1.0 INTERFACE CONTROL MODULE
Clivet Code C5110910
The drawing on the left illustrates
the interface control module which
is the only part of the control sys-
tem visible to the final user.
This electronic module is provided
with a Liquid Crystal Display of 4
rows by 20 columns and is con-
nected to the local network of base
modules through a 6-way tele-
phone-type lead. The terminal is
supplied from the base module
through the same cable.
1.1 INTERFACE MODULE MAIN MASK
On the second line, next to GRD, a variable number (from 2 to 8) of square marks, indicates the available ca-
pacity steps installed in the unit. A full mark indicates an active step. On the contrary, an empty mark indicates an
inactive step.
Again in the second line, an intermittent AL symbol indicates an alarm condition in at least one of the modules
connected in the network. If no off-normal condition occurs, the AL symbol is invisible.
The evaporator water inlet/outlet temperatures are displayed in the third line. When the WRHH unit is switched to
the HEATING mode, these temperatures are referred to the condenser inlet/outlet.
In the 4th line, the on/off working status of the unit is displayed.
The fourth row displays also the module currently connected with the operator interface (next to MOD).
WARNING!: In multimodule units the temperature probes could be connected to different base modules. If that is
the case, in the main window, a single temperature value (referred to the probe physically connected to the se-
lected module) is displayed. In order to display the other value it is necessary (by pressing the INFO key) to jump
to the module which the probe is connected to.
WARNING!
All the operations (programming of the parameters, displaying of the statuses and of the operation hours) are to
be referred to the module which is indicated there.

13.0 INITIALISING THE CONTROL MODULES
At the first start-up of the control modules, the module addressing is the first operation to carry out.
NOTE: the unit leaves the factory with the electronic modules already configured.
Use the Dip-Switches to assign a physical address to the pCO modules and the interface terminals. Power the unit and
note that after a few seconds the terminal will read NO LINK, and the ENTER key will light up.
This is normal, as even though the address of the modules has been set on dip-switches, this still needs to be done by
software.
With the modules powered press the MENU, MAINTENANCE and PRINT keys at the same time, and hold them until the
display comes on (around 5 seconds).
The display now shows:
Terminal Adr: 5
I/O Board Adr: *
* this can be either 1 in case of master module or 2 (in case of slave module
The address of the Terminal (5) cannot be modified and must remain unchanged. On the contrary, the I/O Board ad-
dress must be adjusted with the UP/DOWN keys. The appropriate value corresponds to that of the module which is being
initialized (1 if only one module is installed)
Once the operation has been performed press ENTER.
WARNING! This screen will disappear automatically in 15 seconds since the last key is pressed. Once the ENTER key is
pressed, this message will appear in a few seconds:
Terminal Config.
Press ENTER

Trm3 None OK? Y
WARNING! The correct values are different from those shown in the screen. The correct ones are shown above. By
pressing ENTER, the blinking cursor will move to the different fields. Values can be modified with the arrow keys.
The UNIT INITIALIZATION operation is achieved as soon as the ENTER key is pressed in the last field. It is now possi-
ble to set the parameters.

