biCool coil, consists of a primary and a secondary circuit. The primary circuit will be a
chilled water cooling circuit. When parameters leave the allowable boundaries (e.g.
chilled water inlet temperatures are too high) then the primary circuit will stop and the
secondary circuit will be activated (e.g. the A-Version DX circuit) to continue the coo-
ling process. A CombiCool coil can also be used in a FreeCool strategy.

• Disconnect all electric power and ensure the power cannot be inadvertently
energized.
• Verify that all circuits are deenergized, earth, short-circuit and block off all
neighbouring live parts.
2.5.2 WARNING – Death/serious injury
Indicates a hazardous situation which can result in death or serious irreversible

injury, if the safety instruction is not followed.
Example:
High concentration of refrigerants in the air can result in death or serious in-
jury!
High concentration of refrigerants in the air may have an anaesthetic effect and
cause unconsciousness. Prolonged exposure may cause irregular heartbeat and
sudden death. Very high concentration of refrigerant may cause suffocation by
reduced oxygen content in the surrounding air.
• You should therefore only work in an adequately ventilated environment, and
exercise due care and attention when carrying out the work.
• Wear protective clothing and, if necessary, an autonomous breathing apparatus.

2.5.3 CAUTION – Minor or moderate injury
Indicates a hazardous situation which can result in minor or moderate injury, if the
safety instruction is not followed.

2.6 Safety-conscious working

The following is initial general advice to consider during various stages of a project.
More specific information can be found in relevant chapters in this manual.
2.6.1 At all times
Filters (especially used or dirty filters) are easily flammable. Leaking refrigerant can
catch fire and emit noxious substances.
– No smoking is allowed in direct proximity of any aspect of the
Multi-DENCO system.
– No open flames near the system.
To comply with EN 378-3 you must wear suitable Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) at any point working on a Multi-DENCO unit. As a minimum we recommend:
• Wear safety footwear
• Wear eye protection
• Wear protective gloves
• Wear protective clothing
If operating for a prolonged period of time, noise reducing ear protection may be requi-
red.
• Always conduct your own personal risk assessment to evaluate any further
requirements.
2.6.2 During installation & commissioning

At these times there are higher risks involved with the handling and operating around
a Multi-DENCO system. Further information is provided in chapters 4 to 8.
• Always refer to the latest operation manual and support technical documents
provided with the unit.
• Do not make assumptions based on other products design or information.
• If in doubt, contact your local sales office.
• Protect against unauthorised access.

• Do not use or employ un-qualified or inexperienced workers to install or commission
the Multi-DENCO system.
During installation there is a higher chance of leaks of refrigerant or glycols.

Before adding any cooling medium, ensure:
– Any system pipework is thoroughly tested for leaks
– Use non-polluting methods for testing purposes, e.g. Oxygen Free Nitrogen (OFN)

2.6.3 When unit is operational
At any time the unit is operational, rotating machinery and electrically charged com-
ponents are present. When the unit is not electrically isolated:
• Ensure all guards and doors are closed.
• Only remove guards or open doors:
– When the unit has been electrically isolated.
– Sufficient time has been allowed for the rotating fan momentum to cease.
– Sufficient time has been allowed for inverter circuits to discharge.
Information regarding 'Fan touch protection' can be found in Chapter 5.7.

Further relevant information is provided in chapters 9 to 11.
2.6.4 R410A systems

EN 378:2008 Part 1 defines R410A refrigerant to group A1. When using refrigerant
consider your usage in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 842/2006.
NOTE!
Refer to 'Field Charge' on the unit serial plate (see chapter 1.2) in regards to system
refrigerant volume.
NOTICE
• Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from the supplier.

Due to the nature of a refrigeration circuit, a Multi-DENCO system can contain dan-
gerously hot and dangerous cold aspects within the same system or circuit. Failure
to wear PPE could result in moderate injury.
• Review the appropriate chapters for further information.
• Never touch any part of the refrigeration circuit with unprotected skin.
• Always conduct your own personal risk assessment to evaluate any further
requirements.

2.6.5 Systems containing glycol
NOTICE
Properties of different glycols can vary significantly between different types of glycols
and different manufacturers
• Always refer to manufacturer’s information for usage guidelines
• Always handle and dispose in accordance with local codes, practices and
environmental regulations.
General features of glycols:

– Usually mixed with water.
– Can reduce the freezing temperature point of the mixture.
– Reduces cooling capacity when compared to water-only systems.
Further information can be found in Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 of this manual.
2.7 Proper use

The Multi-DENCO series are designed as indoor units and for connection to a heat
rejection system. They are designed for cooling, heating, humidification, dehumidifica-
tion and filtering of air at atmospheric pressure.
Unless otherwise stated the equipment will not be suitable for use in corrosive atmo-
spheres, for example, areas near large volumes of salt water.
Proper use also requires adherence to the operation manual for the controller and
suitable and regular inspection and maintenance, following guidelines specified by
FläktGroup.
Improper use Any use other than that described above is considered improper. The manufacturer/
supplier is not liable for damage arising from improper use. The user alone bears any
risk or cost that can be attributed to 'improper use'.
It is not allowed to operate units:
– in explosion risk areas;
– in areas with strong electromagnetic fields, (electromagnetic immunity as of EMC
Directive; refer to the Declaration of Conformity in the unit documentation)
– in environment with high levels of air contamination,
– in environments with corrosive and/or aggressive air.
2.8 Modifications and changes

Changes or modifications of any Multi-DENCO units after dispatch from factory shall
only be performed following discussion and approval by the sales office. Any works
planned that are not covered in this manual must be discussed with, and are subject
to approval; non compliance could invalidate the CE conformity and may void the war-
ranty.
2.9 Spare parts

Only original spare parts from our spare parts department are allowed. Use of third
party spare parts are not allowed and are at the user's own risks. A common spare
parts list is enclosed with the unit (either printed or in the form of a sticker). If in any
doubt as to the spare part required, please contact your local sales representative who
will be able to assist.

2.10 Disposal
Main and operating supply materials shall be disposed of according to material type in
a safe and environmentally friendly manner – always refer to your local by-laws and
Country specific legislation (also refer to section 12.2 Disposal).
2.11 Personnel selection and qualification

• Any individual working on the unit must read and understand all of this manual
before starting any works.
• Any individual working on this system shall be suitably qualified and licensed for the
region that the system in installed within.
• Within the European Union, refrigeration circuit operators shall be in accordance
with (EC) No 842/2006 Articles 4 & 5.
• All personnel involved with the system must understand and observe any local
legislation regarding safe working practice.
2.12 Noise
The sound power level of the unit can rise up to 98 dB(A) according EN ISO 3745
accuracy class 1.
2.13 Environmental considerations

Some Multi-DENCO versions can use refrigerants, therefore careful and specific atten-
tion is required regarding the handling and storage. Consideration must be given to
minimise or eliminate any discharge of refrigerant (accidental or deliberate). Chilled
water as a cooling medium may contain impurities or chemicals (such as glycol) requi-
ring disposal according to local or regional codes, practices and environmental regula-
tions.
FläktGroup highly advises that at all stages of our product lifestyle (purchase, install,
maintenance and disposal) carefully consideration is given to any decision to ensure
minimal environmental impact.

Multi-DENCO Technical Description
3 Technical Description
3.1 Unit description

Multi-DENCO units are designed for indoor installation (no exposure to outdoor
weather) and the system is completed by being connected to an heat rejection system
(for example; condenser, drycooler, chiller etc). Typically the units are designed for
cooling data centres, though they have a large variety of uses, such as (but not limited
to): server rooms, telecom rooms, laboratories, museums, libraries, production env-
ironments etc.
Heat exchange and airflow is performed vertically; with downflow models receiving
warm air from the top of the unit and delivering cold air at the bottom and upflow units
Fig. 3-1: Multi-DENCO Unit, taking warm air from the bottom of the unit and discharging cold air at the top. These
A-Version, Size 092 airflows can be directed at entry and exit of the unit, by using accessories such as: front
door grille, ceiling return section, base stands, horizontal discharge sections and dam-
pers.
Multi-DENCO units are available in 7 sizes ranging from (WxDxH) 600x600x1940 mm
to 3380x880x1968 mm. These units come with a wide variety of accessories and opti-
ons meaning that each Multi-DENCO unit can be tailored to your room's needs.
Once you have received your Multi-DENCO unit, typical onsite tasks include, (but are
not limited to):
– Installation and positioning of units
– Refrigeration/pipework connections between indoor and outdoor unit
– Connection of electrical power supply
– Connection of communication cabling
– Installation of any accessories provide 'loose' (e.g. water detection tape)
– Commissioning of the Multi-DENCO unit
– Configuration of network settings
3.1.1 DENCO-OfficeCool
This is a variation of a Multi-DENCO unit designed specifically to address the needs of
comfort cooling. The design is aimed at reducing fan velocities, reduced sound and
features for integration with Local Environment Control Units (LECUs) allowing for
adjustable environment to suit comfort levels. These are available as direct expansion
or chilled water versions.
DENCO-OfficeCool design are mostly similar to the requirements and design of
Multi-DENCO units. Within this manual, any differences in the design will be explained.

3.3 Operating modes

A basic Multi-DENCO unit only has the capacity to perform cooling, therefore only
being able to control the upper limit of the temperature of the room. Heaters and humi-
difiers can be added to the design to allow for control of both the lower limit of tempe-
rature and to control the humidification of the room.
Cooling The main function of a close control unit is to cool the air within a room to a defined set
point.
If using refrigerant (A-Version & X-Version), this is achieved by adjusting compressor
speed, expansion valve opening and indoor and outdoor fan speed.
If using chilled water (C-Version), this is accomplished by adjusting the water valve
opening and adjusting the indoor fan speed.
Both methods use variable technology to match the heat of rejection by the
Multi-DENCO unit to the volume of heat produced within the room.

Heating (if fitted) If the indoor temperatures are too low then the heating function will be activated. There
are several options for this operation allowing the heating to be a start/stop operation
or variable. When heating is required, the fans can increase their speed.
Humidification (if fitted) If the humidity levels are below the requirements then the humidifier will be activated
to add more moisture to the air. The amount of moisture added to the air varies propor-
tionally to the demand, with the humidifier able to operate between 25 - 100% of its
rated capacity.
Dehumidification (if enabled) As a default factory settings, dehumidification is a secondary priority compared to tem-
perature control, therefore it will only become active and maintained if the temperature
limits are met during the whole operation. If at any point, those limits are not met, the
dehumidification operation will be stopped and the unit will operate on a temperature
control basis.
To perform dehumidification, the unit cools at a higher rate (i.e. over-cools the air) to
create condensate on the the heat exchanger coil. Heating options can then be used
to re-heat the air before it leaves the unit.
Software settings can be changed to deactivate the dehumidification modes, even if
components are fitted.
CombiCool (if fitted) The CombiCool options has two separate cooling circuits. CombiCool can be fitted to
A- & C-versions of the Multi-DENCO units.
The CombiCool circuit is the primary circuit and is chilled water. The secondary circuit
relates to the version (e.g. A-Version, C-Version). The unit will only operate one circuit
at a time.
If the CombiCool circuit is unable to meet the cooling requirements of the room then
the unit changes to use the 'secondary' circuit. When possible, the unit will try to switch
back to the 'primary' CombiCool circuit.
This feature is ideal to provide internal redundancy to each unit.
CombiCool FreeCool The unit is fitted with the same CombiCool Coil as above, but can be configured with a
(if fitted) FreeCool strategy. When the Cooling Demand is low, the unit will operate with only the
FreeCool circuit operating. If this demand increases above a certain threshold, the unit
will then activate its secondary circuit (direct expansion or chilled water) and both cir-
cuits to operate at the same time to meet the cooling requirements.
An ambient sensor can be used to measure the outdoor temperatures. If the ambient
temperature is high (above a set value), then the FreeCool circuit will be deactivated
and only the secondary circuit will operate. Once the ambient temperature has reduced
then the FreeCool circuit will become available again.
3.4 Operating strategies

Multi-DENCO's inbuilt advance software combined with the latest EC variable techno-
logy and networking capability, enables the unit to operate with intelligent control stra-
tegies to increase performance or maximise energy savings. In most instances we
would recommend using a Running Redundancy strategy to help maximise the energy
savings possible.
Duty/standby operation Within a room there may be additional units installed as a backup to maintain cooling
performance in case there is an alarm or failure on a unit. A common description is an
'N+1' setup, where N describes the number of units required to cool a room. By using
the network capability of the unit, upon failure, a signal can be sent to start the standby
unit.
The network of units can be configured so that the unit designated as 'standby' is chan-
ged over after a pre-set period to ensure even wear over their lifetimes.

Running redundancy Instead of the standby unit(s) remaining off, running redundancy allows all units to ope-
rate at the same time, reducing their cooling requirements. This is can be referred to
as 'Hot/Cold Standby'.
Each unit will operate on 'part load', reducing the speed of the fans and other variable
components. The network would still have backup capability: if a unit developed a fault
the other units would use their spare capacity to meet the cooling requirements.
By operating in part load, there are significant energy savings when compared to a tra-
ditional 'Duty/Standby' operation. The diagram shows an example of savings available:
Fig. 3-2: Running Redundancy Example
Sensor averaging Sensor averaging can be calculated on temperature, humidity or both, when
Multi-DENCO units are connected in a network. Each unit sends their sensor readings
to every unit in the network. Each unit then takes all the values and calculates the aver-
age independent of the network units.
This gives the advantage of balancing the cooling requirements across all of the units
within a room, rather than on individual airflows. The software has features to allow for
sensor, communication or unit failure, so that the values do no distort the average
value and the unit can change back to 'stand-alone' if necessary.
Automatic Pressurisation APS ensures a constant pressure in the floor plenum by the Multi-DENCO unit. This
System (APS) can help reduce hot spots and allows for fast reaction to changes in airflow.
This also saves energy as the Multi-DENCO fans only supply the same amount of air
to the floor void, as the amount of air being removed by servers.
For datacentres, this feature can be especially efficient when combined with cold-aisle
containment.

