Intended use
Depending on the model and
the equipment, the units are only
intended to be used as a cold
water drain to cool or warm
the operating medium water
or a water-glycol mixture within
a closed medium cycle.
Any different or additional
use is a non-intended use.
The manufacturer / supplier
assumes no liability for damages
arising from non-intended use.
The user bears the sole risk in such
cases.
Using the equipment as
intended also includes working
in accordance with the operating
manual and installation
instructions and complying with
the maintenance requirements.
Unit description
In cooling mode the unit (chilled
water outlet) extracts the heat
from the interior room to be
cooled into the fin register
and passes it on to the cold
operating medium - water or
a mix of water and glycol - within
a closed medium cycle. As a result
of the heat exchange, the medium
heats up and the emergent
air cools the room down.
In heating mode, a warm
operating medium warms
the room to be heated.
The medium cools down as a result
of the heat exchange.
A valve assembly, which routes
the operating medium through
the register (energy is given up)
or past the resister (energy is
not given up), is used to control
the cooling or heating capacity.

The unit is designed for use
indoors in the lower wall area
(vertical installation) and for ceiling
installation (horizontal installation).
Operation is either individually
or in groups using a room
temperature controller or via
the building management system.
The unit consists of a fin heat
exchanger, circulation fan,
controller and two condensate
trays for horizontal and vertical
installation.
The available accessories
include room temperature
controllers for installation in
the unit or on the wall, heating

System layout
The unit is designed
for a 2-conductor system.
The unit can easily be upgraded
to a 4-conductor system using
a heating coil available as
an accessory.
The 2-conductor system has
2 medium pipes (conductors:
supply and return flow) for
cooling using a cold medium and
2 medium pipes for heating using
a warm medium. In cooling mode
the combined cooling / heating
heat exchanger in the indoor unit
extracts the heat from the room air
by absorbing it into the operating
medium. A circulation pump
transports the heated medium to
a chiller which extracts the heat
from the medium in an evaporator
and then passes it on to the
outside air via a cooling cycle in
a condenser. The cooled operating
medium is then fed in once again
to the unit medium circuit.

With 2-conductor systems, which
are used for cooling or heating,
the heating capacity of cold water
air-conditioning systems can be
generated through a chiller with
heat pump function or, in the case
of heating systems, through
a boiler or heat pump and fed into
the circuit. In heating operation,
the indoor unit can deliver the heat
from the operating medium
to the room air.
With 4-conductor systems, which
are used for cooling or heating,
in one system, both a cooling
capacity from a chiller and
heating capacity from a separate
heating system on the indoor
units in an another system
are simultaneously present.

Installation instructions for qualified personnel
Important notes prior
to installation
■
Observe the Operating
Manuals for the indoor unit
and the chiller or heating
system or the heat pump
system when installing
the entire system.
■
The indoor units and
chillers work independently.
A connecting line between
the two is not necessary.
■
Transport the unit in its original
packaging as close as possible
to the installation location.
You avoid transport damage
by doing so.
■
Check the contents of
the packaging for completeness
and check the unit for visible
transport damage.
Report any damage
immediately to your contractual
partner and the shipping
company.
■
Select an installation location
which allows air to flow freely
through the inlet and outlet.
(See section "Minimum
clearances").
■
Do not install the unit
in the immediate vicinity
of devices which generate
intensive thermal radiation.
Installation in the vicinity
of thermal radiation reduces
the unit output.
■
Lift the unit at the corners
and not by the medium
or condensate connections.
■
The medium connection lines,
valves and connections must
have vapour density insulation.
If necessary, also insulate
the condensate drainage line.
In dual systems with
cooling and heating modes,
the requirements of the current
energy savings ordinance
(EnEV) are to be complied with.
■
Seal off open lines to prevent
dirt getting in and never kink
or crimp the lines.
■
Avoid unnecessary bends.
This minimises the pressure loss
in the lines.
■
Make all electrical connections
in accordance with applicable
DIN and VDE standards.
■
Always ensure the electrical
cables are properly connected
to the terminals. Otherwise
there is a risk of fire.
■
Service openings should be
provided in the suspended
ceiling to allow maintenance
access to the control box
or the valve assembly.
■
Any ventilation ducts or pipes
and connection fittings, which
are used to connect a second
room or supply fresh air, should
be insulated with diffusion-tight
material.
■
Only install the valve assembly
or other attachments once
the indoor unit has been
installed.
Installation material
The indoor unit is attached
using 4 bolts to be provided
by the customer.

