SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 – General
Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be hazardous if certain
factors particular to the installation are not considered: operating
pressures, presence of electrical components and voltages and the installation
site (elevated plinths and built-up up structures). Only properly qualified
installation engineers and highly qualified installers and technicians, fully
trained for the product, are authorised to install and start-up the equipment
safely. During all servicing
operations all instructions and recommendations which appear in the
installation and service instructions for the product, as well as on tags and
labels fixed to the equipment and components and accompanying parts supplied
separately, must be read, understood and followed.
- Apply all standard safety codes and practices.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Use the proper tools to move heavy objects. Move units carefully and set them down gently.
1.2 – Avoid electrocution
Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) recommendations may be permitted access to
electrical components. It is particularly recommended that all sources of
electricity to the unit be shut off before any work is begun. Shut off the
main power supply at the main circuit breaker or isolator.
IMPORTANT: This equipment uses and emits electromagnetic signals. Tests have
shown that the equipment conforms to all applicable codes with respect to
electromagnetic compatibility.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: Even when the main circuit breaker or isolator is
switched off, certain circuits may stillbe energised, since they may be
connected to a separate power source.
RISK OF BURNS: Electrical currents cause components to get hot either
temporarily or permanently. Handle power cable, electrical cables and
conduits, terminal box covers and motor frames with great care.
Fan start-up:
ATTENTION: In accordance with the operating conditions the fans can be cleaned
periodically. A fan can start at any time, even if the unit has been shut
down.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 – General
Pro-Dialog is a system for controlling single or dual-circuit 30RA/RY air-
cooled liquid chillers or air-to-water 30RH/RYH heat pumps. Pro-Dialog
controls compressor start-up needed to maintain the desired heat exchanger
entering or leaving water temperature. In cooling mode it controls the
operation of the fans to maintain the correct condensing pressure in each
circuit. For heat pump units it controls and optimises the defrost cycles of
each circuit in order to minimize the heating capacity reduction. Safety
devices are constantly monitored by ProDialog to ensure their safe operation.
Pro-Dialog also gives access to a Quick Test program covering all inputs and
outputs.
All PRO-DIALOG controls can work in accordance with three independent modes:
- Local mode: the machine is controlled by commands from the user interface.
- Remote mode: the machine is controlled by remote contacts (volt-free contacts).
- CCN mode: the machine is controlled by commands from the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN). In this case, a data communication cable is used to connect the unit to the CCN communication bus.
The operating mode must be chosen with the Start/Stop button described in section 4.2.1. When the PRO-DIALOG system operates autonomously (Local or Remote mode) it retains all of its own control capabilities but does not offer any of the features of the CCN network.
2.2 – Abbreviations used
In this manual, the refrigeration circuits are called circuit A and circuit B.
The compressors in circuit A are labelled A1, A2 and A3. Those in circuit B
are B1, B2 and B3.
The following abbreviations are used frequently:
CCN : Carrier Comfort Network
CCn : Operating type: CCN
LED : Light Emitting Diode
LOFF : Operating type: Local Off
L-On : Operating type: Local On mode
L-Sc : Operating type: Local On following a time schedule
MASt : Operating type: master unit (master/slave assembly)
rEM : Operating type: by remote contacts
SCT : Saturated Condensing Temperature
SIO : Sensor Bus (internal communication bus linking the basic board to the
slave boards)
SST : Saturated Suction Temperature
TXV : Thermal Expansion Valve
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
3.1 – General
Legend
- CCN connector
- Red LED, status of the board
- Green LED, communication bus SIO
- Orange LED, communication bus CCN
- Remote master board customer control connection contacts
- Remote slave board customer control connection contacts
- Master board customer connection relay outputs
- Slave board customer connection relay outputs
- Master NRCP basic board
- Slave NRCP basic board
The control system consists of an NRCP-BASE board for single-circuit units and
two NRCP-BASE boards (a master and a slave board) for dual-circuit units. Heat
pump units equipped with optional additional heater stages use an additional
board, type PD-AUX. All boards communicate via an internal SIO bus.
The NRCP-BASE boards continuously manage the information received from the
various pressure and temperature probes. The NRCP-BASE master board
incorporates the program that controls the unit.
