7. Mounting

Always disconnect the power supply before opening the unit.

Heat load to be dissipated from enclosure should not exceed 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. 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 this 1:1 Scale 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.

8. Mounting Principle

• Do not use within the first 15 minutes after installation!
• Use only the supplied mounting hardware.
• Tighten fasteners to 40 inch lb.
• Ensure the mounting surface does not warp after assembly and reinforce it if necessary.

11. Electrical Connection

The cooling unit is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat sensitive components. 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. Control cabinet air conditioners can dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures, such as control cabinets, into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below that of the ambient air.

The control cabinet air conditioner can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard operating temperature ranging between -4°F and 131°F. The stated cooling capacities are according to DIN 3168.

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.

12. Controller Programming

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.

Controller

The display shows the temperature in the range of -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F). The temperature is displayed with 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.

Programming
The operating parameters can be modified using the front keypad. Access differs depending on the type of parameter. Access to configuration parameters is protected by a password that prevents unwanted modifications or access by unauthorised persons.

Setting cooling set point, St1:

1. Press and hold “SET” until the display shows St1. Once released the pre-set value of St1 will appear.
   (default: +35°C / +95°F)

2. Reach the desired value by using ▲ or ▼.

3. Press “SET” again to save the new value of St1.

Setting heating set point, St2 (only for units supplied with internal heater):

1. Press “SET” twice slowly and display should show St2 and then the pre-set value of St2.
   (default: +5°C / +41°F)

2. Reach the desired value by using ▲ or ▼.

3. Press “SET” again to save the new value of St2.

Setting temperature units (°C / °F), low temperature alarm and high temperature alarm:

1. Press “PRG” button for 5 seconds to reach the modifiable parameter list.
2. 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)

3. Press “SET” on the desired parameter to display the current value.
4. Use ▲ or ▼ to reach the desired value.
5. Pressing “SET” temporarily saves the new value and returns to the parameters list.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 to set other parameters.
7. Press “PRG” for 5 seconds to permanently save the new values.

Test Function
Different test functions can be used depending on the combination of keys pressed. Such tests run for the duration of 4 minutes.

• “SET+▲” tests Compressor and Ambient Blower relays.
• “SET+▼” tests Alarms and Heater relays

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.

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.
• l 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 byproducts. 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’.

14. Taking Into Operation

Attention!
The unit can be damaged by lack of lubricant. To ensure that the compressor is adequately lubricated, the oil, which has been displaced during transport, must be allowed to flow back into it. The unit must therefore be allowed to stand for at least 30 minutes before being connected to the mains and taken into operation. 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. Once the air inside the enclosure reaches the set temperature, the compressor and external fan will stop.

The unit is pre-set at 95°F, which is suitable for most of the electronic devices.

If Drainage required, use PVC 10mm (3/8 inch) ID Hose.

15. Repair

Door enclosure closed| Enclosure IP degree minimum IP54| Seal openings on enclosure
Damaged/misplaced sealing strip| Repair strip accordingly

16. Maintenance & Cleaning

Always switch power supply off before starting any maintenance on the unit.

Any repairs that may be needed must only be done by qualified personnel. The cooling unit is a low maintenance type and for most environments, no filter is required. If an air filter is installed, check it periodically for dirt and clogs. Clean or replace filter when necessary.

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.

17. Transportation & Storage

During transport and storage the cooling unit must be kept in the position marked on the box and at a temperature between -40°F and 158°F and a relative humidity of max. 95% (at 77°F). Check that the packaging has not been damaged during transport.
