A = name plate
After unpacking the unit, please inspect it for any damage. If any items are missing or damaged, specify this on the delivery note
and inform the carrier thereof by registered letter within three days of delivery of the unit.
Store at a maximum temperature of 50°C.

3 - WARRANTY
The warranty is effective for a period of 12 months from the date the unit is first commissioned into service provided said date
occurs within three months of the invoice date.
It is effective for a period of 15 months from the unit invoice date in all other cases.
NOTE: refer to our general terms and conditions of sale for further information.

4 - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid any risk of accident during installation, commissioning and adjustments, the following equipment specificities must be
taken into account:
- Pressurised refrigeration circuits
- Presence of refrigerant
- Presence of electrical voltage
Only experienced and qualified persons may work on such equipment.
The recommendations and instructions in this manual and on each drawing provided with the unit must be followed.
In the case of units with pressure equipment or components, we recommend that you contact your professional organisation for
information on regulations that apply to operators or owners of pressure equipment or components. The specifications of this
pressure equipment or these pressure components are given on the name plates or in the regulatory documentation provided
with the product.
A fire protection device is fitted as standard on all units.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the main disconnect switch in the unit's electrical panel is in the OFF position before working on the unit.

5 - UNIT LOCATION
These units are typically used for refrigeration and are not required to withstand earthquakes. Earthquake resistance has therefore
not been checked.
The fitter must check the following points before setting up the unit in its intended location:
- The unit must be installed outdoors
- The surface area of the ground or structure must be strong enough to bear the unit's weight.
- The unit must be perfectly level.
- There must be sufficient clearance around and above the unit to allow servicing and maintenance (see dimensional drawing
provided with unit).
- The room housing the unit must comply with the requirements of regulation EN 378-3 and other specifications applicable to the
installation site.
- The intended location must be above flood level.

NA06.130 C EN - 2
- Position the unit above the average snow depth in the region where the unit is installed.
- It is strongly recommended to place anti-vibration mounts between the supporting surface and the unit frame and to place
flexible couplings on the refrigerant pipes to keep vibrations transmitted by solid materials to a minimum (see section on vibration
dampers).
- Sound level: our units are designed to operate at low noise levels (for this type of equipment).
However, as soon as you begin designing your system, you should take into consideration the outdoor environment to estimate
the radiated noise and the building type to estimate the noise transmitted through the air and by solid materials (vibrations).
Have an analysis carried out by an acoustical engineer.
Important: The ambient temperature must not exceed 50°C during the unit's off cycles.

6 - HANDLING AND POSITIONING

EN
To raise the unit, attach the slings to the designated handling holes.
The coordinates of the centre of gravity and the positions of the anchorage points are given on the dimensional drawing.
It is possible to raise the unit with a fork-lift truck provided the necessary precautions are taken to prevent it sliding on the fork-lift
truck's forks.
Warning:
- Only attach the slings to the anchorage points intended for this purpose and which are designated on the unit.
- Use slings with a suitable lifting capacity and follow the lifting instructions on the drawings provided with the unit.
- Warning: the centre of gravity is not necessarily in the middle of the unit and the forces applied to the slings are not always
identical.
- Raise and lower the unit carefully. Take care not to tilt it by more than 15° to avoid any subsequent problems with its operation.
- To avoid damaging the casing, use textile slings with shackles.
- Use a frame with an adjustable centre of gravity to spread the slings away from the top of the unit.
- Always protect the unit casing (panels, uprights, front access door) from damage during handling. Only the frame is designed to
withstand handling.
- Safety during lifting can be ensured only if all these instructions are followed. Failure to do so may result in damage to the
equipment and physical injury.

EN - 5 NA 06.130 C
10 - REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS
In order to meet the operating conditions (flow rates, pressure drops), a dimensioning study must be performed.
The diameters of the pipes are not necessarily the same as those of the unit.
Once the unit is fitted into place, make the refrigerant connections between the condensation unit and the direct expansion coil.
Take care when routing the pipes. Ensure the shortest distance is used (maximum pipe length 15 metres with maximum change
in level of 6 metres). Strictly observe all the fitting instructions. Avoid allowing any contaminants to enter, and carry out all brazing
under a nitrogen purge.
Note:
- Verify the type of refrigerant before working on the refrigerating circuit.
- Only use the fluid specified on the name plate.
- Do not use oxygen or air to purge the pipes or pressurise the unit.
- Table of copper piping diameters for a maximum length of 15 m with a maximum change in level of 6 m.
Liquid sight glass
Located on the liquid line just after the dryer, the liquid sight glass is used to monitor the charge in the unit and check for moisture
in the circuit. Bubbles in the sight glass mean that the refrigerant load is insufficient or that the refrigerating circuit contains non-
condensable products.
If the sight glass indicator paper changes colour, there is moisture in the circuit.
Warning:
Some of the sight glasses may turn yellow when the machine is powered off as their sensitivity is affected by the fluid temperature.
The sight glasses should return to green after the unit has been operating for a few hours.
If the sight glass remains yellow, there is excessive moisture in the circuit. A specialist intervention is required.

