis, the risers should be flushed and
cleaned to ensure proper start-up and continued efficient
operation of the system.
1. Ensure that the supply and return riser shut-off valves are
closed at each unit.
2. Using flexible hoses or piping, connect the supply and
return stub-outs in the unit l ocated at the end of the riser
run(s). If the building has more than 10 floors, connect the
supply and return stub-outs in the last two units to divide
the water flow and reduce pressure drop at the pump.
(See Figure below)
3. Open the shut-off valves in the units that have had the
supply and return risers inter-connected.
4. The water circulation system should be fi lled with clean
water using the make-up water supply. The air vents
should be open during initial filling (Do not allow the
system to overflow).
5. With the air vents closed, start the circulating pump and
then crack each air vent to ensure t hat all air is bled from
the system. (Make-up water must be available in
sufficient volume to replace the volume occupied by the
air that is bled off.)
6. When all air is vented, and the wat er is circulating under
pressure, the entire system should be checked for leaks.
Make any repairs as required.
7. Set the loop temperature controls to raise the
temperature to approximately 85
check for any leaks that may have occ urred due to the
increased heat. Repair as required.
8. Open the drain at the lowest point in the system (make-up
water flow rate must be equal to rate of drain bleed).
Continue to bleed system until water l eaving the drain is
clear, but not less than 2 hours.
9. Completely drain the piping system.
o
F. Perform a visual
FORM ET145.18-IOM1 (115)
After the initial Flushing, the system should be chemically
cleaned. The procedure for re-filling the system, and
circulating the cleaning solution, is the repeat of the above
flushing method.
The services of a professional water treatment company are
recommended with regards to the type of solution to be used,
and the duration of the cleaning application.
Once the cleaning process is complete, shut off the circ ulating
pump and completely drain the system. Refill the system with
clean water in preparation for connection of the refrigeration
chassis, and system start-up.
It is strongly recommended a professional water
treatment company is used to perform on-going
maintenance of water loop including chemical
analysis, and if necessary flushing. The water l oop
testing should be performed at intervals
recommended by the professional water treatment
consultant. It is up to the customer to carry out
adequate water loop maintenance over the lifespan
of the units otherwise damage to the units may
occur.