25/80 Version October 2000 Pco Carel
14.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT'S OPERATING PARAMETERS
14.1 USER MENU (MEANING OF THE PARAMETERS)
WINTER TEMPERATURE SET POINT LIMIT
Sets the minimum and maximum limit for setting the Winter set-point
SUMMER TEMPERATURE SET POINT LIMIT
Sets the minimum and maximum limit for setting the Summer set-point
TEMPERATURE CONTROL BAND
Considering the temperature control dead zone set to zero, the following are valid:
Summer control band: Once the Summer set-point and summer control band values have been set, the thermoregula-
tor automatically defines the activation points of the various capacity control steps available. In this way, when the tem-
perature of BT1 rises above the temperature set by the Summer set-point parameter, the thermoregulator activates all
the capacity control steps so as to force the unit to decrease the temperature at the evaporator inlet.
Winter control band: Once the Winter set-point and winter control band values have been set the thermoregulator
automatically defines the activation points of the various capacity control steps available. In this way, when the tempera-
ture of BT1 falls below the temperature set by Winter set-point parameter, the thermoregulator activates all the capacity
control steps so as to force the unit to increase the temperature at the evaporator inlet.
Night-time control band: A contact can be used to enable two separate unit operating modes, that is day/night. In
night-time mode, a new Set-point and a new night-time control band are set. For this purpose, the electronic control has
been fitted with a clock card, which manages the change-over of the working set point of the refrigeration unit.
LOCAL MASTER OFFSET
Each Local master defines a unit, and can have up to three Slave modules connected and a local interface terminal. The
Local masters communicate with each other and can be connected to a single terminal, with address 01 (called the Gen-
eral Master), which can access each of the Master or Slave modules connected to the network. The General Master can
be used to set the local master n2 and local master N3 offset.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DEAD ZONE
Sets the temperature value over the set point that the unit must attend before activating the first power step. This is al-
ways set to zero.
PROBE USED FOR THE CONTROL:
Sets whether the temperature control probe used is at the evaporator inlet or outlet.
HEAT RECOVERY MANAGEMENT
Involves the heat recovery from the heat pumps only, and is managed directly by the pCO to allow the possibility of do-
mestic hot water production. The activation of the heat recovery feature is managed by the Set-point heat recovery and
working band parameters (user menu), enable/disable heat recovery (manufacturer menu, unit configuration sub-
menu).
ENABLE REMOTE ON/OFF
Enables or disables the digital input ID1 (J4-1) corresponding to the Remote on/off.
ENABLE REMOTE WINTER/SUMMER
Enables or disables the digital input ID5 (J4-5) corresponding to the remote summer/winter selection.
CONDENSER INLET WATER LOW TEMPERATURE THRESHOLD
Determines the temperature below which the compressors are capacity-controlled. Corresponds to the heat pumps.
EVAPORATOR INLET WATER HIGH TEMPERATURE THRESHOLD
Determines the temperature above which the compressors are capacity-controlled. Corresponds to the chillers.
EVAPORATOR OUTLET LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM FOR WRHH
Set-point: Represents the water temperature at the evaporator outlet below which the low temperature alarm is acti-
vated.
Time: Defines the time which elapses between the moment when the temperature of the probe rises above the Set-
point, and the moment when the alarm is automatically reset by the pCO.
ANTIFREEZE ALARM
Set-point: Represents the water temperature at the evaporator outlet below which the antifreeze alarm is activated.
Differential: Determines the activation differential for the antifreeze alarm; the alarm condition remains until the tem-
perature rises above the Set-point + Differential.
PCO USERS GUIDE
Pco Carel Version October 2000 26/80
ANTIFREEZE HEATER
Activation set-point: Determines the threshold below which the antifreeze heaters are on.
Differential: Represents the differential for the activation and deactivation of the antifreeze heaters.
PRESSURE CONTROLLED DEFROSTING
Start set-point: Sets the pressure below which the defrost cycle starts.
End set-point: Sets the pressure above which the defrost cycle ends.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED DEFROSTING
Start set-point: Sets the temperature below which the defrost cycle starts.
End set-point: Sets the temperature above which the defrost cycle ends.
TIMED DEFROSTING
Cumulative time: Sets the time during which the temperature/pressure must remain below the Start set-point threshold,
with the compressor on, before a defrost cycle is activated.
Maximum time: Represents the maximum duration of a defrost cycle.
MAX NUMBER OF LOW PRESSURE SWITCH ACTIVATIONS PER TIME
Determines the maximum number of times the low pressure switch can be activated over a set time, to bring about its
automatic reset, in the event of operating anomalies. Activations which are by-passed or occur during Pump-Down are
not counted.
UNIT ADDRESS FOR SUPERVISOR NETWORKS
Sets the address of the unit for serial connection to a supervisory or telemaintenance computer
COMPRESSOR ACTIVATION DELAY
Sets the time which elapses from when the electric pump starts on the evaporator, to when the first compressor starts
(once the relative time settings have been attended).
ELECTRIC PUMP SHUT-DOWN DELAY
Sets the time which elapses from when the unit is switched off (OFF), to when the electric pump on the evaporator shuts
down.
LOW PRESSURE ALARM DELAY
Sets a delay in recognising the low pressure alarm upon the start-up of the compressor, to allow the standard operating
conditions to be reached. This delay is also attended on reversal of the 4-way valve.
OIL DIFFERENTIAL ALARM ACQUISITION DELAY
Detection of the oil differential pressure alarm is active only when the compressor is on. The compressor must only shut-
down if the contact on the digital input corresponding to the oil differential pressure switch stays open for a cumulative
time greater than the value in seconds set by the parameter "Oil differential alarm acquisition delay". (function available
as from 17/09/99, EPROM 5200)
FLOW-SWITCH ALARM ACQUISITION DELAY
In operating conditions: Sets the delay in recognising the flow-switch alarm, to filter momentary variations in flow rate
or pockets of air present in the water circuit.
Upon start-up: To wait for the flow rate to reach standard conditions, sets a delay in recognising the flow-switch alarm
after the start-up of the water pump.
HIGH PRESSURE ALARM
Set-point: Corresponds to units fitted with pressure transducers. Represents the value of pressure above which the
"high pressure" alarm is activated
Differential: Defines how much the pressure must decrease from the Set-point for the high pressure alarm to be reset.
TYPE OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Determines the type of temperature control:
P = proportional
P+I = proportional + integral
PART-WINDING
Time: For motors with two windings, sets the delay which elapses between the activation of the first winding and the ac-
tivation of the second.
OUTSIDE TEMP. LIMIT FOR SUMMER COMPENSATION
Minimum: Determines the assumed minimum outside temperature in the location of the system during the summer sea-
son.
Maximum: Determines the assumed maximum outside temperature in the location of the system during the summer
season.
PCO USERS GUIDE
27/80 Version October 2000 Pco Carel
SET POINT LIMIT WITH SUMMER COMPENSATION
Minimum: Determines the value of temperature to set to the unit's Summer Set-point, corresponding to the maximum
outside summer temperature.
Maximum: Determines the value of temperature to set to the unit's Summer Set-point, corresponding to the
minimum outside summer temperature.
OUTSIDE TEMP. LIMIT FOR WINTER COMPENSATION
Minimum: Determines the assumed minimum outside temperature in the location of the system during the winter sea-
son.
Maximum: Determines the assumed maximum outside temperature in the location of the system during the winter sea-
son.
SET POINT LIMIT WITH WINTER COMPENSATION
Minimum: Determines the value of temperature to set to the unit's Winter Set-point, corresponding to the maximum out-
side winter temperature.
Maximum: Determines the value of temperature to set to the unit's Winter Set-point, corresponding to the minimum out-
side winter temperature.
FREECOOLING MANAGEMENT
Start Offset: Determines the value in C of the outside temperature read by the active probe B6 which must
be reached to enable Free-cooling. This value is calculated by adding the numeric value of this parameter
(Start Offset) to the cooling Set-point.
End Offset: Determines the value in C of the outside temperature read by the active probe B6 which must be reached
to disable Free-cooling. This value is calculated by adding the numeric value of this parameter (End Offset) to the cooling
Set-point.
Free-cooling Delta: When the conditions dictated by the above parameters are such as to allow Free-cooling
operation, it is essential to determine, starting from the cooling Set-point (Max Free-cooling) the T Delta in
which the signal at the output Y1 is controlled. In these conditions, the Free-cooling Delta represents the
temperature value (B1), which added to the value of the cooling Set-point, determines the minimum Free-
cooling point (Y1= 6.5V).
ENTHALPIC FREECOOLING MANAGEMENT
Enthalpic Free-cooling requires the presence of an ambient humidity probe, essential for optimising the conditions of
"ambient comfort" according to the temperature and the relative humidity of the outside air.
Relative humidity limit:
Sets the optimal value of the relative humidity of the outside air at the unit's temperature Set-point.
The regulator calculates, based on this parameter and the delta between the outside temperature and unit's Set-point,
the maximum outside rH% limit for disabling Free-cooling.
Relative humidity delta: After Free-cooling has been inhibited due to maximum rH%, it can be reactivated when the
Relative humidity falls below this value, in respect to the maximum calculated limit.
RESET SET POINT
Min curr.: In units configured for variation of the set-point according to the 4-20 mA signal, is the current (mA) corre-
sponding to the minimum variation of the unit set-point.
Max curr.: In units configured for variation of the set-point according to the 4-20 mA signal, is the current (mA) corre-
sponding to the maximum variation of the unit set-point.
Max Reset: In units configured for variation of the set-point according to the 4-20 mA signal, determines, starting from
the unit set-point, the variation (C) of the compensated Set-point, from the minimum Reset point to the maximum Reset
point.
CONDENSATION PUMP (WRH-WRHH)
Comp. ON delay: If the thermoregulator requests power, the condenser pump is activated, and after the time in seconds
set by parameter "Comp. ON delay", starts the compressor. (feature available as from 17/09/99, EPROM 5200)
Electric pump shut-down delay: If the last active compressor is shut-down, (following an alarm or because the thermo-
regulator is satisfied), and no capacity control steps are activated within the time set by the parameter "Electric pump
shut-down delay", the condenser pump is deactivated. (feature available as from 17/09/99, EPROM 5200)
SET NEW USER PASSWORD
Offers the operator the possibility to set a new password to access the user parameters.
PCO USERS GUIDE

