ZX CDU connected to XWEBPRO ZX CDU connected to the Dixell XWEBPRO with the Intelligent Store solution module using RS485 ModBUS. Connect the ZX CDU to the ModBUS network as shown below. Connect the network cable to the three-terminal connector on the XWEB port that has been configured as ModBUS port (COM 12, 13, 14).
11. Installation, System Processing and Commissioning Utmost care must be taken while handling the Large ZX condensing unit. Please go through the contents below to ensure proper handling. 11.1 Location and Fixing Large ZX should always be installed in a location that ensures clean air flow. The minimum operating space for unit is described in below figure.
Page 23
The pipe should be sized to ensure optimum performance and proper oil return. The sizing must also consider the full capacity range through which this particular unit will need to operate. Pipe runs should be kept as short as possible, using the minimum number of directional changes.
Page 24
11.5 Brazing Recommendation Maintain a flow of oxygen-free nitrogen through the system at a very low pressure during brazing. Nitrogen displaces the air and prevents the formation of copper oxides in the system. If copper oxidization is allowed to form, the copper oxide material can later be swept through the system and block screens such as those protecting capillary tubes, thermal expansion valves, and accumulator oil return holes.
Page 25
11.6 Start-up & Operation 11.6.1 Initial pressure test (vby vacuum and Nitrogen) Step-by-step 1. Use a 4-port gauge manifold with 3/8” hose and connections to the vacuum pump. The vacuum gauge does not have to be connected for this part of the process.
Page 26
8. Check and record the ambient temperatures and the system pressure with calibrated approved instruments. This process is to be carried out every 8-12 hours during the pressure testing process. 9. If the test pressures cannot be maintained, repeat the leak testing process employing the isolation of sections of the system to determine the source of leaks.

11.6.5 Additional Oil Charing in the System Additional Oil Charing in the System - Emerson Large ZX units are supplied with oil charge in the compressor as well as the oil separator / reservoir. However, depends on the length of interconnecting piping and the refrigerant charge in the system, there might be additional oil requirement.
Page 28
11.6.6 Checks before starting and during running the system 1. Check all the valved are fully opened 2. Check the oil level of compressor and the reservoir after running the unit for some time. 3. Check the discharge line temperature which is to be below 125 °C. 4.
