1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Safety marks

The following safety marks are used in this Manual to draw the reader’s attention to all useful information
in order to avoid any dangerous situation which could be unsafe and harmful for people, could damage
equipment and environment besides breaking the unit.

It means operation not allowed as it could damage the unit.

It means an important information for the correct unit operation.

It means danger or risk to people, things or environment.

It means an electrical danger to people, things or environment.

1.2. Warranty
The Manufacturer warrants the unit according to what stated on his General Sales Conditions or
according to what else explicitly agreed.

The Manufacturer Warranty is void in case the guidance of this Manual has not been carefully
respected.

The Manufacturer refuses all responsiblity for any damage to people, animals, things or environment caused by
incorrect installation, maintenance or setting, that is to say caused by a misuse of the machine. It is considered
as “misuse” of the machine any use not explicitly allowed in this Manual.

1.3. Manual’s Readers

The Manual and all its annexes are supplied together with the unit they refer to.

The Manual must be kept in a proper place by the owner or by the person in charge of the unit control
(hereinafter: The Owner). To this end, a plastic bag where to store the Manual has been placed inside the
electrical panel so that it can be always easily accessible for consultation and at the same time, it can be
preserved properly.

All people in charge of operating on the unit and in particular, the technicians who must work on the cooling
system, must read all the information and instructions contained in this Manual.

(rev.3 05/19) CR / CRS / CRU - Power Line – Use and Maintenance Manual
The non respect of the instructions contained in the Manual during any operations of
installation, operation, maintenance, repair and dismantling of the unit can cause serious
damage to people, animals, things or environment.

In case the Manual is lost or deteriorated, a new copy must be requested directly to the Manufacturer.

1.4. Main safety rules

1.4.1. General warnings

Read carefully the whole handbook before performing any operation on the unit. Only
qualified and trained technicians must perform any operation on the unit.

Do not touch the machine if with barefeet or with humid or wet parts of the body.
Do not perform any cleaning operation before the power line is disconnected by
turning the main switch on “OFF” position and lock it.
Do not spread, leave unattended or to the reach of children any packaging material (carton
box, staples, plastic bags, etc) as they may be source of danger.

The condenser is dry air pressurised at the factory to prevent humidity from going in.

During the installation, before removing the caps on the connections, purge the dry air by means of the needle
valves on the inlet collector.

The condenser works in pressure: an eventual damage to connections or pipes can cause a
release of compressed gas .

The inlet pipe to the condenser can reach temperatures over 70°C a n d t h e r e f o r e , i t r e p r e s e n t s a
risk of burn.

THE CONDENSER MUST BE INSTALLED IN A POSITION NOT ACCESSIBLE TO

UNAUTHORISED PEOPLE: the heat exchanger fins can cut in case of accidental contact.

1.4.2. Allowed use

The condenser must be used only for the purpose it has beed designed for.

All different uses are not allowed and disclaim all manufacturer’s responsibility for damages caused to
environment, people, animals and properties.

CR / CRS / CRU - Power Line – Use and Maintenance Manual (rev.3 05/19)

1.4.3. Forbidden use

The condenser is in tension and contains rotating parts: before operating on any electrical part or on the fan/s,
open the main switch (bring it on “O” position) and lock it.

All service or maintenance operations must be carried out only by an expert and qualified personnel and with
the unit disconnected.

In case of fire, do not use water or any other conductive substances to extinguish the fire near the electrical
parts under tension. A warning showing this prohibition must be exposed in the installation place.

If the employed refrigerants come directly in contact with the flames, they decompound giving origin to acids
or other irritant substances. The acrid smell of these substances, in lower concentrations than the dangerous
values, warns that the area at risk must be evacuated.

Any operation on the unit must be carried out in compliance with the existing local regulations.

Make sure that the power supply corresponds to the one indicated in the identification tag.

1.5. Personnel’s requirements

All maintenance and repair operations which require the intervention of personnel having different specific
skills (like welders, electricians, programmers, etc.) must be carried out with the supervision of a personnel
expert in cooling systems.