3.5 Components
Fig. 3-3: Components

1 Casing
The casing design gives the unit a high level of air tightness. The side and rear panels
are flat and are flush with the edge of the frame. The front doors are curved and are
removable during servicing. All doors use a compression locking mechanism to give a
high quality seal.
The frame members are anodised aluminium and the panels are white PVC coated
steel. Other panel colours are available on request.
2 Touch screen display
A 4.3" colour touch screen display is mounted into one of the front doors of the unit
(standard configuration). Settings are separated into three levels allowing for control of
system settings based on passwords. The display is able to switch between several
languages and alarms are displayed in plain text.
The display has a screen saver function, which changes to signify when there is an
alarm present.
3 Microprocessor control
The microprocessor can control all the functions for cooling, heating, humidifying and
dehumidifying. It can monitor all digital and analogue inputs and outputs and can be
linked in a network between units. The C5-12 controller can output to the BMS stan-
dard RS485, but other BMS interfaces can be installed into the controller.
As an additional option, the C5-12 controller can be fitted with an UPS capacitor to
enabling the powering of the controls for over 1 minute during a power outage. This
feature removals the start-up time of the unit when the power supply is restored.
4 Cooling coil
The cooling coil is inclined within the unit and uses copper tubes and rippled aluminium
fins to give high performance. To prevent condensed water entering the supply air, an
intermediate drip tray collects water that drains to a larger drip tray, which is mounted
to the bottom of the coil.

5 EC fan
All Multi-DENCO units use direct driven, variable speed, high efficiency EC plug back-
ward curved fan with three dimensional profiled blades as standard. The impeller is
optimally balanced according to ISO1940 and fan speed modulates on standard set-
tings.
The fan is made of a composite material and variable speed regulation is performed
using a 0-10 V control signal. An EC drive motor with an internal overload protection is
integrated in the fan. Fan operation is monitored using a current relay. In the event of
a fan failure, all other functions are interlocked, to prevent their operation.
6 Filters
Multi-DENCO units are provided with G4 class filters as standard, with high efficiency
G7 filters or G4 washable filters (limited regions) available. The filters are positioned
directly in front of the coil and are replaceable from the front of the unit. Other filters
can be supplied upon request.
7 Humidifier
An electrode boiler humidifier can be installed into the unit to allow humidity to be con-
trolled. The humidifier generates steam using proportional regulation of untreated
mains cold water. Electrode boiler humidifiers generate sterile, odourless steam free
of mineral deposits. The humidifier has an inlet hose connection and a water drain
connection to remove any remaining water.
8 Electric heater
Units with electrical heating are equipped with sturdy sheathed elements with stainless
steel finning and rated to operate at black heat in order to prevent annealing conditions
and sparking. Overheat protection is provided through a thermostat (Klixon). The
available heating duty is sufficient to prevent low supply temperatures in the dehumi-
dification mode.
Electric heating can also have an integrated thyristor control to provide variable heating
loads and closer control.
Low-pressure, hot water options are also available as an alternative heating method.
9 Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV)
The electronic expansion valve is an efficient, service friendly, refrigerant metering
device that accurately controls the superheat of the refrigerant within the cooling coil.
It is controlled through set parameters in the C5-12 controller and software and requi-
res no external adjustment throughout its working life.
The EEV has the ability to close itself in the event of a power failure by using a power
supply stored within the C5-12 controller.
10 and 11 Compressor and inverter
Multi-DENCO units use variable speed inverter compressors. These operate using
R410A and have a high efficiency using a permanent magnet and brushless DC
Motors.
Within the unit, the configuration can be; single compressor, in tandem with a fixed
speed compressor or in tandem with another inverter compressor.
The compressors are provided with Neoprene anti-vibrational mounts, motor protec-
tion against overcurrent and thermal overload and are able to perform periodical oil
reclaim on a cyclical basis.
Units using only fixed speed compressors are only available for size 010 and 018.

12 Chilled water valve & actuator

A variety of modulating ball valves are available with the Multi-DENCO units:
– 3-port valve
– 3-port valve with double regulating valve (DRV) in bypass
– 2-port valves
– 2-port pressure independent control (PIC) valves
All valves are fully modulating and are placed within the return water pipework. The ac-
tuators available come in 2 varieties:
– Drive Open Drive Close (DODC)
– 0-10 V control
These options, combined with the variety of valves, ensure that you have a valve and
actuator combination that meets your needs.
The same valves and actuators are used for both the chilled water units (C-Version)
and the CombiCool circuits.
3.6 Heat rejection systems

A Multi-DENCO unit needs to be part of a system which includes heat rejection. There
are several different methods for heat rejection (depending on your Multi-DENCO unit)
and your local sales office can help you decide the best for your requirements.
3.6.1 Condensers
A-Version units typically use condensers to reject the heat that the Multi-DENCO unit
has absorbed from the room. They consist of a large coil and a fan to condense the
R410A gas into a liquid form. Condensers can be supplied with AC or EC fans and can
be installed with vertical or horizontal airflow.
Nominal duties for condensers range from 5kW to 100kW when using a 15°C tempe-
rature differential. The refrigerant gas inlet and liquid outlet pipes are terminated as
stub connections, sealed to contain a low-pressure nitrogen holding charge (5 psig/
0.35 bar).
Condensers can be installed either with a direct 1 to 1 relationship with the indoor unit
or 2 condensers can be used with a single Multi-DENCO unit as part of 1 single circuit.
This arrangement is refer to as 'twin condensers'.
3.6.2 Chillers
C-Version units are typically used with chillers (usually several are connected to the
same chiller). The water inlet temperature and the room set point can determine the
capacity of the unit when using chilled water from a chiller.
Chillers can bring benefits of several economies of scale for larger operations and
allow for multiple functions to source the same chiller for heat rejection. We are able to
offer freecooling chillers that can use low ambient temperatures to minimise energy
usage.
Separate operating manuals are supplied.

3.6.3 Condensing units

Condensing units perform the same functions as condensers, but they also contain the
compressor. Used for the X-Version of Multi-DENCO and H-Version of DENCO-Office-
Cool, usually the indoor unit would be used with 1 condensing unit, but for certain unit
sizes, 2 condensing units can be used. 2 circuits are used and the indoor unit has a
'split coil', half the coil operates with 1 condensing unit, the other half of the coil with
the other condensing unit.
Separate operating manuals are supplied with the outdoor units for this configuration.
3.6.4 Dry coolers

Typically used in CombiCool configurations, our drycoolers are designed exactly the
same as our condensers (dimension and build design) but are used to cool water or
glycol based fluids. These units can be used for FreeCool strategies also.
3.6.5 Plate heat exchangers

Where installation of A-Version units requires a large distance between the indoor unit
and any heat rejection location, a plate heat exchanger can be used to interface bet-
ween the refrigerant system and a chilled water system. The plate heat exchanger can
use the chilled water to condense the refrigerant into liquid form, thereby transferring
the heat to the chilled water circuit, which can then be transported to a chiller or similar.
We have a vast catalogue and plate heat exchangers available and your local sales
office will be able to help you with your options. Separate operating manuals will be
supplied.

• Conduct your own risk assessment to evaluate the need for any additional PPE.
5.1 Requirements and considerations
Refer to the unit's dimensional drawing for weights and dimensions.
5.1.1 General requirements

The unit must be installed at a location that fulfils the following requirements:
NOTICE
Dusty environments can damage electronic printed circuit boards.
• Ensure the Multi-DENCO unit is protected from dust during installation
• Clean unit before first use
Humidity sensors can be damaged by aggressive vapours (e.g. chlorine
or acetone)
• Ensure possible vapours are removed from the local environment before
installation
• Ensure the room has a good 'air tightness' to prevent any entry of vapours.
– Ensure that the site is level and that it can support the weight of the equipment, so
that no vibrations or operating noise occurs when the unit is operating.
– The unit should be set in an upright position - level in both directions. Failure to carry
out levelling correctly may cause operational problems; particularly to the drainage.
Possible misalignment of panels will indicate that the unit is not level.
– The unit should be installed so that it is only accessible to trained and authorised
personnel.
– Sufficient clearance in front of the unit must be ensured for maintenance and
service jobs.
– (If applicable to local regulation) Check installation site fulfill requirements as defined
in EN 378-3:2008+A1:2012.
– It is recommended that once the the Multi-DENCO unit is located, then it is fixed in
placed (e.g. bolted, bracketed etc) to prevent unwanted movement or vibrations.

Installation Multi-DENCO
5.1.2 Noise consideration at installation site

It is important noise has been considered before the installation. Options are available
to equip your Multi-DENCO unit with sound reduction features. Noise is usually a high
consideration of DENCO-OfficeCool installations therefore. Ask your local sales repre-
sentative for details.
When planning or installing units, consider:
– The acoustic properties of the room – soft furnishings, curtains and carpets tend to
reduce sound reflections. Bare walls and vertical surfaces tend to produce larger
sound reflections which result in higher noise levels.
– Equipment placed alongside a solid wall can transmit noise through and along the
wall into adjacent areas.
– Floors with high deflections e.g. wooden floors, can amplify the noise produced by
the unit.
To reduce these problems, the following are suggestions, dependent upon site condi-
tions:
– Ensure that any vertical planes directly in front of the unit are acoustically insulated.
– Where units are situated in equipment rooms, acoustic treatment of the walls of the
equipment room should be considered.
– Acoustic pads may be placed behind equipment to reduce wall transmissions.
– Panels and cables in the air flow direction can cause vibrations and produce noise.
Rigidly support these components to a solid structure to reduce this effect.
– Positioning close control air handling units on building columns or supporting ele-
ments of the building to try to minimise noise transmission on the building. Steel floor
framing for unit equipment may be used for this purpose.
– Acoustic rubber pads for vibration insulation may be used beneath the equipment.
– Abrupt bends in pipework should be avoided by fitting long turn elbows or forming
long radius bends.
– Where pipes pass through walls or partitions, an oversize sleeve to be packed with
suitable insulation material is recommended.
– Insulate pipes and rigidly support to a solid structure of a building.

5.2 Substructures
5.2.1 Under unit drip tray

To protect the floor underneath a unit from any condensation, a drip tray can be moun-
ted underneath.
The drip tray can be used in a raised floor (underneath a base frame) or with a plinth.
It is design to hold a small volume of water and should be used along with water detec-
tion tape or spot sensor to prevent any significant build-up of water.
Fig. 5-1
5.2.2 Base stand

For units to be used with a raised floor (upflow and downflow), a base stand should be
used underneath the close control unit. The height of the base stand can be from a
minimum of 300 mm.
The base stand comes complete with adjustable feet (+/- 25 mm available). The sur-
face between the base stand and the unit should be lined with a 3 mm semi-hard gas-
ket. For more details or specification please contact your local sales representative.
Fig. 5-2
5.2.3 Support plinth

For units installed without a raised floor, a plinth should be used to allow for service
connections to the unit. The standard plinth is 200 mm tall and uses the same frame
and materials as the unit for a consistent look. Panels are removable with a cross-head
screwdriver, the same as the unit's panels.
Fig. 5-3
5.2.4 Shut off damper

Dampers can be provided loose for further installation on site. The control of the dam-
per is linked to the unit's C5-12 controller and can be made to open/close depending
on the unit's operation. It can also close if a critical alarm in generated or linked to fire
alarm shutdown routines to protect your units.
Dampers should not be directly mounted to the air discharge of a fan. At least a
600 mm duct should be in between the damper and the fan.
Fig. 5-4

5.2.5 Ceiling connection duct

For units that wish to connect with a suspended ceiling, a connection duct can be used
to create an air path.
The ceiling connection duct is made of the same material as the unit's panels. The
height of ceiling connection ducts are made to specification and they can bolt onto the
top of the close control unit through a service panel on either side.
Fig. 5-5
5.2.6 Horizontal air discharge

For upflow units that do not have ceiling voids, a horizontal air discharge section can
be used to change the airflow direction.
The design can have a grille on the front panel only (1 way blow) or grilles on the front
and sides (3 way blow).
The assembly is bolted onto the top of the unit through the frame. This can be acces-
sed via the service panels on either side of the unit (for 3 way blow, remove the grille
for access).
Fig. 5-6
5.2.7 Protection grille

This is the standard grille that is placed directly on top of the unit to protect individuals
from the rotating fan blades during operation. The grille design is different for upflow
and downflow units.

5.3 Unit placement

It is easier for unit placement can be carried out prior to the installation of a raised floor.
It is recommended not to remove the transport packing to provide sufficient protection
for the unit during placement.
Multi-DENCO units are heavy and can have a high centre of gravity. Failure to
safely secure the equipment may result in death or serious injury.
• Never stand beneath suspended loads.
Multi-DENCO units are heavy and can have a high centre of gravity. The unit, or
parts of the unit can, tip and fall. Failure to safely install the equipment may result
in death or serious injury.
• Secure the unit against tipping before removing the unit from the pallet.
• Do not lean against or lean objects against the unit.
• Do not expose any part of your body, limbs or hands to the space between the
unit and any substructures (see chapter 5.2) or between the unit and the ground.
NOTICE
During installation and placement, weight loads may be increased or concentra-
ted. Failure to account for this can cause damage to the floor or the unit.
• Ensure the floor can withstand the weight and forces of the unit, lifting equipment
and operators.
• For installation on a raised floor, ensure flooring can support increased point
loads.
NOTE!
We recommend using two heavy-duty jacks. Always refer to the manu-
facturer's instructions when operating the heavy-duty jacks. For further
advice, consult your local office.
Fig. 5-7: Heavy-duty jack

5.3.1 Placement without raised floor

The unit could be placed on a lift truck or two to six-wheeled platform and manoeuvred
to its installation site. Once in position, check and adjust levelling will need to be con-
ducted.
• Care should be taken to prevent damage from contacting the unit by the lifting gear/
slings or fork lift truck etc.
• Lift the unit from the pallet and take care to manoeuvre it.
• The unit should be lifted from the base frame only with suitable measures to prevent
tipping or rolling.
NOTE!
We strongly recommend using a third party, specialist lifting company to offload and
position all Multi-DENCO equipment.
5.3.2 Placement on raised floor

• Perform the levelling of the unit at the installation site.
• Take good care when manoeuvring the unit during placement using wheeled
platform.
• At the same time secure the unit against tipping.

Columns A, B and D are recommended minimum values to ensure satisfactory
operation by your Multi-DENCO unit.
Column C is the mandatory minimum values to ensure serviceability for your
Multi-DENCO unit.
Note!
Column C is ONLY the minimum service requirements and does not reflect any
safety requirements that may affect your local region. Refer to your local Health and
Safety regulation for aisle clearances and free space requirements to ensure a safe
working environment.

