Foreword Safety Guidelines The portable chiller is a packaged unit that typically Observe all safety precautions during installation, includes a refrigeration circuit, coolant reservoir, and start-up, and service of this equipment. The pumping system in a cabinet. The purpose is to following is a list of symbols used in this manual and provide cooling water or coolant.
Only qualified personnel should install, start-up, and Pre-Installation service this equipment. When working on this equipment, observe precautions in this manual as Receiving Inspection well as tags, stickers, and labels on the equipment. When the unit arrives, verify the information on the unit nameplate agrees with the order WARNING: Any use or misuse of this equipment acknowledgement and shipping papers.
Rigging Chillers with an integral water-cooled or air-cooled condenser ship with a full refrigerant charge. Chillers The chiller has a frame to facilitate easy movement designed for use with a remote air-cooled condenser and positioning with a crane or forklift. Follow and the remote condensers themselves ship with a proper rigging methods to prevent damage to nitrogen holding charge.
stream adversely affects performance. In order to Proper ventilation is another important reduce maintenance costs and chiller downtime, a consideration when locating the condenser. In water treatment program is highly recommended for general, locate the unit in an area that will not rise the condenser cooling water.
Figure 1 - Mounting Remote Condenser Legs WARNING: The POE oil contained within the compressor is hygroscopic and has the ability to absorb water vapor from the atmosphere. Take necessary steps to prevent an open system from exposure to the atmosphere for extended periods while installing the interconnecting refrigerant tubing.
Figure 3 – Condenser Located Above Chiller Unit 2. Determine approximate line sizes by referring to Table 2 for liquid lines, Table 3 and Table 4 for the discharge lines. 3. Check the line size by calculating the actual equivalent length using the equivalent lengths as shown in Table 5.

Calculating Refrigerant and Oil Charge Installation - Electrical To determine the approximate charge, assume a All wiring must comply with local codes and the combined chiller and remote condenser summer National Electric Code. Minimum circuit amps (MCA) refrigerant charge of 4.6 Lbs. of R-407c then refer to and other unit electrical data are on the unit Table 5 to determine the charge required for the nameplate.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection when installing, Standard Controller Operation maintaining, or repairing the equipment to protect against any sparks, debris, or fluid leaks. The chiller includes a controller to perform all control functions directly from the front panel. When CAUTION: Wear protective gloves when installing, power is applied the controller lights up and maintaining, or repairing the equipment to protect against any sparks, debris, or fluid leaks.
Main Menu The main screen displays the control probe, setpoint and the status of the unit: The main menu access is through the PRG Button Stand by (unit is on and compressor is off) and depending of the password level is it possible to Off by alarm change the different settings.

Table 8 - Main Menu Setup (continued) Category Level Security Screen Range Default Description Valve Service Flow / Tank Low Flow Alarm This is the time after a unit start before the Low Flow Alarm Delay: 0 to 30 s becomes active.
Modbus RTU Communications The standard controller has Modbus RTU communications enabled with the following default setup: Baud rate = 57,600, data length = 8 bits, parity = odd, and stop bit = 1. Table 9 – Modbus Parameters Register Format Parameter Data Access Level...
Alarms If there is no alarm active and the alarm key is pressed, the screen shows “NO ALARMS”. Under no alarm condition, the LED under the alarm button is OFF. If there is at least one alarm active, the screen displays the information needed to understand the cause of every alarm.
Start-Up CAUTION: Wire the unit ground in compliance with local and national codes. Every unit is factory set to deliver chilled water in accordance with the standard operating Step 1 - Connect Main Power specifications for that particular chiller. Due to Connect main power properly ensuring it matches variables involved with different applications and the voltage shown on the nameplate of the unit.

Step 3 - Check Condenser present, adjust the Freezestat to the appropriate setting. There are three possible types of condensers present in the chiller: Integral air-cooled, water-cooled, or CAUTION: The manufacturer’s warranty does not remote air-cooled. It is important to verify the chiller cover the evaporator from freezing.
WARNING: Never deactivate the High Refrigerant temperature. If the temperature stays more than Pressure or the Low Compressor Pressure switch. 5°F away from the set point, there may be a Failure to heed this warning can cause serious problem with the chiller. If this is the case, refer compressor damage, severe personal injury, or death.
