ComCube DCD
The ComCube DCD communications module is linked to the BrainCube control through the RS 485
interface. This extends the functionality. Six additional inputs are available for registering and dis-
playing external volt fee NO signals and 9 volt fee, separately configurable signal outputs (NO). These
can be used, for example, to give a simple, clear indication of primary vessel content by means of
LEDs, or to transfer selected parameter limit values to the control centre.

Start-up
We recommend having the initial start-up carried out by your nearest Pneumatex customer service.
Start-up services are to be ordered separately and cost will depend on the Zoom prices in your area.
The scope of services is as described in this Section.
Requirements
● The services described in the «Assembly» paragraph have been completed.
● The electrical power supply is connected.
● The vessels are empty. Manual equipment is available for filling quickly.
BrainCube is self-explanatory
All start-up processes and steps are described in the BrainCube. Please follow the instructions given
there. The following information is supplementary only.
Switch on BrainCube
Plug in the mains plug (1.2.1). The BrainCube is ready to operate. At the initial start-up, there is a
«Welcome» message (if no action is taken for 4 min, it changes automatically to standby with the dis-
play function, then to the Start-up menu).

The LIS mA signal at 0% and 100% can be determined in the following ways:
● Read off the mA values stored in the Braincube for 0% or 100% (this service level can be performed
by Pneumatex customer service only, and is payable),
● Measure the mA signals with the primary vessel empty (0%) and full (100%),
● Measure the mA signals with the primary vessel empty (0%), calculate the mA signal for 100% based
on the primary vessel size and assuming uniform weight distribution between the three feet of the
vessel ( 1 litre ≈ 0.33 kg/foot).

Operation Operating modes
Basic principles
As far as this is possible, the Compresso is maintenance-free. Operation is controlled and monitored by
the BrainCube ( pages 10 | 11). Operating states and deviations from normal operation are indicated
and can, if necessary, be transmitted to the control centre through signal contacts or by ComCube
communications modules.
There are two basic operating modes: auto and standby. For the purposes of safety at work, the
Compresso should be considered to be in use when in either of these operating modes. If work is
to be carried out on the electrical circuits, the Compresso must be taken out of operation. The mains
plug (1.2.1) should be pulled out of the socket. BrainCube must be at zero voltage.
!
Caution! Output POT1 | POT2 Terminal plan page 25.
auto
After start-up is completed successfully, the Compresso remains in auto mode all year round, whet-
her the connected heating or cooling installation is switched on or not. This is necessary in order to
maintain pressurization.
In auto mode, all functions are performed and monitored automatically. The TecBoxes vary in functio-
nality ( pages 6 | 7).
standby
The standby operating mode can be selected manually. In this case, pressurization and water make-
up no longer function, fault signals are neither displayed nor registered.
! Caution! In parallel operation ( pages 32 | 33), when the master is in standby, data continue to be
transferred to the slaves. To prevent inadmissible pressure variations and malfunctions in the instal-
lation, the slave systems must also be switched to standby mode before working on the master.

check
We recommend carrying out preventive maintenance and a function check once per year. Pneumatex
customer service can provide these services for you at a cost.
The main services are listed and described in the check menu. Details can be obtained through direct
dialogue with the BrainCube.
In the check menu, auto operating mode is deactivated. Messages that appear during function
checks, or when pumps and valves are being adjusted, are stored in the messages list.
Besides following the maintenance instructions in check, the following jobs/checks are recommen-
ded or required:
Safety valve
Vent the safety valve SV on the Compresso TecBox ( pages 15 – 19). The valve must blow off.
!
Follow the regional/national regulations and regulations specific to this installation!
Condensate in vessels
Carefully operate condensate drain valve KV ( pages 15 – 19) on the primary and secondary ves-
sels and drain off any accumulated condensation. Caution! The vessels are pressurised. Water may
!
spray out.
Depending on vessel size and operating conditions, the amount of condensate may be from a few
millilitres to several litres. If the condensate flows for a long time, the butyl rubber bag may be da-
maged. In this case, please inform Pneumatex customer service.
fr ! Refer to the notes on standby operating mode when in parallel operation standby page 28.

Operation Master-Slave parallel operation
Up to 4 Compresso and Transfero TecBoxes can be linked up using the DMS software upgrade. Four
different connection types are possible. It is all the same whether you work with one master TecBox
(Master) and one or more slave TecBoxes (Slaves). The communications pass through the BrainCube's
RS 485 interface ( page 22).
Principle
The master leads. Slaves always follow the signal instructions from the Master. If the current master
fails (M16, M17, M18 and M19 or voltage loss), a slave takes over the Master function. Various
TecBoxes can be operated in parallel operation, for example:
The minimum or maximum pressure signals (M01, M02) are generated by the Master only.
Use: Systems that can either be run separately or linked together, for example heating-cooling system
parallel operation.
32
Operation Increased security of supply.
de If the two systems are isolated from each other, for example by closing a motor-driven valve, this must
be communicated to TecBox No. 2 through a zero-potential switch on the DEC input ( Terminal
fr
plan page 23). Each TecBox then works as a standalone Master with full pressurization functionality
en and with its own specific pressure switch points. If the systems are linked hydraulically, for example
by opening a motor-driven valve and dropping the signal at DEC, TecBox No. 2 acts as slave with vol-
nl
ume compensation function only.
Dimensioning: Depending on customer requirements, for example the TecBox and vessels for the 2 systems to be
laid out in the same way and according to the output of the larger system.
Hydraulic connection: Each system receives its own pressurization. Master and slave vessels are air-side isolated.