15.0 MANUFACTURER MENU (MEANING OF THE PARAMETERS)
15.1 UNIT CONFIGURATION SUBMENU
CLOCK CARD
It is at times useful to be able to modify the units Set-point based on the thermal requests of the various devices con-
nected to the system, especially at night. This parameter enables or disables a clock card, which is physically mounted
on the main electronic control, and which manages the changes in the working point of the refrigeration unit.
PRINTER PRESENCE
Enables or disables the presence of a printer.
SUPERVISOR
Enables or disables the connection of a control supervisor to the unit.
CAPACITY CONTROL STEP LOGIC
This parameter allows the type of capacity control to be selected, DWM-COP or FEDDERS. Normally, DWM-COP is
used: digital output active, relay energised .
REVERSE CYCLE VALVE LOGIC
Normal: Relay energised for chiller, de-energised for heat pump.
Reverse: Relay de-energised for chiller, energised for heat pump.
DISABLE ROTATION
Disable rotation = YES First compressor 1 is started, then 2, 3 and so on. For shut-down, on the other hand, the last
on is shut-down first, then the second-to-last, until finally the first on is shut down.
Disable rotation = NO To ensure an equal distribution of the operating hours of the compressors, the thermoregulator
acts as follows:
Compressor start-up: Starts the compressor off the longest time first.
Compressor shut-down: Shuts-down the compressor on the longest first.
These conditions are valid only for the first stage of the compressors; the capacity control steps are excluded.
EXTERNAL HEAT RECOVERY
Enabling external heat recovery for the chiller units, the pCO control unit continues to function normally without being
aware of any variation in operation. An external contact, on the other hand, pilots the valves which, rather than make hot
air evaporate on the coils, allow the gas to be condensed in a tube bundle exchanger, which heats the domestic hot wa-
ter.
GLOBAL PARAMETERS
Type of unit: Allows the model of unit being configured to be set.
Compressors: Determines the number of compressors in the entire unit.
Number of modules: Determines the number of control modules in the entire unit.
LOCAL PARAMETERS
Number of compressors: Determines the number of compressors controlled by an individual module
Tandem Compressors: Selects or deselects tandem type compressors:
Setting YES activates the function of forcing the compressor, with Pump-Down managed separately.
Capacity control steps per compressor: Determines the number of capacity control steps per compressor.
NUMBER OF LOCAL MASTERS
Function linked to "Units connected in local network"
Sets the number of local masters. Each local master can have up to three Slave modules connected.
LOCAL MASTER means the master module of each individual unit connected.
HEAT RECOVERY
This parameter enables or disable heat recovery for heat pump units, and is managed, using the parameters Heat re-
covery activation set-point and working band (user menu), directly by the pCO control.
PCO USERS GUIDE
29/80 Version October 2000 Pco Carel
DAY/NIGHT CONTROL PRESENT
If a unit is fitted with two separate evaporators, there are two working Set-points, called the DAY Set-point and the
NIGHT Set-point. The two Set-points are selected using a digital input (ID1 on module 2). A contact connected to this
digital input controls the following:
- Contact open, DAY Set-point enabled.
- Contact closed, NIGHT Set-point enabled.
The change from NIGHT to DAY is immediate upon the opening of the contact, while from DAY to NIGHT operation, the
change occurs according to the presence or not of the clock card:
- No clock card present. Input ID1 (module 2) is connected to the contact of a device which activates/deactivates
night-time operation at a set time.
- Clock card present. Input ID1 (module 2) is permanently closed. The clock card activates and deactivates NIGHT
operation at a set time, according to the parameter night-time band (clock menu).
The day/night function can only be enabled if the IN/OUT evaporator 2 probes are configured on slave module 2.
CONFIGURATION Y1
Allows the configuration of analogue output Y1 to be changed from Standard (fan control) to Special (Free-cooling con-
trol).
FREECOOLING YES/NO
Enables Free-cooling management. This option is valid only for CRT and CRN units.
CRT HEATING YES/NO
Enables heat pump selection even if the unit is cooling only.
In heating mode, the compressors, the valves and the fans are DISABLED, and only output Y1 is active (if enabled as
SPECIAL).
B7 IN HUMIDITY YES/NO
The presence of the external humidity probe enables the enthalpic Free-cooling function.
ENABLE PROBES
Enables/disables the presence of the various probes BT1, BT2, BT3, BT4, BT5, BT6.
ENABLE PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS
Enables/disables the presence of the pressure transducers in circuit 1 and circuit 2.
Start scale:
Defines the pressure value which corresponds to a 4mA signal.
Full scale:
Defines the pressure value which corresponds to a 20mA signal.
ENABLE COMPENSATION
Enabling the set-point with compensation allows the controlled temperature of the water, or the air, to be adapted auto-
matically to the outside temperature measured by an active probe, or according to a 4-20 mA analogue signal.
Summer YES/NO: Enables compensation in cooling operation
Winter YES/NO: Enables compensation in heating operation
ENABLE COMPENSATION WITH
External probe: The internal pCO software contains all the configuration parameters required to set the Set-point varia-
tion curve according to the outside temperature. Furthermore, the function can be enabled by a digital input, which can in
turn be remote-controlled. Parameters can be set to enable compensation in heating and/or in cooling mode.
4-20 mA signal: Compensation is managed by an analogue signal, which is generated by an external device
installed by the customer. Three pCO configuration parameters allow a maximum offset value to be as-
signed, which is added to the Set-point, and the correct values of the input signal corresponding to maximum
and the minimum reset points to be determined. The parameters are common to both heating and cooling. In
this case too, compensation can be enabled for both heating and cooling or heating-only or cooling-only.

