4. UNIT OVERVIEW Description of the unit The unit comprises a pumping station and a distribution system to spray fi nely atomised water. The minute droplets of water evaporate spontaneously at the expense of the energy of the air, which is consequently cooled and reaches the fi nned coil at below-ambient temperature.
Packaging contents When opening the packaging, make sure that the components illustrated in Fig. 4.a. and the accessories in Fig. 4.b are present and intact: • kit of screws with anchors for wall mounting (inside the cabinet) (a - Fig. 4.c); •...
Description of the controls Ref. Component Function ON/OFF switch Used to switch the unit ON (position I) and OFF (position O). Black button Simulates the remote ON command (closure of contacts 1-2). Used during commissioning if the ON command from the external con- troller is not available.

7. COMMISSIONING Preliminary checks Before starting the unit, check the following: 7.1.1 Cabinet • Cabinet (3 - Fig. 7.a) installed on a level surface • Cabinet (3 - Fig. 7.b) protected against direct sunlight. • Make sure that the cap on the automatic air vent valve (15 - Fig. 7.b) is NOT tightened. •...
Start-up procedure 1. Open the manual valve (1 - Fig. 7.a) on the feedwater line and power on the unit. 2. Switch the unit on by moving the disconnect switch (1a - Fig. 7.b) to position I. 3. Start the system by closing contacts 1-2 (automatic via external control, manual via black button, 1b - Fig. 7.b) 4.
8. UNIT OPERATION Normal operation The unit normally operates automatically based on the request from the system it is installed in. Once the disconnect switch (1a - fi g .4.3) has been set to position I (ON) and the circuit breaker has been reset, the unit and its electrical panel will be powered by the power line and, in the versions where featured (AC******1*), the UV lamp electrical panel will also be powered.
Switching the lamp on and off The lamp electrical panel (Fig. 9.a) cannot switch on or off independently with respect to the unit, as it does not have its own power button; nonetheless, the lamp can be switched off in one of the ways shown below: •...
9.3.2 Settings menu Use the arrow buttons to scroll between the screens in the settings menu. The following items have settings that can be changed: ON delay OFF delay Press OK to set the switch-on delay. The value is ex- Press OK to set the remote switch-off de- pressed in seconds.
10. MAINTENANCE DANGER: • always wear protective gloves during maintenance operations. • poor maintenance, removal or modifi cation of safety devices and/or the use of non-original spare parts can cause serious or fatal injuries to operators or third parties and unit malfunctions. Carry out systematic preventive maintenance annually or at the start of each season.
10.5 Checking the UV lamp Check the status of the UV lamp every month on the lamp control panel (Fig. 9.b). Specifi cally, check: • the remaining lamp operating hours (see par. 9.3) shown on the display; • that the alarm LED is not on (see par. 9.3.4). 10.6 Replacing the UV lamp DANGER: Make sure that the unit is not powered and the disconnect switch (1a - Fig.
10.7 Replacing the pump DANGER: Make sure that the unit is not powered and the disconnect switch (1a - Fig. 4.c) is in position O. Every 3 months, visually inspect the pump (9 -Fig. 4.a) and replace it if necessary, proceeding as illustrated below: 1.
