INFORMATION
If the controller is set to be operable in “Supervisor” mode, then the controller adds the “supervised room address” of the faulty indoor unit to the error screen. In “Supervisor” mode, it is mandatory to set a unique “supervised room address” for every indoor unit. The “supervised room address” can be set in the Madoka Assistant app. Note that in case of multiple leakages, only the address of the first faulty unit rising the error is displayed.

For more information about the modes the controller can be set to be operable.

Refrigerant leak detection

When the system detects a refrigerant leak, an alarm goes off. Stop the alarm and consult your dealer.

INFORMATION

  • It is possible to stop the leak detection alarm from the controller and from the app. For more information about the app, see the installer and user reference guide.
  • Depending on the mode the controller is set to be operable in, the refrigerant leak detection screen can have more or less information. For more information, see the installer and user reference guide.

In case the controller is set to be operable in ‘Supervisor’ mode, the controller will indicate the supervised room address of the indoor unit for which the leak detection alarm occurs. However, it is not possible to stop the alarm of the indoor unit controller (set to be operable in either “Normal” or “Alarm only” mode) from the controller in “Supervisor” mode. The alarm of the controller connected to the indoor unit with the leak has to be stopped individually.

About the box

To unpack the controller

  1. Open the box.

  2. Separate the accessories.

    • a. Installation and operation manual
    • b. Wood screws + wall plugs

Preparation

Wiring requirements

All wiring must comply with the following requirements:

Wire specification Value
Type Sheathed vinyl cord or cable (2 wires)
Section 0.75~1.25 mm2
Maximum length 500 m

Installation

NOTICE
During the installation of the controller, keep the installation environment dust-free in order to avoid any particles entering the PCB side of the controller.

Mounting the controller

Before you can mount the controller, you have to determine the wiring routing, and accordingly, remove a piece of the controller’s rear casing.
The wiring can be routed from the top, the rear, the left, or the bottom. Remove a piece of the rear casing according to the illustration:

  • a Wiring from the top
  • b Wiring from the left
  • c Wiring from the bottom

In case you are routing the wiring from the rear, you do not have to remove anything.

To mount the controller

  1. Take the screws and plugs from the accessory bag.
  2. Mount the rear casing to a flat surface.

INFORMATION
If required (e.g. when mounting to a flush-mounted electrical installation box), mount the rear casing by way of the knockout holes.

NOTICE
When mounting the rear casing to a flush-mounted electrical installation box inside a wall, make sure that that wall is completely flat.

Connecting the electrical wiring

To connect the electrical wiring
Connect controller terminals P1/P2 to indoor unit terminals P1/P2.

From the top

From the rear

From the left

From the bottom

Closing the controller

To close the controller

  1. 1. Click the front of the controller into the rear casing.  

Starting up the system