The user interface consists of two display blocks with up to 26 LEDs and 16
buttons (according to unit type). It is connected to the main basic board and
gives access to a full array of control parameters.
3.2 – Electrical supply to boards
All boards, except the PD-RCPM board, are supplied from a common 24 V a.c.
supply referred to earth.
CAUTION : Maintain the correct polarity when connecting the power supply
to the boards, otherwise the boards may be damaged.
In the event of a power supply interrupt, the unit restarts automatically
without the need for an external command.
However, any faults active when the supply is interrupted are saved and may in
certain cases prevent a circuit or unit from restarting.
3.3 – Light emitting diodes on boards
All boards continuously check and indicate the proper operation of their
electronic circuits. A light emitting diode (LED) lights on each board when it
is operating properly.
- The red LED flashing for a 2 second period on the NRCPBASE board indicates correct operation. A different rate indicates a board or a software failure.
- On dual-circuit units or units equipped with optional board, the green LED flashes continuously on all boards to show that the board is communicating correctly over its internal bus. If the LED is not flashing, this indicates a SIO bus wiring problem.
- The orange LED of the master board flashes during any communication via the CCN bus.
3.4 – The sensors
Pressure sensors
Two types of electronic sensors are used to measure the suction and discharge
pressure in each circuit.
Thermistors
The evaporator water sensors are installed in the entering and leaving side.
The outdoor temperature sensor is mounted below the control box. An optional
water system temperature sensor can be used for master/slave assembly control
(in the case of leaving water control).
In heat pump units a sensor placed on an air heat exchanger pipe ensures
defrost operation.
3.5 – The controls
Evaporator pumps
The controller can regulate one or two evaporator pumps and takes care of
automatic change-over between pumps.
Evaporator heater
It protects the evaporator (and the pipe heater for units without pump)
against freezing if the unit is off.
Boiler
This relay output authorizes start/stop of a boiler.
Condensate defrost heater
This heater is used for heat pump units and is located at the bottom of the
air heat exchanger of each circuit. It prevents ice build-up, if defrost
cycles are initiated at low outdoor temperatures.
3.6 – Connections at the user’s terminal block

4.3.11- Description of the configuration menu
4.3.11.1- General
This menu can be used to display and modify all configurations:
Factory, Service and User.
Only the User Configuration can be modified by the end-user.
The Factory, Service and master/ slave configurations are not described in
this document. A configuration can only be modified if the unit is fully
stopped (LOFF).
The menus User 1 [USEr 1] and User 2 [USEr 2] are password-protected.
The other menus are directly accessible, except if item 11 of the User 2 menu
(password for all configurations) has been validated.
4.3.11.2 – Password
A password must be entered in order to access the test function or to modify a
configuration. It is automatically requested, if necessary: ‘EntEr PASS’ is
displayed on the 4-digit display and the configuration menu LED flashes,
indicating that the modification mode is active. Press the arrow keys until
the value ’11’ is displayed on the 4-digit display. Press Enter to validate
this. The configuration menu LED stops flashing. If the password is correct,
‘Good’ is displayed. If the password is incorrect, ‘PASS incorrEct’ is
displayed. The User password has a default value of 11.
This value can be modified through the Service configuration.
The password can be entered if the unit is fully stopped, otherwise ‘ACCES
dEniEd’ (access denied) will be displayed on the 4-digit display. The
controller automatically deactivates the password after 5 minutes without
activity (i.e. no buttons pressed) or after powering up.

4.3.11.6 – Description of the Time Schedules sub-menus
The control provides two timer programs: schedule 1 and schedule 2 that can be
activated if the unit is equipped with an optional CCN/clock board (if the
CCN/clock board is not installed, the two schedules are permanently in
occupied
mode).
The first timer program (schedule #1) provides a means to automatically
switch the unit from an occupied mode to an unoccupied mode: the unit is
started during occupied periods.
The second timer program (schedule #2) provides a means to automatically
switch the active setpoint from an occupied setpoint to an unoccupied
setpoint: cooling setpoint 1 is used during occupied periods, cooling or
heating setpoint 2 during unoccupied periods. Heating setpoint 3 is activated
during holiday periods. For additional information on set-point activation see
section 5.6.1.
Each schedule consists of eight time periods set by the operator.
