For equivalent lengths over 330ft please contact the Manufacturer's Sales Office.
INFORMATION
The diameter of the refrigerant lines between the air-conditioner and the condensing unit must be sized according to the length, and therefore these will not
always match the inside diameter of the weld fittings supplied by the manufacturer.
The pressure drops generated in the connecting pipes in the machines in two sections, cause a reduction in the cooling capacity and an increase in the
electrical energy required by the compressor to perform its work.
Special care must be taken when insulating the suction line pipes, to avoid formation of condensate.
Check and make sure the indoor thermal heat load is never less than 30-35% of the air-conditioning capacity installed.
ATTENTION
The piping installed by the installer to connect the indoor unit to the outdoor unit must undergo pressure strength testing (in accordance with EN378§6.3.3)
and tightness testing (in accordance with EN378§6.3.4). The tests must be documented. The pressure used for pressure strength testing depends on the
category of piping and the maximum allowable pressure shown on the unit's rating plate: Cat. I or lower, test pressure at least 1.10 X PS

8.5 STARTING AND STOPPING THE UNIT
Move remote switch SA1 (if featured) on the ON position. ON
- The operations for STARTING and STOPPING the unit are controlled by the combined CRC indoor unit.
CRCC
When power is supplied to the unit, wait around 35 seconds (time taken for the program to load) and then start the unit from the keypad (ENTER + USER PASSWORD) and the fans will start
automatically.
Make sure that the chilled water valve is working correctly;
Check that the sections of corrugated pipe for draining condensate have been filled with water during installation.
INFORMATION
The flexible connections available in the price list are PN10.
- joints in three pieces, near the fittings, to simplify the removal of the unit;
- on-off valves to disconnect the unit from the water circuit: where possible use ball valves with full opening to minimise
pressure drop.
The water pipes can be connected either from the top or the bottom. On the side uses, remove the cap from the inlet and out- let
manifolds and connect the flexible piping.
Make sure that the cross-section of the chilled waterlines and the characteristics of the circulating pump are suitable: an insufficient
water flow-rate affects performance of the air-conditioner. Check that the water inlet and outlet connections are correct.
Insulate all the chilled water lines with closed cell material (e.g.: Armaflex or equivalent), to prevent condensation; the insulation
must allow access to the valves and the three-piece joints.
Make sure that the water circuit has been filled with an antifreeze mixture containing the right percentage of ethylene glycol.
INFORMATION
To select the pipes see the tables on “Continuous pressure drop for STEEL PIPES”
Make sure that the water contained in the water circuit meets the following requirements throughout the entire life of the system:
Explanatory notes:
ref.1: A greater concentration of hydrogen ions (pH) than 9 implies a high risk of deposits, whereas a lower pH than 7 implies a high risk of corrosion.
ref.2: The hardness measures the amount of Ca and Mg carbonate dissolved in the water with a temperature lower than 100°C (temporary hardness). A high hardness implies a high
risk of deposits.
ref.3: The concentration of chloride ions with higher values than those indicated causes corrosion.
ref. 4 - 5 - 8: The presence of iron and manganese ions and oxygen leads to corrosion.
ref.6 - 7: Carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide are impurities that promote corrosion.
ref.9: Usually in water from the waterworks it is a value of between 0.2 and 0.3 ppm. High values cause corrosion.
ref.10: The presence of ammonia reinforces the oxidising power of oxygen
ref.11: Below the value shown in the table, there is a risk of corrosion due to the trigger of galvanic currents between copper and other less noble metals.
Values of the parameters outside the indicated ranges can lead to the formation of deposits and limescale and/or favour corrosive phenomena within the plant. For operating fluids other than water
(mixtures of ethylene and propylene glycol) it is recommended to use specific inhibitors, designed to offer thermal stability within the operating temperature range and protection against corrosion. It
is necessary that, in the presence of dirty and / or aggressive waters, an intermediate heat exchanger is installed upstream of the heat exchangers.