11 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
●● The units are designed in accordance with the requirements of European standard EN 60204-1.
●● They comply with the requirements of the machinery and EMC directives.
●● All wiring must be connected in accordance with the regulations that apply to the installation site (e.g. NF C 15100 in
France).
●● Always refer to the wiring diagram provided with the unit.
●● Follow the power supply specifications indicated on the name plate.
●● The voltage must remain within the range indicated:
-- Power circuit:
●● 400 V (+10 %/-10 %) - 3 ph - 50 Hz + Earth (CD 90 to 700)
Make sure there is no excessive phase shift (<2%) on the supply.
If these conditions are not met, the CIAT warranty will automatically be voided. Please contact your electricity supplier.
●● The cable will be carefully determined by the fitter, based on:
-- The maximum nominal current (refer to the specifications on page 10)
-- The distance between the unit and its power supply.
-- The protection to be placed at the power source.
-- The neutral operating conditions.
-- The electrical connections (refer to the wiring diagram provided with the unit).
-- Specifications and regulations applicable at the site.
●● The electrical connections are to be made as follows:
-- Connection to the power circuit
-- Connection of the protective conductor to the earth terminal.
-- Connect the general fault alarm potential-free (dry) contact and the automatic operation control (where applicable).
●● Connection of external safety devices (compressors slaved to the air handling unit operation) and automatic control (timer
control).
●● Connection of the compressor stage control (thermostat or controller, not supplied with the unit).
●● Connection of the liquid electromagnetic valve (not supplied).
●● The automatic operation control must be connected using a potential-free (dry) contact.
●● The power circuit breakers have a standard breaking capacity of 10 KA.
●● The unit's power supply is connected on the lower section, on the pipe connection side. The power cables are routed
through an opening.

NA06.130 C EN - 6
12 - CONTROL
●● The compressors are controlled by a thermostat (not supplied by CIAT) or a regulation system delivering one or more
potential-free (dry) NO contacts.
●● The fans operate as follows:
All-season operation:
Condensation pressure control by HPR pressure switches triggered in series, high and low speed (80 to 300 models) 1 and 2 fans
(350 to 700 models).

13 - CONTROL AND SAFETY DEVICES

All of the unit's safety devices are grouped under a single safety relay. If a safety device is triggered and stops the unit, look for
the fault and reset the safety device if necessary. EN
The unit will restart when the minimum time required by the short-cycle protection elapses.
Refer to the summary table on page 10 for information on how to set the safety devices.
13.1 Low pressure switch
This low pressure switch has a safety function. It is connected to the compressor intake pipe, and monitors its low pressure. If the
pressure drops below the setpoint, the power supply is cut to the compressor(s) on the refrigerating circuit in question. Setting/
tripping values: see table on page 10.
Pressure switch with automatic reset; the unit restarts at the end of the short-cycle protection.
13.2 High pressure switch
This high pressure switch has a safety function. It is connected to the compressor discharge pipe, and monitors its high pressure.
If the pressure exceeds the setpoint, the power supply is cut to the compressor(s) on the refrigerating circuit in question.
Deactivation value: see table on page 10.
The high pressure switches are reset manually; reset the pressure switch and wait for the end of short-cycle protection.
13.3 Internal compressor protection
Each compressor is equipped with integral electronic protection which has a safety function. It protects the electric motor against
overheating. If a fault occurs, the circuit in question is shut down.
-- Automatic restart once the fault has disappeared and at the end of short-cycle protection.

