Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electronic and electrical equipment and the disposal of
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Dispose of any waste electronic or
electrical equipment with the appropriate recycling center. Contact Schneider Electric for
assistance.
Checklists
Initial inspection
After installation, complete the following checklists to verify that all components are properly installed, the
location of the chiller has been properly prepared, and the chiller is free of damage.
Ensure that
All connections on the electrical terminal are tight.
Voltage to the electrical mains is correct.
Power supply phases are connected correctly.
Gas circuit pressures (pressure gauge) are within the correct parameters.
The percent glycol in the hydraulic circuit is correct.
The electrical panel door on the IG switch is closed, making sure first that the power supply phases have
been connected correctly.
Start-Up
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
Before starting the unit, read “Semi-hermetic screw compressor start-up procedure” on
page 12.
Do not disconnect the unit from the power supply for weekly stops.
During prolonged stops, the refrigerant may migrate spontaneously into the compressor casings, which on
start-up may cause the oil to foam and cause damage due to lack of lubrication.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
Activate screw compressors only in the recommended direction of rotation. Despite the
phase sequence check on the part of the protection device, we recommend you perform a
test.
1. Close the solenoid valves and the evaporator and economizer valve.
2. Start the compressor just briefly (approximately 0.5–1.0 seconds).
3. The pressure variations are considerably reduced compared to the choked suction valve.
a. Correct direction of rotation: The suction pressure drops.
b. Incorrect direction of rotation: The pressure remains the same, rises or the safety device is
deactivated.
4. Invert the polarity of the terminals on the common power supply line.
5. Start the compressor again and slowly open the suction valve.
Lubrication/oil control
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
Oil level should be visible in the indicator glass or slightly below (check repeatedly during the first few hours of
operation). During the start-up phase, oil foam may form, but this should diminish as the operating conditions
stabilize. If this is not the case, this may mean there is a high concentration of liquid in the suction gas.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
1. Before chiller start up, check that the air is bled from the water circuit.
2. Check the water level inside the pumps and fill it if needed.
3. After long periods of chiller inactivity, the pump may be jammed due to inner oxidation.
In this case, it is necessary to release smaller sized monobloc electropumps using a screwdriver in the
notch on the rear of the shaft. Turn the screwdriver (according to the normal direction of rotation) in
order to unlock any blockage between the rubber bushings. For the larger sized pumps, directly turn on
the shaft of the flexible coupling.

Ultracapacitor
The Ultracapacitor module is an optional electronic device that ensures temporary control power in the event of
a blackout. The module is made up of two buffer UltraCap condensers that are independently charged by the
module.
When a blackout occurs, condensers release accumulated energy until depleted. When power returns, the
condensers start to charge. To have efficient power to ensure control at the next blackout, about four minutes of
continuous charge are necessary.
The Ultracapacitor is set in the Hardware Settings menu. These settings do not enable/disable the device and
do not alter operations in any way. This device bases its operations on internal condensers, which power the
main control card during a blackout, charging themselves when power returns.
An icon appears in the main screen to indicate the Ultracapacitor charge status: 12:00 01/01/15 LAN 1

the second. Next, 75 on the first and 75 on the second. Lastly, 100 on the
first compressor and 100 on the second compressor. (Solution not
possible with Fusheng compressors.)
• 25-50-75: Steps 25, 50, and 75 of the first compressor turn on, then 25,
50, and 75 on the second, lastly 100 and 100%.
• 25-50-75-100: The first compressor turns on to 100% power, then the second at 25% while the second
increases to 100%. This avoids frequent compressor on-off if required cooling power is just over that
supplied by a single compressor at maximum power.

