Settings
The cooling unit is intended to be used as a complementary accessory to larger industrial equipment. The unit is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat- sensitive components. It is not intended for household use. The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure that the clean cabinet air does not come into contact with the ambient air which may well be dirty or polluted. Enclosure cooling units can dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures such as electrical enclosures into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below that of the ambient air. The unit can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard operating temperature ranging between +10°C and +55°C. Units can be ordered with an additional electrical cabinet heater. For the cooling capacities and environmental ratings please refer to the type plate data.
The display shows the temperature in the range of -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F). The temperature is displayed with a resolution of tenths between -19.9°C and +99.9°C (-3.8°F to +211.8°F). During programming, it shows the codes and values of the parameters. The display also shows icons according to occurring events.
Setting cooling set point, St1:
- Press “SET” and the display should show St1 and then the pre-set value of St1. (default: +35°C / +95°F)
- Reach the desired value by using ▲ or ▼.
- Press “SET” again to save the new value of St1.
Setting heating set point, St2 (only for units supplied with internal heater):
- Press “SET” twice slowly and display should show St2 and then the pre-set value of St2. (default:+5°C / +41°F)
- Reach the desired value by using ▲ or ▼.
- Press “SET” again to save the new value of St2.
Setting temperature units (°C / °F), low-temperature alarm and high- temperature alarm:
- Press the “PRG” button for 5 seconds to reach the modifiable parameter list.
- Use ▲ or ▼ to reach the desired parameter:
- C18 for temperature unit of measure
- °C = 0
- °F = 1
- P25 for low temperature alarm threshold (default -10°C / +14°F)
- P26 for high temperature alarm threshold (default +55°C / +131°F)
- Press “SET” on the desired parameter to display the current value.
- Use ▲ or ▼ to reach the desired value.
- Pressing “SET” temporarily saves the new value and returns to the parameters list.
- Repeat steps 2-5 to set other parameters.
- Press “PRG” for 5 seconds to permanently save the new values.
Alarm Relay Function
Both normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) alarm contacts are provided.
These refer to the alarm state. Under normal conditions, the NC contact is
closed and the NO contact is open. When an alarm condition is present or the
door contact is open, the NC contact will open and the NO contact will close.
System power failure will give an alarm condition.
Notes:
- State 2: Additional icons (1,3,4, Reverse, Direct, Test) depending on operation.
- State 3: The display shows “OFF” alternating with the standard display.
- State 4: The display shows “EXX” alternating with the standard display – at the same time, the alarm icon flashes.
Failure table:
The display shows either ‘’OFF’’ or “EXX” with an icon flashing (triangle),
alternating with the standard display. If more than one error occurs, these
are shown in sequence on the display.
Important Notes
- Whilst programming, if no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the display starts flashing, and after 1 minute returns to the main display without saving changes.
- To increase scrolling speed, press and hold the ▲ or ▼ button for at least 5 seconds.
- When pressing “PRG” for 3 seconds, the firmware revision code is displayed for 2 seconds.
- When cleaning the controller panel, do not use ethanol, hydrocarbons, ammonia or their by products. Use neutral detergents and water.
- In order to protect the unit’s components, minimum relay output on (3 or 7 minutes) and off (4 minutes) times and minimum time (7 or 11 minutes) between activation of the same relay output are applied.
- In case of digital inputs not configured, probes not fitted or configured, or St2 not enabled on the controller the display shows ‘nO’.
Functional Principle
The cooling unit for enclosures works on the basis of a refrigeration circuit consisting of four main components: compressor, evaporator, condenser and expansion device. The circuit is hermetically sealed and R134a refrigerant circulates inside it (R134a is chlorine-free and has an Ozone Destruction Potential [ODP] of 0 and a Global Warming Potential [GWP] of 1430). The compressor compresses the refrigerant (thus taking it to high pressure and high temperature), and pushes it through the condenser, where it is cooled by ambient air thus passing from the gas to the liquid state. At the liquid state, it then passes through the capillary pipe being a much lower pressure the refrigerant arrives to the evaporator where it absorbs the necessary heat to change from liquid to gas state. The gas is then drawn back into the compressor completing the cycle.