MINIMUM COMPRESSOR OFF TIME
Determines the time which the compressor must stay off after being shut-down, even if its restart is requested.
MINIMUM COMPRESSOR ON TIME
Determines the time which the compressor must stay off after being started, even if the effective request no longer ex-
ists.
TIME BETWEEN STARTS OF SAME COMPRESSOR
Sets the minimum time which must elapse between two successive starts of the same compressor, to limit the maximum
number of compressor start-hours.
TIME BETWEEN STARTS OF DIFFERENT COMPRESSORS
To reduce current absorption at start-up, sets a time which delays the start-up between different compressors.
CAPACITY CONTROL STEP START DELAY
Sets the start delay for the capacity control steps, from the moment when requested to the moment when activated.
COMPRESSOR DELAY FROM DAY/NIGHT CHANGE-OVER
When changing from day to night operation, the compressors are shut-down and enabled to start again after the delay
set by this parameter.
TYPE OF LOCAL DEFROST
Simultaneous: The first compressor to reach the defrost conditions also forces the defrost of the other compressor. This
occurs if the second compressor is not shut-down or the temperature on its coil is not greater than the SET STOP (tem-
perature). In this case, only the first compressor is defrosted. In the case where the second compressor is being con-
trolled by timer settings, its defrosting is delayed to when both compressors can be activated.
Non-simultaneous: The first compressor to reach the defrost conditions forces the other to operate in heating cycle at
full power (it is activated if shut-down or forced to full power if capacity-controlled). This occurs if the second compressor
is not shut-down. In this case, only the first compressor is defrosted.
In the case where the second compressor is being controlled by timer settings, its defrosting is delayed to when both
compressors can be activated.
TYPE OF GLOBAL DEFROST
This parameter allows simultaneous or non-simultaneous to be selected at a multi-module level for all the circuits in the
unit.
PCO USERS GUIDE
31/80 Version October 2000 Pco Carel
PUMP-DOWN ENABLE
Enables or disables the Pump-Down function upon start-up and shut-down of the compressor, in order to prevent me-
chanical malfunctions from incorrect unit operation (compression of the refrigerant to the liquid state).
Pump-Down upon compressor start-up:
As soon as the low pressure switch closes, the compressor starts, the maximum Pump-Down time is timer acti-
vated and the liquid solenoid valve closes.
As soon as the low pressure switch contact opens, the valve is re-opened (the solenoid valve is in any case ener-
gised if the time set by the above parameter elapses without the pressure switch opening the contact).
After this phase, the intervention of minimum pressure alarm is instantaneous.
Pump-Down upon compressor shut-down:
Upon request for compressor shut-down, the maximum Pump Down time timer is activated, and the liquid valve
closes. As soon as the low pressure switch opens the contact, the compressor is shut-down (the compressor is shut-
down in any case if the time set by the above parameter elapses without the pressure switch opening the contact).
For tandem type compressors, the pump-down function is managed in a specific manner:
- Pump-down is effected only upon the start-up of the first compressor of the tandem to start.
- Pump-down is effected only upon the shut-down of last compressor of the tandem to stop.
MAXIMUM PUMP-DOWN TIME
Sets the maximum time the thermoregulator counts before starting the unit, if this has not already been activated by the
trigger provided by the closing of the low pressure switch contact.
FORCE TANDEM COMPRESSORS
Enables the forcing of the compressors:
This special function relates to tandem compressors, and ensures that, in the case where the thermal request is such as
to require just one compressor, 30 min after the start-up of this compressor, the pCO electronic control forces the start-
up of the compressor which is off, for a time equal to the value set on the Forcing time screen.
FORCING TIME
Sets the maximum operating time of the compressor forced on by the pCO.
REQUEST MANUAL CAPACITY CONTROL STEP START
In order to test the correct operation of a unit, the pCO terminal can be used to request the manual starting of the capac-
ity control steps. For this purpose, the unit must be switched ON, with the compressors off and on call from the regulator.
Once this test procedure has been completed, the unit returns under the control of the thermoregulator and the request
manual capacity control steps is automatically disabled.