9.1 CORRECTION FACTOR
9.1.1 ETHYLENE GLYCOL SOLUTIONS
Water and ethylene glycol solutions used as a heat carrier in the place of water reduce the performance of the unit. Multiply the performance figures by the values given in the following table.
Continuous pressure drop for STEEL PIPES (inches) – Water temperature = 10°C
Water flow, l/h
SELECTION EXAMPLE:
• consider a limit speed inside the pipe of 1-1,2m/s
• cross-reference the required water flow-rate (in the example 5.000 l/h)
• determine the pressure drop according to the selected diameter (in the example 35mm c.a./m)

ATTENTION
All work must be performed, components selected and materials used in complete accordance with the legislation in force in material in the country
concerned, and considering the operating conditions and intended uses of the system, by qualified personnel.
CRCX-CRCD / i-HCAT
ATTENTION
Before performing any work on the electrical parts, make sure that there is no live voltage and that the disconnecting switch on the i-HCAT is open (in
position “O”).
The condensing units leave the factory fully wired and simply require connection to the mains power supply and the remote switch (ON OFF), operations that must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with current legislation. For all electrical work, refer to the electrical wiring diagrams in this manual. It is also recommended to check that:
- The characteristics of the mains electricity supply are adequate for the power ratings indicated in the electrical specifications below, also bearing in mind the possible use of other equipment at
the same time.
ATTENTION
Power to the unit must be turned on only after installation work (refrigerant circuit and electrical) has been completed.
All electrical connections must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with legislation in force in the country concerned.
Respect instructions for connecting phase, neutral and earth conductors. The power line should be fitted upstream with a suitable device to protect against short-circuits
and leakage to earth, isolating the installation from other equipment.
Voltage must be within a tolerance of ±10% of the rated power supply voltage for the unit (for three phase units, the unbalance between the phases must not exceed
2%). If these parameters are not respected, contact the electricity supply company.
For electrical connections use double insulation cable in conformity with legislation in force in the country concerned
If local and national standards require installation of a residual current circuit breaker upstream, use a type B device with threshold Id=300 mA.
Choose a model that features:
- High frequency current filtering
- Timer to help prevent disconnection due to the load of stray capacitance on start-up.
Before starting the unit, check the tightness of all the electrical connections and cables on the unit, as these may have come loose during handling and
transport.
If these devices are not visible from the electrical panel of the unit, they should be lockable
An effective earth connection is obligatory.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by the failure to correctly earth the unit.
In the case of three phase units, ensure the phases are connected correctly.
ATTENTION
Do not use water pipes to earth the unit.
Before performing any work on the electrical parts, make sure that there is no live voltage.
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the rated values for the unit (voltage, no. of phases, frequency) shown on the electrical panel. The power
supply voltage must be between ± 10% of the rated value: operation at voltages outside of these limits may void the warranty.
Connect the power cable to the IEC male plug supplied with the (see the photo on the side) and plug this into socket "P", shown in the figure,
located on the top of the unit.
Also connect the signal and auxiliary cable (as indicated on the wiring diagram supplied with the unit) to connector S on the top of the unit.
ATTENTION
- terminals that are not adequately tight may generate heat and sparks, causing fire.
- use suitably rated power supply cables.
- cables that are too small and undersized may generate heat and cause fires.
- do not run signal cables together with high voltage power cables (AC220-240V or higher), as interference may cause operating problems.
- do not lay low voltage cables together (30 Vdc or lower), as the interference from these cables may cause malfunctions.

11 CONDENSATE DRAIN
Condensate is removed from the pan located underneath the unit; the end of the drain pipe should be connected to the sewer- age system in the building via a rubber or plastic hose with an inside
diameter of 16 mm. During installation, pour water into the condensate collection pan so as to fill the drain trap with water.
i-HCAT unit
- High pressure switch with manual reset;
CRCX/CRCD/CRCC unit
- Low pressure switch with automatic reset;
- Dirty filter sensor (optional) (differential pressure switches);
- Temperature sensor or room temperature and humidity sensor (on units with humidity control).
The calibration values of the control and safety devices must not be altered.