5.4.2 Access
Multi-DENCO has been designed to be serviceable exclusively through the front doors
of the unit (the curved panels). Access to the right hand side panel (as you face the
unit) can increase the speed of service, but is not mandatory.
Multi-DENCO units are compact and efficient design, therefore the larger the clearance
all around the unit, the easier service and repair work can be conducted.
The doors are hinged and removable. Some frame mullions are removable for assi-
sting in removing larger components.
5.4.3 Removing doors and panels

All unit components are accessible through front doors and panels.
s
Doors and panels can weigh up to 11kg and easily tip and fall.
• Ensure panels are held in place when fixings are being removed.
• Ensure doors are properly attended when being removed.
• Use access platforms for units that are installed above floor height.
• To open the front doors, use the key supplied with the unit to release the 1/2 turn
locks.
• Before removing a door with an integrated display remove the cable between the
C5-12 controller and the display module.
• Release the upper hinge retainer and remove panel.
• To reinstall the doors, first lift the panel and clip into the bottom retainer. Release the
top retainer, shift the panel upwards to the unit and clip into the top retainer.
• The rear and side panels can be removed by unscrewing six screws (per panel). It
is recommended to, use a vacuum lifting tool for holding panels.
5.4.4 Ductwork
On units where ductwork is to be fitted, ductwork connections must be completed
before any pipework and electrical connections are made.
Note!
Care must be taken when fixing ductwork to the unit that all panels and metal plates
can be removed and are not impeded by rivets, 'tec-screws' and other fixings!

5.5 Installing enclosed accessories

Below is a list of items or options that could be supplied with your Multi-DENCO unit.
The accessories could be inside of the unit on delivery or as a separate package. The
below items will need further installation once the unit is in place.
5.5.1 Interface cards

• There are several versions of the interface cards available, these all install directly
into the controller within the unit. Installation and configuration of these cards must
only be conducted by a suitably qualified person.
Fig. 5-9
5.5.2 Air sensor

• If a temperature and humidity sensor is supplied as an remote accessory item, it
must be positioned in the reference air flow and must not be subjected to direct
sunlight.
• The sensor cable is already connected to the unit and can be extended to a
maximum of 30 m by using a cable of the same specification.
Fig. 5-10
Note!
Take care when locating the remote air sensor as the unit will attempt to control the
conditions of the room based on the sensor location. Do not place the sensor in
areas of draft or anywhere near a heat source that could provide a 'false reading'!
5.5.3 Floor void air pressure control (APS)

• The air differential pressure sensor is mounted within the unit. But the two hoses
must be connected to the sensor during installation to enable the sensor to read the
air pressures.
• Two hose ports are available: '+' (high pressure), which needs the hose to be
positioned within the floor void. The other hose, '-' (low pressure) which needs to be
installed within the room space.
• Air hose opening in the raised floor must be positioned at the right angle to air flow,
in order to prevent measurement of dynamic pressure.This can also be achieved if
the hoses are enclosed in perforated boxes.
Fig. 5-11
• The pressure test point must be placed at least 2 m away from the unit.
• It is optimal to run multiple pressure test points in one closed circular line, shown in
figure Fig. 5-12.
• APS can also be used to monitor pressure difference between a hot and cold aisle.
• If multiple units used within a room, use a BMS system must be used to calculate an
average value and then use the BMS to adjust the fan speed.
Fig. 5-12: Showing multiple

pressure test points
in a floor void.

5.5.4 Water detection
Important Note!
The water detection tape should be installed prior to commissioning and the end
user should be made aware that, upon contact with water, an alarm is generated by
the controller as an indication of the presence of water. This alarm is not critical to
the unit's operation, therefore the unit will continue to operate. The alarm does not
protect the unit from water build up, it simply highlights the issue, therefore at every
occurrence of the alarm it should be investigated to find the cause and rectify the
issue. If an under unit drip tray is supplied it is ideal to mount the sensors within the
drip tray (see Fig. 5-1 on page 39).
Water detection tape

• The water detection tape will be delivered connected to the unit's controller. The
tape will be collected together and should be unwound once the unit is in it's final
position (see Fig. 5-13).
Fig. 5-13
• The sensor tape should be routed on the floor where it is likely to come into contact
with any leaking water.
• If possible, run the tape around the perimeter of the unit around the base stand feet
(if fitted).
• The water sensor needs to be fitted to the floor in such a way that it maintains a
contact with the surface at all times but will not come into contact with any vibrating
parts that could cause damage to the sensor. A quick curing, non-conductive epoxy
resin or silicone sealant is an effective way to keep the water sensor in its correct
location.
Fig. 5-14
Water detection spot • Spot sensors are also available for water detection.
sensors • These should also be installed in the under unit drip tray (if included).
• Distribute the sensors evenly to help ensure all areas under the unit can detect a
water build up.

5.5.5 Condensate pump
When a humidifier is fitted, condensate collected in drip trays and condensate

pumps can be at near boiling temperatures. This condensate, or surfaces that it
has been in contact with, can cause scalding or burns.
• The installer must install condensate tubing suitable for these temperatures.
• The installer must ensure individuals cannot come in contact with this fluid, tubing
or affected regions.
When installing a condensate pump:

• Never run power supply cables for the condensate pump together with control
cabling
• Position the condensate pump carefully and secure it against slipping
• Where ever possible consider future servicing needs where this pump may have to
be removed and cleaned as part of a maintenance program
• Fitting the condensate pump outside of the unit casing offers the best access
• Care must be taken that condensate inlet and outlet are not placed beneath the fan
• Ensure that no power or water hoses can contact the fan, if necessary, suitable
condensate hose bracketing should be installed
For cold water condensate pumps (units without a humidifier):
Pump Capacity: 0.85 litres
Max. Discharge Height: 9 metres
Max. Flow Rate: 40 litres per hour for 1 metre discharge height
28 litres per hour for 9 metre discharge height
For hot water condensate pumps (units with a humidifier):
Pump Capacity: 5 litres
Max. Discharge Height: 6 metres
Max. Flow Rate: 480 litres per hour for 1 metre discharge height
120 litres per hour for 6 metre discharge height
5.5.6 Remote monitoring touch screen display

• The display can be mounted up to 50 m away from the C5-12 controller within the
Multi-DENCO unit.
• A 24 VAC supply is required, local, to power the display, together with a two
core screened data cable that networks the display to the pLAN connection on
the C5-12 controller. For further details refer to the wiring diagram.
Fig. 5-15

5.6 Installation of outdoor units

Note!
It is mandatory to connect the Multi-DENCO indoor unit to a heat rejection unit.
This is achieved typically in five different forms, depending on the version used:
– Condensers (DMOUCD)
– Condensing units (DMOUUD) (including heat pumps)
– Chiller
– Drycoolers
– Plate heat exchangers
This chapter covers only the condensers (DMOUCD). Condensing units
(DMOUUD) has a separate installation manual that can be provided on request and
is provided with the delivery of the equipment. For all other varieties or equipment
not purchased with a Multi-DENCO unit, please refer to their independent manuals.
Outdoor condensers use exposed heat exchanger coils, which have thin metallic
fins. These fins can cause cuts to limbs.
• Ensure cut protective PPE is worn.
• Do not handle the condenser in the region where the coil is exposed.
• All warnings found in chapter 5.3 Unit placement also apply.
5.6.1 Requirements
– Condensers are design for outdoor installation
– As standard, condensers can operate in temperatures as low as -20 °C
– Winter kits are available for very low ambient conditions (down to -40 °C)
– For condensers to be installed in a coastal region or an area of high corrosion,
ensure:
– The unit is supplied with epoxy or Blygold® coated coil
– The outdoor unit has sufficient housing and protection from the elements of the
local environment
– All pipework and interconnecting electrical cables are insulated and protected
from the environment
5.6.2 Separation
The separation between the indoor Multi-DENCO unit and the outdoor condenser
must be within the following limits for the interconnecting pipework requirements:
– No more than 35 m above the height of the indoor unit
– No more than 10 m below the height of the indoor unit
– The interconnecting pipework between the indoor and the condenser must be less
than 100 m
For more details about interconnecting pipes, please see chapter 6.

5.6.3 Positioning
The condenser must be installed on a level surface that can support the weight of the
equipment and allowing for access from all sides. If multiple condensers are used for
1 indoor unit, the condensers must be installed on the same level and the same
distance to the indoor unit.
Whenever possible, shelter condensers from winds and avoid prevailing winds blowing
directly onto the fan(s) or the heat exchanger. Always bolt down units to ensure secure
fixing to location.
Consideration should also be given to minimising the noise created by the condenser.
Pipework and cabling running underneath the unit should be configured so as not to
obstruct airflow.
Pipework and cabling underneath the unit can cause a reduction in airflow as well as
an increase in noise as air passes around the obstruction.
All outdoor units should be fixed to a rigid structure using the holes provided (wherever
possible). If the units are in an exposed situation and normal bolting is not practical,
then alternative brackets, fixings or adhesive should be used.
Condensers are delivered with the mounting legs loose, allowing for installation on site
to decide the orientation of the unit (vertical or horizontal). The legs have been desi-
gned to maximise the clearances onto the coil, so it is essential they are installed cor-
rectly.
The hot gas discharge line MUST be positioned at the top of the condenser for hori-
zontal airflow (labelled as 1 on the diagrams below). Therefore, the liquid line (labelled
as 2) will be at the bottom of the unit.
Vertical airflow condensers must not be installed upside down.
Horizontal Airflow Vertical Airflow
Fig. 5-16

5.6.4 Clearances
Condensers must be located in an unobstructed position to ensure adequate air circu-
lation through the cooling coil. Care must be taken to avoid air recirculation from one
unit to another.
Clearances around the condensers must be in accordance with condenser specific
drawings supplied in the unit documentation.

5.7 Fan touch protection

It is extremely important that no one can come into contact with the fans within the
Multi-DENCO units during operation or immediately after operation. Users must wait 5
minutes after turning off a Multi-DENCO unit before removing any safety guard, to
ensure fans have come to a complete stop.
On Downflow units: Full Height Panels – these units are typically used with a raised floor. The floor tiles
must be unremovable without the use of tools for sufficient protection. If this is not the
case, then the installer must install additional fan protection grille below the unit to pre-
vent access to the fans.
Low Level Discharge Grille – these units are typically used with a plinth. The plinth's
design means that the panels are unremovable without the use of tools. If the unit used
with a raised floor then the same conditions apply as for Full Height Panels.
On Upflow units: If the unit isn't supplied with one of the following accessories then the installer must
build a touch protection device on the top of the unit.
The accessories are:
– Top air outlet protection grille (Eyelash)
– Ceiling connection duct
– Horizontal 1 way air discharge
– Horizontal 3 way air discharge
5.8 EC Declaration of Conformity

Note!
ANY installation of a unit that is labelled as CAT II under the Pressure Equipment
Directive 2014/68/EU (see serial label on unit), within the EU, MUST be completed
by an installer that is certified with a notified regulatory body.
Outside of the EU installers must comply with local legislation and regulations.
We strongly recommend that anyone involved with any installation of
Multi-DENCO units reviews and understands all the necessary legislation, in parti-
cular, the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.
For any installation of Multi-DENCO equipment that requires interconnecting pipework,

it is the responsibility of the installer to produce an EC Declaration of Conformity, if
installed within the European Economic Area (EEA). Outside of the EEA there may be
similar, separate requirements by different nations.
To assist with these requirements, we have prepared a short guide. This guide is NOT
exhaustive and care should be taken by the installer that the EC Declaration of Con-
formity that is produced, conforms to the necessary requirements.
Guidelines on producing a Declaration of Conformity

Since the installation is the concept/design of the installer, the EC Declaration of Con-
formity of the whole system needs to be prepared and completed by the installer. This
will require the creation of a technical file along with suitable documentation of safety
and design to meet the legal requirements.

It is the responsibility of the installer to carry out the assessment and to prepare the EC
Declaration of Conformity. For the installation of the interconnecting pipework and
electrical cabling, the declaration must then be signed by your legally responsible
representative (which may be the Managing Director of the Company).
The installer will need to consider some or all of the following:
1. Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
2. EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
3. Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
4. Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
5. EC type examination certificate:
6. Applied Harmonised Standards:
7. Safety of machinery: Electrical equipment:
8. Safety of machinery: Basic design, concept and technical principle:
9. EMC emissions for residential, commercial and light industrial environments:
10. EMC immunity for industrial environments:
11. Refrigerating Systems:
12. Pressure equipment for refrigerating systems and heat pumps (General piping)
13. Applied National Standards/Technical Specifications:
This assessment will need to include creating a technical file including:

1. Description of the equipment, accompanied by block diagram.
2. Wiring, circuit diagrams, and cable sizing information.
3. Pipework layout drawing.
4. List of standards applied. (See above).
5. Records of risk assessments and assessments to standard's
6. Description of control philosophy/logic. (Controls Manual)
7. Materials list including source traceability on pressure related components
e.g. pipework, fittings, and brazing materials etc.
8. Copies of any markings and labels.
9. Copy of this manual.
10. Test reports e.g. pressure test certificates, wiring test certificates.
11. Commissioning records.
12. Declaration of Conformity.

