During operation with a constant supply air temperature, free cooling is inactive as the heating coils are still in use (except on the deadband). When operating in free cooling mode, the supply air temperature is not controlled. It is important to configure an outdoor temperature low limit (screen p17) which is sufficiently high to ensure no discomfort is caused.

Connector J3 Supply air temperature sensor B4 The temperature of the air supplied to the room can be regulated based on the setpoint (if selected) 20 seconds after the fans are turned on. Common for B4 Fresh air (return air) temperature sensor B5 The fresh air temperature sensor protects the heat exchanger from the risk of frost by adjusting the stages of the electric pre-heater (depending on unit configuration), adjusting the bypass for the plate heat exchanger and indicating the fault (+ LED).

If the filter is clogged, the unit is shut off and the corresponding faults are displayed and the LED lights up. If the filter is dirty, the corresponding fault is displayed and the LED lights up, but the unit is not shut off.

pCO3 address Address of the controller on the pLAN communication network to the user terminal pLAN network state When the system starts up, the pLAN network may encounter a number of problems (card fault and terminal start-up) caused by incorrect connections or a wrong address. The state of the pLAN network can be displayed in real time on this special mask in order to identify which devices (controller or terminal) are correctly connected and addressed.

Managing a network of controllers The pLAN network (personal Local Area Network) is the name of the physical network that links controllers to remote HMI terminals. The connection of the controllers via the pLAN network allows the datapoints of one controller to be exchanged for another, following the logic set out by the program, i.e.
Addressing the pLAN Once the controllers are connected over the pLAN network, the controllers and the terminals must be addressed. There is a range of 32 possible addresses (binary logic). As a result, a total of 32 controllers and terminals can be connected over the pLAN network.
If the "setting" field is set to '0', the terminal will use the Point-to-Point Protocol (not the pLAN) to communicate with the controller and the "I/O board address: 07" field will disappear as it will not be necessary. 3.3.2 Assigning private and shared terminals Follow the procedure below if, at this point, it is necessary to change the list of terminals associated with each controller: •...
Replacing the lithium battery The lithium battery must be replaced by the customer when the notification alarm appears, approximately 10 years after the unit is commissioned on site. Once the replacement has been carried out, do not forget to reset the battery check (screen tp1) Supervision The controller may be connected to a local or remote supervision PC or to most types of CMS (Modbus, Lonworks, KNX).
