INTRODUCTION FOREWORD This is one of the two manuals supplied with the machine in question. Some of the manuals are dedicated to the end user, others to the installer, thus the information they contain and their purposes are different. The following table gives the subjects discussed in the two manuals: Tab.1 MANUALS...

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS 1. Heat exchange bank Bank with 3 ranks made of copper pipe and aluminium finning locked together by mechanical expansion of the pipes. The manifolds in the upper part of the bank are equipped with air vents while the ones in the lower part have holes to drain out the water.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS - Option A (unit for system with two pipes) The technical data concerning efficiency in both the heating and cooling modes are given considering that the unit is operated at maximum fan speed. Adequate corrective coefficients can be used to determine the efficiency ratings at the medium and minimum speeds.
Page 14
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS - Option B (unit for system with 4 pipes) The considerations made for selection A are also valid when it comes to selecting for cold mode operation. In this case, evaluate how to supply supplementary bank BS-F2 envisaged as optional. Remember that the informa- tion in the documentation refers to the top speed of the fan, thus the required efficiency parameter must be calcu- lated again.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - COOLING EFFICIENCY Graph 1 gives an analysis of the cooling performances in operating conditions differing from the nominal ones. The values given refer to the maximum fan speed. The values corresponding to the medium and minimum speeds can be found by applying the corresponding corrective coefficients given in the table below.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - HEATING EFFICIENCY Graph 2 gives an analysis of the cooling performances in operating conditions differing from the nominal ones. The values given refer to the maximum fan speed. The values corresponding to the medium and minimum speeds can be found by applying the corresponding corrective coefficients given in the table below.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - HEATING EFFICIENCY OF SUPPLEMENTARY BANK Graph 3 gives an analysis of the cooling performances in operating conditions differing from the nominal ones. The values given refer to the maximum fan speed. The values corresponding to the medium and minimum speeds can be found by applying the corresponding corrective coefficients given in the table below.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS LOAD LOSSES ON WET SIDE The following graph gives the load losses measured on the triple rank bank installed in the fancoil unit. Graph 4 Water flow rate [l/h] The load losses shown in the previous figure concern an average water temperature of 10°C. The table below gives the loss correction factors measured as the average temperature varies.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS NOISE LEVEL The following table (Tab.9) gives the noise level performances of the entire fancoil range expressed as acoustic power level. The last column gives the acoustic pressure level in a 100 m room with a 0.5 second reverberation time.

ACCESSORIES CONTROL PANEL Two series of panels are available: for installation on the machine and for remote controlled wall mounted instal- lation. Each of the series includes three types of control: switch, basic thermostat and upgraded thermostat. FUNCTIONS The various functions available are listed below to allow the type of control model to be selected more quickly. These functions are described in the following pages.

ACCESSORIES 2.1: FAN THERMOSTAT ACTION In this case, the valve is not used (hot or cold water flows freely into the bank) and thermoregulation occurs by tur- ning the fan on or off. This regulation is associated with both the heat and cool modes. To prevent the ambient probe from making reading errors, the PERIODIC VENTILATION function is activated in both the cool and heat modes.
Page 32
ACCESSORIES Valve management includes an ON/OFF control with valve shut signal when the set-point has been reached accor- ding to the hysteresis cycles of the heating/cooling graphs. The valves required are the normally closed type with endothermic actuators and opening/closing times of approx. 3 minutes. The fan is managed with the time settings described in the VENTILATION CONTROL section in order to keep the ambient temperature constantly monitored.
Page 33
ACCESSORIES Valve ON Water temp.in °C Heating element ON Detail of heating element/valve commutation Notes: - If the thermoregulator transfers HEAT management from the electric heating elements to the water valve, delayed ventilation activation of 180 seconds will not occur and the fan will be permanently activated (since the air is kept warm by the heating elements until the valve opens).
ACCESSORIES 3: VENTILATION CONTROL Fan management with the basic and upgraded thermostats depends on the selected operating mode (cool, heat, heating elements): - Fan speed: If the fans are activated, their speed may be: • Manually selected by the user; •...

ACCESSORIES 3.1: PERIODIC VENTILATION If the control is installed on the machine and the fan is off because the thermostat function has been complied with, there are fan ON/OFF cycles to allow the air probe to detect the effective temperature in the environment. This func- tion is activated in both heat and cool mode.
