Important information Disclaimer This Instruction Manual applies to all Optigo FMS air cooler products. Manual must be carefully examined and instructions should be followed up at all times. Alfa LU-VE does not accept liability for any damage resulting from non-compliance to the instructions as given in the manuals and order-related documents.
Health, safety and hygiene Ensure that the following guidelines are observed: • All work on the equipment must be carried out by trained personnel. • The electrical supply is suitable for the equipment supplied. • Refrigerant, temperature and pressure must agree with the data on the product label of the relevant heat exchanger.
Product description General information and application Optigo FMS is a commercial slim air coolers line for general application in small to medium-sized cooling and freezing rooms. All FMS models are characterised by a low silhouette for the efficient use of cold room space. •...

Transport and storage During transportation the heat exchanger must be handled with all required care. Any instruction or warning signs attached to the heat exchanger or the packaging must be followed. Avoid shocks or continuous vibrations during transport. These may cause damage to the product. If required, consult Alfa LU-VE and disassemble during transport any parts that are likely to be set into vibration.

Ensure that the cooler is not lifted directly onto the driptray or the finned coil. Utilizing the proper wooden transport beams and/or pallets prevents the cooler bending at the extremes such that the cooling circuit or other components are damaged. Lift the unit to mounting position and secure following instructions given in chapter "6...
Installation Mounting dimensions For FMS25 the driptray must be opened to FMS25 access the fixing points. FMS30 Model No. fans Coil type A (mm) FMS25 FMS30 FMS30 FMS30 FMS30 FMS30 1148 FMS30 1148 FMS30 1703 FMS30 1703 FMS30 2258 FMS30 2258 Coolers must be hung such that the coolers can contract and expand somewhat.
Mounting bracket Use suitable studs when mounting the unit to the ceiling. Fix the unit to cold room ceiling by securely FMS25: Ø 6 mm tightening nuts and washers. FMS30: Ø 8 mm Technical spaces Heat exchangers should be positioned such that the following criteria are met: •...
Refrigerant connections Do not adapt headers position to the suction line. All pipework and connections must be made in accordance with good refrigeration design and installation practice. Ensure that no stresses are transmitted to the pipework. All pipework should be adequately attached to the walls/ceilings of the cold room and not only to the cooler itself.
Pressure test Ts1=cold room air inlet temperature. Te=evaporating temperature. It is related to the refrigerant pressure on the unit cooler outlet. Trs=refrigerant superheat temperature, on suction line near thermostatic valve bulb. (Trs-Te)=superheat (Trs-Te) ≤ 0.7 x (Ts1-Te) Keep the superheat as low as possible to obtain maximum unit cooler performance.
Electrical connections All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the locally valid regulations and in conformance with good installation practice. The site supply voltage, frequency, accepted power rating and number of phases must comply with the details on the technical documentation. All electrical supply lines must be connected to the terminal boxes through suitable waterproof glands using bottom entry or, in case of horizontal installation, the cable is routed to form a water trap.
Fan motors connections The maximum load of the motors and the recommended settings for the overload relays are to be respected. The electrical control circuit should be arranged with a manual reset device in order to prevent continuous on/off switching (tripping) of the motors. Suppliers and manufacturers of electrical motors provide no guarantee for motors that are combusted through overload.
6.10 Defrost Always refer to the electrical scheme for both connections and nominal voltage of the electrical defrost option. Earth cable must always be wired and connected to the appropriate terminal in the connection box. Always refer to the electrical scheme order to identify the ground terminal. Warning about the neutral wire: it must be connected if indicated in the electrical scheme.

Maintenance It is essential after delivery that adequate protection and inspection are carried out on the equipment. This is especially important if there is any delay in installing or commissioning the equipment. After commissioning and setting up the defrost systems, the heat exchanger will require maintenance.
Electric defrost elements replacement Before handling heater elements always: • disconnect power supply • ensure heaters are at ambient temperature. Disconnect drain line. Open the driptray and side covers on both sides. Open side covers. Remove fixing clips (T), disconnect heater elements from connection box (P) and extract elements (E).
Fans Fans should be checked 3 months after commissioning and thereafter depending on operating conditions and as experience dictates, for any dirt build-up and/or unusual vibration, which could ultimately cause damage to the fan or to the heat exchanger itself. Ensure complete electrical isolation before removing fan guards.
Residual risks Sharp edges & corners • There is a substantial risk of injuries due to sharp edges and corners of coil and casing. Make sure to wear reliable protection during any handling of the unit and maintenance activities. • Drip tray Ensure the drip tray is empty before lowering or disassembling.