14 - PRE-COMMISSIONING OPERATIONS
Note: never commission the unit without first reading this manual in full.
●● Electrical connection
●● Refrigerant connection
●● System pressure test
●● Finding leaks
●● Installing the desiccant cartridge (350 to 700 models)
●● Placing under vacuum
●● Refrigerant load
IMPORTANT: INFORMATION ON PRESSURE TESTING
●● It is forbidden to discharge R410A into the atmosphere, therefore refrigerant connection pressure testing cannot be
carried out using R410A.
●● Fill the two refrigerant pipes and the evaporator with nitrogen and helium (if you have a helium detector) up to a
maximum pressure of 10 bar.
●● Check all the connections for leaks.
●● Always place a regulator between the nitrogen cylinder and the refrigerating circuit.
●● Never use oxygen or acetylene instead of R nitrogen. Doing so may result in a violent explosion
●● During the tests and when the unit is stopped or operating, the maximum permitted pressure must be less than or
equal to that specified on the name plate. Do not exceed this value.
WARNING: INFORMATION ON TESTING UNDER VACUUM
●● Never use the compressor as a vacuum pump; it is not designed for such a purpose. Use a vacuum pump capable of
creating a vacuum of 1 mmHg.
14.1 Pre-commissioning check
●● Make sure the liquid valves and outlets are open
●● Start up the fan on the air handling unit casing and check that it is slaved to the condensation unit
●● Set the control thermostat and check its position (must be positioned on the return or in the room)
●● Make sure all the electrical terminals are securely tightened
●● Check that the network voltage matches the unit voltage and that its value remains within the authorised limits (+10%/-10%
compared to 400 V nominal voltage, phase shift < 2%)
●● Leave the compressor crankcase heater under voltage for a few hours before switching on the compressor
(6 hours)
●● Touch the crankcases to make sure that the heaters are operating correctly (they should be warm)

EN - 7 NA 06.130 C
15 - COMMISSIONING
●● Fill the system with refrigerant:
●● Close the liquid outlet valve
●● Connect the refrigerant bottle to the charging valve. Do not tighten it.
●● Open the valve on the bottle momentarily to drain the coupling. Retighten the coupling
●● Open the charging valve
●● Open the tap on the refrigerant bottle
●● Keep the low pressure switch closed
●● Set the compressor control switch (marked on the wiring diagram) to ON. The compressors must start up after the short-
cycle protection time delay.
●● Activate the compressors in series.
●● Top up the charge from time to time, close the tap on the refrigerant bottle and open the liquid outlet tap.
●● Check the fluid flow in the sight glass and top up the charge gradually.
●● Make sure the charge is correct by monitoring the overheating and the subcooling, remove the charge devices, making sure
that tap on the refrigerant bottle is properly closed and that the liquid outlet valve is fully open (seat at the rear).
15.1 Start-up sequence
●● Run the cold or heat emitters to provide a thermal load so that the cooler can operate.
●● Close the switch (marked on the wiring diagram).
●● Once the cabinet has been electrically connected and the main switch closed, the crankcase heater is under voltage. The
compressor must be started up a few hours (6 hours) after the heater has been powered up.
●● The unit's internal safety devices are activated. If a safety device is deactivated, find the fault and reset the safety device (in
the case of a safety device with manual reset).
●● The control stages should operate in series, depending on the request.
NOTE 1: Use either of the following to turn off the unit in non-emergency situations:
-- The switch marked on the wiring diagram.
-- A potential-free (dry) contact on the automatic operation control.
Do not use the master switch as the electrical panel must remain under voltage (crankcase heaters).
NOTE 2: During the months when the system is in use, the electrical panel must be permanently under voltage so that the
crankcase heater(s) are under voltage when the compressor(s) are stopped.
15.2 Check immediately
●● That the condenser fan(s) are turning in the right direction (if not, swap two general supply wires)
●● That the discharge is heating (using a contact sensor)
●● That the input current is normal (see table and value affixed to the compressors)
●● Check the operation of all the safety devices (see table for setting value)
NOTE: When a condensation unit starts to operate, a number of problems may be caused by insufficient suction pressure or
excessive condensation pressure:
The main scenarios are as follows:
Suction pressure too low
-- Insufficient air flow on the direct expansion coil (the fans are turning in the wrong direction, operating pressure too low,
filter fouled)
-- Temperature of conditioned air too low (insufficient thermal load)
Excessive condensation pressure
-- Poor condenser ventilation (suction or discharge blocked, fans turning in wrong direction)
-- Suction air too hot (recirculation)
IMPORTANT
As SCROLL compressors rotate in a specific direction, immediately check the following:
1/ The discharge temperature rises quickly
2/ The pressure in the high pressure switch rises and the pressure in the low pressure switch drops
In the event of a problem, check the unit's power supply and reverse the order of the phases on the main power cable.