Medium Connections Multi-DENCO
6 Medium Connections
NOTE!
When routing pipework, take due care that air flow is not obstructed as this may
reduce the efficiency of the system.
6.1 Requirements
– (For refrigeration circuits) Only pipe sizes recommended by FläktGroup are allowed.
Incorrect pipe sizing can cause compressor damage and void the warranty.
– Every part of all circuit(s) (cooling and heating) must be designed and installed to
national and local standards and regulations.
– Piping must be properly sized to meet the design requirements.
– Mechanical connections shall only be carried out by qualified licensed staff or other
individuals with proper professional training and experience in the relevant accident
prevention regulations, as well as other generally recognized safety and occupatio-
nal health codes.
Only copper refrigerant lines meeting EN 12735-1:2010 standards shall be used for
refrigeration pipework installation. R410A is the standard refrigerant used within
Multi-DENCO units, ensure that pipework used is suitable for the higher pressures
used with this refrigerant.
The relevant requirements of the standard, especially apply to:
– Quality of internal surfaces
– Sealed pipe ends
– Pipe labelling
– Testing
– Pressure resistance
Short line lengths Keep the pipe length as short as possible. The greater the distance between the air
handling unit and the outdoor heat rejection unit, the greater the pressure drops in
connected pipes, resulting in reduced energy efficiency of the unit.
Liquid receivers Installing a refrigerant receiver is not mandatory. With long pipe runs and low ambient
temperature operation of the unit it is, however, recommended to install a refrigerant
receiver. If a receiver is not installed, the refrigerant should be selected and charged
with extreme care. When charging the unit with refrigerant at low ambient temperature,
ensure that the system is not overfilled and the unit can be trouble-free operated at high
ambient temperature as well. Consider the manufacturer's instructions on layout of a
refrigerant receiver and installation manual on mounting a receiver.
6.2 Connecting refrigeration pipework
6.2.1 Pipework
All pipework must be installed in accordance with EN 378-4 and with recognised good
refrigeration practices in a tidy manner. Any further local legislation may vary, but must
be observed.
Within the EU, certain systems may be subject to mandatory requirements of the Pres-
sure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. To know the classification of your equipment,
refer to the serial plate on each unit.
Details of the maximum lengths of interconnecting pipework are in chapter 5.6.2.

Multi-DENCO Medium Connections
6.2.2 Material quality

For refrigeration pipework:
– Copper tube quality must be the equivalent of EN 12735-1
– Refrigeration grade copper must be used
– Pipework must be cleaned and dehydrated
– Use of joints, bends or sets must be kept to a minimum
– Bends or sets are to be machine pulled to approved radius at all times
– Only properly swaged joints can be used (butt joints are not allowed)
– Manufactured bends are not recommended
– It is recommended to use half-hard straight lengths of copper instead of coils.
6.2.3 Sizing
NOTE!
Prior to installation it is particularly important to check the correct size refrigeration
pipework is being installed. Contact your local representative if you are unsure.
NOTE!
Only the pipe sizes listed below are ALLOWABLE for each size. ONLY these sizes
MUST be used for both horizontal and vertical risers. This table is for REFERENCE
ONLY.
NOTE!
FINAL and ULTIMATE responsibility for pipe sizing is of the contractor or installer.
The below table is for GUIDANCE ONLY to specify the range of sizes applicable. It
is necessary that suitably qualified engineers conduct their own, separate calculati-
ons to determine the sizing suitable for the application.
Pipe sizing When sizing pipework, consideration should be given with regards to adequate oil
return during all conditions.
It is also important that the pressure drops in pipework are minimised to avoid unneces-
sary decreases in capacity. Larger pipe sizes reduce gas velocity and make oil return
more difficult to accomplish. Smaller pipe diameters increase oil velocity, but will be
more susceptible to high pressure drops.

6.2.4 Installation with 2 condensers
NOTE!
For condensing units, see separate installation manual.
On Fig. 6-1 and Fig. 6-2 the labels are as follows:

1 Discharge line (hot gas) from the Multi-DENCO indoor unit
2 Branches of discharge line
3 Liquid Line returning to the Multi-DENCO indoor unit
4 Branches of liquid line
For any installation with 2 condenser in tandem configuration:
• Both must be placed on the same level
• If this is not possible, an external liquid receiver must be installed
• Pipes 2 and 4 (pipework after the 'T-Joint') should be 1 pipe diameter size smaller
than pipes 1 and 3 respectively (see tab 6.1 and 6.2)
• Ensure that A = A and B = B
• For Horizontal Airflow: A + B < 5 metres
• For Vertical Airflow: A < 5 metres and B < 5 metres

6.2.5 Thermal expansion

All pipework, which is subject to changes in temperature, expands and contracts. The
routing and joining of the pipework must be capable of absorbing this movement. An
example of the rate of expansion on a Multi-DENCO unit is as follows:

with expansion. If long, straight pipework is unavoidable, the following methods can be
used:
– Expansion loops
– Offsets
– Anacondas (see manufacturer's datasheets for details)
If using expansion loops or offsets, the following minimum dimensions must be obser-
ved:

6.2.6 Insulation
For insulating pipework:
– All insulation (e.g. Armaflex or equivalent) shall be class O minimum 3/8" wall thick-
ness
– All joints and edge splits must be glued or taped on suction lines
– Vapour sealing is not required on hot gas lines
– Any painting of insulation installed outdoors must be completed in line with manu-
facturer's guidelines
Each site must be individually assessed depending on pipework exposure, position,
length and accessibility to pipework, but for Multi-DENCO units:
A-Version: Discharge lines and liquid lines do not need to be insulated, but may be required due
to site conditions and accessibility to pipework. We recommend insulating the liquid
line in the raised floor to avoid heating the cold air.
X-Version: Both lines (suction and expansion) MUST be insulated.
6.2.7 Cutting tubes

Where appropriate, pipework and cables shall be sleeved when passing through buil-
ding walls or roof structures.
When cutting copper tubing or pipe, care must be exercised to prevent the filings or
cuttings from entering the pipe. Some effective means should be used to clean out the
small particles of copper when they do enter the tube or pipe. When cutting copper
tubing with a wheel cutter, it is extremely important to use sharp wheels. The copper
wears the edge of the wheels more quickly than might be expected; therefore the con-
dition of the wheel must be checked regularly. Always ream the tube ends to remove
burrs.
NOTE!
We recommend using a wheel cutter as the best method for cutting pipework.
6.2.8 Brazing
Brazed joints are to be made with Easy-Flo® or similar copper alloy rod. Flux is not
required for joining copper to copper. When bronze or brass is involved, Silver-Flow®
self-fluxing rod or similar is required.
NOTE – IMPORTANT!
When soldering or brazing, purge a small amount of dry nitrogen through the
pipe to prevent oxidation and scaling internally. Failure to purge nitrogen whilst
brazing will result in scale build up and this WILL block the
Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV).
Any subsequent scale found within the valve body may result in voiding of
warranty!

It is necessary to create a positive pressure inside the pipe. Before applying heat to
pipes, remove Schraeder valve cores and open any other valves, solenoids etc. which
will cause a build-up of pressure in the line and, therefore, blowholes in the joint. Also,
any valve seats, gaskets, capillaries etc. that may be damaged by heat, flux or dry
nitrogen must be removed or protected, (e.g. wrap in a cold damp cloth.).
When making soldered or brazed joints, it is essential that the surfaces to be joined are
clean. Unclean metals do not take the flux properly, which results in bare spots over
the brazing alloy and will not flow. Thin films of soldering alloy make the strongest
joints. Clearances of between 0.02 mm to 0.07 mm are all that are required. Too much
clearance prevents the proper capillary action, wastes alloy, promotes a weak joint and
allows ingress of soldering material in the lines. After completion of joints ensure that
all surplus flux is thoroughly cleaned off. Flux left on the pipes looks unsightly and can
cause oxidisation, pitting and prematurely age the tubing.
6.2.9 Oil traps
Fig. 6-4: Requirements of discharge lines on Multi-DENCO units

If the condenser(s) are installed ABOVE the Multi-DENCO unit, for the discharge line:
– The condenser must be NO MORE than 35 m above the Multi-DENCO unit
– 'P' traps must be installed at the bottom of EVERY vertical riser in the discharge line,
including pipework outside of riser cupboards (Detail 1)
– For every max. 5 m of vertical pipework, and 'S' trap must be installed (Detail 2)
– At the top of every riser a bend should be used to prevent oil return (Detail 3)
– Use a 1% slope in the direction of refrigerant flow (Detail 3 & 4)
NOTICE
Failure to install sufficient oil traps can cause a lack of lubrication in a compressor
resulting in poor performance or failure.
The last trap (detail 3 in Fig. 6-4) prevents liquid refrigerant travelling backwards
to the compressor outlet.
• Ensure suitable oil traps are installed as per Fig. 6-4.
When the condenser is located BELOW the Multi-DENCO unit, oil traps are not requi-
red. Consideration must be given to ensure that the liquid line pressure losses are not
excessive (see chapter 6.2.3 'Sizing' for more information).
6.2.10 Tube support (clamping)

It is recommended:
– All tubing should be independently clamped in position using a cushion based
vibration absorption clamps
– Supports should be spaced at no more than 1.5m separation
– A thermal break should be provided between suction pipes and any
support brackets
6.2.11 Fan removal to aid installation

On certain downflow units, access to the refrigeration pipework connections can be dif-
ficult (especially if there is no side access to the unit). Multi-DENCO units are designed
to allow for the removal of fan closest to the pipework to make installation easier.
NOTE – LABELLING OF ELECTRICAL WIRES!

It is very important to observe and label any electrical wires for the fan being remo-
ved to ensure a correct re-installation.
Fig. 6-5

Each fan assembly is heavy and can weight up to 36 kg (special designs could
weigh more).
• Conduct a risk assessment and plan any manoeuvre before starting any work.
• Ensure a safe lifting procedure is observed.
1 Remove the 2 x 4.8 mm self-tapping screws that connect the mullion to the horizontal
frame.
2 Remove the 2 x 4.8 mm self-tapping screws that connect the mullion to the bracket and
vertical frame
3 Loosen the fan inlet ring (6 x M6x25 bolts) but DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS
4 Remove the bolts used to fix the fan assembly to rails. Once unscrewed, remove the
assembly by pulling it towards the front of the unit as far as possible. Then lift the
assembly up and remove it from the unit.
6.3 Refrigerant pipework testing procedures

On completion of the refrigeration pipework the equipment must be pressure tested
with dry nitrogen, at a pressure relevant to the refrigerant used. This should be com-
pleted by a competent person holding the relevant refrigerant handling qualification.
NOTE!
The procedures below are according to EN 378 and are the minimum standards
expected during leak, pressure and strength testing. Always refer to your country/
region specific legislation.
Leak testing A thorough leak test must be performed to ensure that the system is 'leak tight'. It must
be carried out at pressure, using oxygen-free nitrogen. This can be carried out at rela-
tively low pressures (see below) in accordance with safe methods of working and good
refrigeration practice
Certification On all new installations once the system is found to be leak free, a label stating date
and time and final pressure reading is to be attached to the pipework inside the unit.
A pressure test certificate must be signed, witnessed and passed to the commissioning
engineer.
NOTE!
The use of 'tracers' or 'dyes' are not permitted on Multi-DENCO units under any cir-
cumstances.
NOTE!
Depending upon your commercial agreement, you may be required to perform the
vacuuming and oil and refrigerant pre-charging of the system, before the commis-
sioning engineer's arrival.
For details of this 'Pre-Commissioning Procedure' please see chapter 8 'Commis-
sioning' and in particular chapter 8.2.6 'Initial charge for refrigerant circuits'.
Important safety information is listed at the start of chapter 8, therefore read the
whole chapter IN FULL before commencing any work.

6.3.1 A-Version: Size 010 to 065

For standard units, all devices fitted to the low pressure side of the system are suffi-
ciently pressure rated and can remain connected to the system during pressure
testing.
1: Ensure that the adjacent area is clear of non-essential staff, complete a risk
assessment and establish an exclusion zone for safety purposes.
2: Insert 3.5 bar nitrogen into the unit to identify first fix leaks, if leaks occur, release
the nitrogen, repair the issues and re-insert nitrogen to 3.5 bar.
3: Complete a strength test by pressurising system with dry nitrogen to 47.6 bar and
leave on test for a minimum of 60 minutes.
4: On completion of the strength test drop the pressure down to zero by using the relief
valve on the nitrogen regulator or charging manifold.
5: Repair any leaks found and then repeat steps.
6: If the client or end-user requires witnessing the pressure test, carry out this witness
at this point making notes of dates, times and pressures.
7: At the completion of the pressure test, the Oxygen-Free Nitrogen charge should be
safely purged away leaving a holding charge prior to the evacuation process.
Ensure you have recorded the holding charge in your records at this point.
8: On completion, prepare and sign the 'Pressure Test Certificate' (chapter 13.2).
6.3.2 A-Version: Size 092 & 130

NOTICE
During the pressure test, system pressures exceed the maximum values specified
by the supplier. Exceeding these pressures could damage the sensors resulting
in incorrect operation by the unit.
• Ensure low pressure switches are disconnected before pressure testing.
1: Ensure that the adjacent area is clear of non-essential staff, complete a risk
assessment and establish an exclusion zone for safety purposes.
2: Low side strength test; Complete a strength test on the whole system by
pressurising with dry nitrogen to a maximum of 33.0 bar and leave on test for a
minimum of 30 minutes.
3: High side strength test; On completion of step 2, CLOSE THE SUCTION LINE
SHUT OFF VALVE, and increase the dry nitrogen pressure to 47.6 bar and leave
on test for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4: Decrease the pressure to 17.2 bar by using the relief valve on the pressure
regulator or manifold. Re-fit the LP switches, open the suction line valve and
complete a bubble test on the LP switch joints.
5: On completion of step 4, reduce the pressure to zero by using the relief valve on the
nitrogen regulator or charging manifold.
6: Repair any leaks that are found and then repeat steps 1 to 5.
7: If the client or end-user requires witnessing the pressure test, carry out this witness
at this point making notes of dates, times and pressures.
8: At the completion of the pressure test, the Oxygen-Free Nitrogen charge should be
safely purged away leaving a holding charge prior to the Evacuation process.
Ensure you have recorded the holding charge in your records at this point.
9: On completion, prepare and sign the 'Pressure Test Certificate' (chapter 13.2).

6.3.3 X-Versions and DENCO-OfficeCool H-Versions

For guidelines on how to perform pressure testing for these installations, please refer
to the separate installation manual.
Some condensing units may be delivered with a 'pre-charge' of refrigerant: ensure this
is not released during pressure testing.
6.4 Humidifier water connections (optional)

The humidifier unit must be connected to a standard piped cold water supply. All mains
water pipework to humidifiers must be installed to national and local standards, in par-
ticular, local water authorities' regulations and requirements.
• Connect the humidifier using a fitted flexible hose and a compression fitting.
• The water supply should have a stop cock adjacent to the unit.
• The earth bonding (supplied) must be connected to the incoming water supply and
also to the drain line if electrically conducting tubing is used for instance copper pipe.
Supply water quality In general the water supply feed to the humidifier must be normal quality drinking water
but must comply with the following parameters:
– Water feed pressure between 0.1 and 0.8 MPa (1 and 8 bar)
– Temperature between 1 and 40 °C
– Hardness not exceeding 400 ppm equalling CaCO3 (40 °fH)
– Conductivity 125 to 1250 µS/cm (microSiemens/cm) (depending on bottle used)
– No organic substances
In operation, the humidifier can produce hot water vapour. The vapour, tubing that
it is directed through and areas that it has been in contact with can be hot and will
cause scalding or burns.
• Always allow time for the humidifier and affected regions to cool sufficiently before
starting any work
• Do not touch affected regions with unprotected skin.

