Standard air-conditioning units GENERAL INFORMATION THE PROGRAM The “standard air-conditioning units” program can be used with CAREL’s pCO1 or pCO2 boards; the program manages “ED” direct expansion or “CW” water coil air-conditioning units. The program main functions are: • control of temperature and humidity inside civil or technological environments •...

PCOUMID000 CARD / PCOUMID200 This interface allows controlling the basic quantities of the OEM humidifiers produced by CAREL, that is level, feedwater conductibility and current absorption. The pCO1 – pCO2 board directly controls all values. The interface transforms the humidifier signals into signals readable by the cards.
BUILT-IN HUMIDIFIER Integrated management of a Carel immersed electrode humidifier. The pCO1 - pCO2 boards manage all the functions, from the reading of the humidifier parameters to the control of the devices (fill, drain, output) by relay. The humidifier parameters (current, conductivity, level) are not read directly, but rather using an optional card (PCOUMID000 / 200).The built-in humidifier is available for pCO1 - pCO2 medium boards only and replaces...
The algorithm also controls the drain cycles, signalling a drain alarm if there is no appreciable decrease in current when the drain cycle starts. Vice-versa, a no water alarm will be signalled if there is no appreciable increase in current when the humidifier is being filled with water. Carel Cod. +030221421 – Rel. 1.2 – April, 11, 2003...

The non-serious alarm relay is closed in case of any type of alarm; the serious alarm relay is closed in case of serious alarms only. Each managed alarm may be identified as serious or non-serious, consequently allowing to determine which relay shall be enabled. The delay time can be determined for both relays before closing.

In addition, heating can also be executed by heaters or a warm coil. For any information about coil and heaters operation, refer to the previous paragraphs. Carel Cod. +030221421 – Rel. 1.2 – April, 11, 2003...
In practice, the devices are switched off only if outlet temperature is lower than differential; the devices are then switched on again if outlet temperature reaches the outlet set point, as shown in the following diagram: Outlet set OUTLET LIMITATION TOTAL LIMITATION OFF LIMITATION 10.0 15.0 Outlet temp. 5.0°C (°C) Outlet differential Carel Cod. +030221421 – Rel. 1.2 – April, 11, 2003...
Both pressure and temperature probes can be selected. In case of pressure probes, branch I/O screens display the temperature value corresponding to the pressure of each probe, based on the coolant type (to be selected in the Manufacturer branch).

Immediate alarm originated when the digital input switches from closed to open; the heater is immediately disabled. To enable the heaters again, the user has to rearm the alarm manually by pushing the terminal Alarm button, provided that the compressor overload or the differential have rearmed energising the digital input.

Modbus: insert the Rs485 additional card; the card only is required since the program manages this protocol by itself. Bacnet: insert the Rs485 additional card and connect it with Carel’s gateway code GATEWAYBN0 by Rs485 line. Owners’ BMS: Carel has developed many other Gateways for interfacing with less spread BMS, i.e. OTE.

Boards mode operation: Not present, Present/No Rotation, Present/Rotation. These are 8 parameters, one for each board. Not present: unit not connected. Present/No Rotation: unit physically connected with pLAN network but not involved in the rotation function (however, unit can manage the shared terminal, printing and Carel’s Master Control function). Present/Rotation: unit involved in Rotation too.
Manual: term identifying the start and stop of all devices connected with the pCO2 board outputs by appropriate screens and with unit off. • Buffer (memory): term identifying the pCO2 memory in which the default values (selected by Carel) of all parameters are stored. Memory is permanent even if voltage is cut off.
