- The Aero-connect parameters are preceded by the letter A to differentiate them from the Xtraconnect 2 parameters. - If a dry cooler equipped with its Aero-connect console is connected to Xtraconnect 2 and P116 is set to 'Yes', neither console has priority over the other.
This on/off input detects a low water flow through the evaporator of the machine that is operating (automatic machine control input closed). Operation in cooling mode: - This input must be read 10 second after pump 1 is started (or pump 2 if P24 = Yes and P25 = 2. Case of CIAT hydraulic module with two pumps).
6.5 Phase controller fault The phase controller protects the entire machine. It must be wired to terminals 7-8 on terminal block J5 on the motherboard. The machine is shut off when a fault occurs on the phase controller (contact opens. Fault message: M A C H I N E S T O P P E D...

● Operation : - If the pressure measured by the LP pressure transmitter is ≤ P55, the Xtraconnect 2 controller records an LP fault. - The low pressure is monitored 120 seconds after the compressor starts up (it is also monitored when the compressor is stopped).
6.14 Minimum desuperheat discharge fault ● Operation: - This function monitors the compressor desuperheat temperature (prevents slugging). - The minimum superheat temperature is calculated by the following equation: (discharge temperature – condensing temperature). - The minimum superheating discharge threshold is stored in parameter P56. - The fault is taken into account 15 minutes after the compressor is turned on.
► Fault after 3 minutes (P2 = 2 and outdoor temperature below –10°C) - The second check for this fault is taken into account 3 minutes after the compressor starts if HP-LP < 3 bar for 5 seconds (fault not managed when compressor stopped).
● If a temporary fault occurs: - Fault not stored in memory if a mains power failure occurs. - Fault stored in fault memory. - The minimum or maximum superheat fault relay on the relay board is in the Off position. During test mode, the time delays are counted down in seconds, not minutes.
► Fault detection values: - 10 K sensors: short circuit fault if < –40°C. Sensor cut (or sensor - 50 K sensors: short circuit fault if < 5°C and the unit has been missing) if > 99°C. running for 5 minutes. Sensor cut (or sensor missing) if > 148°C. ►...

This function is activated by assigning the three-way valve value to parameter P26 (programmable output). The valve must be connected between terminals 2 (0 V) and 3 (10 V) on terminal block J4 on expansion board 3 (ADD3) of the Xtraconnect 2.
17.1 Operating principle: The master machine sends the following information to the slave machine: - On/off. - Heating/cooling mode - Control temperature. The master machine will not have access to detailed information about the slave machine (fault details, operation readings, unit parameters, reading parameters, etc.) and vice versa.
Corresponding message on each machine: W A T E R T E M P E R A T U R E M A I N T A I N 3 0 ° In cooling mode: - This function is possible if P142 on the master machine = Yes, the units are set to On, and the automatic operation control inputs on both machines are open.
The parameters that determine when the other stages turn on and off remain managed by each machine. The value of P806 will have to be selected based on machine 1 in order to achieve an operating order similar to the start-up of the last stage (see figure previous page).{ •...
18.2 Operating mode The operating mode cannot be changed while the machine is running unless P119 = 5 (automatic machine control or automatic pump control input open, or On/Off set to Off). If the unit is turned back on while P119 is being modified, the parameter closes and returns to its initial value. ►...
18.3 Control setpoint calculation 18.3.1 Fixed setpoint ► If P120 = 1 (1 setpoint) ● In cooling mode: - If P127 = No or outdoor sensor fault, control setpoint = P12 - If P127 = Yes (law based on outdoor temperature) and there are no outdoor sensor faults, fixed setpoint (Tout) is calculated using P121 ●...

Proportional control (P coefficient): X2 - Setpoint Proportional control is the difference, or error (e), between the measurement and the setpoint when the controller time delay equals 0. It is corrected (multiplied) by the P coefficient. Proportional control accelerates the response to the measurement depending on the difference between the measurement and the setpoint. On its own, it does not reduce the difference between the measurement and the setpoint when the load on the loop is stable.
18.5 Water return control for storage (CRISTOPIA) This type of control makes it possible to generate a maximum amount of capacity during a given period, often when electricity is cheapest. All the circuits are turned on in turn at 10 second intervals and adjusted to setpoint 2 (P122) and the P155 differential. This type of control is only possible in cooling mode.
18.7 Automated self-regulating control This type of control adjusts the operation of the unit at the head end of the system. If the compressor stops after running for less than 5 minutes, the compressor stage cut-in value is changed but the cut-out points remain unchanged.

The condensing pressure on the machine in module 1 is controlled exactly as described in the previous section. The condensing pressure on the machine in module 2 is controlled exactly like a six-stage circuit with four V-frame modules: On/Off control with 4 V-frame condenser fan modules = 6 single-speed stages: Module 2: refrigerating circuit 3 ...
High pressure operation: If the condensing pressure is greater than the control HP limit (P54), Xtraconnect 2 forces the compressor to lower its capacity while running. When the high pressure drops to below 98% of P54, the HP limitation remains on but the compressor is not requested to do anything (intake and exhaust valves left closed).