NOTICE ON WATER USE!

– Under no circumstances should the water supply be fed from a water softening
system.
– Do not add disinfectants or anti-corrosive substances (irritants).
– It is not recommended to use industrial water or chemically and bacteriologically
polluted water for cooling circuits.
– Do not use demineralised water (e.g. osmosis/purified water)
– Where a salt exchange plant is in use at a site, the feed water to the unit should
by-pass this.

6.5 Connecting condensate drain

Air handling unit The following should be considered during installation:
– Drainpipe runs shall be 22 mm OD or larger of water carrying quality of either copper
or high temperature rigid plastic and should be adequately supported at regular
intervals and have a slope of at least 2 % to ensure drainage.
– If the run is long and has a number of bends, the tube should be adequately sized
Drainage and suitable cleaning (rodding) eyes installed at bends.
stack
– If an air handling unit is fitted with a humidifier, drain pipework must be designed as
Drip tray temperature-proof to withstand up to 100 °C.
– Upon completion of the installation, drain pipework should be leak tested.
– Depending on unit type, condensate traps may be in-built into the unit or the pipe-
work may be provided loose - review unit design before completing installation.
Condensate
humidifer drain – Condensate trap must be filled with water prior to commissioning and after long inac-
Air break
tive periods.
– Electrically conductive drain pipework should be earthed at a point adjacent to the
unit.
Fig. 6-6: Condensate drain
NOTE!
Some units will have two separate drains to connect (humidifier/condensate).
NOTICE
Local and regional legislation will require a minimum quality standard for drainage.
• Ensure the drainage system is reviewed during installation and assessed for
possible issues, such as, blockage, overflow, contamination and Legionella.
NOTE!
Direct connection to a waste network is not allowed. Ensure drain has an air break
fitted as shown in Fig. 6-6.

6.6 Connecting water pipework

Mechanical connections shall only be carried out by qualified licensed staff or other
individuals with professional training and experience in the relevant accident preven-
tion regulations.
Chilled water pipework connections are placed at the bottom of the Multi-DENCO unit
and are terminated with flanges, BSP connectors or just copper tubes (solder connec-
tion). Please refer to the unit dimensional drawing.
When connecting:
– Entire chilled water circuit must be designed and installed to national and local stan-
dards and regulations.
– Piping and pump must be properly sized to meet the design volume flow. Non-com-
pliance can cause operational malfunctions.
– All chilled water and dry-cooler water pipework must be vapour sealed and insulated
to avoid condensation and capacity losses. The exterior surface of steel piping must
be protected against corrosion using protective paint.
– Hydraulic devices such as solenoid valves, modulating valves or hand shut off val-
ves may cause hydraulic hammer. This condition should be avoided.
– Beware of any residual glycol solution that may be left in the hydraulic circuit follo-
wing testing. Residual glycol solution must be disposed of in an environmentally-fri-
endly manner.
– Whenever possible it is recommended that "reverse return" piping (Tichelmann
system) be used for multiple installations to ensure an easily balanced system.
– Regulating valves (preferably with pressure test points for measurement of volume
flow) should be used before each unit to enable balancing of water flow rates. This
regulating valve should be installed before each unit.
NOTICE
The chilled water circuit must be protected from fouling, freezing or solid materi-
als. Failure to do so may result in poor performance or system failure.
• Install at least 1 water strainer per hydraulic circuit
• Provide frost protection though glycol or trace heating on external pipework
• Chemically treat condenser water served by an open evaporative cooling tower.
• Ensure filtration of solid materials within the circuit
We recommend using a plate heat exchanger for system separation.
– Separate isolating valves should be provided at all equipment to enable servicing to

be carried out without draining the water circuit system.
– Thermometers and pressure gauge test points should be located in supply and
return lines of air handling units, heat rejection unit or chillers for commissioning and
normal service checks.
– All high points and coils of the water circuit must be provided with vent cocks to
enable system venting to prevent air locks. Your Multi-DENCO unit is already provi-
ded with a vent at the top of the coil.
– All coils and low points of the water circuit must be provided with drain cocks to
enable complete draining.
– Pipe expansion and contraction should be allowed for by the installation of expansi-
on bellows and loops (where necessary).
– A closed type expansion tank must be provided for the hydraulic system.
– Pipework must be properly cleaned and flushed.
– Pressurisation may be required to ensure a static head pressure is always available
to protect the circulation pump from cavitation.

6.6.1 Water quality

Recommendation on water quality for chilled, warm and condensing water circuits/heat
exchanger:
Parameter Unit Value

pH-value (at 20 °C) 7.5 - 9
Conductivity (at 20 °C) μS/cm < 700
Dissolved solid materials (cR) O2 mg/l < 0.1

Sulphate SO42- mg/l < 50
Nitrite NO2- mg/l < 50
Nitrate NO3- mg/l < 50
Tab. 6-6
A good water quality – e.g. salt and lime free drinking water – considerably increases
the service life and efficiency of the unit and the connected secondary system.
• Check the limit values in the table once a year to avoid damage to the hydraulic
system components.
6.6.2 Glycols
Glycols and other anti-freeze materials can be harmful for humans and animals.
• Prior to use, refer to the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• If ingested, seek urgent medical help.
NOTE!
The following recommendations are based on using the brands Antifrogen® N for
ethylene glycol and Antifrogen® L for propylene glycol. Other suppliers and variety
may have different properties or hazard warnings.
• Always refer to the supplier's information and the MSDS.
Water-glycol mixtures have different thermodynamic and physical properties to water-

only chilled water systems. If glycol is mixed with a medium, the resultant mixture has:
– Lower specific heat capacity
– Higher viscosity
– Increase flow rate
– Increased pressure drops
– Increased power and current consumption of a pump
– Lower cooling capacity
– Larger thermal expansion when compared with water-only

When using glycol:

• Water-glycol mixture does not have a burst effect starting from frost resistance of -
20°C, as slush ice forms when the mixture is cooled below the freezing point.
• Use only one type of glycol, do not mix different types.
• Only charge the system with a prepared water-glycol mixture.
• Do not use Teflon seals if using water-glycol mixtures.
• Add glycol concentration to match the ambient temperatures to ensure energy
consumption of the pump is not excessively increased.
• Once a system is filled, always double check the water-glycol concentrations.
Minimum concentrations to prevent corrosion:
– Ethylene glycol = 20% by volume
– Propylene glycol = 25% by volume.
NOTICE
Excessive volumes of glycol within a chilled water system can result in poor heat
transfer, increased viscosity and possible damage to pumps and valves.
• Glycol content must be less than 50% of total system content.
6.6.3 Connecting chilled water pipework
NOTICE
Incorrect fitting of water inlet and outlet connections can result in leaks and cooling
capacity reduction.
• Counter hold connection fittings to prevent damage.
– We recommend using a pipe wrench.
Access to water pipe connections can sometimes be difficult if there is no side access.
The procedure to remove indoor fans to allow easier access to the connections is in
chapter 6.2.11.
NOTE!
There are three different available connections depending on the size of the equip-
ment (see unit type code)
– 'BSP pipework connections'
– 'Flange pipework connections'
– 'Solder connections'
• Connect the piping system, to the chilled water inlet/outlet in accordance with best
practice and conforming to and local and national regulations.

6.6.4 Hot water heating (optional)

The L.P.H.W. (low pressure hot water) coil is fitted with a modulating three port valve,
which is wired and fitted within the unit casing.
It is important to consider the fitting of commissioning sets in the supply/return pipe-
work to allow accurate water measurements and flow adjustments. These should be
supplied and fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
The installation of the hot water pipework is similar to that of the chilled water pipework
(chapter 6.6.3).

Electrical Connections Multi-DENCO
7 Electrical Connections
When making an electrical installation, the installer must:
• be qualified and licensed according to local and regional regulation.
• Observe regulation relating to electrical power supply for the installation region
• Observe the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
• Provide potential equalisation
• Equipped, and any connected component, must be wired with an earth
connection.
Unmade or partly made electrical connections have a high hazard of creating an

electrical potential on other materials. This can lead to death or serious injury.
When installing electrical connections:
• Ensure all power supplies are disconnected including existing connections and
power to new connections to be made
• Ensure any power supply cannot be inadvertently energised by 'locking' the
power supply.
NOTICE
The electrical wiring must be installed fully and correctly.
Failure to do so may result in damage to components and failure to operate.
• Always refer to the 'unit-specific' wiring diagram.
• Never connect multiple units to the same mains power supply.
Failure to follow these instructions can invalidate warranty.
7.1 Requirements
Before making electrical connections, check the following:
– The mains power supply properties comply with EN 60204-1:2006+A1:2009 and the
power requirements of the unit.
– Mains power supply voltage tolerance should not exceed ± 10% with a maximum
phase difference of 3%.
NOTE!
We recommend installing power surge protection devices in areas of poor quality
electrical supply.

Multi-DENCO Electrical Connections
7.2 Connecting mains power supply
7.2.1 Cable requirements

A suitable 3-phase mains supply (with earth and neutral) shall be available to connect
the unit (voltage and frequency must be according to the unit identification plate). The
power supply line must be equipped with necessary protective devices; in particular,
fuses must be of type D.
7.2.2 Electrical protection requirements

The pre-fuse size should be determined on the basis of the wiring diagram or unit iden-
tification plate and must not exceed the size specified in the above-mentioned docu-
ments. For further information contact your local sales office.
7.2.3 Cable connection

Connect the main power supply cable to the isolator provided within the unit. ALWAYS
refer to electric wiring diagram supplied with the unit.
NOTE!
When connecting the supply voltage, make sure to observe the clockwise rotating
direction! If the rotation direction is incorrect, an adjustment shall be performed by
changing the phases using the main connection of the unit. Change the phase
sequence of the power supply lines through other.
Never change the wiring in the unit control cabinet.
NOTE!
If NO door interlocked isolator is fitted to the unit, a multi-core cable must be used
for unit power (to avoid cable breaks by the hinged cabinets) and a means of isola-
tion must be provided meet country specific regulations. Always refer to local and
country specific electrical regulations when installing power supplies. A maximum
distance of 1m from the unit is recommended.
If the unit is supplied with an "Automatic Transfer Switch (Dual Power Supply)", this will
be in a different location to the isolator.
7.2.4 Cable routing inside unit

– Multi-DENCO units are designed for cable entry from the BOTTOM of the unit.
– Secure any interconnecting cables within the unit and ensure that the cables cannot
make contact with the fan or any hot components.
– Do not remove any unused rubber glands or blanking plugs.
– Do NOT drill any holes in the top panels of ANY electrical cabinets.
– Cable routing must consider that some electrical panels can pivot on hinges.

2 boards will be provided.
Designated terminal blocks are available within the controls cabinet for connecting of
the outdoor condensing unit for power supply.
For further details please see the unit specific electrical contract drawing.

7.4 Connecting signal cabling
NOTE!
This chapter is for C5-12 controls only.
NOTE!
For all electric connections ensure that control and safety signals (24V AC) are run
in a separate cable to the mains power cable (e.g. 400V AC/230V AC). Where
power and signal/control cables have to run together, then a minimum gap of 30 mm
between each category is to be maintained. Ideally, power and signal/control cables
should never cross, but if unavoidable, ensure that they cross at 90°.
7.4.1 Signal cable installation

Maximum cable length: 100 m
Minimum cable 1.5 mm2
cross-section:
– Multi-DENCO units are designed for cable entry from the BOTTOM of the unit.
– Secure any interconnecting cables within the unit and ensure that the cables cannot
make contact with the fan or any hot components.
– Do not remove any unused rubber glands or blanking plugs.
– Do NOT drill any holes in the top panels of ANY electrical cabinets.
– Cable routing must consider that some electrical panels can rotate on hinges.
– Signal cables must enter the controls cabinet at the side of the cabinet, through the
rubber grommets provided
7.4.2 Remote display

For a remote/dual display, provided with a Multi-DENCO unit, the electrical require-
ments are:
– 2 core screen cable for data signal to the unit's C5-12 controller
– A 24V AC power source (this can be from the Multi-DENCO unit)
The remote display can be installed up to 50m away from the Multi-DENCO unit. In all
installations, consider the effect of signal attenuation and voltage drop.

7.4.3 Unit networking

When multiple Multi-DENCO are located within the same cold space, it is best practice
to set them up in a network. Creating a network has the advantages of being able to
perform sensor averaging or rotating standby units.
Details of how to network your units are available in the electrical drawing provided with
the unit and also within the Controls Manual.
NOTE!
If networking multiple Multi-DENCO units together it is strongly recommended that
this is carried out by an experienced FläktGroup engineer due to its complex nature.
Your local office can help you arrange this.
7.4.4 Network wiring
Up to a maximum of
15 units on the network

PELV circuits may induce power than can cause damage to control boards.
This may cause poor operation or system failure.
• Use double or reinforce insulation on electrical wiring external to the unit.

Multi-DENCO Commissioning
8 Commissioning
8.1 Requirements
NOTICE
READ ALL OF THIS CHAPTER BEFORE STARTING ANY WORK.
– Different options can require different commissioning procedures (e.g. winter kit).
– This chapter applies to initial commissioning as well as re-commissioning due to
extended shut down periods or relocation.
– Only R410A can be used in Multi-DENCO systems.
Refrigerants poses hazardous risks:

– Refrigerant cylinders can be heavy.
– Refrigerant cylinders can have unstable centres of gravity.
– Refrigerants are stored or used at high pressures.
– Systems using refrigerants can be operating with very high and very
low temperatures.
– Refrigerant released into an enclosed space could cause asphyxiation and death.
During commissioning:
• Ensure a full risk assessment has been conducted.
• Ensure only qualified individuals conduct work on the system.
• Establish an exclusion zone from the system for non-essential individuals.
• Ensure that the room is well ventilated.
8.1.1 Commissioning report

– A sample of the Commissioning Report is available in this manual (chapter 13.3)

protective clothing and equipment is worn. In particular:
– Suitable eye protection
– Suitable hand/finger protection
– Protective cloths for entire body including safety footwear
8.2.1 Pre-commissioning checklist

We recommend that the "Pre-Commissioning Checklist" is completed, by the instal-
ler/contractor, prior to the commissioning engineer attending site. A copy of this chec-
klist can be found in chapter 13.1. Please present this completed checklist to the
commissioning engineer on or before their arrival.
If the site does not meet the requirements or information required in the checklist, the
engineer may be unable to conduct the commissioning and may abort the commissio-
ning.

