1 SAFETY AND CONFORMITY

1.1 Safety Instructions

The GEA Omni™ is reliable in operation if used as specified.

Hint!

Read the safety instructions in the GEA Omni™ operating manual before startup.

The intended use includes the observance and compliance of

•

all notices regarding hazard to persons and damage to property in the operating instructions,

•

the country-specific standards and safety regulations,

•

the instruction for installation, operation and maintenance,

•

the details of certificates,

•

the requirements for personnel,

Safety and Conformity

Safety Instructions

•

the obligation to exercise due care.

Only compliance with all provisions and guidelines will enable optimum protection of the personnel as well as dangers to the environment and the safe and smooth operation of the GEA Omni™.

Warning!

GEA Omni™ can cause hazard in case of improper or unintended use. A malfunction indication on the touch screen cannot be ignored.

A personal injury or damage to the machine or plant can be the result.

For precautions to prevent danger see safety instructions in the operating manual.

Warning of electric shock!

Danger of electric shock exists.

More than one switch-disconnect may be necessary to isolate all electrical components.

Before maintenance work on the control panel, make sure that all electrical components are switched off.

Danger!

It should be ensured at any time that all are necessary processes for compressor cooling and lubrication in operation as long as the compressor is in operation.

This applies esprecially for the case where the compressor is unintentionally in operation. The unintentionally compressor operation can be determined by observation of the compressor motor feedback, the motor current or the motor speed.

Safety and Conformity Safety note concerning the connection of the GEA Omni™ with the starter panel

Instruction Manual | GEA Omni™

Control panel

Hint!

To minimize the possibility of interference from electromagnetic signals in the operation of the ICTD temperature converters, the following wiring guidelines must be observed:

•

The signal cables should be two conductor shielded cable. Twisted pair cable is preferable.

•

The signal cables should be run in conduits which do not contain any AC wiring.

•

The signal cables should not be run in parallel or in close proximity to VFD power cables.

•

All VFD equipment in the facility must be solidly grounded.

•

If the ICTD sensors are not mounted on the skid or compressor package, the convertor should be mounted at the probe location.

•

Operation of some high-powered radio or microwave communications equipment in close proximity to the ICTD temperature converters, ICTD sensors, or interconnecting wiring may result in inaccurate readings for the associated temperature(s).

1.2 Safety note concerning the connection of the GEA Omni™ with the starter panel

Hint!

It is not permitted to add an external controller between the GEA Omni™ and the power panel; this would compromise the safety interlocks designed for protecting personnel and equipment. All control signals between the GEA Omni™ and the starter panel must be processed directly and must not flow indirectly via an external controller. GEA Refrigeration North America, Inc. cannot otherwise guarantee the safe operation of the system.

2.7 Evaporator

Evaporator control is based on temperature. The evaporator temperature controls the operation of the zone based on its set point and related parameters.

A reset delay prevents all solenoids in the system from turning on at the same time. Any time the control panel is powered-up, reset, or after a shutdown condition, all evaporator zones will be placed into a reset delay condition. The first zone placed into operation is given a five second reset delay, and each subsequent zone that is enabled and not currently in a shutdown will be assigned a reset delay equal to the previous zone’s delay plus five seconds. This allows the evaporator zones to come out of reset delay in any order. A zone that is in reset delay will be represented by a dark green tile on the overview screen, and will display the remaining time until it will be permitted to start.

The defrost cycle for an Evaporator zone may be initiated in one of three ways:

46 GEA Refrigeration North America, Inc. | E_806550_2 | Generated 12.01.2016

Instruction Manual | GEA Omni™ Control panel

•

A manual initiate triggered through either the touch screen or communications.

•

An automatic defrost based on the run time of the zone’s liquid solenoid.

•

A daily defrost based on the current time of day.

User interface

Evaporator

With any of the modes of defrosting, the zone is placed into defrost immediately if no other zone on the same group is defrosting. If another zone on the same group is in defrost, the zone will instead be placed into pending defrost until the zone currently defrosting has completed the cycle.

The defrosting cycle may contain up to twelve stages. The amount of time the zone will remain in each stage is user adjustable.

Control panel

This button is used to determine the touch and drag functionality of the screen. Touching the button will switch the mode and change the button text to the disabled mode. While scrolling is enabled, the touch and drag functionality will slide the tile display in the opposite direction.

This will only function is the system contains too many tiles to display them all on the screen at once. While swapping is enabled, touching and holding a tile will allow it to be dragged to a new location in the display. In either mode, touching and releasing any tile in the display will open the Main Tab of the Evaporator screen.

This button will only be enabled while swapping tile locations is enabled, as detailed above. It is used to change the display of the overview screen so that it will show a detailed view of two zones side by side. When it is touched, the button text will change to read Select. Until the button is touched again, touching a tile will mark it with a check in its upper right hand corner rather than opening the Main Tab. When two tiles are selected and the button is touched a second time, the screen will change to display the parameters and operating data of the selected zones.

Control panel

fig.100: Network tab display

This tab is used to display the status of the panel’s network connections. It also allows the user to modify certain settings. These options may only be modified by a user with service level or higher permissions.

Customer Network

This section displays the current network connection, if applicable. The switch displayed in this section is used to select whether DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the panel will automatically search for a network connection and will fill in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gate- way and DNS Server fields without user input. If DCHP is disabled, the values in these fields must be entered manually. If the panel successfully connects to the chosen network, the title of this section will display Customer Network – Connected. Otherwise, it will display Customer Network – Disconnected.

Hint!

The IP Address Range 192.168.254.0 through 192.168.254.255 is reserved for the I/O Ethernet network Setup. To ensure the functionality of both networks, do not use this range for the customer LAN Connection.

I/O Network

This section is used to display the IP Address and MAC Address of the panel’s I/O network coupler, if applicable. These values may not be modified and are only visible for users with access level of Service or higher. If the panel successfully connects to an appropriate network location, the title of this section will display I/O Network – Connected. Otherwise, it will display I/O Network – Disconnected.

VNC Server Settings

This section is used to select whether a user may remotely log into the panel using VNC and whether a password is required to do so. This section contains two switches. The switch on the left toggles whether VNC client access is enabled for the panel and the switch on the right toggles whether a password is required. If a password is required, it may be changed by typing a new password into the Password and Confirm Password fields and touching the Change Password button below.
