Alarms
Alarms that can damage the unit or the plant require a manual reset that implies an action by the operator to reset the controller
(pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time). It is reccomended to carefully check the cause of the alarm and make sure
the problem is eliminated before restarting the unit. In any case the unit restarts only if the cause of the alarm has disappeared.
Less critical alarms are automatically reset. As soon as the cause of the alarm is eliminated the unit starts working again and the
alarm code disappears from the display. Some of these alarms require a manual reset if the number of events per hour exceeds a
fixed limit.
Pressing any button it's possible to deactivate the alarm : alarm report disappears from the display, the alarm LED starts flashing
and the Alarm digital output is disabled. The deactivation of the alarm does not affect the alarm in progress.
Esempio. If the fixed limit of events per hour is 3, in order to change from automatic to manual reset, tha alarm has to remain active
for a period of time between 2*112 seconds and 3*112 seconds.

Serial communication
The unit can communicate on a serial line using the Modbus communication protocol with RTU coding.
The unit can be connected to an RS485 network by means of the serial interface supplied as an accessory, and reply to the requests
of any master device connected to the network.
Device address
To communicate properly, each device connected to the serial network must have an univocal address (“Modbus individual address”)
contained between 1 and 247. This address can be set by modifying the parameter CF63.
Modbus commands
The Modbus commands implemented by the controller are :
• parameter reading 3 (Hex 03 : Read Holding Registers)
• parameter writing 16 (Hex 10 : Write Multiple Registers)
Addresses table
All the available resources are stored in the controller as WORD (2 byte) and therefore require the reading or writing of an entire
Modbus register. According to the Modbus protocol, to identify a register of address X the address X-1 must appear in the message.
Some registers contain more than one piece of information : in this case the bits representing the resource value are identified by
means of the number of bits used (“Bit number”) and by the least significant bit (“Lsb”). In the writing operation for these registers it
is necessary to read the current register value, modify the bits representing the resource concerned and rewrite the entire register.
Example.
Bit number = 4 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Lsb = 7 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0
Resource value = 3
The resources can be only read (R), only written (W) or read and written (RW).
To interpret the value written in the register it is necessary to consider the value of CPL, EXP and UM :
CPL : if the register represents a number with sign (CPL = Y) carry out the following conversion :
EXP : indicates the exponent of the power of 10 to be multiplied by the register value to obtain the resource value.
EXP Moltiplicatore
-2 10-2 0,01
-1 10-1 0,1
0 100 1
1 101 10
2 102 100

the warranty will be invalidated.

Visually check that the hydraulic plant is leaks free and is pressurized. Verify there is no air in the circuit (acting on the air vents).
Verify that the filters in the plant are clean.
Electrical plant
Verify that the power supply cable that connects the unit to the distribution panel is not affected by cuts, cracks or alterations that could
compromise the insulation. Contact an authorized service center if maintenance is required. After a first period of time from the first
start up and at every stop or seasonal start up carefully check that each electrical connection is well fixed.
Fans
Verify that the fans are well fixed to the protective grilles and to the structure of the unit. Check any unbalance of the fans pointed out
by anomalous vibrations and noise.
Finned coil
Accidental contact with the exchanger fins can cause small cuts. Use protective gloves to carry out the operations described below.
The exchangers must be able to ensure the maximum heat exchange, therefore their surfaces must always be clear of any dirt and
dust that can present on them due to the action of the fans. Using a brush, remove all the impurities present on the surface of the
coil. Clean the aluminium surface of the coil with a compressed air jet, making sure to aim the jet with the direction of the fins so as to
avoid damages. If the aluminium fins has been damaged, “comb” the coil with a special tool until the damage is completely eliminated.