P compresso 0704
Operation Master-slave parallel operation
Use: Parallel operation to ensure 100% output. Reserve output is also 100%. If required, the reserve is
connected automatically to raise output to 200%. Security of supply raised to 100%.
The pressurization function is performed by both the Master and the Slaves. The PIS pressure signals
Operation are transmitted from Master to Slave through the RS 485. Master and Slaves all work within the same
pressure range. Staggered switch points can be set by customer service. The build-up of «traffic» be-
tween the linked systems is prevented by common evaluation of master pressure signal PIS. At least
one slave has its own primary vessel with LIS content measurement. Unlike PL parallel operation, this
means that even if LIS content measurement fails (M17) in the master, the station set as slave for PR
parallel operation can maintain the pressurization function at 100%. The working range of master and
slaves must be configured to the same pressure level (HSTMaster = HSTSlaves).
Dimensioning: If the customer requires, for example 2 TecBoxes with 100% output redundancy: 1 TecBox as master
and 1 TecBox as Slave are configured for 100% of the total output. The total expansion volume is
divided proportionately between the vessels. TecBoxes and vessels are the same as each other. 33
Hydraulic connection: We recommend connecting them to a common expansion pipe, which is of sufficient dimensions for
de
system output. If there are more than one expansion vessels, these must be linked to each other on
the air side. fr

Operation Inspection | Disassembly
Inspection
There are no unified international regulations for the acceptance test prior to commissioning and pe-
riodic inspections. Please follow the local regulations applying at the place where the Compresso is
installed. It is usually the vessels that determine how the installation is classified.These are CE type-
tested in accordance with guideline PED/DEP 97/23/EC for pressurised equipment.
In Switzerland, the Compresso does not require authorisation from the SVTI if the installation is pro-
tected in such a way that PSCH is not exceeded.
For periodic inspections, openings are provided for flange-type or endoscope inspections.
Disassembly
Before testing or disassembly, the Compresso TecBox and vessels must be depressurised and al-
lowed to cool. Proceed slowly and carefully when venting or draining the equipment. The system is
!
pressurised! Follow the instructions in the «Assembly» section when loosening the polyamide hoses
on the air side!
! Caution: Limited 2. To take the secondary vessel out of service while the system is running :
operation only! In this case, the Compresso can continue to operate with the primary vessel only.
2.1 Compresso on auto.
2.2 Close the lock shield valves (7) on the expansion pipes for the secondary vessels.
2.3 Shut off the secondary vessel (3) on the air side of the primary vessel (2), and similarly for any
34
additional secondary vessels, and shut off the ball valve at the T-branch (3.2.1).
de 2.4 Drain the secondary vessel (3) at the local drain valve.
System pressurised 2.5 Carefully open the condensate drain valve KV on the secondary vessel (3) concerned, until the
fr !
(air-water spray) vessel is pressureless. The vessel is now out of service and can be separated from the system.

Safety
Use
! Compresso C... is a modular, precision pressurization system ± 0.1 bar with compressors, for closed hea-
ting, solar and cooling water systems. Uses other than those described here require prior agreement from
Pneumatex. The system carries a statement of conformity with EU guidelines. The local regulations apply-
ing at the place of installation should also be complied with.
Follow the instructions
! Assembly, operation, maintenance, and disassembly must be carried out as stated in these instructions
and in accordance with best practice. If anything is unclear, please contact, Pneumatex customer service.
Tests required for commissioning and periodic inspections must be performed according to the regulations
in the country where the device is installed and operated. Before disassembling pressurised components,
the expansion vessel must be depressurised.
Personnel
! Assembly and operating personnel must have the appropriate skills and training.
Installation room
! Access to the installation room should be restricted to authorised and specialised personnel. The statics in
the floor must be able to support the maximum operating and assembly conditions. The electrical, fresh
water, and waste water connections must be of sufficient capacity for the equipment. The room must be
thoroughly ventilated.
Equipment quality
! The materials used must meet current regulations and there should be no visible damage, particularly on
pressurised parts. Welding on pressurised parts or modifications to the electrical wiring are not acceptable.
Only the manufacturer's original parts should be used.
Correct parameters
! The information concerning manufacturer, year of manufacture, serial number and technical specifications
should be taken from the type plates on the TecBox and on the expansion vessels. Appropriate measures
should be taken for pressure and temperature protection in accordance with the regulations, to ensure that
values do not exceed or fall below the stated maximum and minimum operating parameters respectively.
Accidental contact protection
! in case of high temperatures. Insulation is usually limited to expansion pipes and intermediate vessels in
heating systems. Caution! High temperatures are reached under the TecBox cover during operation.
EN 60529 accidental contact protection corresponding to the IP Code indicated on the type plate. 35
Water quality de
! The Compresso is designed for use in closed heating, solar, and cooling systems with water that does not
contain aggressive or toxic agents. The Pneumatex airproof butyl rubber bag securely prevents the diffu- fr
sion of oxygen in the expansion vessel(s), and water from coming into direct contact with the vessel wall.
en
The entire system should be dimensioned and operated so as to minimise the oxygen that is drawn in with
the make-up water or through permeable parts. Water treatment systems should be designed, installed nl
and operated using the latest technology.
Electrical connection
! Electrical wiring and connections should be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with cur-
rent local regulations. The system must be placed at zero potential before working on electrical components.
Failure to follow these instructions, particularly the safety instructions, can result in impaired function, damage
to equipment and faults in the Compresso, as well as injuries to people. In this case, no liability for claims under
warranty can be accepted.