The personnel working with refrigerant fluids must be properly trained to acquire the required skills related
to the security aspects for dealing with this kind of substances. Besides the topics indicated in the local
standards in force, training must also include the following topics:

• Knowledge of local legislation, norms and standards in force concerning the refrigerants;
• In-depth knowledge and suitable training concerning the use of refrigerants and of the necessary
individual protection equipment;
• Knowledge and training to prevent leaks, to use the cylinders for the charge, to detect leaks, to
recover and treat the refrigerants.

The personnel must be able to understand and put the applicable local standards into practice.

In order to maintain these skills, the personnel must be submitted regularly to a suitable training in
compliance with the local laws in force.

2. Description
Remote condensers with low rpm axial fans for external installation, completely assembled and tested at the
factory. The condensers can be installed either in vertical position (horizontal air flow) or in horizontal
position (vertical air flow) by using the appropriate feet, an optional on demand. The unit is equipped with
the condensing pressure control on each circuit. On 2-circuit units, the modulating fan speed regulator with
phase control is standard: in this case, priority is given to the circuit where pressure is higher.

2.6. Noise level

The unit does not require the presence of any technician as it is able to work automatically and autonomously.

3. Installation
The unit position must be chosen taking into account the local regulations in force.

3.1. Identification
The unit can be identified by means of an Identification Tag which is applied on the condenser.

The correct unit identification by means of the serial number is essential for the execution of
any operation to carry out on the unit. The serial number must be always advised whenever
submitting a request of technical service support to the Manufacturer.

3.2. Reception and inspection

It is very important to check the packing integrity immediately upon delivery through a visual inspection. In case
the packing is found damaged, it is necessary to accept the goods with reservations and to indicate on the
consignment note the condition of the received goods and let the driver countersign it for confirmation.

Any claim regarding the delivered material must be sent to the Manufacturer within 8 days from
the goods reception, by e-mail, fax or registered letter.

3.3. Handling
The handling of the unit must be carried out by expert personnel, equipped with appropriate equipment in
relation to the weight and dimensions of the unit.

It is advisable to remove the packaging only when the unit is finally installed, and possibly, only after the unit is
positioned on the place of its final installation.

Even if packed, it is forbidden to put the units one on another. If the unit is stocked after
reception, even if packed, it must be sheltered against bad weather.

The weight of some models might be unbalanced, therefore check the unit stability before
starting to handle it.

Lift the unit vertically, without jerks and at a suitable speed to the charge so as to not
jeopardize the structure integrity.

During the condenser installation and handling, wear the

appropriate protection gauntlets to avoid being wounded by the
cutting parts of the unit (like the fins).

Follow the instructions illustrated of Figure 3.1 to move the unit.

In case the fork lift is employed, the forks must be spaced out to the maximum allowed by the pallet size.

If the unit is lifted by means of a crane, it is important to avoid that cables and belts exert a too high tractive
effort on the unit that might cause damages or break.

Figure 3.1: Lifting Scheme

The lifting devices, such as cables and belts, used to handle the unit must be compliant
to the local regulations into force.

Before starting to handle the unit to place it, it is advisable to identify first the best way to arrive to its
final position, taking into consideration the dimensions and weight of the unit and its options, and the
available equipment.

3.4. Positioning
The unit installation is under the responsibility of the Owner who must supervise the execution operations. A
correct installation presupposes that a plan has been drawn up by an expert and that is carried out by skilled
and trained technicians who have all the necessary information.

The place where the unit is installed must be free of any aggressive substances or, in general, of
any incompatible substances to copper, carbon steel, aluminium and all the other materials used
to realise the unit. In case of any doubt, carry out specific chemical analysis and send the results
to the Manufacturer so as to find the necessary measures.

The unit installation must be carried out in compiance with the local regulations into force.

Before placing the unit, the following points must be checked:

• Enough room must be left around the unit to allow the routine and special maintenance as shown in
Figure 3.2;
• Connections for cooling, electrical, hydraulic circuits must be done.

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the unit characteristics described in
the documentation attached to the Manual correspond to those of the project.