Technical Data
Short Circuit Current Rating for Air Conditioners and Heat Exchangers
As per UL508A Supplement SB, Seifert Systems’ air conditioners have a default
SCCR of 5 kA. If no additional measures are taken in the installation, the
resulting SCCR rating in the control panel would be 5 kA, assuming that the
air conditioner is the lowest-rated component in the panel. However, a high
fault SCCR is conditional on the use of specific overcurrent protective
devices. Table SB4.2 (UL508A) lists the Fuse Peak let through currents, Ip,
and clearing, I2t, based on available short circuit current levels for a
number of fuse types. A high fault SCCR can be achieved with the use of a time
delay fuses such as Class CC. The current limiting fuse used must have an SCCR
higher or equal than that of the panel. Additionally, the let-through current
Ip of the fuse must be less than 5 kA. The fuses must be marked as Current
Limiting and the let-through current must be verified from the manufacturer’s
curves. Refer to the unit’s type plate data for fuse rating. Article 409 of
the 2008 National Electric Code (NFPA 70) requires industrial control panels
to be marked with a short circuit current rating. As specified in the National
Electric Code, UL508A-2001 Supplement SB, the Standard of Safety for
Industrial Control Equipment, provides an accepted method for determining the
short-circuit current rating of the control panel. The SCCR rating for our air
conditioners and heat exchangers has a default value of 5 kA. You may use a 5
or 10 kVA isolation transformer between the customer’s panel and our air
conditioner and not have an effect on the customer’s 65kA rating. You may use
a fuse or circuit breaker with a 5 kA short circuit rating on the line side of
the ACU and its branch circuit protective device and not have an effect on the
customer’s 65 kA rating. The current-limiting fuse or circuit breaker used on
the line side of the branch circuit protection for the ACU must have an SCCR
=> that of the panel rating. Additionally, for a current limiting fuse the
customer would need to verify using table SB4.2 of UL 508A, that the let-
through current (Ip * 103)of the fuse is <= 5KA. If a circuit breaker is used
as feeder protection, it must be marked Current Limiting type by the
manufacturer, and the panel builder would need to verify based on the
manufacturer’s published curves that it will let through <= 5kA. Examples of
these curves are included in the UL 508A supplement SB. You can run separate
circuits for the panel and the air conditioner as long as each is labeled with
its individual SCCR ratings. (5 kA and 65 kA) If the customer does not
implement one of the options above, then the resulting SCCR rating would be
the 5 kA rating of the ACU, if that is the lowest-rated component in the
panel. Testing represents another option; however, if the customer does not
implement these options, then the resulting short circuit rating of the panel
is based on the lowest short circuit current rating of all power circuit
components installed in the panel.
Performance Graph
Mounting
The power supply rating on unit rating plate must comply with the mains rating. Always disconnect the power supply before opening the unit. The heat load to be dissipated from the enclosure should not exceed the specific cooling output of the unit at any condition. When selecting a cooling unit, always allow for a safety margin of at least 15% extra cooling output in the worst conditions. Air inlets and outlets must be completely free from obstruction. Ensure that flows of air leaving and entering the cooling unit, internal and external, are not obstructed. It must also be ensured in accordance with UL, that the air outlet is not blowing air directly at an equipment operator. Should this be the case a barrier or duct shall be provided to redirect the airflow. The cooling unit enclosure air suction hole must be installed at the highest possible point. When installing the unit on a door ensure it can take the weight. Before drilling the enclosure, ensure the fixing elements and couplings will not interfere with the equipment inside the enclosure itself. Disconnect power before starting any work inside the enclosure. Following the Drilling Template, drill the holes and make the required cuts on the enclosure. This template may have been affected by storage conditions, please check this template by verifying values of the largest dimensions before drilling. Fit the sealing strip to the cooling unit on the side connected to the enclosure and follow the installation diagram. If the unit is mounted in a recessed position, the controller bracket can be pulled according to the wall thickness of the enclosure outwards as per the steps below.