Make sure that the unit has been disconnected from its power source before any maintenance.
Note down the operating readings and perform the checks indicated in the above table at least twice a year and each time a unit
is commissioned for seasonal use.
●● To prevent accidents and ensure proper ventilation of the condenser, keep the unit and the space around it clean and free of
clutter.
●● Check the coil for dust, fibres, leaves and anything else that may collect on it. Clean it with a soft brush or a vacuum
cleaner. It can also be cleaned using a water spray:
-- at low pressure
-- in the direction of the fins
-- in the opposite direction to the air
●● Periodically clean the refrigerant pipes
●● Make sure the mountings and all components are securely tightened: pipes, couplings, panels, etc. in order to prevent
vibrations that may damage the refrigerating circuit and cause refrigerant leaks.
●● The electrical connections must be tightened before initial commissioning, as well as a few weeks after this, prior to each
restart in the case of seasonal operation and at least once a year.
To ensure your unit runs smoothly and to obtain service under the warranty, take out a maintenance contract with your
fitter or an approved maintenance company.

22 - SERVICING
22.1 Safety instructions
Perform operating inspections in accordance with national regulations.
Do not climb on the machine; use a platform to work at the necessary height.
Do not climb on the copper refrigerant pipes.
All work on the unit's electrical or refrigerant systems must be performed by a qualified authorised technician.
Any opening or closing of a shut-off valve must be performed with the unit off.
The liquid valve (located just before the dryer) must be opened completely when there is refrigerant in the circuit.
Do not work on any electrical components without first turning off the main disconnect switch in the electrical box. Although the
compressors are turned off, the power circuit remains energised until the unit disconnect switch is opened.
Furthermore, there may still be live elements: this is due to external controllers connected to the orange disconnect terminals on EN
the main terminal. Unplug the removable portion of these terminals before commencing any work.
The surfaces of the compressor and pipes may reach temperatures of over 100°C and cause burns if touched. Likewise, the
surfaces of the compressor may in some cases drop to freezing temperatures.
It is therefore important to take special care when conducting maintenance work.
Technicians working on the unit must wear the necessary safety gear (e.g. gloves, eye protection, insulating clothing, safety
shoes, etc.).
22.2 Noise
Similarly, we recommend that personnel working close to sources of high noise emission wear sound-proof headphones. These
sound-proof headphones should in no way impede the wearing of other protective equipment.
22.3 Oil
Oils for refrigeration units are virtually harmless provided the following precautions for use are followed:
-- Avoid unnecessary handling of components lubricated with oil. Use protective creams.
-- Oils are flammable and must be stored and handled with care. Disposable rags or cloths used for cleaning must be kept
away from open flames and disposed of in the appropriate manner.
-- Containers must be stored with their caps on. Avoid using oil from an opened container stored under poor conditions.
22.4 Refrigerants - general information
Always remember that refrigeration systems contain pressurised liquids and vapours.
All necessary precautions must be taken when opening the system partially.
A certain amount of refrigerant will be released into the air when the primary refrigeration circuit is partially opened.
It is essential to keep the amount of lost refrigerant as low as possible by pumping the charge and isolating it in another part of
the system.
The refrigerant and lubricating oil, and the low-temperature liquid refrigerant in particular, may cause inflammatory lesions similar
to burns if they come into contact with the skin or eyes.
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves and other protective equipment when opening pipes or tanks liable to contain liquids.
Store unused refrigerant in the appropriate containers and limit the amounts stored in machine rooms.
Cylinders and tanks of refrigerant must be handled with care and signs warning users of the related poisoning, fire and explosion
hazards must be posted in conspicuous locations.
Refrigerant that reaches the end of its life must be collected and recycled in accordance with applicable regulations.
Warning:
Mixing with any type of fluid other than that indicated on the name plate may seriously impact the performance and
service life of your unit.
22.5 Halocarbon and hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants
Although non-toxic, vapours from halocarbon and hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants remain hazardous because they are heavier
than air and can force the latter out of mechanical rooms.
If refrigerant is accidentally released, ventilate the room with fans. Exposure levels in workplaces must be kept to a practical
minimum and must never exceed the recognised limit of 1000 ppm for an 8-hour working day and a 40-hour working week.
Although halocarbon and hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants are not flammable, keep them away from open flames (e.g. cigarettes)
as temperatures of over 300°C cause their vapours to break down and form phosgene, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and
other toxic compounds. These compounds may produce severe physiological consequences if accidentally inhaled or swallowed.
Warning: Do not expose R32 vapours and zeotropic blends of refrigerants containing R32 to open flames (such as cigarettes,
etc.). Refrigerants must be evacuated from pipes and tanks before any cutting or welding work is started. Do not use a torch to
check for leaks of refrigerants containing halocarbons such as R32 and its by-products.