The necessity of defrost can be determined with two different ways, depending on the probes which are installed. The
standard mode unit resorts to a temperature probes only. The advanced mode resorts both to the temperature probes
and to pressure transducers.
16.1 TEMPERATURE DEFROST ONLY METHOD
As soon as the condenser coil temperature (measured with BT3 or BT4) falls below the SET START value (USERS
MENU) the defrosting cycle will start.
However, the cycle will actually start after a CUMULATIVE DELAY TIME (fixed in the USERS menu) which is controlled
by a TIMER.
The TIMER starts only if:
The compressor is running,
The temperature is equal or lower than the SET START value.
The TIMER will stop if:
The compressor is not running,
The temperature referred to the condenser coil is higher than the SET START value.
The TIMER is zeroed if:
The temperature referred to the coil rises over the SET END value.
As soon as the TIMER reaches the fixed CUMULATIVE DELAY TIME, the defrosting cycle will actually start. Conse-
quently:
the unit working cycle is reversed without stopping the compressor,
the compressor is switched to its full capacity,
the LP alarm bypass timer starts counting,
fans are stopped.
The defrosting cycle can stop because:
the SET END temperature is reached,
the defrosting max. time is reached (USERS MENU)
PCO USERS GUIDE
33/80 Version October 2000 Pco Carel
16.2 PRESSURE +TEMPERATURE DEFROSTING METHOD
The defrosting cycle starts as soon as the pressure (BP1 or BP3) falls under the SET START value (USERS MENU).
From this moment onward, a CUMULATIVE DELAY TIMER starts counting (USERS menu)
The TIMER starts only if:
The compressor is operating,
The pressure is equal or lower than the SET START value.
The TIMER will stop if:
The compressor is not running,
The pressure is higher than the SET START value.
The TIMER will reset if:
The pressure rises over the SET START + DIFFERENTIAL value.
As soon as the TIMER reaches the fixed CUMULATIVE DELAY TIME, the temperature (BT3 or BT4) is measured. If
this temperature is higher than the SET START temperature the defrosting cycle will pause. If the temperature is higher
than the SET END temperature the defrosting cycle timing will be canceled. If the temperature is the same or lower than
SET START, the actual defrosting cycle will start. Consequently:
The unit working cycle is reversed without stopping the compressor
The compressor is switched to its full capacity
The LP alarm bypass timer starts counting
Fans are stopped.
The defrosting cycle can stop because:
The SET END temperature is reached
The defrost max. time is reached (USERS MENU)
16.3 COMMON OR SINGLE DEFROSTING
Each base module can decide its own defrosting cycle. If each compressor has its own condenser coil the cycle will be
EXCLUSIVE, while, in case of one condenser coil for the two compressors, the cycle will be COMMON.
COMMON defrosting cycle:
The first compressor which reaches the defrost conditions compels the other compressor to defrost as well. This is valid
only if the second compressor is not in safety cut-out or if its coil temperature is higher than the SET END value. If that is
the case, the first compressor defrosts by itself.
If the second compressor is subject to a time setting process, the defrosting cycle is postponed until both compressors
can be activated.
EXCLUSIVE defrosting cycle:
The first compressor which reaches the defrosting conditions compels the other compressor to work to its full power in
the heating cycle (i.e. the second compressor is switched on or forced to its full power if it was working at a lower capac-
ity step). This is the case if the second compressor is not in safety cut-out. If that is the case, the first compressor de-
frosts by itself.
If the second compressor is subject to a timing process, the defrosting cycle is postponed until both compressors can be
activated.
In the same way, the defrosting cycle can be decided between exclusive or common in the unit (multimodular)
using the GLOBAL DEFROST parameter
NOTE: When the defrost is activated ( switched valve ), the low pressure alarm is bypassed for an interval of
time equal to the value set on the LOW PRESSURE ALARM BY PASS parameter of the USERS menu.
Each compressor has its own bypass time.

sor is operating at least.
The digital input ID6 (J3-1) will be used as RECOVERY ENABLE.
IMPORTANT
If the Phase monitor input (ID6) is kept OPEN, the unit will operate permanently as WATER CHILLER or
HEAT PUMP according to the choice made from the keypad or remote contact. The recovery thermo-
regulator is inhibited.
If the Phase monitor input (ID6) is kept CLOSED, the recovery function of the unit is enabled both in
HEAT and in COOL operation depending on the choice made with the keypad or by the remote contact.
17.1 UNIT SELECTED AS HEAT PUMP. HEAT RECOVERY ENABLED.
Both thermoregulators are continuously tested (recovery + winter control)
If both thermoregulators require unit operation, the unit is in HEAT PUMP operation and the current number of
activated capacity steps depends on the WINTER thermoregulator.
If the WINTER thermoregulator doesnt require unit operation while the RECOVERY one does, the unit is in
TOTAL RECOVERY operation and the current number of activated capacity steps depends on the recovery ther-
moregulator.
If the WINTER thermoregulator requires unit operation while the RECOVERY thermoregulator doesnt, the unit is
in HEAT PUMP operation. The current number of activated capacity steps depends on the WINTER thermoregu-
lator.
If both thermoregulators dont require unit operation the compressors are switched off.

18.0 HOW TO CONTROL A MULTI-UNIT LOCAL NETWORK (MASTER SLAVE
CONFIGURATION)
This configuration allows a group of units, everyone equipped with its own temperature probes at the inlet and outlet of
the shell-and tube exchanger, to work as if it were one single unit.
The physical connection between units is made up by a six-wires screened cable connecting all the control modules of
the units.
The group of units is constituted by:
- One GENERAL MASTER. It is the MASTER local module of the first unit of the group.The address of the
GENERAL MASTER, set in the clock-addressing card, must be set at the value 1.
- As many LOCAL MASTERS as the group units, up to a maximum of 3 (including the General Master).A variable
number of SLAVE module if presents.

18.1 GENERAL INDICATIONS FOR LOCAL NETWORK CONNECTIONS:
- In a local network the units must be of the same type, than must have the same number of compressors
and the same number of capacity steps.
- In the LOCAL MASTER modules, at the Modules Number parameter of the Manufacturer menu, the num-
ber of modules (Pco) managed by the single unit must be set. This parameter must be set to the value 1
in the SLAVE modules (if presents).
- The number of Local Masters must be set in Manufacturer menu, at the Local Master Number parameter
of the GENERAL MASTER module.
- In case of reversible units (WRN, WRAN) the management of the Summer/Winter operation has the fol-
lowing particularities:
a) Selection made by the interface terminal: The appropriate operation can be decided from any of
the terminals of the group. All the connected units will be automatically set to the selected opera-
tion.
b) Selection made by Heat/Cool remote terminals: Only the GENERAL MASTER module is enabled
to control the remote Heat/Cool inputs. The selection made by this input is valid for all the group
of connected units.
FUNCTIONS:
- The local network connection allows to control the group of units by one single Set Point.
- In the GENERAL MASTER module the regulation Set Point must be set.
- A regulation Set Point value must be set in LOCAL MASTERS.It must be equal to the GENERAL
MASTER one.
- Offset values (related to the Set Point) of the connected LOCAL MASTERS, they must be set in
GENERAL MASTER.
- The ON/OFF selection, the management of the external validation inputs and the evaporator inlet and
outlet temperature of the single unit are managed on each unit.
- There isnt an ON/OFF general function for the group.