Condensate Management:
High humidity and low temperatures inside the enclosure can lead to
condensation on the evaporator. Condensate that flows back into the enclosure
can damage sensitive control electronics. The integrated condensate
evaporation of the cooling unit releases the condensate to the environment. If
condensate formation is too great, additional condensate can drip into an
overflow trough, which then drains off on the ambient side. In order to
prevent the formation of excessive condensate, you should nevertheless:
- Check the seals at regular intervals
- Consider installing a door contact switch. This can prevent condensation from forming when the enclosure door is left open.
Cold air outlet duct:
When using a cold air outlet duct please follow the steps below.
Filter installation:
If you install/replace a filter please follow the steps below.

Electrical Connection
Caution, risk of death
Unconnected and / or faulty protective conductor systems can lead to dangerous
voltages and electric shocks which can cause serious accidents. Work on
electrical connections may only be carried out by trained electrical
engineers.
Door Switch
The unit can be switched ON and OFF via a door contact switch. When delivered
the door contact terminals are bridged on the female connector. To connect the
door contact switch remove the bridge and connect door contact switch. The
contact must be closed when the cabinet door is closed.
It is possible to change the logic of the door switch (controller firmware
rev. 1.2 or higher). This can be set by changing the value of parameter c68.
Refer to the table below and section Controller: Setting temperature units (°C
/ °F), low temperature alarm, door contact logic section for more information.

Taking Into Operation
Attention!
The unit can be damaged by a lack of lubricant. To ensure that the compressor
is adequately lubricated, the oil, which has been displaced during transport,
must first be allowed to flow back into place. The unit must therefore be
allowed to stand for at least 30 min. before being connected to the mains and
taken into operation. The unit/system must be protected with an MCB Type D or
K. Upon connection the internal fan will start working. If the temperature
inside the enclosure is higher than the set value of the controller both the
compressor and external air fan start working. The cooling cycle will either
stop once the air inside the enclosure reaches the set temperature minus
hysteresis or once the minimum On-time is reached. The hysteresis is 3K, the
minimum ON-time is 4 minutes, and the minimum OFF-time is 3 minutes, for units
with a cooling capacity of more than 1 kW is it usually 7 minutes. The
setpoint for the internal enclosure temperature is pre-set at 95°F.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Always switch the power supply off before starting any maintenance on the
unit. Wait for 5 minutes for electrical components to discharge. The cooling
unit is generally maintenance-free and can be operated without filters in most
environments.
If the ambient air is extremely dusty, we recommend installing filter mats
(see accessories). These should be cleaned or replaced at regular intervals.
Oily or greasy filter mats should be replaced immediately. Do not use a steam
jet or high pressure to clean the filter mats. Do not wring out the filter
mats. If the ambient air is extremely oily, we recommend the use of metal
filters (see accessories). They can be cleaned with standard cleaning agents
and reused. In addition, the unit should have regular functional tests (approx
every 2,000 hours depending on the grade of ambient pollution).
Note: The use of filter mats/metal filters reduces the cooling capacity of the
unit.
Disposal
The cooling unit contains R134a refrigerant and small quantities of
lubricating oil. Replacement, repairs and final disposal must be done
according to the regulations of each country for these substances.
Transportation & Storage
Malfunction due to transport damage
On delivery, the carton box containing the unit must be examined for signs of
transport damage. Any transport damage to the carton box could indicate that
the unit itself has been damaged in transit which in the worst case could mean
that the unit will not function. The unit can only be stored in locations that
meet the following conditions:
- Temperature range: -40°F to 158°F
- Relative humidity (at 77°F): max. 95%
- The cooling unit should always be stored according to the installation position
Returning the unit
To avoid transport damage the unit should be returned in the original packing
or in a packing case and must be strapped to a pallet. If the unit cannot be
returned in the original packing please ensure that:
- A space of at least 30 mm must be maintained at all points between the unit and the external packing
- The unit must be shipped in the same position as it was mounted