CRC Operation and control
13.2 MODULATING WATER VALVE
The CRCC/CRCD units with chilled water circuit are fit-ted with a 2- or 3-way modulating valve complete with 3- position or 0-10 V servomotor.
ATTENTION
Disconnect power before working on the servomotor.
The servomotor position is proportional to the control voltage applied, between 0 and 10 Vdc.
Description
This servomotor with 0-10 V control is used to drive 2- or 3- way valves with 5.5 mm travel.
Functions
When the actuator is powered at 0-10 Vdc or with a 3 position signal, it transmits motion to the valve.
Auto-calibration - SSC619
When 24V AC/DC is supplied, the servomotor automatically and independently performs auto-calibration,
regardless of the signal.
This process takes around 60 seconds.
Maintenance
The servomotors are maintenance-free. If maintenance is required on the system, remember to:
• disconnect power (unplugging the connector);

Technical information
The vortex flow meter exploits the sequence of vortices produced by the fluid that comes into contact perpendicularly with a bluff body. The
frequency of such vortices is proportional to the flow rate of the fluid.
A special detector converts this frequency into an electrical signal for determining the fluid flow-rate.

14.4.2 HUMIDIFIER OPERATING PRINCIPLE
In the immersed electrode humidifier, the current that runs between the electrodes, through the water contained in the boiler cylinder, generates the heat required to boil the water.
By controlling the level of the water and the concentration of salts inside the steam cylinder (6) using the fill (7) and drain (8) solenoid valves, the amount of current delivered can be regulated, and
measured using a current transformer (2).
When steam production is required, the humidifier contactor CU closes (see the wiring diagram) so as to supply power to the immersed electrodes.
When the current falls below the set value due to the lowering of the water level, the fill valve (7) is opened.
The drain valve (8) is activated cyclically, depending on the characteristics of the supply water, so as to maintain the optimum salt concentration inside the cylinder (6).
The only periodical maintenance operations required are the inspection and cleaning of the parts in the steam production unit. The operations indicated below should be performed annually,
preferably before shutting down the unit in summer.
Proceed as follows:
- completely drain the water from the boiler using the MANUAL CONTROLS on the controller A1;
- disconnect the power supply by opening the main switch on the electrical panel;
- remove the fill pipe from the 3/4 GAS fitting on the fill solenoid valve;
- remove and clean the filter located inside the solenoid valve fitting;
- dismantle the drain assembly (shown in Figure 13), clean the pipes and remove any flakes of scale from the
cup-drain trap.
To supply the humidifier, use drinking water without any chemical treatment or demineralisation.
The characteristics of the water that supplies the humidifier must be within the following values:

14.5 HUMIDIFIER AND CONDENSATE DRAIN
Underneath the drain solenoid valve on the steam production unit is an attachment for draining the water.
This is already fitted with a hose coupling for connecting the hose running to the sewerage system in the
building.
A rubber or plastic hose should be used, resistant to 100°C, with an inside diameter of 32 mm. Fit a trap in
the section of the hose outside of the unit to avoid bad odours and to prevent water from overflowing from
the humidifier pan. During installation, pour water into the condensate collection pan and the humidifier pan,
so as to fill the drain traps outside and inside the unit with water. Downstream of the drain trap ensure a
minimum slope of 1%.
ATTENTION
the water exiting the steam cylinder is very hot. The humidifier drain hose must not be fastened to electrical cables and must run down vertically so as to
avoid any contact with these cables.

horizontal surface or fastening it horizon- tally to the wall through the holes provided on the frame.
The pump requires a drain hose with an inside diameter of 9 mm. Make sure the hoses are not
choked or twisted along the path between the pump and the point of drainage.
Securely fasten the hoses with a clamp to the pump outlet fitting, to prevent them from coming
loose and consequently causing water to be released at high pressure.