19.0 DAY/NIGHT OPERATION (Starting from the 3.502 software version)
The unit is provided with two separate evaporators. These ones will not work simultaneously.
Each evaporator is provided with a water-inlet probe and an outlet one.
There are two Set Points named DAY Set Point and NIGHT Set Point. Every one of them is related to its own evaporator.
The choice between the two Set Points is made by a digital input ( ID1 of module 2 ).
If the clock card is installed, the NIGHT Set Point selection is possible only during the night time interval.
The antifreeze alarm activation is submitted to two separated Set Point parameters. One of them is for day-time opera-
tion and the other one for night-time. The DAY-TIME antifreezing Set Point is available on the MASTER control module
while the NIGHT-TIME one is available on the the SLAVE 2 module.
HARDWARE:
A digital input of the Pco Slave address 2 (ID1) enables the operation of the unit in Night-Time Set Point. By connecting a
selector, or another device provided with a voltage-free contact to the ID1 input, the following possibilities are available:
- Open contact, DAY-TIME Set Point operation
- Closed contact, NIGHT-TIME Set Point operation
When the contact switches off the NIGHT-TIME/DAY-TIME transition in operation is immediate (except for safety
timings).
If the clock card is installed the DAY/NIGHT transition is postponed until the night time zone. On the contrary, if the
clock card is not installed the transition is immediate ( except for safety timings ).
The following operation ways can be obtained:
1. Without clock card: there is a contact of a device, that activates and inhibits the NIGHT-TIME operation at certain
hours, connected to the ID1 input (module 2 ).
2. With clock card: the ID1 input (module 2) is permanently closed. The clock card activates and inhibits the NIGHT-
TIME operation at certain day-times according to what has been set in the CLOCK MENU at the NIGHT-TIME
INTERVAL parameter.
Two digital outputs of the Pco Slave permit to commutate the valves on the refrigerant side towards one of the evapora-
tors.
- NO12 closed e NO13 open = Day-time operation
- NO12 open e NO13 closed =Night-time operation
- NO12 closed e NO13 closed = NOT permitted
- NO12 open e NO13 open = Unit OFF
- Night-time operation
- Compressors by pass from switch on
- Activation time of Night-time Set Point
- Disactivation time of Night-time Set Point
PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS:
General rules:
If the Clock card is installed, the Night-time Set Point is enabled if the enable contact is closed ( Night-time zone ). With-
out the Clock card, the Night-time Set Point is enabled as soon as the enable contact is closed..
The change of state of the Night-time Set Point enable contact must remain stable at least for 10 seconds before starting
the commutation sequence.
At the moment of the Day-time/Night-time commutation:
1. The compressors are turned off
2. The NO12 outlet ( Slave address 2 ) is deactivated
3. The NO13 outlet ( Slave address 2 ) is activated
4. After the delay set by the compressors by pass switch on the compressors are enabled to restart, if requested.
At the moment of the Night-time/ Day-time commutation:
1. Compressors are turned off
2. The NO13 outlet ( Slave address 2 ) is deactivated
3. The NO12 outlet ( Slave address 2 ) is activated
4. After the delay dictated by the Compressors by pass switch on the compressors are enabled to restart, if re-
quested.
During the Night-time operation the capacity step functions must not be managed ( Except at the compressors start), if
these capacity step functions are set as present, in Night-time operation are declared absent by the system.
WARNING: If the PUMP DOWN is enabled, the parameter compressor switch on by pass must be set to a value at
least double than the Pump down maximum time parameter.

19.1 SETTING THE TIME BANDS
For example, assuming time bands with the following values:
TIME SETP RESULT
06:00 13C From 06:00 to 09:00 the set point = 13C
09:00 12C From 09:00 to 17:00 the set point = 12C
17:00 13C From 17:00 to 21:00 the set point = 13C
21:00 14C From 21:00 to 06:00 the set point = 14C
11
12
13
14
15
6.00 9.00 17.00 21.00
Four time bands can be set, and if one or more of these is not used, it is important to attribute them the same value as
the set-point of the previous time band. It is also possible to set timed or daily on and off times, for example:
on at 06:00 and off at 20:00
on Monday and off Saturday.

20.0 PUMP DOWN MANAGEMENT (Starting from the 3.502 software version)
In order to activate the pump down function, the following screen of the Manufacturer menu compressors submenu,
must be correctly set. NB: The value of the Maximum Pump-Down Time parameter depends on the compressor type
and/or the operation parameters of the unit: Call Clivet technical department for supplementary information.
Manufacturer menu
5 Pump Down Enable YES
Maximum Pump-Down Time Seconds
The pump down function is active both at the starting and at the stop of the compressor. The pump down control
is obtained with the same pressure switch controlling the low pressure.
Pump Down at the compressor starting :
- When the compressor start is requested, the Low Pressure alarm delay timer is activated by the thermoregula-
tor,
- the solenoid valve on the liquid line is activated, the system waits that the low pressure switch closes the contact.
(if a Low Pressure status persists over the time set on the Low Pressure alarm delay parameter the Low Pres-
sure alarm is tripped).
- As soon as the pressure switch contact closes, the compressor is started, the Pump-Down Maximum Time is acti-
vated and the valve on the liquid line is closed.
- As soon as the contact of the Low Pressure switch opens, the valve opens again. ( if more time than the value set
in Pump-Down Maximum Time parameter will pass unless that the pressure switch opens, the valve on the liq-
uid line corresponding to the compressor is in any case immediately energised ).
- After this stage the low pressure alarm is instantaneous.
Pump Down at the stop:
- When the compressor stop is requested, the Maximum Pump-Down Time timer starts its countdown and the
valve on the liquid line is closed. As soon as the pressure switch opens the contact, the compressor is turned off. (
if more time than the Pump-Down Maximum Time passes unless the pressure switch opens, the compressor is
in any case turned off.

