OPTICLIMATE REVOMAX II Classic PRO Series Style Housing
Installation spacing
To guarantee proper air suction, leave at least 15cm of space between the wall
and the backside of the unit, where the carbon & dust filters and air inlet
are located. At least 15cm of space should also be left between the topside of
the unit and the ceiling. Larger spaces are preferred. The unit must stand
free from the wall to avoid contact noises.
Installation
The unit can be hung from a ceiling or placed on a stand or frame.
Ceiling
To hang the unit from a ceiling, remove both side panels and pinch a hole
through the insulation at the position of the 4 holes in the bottom of the
unit. Use an M8 or M10 metal threaded rod with a nut, washer and rubber damper
to prevent unwanted noise or vibration.
Stand or frame
Make or buy a stand or frame to hold the weight of the Opticlimate. (see
nameplate )
You can use the rubber damper or a vibration damper (not included)
Pinch a hole through the insulation at the position of the 4 holes in the
bottom of the unit. Use an M8 bolt and washer to mount the rubber or
damper.
Make sure the side of the condensation outlet is 1 cm lower than the opposite side.
Routing the Cables
First, the panel at the left side near the manometer should be removed to make the various electrical connections. A magnetic valve, water leakage sensor, automatic moisture meter, remote control and room temperature sensor are supplied with the unit. Their cables can be led to the outside through the opening at the bottom of the panel. The power cable for the power supply can be led through the black feed-through rubber at the side of the unit.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electric solenoid valve
The plug of the solenoid valve should be connected using the black cable
supplied with the unit, as shown in the illustration below.
The other end of the cable is connected to the circuit board
(see picture). The third connection of the solenoid valve can be used as
earthing.
Water leakage sensor
The connection set contains a loose, 5m long white wire: the water leakage
sensor. This sensor is connected to the terminal on the printed circuit-board.
The sensor cable should be led to the outside through the opening in the panel
and should be placed on the ground at the lowest point. The end of the sensor
cable can be split into several cores using a connector, so that more than one
point is secured against leakage. If the sensor has a black cap, this should
be cut back and stripped 5mm and the cores should be stripped. Connect the
other side to the little white plug on the printed circuit-board as shown in
the illustration. In case of water leakage, the water supply will be stopped
immediately by means of the electrical valve in the water pipe.
Automatic Humidity Sensor with
light cell
The automatic moisture meter with built-in light cell supplied with the unit
is already connected. The cable should be led through the opening in the
panel. The automatic moisture meter should be hung in the room and may NOT be
covered. The light cell in the automatic moisture meter automatically switches
the OptiClimate from day to night mode.
Room temperature sensor
The compartment also has a room temperature sensor, which is already connected
to the printed circuit-board. This sensor should be led to the outside through
the opening in the panel and should be hung at the level of the upper side of
the vegetation. The sensor should be protected against heat radiation but must
be put in the shade. A protective cover over the sensor is sufficient.
The Smart Remote Controller
The remote control contained in the compartment can be hung in the room but
can also be hung elsewhere. This way the OptiClimate can also be controlled
from outside the room. The four-remote cable is already connected and should
be led to the outside through the opening in the panel.
POWER SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS
4 different OptiClimate models are
available. For your safety and the safety of the OptiClimate, the following
specifications should be observed when connecting the power supply: use the
circuit breakers (MCB) and cable thickness specified. The cables for the
supply voltage should be led through the grommet at the side of the unit and
connected to the green screw terminal on the circuit board as described in the
illustration. The grounding can be connected to the PE at the bottom right of
the metal back plate.
When it’s not possible to use a 3
phase power supply but only a single phase power supply is available the phase
L1 + L2 + L3 need to be looped using a correct diameter wire. (only 6000 and
10000 models)
High temperature safeguard
Using this safeguard, the OptiClimate can switch off the heat sources (e.g.
lamps) when the temperature in a room becomes too high. The unit has a
terminal that can be connected to the timer of a control panel, for example.
The feed wire running to the switch in the timer should be interrupted for
this purpose. Terminal 1, for example, is for a Grasslin clock and terminal 4
for a LeGrand timer.
The two ends should be connected to
terminals 15 & 16 on the terminal strip in the electrical compartment of the
OptiClimate. The OptiClimate supplies the power for the timer. The OptiClimate
supplies the power for the timer. If the room temperature exceeds 35°C, the
OptiClimate will interrupt the circuit, switching off the heat sources. ERROR
15 is then displayed on the remote control. Always refer to the timer
manufacturer’s manual if a model other than the one shown is used.
TEMPERATURE SAFEGUARDS
Water-in and water-out connections of the cooling water.
The unit can be used by connecting the water in and out connections to a cold
water supply and a drain or can be used using the Opticlimate water cooler to
cool the water in a closed loop. (connections and description of a water
cooler setup need to be obtained in the water cooler manual. Only the setup
using a cold water supply and a drain are described in this manual.
Using a water cooler or other closed loop systems skip to page *
The unit has a water inlet and outlet. The inlet needs to be connected to a
cold water supply (max 25°C) with a solenoid valve installed at the beginning
of the piping going to the Opticlimate water-in connection. In case of a water
leak the valve will close. Mounting the valve at the end of the piping (near
the Opticlimate) is pointless. (always check the flow direction arrow on the
valve!). Make sure that the black magnetic coil of the solenoid valve is
positioned upwards (preferred) or to the side. If it is positioned downwards,
condensate from the cold valve might enter the coil. Make sure that the
solenoid valve is installed at a fixed point that is always easily accessible
to the user.
A strainer should be placed in the
water inlet. This strainer prevents blockage in the heat exchanger inside the
unit. It is recommended to insulate the cold water supply line in order to
prevent condensation build-up. The upper water connection is the water-outlet.
The water-outlet can be connected directly to the drain (sewer).
Alternatively, the warm water can be used for heating purposes. The water is
approx 35°C- 40°C. The water flow (water usage) is automatic regulated by an
electronic flow regulator inside the unit.
When you use and alternative cold water supply such as a well or water from a
river , leak or pond, make sure the water is filtered and clean the heat
exchanger on regulare base. Contact tech support for more information
regarding cleaning the heat exchanger.
WATER-SIDED CONNECTIONS
Discharge of the condensation water
The unit will dehumidify the air during cooling and in dehumidify mode. The
moisture extracted from the air is collected in the condensation pan. The
condensation pan has an ¾ drain pipe where the condensate will run off. The
condensate can be used as irrigation water. The cooling block has been
modified to prevent metals or oxides from entering the condensate water.
The location of the drain pan is on
the negative pressure side of the unit, meaning that air can enter into the
unit through the condensation drain, It’s highly recommended to use a “P-trap”
on the condensation outlet to prevent air entering the unit and to prevent
condensate run-off problems. Not using a p trap also results in loss of
capacity and bypassing non processed air.
-
Drain pump of the condensation water
-
incorrect drain installation
If the unit is installed at the same level or lower than the drain or sewer, a condensation lift pump can collect the water. This small lift pump pumps the water through a hose of 9mm to a height of 4 metres into the drain or collecting tank. Stronger pumps are also available.
