INSTALLATION

2.1 PRODUCT HANDLING
AIR CONDITIONER AVC series must be handled in upright position and protected against accidental tipping over.
Air conditioners AVC035 series are fitted with female blind threaded insert to screw male lifting eye bolts.
The air conditioner handling, when unpacked, can be done thanks to lifting eye bolt. If lifting eye bolts are not included, please provide an adequate M6 male lifting eye bolt (2) and screw it inside blind threaded (1) insert placed on top of the air conditioner
Check the proper fixing of eye bolts before lift the air conditioner.

2.2 GENERAL CHECKS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before the installation make sure that the cabinet is disconnected from the electrical supply.
GENERAL CHECKS

• electrical enclosure must be disconnected form power supply
• electrical data shown on rating label pasted on air conditioner side must be guaranteed
• Electrical enclosure must be sized according to air conditioner dimensions and weight.
• Electrical enclosure must have at least IP54 protection degree
• Internal and external components of electrical enclosure don’t have to affect the proper installation of air conditioner
• The installation site must be free from excessive dirt, aggressive ambient conditions and moisture.
• The installation site must be free from hot air flows
• The internal side of electrical enclosure must be free from dirt and moisture
• The environment temperature must be within the range specified on label pasted on air conditioner side
• Inside of electrical enclosure there must not be components that could affect the proper ventilation
• the enclosure positioning with installed air conditioner must be carefully selected to ensure good ventilation (clearance between the air conditioner and the near walls must be at least 500 mm in each side).
• Proper disposing of condensate discharge

2.3 FITTING

1. Make the fixing hole on the enclosure as is shown in the drilling template Deburr all sharp edges to avoid accidental injuries
2. Apply the gasket (included in fixing kit) on the back panel of the air conditioner
3. Lift the air conditioner by lifting eyebolt and place it near the enclosure wall
4. Mount the air conditioner on the electrical cabinet according to the drilling template with M6X16 screws and washers against unscrewing (included in mounting kit)
5. Connect the condensate drain pipe like is shown in picture below. (Put some glue on aluminium pipe before to insert it)

Air conditioner produces condensate because the moist air inside of the enclosure meets cold heat exchanger (evaporator) and then it becomes water; water production decreases during air conditioner working because enclosure air becomes dry.
The enclosure must be IP 54 protected, if enclosure is not airtight, condensate production could increase.
Installation of a door limit switch can reduce condensate production when the door is open. (see 3.3.2 Digital input)
The enclosure IP54 degree is guaranteed only if the air conditioner is proper mounted.

3.3 ALARM OUTPUT / DIGITAL INPUT
Air conditioner is fitted with an electronic controller which permits alarm output and digital input signals.
3.3.1 Alarm output
Alarm output is activated according to alarm parameters (for example in case of enclosure temperature higher than ALU value, digital input not activated… See PARAMETERS at 4.2 DIGITAL THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTION section) Alarm output is a potential-free contact.

3.3.2 Digital input
WARNING: proper functions of air conditioner are allowed only if digital input is activated. (closed contact between poles 13-14).
Digital input can be a door limit switch or a generic external clean contact.
Plug for signals is factory wired with a bridge between 13-14 poles.
Bridge can be removed to wire, for example, a door limit switch.

STARTING AND ADJUSTMENT

After finishing assembly of the conditioner, wait approx. 30 min. before starting it (the oil must collect in the compressor to ensure lubrication and cooling).
The air conditioner operates automatically, that is to say, after insertion, the evaporator fan operates continuously making the air inside the cabinet circulate. This way a uniform distribution of temperature inside the cabinet itself is attained. The built-in thermostat drives compressor and condenser fan according to set point value.
Compressor turns and condenser fan ON when internal enclosure temperature rises up to set point value + hysteresis.
Compressor and condenser fan turn OFF when internal enclosure temperature decreases below set point value.
4.1 DIGITAL THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTION
WARNING: the air conditioner is designed to operate at 35 ° C cabinet temperature. If the set point is changed the performance of the unit will vary.

1. Regulating thermostat is fixed on side of air conditioner.

Compressor
Cut IN is Set Point + differential (Hy). Compressor Cut OUT is when the temperature reaches the set point.
---|---
Ot| Thermostat probe calibration: (-12.0÷12.0°C; -120÷120°F) allows to adjust possible offset of the thermostat probe.
AC| Anti-short cycle delay: (0÷50 min) minimum interval between the compressor stop and the following restart.
CH| Type of action: CL = cooling; Ht = heating.
rES| Resolution (for °C): (in = 1°C; dE = 0.1 °C) allows decimal point display.
dLy Display delay: (0 ÷20.0m; risul. 10s) when the temperature increases, the display is updated of 1 °C/1°F after this time.
IdF| Interval between defrost cycles: (0÷120h) Determines the time interval between the beginning of two defrost cycles.
MdF| (Maximum) length for defrost: (0÷255min) (0=no defrost) When P2P = n, (not evaporator probe: timed defrost) it sets the defrost duration, when P2P = y (defrost end based on temperature) it sets the maximum length for defrost.
ALU| MAXIMUM temperature alarm: (SET÷110°C; SET÷230°F) when this temperature is reached the alarm is enabled, after the “ALd” delay time.
ALL| Minimum temperature alarm: (-50.0 ÷ SET°C; -58÷230°F when this temperature is reached the alarm is enabled, after the “Ald” delay time.
I1P| Digital input polarity: oP: the digital input is activated by opening the contact; CL: the digital input is activated by closing the contact.
I1F| Digital input configuration: EAL = external alarm: “EA” message is displayed;
bAL = serious alarm “CA” message is displayed. PAL = pressure switch alarm, “CA” message is displayed; dor = door switch function; dEF = activation of a defrost cycle; AUS =to switch on the second relay if oA1 = AUS; Htr = kind of action
inversion (cooling –heating); Fan = not set it; ES = Energy saving.
Did| (0 ÷ 255 min) with i1F= EAL or i1F = bAL digital input alarm delay: delay between the detection of the external alarm condition and its signalling.
With i1F= dor: door open signalling delay with i1F = PAL: time for pressure switch function: time interval to calculate the number of the pressure switch activation.
PbC| Type of probe: it allows to set the kind of probe used by the instrument: PbC = PBC probe, ntc = NTC probe.

4.1.11 DIGITAL INPUT (ENABLED WITH P3P = N)
The free voltage digital input is programmable in different configurations by the “i1F” parameter.
Door switch input (i1f = dor)
It signals the door status and the corresponding relay output status through the odc parameter:
no= normal (any change);, Fan= fan OFF; CPr= Compressor OFF, F_C= Compressor and fan OFF.
Since the door is opened, after the delay time set through parameter did, the door alarm is enabled, the display shows the message dA and the regulation restarts is rtr = yES. The alarm stops as soon as the external digital input is disabled again. With the door open, the high and low temperature alarms are disabled.
Digital inputs polarity
The digital input polarity depends on the i1P parameter.
I1P=CL: the input is activated by closing the contact.
I1P=OP: the input is activated by opening the contact
4.1.12 GENERIC ALARM (i1F = EAL)
