As well, STULZ Prodigy IRow conditioners cannot be used outside safety limits specified on the name-plate. Conditioners must not be transported or used in positions that differ from those for which they were designed.
Humidity Component layout STULZ Prodigy IRow units are installed between two server racks in open loop configuration. They take air from a hot aisle of the room, cool and deliver it to a cold aisle, where it is sucked in by the server rack fans.

Working modes Cooling Air is sucked in by the radial fans, is filtered (only in open loop units) and then it is cooled passing through the chilled water heat exchanger. After treatment, air is delivered through the frontal opening. Cooling capacity is modulated by SEC.blue in different ways, acting on the 3-way valve and / or on the fan speed, according to the temperature measured by the return probes.
Hydraulic circuit components Air-to-water heat exchanger It is made of copper pipes and aluminium fins. In this coil, heat is exchanged between inner air and chilled water. It is not suitable to either corrosive or saline environments. Surface has hydrophilic treatment. 2-way modulation valve 2-way valve is used when CW unit is connected to a chilled water distribution system with variable flow;...
STULZ engineering division department. STULZ conditioners come with a set of devices designed to ensure proper operation. Tripping by any one of these automatic safety devices is a sign of a malfunction and it is absolutely necessary to eliminate the cause.

SEC.Blue I/O CONTROLLER This microprocessor-based electronic board is equipped with a set of terminals which are necessary to connect the board to the controlled devices (e.g. valves, compressors, fans). Software with working logic and parameter settings are written in the EEPROM so that they remain permanently stored even in case of power failure.
4. Unpacking and inspection INSPECTION STULZ products are delivered ex-works. All units have been individually inspected in all their components and been carefully packaged before the delivery. Immediately inspect the unit upon receipt of the goods: • Make sure that it has been transported in the correct position. Note any unsuitable shipping conditions on the shipping document.

5. Installation Positioning the unit iRow air conditioners are not provided with either lateral or top or door panels. Therefore, they must be installed inside a frame with suitable protection. In open loop version they must be installed between two server racks. Installation at an end of a row is not recommended because there is a mix of hot and cold air.
Page 25
In closed loop version they must be installed beside a rack. A closed air circuit must be created between the rack and the unit, installing suitable plenums. A/C unit Server rack Furthermore, check that: • there’s room enough for an easy installation and maintenance of the unit: please check dimensional drawings, with particular attention to the accessibility of water connections and wiring.
Hydraulic connection Prodigy RAW air conditioners must be connected to a circuit with chilled water, including either a chiller or a dry cooler or a cooling tower. For chilled water circulation, pumps have to be provided. These pumps must be selected according to total pressure losses through the hydraulic circuit. Pressure losses through RAW air conditioners are shown in the technical data sheet at the end of this manual.

Coefficient of correction for pressure losses through the hydraulic circuit, using monoethylene glycol. chilled water average temperature Hydraulic connections in RAW units are screw type, with 1” diameter for all models. Holes for water pipes are placed both on the base and on the top panel of the unit. When pipes pass from the top, loosen the ring nut of water connectors on the unit and rotate them by 180°...

In case some gaskets are missing, use always glycole-proof rubber gaskets. Apply teflon gasket on the nipple and tighten it to the female connector on the unit. Application of Teflon gasket (not supplied) to the nipple Insulate water pipes with anti-diffusion material, to avoid heat exchange with ambient air and consequent condensation of humidity in it on the pipes.
Condensate drain connection Condensate drain connector is placed on the rear side of the drain pan, under the CW coil. Connection diameter is 16 mm for all models. If condensate pump is not present, a PVC pipe with 0,3 m length is provided. This pipe has to be routed outside the unit through the opening on its base used also for pipes and electric cables.
Electric connections It's absolutely necessary, before making any connections, to check the supply voltage with a tester. The voltage that is measured must correspond with the voltage indicated on the unit label. The installer must install, upstream from the unit, an isolating switch with fuse and capacity as specified on the label in order to permit maintenance on the machine with total absence of electricity.

• The electric box is supplied loose on the top of the unit. It is provided with 4 lateral inserts for fixation to the rack frame. The electric box is plugged to internal components of the unit. When inserting the unit into the rack, it is possible to unplug the electric box and put it into the rack in a second moment.
Connections and power supply plate: Connector RJ45 for Ethernet (see paragraph 5.6) Connector RJ11 for Telemonitoring (see paragraph 5.5) Telemonitoring Telemonitoring net is via RJ11 connector. Units have to be linked each other in a serial RS485 net using pin-to-pin phone cables of the following type: data cable 2CP AWG24 with modular phone plug 6/4.
MODBUS PROTOCOL Set parameter C.4.3.1.1.3 to MODBUS 2015 The SEC.blue controller can communicate with the software installed on host computer which displays the setup parameters, the controller states and alarms. The parameter C.4.3.1.1.3 sets the protocol for the RJ11 connector of the board. In the system (see figure below) there is no gateway managing the communication.
6. Start-up Before you first start up the system install and connect it up as described in the “Installation” chapter. • Make sure the main switch is turned off and that the system is isolated from power mains. • Check that all power switches in the electric system have been turned off. •...
7. Maintenance Safety instructions Installation and intervention on air conditioners must be made in full compliance with specific national regulations for accident prevention, with particular reference on electric and refrigerant equipment. Failure to comply with these regulations might be dangerous to people and environment.
Preventive maintenance program Every month • WATER CIRCUIT: check tightness of the circuit. Every 3 months • AIR FILTERS (only in open loop models): check the condition of the filters and replace them if necessary (dirty filter alarm). • HEAT EXCHANGERS: check that the heat exchangers are efficient and not clogged or dirty. •...

Push the bracket up and extract it. Then the filter can be removed. Spare filters must have filtering medium with the same thickness and density as the original one. A A set of spare filters can be ordered to your local STULZ service partner. E/iROW-CW/0421/44...
Water circuit Check visually tightness of water circuit. In addition, a level indicator in the water tank (if present), can be useful to see changes of water quantity. Water going out of water circuit is replaced by air, which reduces cooling capacity of the unit and might damage circulation pump. General appliance cleaning procedures Never use caustic or acid substances to clean any part of the conditioner.

10. Accessories / options Condensate pump installed inside the unit – CONDPUMP 10.1 A pump is installed inside the unit when condensate evacuation by gravity is not possible. With condensate pump, the opening for cable and pipes passage through the base cannot be used.
Troubleshooting Fault: Pump runs all the time 1. Is float positioned with the magnet uppermost? 2. Is the reservoir lid (sensor) located firmly onto the reservoir, with the float located inside the reservoir, around the sensor column? 3. Is there sludge inside the reservoir, preventing float from resting on the bottom? (This may occur if pump has been in operation for some time without cleaning.
11. Technical data Notes on technical data sheets: Nominal conditions Closed loop: return air temperature 45°C / RH 15% Open loop: return air temperature 30°C / RH 30% EWT (all models) = 7°C Water dT (all models) = 5°C Gross cooling capacities (including power dissipated by fans) Refrigerant: water without additives Total pressure losses through the water circuit inside the unit.