unit is equipped with additional pressure transducers on the cooling water
circuit.
Once the chiller is installed, the available necessary pressure can be set in Set Head Press.
Information from the sensors allows the controller to maintain this setpoint in all pressure loss conditions
and maintain constant water flow through the evaporator even with a 2-way valve or separately installed
hydraulic circuits.
This solution is helpful when system pressure loss can vary during chiller operation with installations in
which units are equipped with 2-way valves or separate water circuits. The controller monitors pressure
drops via the unit and modifies inverter speed and initial pump pressure. Required pressure prevalence
can be set directly on the local display interface or by the remote BMS supervision system.
• Manual logic (Flexible operat.): With this logic, the controller sets a value Pump Inverter
for inverter speed and a value for water flow. The unit works with the CTRL Head Press:Y

display under Speed Request or by the remote BMS supervision system. Act.Head Pres.kPa 0000
See “Default Values Update and Protocol Variables” on Speed request 000.0%
page 82 for more information.
This solution is necessary when system pressure loss is not fully known or site expansion is planned.
Once the chiller is installed, work pressure/water flow is set on the control card according to site
characteristics and the ∆T required by feed water. In the event of site changes, operating parameters
can be changed to regulate correct unit operations.

HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
To avoid system oscillations, we recommend you set high proportional band and integral
time values. Pump operations can also be managed with the measured “average”
pressure value or with the “local” value measured by the single sensor in the unit:
• Local mode: The pump is controlled by the pressure values read by the unit sensors.
• Average mode: The pump is controlled by the average pressure values read by unit
sensors connected in the local LAN.

Overview
Several units installed in the same area can be connected in a local network to manage the environmental
conditions as a group.The following guidelines describe group configurations:
NOTE: All units connected to the network must have the same version of flash memory on the board.
• A private terminal shows the status of the single unit connected to it by a telephone cable.
• A shared terminal shows the status of all the units connected to the network.
Each board can “talk” to three terminals at most; there are usually no more than two in normal operation: one in
the unit and one possibly in a remote location.

To communicate on the local network, the units must be configured so that each of them can convey the
information necessary to operate properly. The units must be numbered progressively (1, 2, 3,...10) and the
various terminals and LAN boards correctly addressed to them. The electrical connections must also be made
as described in the following sections.
1. With the new function for the pCO5 controller: a dedicated key and a 7-segment LED display
2. With an external terminal (e.g., pGD1)
The default setting of the pLAN address of the pCO5 programmable controller is ‘1’ for board number 1 and ‘21’
for board number 2; it is assigned a private terminal with address ‘11’.
1. On the controller, use a screwdriver to press and hold the “A” button.
Wait 2–5 seconds; the display flashes and the IP address appears. After releasing the button, the

Note the position of terminal contacts for quick pLAN connection between chillers equipped with pCO5+
controllers.
• The units are connected to the pLAN with AWG20/22 shielded, twisted pair cables with a capacitance of
less than 90 PF/m.
• The maximum length of the network is 500 m (1640.4 ft) with an AWG22 shielded, twisted pair cable.
• The controllers are connected in parallel to the J11 connector.
Use the twisted wires of the RS485 cable to connect the J11 pLAN terminals of the pCO5+ controller (Tx–, Rx+,
and GND) and connect one side of the shield with a lug in the bottom ground plate of the electrical panel.
The cable must be grounded in each unit and only on one side.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to connect the poles of the network correctly: the RX/TX+ connector of a controller
must be connected to the RX/TX+ connector of the other controller; the same applies to the RX/TX–
connectors.
NOTE: Schneider Electric recommends using Belden™ 9842 cables with the following specifications for LAN
and supervision network connections:
• Multi-pair wire with internal tinned copper flexible conductors (AWG 24)
• Polypropylene insulated
• Singularly shielded pairs with aluminum/polyester foil and tinned copper flexible continuity wire (AWG
24) combined on a common axis to reduce diameter
• Protected by an external PVC sheath
This cable is recommended for both pCO1 and pCO5 controllers.
NOTE: Route the pLAN cable far away from the power supply cables of the chillers or other devices, a
dedicated cables raceway has to be used for such purpose.