EN - 13 NA 06.130 C
NOTE: CONDENCIAT 80 to 700 machines use R410A refrigerant; technicians must therefore use equipment compatible with
R410A and which has an operating pressure approximately 1.5 times higher than that of equipment compatible with R22 or R407C
refrigerant.
22.6 Weekly checks
With the unit running at full capacity, check the following values:
-- LP compressor suction pressure
-- HP compressor discharge pressure
-- The water inlet and outlet temperatures in the exchangers
-- The charge via the liquid sight glass and the condition of the charge using the coloured indicator on the sight glass.
-- The oil level and its appearance. If the colour changes, check the quality.
22.7 Monthly checks
Check all the values listed in the “Operating readings” table on the next page.
Check for corrosion on all metal surfaces (frame, casing, exchangers, electrics boxes, etc.)
Make sure that the insulating foam is neither detached nor torn.
Check the energy transfer fluids for any impurities which could cause wear or corrosion in the exchanger.
Check the circuits for leaks.
Check whether the safety devices operate correctly.
22.8 Annual checks
Carry out the same inspections as during the monthly checks.
Test the oil for contaminants: if acid, water or metal particles are detected in the oil, replace it in the corresponding circuit and the
dryer. If all the oil must be emptied, replace it solely with new oil of the same grade as the original oil and stored in a hermetically
sealed container until its time of use. If 3MAF oil is unavailable for sizes 80 to 700, use ICI Emkarate RL 32 CF oil or Mobil EAL
Arctic 22 CC oil.
Check the dehumidifier filter for fouling (measure the difference in the temperature of the copper pipes at the dryer inlet and outlet).
Check the electrical connections to ensure they are tight and in good condition.
Check the motor insulation.
Check the condition of the contacts and the current at full load on all three phases.
Check the electrics box for water seepage.

23 - TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING PROBLEMS

23.1 Preliminary advice
faults detected by the safety devices are not necessarily caused by a sudden change in the value being monitored.
Taken regularly, readings should make it possible to anticipate future trips.
Perform the checks listed in the table below if you notice that a value deviates from its normal value and gradually moves closer
to the safety limit.
Important: first and foremost, bear in mind that most faults potentially occurring on the units have simple causes that are often the
same for all. Look for these causes first.
There are three such causes in particular:
●● Exchanger fouling
●● Problems with the fluid circuits
●● Failures of electrical components such as the relay coil or the electrical valve, etc.

27 - CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
Note:
All inputs:
-- Forced stage control
-- Automatic operation control
must be polarity-free.

28 - FAN WIRING
CONDENCIAT CD 350 to 700 models are equipped with two 2-speed fans (750 - 950 rpm) connected at low speed as standard.
The rotation speed can be easily modified on-site using the connection diagram below. The operation is carried out directly in the
motor terminal box, which is easily accessible
It may be necessary to switch to low speed for one of 2 reasons:
1/ Increasing the upper operating limit (outdoor air)
2/ Increasing the output power of the unit

29 - ECODESIGN

The sealing test must be carried out in compliance with EC regulation no. 517/2014 relating to certain greenhouse gases.
R410A, R134a and R407C are refrigerant gases with the following environmental impact:
1/ No impact on the ozone layer.
They have an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) index of 0
2/Impact on the greenhouse effect: Global Warming Potential (GWP) of each gas.
- R410A -------- GWP = 2088
- R407C -------- GWP = 1800
- R134a -------- GWP = 1430
- Users must ensure that periodic leak testing is carried out by qualified personnel based on the number of tonnes of CO2
equivalent:

≥ 5 tCO2eq ≥ 50 tCO2eq ≥ 500 tCO2eq

Without leak detection system Every 12 months Every 6 months Every 3 months

Test interval

With leak detection system Every 24 months Every 12 months Every 6 months

R410A (GWP = 2088) ≥ 2.39 kg ≥ 23.9 kg ≥ 239 kg
