The client (builder, developer or installer of the final equipment) assumes every responsibility and risk relating to the configuration of the product in order to reach the expected results in relation to the specific final installation and/or equipment. CAREL in this case, through specific agreements, can intervene as consultant for the positive result of the final start-up machine/application, but in no case can it be held responsible for the positive working of the final equipment/apparatus.

Programming key (code PSOPZKEY*0) The programming keys PSOPZKEY00 and PSOPZKEYA0 for CAREL controllers allow the copying of the complete set of parameters of the μC SE. The keys must be connected to the connector (AMP 4 pin) envisioned in the controllers and can operate with controllers powered or not.

Connection with CONV0/10VA0 and CONVONOFF0 modules (accessories) The CONV0/10AVA0 and CONVONOFF0 modules allow to convert a PWM output for SSR respectively into an analogue output 0…10Vdc and into an ON/OFF output with relay. Note that with the same controller 3 different types of outputs can be obtained. CONV0/10A0 - CONVONOFF0 module CONV0/10A0 module CONVONOFF0 module...
The protection against short circuits due to faulty wiring must be guaranteed by the manufacturer of the appliance that the controller will be fitted on. Programming key (copy of the set-up) The PSOPZKEY00 and PSOPZKEYA0 programming keys for CAREL controllers allow to copy the complete set of μC SE parameters. The keys must be connected to the connector (AMP 4 pin) envisioned in the controllers and can operate with instruments that are live or not, according to that indicated in the user notes of the specific controller.

The operation is completed in 10 seconds. If the completed signal with green LED on is not given within this time period, it is good practice to attempt the operation again, releasing and pressing the button again. In the event of flashing, see the relative table for the meaning of the signal. signal error meaning and solution...
USER INTERFACE The front panel contains the display and keyboard, made up from 4 keys, which, pressed individually or together, allow to perform all of the controller programming operations. Display The display features 3 digits, with the display of the decimal point between -99.9 and 99.9. Outside of this range of measurement, the value is automatically displayed without the decimal (even if internally the unit still operates considering the decimal part).
Levels “Factory”: accessible with password 66, it allows the configuration of all unit parameters; “Super User”: accessible with password 11, it allows the configuration of the Super User, User and Direct parameters; “User”: accessible with password 22, it allows the configuration of those parameters that can be set typically by the user and Direct, therefore relative to the options.
5 new warnings or alarms. Moreover, it allows each individual digital output to change on the basis of an individual alarm. The serial address identifies the controller in a RS485 network with Carel or Modbus protocol.
Other configuration parameters (par. c14, /23, H09, P35) c14 establishes the number of operating hours of the compressors/pumps, expressed in hundreds of hours, over which to activate the maintenance request signal (Hc1, Hc2). c10 and c11 are read only parameters and indicate the number of operating hours of the compressors 1 and 2, expressed in hundreds of hours.
FUNCTIONS 5.1 Set point The control algorithm is the ON/OFF type according to the figure. The set point r01 can be set from a minimum value to a maximum value (par. r13, r14). The probe selected for the control depends on parameter r06, once enabled with the parameters /01 and /02. If r06 = 0,1 the probe is B1. If r06 = 2, 3, 4 the control probe is B2.
The probes B1/B2 have the function of input/output evaporator temperature. The probe B3 can be configured as condensation temperature probe, external or differential control. The external probe allows the activation of the external compensation algorithm. The probe B4 can have the same functions as B3 and in addition acts as digital input (can be configured from par.
The warnings/alarms Ad1...Ad5 can be used to switch-over the outputs NO11,..NO15 of the I/O expansion board, along with the high pressure, low pressure alarms, etc. See parameter P42 at the "Digital outputs" paragraph.

Analogue outputs The analogue output Y1 is set-up for the condenser fan and is active if F01 = 1. In systems with hot gas bypass function enabled, the bypass valve is commanded by the output Y1 (controller) or Y2 (I/O expansion board). See the control chapter. 5.7 Compensation The compensation can indifferently increase or decrease the value of r01 depending on whether r17 is respectively positive or negative.
CONTROL Anti-freeze The anti-freeze probe is B2. The anti-freeze set-point A01 represents the temperature below which the machine passes to anti-freeze mode: alarm A1 activates and switches the alarm output. The value of A01 is limited by A07. A03 is the intervention delay time of the anti-freeze alarm when starting the machine.

Protection for outputs with different relays (par. c04, c05) c04 establishes the minimum time that must pass between successive switch-ons of 2 compressors. By delaying the connection, line overloads are prevented due to close or simultaneous peaks, c05 establishes the minimum time that must pass between the switch-off of the two compressors. Par.

Compressors deactivation external temperature (par.r25) The compressors are deactivated if the external temperature drops below the value of r25. The differential for re-activation is fixed at 1 degree. The resistances can be activated according to the relative set-points Par. Description U.M.
6.7 Fan management Fan operation F01 enables the condenser fan output, according to the output assigned by parameter H11. Depending on the type of fan, the controller PWM output (Y1), always active, requests the presence of optional boards: 1) CONVONOFF0 for the conversion of the PWM output into ON/OFF output; 2) CONV0/10A0 for the conversion of the PWM output into 0…10 Vdc or 4…20 mA output;...
6.8 Hot gas bypass The hot gas by-pass in temperature mode function allows to increase the temperature of the output water from the evaporator. The output enabled is the controller analogue output Y1 (water-water chiller) or Y2 (air-water chiller) of the I/O expansion board. Par.

E1...E4: probe error detected also with machine in Stand-by. The presence of a probe alarm leads to the deactivation of the compressor, the condenser fan, pump and heater; the alarm relay and display flashing are activated. In the event of external probe fault and compensation function enabled, the unit continues to operate correctly, the function deactivates, a warning is activated via the alarm relay and the message appears on the display from E1 to E4 for probes B1 to B4.
AHt: high temperature on plant switch-on warning. The warning does not activate the relay and displays the "AHt" message. ALt: low temperature on plant switch-on warning. The warning does not activate the relay and displays the "Alt" message. ELS/EHS: warning low/alarm high power supply voltage warning. If the power supply voltage is too high or too low, the relative message appears on the display.
