ACC’s “D” series, which has been successfully present in the market since 1984, and has had sales of 15 million units. GD30FDC can be powered at any voltage within the 12 to 42V DC range, and is designed for capillary tube expansion. Each unit is supplied with a dedicated electronic driver (FDC1), which features all the protections for both the battery and the driver itself, including the compressor motor.

Maximum comfort and minimum energy consumption are thus achieved. GD30FDC starting capability is as low as 10V under any balanced pressure. It also admits a certain remaining di erential pressure when thermostat o -time is abnormally short. For improving even more the starting capability, FDC1 electronic driver is supplied with a 3 minutes minimum thermostat o -time.
WIRING AND CONNECTIONS General rules GD30FDC must always be powered through the dedicated electronic driver FDC1, which is supplied with the compressor as a separate device. NEVER CONNECT THE COMPRESSOR’S HERMETIC PINS (FUSITE) TO THE TERMINALS OF A BATTERY OR ANY OTHER DC OR AC SOURCE DIRECTLY.

RJ11 telephone type connector. This port allows the electronic driver to be connected to a computer for programming purposes using the FDC programming package (hardware and software) provided by ACC under request. Optionally, the SPI can be con gured to: Install a LED to display the intervention of any alarm.
Fig. 3. SPI terminals OPERATING VOLTAGE GD30FDC is designed to operate in a wide range of DC voltages, supplied either by a battery or by any other kind of ltered DC power supply. DC VOLTAGE SUPPLY ALLOWED: 10V to 42.4V...
Voltage limits are set up by means of a PC through its serial port connected to the electronic driver’s SPI. It can be done by ACC or by the customer itself using the FDC programming package.
It is possible to operate the compressor at xed or variable speed under di erent running modes, options and parameters. The electronic driver is supplied by ACC with standard running mode and external control of the speed, with minimum speed of 1,500 rpm and maximum speed 3,500 rpm.

The EIM communicates how the compressor should operate and, eventually, records and displays any abnormal circumstance that might occur. For details about the communication protocol, please, contact ACC. IF ANY VARIABLE SPEED MODE IS TO BE PROGRAMMED, CHECK CAREFULLY FOR TUBES, CONDENSER AND EVAPORATOR RESONANCES.