Changing medium connection parts
The connection side of the heat
exchanger and the condensate
drainage line are installed at
the factory on the left-hand side
of the unit. It is possible to change
this to the right-hand side.
1. Dismantle the condensate tray
by removing the four selftapping screws.
2. Remove the screws from the heat
exchanger mounting on the side
cover frame (Figure 4).
3. Pull the heat exchanger out
of the unit's mounting.
Be careful as it is easy to be
cut by the fins. Do not bend
any fins and do not damage
the insulation.
4. Cut the insulation of the side
stay plate to accommodate
the brass connections
on the new connection side.
5. Feed the connections through
the newly created holes up
to the stop (Figure 5).
6. Place the tear-resistant plastic
film on the pipe bend side
between the stay plate insulation
and the heat exchanger
mounting. The film protects
the insulation of the stay plate
against damage.

assembly is not absolutely
essential.
■
Ceiling installation without
valve assembly:
A valve assembly must be
used in this application case
to prevent the flow of cold
air from the air outlet when
the fan is switched off.
■
Wall installation with valve
assembly:
In order to prevent any
flow of cold air and severe
condensate formation,
for reasons of comfort
a valve assembly can be used
inthis application case.
■
Ceiling installation with valve
assembly:
In order to prevent any flow
of cold air and permanent flowgenerated noise, for reasons
of comfort a valve assembly
is recommended in this
application case.
■
As the 2-conductor system
must cool and heat equally,
for reasons of convection
during winter operation,
a valve assembly is stipulated
for all installation methods for
this system operation to avoid
undesirable heat emission.
4-conductor system
for cooling and heating
■
As the 4-conductor system
must cool and heat equally, two
valve assemblies are stipulated
for this system operation for
the cooling and heating register.
Connection of the medium
piping
■
The connection of the piping
by the customer is made
on the rear side of the units.
■
For the purpose of servicing,
connections must be equipped
with shut-off valves and
the medium flow rate adjusted
using hydronic balancing
valves.
■
Additional automatic bleed
valves must be provided
in the supply and return flows
at the installation's highest
point.
■
The medium piping must
not exert any structural load
on the unit.
■
The pipe connections must
not impose any thermal
or mechanical stresses
on the unit.
If necessary, cool the piping
or support with the second tool.
Valve assembly for 2 or
4-conductor systems (accessory)
In 2 or 4-conductor systems, cold
or warm medium is fed through
the heat exchangers into the unit
and cold or warm air can be
discharged. Control is provided
by the 3-way valve assembly.
It consists of the electrically
actuated valve head and the valve
body. If the head is electrically
activated, it actuates the body,
which routes the medium into
the register. If the temperature
is reached, the head is switched
off and the medium is fed past
the heat exchanger through
the bypass . The bypass serves
to ensure the minimum medium
flow rate for the chiller.
NOTE
The time between being fully
open and fully closed can
be approx. three minutes.
Valves for hydronic balancing
The calculated individual pressure
losses in the pipeline network
layout for each individual unit
are adjusted to the entire system
with hydronic balancing valves
to be provided by the customer.
The nominal flow rates for
the medium adjust to the values
needed as a consequence
of the pressure loss.

Condensate drainage
connection
Anti-freeze protection (accessories)
A water glycol mix is generally
used as the medium for a cold
water system. Depending on
the glycol type and quantity used,
the viscosity changes, the pressure
loss increases and the unit's
cooling or heating output reduces.
All system components must
be approved for use with glycol.
NOTE
The product and safety data
sheets of the glycol type which
is used must be obeyed during
use and disposal .
Diaphragm expansion vessel
(MAG)
To avoid pressure fluctuations
because of temperature changes
when not operating, diaphragm
expansion vessels filled with
nitrogen (moisture neutral) must
be integrated in the system.
Automatic bleed valves
The unit has one or two manual
bleed valves on the collector pipe
of the register.
The unit can be bled separately
after the system has been filled.
Automatic bleed valves must also
be installed at the highest point
in the collector line.
CAUTION
Glycol tolerant bleeding valves
are necessary when using
media which contain glycol.
Safety valve
Safety valves limit excess operating
pressure due to excess warming
or overfilling of the operating
medium. The valve outlet requires
unobstructed draining into a drain
line. Applicable local disposal
ordinances must be observed
if glycol is used.
NOTE
No moisture can condense
in the nitrogen filler.
If the temperature falls below
the dew point, condensate will
form on the cooling fins during
cooling mode.
Below the heat exchanger is
a collection tray which must be
connected to a drain.
■
The condensate drainage
line provided by the customer
should be installed with
an incline of at least 2 %.
If necessary, fit vapourdiffusion-proof insulation.
■
Route the condensate drainage
line of the unit into the drain
line without any obstruction.
If the condensate runs directly
into a sewer pipe, fit a trap to
prevent any unpleasant odours.
■
When operating the unit at
outside temperatures below
0°C, ensure the condensate
drainage line is laid in such
a manner to protect it against
frost.
If necessary, fit a pipe heater.
■
Following installation, check
that the condensate run off
is unobstructed and ensure that
the line is durably leak tight.

Before
commissioning
Anti-freeze protection for
the medium
If a water-glycol mixture is used,
it is to be pre-mixed before being
put in the system. The desired
concentration is then to be
checked.
Bleeding the system
■
Air may still be in the pipe
lines after the leak test.
This is carried during operation
of the circulation pump to
the automatic bleeding valves
or to the cold water drain.
It is necessary to bleed again
here.
■
The non-circulating pressure
must then be adjusted to
the required system pressure.
