1 - SAFETY CONSIDERATION
1.1 - General
Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be
hazardous if certain factors particular to the installation are not
considered: operating pressures, presence of electrical
components and voltages and the installation site itself
(elevated plinths, rooftops and built-up structures).
Only properly qualified installation engineers and technicians,
fully trained for the product, are authorised to install and start-
up the equipment safely.
During all servicing operations all instructions and
recommendations which appear in the installation and
service instructions for the product, as well as on tags and
labels fixed to the equipment and components and
accompanying parts supplied separately, must be read,
understood and followed.
• Apply all standard safety codes and practices.
• Wear safety glasses and gloves.
• Use the proper tools to move heavy objects. Move units
carefully and set them down gently.
1.2 - Avoid electrocution
Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) recommendations may be
permitted access to electrical components. It is particularly
recommended that all sources of electricity to the unit be
shut off before any work is begun. Shut off the main power
supply at the main circuit breaker or isolator.
IMPORTANT:
A label is provided on which to write the type and location of
the main power isolator or circuit breaker. The label is on the
front of the electrical box and must be completed in non-
erasable ink on site.
IMPORTANT:
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION:
Even when the main circuit breaker or isolator is switched
off, certain circuits such as those for crankcase heaters and
trace heaters may still be energised, since they may be
connected to a separate power source.
RISK OF BURNS:
Electrical currents cause components to get hot either
temporarily or permanently. Handle power cable,
electrical cables and conduits, terminal box covers and motor
frames with great care.
IMPORTANT:
This equipment uses and emits electromagnetic signals. If it
is not installed and used in complete accordance with the
instructions given here it may cause radio interference. Tests
have shown that the equipment conforms to all applicable
codes with respect to electromagnetic compatibility.

2 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 - General
Pro-Dialog is a system for controlling 30DQ air-to-water heat
pumps with single or dual circuits. Pro-Dialog controls
compressor start-up and capacity reductions needed to
maintain the desired leaving chilled water temperature. It
controls the operation of the fan to maintain the correct
condensing pressure in each circuit. It controls and optimi-
ses defrost cycles for each circuit to minimise the loss of
heating capacity. It provides intelligent control from the
leaving or entering water temperature as a function of
outdoor air temperature.
Safety devices are constantly monitored by Pro-Dialog to
ensure their safe operation. Pro-Dialog also gives access to a
Quick Test program covering all inputs and outputs.
All PRO-DIALOG Plus controls can work in accordance
with three independent modes:
• Local mode: the machine is controlled by commands from
the user interface.
• Remote mode: the machine is controlled by remote contacts
(volt-free contacts, analogue signals).
• CCN mode: the machine is controlled by commands from
the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN). In this case, a data
communication cable is used to connect the unit to the CCN
communication bus.
The operating mode must be chosen with the Operating
Type selection button described in section 4.2.2.
When the PRO-DIALOG Plus system operates
autonomously (Local or Remote mode) it retains all of its
own control capabilities but does not offer any of the
features of the CCN network.
2.2 - Abbreviations used

3 - HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

3.1 - General
The control system consists of at least a basic board and a
user interface with, depending on the application, one or
more slave boards such as compressor boards, 4xDO boards
or 4xAI-2xAO boards. If used, slave boards are connected
to the basic board via an internal communication bus (SIO).

also communicate with elements of the Carrier Comfort INTERNAL BUS WIRING (BETWEEN BOARDS)

Network via the CCN bus.

When “conF” shows on the user interface, this means that
the basic board must be configured. This can only be done
by Carrier Service.
Power interrupt detection: the ACF contacts on J6 detect
any interruption or dropout in the power supply. If the
contact opens, the unit is immediately shut down and the
basic board is re-initialised. This contact must therefore be
normally closed when the power to the controller is switched
on. After a power dropout, the unit restarts automatically
without the need for an external command.
3.2.2 - Slave boards
3.2.5 - Slave board addresses
Every slave board (compressor board, 4xDO or 4xAI-2xAO
board) has an address which must be set up using the red
SIO address switch (marked SIO ADDRESS) at the top
righthand corner of each board. This switch consists of 8
DIP switches. The switch is disabled when it is in the OPEN
position.
NOTE:
Any incorrect address will prevent the unit from starting.
Turn off the power before amending the address of any
auxiliary board.

Compressor board
This board is used to control a compressor that is not 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
directly controlled by the basic board (unit with more than two
compressors). Up to six compressor boards can be connected to OPEN
the basic board.

4xAI-2xAO board
This board can be used to read additional sensors (oil pressure),
an optional 3-way proportional valve, an optional 4-way
bypass water valve or variable-speed fans (Varifan option).
3.2.3 - The user interface
The user interface is in two parts:
The main interface
This gives access to all of the control parameters for the
unit. It consists of 2-digit primary display block and a
secondary 4-digit display block with 10 LEDs and 5 but-
tons.
The summary interface
This gives quick access to just the main control parameters
for the unit. It comprises 12 buttons and 16 LEDs, and
includes a schematic diagram of the unit.

