Configuration ▪ "20.2.2 Field setting components" [ 117] ▪ "20.2.3 To access the field setting components" [ 118] PC configurator For VRV IV heat recovery system it is alternatively possible to make several commissioning field settings through a personal computer interface (for this, option EKPCCAB* is required). The installer can prepare the configuration (off-site) on PC and afterwards upload the configuration to the system.
Configuration 20.2.3 To access the field setting components It is not required to open the complete electronic component box to access the push buttons on the PCB and read out the 7‑segment display(s). To access you can remove the front inspection cover of the front plate (see figure). Now you can open the inspection cover of the electrical component box front plate (see figure).
Configuration Stage Display When no trouble occurs: lighted as indicated (8~10 min). Ready for operation: blank display indication as indicated. 7‑segment display indications: Blinking In case of malfunction, the malfunction code is displayed on the indoor unit user interface and the outdoor unit 7‑segment display. Solve the malfunction code accordingly.
Configuration Example: Checking the content of parameter [1‑10] (to know how many indoor units are connected to the system). [A‑B]=C in this case defined as: A=1; B=10; C=the value we want to know/monitor: 1 Make sure the 7‑segment display indication is in the default situation (normal operation).
Configuration 2 Push BS1 for over 5 seconds. Result: Mode 2 is accessed: 3 Push BS2 12 times. Result: Mode 2 setting 12 is addressed: 4 Push BS3 1 time; the value which is returned (depending on the actual field situation), is the status of the setting. In the case of [2‑12], default value is "0", which means the function is not active.
Configuration ▪ The second method is to enable power consumption limitation based on an external input. For this operation an optional accessory is required. [1‑5] [1‑6] Shows: ▪ [1‑5]: The current T target parameter position. ▪ [1‑6]: The current T target parameter position.