These time periods can be flagged to be in effect or not in effect on each day
of the week plus a holiday period (see section 4.3.11.7 on public holidays).
The day begins at 00.00 hours and ends at 24.00 hours.
Program is in unoccupied mode unless a schedule time period is in effect. If
two periods overlap and are both active on the same day, the occupied mode
takes priority over the unoccupied period.
Each of the eight periods can be displayed and changed with the aid of a sub-
sub-menu. The table below shows how to access the period configuration. Method
is the same for the time schedule #1 or the time schedule #2.

4.3.11.7 – Description of the Holidays sub-menus
This function is used to define 16 public holiday periods. Each period is
defined with the aid of three parameters: the month, starting day and duration
of the public holiday period. During these public holidays the controller will
be in occupied or unoccupied mode, depending on the programmed periods
validated for public holidays (see section 4.3.11.6).
Each of these public holiday periods can be displayed and changed with the aid
of a sub-menu.
ATTENTION : The broadcast function must be activated to utilise the
holiday schedule, even if the unit is running in stand-alone mode (not
connected to CCN). See section 4.3.11.8.

as follows: start month = 5, start day = 20, duration = 1
A public holiday period lasting 2 day on 25th May, for instance, is configured
as follows: start month = 5, start day = 25, duration = 2
4.3.11.8 – Description of the Broadcast sub-menu
The controller provides a broadcast configuration menu which you can use to
configure the unit to be the CCN’s broadcaster, responsible for transmitting
the time, outdoor temperature, and holiday flags to all system elements.
This menu also authorises setting the date of the daylight saving time. There
should be only one broadcaster in a CCN, so this table should not be
configured if any other system element is acting as broadcaster.
ATTENTION : If the unit operates in standalone mode (not CCN connected)
this menu can also must be used if the holi-day function is used or to correct
for daylight saving time.

PRO-DIALOG CONTROL OPERATION
5.1 – Start/stop control
The table below summarises the unit control type and stop or go status with regard to the following parameters.
- Operating type: this is selected using the start/stop button on the front of the user interface.
- Remote start/stop contacts: these contacts are used when the unit is in remote operating type (rEM). See sections 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.
- CHIL_S_S: this network command relates to the chiller start/stop when the unit is in CCN control (CCn). Variable forced to disable: the unit is halted. Variable forced to Enable: the unit runs in accordance with schedule
- Start/Stop schedule: occupied or unoccupied status of the unit as determined by the chiller start/stop program (Schedule #1). Used when the unit is equipped with an optional CCN/clock board, otherwise the chiller occupied mode is forced to occupied all the time.
- Master control type. This parameter is used when the unit is the master unit in a two chiller lead/lag arrangement. The master control type determines whether the unit is to be controlled locally, remotely or through CCN (this parameter is a Service configuration).
- CCN emergency shutdown: if this CCN command is activated, it shuts the unit down whatever the active operating type.
- General alarm: the unit is totally stopped due to failure.
5.2 – Heating/cooling/standby operation
5.2.1 – General
The heating/cooling/standby selection applies to all units. But only 30RA/RY
(liquid chillers) units, controlling a boiler and 30RH/RYH (heat pumps) units
can change over to heating mode. Heating/cooling control can be automatic or
manual.
In automatic mode the outdoor temperature determines the
heating/cooling/standby changeover based on the two threshold values
configured by the user (see Setpoint menu for cooling and heating mode
changeover thresholds). If the unit is in standby it does not cool or heat,
and no compressor can be activated. The diagram below summarises the operating
principle in automatic mode.
* This threshold does not apply to cooling only units that do not control a boiler.
5.2.2 – Heating/cooling/auto selection
The table below summarises the unit heating/cooling operation, based on the
following parameters:
- Control type: indicates whether the unit operates in local, remote or CCN mode. See section 5.1.
- Unit on/off status: indicates whether the unit is shut down (not authorised to start) or in operation (or authorised to start).
- Heating/cooling/auto selection in local mode: operating mode selected via the user interface. See Information menu.
- Remote heating/cooling contacts: these contacts are only active if the unit is under remote control. See sections 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.
- HC_SEL: this network command permits heating/ cooling/auto control, if the unit is in CCN operating mode.