8.2.2 General checks

AFTER all installation work has been completed and the pre-commissioning checklist
has been completed, the following checks should be completed BEFORE mains
electrical supply power is applied to the unit:
Documentation
• Check that the unit configuration (listed on the serial plate) matches what has been
ordered
• Check the "Pre-Commissioning Checklist" (chapter 13.1) has been completed and
has been filed appropriately
• Check that a copy of this manual is available
• Check a copy of the electrical drawings/wiring diagrams are available
Multi-DENCO unit
• Check the unit internally and externally for any damage
• Photograph and record any damage (including shipping damage) and inform the
end user
• Check the unit has the minimum clearances available (chapter 5.1)
• Check that the fans inside the unit can rotate freely
• Check the unit is mounted suitably within the room (e.g. if on a base frame)
• Check that the entire heat exchanger is protected by the air filter(s)
• (If fitted) check the humidifier is supplied with water and that the earth bonding
device is secured to the incoming pipework
• Check that the condensate drain is connected correctly and water can drain freely,
for both coil condensate and humidifier (if fitted)
Room
• Check interconnecting services, Mechanical and Electrical, have been installed as
per requirements in chapter 6 & 7 respectively
• Check the dimensions of raised floor is sufficient for airflow (if used)
• Check floor tiles do not prevent the opening of panels and doors
• (If used) check all dampers (including fire protection) are fully open
• (For humidity control) check the control space/installation room is vapour sealed and
fresh air is not supplied excessively
Outdoor unit
• Check the unit is installed with appropriate clearances and the fans and coils are
free to operate (chapter 5.6.4)
• (If powered from indoor unit) check the unit's isolator is set to the 'ON' position
• If separates power supply, leave isolator in the OFF position

8.2.3 Checking refrigerant circuits (A-Version, X-Version & H-Version)

• Check the oil traps are installed and to specifications (chapter 6.2.9)
• Check that pipework is sized correctly and within the limits (e.g. length
between indoor and outdoor unit) (chapter 5.6.2)
• Check appropriate insulation has been added to pipework
• Check pipework for cleanliness and tidiness
8.2.4 Checking water circuits (C-Version, O-Version, CombiCool, Hot Water Heating)
• Check the hydraulic connections have been made correctly
• Check the hydraulic circuit is fitted with a water filter
• Check the water pipework is clean and has been flushed
• Check all shut off valves within the unit are open
• Check all filling valves and vent cocks are closed
• Check any water circuit safety devices for proper function
8.2.5 Checking electrical connections
Untested or unused electrical systems poses higher risks of faults.

Unsafe operation on these systems can lead to death or serious injury.
Before conducting the following checks:
• Ensure all electrical connections are isolated and interlocked to prevent
accidental activation
• Check the unit is voltage free
• Switch off all circuit breakers (MCBs)
NOTE!
When commissioning a unit with the option: "Automatic Transfer Switch (Dual
Power Supply)" it is important to check the electrical supply of BOTH the incoming
supplies. Both electrical supplies must match the requirements of the unit name-
plate. Also the phase rotation of both incoming supplies must be checked.
Select a primary supply using the supplied key and test that the dual power supply
changes over when the primary supply is lost. Then select the other supply to be the
primary power supply and carry out the test again.
• Check any electrical installation has been conducted as per the unit specific contract
electrical drawing
• Check all electrical connections are tight
• Check earth conductors are connected correctly and the earth terminals are secured
tightly
• Check any signal and mains power cables are segregated
• Check inside of the control cabinet for loose connections or damaged components
• Tighten all supply terminals in the motor terminal clamps
• Ensure temperature and humidity sensors are adequately protected by their
enclosures
ONLY when all the above checks been completed can the unit's circuit breakers
(MCBs) can be set to the ON position.

8.2.6 Initial charge for refrigerant circuits

NOTE!
It is recommended a triple evacuation is thoroughly conducted. If the system cannot
be evacuated to the levels defined below, you must NOT add any refrigerant and
the system installation must be checked and corrected. Once completed, re-con-
duct the procedure and ensure requirements are achieved. Incorrect or inadequate
evacuation resulting in moisture or contamination within the system will void war-
ranty.
NOTE!
No refrigerant commissioning can commence until the commissioning engineer has
reviewed the 'Pressure Test Certificate' (chapter 13.1) and ascertained what gas
and pressure the system is at.
NOTE!
Any work on the refrigerant system must only be carried out by suitably trained and
qualified personnel. Refer to local and national regulations and guidelines.
The recommended procedure requires a triple evacuation, whilst adding any addition
oil before adding the initial charge. It is as follows:
Initial evacuation
• Connect the service manifolds to the Multi-DENCO system in an appropriate and
safe manner.
• Make sure that all system valves are open (i.e. shut off valves)
• If the system contains Oxygen-Free Nitrogen (OFN), carefully purge the gas to
atmosphere in accordance with safe working practices
• Connect the vacuum pump to the service manifolds
• Achieve a vacuum of at least two Torr (2.6 mBar)
Adding oil
If the interconnecting pipe length (one-way) is greater than 20 metres, it is likely that
more oil would be required for the system. Your local representative can advise on the
amount of oil required (if supplied with the required information).
• Add the required oil to the system (under vacuum) via the discharge line.
NOTICE
Excessive oil added to a stationary compressor may cause a hydraulic lock and
damage the unit during start up. This will void warranty.
• During evacuation, oil must be added into the discharge line.
Non-return valves are installed in the compressor discharge line to prevent
the oil travelling against the flow direction (into the compressor).

NOTE!
Multi-DENCO units can contain two different types of compressors – each with their
own oil type. Please follow the below recommendations:
A-Version - Size 010 - 065 A-Version - Size 092 - 130
FV50S POE 160SZ
Emkarate RL68H Emkarate RL32H
Mobil Arctic EAL68
Alternative oils are compatible with the original oil type used, therefore these can
be mixed and alternatives can be used as "top up".
For X-Version & H-Version units, refer to the separate condensing unit installation
manual for compatible oil types.

Tab. 8-1
2nd and 3rd vacuum

• Shut off the vacuum pump and add oxygen free nitrogen to a system pressure of
1 bar.
• Safely release the gas to just above atmospheric pressure
• Evacuate the system to at least 2 Torr (2.6 mbar)
• Again, shut off the vacuum pump and add oxygen free nitrogen to a system pressure
of 1 bar
• Safely release the gas to just above atmospheric pressure and once again evacuate
the system to at least 2 Torr (2.6 mbar)
• Once achieved, turn the vacuum pump off and observe that the system maintains a
vacuum for at least 30 minutes to prove the tightness of the circuit.
• On completion of evacuation, the gauge manifold should be closed off and isolated
from the vacuum pump, then connected to a refrigerant cylinder, the gauge lines
should be carefully purged of any air.

Adding refrigerant
The initial 'charge' of refrigerant that is added to the system is not an exact measure,
but a volume of refrigerant to enable the system to start initially. This first charge should
always go into the liquid line of the unit and be approximately 75% of the planned
charge amount.
Your sales/support representative should be able to give you an estimate of total
system charge (if supplied with the required information).
• Add an 'inital-charge' of refrigerant R410A until 'high' and 'low' side pressures are
equal. Be careful that no liquid refrigerant is injected into the compressors.
• Close off the manifold valves and record the quantity of refrigerant added.
NOTE!
It is important that the volume of refrigerant added during the initial charge is recor-
ded accurately. When commissioning it is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT for the total
refrigerant weight to be added to the unit's nameplate. Ensure the pre-charge mea-
surement is accurate and this information is provided to the commissioning
engineer.
8.3 Commissioning procedure

NOTE!
Due to the complex nature of the Multi-DENCO product, we strongly recommend
that a FläktGroup commissioning engineer is employed to carry out the commissio-
ning procedure. Contact your local representative for assistance with this.
8.3.1 Room considerations

During commissioning, it is important to understand the heat load and the ambient tem-
perature in relation to:
– Initial design conditions
– Current conditions (during commissioning)
– (Possible) future conditions
For example, attempting to commission a Multi-DENCO A-Version unit in a room with
no heat source is difficult, as you would not be able to give a consistent operation to
observe refrigerant charge. Alternatively, commissioning a unit on a cold day could
result in lower condensing temperatures, which may cause over-charging of a unit.
Wherever possible, attempt to recreate the required conditions needed by the end
user, so that the unit is configured for the appropriate operating range. Always consider
that the ambient temperature on initial design conditions, may only be 'peak' tempera-
ture and that the unit will probably be operating at lower temperatures for a significant
percentage of operation.

8.3.2 Calibration of refrigeration devices

Before finishing commissioning, but after the initial charge has been added, various
refrigeration devices/sensors must be calibrated to ensure accurate operations. This
will require the controller/display to be enabled, but the cooling circuit must remain
disabled (i.e. compressors are off). This can be achieved by the controller or through
disabling MCBs.
These devices and the suitable commissioning devices are as follows:
– Suction transducer(s) with a refrigeration gauge
– Suction pipe temperature probe(s) with a temperature touch probe
– Discharge transducer with a refrigeration gauge
– Discharge pipe temperature probe with a temperature touch probe
NOTICE
Refrigeration devices that are not calibrated can result in safety and
protection features being disabled. Failure to calibrate during commissioning
will void the warranty.
8.3.3 Enabling the unit
NOTE!
For chilled water units, review and complete requirements of chapter 8.3.6 before
enabling the unit.
Once the electric power supply is connected and energised, there is a risk of
electric shock during commissioning. Also inverter circuits may store electrical
energy for some time after isolation.
• Once isolated, allow time for stored energy to fully decay before operating on
inverter based circuits.
With the initial charge added and the devices calibrated the unit can be enabled by the
following order:
• Enable any isolator or circuit breakers in the main power distribution board (both
boards for units with dual power supply)
• Ensure the outdoor unit's isolator is set to 'ON' (if applicable)
• Enable any 'in-line' isolation for the Multi-DENCO unit
• Set the door interlock isolator (if fitted) to the 'ON' position
• Wait 1 - 2 minutes for the unit to start up
• When display is active, press the 'Enable' button in the bottom left corner of the
display
9 The unit will now being to operate and control to the default settings in the
C5-12 controller.

8.3.4 Calibration of control sensors

Recommendation: If suitable cooling demand can be provided to the unit from within the controlled space
during commissioning, then at this point in the procedure would be appropriate to
change the set-point and other variables to the requirements of the end-user. Details
of how to change values in the C5-12 controller are available in the Multi-DENCO con-
trols manual.
Once the unit is enabled and operating, calibration of control sensors is vital to ensu-
ring an accurate and efficient operation of your Multi-DENCO unit. These sensors in-
clude (but are not limited to):
– Control temperature and humidity sensors – all fitted within the unit
and/or remotely
– Pipework pressure and temperature sensors
– Floor void air pressure control (APS) sensors
– Ambient temperature sensor
These sensors must be calibrated accurately to allow for a successful commission to
be completed. Failure to calibrate these sensors may lead to inefficient operation or
possibly alarms and non-operation.
8.3.5 Commissioning refrigerant circuits
NOTE!
When commissioning a refrigerant circuit for a Multi-DENCO unit it is important that
the compressors are operating at a high speed. Once the high speed is achieved,
time should be allowed for the system to stabilise.
Consideration and Targets

Below are the commissioning targets for an optimum system charge:
Superheat: 7 - 9 K (Default set point = 8 K)
Sub-cooling: 5-8K
Discharge superheat: Compressor(s) at Low Speeds (< 50 RPS) = 15 - 25K
Compressor(s) at High Speeds (> 50 RPS) = 25 - 35K
NOTE!
If fitted, it is important to consider the state of BOTH compressor speeds to under-
stand the unit's operating level. For example, an inverter compressor may be ope-
rating at low speeds (< 50 RPS), but if the other compressor is active then the unit
will be operating at above 50% capacity. Compressor speeds can be viewed in the
'Engineering level' of the C5-12 controller display.
All 3 of these variables must be considered together for a successful commissioning.

You must also consider/witness what these variables will be at different operating con-
ditions (e.g. low demand vs high demand).

Procedure
With a stable system, additional refrigerant can be progressively added to the circuit to
bring the system to the required charge. When adding refrigerant, the following proce-
dure and advice applies:
• Refrigerant should be added to the suction line as liquid
• A metering valve on a set of manifold gauges should be used
• Any refrigerant should be added as lightly/slowly as possible
NOTICE
Large concentration of liquid refrigerant entering the compressor can cause
'hydraulic lock' and permanently damage the compressor.
• Add refrigerant in no more than 0.5 kg additions.
• Allow the system to stabilise after each addition.
– It may take several minutes for the system to stabilise.
– Adding refrigerant too quickly can cause an 'over-charged' condition.
• To stop the charging, close the LP manifold valve

• Observe the state of the liquid in the Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) sight
glass
• Wait several minutes for the system to settle before proceeding further
• Observe the system to see if the unit charge is suitable and effective
• Observe superheat, sub-cooling and discharge superheat against targets listed
earlier in this chapter
• If fitted/required, adjust the fan speed controller settings to modify the sub cooling
settings
• If overcharge, remove refrigerant from system
NOTICE
Refrigerant is damaging to the environment.
• Never discharge refrigerant to the atmosphere.
• Recover any refrigerant and dispose of according to national/regional
requirements.
• If refrigerant circuit charge is to your satisfaction, re-perform the 'Calibration of

refrigeration devices' (chapter 8.3.2) to ensure proper operation of control devices.
• If good operation is observed, record the total charge of the system, check the oil
and perform the safety procedure as detailed in the next sections.