22.0 SET-POINT COMPENSATION
This function is available starting from the version 50- of the software. There are two possibilities:
1) Set-point compensation according to the reading of an external temperature probe connected to the Pco.
2) Set-point compensation according to an analogue signal of 4/20mA.
In the first case, the microprocessor software is already prearranged with all configuration parameters needed to draw
the set-point variation diagram according to the outdoor temperature. Moreover, there is a digital input (which can be
connected to a remote controller) for enabling this function. There is the possibility to enable this compensation in cooling
and heating, or cooling only and heating only. As a matter of fact the parameters are duplicated in order to have separate
controls.
In the second case, the compensation is made on the basis of an analogue signal produced by an external generator to
be provided by the customer. There are three configuration parameters to assign the max. set-point offset, and the input
signal correct values to assign the minimum and maximum re-set. These parameters are common both to cooling and
heating operation. Besides, also in this case it is possible to enable or inhibit this function separately in cooling and in
heating.
22.1 SET-POINT COMPENSATION ACCORDING TO THE READING OF AN EXTERNAL
TEMPERATURE PROBE
The function CLIMATIC CONTROL allows the automatic temperature control of the handled media (water or air) accord-
ing to the outdoor temperature.
The user can therefore optimise the set point compensation diagram by modifying some special parameters.
22.1.1 CONFIGURATION OF THE OPERATING MODE
HEATING MODE
The following procedure represents the correct sequence to set the relevant parameters:
- What is the maximum winter supposed outdoor temperature in the installation zone? Enter this value as Maxi-
mum outdoor winter temperature
- What is the minimum winter supposed outdoor temperature in the installation zone? Enter this value as Minimum
outdoor winter temperature
- What is the required set-point when the outdoor temperature is at its maximum? Enter this value as Minimum off-
set winter set-point
- What is the required set-point when the outdoor temperature is at its minimum? Enter this value as Maximum off-
set winter set-point
In this way the thermoregulator will calculate the correct unit set-point according to the outdoor temperature.
The diagram below sums up the thermoregulator operation:

set-point, according to the actual operating mode. Similarly, it cannot be minor than Summer (or Winter) min. compen-
sated set-point, according to the actual operating mode.
IMPORTANT:
DURING THE PROGRAMMING, IF ONLY THE WINTER COMPENSATION IS REQUIRED, IT IS INDISPENSABLE ,
TO SET THE UNIT INTO HEATING MODE BY PRESSING THE RELEVANT KEY FOR FEW SECONDS UNTIL THE
HEATING LED IS LIT ON. THIS OPERATION MUST BE PERFORMED ONCE CARRIED OUT THE UNIT

22.2 SET-POINT COMPENSATION THROUGH A 4-20mA SIGNAL
The set-point reset function is made on the basis of an external signal (4-20mA) on the analogue input B8. The objective
is to adapt the handled media (air or water) set-point to the installation need through an external controller to be supplied
by the customer.
22.2.1.OPERATING MODE CONFIGURATION (HEATING AND/OR COOLING MODE)
1) The signal variation is directly proportional to the reset:
Lets suppose that the signal generated by the controller by the customer requires an increasing of the reset of
0,0C at 4,0mA and 10C at 20mA.
If the parameters have been set in the following way:
Unit summer set-point = 7C
Unit winter set-point = 40C,
by entering:
Set-point reset, min. corr. = 4mA
Set-point reset, max. corr. = 20mA
Set-point reset, max. reset = 10C
we will obtain the following diagrams:

23.0 FREE COOLING MANAGEMENT FOR CRT CRN UNITS
Starting from software version 50--, the management of the ROOF TOP air/air units has been added. These units, which
are
configured with the code CRT for cooling only, and CRN for heat pumps, as well as all the functions in common with the
air/water units, also have the following features:
1) Free-cooling management, both with or without rH% probe.
2) Possibility of ventilation only operation.
3) Possibility, for the CRT, to select heating mode; in this phase the compressors are disabled.
Furthermore, the analogue output Y1, if declared as special using the relative configuration parameter, is also active in
the air/water units, reserved for future use.

If the presence of the rH% probe is enabled, the start and maintenance of FREE COOLING depends, as well as on the
outside temperature value, also on the outside relative humidity value.
The system must calculate, based on the value set by the parameter Rel. humidity limit and the temperature difference
between the outside temperature and the Summer Set-point, the maximum value of outside rH% (Max rH%) which is ac-
ceptable to allow Free-cooling. If the value of outside rH% exceeds the calculated value, the Free-cooling function is dis-
abled and is re-enabled only when the outside rH% falls below a value equal to the Relative Humidity Delta

23.2 FAN-ONLY OPERATION
In this mode, the pCO activates the fan (digital output NO12), and keeps the compressors off.
To activate this function, the following is necessary
- Turn the unit OFF using the ON-OFF key
- Press together and hold for a number of seconds the HEAT and COOL keys
- Turn the unit ON again using the ON-OFF key
23.3 HEATING MANAGEMENT IN CRT COOLING-ONLY UNITS
This function is useful when the air/air cooling-only unit is fitted with electrical or hot water heating coils.
In this case, the unit must be able to be switched to HEATING mode; the pCO module controls the analogue output Y1,
depending on the Winter Set-point and inlet air temperature, leaving and the compressors off and disabled.
PARAMETERS:
Manufacturer menu:
Parameter Description min max default
Enable CRT heating Enables heat pump selection even if the unit