- Outdoor temperature: determines the operation, if the unit is in automatic heating/cooling/standby changeover mode.

- Does not apply to cooling only units that do not control a boiler.
5.3 – Evaporator water pump control
The unit can control one or two evaporator water pumps. The evaporator water
pump is turned on when this option is configured (see User configuration) and
when the unit is in one of the on modes described above or in delay mode.
Since the minimum value for the delay at start-up is 1 minute (configurable
between 1 and 15 minutes), the pump will run for at least one minute before
the first compressor starts. The pump is kept running for 20 seconds after the
unit goes to stop mode. The pump keeps working when the unit switches from
heating to cooling mode or vice-versa. It is turned off if the unit is shut
down due to an alarm unless the fault is a frost protection error. The pump
can be started in particular operating conditions when the evaporator heater
is active (see section 5.5). See section 5.14 for the particular evaporator
pump control for the follower unit (master/slave assembly).
If two pumps are controlled and the reversing function has been selected (see
User 1 configuration), the control tries to limit the pump run time delta to
the configured pump changeover delay. If this delay has
elapsed, the pump reversing function is activated, when the unit is running.
During the reversing function both pumps run together for two seconds.
If a pump has failed and a secondary pump is available, the unit is stopped
and started again with this pump.
The control provides a means to automatically start the pump each day at 14.00
hours for 2 seconds when the unit is off. If the unit is fitted with two
pumps, the first pump is started on odd days and the second pump is started on
even days. Starting the pump periodically for few seconds increases the life-
time of the pump bearings and the tightness of the pump seal.
5.4 – Control interlock contact
This contact checks the status of a loop (water flow switch and customer
safety loop, see section 3.6). It prevents the unit from starting if it is
open when the delay at start-up has expired. This open contact leads to an
alarm shut-down, if the unit is running.
5.5 – Evaporator antifreeze protection
The heater for the evaporator and water pump cycling (for units with a pump)
can be energised to protect the evaporator, if it can be damaged by freezing,
when the unit is shut down for a long time at low outdoor temperature.
NOTE : Evaporator heater control parameters can be modified, using the
Service configuration.
5.6 – Control point
The control point represents the water temperature that the unit must produce.
The inlet water is controlled by default, but the outlet water can also be
controlled (requires a Service configuration modification).
Control point = active setpoint + reset 5.6.1 – Active setpoint
Two setpoints can be selected as active in cooling mode and three in heating
mode. Usually, the second cooling setpoint is used for unoccupied periods or
for ice storage (brine unit). The second setpoint in heating mode is used for
unoccupied periods, and the third heating setpoint is used for holiday periods
or public holidays. Depending on the current operations, the active setpoint
can be selected by choosing the item in the Information menu, with the user’s
volt-free contacts, with network commands or with the setpoint timer program
(schedule2).
The following table summarises the possible selections depending on the control types (local, remote or CCN) and the following parameters:
- Setpoint select in local control: item #12 of the Information menu permits selection of the active setpoint, if the unit is in local operating type.
- Heating/cooling operating mode
- Control contacts: status of control contacts 5 and 6 (dualcircuit units only). These contacts are only active if the unit is in remote control operating type. See section 3.6.6.
- Control contact 3: status of control contact 3 (singlecircuit units only). See section 3.6.4.
- Contol contact 3 selection: this selection, only used for single-circuit units, indicates if contact 3 is used for dual setpoint control or for demand limit control (see User Configuration menu).
- Schedule 2 status: schedule for setpoint selection. See section 4.3.11.6.

5.6.2 – Reset
Reset means that the active setpoint is modified so that less machine capacity
is required (in cooling mode, the setpoint is increased, in heating mode it is
decreased). This modification is in general a reaction to a drop in the load.
For the Pro-Dialog control system, the source of the reset can be configured
in the User 1 configuration: it can be provided either by the outdoor
temperature (that gives a measure of the load trends for the building) or by
the return water temperature (delta T that gives an average building load). In
response to a drop in the outdoor temperature or to a drop in delta T, the
cooling setpoint is normally reset upwards in order to optimise unit
performance:
In both cases the reset parameters, i.e. slope, source and maximum value, are configurable in the Setpoints menu (see section 4.3.8). Reset is a linear function based on three parameters.