The main interface gives access to the full array of
operating parameters via 10 menus (represented by 10
icons). Each menu contains up to 20 items (numbered
from 0 to 19).
The main interface consists of 4 functional blocks which
are described below.
Block 1
A two-digit display showing the number of the item selected.
Block 2
A four-digit display showing the contents of the item
selected.
Block 3
Consists of a MENU button, 10 LEDs and 10 icons
indicating the menu selected.
Block 4
Consists of three selector buttons: Enter button and Up and
Down arrows*.
Up and Down arrows* are used to scroll through the
numbers of the menu items in block 2, or to increase or
decrease the value of any modifiable parameter.
The Enter button* gives access to the modification mode or
validates a modification.
The On/Off button* is used to start/stop the unit and modify
its operating type.
4.2.2.1 - General
The Start/Stop button can be controlled by one of the following
methods (Control Type):
• locally on the actual unit (Local Control Type)
• by remote control with the aid of user contacts (Remote
Control Type)
• by remote control with the aid of the CCN network (CCN
Control Type)
The Main Interface includes an On/Off button* (called the
operating type selector button) which can be used to select
one of the above control types.
In addition, when the local control type is selected, this button
can be used to select an operating type for the unit (e.g. second
setpoint, third setpoint, cooling, heating, etc.).
This combination of control typed and modes that can be
selected using the On/Off button* is known as the Operating
Type.
The Operating Type selector button can also be used locally
to halt the unit or to activate one of the following operating
types:

5 - 30DQ PRO-DIALOG CONTROL OPERATION
5.1 - Machine start/stop control
The unit is in the off mode (and is not allowed to start) or is
stopping when at least one of the following conditions is
satisfied:
• The unit is in Local Off or Local Off Frost Protection
Operating Type (LOFF or LFrP). Mode 1 is active.
• The unit is in CCN control mode because the CCN Operating
Type (CCn) has been selected and the control has received a
stop command from the CCN network. Mode 2 is active.
• The unit is in Remote control because the Remote Operating
Type (rEM) has been selected and the control has received a
command to be off from the remote contacts connected on the
customer’s terminal block. Mode 3 is active.
• The unit is changing from heating to cooling or from cooling
to heating. The unit goes in an off mode before starting again.
• The start-up delay has not expired. Mode 7 is active.
• The unit has shutdown totally due to an alarm.
• The CCN network has given a command for an emergency
shutdown (CCN variable EMSTOP activated).
The unit is in the on mode and is allowed to start compressors
if it is not in the off mode and if one of the following condit-
ions is satisfied:
- The unit is in one of the Local On Operating Type
(L-C1, L-C2, L-H1, L-H2 or L-H3). Mode 4 is active.
- The unit is in CCN control mode because the CCN
Operating Type (CCn) has been selected and the control
has received a start command from the CCN network.
Mode 5 is active.
- The unit is in Remote control mode because the Remote
Operating Type (rEM) has been selected and the control
has received a command to be on from the remote contacts
connected on the customer’s terminal block. Mode 6 is
active.
5.2 - Water heat exchanger pump control
The water heat exchanger pump is turned on when this
option is configured (Carrier Service only) and when the unit is
in one of the on modes described above or is in delay mode
(mode 7). The pump is still on when the unit is changing over
from heating to cooling or vice versa.
There is a one minute delay after the pump is turned on,
before the first compressor can be started and a one minute
delay after the unit switches to the off mode, before the pump
is turned off.
5.3 - Heat exchanger frost protection
This function is used to protect a water heat exchanger against
frost, if the unit is shut down for a long time due to low
outdoor temperature.
The unit is in frost protection mode when it controls a water
pump and when one of the following conditions is satisfied:
• Unit is in Local Off Frost Protection Operating Type (LFrP).
• Unit is in Remote Control Operating Type (rEM) and has
received a command to be off from the remote contacts
connected on the customer’s terminal block and Unit Frost
Protection Select in Remote Control has been selected (item 8
of Configuration Menu - See section 4.2.10).
• Unit is in CCN Operating Type (CCn) and has received a
command to be off and in frost protection mode from the
network.
• The unit has totally shut down due to an alarm, and Unit Frost
Protection Select to an alarm has been verified (item 8 of
Configuration Menu - See section 4.2.10).
Frost protection becomes active when the water heat exchanger
temperature is lower than the Frost Protection setpoint (item 17
of Main Interface Setpoint Menu). In that case, the water pump
is turned on and one electrical heater stage is turned on (if
configured).
5.4 - Safety lock control
This permits checking the status of a safety loop. Its function is
to prevent the unit from starting if the contact is open while the
delay at start-up has expired. The contact must also stay closed
as long as the unit is not shut down through Local, Remote or
CCN control. The opening of the contact for more than 8
seconds causes an immediate shutdown of the unit by default.
5.5 - Heat/cool selection
Heat/cool selection can be made manually or automatically.
5.5.1 - Auto mode
Heat/cool change-over is automatic as a function of the outdoor
temperature when the unit is in auto control mode.
Unit is in Auto control because either:
• The Local On Auto Operating Type (L-At) has been selected.
• The unit is in CCN Operating Type (CCn) and is commanded
to be in Auto mode through the CCN network.
• The unit is in Remote Operating Type (rEM) and has received
a command to be in Auto mode from the remote volt-free
contacts (see section 3.4.2 for contact description).
When in Auto control mode, the outdoor temperature deter-
mines the heat/cool change-over:
• Unit is in cooling mode when the outdoor temperature
exceeds the cooling mode threshold setpoint.
• Unit is in heating mode when the outdoor temperature is
below the heating mode threshold setpoint.
• Unit is stopped in stand-by mode and no compressor can be
turned on when the outdoor temperature is between cooling
and heating mode threshold setpoints.
NOTE:
A 0.5 K change (dead band) in outdoor temperature is re-
quired to initiate change-over.
5.5.2 - Manual heat/cool selection
Unit is in heat/cool manual control select because either:
• Local On Cooling (L-C1 or L-C2) or Heating (L-H1, L-H2,
or L-H3) Operating Type has been selected.
• The unit is in CCN Operating Type (CCn) and has received a
command to be in cooling or heating from the CCN network.
• The unit is in Remote Operating Type (rEM) and has received
a command to be in cooling or heating from the remote con-
tacts (see section 3.4.2 for contact description).

5.13 - Electrical heater stage control
Up to 3 electrical heater stage can be installed on the unit as an
option for supplementing hot water heating:
Electrical heater stages are added for supplementary heating
capacity when all the following conditions are satisfied:
- The unit is at 100% of its total available capacity.
- The outdoor temperature is below a minimum setpoint
(configurable by Carrier Service only).
- The error on the control point is greater than a setpoint
configurable by Carrier Service.
- No stage limiting is active.
If the unit does not control a three-way bypass water valve and
is not allowed to start in heating because of heat exchanger low
entering water temperature (mode 17 is active), all electrical
heater stages are turned on until mode 17 is no longer active.
If a three-way bypass water valve is used, all electrical heater
stages are turned on until the valve is less than 90% open.
Electrical heater stages are used when the unit is in frost
protection control mode. See section 5.3.
5.14 - Three-way water valve control
This proportional valve allows starting the unit in heating mode
when the water heat exchanger leaving temperature is below
15oC. Without this valve, the unit is not allowed to start (mode
17).
This valve is modulated until the leaving water temperature
reaches a correct value. The valve is then fully closed. Valve
setpoint control can be modified by Carrier Service only.
In cooling mode this valve is fully closed.
5.15 - Bypass water valve control
This on/off four-way valve is used to bypass a water heat
exchanger tank, when the unit is in heating mode. This valve is
controlled by a 0-10 V d.c. output signal. Signal is 0 V when
the unit is in cooling mode. It is 10 V when the unit is in
heating or stand-by mode.
5.16 - Condensing pressure control in cooling mode
In cooling mode, the condensing temperature is controlled to a
fixed setpoint. This is done by cycling condenser fans on and
off and by adjusting the Varifan speed (if used). The condens-
ing temperature setpoint can be modified through the Main
Interface Setpoint Menu.
The unit can have up to 2 independent fan stages per circuit
and, subject to its configuration and wiring, one Varifan per
circuit.
NOTE:
In heating mode, all available fan stages are turned on.
Varifan (if installed) is set at its maximum speed value.
5.17 - Defrost mode
This function is performed in heating mode to reduce the
amount of frost covering the air heat exchanger coil. The
defrost cycle can affect only one circuit at any time.
The defrost cycle simultaneously stops the fan and reverses the
4-way refrigerant valve, forcing the unit into the cooling mode.
If the suction pressure has been less than - 8oC for longer than
6 minutes and if the entering water temperature is above 10°C,
the defrost cycle is initiated for at least 90 seconds and contin-
ues for 8 minutes maximum. There is a minimum interval of 60
minutes between defrost cycles, in order to maintain a high
coefficient of performance. The defrost cycle normally termi-
nates when a sensor at a return bend of the air heat exchanger
senses a temperature of 26oC. In addition, defrost is stopped
regardless of other conditions when the entering water tem-
perature drops below 8°C.
During defrost, the number of compressors is limited to one.
An additional compressor (if available) can be added during
defrost cycle if the end of defrost sensor does not reach a
sufficient temperature. Fan stages should restart momentarily if
the pressure rises to 22 bar during the defrost cycle.
All the above parameters can be modified by Carrier
Service only to adapt the unit to specific operating conditions.