NOTE: The length of the network must not exceed a total of 500 m (1640 ft). If the display interface is remote
controlled, the length of the terminal cable is included in the total length.
NOTE: The terminal cable represents a branch of the network. If it is more than 5-m (16-ft) long, it can be
connected to only the first or last pCO controller on the network.
If both pin-strip jumpers are located between 2 and 3, the flow of current is interrupted between the separate
connectors and the dotted line. For all the connectors to be powered, both jumpers have to be between 1 and 2.
Terminal 0 is a supporting terminal and can be used to connect the screened cable to ground; the “T” parallel

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work
practices. See NFPA 70E or CSA Z462.
• This equipment must be installed and serviced by qualified personnel only.
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
• Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on power to this equipment.
WARNING
HAZARD FROM MOVING PARTS
Keep hands, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Check the equipment for
foreign objects before closing the doors and starting the equipment.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO PERSONNEL
Where a winter shut-down is planned, you need to empty out the hydraulic circuit and add
the necessary quantity of glycol to any water remaining inside the unit.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO PERSONNEL
Periodic inspection of the free-cooling hoses (if equipped) for leaks and potential
problems is recommended.
NOTICE
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Drain the water from the evaporator before recovering the refrigerant charge.
Failure to do so may result in the water freezing and damaging the evaporator.
Schneider Electric recommends that service personnel review the refrigerant Material Safety Data Sheet to
obtain important information regarding the hazards, handling, and personal protection to be worn.
These units are pre-filled at the factory and do not need to be filled with refrigerant unless problems occurred
during transportation and installation or in the event of safety valve intervention. If necessary, fill the refrigerant
according to the following instructions.
The refrigerant circuit must be emptied prior to replacement of certain components such as the safety valve.
CAUTION
HAZARD OF HIGH PRESSURE REFRIGERANT OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
These units use refrigerants that require careful attention for storage and handling
procedures.
Service personnel must have hydrocarbon refrigerant handling training.
These units must be filled with refrigerant fluid in the liquid phase through the pin valve situated between the
thermostatic expansion valve and the evaporator, until any gaseous bubbles disappear from the liquid indicator.
The refrigerant must be filled in nominal conditions and with a delivery pressure of 10.5–12.0 bar (43–48°C).
Check the data plate for the quantity of refrigerant contained in the circuit, that the temperature of the liquid at
the thermostatic valve inlet is between 5 and 10° C less than the condensation temperature read on the
pressure gauge scale and that the super-heating is between 5 and 8°C.
NOTE: During the refrigerant filling process, check the liquid sub-cooling value (from 5° to 10°C) on the liquid
indicator.
NOTICE
CHANGING PARAMETERS FROM SUPERVISION
Check the type of refrigerant used on the data plate and on the compressor data plate
Should you need to top up the oil, only use the oil types specified on page 41. Do not use
the compressor to create a vacuum in the system.
The table below indicates the refrigerant content for the basic version. These values are indicative and the
quantities may vary slightly as a consequence of the adjustments made during the factory testing phase. The
data specified below refer to the basic version of each unit; in this case also, the quantity may vary according to
the configuration of the unit itself.

NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
The compressor timings must be observed during the swap between the two power
supply lines.
NOTICE
HAZARD TO EQUIPMENT
Only use the selector switch for maintenance work. When completed, restore automatic
operation.
When the unit is equipped with a double power supply managed by an automatic switch-over driven switch, the
switch does not have external operation.
The compressor timings must be observed during the swap between the two electricity supply lines. In the
absence of voltage on line A (main electricity supply), line B (emergency line) must be kept active for at least 15
minutes before switching back to line A when the voltage returns. Prepare a dedicated device (under the
responsibility of the customer) at the place of installation.
Opening the front panel with the unit in operation causes a micro-switch to trip, which immediately stops the
unit. In this case, the switch-off timings by the control software will not be observed.
With the unit stopped and with the electrical panel door open, there is only voltage upstream of the
disconnecting switch. In the event of maintenance work, to have voltage throughout the electrical panel, you will
need to set the key operated selector switch to ON; depending on the model, this key-operated selector switch
may be installed on the left-hand post of the unit or underneath the electrical panel.
IMPORTANT: Once the maintenance work has been completed, restore automatic operation.