- A reference at which reset is zero (outdoor temperature or delta T – no reset value).
- A reference at which reset is maximum (outdoor temperature or delta T – full reset value).
- The maximum reset value.

B OAT or delta T for no reset
C OAT or delta T for full reset
D Building Load
5.7 – Demand limit
Generally, demand limit is used by an energy management system to restrict the
unit electricity consumption. The PRODIALOG control system enables the
capacity of the unit to be limited by means of user-controlled volt-free
contacts. Singlecircuit units only have one contact (control contact 3),
available in the User Configuration function for demand limiting or setpoint
selection. Dual-circuit units have two volt-free contacts that permit several
limit levels. The capacity of the unit cannot exceed the demand limit setpoint
activated by the position of the contacts (see section 3.6.4 and 3.6.5 for the
contact description). The demand limit setpoints are adjustable via the
setpoint menu.
The demand limit is active in all operating types: Local, Remote or CCN.
However in CCN operating type, demand limit can be controlled directly with
the aid of CCN commands.
A limitation value of 100% means that the unit may call upon the full array of
its capacity stages.
5.8 – Night mode
The night period is defined (see User configuration) by a start time and an
end time that are the same for each day of the week. During the night period,
the fan runs at low speed, if permitted by the current operating conditions.
In addition, the user can reduce the unit capacity (but a minimum capacity
value can be configured).
5.9 – Capacity control
This function adjusts the number of active compressors to keep the heat
exchanger water temperature at its setpoint. The precision with which this is
achieved depends on the capacity of the water loop, the flow rate, the load,
and the number of stages available on the unit. The control system
continuously takes account of the temperature error with respect to the
setpoint, as well as the rate of change in this error and the difference
between entering and leaving water temperatures, in order to determine the
optimum moment at which to add or withdraw a capacity stage. If the same
compressor undergoes too many starts (per hour) or runs below one minute each
time it is started this automatically brings about reduction of compressor
starts, which makes leaving water temperature control less precise. In
addition, the high pressure, low pressure or defrost unloading functions can
also affect the temperature control accuracy. Compressors are started and
stopped in a sequence designed to equalise the number of start-ups (value
weighted by their operating time).
NOTE : Circuits with 3 compressors (reversible heat pump units) only
provide 2 capacity stages (2 compressors are started/stopped together).
5.10 – Head pressure control
Condensing pressure control is automatically ensured by a twospeed fan and can
also be ensured by an additional fan on each circuit (no adjustment).
Fan start-up:
ATTENTION: In accordance with the operating conditions the fans can be
cleaned periodically. A fan can start at any time, even if the unit has been
shut down.
5.11 – Defrost function Defrost is activated, when the unit is in heating mode, in order to reduce frost build-up on the air heat exchanger. The defrost cycle can only be applied to one circuit at a time. During the defrost cycle the fans of that circuit are stopped, and the fourway refrigerant valve is reversed, forcing the circuit to cooling mode. The fan can temporarily be restarted during the defrost cycle. The defrost cycle is fully automatic and does not require any setting. A condensate heater prevents ice formation at the bottom of the heat exchangers, if the defrost cycles are taking place at low outdoor temperature.
5.12 – Additional electric heater stage control
The heat pump units can control up to four additional electric heating stages.
The electric heating stages are activated to complement the heating capacity
when the following conditions are satisfied:
- The unit uses 100% of the available heating capacity, or the unit is limited in its operation by a protection mode (low suction temperature, hot gas or defrost sequence in progress protection), and in all cases cannot satisfy the heating load.
- The outdoor temperature is below a configured threshold (see User 1 configuration).
- The unit demand limit is not active.
The user may configure the last available electric heating stages as a safety stage. In this case, the safety stage is only activated in addition to the other stages if there is a machine fault, preventing the use of the heating capacity. The other electric heating stages will continue to operate as described above.
5.13 – Control of a boiler
NOTE: The control of the electric heating stages or of a boiler is not
authorised for slave units.
The unit can control the start-up of a boiler, if it is in heating mode. When
the boiler is operating, the unit water pump is stopped.
A heat pump unit and a boiler cannot operate together. In this case the boiler
output is activated in the following conditions:
- The unit is in heating mode, but a fault prevents the use of the heat pump capacity.