Pco Carel Version October 2000 64/80
28.0 SERIAL ADDRESSING CARD
Every module or terminal which is connected to the local network control system is identified with its own serial address.
In order to address the base modules, it is essential to mount a serial addressing card. Two versions are available:
a standard version (including what is necessary for the addressing only) Clivet code = C5110935
a second version including the standard version and the clock. This one is necessary to control the time bands
and the historical alarm record complete with date and time. Clivet code = C5110936
Both versions are equipped with 6 dip switches: They must be set in the following way, depending on the address of the
base module in the local network:
Table 1

29.0 T CONNECTION MODULE
In this case the local network uses a different type of module. The T connection module (figure above) allows a seroes of
base modules to be connected using the shielded cable.
Clivet Code: C5110940
29.1 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Screw terminal Telephone conn. pin Function
0 = Ground (shield of the shielded cable)
1 1 + VRL = 30Vdc
2 2 GND
3 3 Rx-/Tx-
4 4 Rx+/Tx+
5 5 GND
6 6 +VRL = 30Vdc
The pCO terminal is powered at around 30Vdc directly from the main board; when using the shunt special care must be
paid to the path of the 30Vdc, to avoid double power supply from reaching the terminal.
To do this, use jumpers J14 and J15 to interrupt the direct current power supply .
J14 and J15 in position 1-2: the three telephone connectors (A, B and C) and the screw connector (SC) are in parallel.
The power supply is thus available and present on all connectors.
J14 and J15 in position 2-3: the two telephone connectors (B and C) are again in parallel but line 1 and line 6 (thus, from
the table, the power) do not reach connector A and the screw connector (SC), which do not pass the 30Vdc to the con-
nected peripherals.
If power is required to all the connectors, both the jumpers must be placed between 1 and 2; if the two jumpers are posi-
tioned differently from each other, the shunt WILL NOT WORK.
NB: when using a shielded cable, the metal case of the shunt should be earthed,
preferably by fastening it directly to the frame of the unit.

32.0 PLAN NETWORK
As already mentioned, the pCO controls can be connected to the pLAN local network (pCO Local Area Network), thus
allowing the communication of data and information from one location (node) to another.
Each pCO can also be connected to the CAREL supervisory network, using the optional boards.
The pCO terminals can monitor the control variables (temperature, pressure, I/O, alarms) from one or more boards. In
the case where one or more terminals are disconnected or malfunctioning, the control program continues working cor-
rectly on each main pCO board.
In general, the application software monitors the status of the network and intervenes as a consequence to ensure conti-
nuity of control.
The figure shows the network connection diagram: at maximum 16 devices can be connected (I/O interface boards and
user interface boards).
NOTE: only boards with 8 analogue inputs can be connected to the pLAN local network
The application programs which use the local network functions must use an EPROM with dedicated software. Programs
written for different applications (standard chiller, standard air-conditioners, compressor packs,...) can not be automati-
cally integrated into a local network, but rather must be modified according to the strategy and structure of the network
and then recompiled using the easy-tools system.
All the devices connected to the pLAN network are identified by an address. If the same address is assigned to more
than one device the network will not work. As the terminals and the pCO I/O boards use the same type of addressing
system, terminals and pCO boards can not have the same identifier. The values used for the address range from 1 to 16,
both for the terminals and the I/O boards.
The addresses are set on the terminals using the dip-switch at the rear, while the base boards require the
optional network board.
PCO USERS GUIDE
Pco Carel Version October 2000 72/80
33.0 PRIVATE / SHARED TERMINALS
Each pCO board connected to the network can manage a series of terminals (max 3). The display is simultaneous
and not independent; it is like having the keypads and displays connected in parallel.
Each terminal associated to a specific board can be private or shared.
A terminal is private if it displays the output of one I/O board only.
A terminal is shared if, automatically or via the keypad, it can be switched between control boards.
Each pCO keeps the display of the private terminals constantly updated; on the other hand, if the terminal is shared,
it will be updated only if the pCO in question currently has control. The following diagram provides a logical view of
this concept:
In this example the terminal shared is associated to 4 I/O boards, yet, at this moment, only number 2 can display data
and receive commands from the keypad. The change-over between boards is cyclical (12341....), by press-
ing a key established by the application software.
The change-over can also occur automatically by direct request from the program. For example, an I/O board can
request control of the shared terminal to display alarms or, on the contrary, concede control to the next after a set
time (cyclical rotation).
The number and the type of terminals is determined during the initial configuration of the network. The relative
data are saved in the EEPROM memory of each individual I/O board.

The control module manages the safety time settings of the compressors and of the capacity steps according to the
usual modalities.
The request step inputs can be managed in two different ways according to the ROTATION ENABLE parameter.
With the ROTATION ENABLE parameter=YES, the request step inputs show only the number of capacity steps
Required. The control module automatically chooses automatically which compressor or capacity step activate according
to the rotations and the safety times.
When the ROTATION ENABLE=NO, The request step inputs automatically indicate to the control module which is the
compressor or capacity step where to operate. Safety times remain active, but possible rotations must be externally
managed.

EXAMPLES:
The customer requires 1 unit fitted with optional BMS connection.
In this case the PE560024 is sufficient.
Note: If the unit is multi-modular (more than 1 pCO module), with this configuration the customer can access only the
general unit data and not the data corresponding to the individual compressors.
The customer requires 1 unit fitted with optional BMS connection and needs all available information, also relating to
the individual compressors
In this case, the unit must be fitted with 1xPE560024 + 1xPE560026 for each slave module.
Note: Only if the unit is fitted with more than one pCO module.
The customer requires more than one unit with optional BMS connection.
In this case, the units must be fitted with 1xPE560024 for the first unit + 1xPE560026 for each added unit.
Note: If the units are made up of more than one pCO module, and the data for each individual compressor needs to be
accessed, the units must be fitted with a PE560026 for each pCO module plus a PE560024.
In the case of more than one unit to be connected or more than pCO module to be connected, as an alternative to the
PE560024, one PE560027, plus one PE560026 per pCO module, or unit, can be installed .