Oil level check

Before the system can be left as fully charged, the oil level within the system must be
checked a final time. There are 2 different procedures depending upon your size of
unit:
Size 010 - 065 For these sized units there is no oil level sight glass available, therefore the tempera-
ture of the oil reservoir within the compressor must be taken.
With stable running conditions, the reservoir temperature must be 10 K more than the
running evaporating temperature for example:
If evaporating temperature equals 10 °C then the oil reservoir temperature must be
greater than 20 °C.
Size 092 - 130 In these units, an oil balance sight glass is fitted, allowing for visual inspection of the
system. There are also sight glasses on each compressor which should be reviewed.
The below table describes what should be observed in the sight glass when at optimum
conditions:
Unit stopped Both compressors operating

Size 092 ½ to ¾ full ¼ to ½ full
Size 130 0 to ¼ full ½ full *
Tab. 8-2
* For this scenario, this must be observed in the sight glass for the fixed speed compressor.
If either scenario requires additional 'top-up' of oil, ensure this is conducted whilst the
unit is off and deactivated.
Function Test of Safety Device(s)

Multi-DENCO units are fitted with High Pressure (HP) switch(s) to mechanically protect
the refrigeration circuit. After charging, these MUST BE TESTED. For details of the
procedure, please refer to the controls manual.
This test requires system pressure to be continually increased to check safety

devices of the system. If the devices fail the test and appropriate actions are not
taken to stop further pressure increases, there is danger of pipework ruptures and
catastrophic failures. Failure to follow recommendations may lead to death or
serious injury.
• Do not allow the system pressures to rise above the Maximum Operating
Pressure (MOP) stated on the unit's nameplate.
• If the High Pressure (HP) switch fails to deactivate the compressors and the
pressure continues to rise; DEACTIVATE THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY (for
example, isolate the power supply).
Before re-enabling the unit;
• Mechanically measure the pressure within the system
• Wait until the pressures have reduced to normal standby conditions
• Ensure the condenser fan MCB(s) have been re-enabled.

8.3.6 Commissioning chilled water circuits

The following procedure applies to any water circuit used within a Multi-DENCO
system (C-Version, CombiCool circuit, O-Version etc).
Procedure
• Check for an established water flow
• Check that any temperature sensors are securely fastened to the correct pipework
• Take readings of water temperature sensors and compare these values with the
values displayed on the C5-12 controller: all probes and sensors MUST be
calibrated
• Check for correct rotation in the water pump and any air within the water system is
being removed by the pump or by air purge valves
• (If applicable) add, as required, pressure to any expansion vessels
• (If applicable) sample and check Glycol concentration (more details below)
• Record all details to the commissioning report
Glycol and corrosion inhibitors

We recommend using a hand held refractometer (for example Kittiwake, RHA-21ATC)
for measuring glycol concentrations. It is able to give accurate readings from a very
small sample of fluid and covers both Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol.
It is important to ascertain the quality and quantity of any glycol and corrosion inhibitors
(see chapter 6.6.2 'Glycols' on page 67). Pumps must never have a negative pressure
or vacuum on their inlet.
Automotive inhibitors and anti-freeze MUST NOT BE USED as nearly all automotive
anti-freeze contains silicate-based inhibitors, which gel and foul, coating heat exchan-
ger surfaces and reducing energy efficiency. These silicates have also been shown to
significantly reduce the lifespan of pump seals.
NOTICE
Low levels of glycol or inhibitors can cause corrosion of steel or iron
components.
• Ensure minimum concentration of inhibitor is above 20%.
Coolant concentrations are determined by first deciding what freeze and/or burst pro-
tection is appropriate for the application, based on operating temperatures or ambient
temperatures.
Fig. 8-1: Kittiwake hand held
refractometer
Freeze protection This is imperative when a system requires pumping. It is achieved when glycol concen-
trations in a system are sufficient to prevent ice crystals from forming when the fluid
experiences the lowest temperature for its application.
Burst protection This is achieved when the concentration of glycol in a system is high enough to prevent
the fluid from freezing solid. The glycol concentration will be lower than that of a 'Freeze
Protected' system, therefore it can form ice crystals at low temperatures (being a semi-
fluid state) and will no longer be pump-able. When ice crystals being to form the solu-
tion will expand.

The table refers to general percentage concentration of Ethylene Glycol. Always con-
tact the manufacturer for specific values for their variant of Glycol:
Temperature Percentage concentration needed for (%):

°C Freeze Protection Burst Protection
-7 16 11
-12 25 16
-18 32 21
-23 39 26
-28 44 31
-34 48 36
-40 52 37
-46 55 38
Tab. 8-3
Ethylene glycol gives added protection against system damage from bursting:
– On freezing water expands about 9%
– This volume change may rupture piping and cause catastrophic system failure
– Adding ethylene glycol significantly reduces the expansion the solution upon free-
zing, thus reducing the likelihood of system pipes bursting
– The higher the ethylene glycol concentration, the less the expansion
– Pure ethylene glycol does not expand at all upon freezing
Refer to the Tab. 8-3 for freeze and burst protection. In a system not operational in win-
ter, it may be sufficient to choose a lower fluid concentration, one that merely protects
against bursting, since some crystal formation in the fluid will not be harmful.
8.3.7 Water balancing

3 & 2-port Drive Open Drive Close Valves (DODC)
• Ensure the valve is '100% open' during water balancing; failure to follow this may
result limited capacity of the unit
• To force the valve to be 100% open, use the controls to modify the set-point
temperature (supply or return) so that it is below the water temperatures within the
chilled water circuit
2-port Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICV)
NOTE!
The following instructions are for 2-port PICV valves used with C5-12 controllers in
Multi-DENCO units. For all other configurations or equipment please see separate
manuals or contact your local office.

To set up the maximum design chilled water flow rate, on site:

• The unit must be powered on, pre-commissioned and running under automatic
control
• The chilled water pump must be operating to provide pressure differential across the
unit of 100 kPa (minimum 50 kPa, maximum 350 kPa)
• Force the chilled water valve to 100% open by reducing the set-point temperature
(supply or return) to below the water temperatures within the chilled water circuit
• Measure the chilled water flow rate using a hydronic manometer with the hoses
connected to the local orifice plate in the external chilled water pipework supplying
the unit (supplied/fitted by others)
• To adjust the maximum chilled water flow rate to design conditions, adjust the
setting PIC Valve Max Value % to achieve the design maximum flow rate (see the
C5-12 controller manual for instructions on how to do this)
• Record the maximum flow rate and PIC Valve Max Value %
8.3.8 Variances for winter kit

Units operating in low ambient temperatures may be fitted with a winter kit. The system
operates as a 'liquid backup'. At high ambient temperatures, the system regulates so
that liquid refrigerant is stored in the liquid receiver. At low ambient temperatures liquid
refrigerant is stored/backed-up in the condenser coil instead.
The components of the winter kit are:
– Electronic Regulation Valves (ERV)
– Condenser fans
– Liquid receiver with trace heating
– Control circuit transformer for controlling the ERVs (Evolution Driver)
– Control panel heater
– Mains Circuit Breaker (MCB) in the indoor units electrical panel (power supply to the
winter kit)
Commissioning engineers must observe the good practices with the following additio-
nal requirements for winter kits.

Procedure
1. Calculate the 'system refrigerant'.
– This is the refrigerant required to charge a standard system without a winter kit
option (indoor/outdoor unit and interconnecting pipework).
2. Calculate the refrigerant required to fill the liquid receiver to 80% (see Tab. 8-4).
NOTICE
Overfilling of liquid receivers can result in poor system performance or failure.
• The liquid receiver should never exceed 80% full.

At average condensing temperatures of 41 °C with 6 K sub-cooling; 35 °C liquid temperatures. Density = 1 kg/L3.
3. Before adding refrigerant, set the condenser fans to minimum speed and lowest
pressure setting.
– This is to allow the liquid receiver to be assessed whilst the fans are operating.
NOTICE
To change the required settings for C5-12 controls, you must use the display of the
unit, which requires the unit to be enabled. To perform safely you must observe the
following:
• Enable power to the unit and set the local isolator to the 'ON' position
• Wait for the unit to finish its start-up procedure
• DO NOT press the 'Enable' button on the home screen (bottom left hand corner)
• Navigate to the condenser settings (Advanced Level)
• Modify settings as advised
• Navigate to the home screen
• Set the local isolator to the 'OFF' position and remove power from the main
power distribution board
9 The unit is now ready for charging
4. Add the initial refrigerant.

• ONLY add 75% of the 'system refrigerant' (excluding the liquid receiver
refrigerant) should be added initially (see 'Initial charge for refrigerant circuits'
chapter 8.2.6).
• Enable the unit and set the compressors to operating at high speed (chapter
8.3.5)
• Add refrigerant in amounts no larger than 0.5kg into the suction line: using the
metering valve on appropriate service gauges.
• After each addition, allow the system to stabilise and check conditions before
adding any more.
• Monitor the sight glass throughout the process - when flashes of liquid are ob-
served – stop adding refrigerant

5. When liquid is observed, you will find that you have not use all of the estimated
refrigerant (system and liquid receiver)
– You will have only filled the liquid receiver to its minimum level (Fig. 8-2)
Required level
Level when 'liquid flashes' are

observed.
Fig. 8-2
• Add ALL the remaining estimated refrigerant to the system to fill the liquid
receiver further.
6. Once all the refrigerant has been added, the liquid receiver needs to be checked.
• Measure the ambient temperature on the face of the condenser coil.
• Take several measurements at different positions and calculate an
average value.
• Using the average temperature, the level of the liquid receiver should match
Tab. 8-5
• For example; if the temperature is above 20°C, the liquid receiver should only be
80 % full (no liquid refrigerant in the condenser coil)
• Otherwise; if ambient temperature is 0°C on the day of commissioning, then the
liquid receiver should be about 30 % full (lots of liquid refrigerant in the condenser
coil)

Tab. 8-5
• Using a touch probe on the receiver shell (under the insulation) measure every
5 to 10 mm to determine the liquid receiver fill level.
• If the level does not match, add/remove refrigerant to meet the values in
the table.
7. Once the refrigerant level is correct, perform standard calibration checking (chapter
8.3.4).
8. The condenser fan settings should then be restored to 24 Bar and left on 'Minimum
Speed' control.

8.3.9 Common commissioning issues

• If the discharge pressure is unstable, adjust the set-points and proportional bands
of the condenser until the discharge pressure stabilises. The condenser(s) should
be left on 'Minimum cut-off' wherever possible.
• If the electronic expansion valve(s) (EEV) do not open during start-up, and no alarm
or status message is shown, check the EEV transducers and the temperature probe
for functionality.
• (Size 010 to 065 units) if during charging there is an 'Overcurrent' alarm from the
inverter drive, potentially too much liquid is entering the compressor. Throttle back
the manifold gauge to reduce liquid entering the system.
8.4 Post-commissioning procedure
8.4.1 Nameplate
Once the commission has been successfully completed, it is a LEGAL REQUIRE-
MENT that the total refrigerant charge for the whole system is written onto the unit's
nameplate.
You will see space for this to be written on the bottom left corner of the serial plate.
8.4.2 Saving controller settings

After commissioning, we recommend that your service technician saves the unit confi-
gurations to the controller. This can allow for the system settings to be restored, back
to the configuration made during commissioning. More details of this feature are availa-
ble in the controller manual.
8.4.3 Commissioning report

As mentioned previously, it is very important that you submit a copy of the
'Multi-DENCO Commissioning Report' (chapter 13.3) to your local sales/service repre-
sentative, so that this can be retained against the project. Failure to do so may invali-
date warranty.
8.4.4 Configuration of accessories

Depending upon what design options have been selected, you may be required to con-
tinue with configuration of specific accessories (for example, humidifier or condensate
pump).
Refer to initial design selection or the serial plate within the unit to establish if all neces-
sary parts have been commissioned and configured.
NOTE!
For filter switches, we recommend the following settings:
– G4 = 0.7mbar (70 Pa)
– G7 = 1.2 mbar (120 Pa)
These values are based on standard pressure drops when fans operating at max
velocity. Different values may be required if fans are operating at lower speeds (as
alarm may not occur until fan increases speed to compensate for dirty filters).

Operation Multi-DENCO
9 Operation
More comprehensive details and explanation on the control and regulation of the
Multi-DENCO units are available in Controller Manual.
This manual does not cover control of units that have been provided "without controls".
9.1 Requirements
Prior to using a Multi-DENCO unit, a full and safe installation and commission must
have been conducted by a suitably qualified personnel and a record of both processes
must be stored. The commissioning report (chapter 13.3) must have been sent to your
local sales office to validate warranty during operation.
Before use all operators MUST be familiar with the following:
– The contents of this manual
– Safety assessment for the location where the Multi-DENCO unit is situated
– Location of the associated outdoor unit (if applicable)
– Location of power distribution board isolator
– Location of the mains isolator
– Either fitted within the door of the Multi-DENCO unit or within 1m of the unit
– Location of circuit breakers (MCBs) inside the Multi-DENCO unit
– Shut off (isolation) valves for the Multi-DENCO unit including (if applicable):
– Refrigerant circuit
– Chilled Water Circuit

9.2.4 Physical operation and access
NOTICE
During operation:
• Do not open any doors.
• Do not remove any panels of an operating unit.
• Do not remove any floor tiles near to the unit.
• Do not conduct any work above or below the unit.
• Do not insert any tools through any of the grilles of the unit.

Operation Multi-DENCO
9.2.5 Stopping the unit
Multi-DENCO units use fans which are regulated independently by the main control
board. Removing guards whilst unit is operational risks death or serious injury.
Inverters also store energy for a period of time after isolation.
• Disable the unit.
• Electrically isolate the unit.
• Wait AT LEAST 5 minutes.
9 Once fan momentum has ceased and the inverter energy discharged, you can
open the doors and conduct work.
• To stop the Multi-DENCO unit, simply press the ON/OFF button on the home
screen.
9 The screen will display 'UNIT OFF BY KEYBOARD' if successful.
9.2.6 Disconnecting from power supply
• Wait AT LEAST 5 minutes.
Having deactivated the unit (chapter 9.2.5) and waiting AT LEAST 5 MINUTES, you
can disconnect the unit by:
• Switch the isolator to the 'OFF' position for the outdoor unit (if applicable)
• Switch the isolator to the 'OFF' position on isolator fitted to the unit (or within 1m)
• Switch the isolator to the 'OFF' position at the mains distribution board
When the isolator fitted to the unit (or within 1 m) is in the OFF position, the first half
of the isolator could still be live (with electrical power).
• To ensure safe operations, ensure that the circuit has been isolated in the OFF
position at the mains distribution board and suitably locked to prevent inadvertent
re-connection of electrical power.
9.3 Alarms and error messages

Details and explanation of the alarms by Multi-DENCO units are available in controller
manual.
Chapter 11 'Fault Finding and Troubleshooting' has details of typical issues than can
be encountered.
NOTICE
Resetting of alarms without rectifying the cause can lead to extended unit damage,
which may result in the voiding of the warranty.

Multi-DENCO Servicing and Maintenance
10 Servicing and Maintenance

Regular preventative maintenance of your equipment is strongly recommended to
ensure that it is kept in excellent operating condition.
Along with equipment recommended in Chapter 2, we recommend that a protective
mask is worn during service and maintenance.
• Review your cleaning equipment's guidelines for the required properties of your
protective mask.
• Ensure your working area is well ventilated.
• Conduct your own personal risk assessment to evaluate any further requirements.
NOTE!
We recommend a maintenance contract with FläktGroup or an approved service
company. Maintenance shall only be undertaken by authorized and fully qualified
staff with the required Country specific qualifications in refrigerant handling and a
sound knowledge of the operation and the dangers involved with inverter techno-
logy and other electrical services.
• Ensure all incoming electrical connections are isolated and cannot be

inadvertently energised.
• Inverter technology and rotating fans required at least 5 minutes from
electrically isolating the unit before any doors or panels can be removed.
– Units fitted with and humidifier may have hot water condensate and hot
pipework/metal work
– Refrigeration circuits may have both very hot and very cold sections within
the same system.
Whilst cleaning, thin fins present a risk of cutting. Panels and doors can be heavy
and present a crushing risk when being removed.
• Do not touch the coil with unprotected skin.
• Ensure doors are properly attended when being removed.
• Use access platforms for units that are installed above floor height.
NOTICE
Damaging fins or louvres during the cleaning process will reduce the
unit's cooling capacity.

Servicing and Maintenance Multi-DENCO
10.1 Maintenance access

All panels can be removed to perform maintenance.
However, all main components are accessible from the front.
10.2 Servicing
Routine, planned maintenance visits will be required throughout the year to
maintain efficiency and may also be a legal requirement depending on Country spe-
cific legislation.
The intervals of service will depend entirely on the operating conditions of your room.
This can be as often as once per month for critical, production essential equipment.
Your FläktGroup representative will be able to assist you with arranging a maintenance
contract that will suit your needs.
During maintenance and servicing:

• Do not allow the system pressures to rise above the Maximum Operating
Pressure (MOP) stated on the unit's nameplate.
• If the High Pressure (HP) switch fails to deactivate the compressors and the
pressure continues to rise; DEACTIVATE THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY (for
example, isolate the power supply).
Before re-enabling the unit:
• Mechanically measure the pressure within the system
• Wait until the pressures have reduced to normal standby conditions
• Ensure the condenser fan MCB(s) have been re-enabled.
NOTE!
Items of equipment attached to the refrigerant circuit, for instance the H.P.
switch (Fig. 10-1), are often protected by a schrader core. If this is the case the
connecting nut is painted red. If the connecting nut has no red paint then you
must assume that no Schraeder core is present and therefore the whole
system refrigerant charge will have to be recovered before the component
can be removed
Fig. 10-1
10.2.1 Example Maintenance schedule

Below show an example maintenance schedule for a Multi-DENCO unit. We advised
the below is the minimum requirements. Most situations will require further actions and
a shorter time interval to ensure good operating conditions.
After every inspection, any relevant information must be recorded into the logbook.
Certain countries have specific legislation regarding record keeping (e.g. Fluorinated
Greenhouse Gases Regulation (EU) No 517/2014). Please refer to chapter 10.7 'Log-
book & EU Regulation' for more details.

years of
operation
Tab. 10-1
1The equipment should be thoroughly tested to ensure there are no refrigerant leaks to comply with EN 378-4:2008+A1:2012
Associated equipment should also be service in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.

10.3 Refrigerant leak testing

Leak testing on the equipment is required:
– After any strength affecting work (e.g. Brazing)
– If the unit has not operated for longer than two years
– Changes or extensions to the system
– Suspicions of refrigerant leakage
– On Multi-DENCO systems with a R410A refrigerant charge of 2.4 - 23.9 kg (equiva-
lent 5 - 50 tonnes CO2) a yearly leak test is mandatory.
– On systems with charges of 24 - 239 kg (equivalent 50 - 500 tonnes CO2) then it is
mandatory to perform a leak test twice a year.
– Within one month of fixing a refrigerant leak
10.4 Compressor care

NOTICE
Following advice received directly from the manufacturers of compressors, we DO
NOT allow the use of additives (for example Quickshot®) with ANY Multi-DENCO
system. ANY USE WILL INVALIDATE WARRANTY.
On new Multi-DENCO systems, if installed and commissioned correctly, no acids are

present. Multi-DENCO units are fitted with molecular sieve type of drier to help
moisture content be at an extremely low level.
If the system has operated under adverse conditions for some time, weak acids may
appear from the oil and refrigerant by system heat and electrical arcing. This acid will
remain INERT until moisture is added to the system, for example, via air ingress into
the system during service work.
NOTE!
During any service or at any time that the refrigeration system is opened, a replace-
ment filter drier (molecular sieve type) should be fitted. These can contain a propor-
tion of activated oxides that absorb weak acids and remove them from the system.
10.5 Humidifier maintenance (if fitted)

As the humidifier usually operates in automatic mode and the relevant wear of the
device is displayed, a standard maintenance interval is usually sufficient. Cylinder life
will be dependent on the quality of the water supplied and the length of time the cylinder
will be active.
Each cylinder is equipped with an integrated filter in the drain pipe. With every cylinder
replacement this filter must be changed also.

10.6 Closing down procedure

It is essential for starting, closing down, emergency operation and fault finding to know
the location of the following components:
– Location of isolator for power distribution to the unit
– Main Isolator (integral to unit or local position)
– ON/OFF icon on the display of the unit
– All valves likely to affect water supply to humidifier (when fitted)
NOTE!
The units are designed for continuous operation and it is recommended that the
system is kept running overnight and at weekends to maintain stable room conditi-
ons.
Short periods Should you require the equipment to be closed down for the weekend or Bank Holi-
days, no special precautions are required.
Each unit may simply be turned off by pressing the On/Off icon.
Alternatively, the "On/Off Times" can be configured in the controller software.
Long periods If the plant is to be shut down for longer periods (up to a month) this can be done by
switching off at the on/off icon, then opening the Main Isolator, and closing the local
mains water supply to the humidifier. When re-starting the plant, follow the same
instructions but in the reverse order.
Indefinitely When the equipment is to be taken out of service for an indefinite period we recom-
mend a qualified air conditioning engineer. An engineer will also be required for the
restarting of the equipment.
For units fitted with chilled water cooling and/or hot water heating, the mains power
should remain "ON" for at least the stroke time of the valve actuator to ensure that the
valve closes fully.
10.6.1 Freeze prevention of water pipework

If water piping is installed where the temperature may drop below freezing, it must be
completely drained. Water coils are difficult to drain therefore it is advisable to remove
any remaining water by using compressed air.
If systems are to remain out of operation for long periods, this can result in corrosion
of the inner surfaces of the piping and coils. Therefore we recommend that the hydrau-
lic system be refilled with an anti-freeze solution. The anti-freeze solution should con-
tain inhibitors. Refer to chapter 6.6.2 and ask your anti-freeze supplier for advice.
On re-commissioning the equipment, the anti-freeze solution must be drained and pro-
perly recycled.

10.7 Logbook & EU Regulation

A logbook should be available throughout the working life of the equipment. In the EU
this is a legal requirement if the system charge is 2.3 kg or above.
The logbook needs to be updated after each maintenance to comply with
EN 378-4:2008+A1:2012 and should include the following information:
– Initial refrigerant charge following commissioning
– Details of any maintenance or repair work
– Quantities of new, re-used or recycled refrigerant additions or removals
– If there is details of re-used refrigerant, the results should be kept in the
logbook also
– The refrigerant source should also be recorded
– Changes and replacements of any components of the refrigeration system
– Results of all periodic, routine tests
– The periods of any significant non-use
Members of the EU must also comply with the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regu-
lation (EU) No 517/2014, alongside any further country specific legislation. This regu-
lation places responsibility for record keeping and leak detection on the owner/operator
of the equipment and the company that services it.
Information required for this regulation is more comprehensive than a simple logbook
and a required period for record keeping, therefore all parties involved should have an
understanding of the regulations implications. Furthermore, individual countries can
impose stricter rules than those set within the regulation.

Multi-DENCO Fault Finding and Troubleshooting
11 Fault Finding and Troubleshooting

The Multi-DENCO range is designed to perform its primary function: cooling of the con-
trolled space, for as long as possible. As long as a consistent and suitable power sup-
ply is given to the unit, only 'Critical' alarms will stop the unit performing its primary
function. Other alarms or faults may deactivate additional features of the unit (e.g. turn
off the humidifier etc).
This chapter provides information on fault finding and remedies to problems found with
your unit. Fault finding shall only be carried out by qualified licensed staff or other indi-
viduals with proper professional training and experience in the relevant accident pre-
vention regulations, as well as other generally recognized safety and occupational
health codes.
Provided that a high quality, thorough and planned maintenance program is maintai-
ned, a Multi-DENCO unit should provide years of smooth and problem-free operation.
NOTE!
A quality, routine, planned maintenance program should be implemented from com-
missioning. Failure to have a maintenance program in place during the warranty
period may invalidate the warranty.
NOTE!
In the event of persistent faults, room conditions going out of specification or pos-
sible refrigerant leaks you must contact competent maintenance & service technici-
ans to rectify your problems. Your local representative should be able to help you
with this.
If you find that your room conditions are outside of design specifications, there are
some simple areas that you can check to gather valuable information:
– Have conditions within the room changed?
– Has the equipment been recently moved?
– Has the airtightness of the room been compromised (e.g. door/window open)?
– Is there new equipment with higher/lower heat load?
– Is the air path temporarily blocked?
– Has additional cooling equipment been added to the room?
– Have the grille tiles been moved?
– Observing the unit status:
– Has the unit got power from the main distribution board?
– Is the unit isolator in the ON position?
– Is the unit display working?
– What does the unit status description say?
– Is the unit controlled via BMS? What are the current commands?
– Is the unit a part of a network – is it currently in duty or standby mode?
– Can you hear the fans operating?
– Observe what previous alarms have been made (and dismissed)
– Have the set-points been modified?
– When was the last service?

Fault Finding and Troubleshooting Multi-DENCO
These simple questions and observations give important information to an engineer to

be able to appreciate a situation before attending site. The more information you can
provide, the more likely the issue will be solved in a fast and timely manner.
11.1 Common Issues

NOTE!
The advice in the following section assumes the unit has been operating consi-
stently for a significant amount of time with appropriate design conditions, applica-
tion and all necessary resources are supplied to the unit (electrical power, water,
free airflow etc.).
• Wait AT LEAST 5 minutes
Below is a list of conventional alarms or issues that, if initially installed and commissio-
ned properly, have a small chance of occurring. Before addressing the fault and pos-
sible remedy, please observe the following:
• Always refer to the correct electrical drawing for the equipment.
• Regular maintenance is the most effective measure to preventing any issues.
• Refrigerant leak testing must only be conducted by suitably qualified engineers
• If troubleshooting requires adjustments to the controller's settings, please refer to
the separate controller manual before proceeding.
• All person(s) must know the location of protection features for the unit (e.g. isolation
points) before conducting any work
• For water based circuits; plant hydraulic settings should not be altered as this may
affect the balance of the complete system. Rebalancing of a system can be a costly
operation, therefore any adjustments must be conducted by qualified individuals
with full knowledge of the system design and requirements.
The following table contains a sample list of mechanical issues and possible remedies
to fix them. A list of common control issues can be found in the separate controller
manual.
NOTE!
Due to the relationship between temperature and humidity, high temperature and
low humidity or alternatively low temperature and high humidity can occur at the
same time. To resolve such situations, always address the temperature first, before
taking measures to resolve humidity.

Dismantling and Disposal Multi-DENCO
12 Dismantling and Disposal
12.1 Dismantling
To dismantle a Multi-DENCO unit, proceed as follows:
• Ensure all incoming electrical connections are isolated and cannot be

inadvertently energised.
• Inverter technology and rotating fans required at least 5 minutes from electrically
isolating the unit before any doors or panels can be removed.
• Use earth and short-circuit and cover or isolate any neighbouring live parts.
• Recover all refrigerant or cooling medium and use inert medium (e.g. Oxygen
Free Nitrogen) to equalise the system pressure to meet ambient air pressure.
• Stop the unit as per chapter 9.2.5

• Disable electrical power to the unit as per chapter 9.2.6
• Ensure that the power supply cannot be 're-activated' by interlocking the supply/
supplies at the main power board and removing any fuses
• Humidifier
• Turn off the water feed to the humidifier (if fitted)
• Remove the humidifier connection to the condensate drain
• Ensure the humidifier bottle is suitably sealed or appropriately drained
• Water Circuits
• Close off/shut the valve on any water circuits, hot or cold (if fitted)
• Drain the water/water mixture from the circuit
• Disconnect the water connections and ensure no further fluid is leaking

Multi-DENCO Dismantling and Disposal
• Refrigeration circuits
• A specialist refrigeration engineer should be employed to recover and safely
dispose of the refrigerant gas and any associated oils and glycols prior to cutting
and capping off the refrigerant pipework
• A qualified electrical contractor should be employed to remove/recover the
main(s) and any interconnecting cabling
• Once mechanically and electrically separated from the system, attend to releasing
the Multi-DENCO unit from any fixings to the floor or other sub-structures
• Prepare the unit for handling and transportation as per chapter 4
12.2 Disposal