- The unit is in heating mode, but works at a very low outdoor temperature, making the heat pump capacity insufficient. The outdoor air temperature threshold for use of the boiler is fixed at -10°C, but this value can be adjusted in the User 1 menu.
5.14 – Master/slave assembly
Two PRO-DIALOG units can be linked to produce a master/ slave assembly. The
two machines are interconnected over the CCN bus. All parameters required for
the master/slave function must be configured through the Service configuration
menu.
Master/slave operation requires the connection of a temperature probe at the
common manifold on each machine, if the heat exchanger leaving water
temperature is controlled.
5.14 – Master/slave assembly
Two PRO-DIALOG units can be linked to produce a master/ slave assembly. The
two machines are interconnected over the CCN bus. All parameters required for
the master/slave function must be configured through the Service configuration
menu.
Master/slave operation requires the connection of a temperature probe at the
common manifold on each machine, if the heat exchanger leaving water
temperature is controlled.
All control commands to the master/slave assembly (start/stop, setpoint,
heating/cooling operation, load shedding, etc.) are handled by the unit which
is configured as the master, and must therefore only be applied to the master
unit. They will be transmitted automatically to the slave unit. The master
unit can be controlled locally, remotely or by CCN com-mands. Therefore to
start up the assembly, simply validate the Master operating type (MASt) on the
master unit. If the Master has been configured for remote control then use the
remote voltfree contacts for unit start/stop.
The slave unit must stay in CCN operating type continuously.
To stop the master/slave assembly, select Local Off (LOFF) on the master unit
or use the remote volt-free contacts if the unit has been configured for
remote control.
One of the functions of the master unit (depending on its configuration) may
be the designation, whether the master or slave is to be the lead machine or
the follower. The roles of lead machine and follower will be reversed when the
difference in running hours between the two units exceeds a configurable
value, ensuring that the running times of the two units are automatically
equalised. The changeover between lead machine and follower may take place
when the assembly is started up, or even whilst running. The running time
balancing function is not active if it has not been configured: in this case
the lead machine is always the master unit.
The lead machine will always be started first. When the lead machine is at its
full available capacity, start-up delay (configurable) is initialised on the
follower. When this delay has expired, and if the error on the control point
is greater than 1.7°C, the follower unit is authorised to start and the pump
is activated. The follower will automatically use the master unit active
setpoint. The lead machine will be held at its full available capacity for as
long as the active capacity on the follower is not zero. When the follower
unit receives a command to stop, its evaporator water pump is turned off with
20 seconds delay.
In the event of a communication fault between the two units, each shall return
to an autonomous operating mode until the fault is cleared. If the master unit
is halted due to an alarm, the slave unit is authorised to start without prior
conditions.
5.15 – Controlling Pro-Dialog units with a System Manager
Up to eight PRO-DIALOG units (or System Manager compatible units) can be
controlled by one control module of the FSM, CSM III or HSM type which can
handle multitasking of control functions such as starting units in sequence.
DIAGNOSTICS – TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 – General
The PRO-DIALOG control system has many fault tracing aid functions. The local
interface and its various menus give access to all unit operating conditions.
The test function makes it possible to run a quick test of all devices on the
unit. If an operating fault is detected, an alarm is activated and an alarm
code is stored in the Alarm menu.
6.2 – Displaying alarms
The alarm LEDs on the summary interface (see section 4.1) give a quick display
of the status of each circuit and the unit as a whole.
- A flashing LED shows that the circuit is operating but there is an alarm.
- A steady LED shows that the circuit has been shut down due to a fault.
The Alarm menu on the main interface displays up to 5 fault codes that are active on the unit.
6.3 – Resetting alarms
When the cause of the alarm has been corrected the alarm can be reset,
depending on the type, either automatically on return to normal, or manually
when action has been taken on the unit.
Alarms can be reset even if the unit is running.
This means that an alarm can be reset without stopping the machine. In the
event of a power supply interrupt, the unit restarts automatically without the
need for an external command. However, any faults active when the supply is
interrupted are saved and may in certain cases prevent a circuit or a unit
from restarting.
A manual reset must be run from the main interface using the following
procedure:
