GENERAL NOTES 1.1 PERMITTED USE The touch screen remote control panel allows the centralized management of a network of chiller/heat pump. It can also be used for partial functions (i.e. as a remote control panel of a single chiller/heat pump or ambient temperature thermostat). It includes humidity and temperature sensors for the thermo hygrometric analysis of the environment and for the management of the double set point for radiant floor heating systems that use a dehumidification system.
Touch Screen 2 Input/Output RESOURCES (I/O) 2.1 TOUCH SCREEN PCB 2.1.1 LAYOUT Figure 1. Layout 2.1.2 TOUCH-SCREEN USE The interface has a resistive touch-screen LCD with sensitive areas applied to the contextual content of the active screen. It allows you to select items or perform functions with ease. Do not exert too much pressure on the touch screen with your fingers and do not use a sharp object on the touch screen.
Touch Screen 2.3 CONNECTIONS Open the control applying a slight pressure in the lower and upper parts of the devise in order to separate the rear cover from the front one.

Touch Screen intervention of the chillers change, by rotating the decalibration of the set point of the chillers, in order to balance the load on the various machines. If a chiller is in alarm, it is excluded from the regulation. By default Par 8/65=0. 4.3 CHILLER/HEAT PUMPS MANAGEMENT Up to 7 chiller HP_OWER series can operate by mean of the Touch Screen remote control panel.
Touch Screen In the case of disconnection from the network of one or more fan coils that were correctly addressed and detected (for example in case fancoils’ power supply failure), the centralized remote controller proceeds with updating the number of fancoils actually in operation in the system with a delay of 2 minutes from the occurrence of the failure, after update, an error message will be displayed.

Touch Screen With double set-point function enabled, if the chiller works on the second set-point (radiant panels side), the double set-point icon appears in the toolbar of the functions in the pages of chillers and fan coils and it remains transparent. If, however, the chiller switch to thermoregulate on the first set-point (fan coil side), the double set-point icon appears colourful.
Touch Screen Given the environmental temperature and the humidity, the Touch Screen remote control calculates the dew point. In operation of the plant in summer mode, with the double set-point function active on chillers and thermoregulation normally made with the radiant panels (second set of work), it activates a control to keep the dew point of at least a quantity defined by the keyboard maintainer parameter Par42/65: "Dew-point temp.
