11 - MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER PUMPS 11.1 - Pump 1 Pump 1 is assigned to the main hydraulic network. Therefore, it is used in all configurations: - If P2 = air-to-water or reversible air-to-water and P25 = 2, it will be managed alternately with Pump 2. The pump that has run for the shortest amount of time starts up first. - Otherwise, the pumps may be turned on using the On/Off button (and automatic operation control input closed). The pump is shut off 1 minute after the last control stage turns off.
11 - MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER PUMPS 11.5 - Actuation of variable-speed pump 1 on water-to-water machines via the 0/10V output: Addition of functions necessary for actuation of pump 1 (indoor network), not supplied, in variable speed mode using a 0/10V output with a PID algorithm.

12 - WINTER PROTECTION 12.1 - Frost protection of pumps and heat exchangers while unit is off This function protects the pump(s) and the heat exchanger(s) from freezing. The heater and heat trace cable outputs are enabled only when P2 = air-to-water and reversible air-to-water. P265 becomes visible if P2 = air-to-water and reversible air-to-water 12.1.1 - Use with pure water: If P52 ≥...
13 - MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNCTIONS 13.1 - Management of the compressor protections 13.1.1 - Short-cycle protection : Information from compressor manufacturer: Compressors are not allowed to start more than 12 times an hour (on/off time of 5 minutes and minimum of 3 minutes between starts). The on time + off time will be adjustable via parameter P50.
13 - MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNCTIONS 13.3.1 - With balanced tandem compressors : Before stages are turned on, the runtime of each stage is always checked so that the stage that has run the least is started first. When only one of the two compressors on each circuit is running, it is turned off after 4 hours and the other compressor is turned on. ►...
13 - MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNCTIONS 13.5 - Management of the reversing valves The reversing valves are fitted on reversible units only. They are managed by the following convention: - In cooling mode: the reversing valves are supplied. - In heating mode: the reversing valve are not supplied. The supply to the reversing valves is cut off 30 minutes after the last stage on the corresponding circuit is turned off.
14 - SELF-ADJUSTING FUNCTIONS These functions allow the machine to adjust itself to certain occasionally extreme operating conditions and thus avoid stops caused by faults. 14.1 - Self-adjusting function: water frost limit ► Operation : - Before shutting down after a fault occurs, the unit reduces its power by turning off a stage (if there are two on the circuit), or by reducing the compressor to half speed.
14 - SELF-ADJUSTING FUNCTIONS 14.4 - Self-adjusting function: discharge protection, circuit 1 or 2 ► Operation : - Before shutting down after a circuit fault occurs, the unit reduces its power for 30 minutes by turning off a stage. - The threshold is detected by the discharge sensor at value P51 and the stage that was turned off is returned to normal operation after 30 minutes.
15 - FAULT FUNCTIONS 15.1 - Water frost limit fault on circuits 1 and 2 ► Operation : - Should the self-adjusting function be insufficient, a fault will occur on the unit when the temperature measured on the heat exchanger water outlet is at P52 (measured for 15 seconds, or P52 – 1 K). ■...
15 - FAULT FUNCTIONS ■ If this fault causes more than 3 shutdowns in 24 hours : - Corresponding circuit shut off. - Fault output on - Frost protection fault relay on optional board in On position - Circuit fault LED on console lit steady - Boiler on if P111 = Boiler and heating mode.
15 - FAULT FUNCTIONS ► Display : D . T E M P F A U L T x x m n C U T ( S ) 2 4 H ■ If this fault causes more than 5 shutdowns in 24 hours : - Corresponding circuit shut off.
15 - FAULT FUNCTIONS 15.6 - Management of superheat faults The superheat temperature on the suction end of each circuit can be monitored by comparing the LP saturation temperature to the suction temperature. This protection is enabled by setting P43 to ‘Yes’ (No by default). It protects the compressor(s) from excessively low or high superheat values.
16 - CONTROLS 16.1 - Main control in cooling and heating modes ■ Definition and principle : The chilled water and hot water temperatures are measured and compared with the setpoint value. Depending on the result, the compressor stages are turned on or off. This check is performed on the heat exchanger’s water outlet (water supply = PIDτ) or water inlet (water return). 16.1.1 - Operating mode selection (P119) : - If P119 = 1 (Cooling) Cooling only.
16 - CONTROLS - When an operating mode reaches its end temperature setpoint in automatic mode, the following message is displayed until a mode is turned on : D E A D B A N D A U T O H E A T I N G / C O O L I N G The two heating and cooling LEDs flash while this message is displayed.