The unit does not need any special foundation as it can be simply laid down on the surface.

* It is necessary to respect the distances shown in the picture also in case of lateral hydraulic connections or in
case option PR is installed.

Place the condenser outdoor avoiding the direct sun exposure. It can be installed:

• With horizontal air flow (standard version) f o r a b e t t e r p r o t e c t i o n ( f r o m s n o w o r

from objects coming from the sky) and an easier maintenance; in this
configuration, the condenser must be protected from the wind which
could interfere with the fan operation ;

• with vertical air flow; this configuration is suitable to be installed in windy areas or wherever the
horizontal air flow is obstructed. It can be realised by means of the optional kit of supports for
vertical air flow.

Given their small weight, condensers can be installed on supports of modest capacity. Place the condenser on
a firm and flat surface.

If necessary, use shims to adjust the level surface so as the slope is no more than 1 degree.

Fix the condenser by using the appropriate holes on the base brackets (horizontal air flow) or on the bottom
ends of the feet (vertical air flow).

3.5. Electric connections

Before proceeding with any operation on the electrical parts, make sure the unit is
disconnected and that main switch of the indoor unit (and of the condensing unit too, if
present) is open (in “O” position) and locked.

The wiring diagram for the unit power supply must be sized by a certified engineer and realised by an expert
personnel on behalf of the Owner and in compliance with the local regulations into force.

(rev.3 05/19) CR / CRS / CRU - Power Line – Use and Maintenance Manual
The thermal contactors are tripping elements depending on temperature which are installed in the motors
windings; they open an electrical contact when the temperature reaches a critical point.

Follow carefully the attached wiring diagrams to avoid any damage to the motor. Before using any speed
regulation systems, make sure they are compatible with the motor. Incompatible systems can cause noise and
damage. Emicon A. C. S.p.a. declines any responsibility on performances of units equipped with speed
regulation systems.

In case of IT electrical supplies, Emicon AC s.p.a. must give, prior assessment, the
authorisation to the electrical connection.

Only authorised and trained personnel can carry out any operation on the electrical wiring
in compliance with the existing local regulations.

Before working on the unit wiring circuit, it is necessary to check the wiring diagram
attached to this Manual.

Make sure that voltage and frequency are the same as stated on the unit indentification tag
and on the wiring diagram attached to this Manual.

The condenser works automatically and autonomously (depending on the refrigerant pressure) with the
power supply coming from the unit it is connected to.

Make sure that voltage and frequency correspond to the values indicated on the condenser identification tag.

Connect the power cable to the main switch introducing the cable in the box by means of a cable gland IP55
and tighten firmly the terminals screws.

3.6. Hydraulic connections

The condenser is dry air pressurised at the factory. To prevent humidity

from going in, pipes are closed with welded caps.

Before removing the caps on connections by un-welding them, discharge

the dry air by means of schrader valve (needle valve – see picture here
beside) which is placed on the inlet collector.

Respect the correct connection of the condenser

and avoid to invert the inlet with the outlet.

CR / CRS / CRU - Power Line – Use and Maintenance Manual (rev.3 05/19)

The piping path, preferably below 30 meters, must be realised by an expert cooling technician according to
the following instructions (see pictures here below).

• Realise straight lines as much as possible;

• The discharge pipe must be realised with a slope 1/100 in the flow direction to facilitate the oil
dragging;
• Realise a siphon at the base of the vertical section of the discharge line;
• Insulate the liquid pipe in case of sun exposure;
• Avoid any contact between the discharge pipe and the liquid pipe.

Then, carry out the vacuum and the charge of the cooling circuit.

N.B.: The liquid pipe must be protected by the solar radiation.

4. Regulation devices
The condenser is equipped with a condensing pressure regulator.

The regulation system depends on the fans total input current:

1. For a total input current ≤ 3 A;

2. For a total input current > 3 A (provided with display and main switch with padlock).
Both devices are modulating speed regulators with phase control.

The regulation device is pre-set at the factory.

To check the setting point, connect a full scale manometer of at least 45 bar to the pressure connection on the
inlet collector of the condenser and check the fan operation according to the pressure.

In case of setting point modification, carry out the following instructions and check again the setting point as
above explained.

Before proceeding with any operation on the electrical parts, make sure the unit is
disconnected and that main switch of the indoor unit (and of the condensing unit too, if
present) is open (in “O” position) and locked.

4.1. Regulator for input current ≤ 3 A

The fan is powered by a TRIAC based voltage regulator sensitive to the condensing pressure.

The output voltage from the controller, and therefore the fan speed, using the phase control principle, can
vary between a maximum of 95% and a minimum of 30% of the supply voltage depending on the condensing

pressure in an interval of 5 bar.

CR / CRS / CRU - Power Line – Use and Maintenance Manual (rev.3 05/19)

This regulation system is suitable to be used with outdoor temperatures not inferior to
-20°C and in not corrosive places.

The pressure setpoint, equivalent to the maximum output voltage, can be set on the
sensor element by means of the adjusting screw indicated in the picture here below.

4.2. Regulator for input current > 3 A

The speed controller operates on the condenser fans speed so as
to maintain the condensing pressure close to the desired value.

The output voltage varies according to the control signal, using

the phase control principle, and it increases/decreases when the
controlled parameter increases.

The speed regulator is composed of an electronic card, installed

inside a box having a protection rate of IP55, with the control
area on the upper part and the power area on the bottom part.
Furthermore, it is provided with a main switch with padlock.

The regulator is cooled by free convection, therefore the air must

be able to pass freely up and down the device. Keep, then, a free
space of at least 150 mm above and under the regulator.

The picture here aside shows the position of the main

components of the regulator control card. We describe here
below their meaning:

5. Operation
Before starting the unit, the personnel must be informed and trained through the Manual
about the unit construction, management, operation and maintenance, about the security
measures and the regulations to comply to, about the eventual individual protection
garments to wear.

5.1. Start-up
Power the main unit by closing the main switch (bringing it in “I” position).
The fan is activated automatically when the condensing pressure of the refrigerant delivered by the
compressor reaches the pressure regulator setpoint (pre-set at the factory).
Therefore, the condenser operation can only be checked after having started the compressor of the
cooling circuit it belongs to.

6. Maintenance
The Owner must make sure that the unit is submitted to an adequate maintenance as described in the Manual
and in compliance with the existing local regulations.

The unit maintenance must be carried out only by qualified and trained personnel, equipped
with individual protection devices as established by the existing local regulations.

In general, any person involved in the refrigerant handling must be equipped at least with protection
gauntlets and glasses.
When performing the unit maintenance, make sure about the following:

a) limit as much as possible the risk of accidents to people and of damages to things,
b) the system components are not damaged,
c) the system functionality and availabilty are not compromised,
d) reduce as much as possible the energy consumption,
e) detect and repair any eventual refrigerant leak.
During the maintenance operations, only the authorised and concerned personnel can stand close to the unit.

During the maintenance operations, all labels and warnings on the system and on its components must be
checked. All deteriorated and unreadable texts must be replaced.

Do not make modifications to the unit or replace its components without the prior Manufacturer’s

7. Dismantling
When the unit has to be dismantled, it is necessary to separate all its components and to ship them to a separate
waste collection area. This activity must be carried out by a specialised company in compliance with the existing
local regulations.

Before dismantling the unit, it is necessary to drain the cooling circuit and collect the refrigerant by means
of an appropriate receiver in compliance with the local existing regulations.

The operations of refrigerant recovery, re-usage, re-cycle, regeneration and diposal must be
carried out only by a trained, qualified and equipped personnel, in compliance with the
existing local regulations.

The refrigerant pressure present in the cooling circuit can be elevated, therefore discharge
it with caution.

A sudden release of refrigerant fluid can cause burns in case of contact, due to the low
temperature.

If the unit has worked with an antifreeze mixture, it is necessary to collect all the fluid
contained in the unit and deliver it to a specialised centre for waste disposal.

Do not release in the atmosphere the antifreeze mixture present in the unit.

Do not release the refrigerant in the environment.