16 - CONTROLS 16.5 - Storage control If P154 = No → The control mode remains standard and may be adjusted to the return or supply line depending on the value of P141 (control mode). If P154 = Yes → Storage control is enabled. The control mode is managed based on the setpoint selected: - If setpoint 1 is selected, the control remains standard and the mode (supply or return) is selected by P141 (control mode). - If setpoint 2 is selected, the control automatically switches to ‘return with storage’ mode. This type of control makes it possible to generate maximum capacity at a given time, often when electricity is cheapest.
16 - CONTROLS 16.6.3 - Management of the setpoint based on the outdoor temperature : The water controls in COOLING and heating mode are activated by default (P127 and P131 are set to “Yes” by default). Gradients are managed during operation with two setpoints in the following manner: Depending on the outdoor temperature, the water control with setpoint 2 is parallel to the control set using setpoint 1.
17 - CONTROL OF CONDENSING PRESSURE FOR AIR-COOLED UNITS 17.1 - Control during normal operation or on/off control ► In heating mode : All the fan stages are turned on at maximum speed: - Once a compressor stage is running on the unit when P11 = intertwined - Once a compressor stage is running on the circuit when P11 = split.

22 - MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL 22.1 - Case of two parallel-connected machines For a master/slave setup involving two parallel-connected machines, the machines must be connected by a bus link and one must be designated as the master machine in control of the slave machine. Menu 12 (Master/Slave) appears when parameter P28 is set to ‘Yes’.
Page 105
22 - MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL ► Balancing of runtimes : - After every 50 hours of machine operation, the system switches to the machine which has operated the least in order to balance the runtimes. - While the system is on (and before it is shut off), compare the time counters of the machines that are running and change the order number so that the machine with the longest runtime is shut off first.
Page 106
22 - MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL 22.1.4 - Controls : ► Operating mode : Note : The slave machine’s operation is determined by the master unit (P119). If P28 = Yes, its operation cannot be changed via the corresponding on/off input, via the console or because of the outdoor temperature. - If the slave machine has a different P119 value than the master machine (e.g.

22 - MASTER/SLAVE CONTROL B) Control in parallel with "shifted setpoint": Stage Machine 1 Machine 1 P805 Stage Machine 2 Machine 2 Machine 1 adjusts itself to the master machine’s setpoint. Machine 2’s setpoint is shifted by the value of P805. Thus, the machine 2’s setpoint 2 is machine 1’s setpoint + P805.
23 - ACTUATION OF THE ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE 23.1 - With Alco driver and display Only fault feedback signals from the valve are managed in this case 23.2 - With VCM driver This configuration corresponds to using the electronic expansion valve with the VCM expansion board and on which the ALCO EXV miniboard with the software is connected. When P42 is set to this value, the control and view parameters for the Alco electronic expansion valve can be accessed. The compressor on/off signals authorising the expansion valve to move, as well as the low temperature and suction temperature signals, will be transmitted over a bus link.

24 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONTROL OF AN INVERTER COMPRESSOR - Parameters P195 (ΔP for power reduction) and P144 (interstage differential) are visible even though there is just one compressor. P144 (interstage differential) has an adjustment range of 0.5 to 10°C. - Parameters P145, P146, P147 and P148 are hidden if P7 = INVERTER and supply control is selected. On the other hand, when P141 = supply or return, parameters P143 and P144 remain visible and are set to a default value of 1.5°C. - Output 3 (stage 2, circuit) on terminal block J3 on the motherboard is used to inform the variable speed drive of any faults requiring the compressor to be shut off.

24 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONTROL OF AN INVERTER COMPRESSOR D) Compressor driver fault : Terminals 2-3 on terminal block J5 on the controller motherboard receive signals indicating faults on the Danfoss compress driver. Only alarms that shut down the compressor are received. When contact 4-6 on the driver opens, the driver is in alarm mode.
25 - DEFROSTING OF THE EVAPORATOR COILS An optimised frosting control system has been developed : Called DEGIPAC (P159 = optimised), it defrosts the evaporator coils only when frost has actually formed on them instead of based on the frosting time (P159 = fixed). It does so by continuously monitoring the difference in temperature between the coil and the outdoor air. If this difference is abnormally high, it turns on the defrost cycle. DEGIPAC makes it possible to continue producing hot water for hours during cold, dry weather without having to defrost the coils.
