This unit has been subjected to risk analysis under EC Directive 98/37/EEC (89/392/EEC). The technical solutions
implemented during the design phase are described in the units technical documentation.
This unit is built to perform the functions for which it was designed without risk as long as the installation,
operation and maintenance of the unit are all carried out according to the instructions in this manual and
on the labels on the unit. There are however some residual risks, particularly regarding maintenance.
The risks which are particularly important for the safety of the user are marked with the danger symbol:
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
This unit contains refrigerant gas circuits under pressure, live electrical components, hot surfaces, sharp edges
(such as the coil) and rotating devices such as the fans. Before accessing the inside of the unit, disconnect it
from the electrical power supply.
All service and maintenance operations must be performed when the unit is off and must be done by
qualified and experienced personnel who are aware of the necessary precautions.
In any case, all safety legislation of the installation location must be followed.
In the event of fire, water and other conductive substances must not be used to put out the fire near live electrical
components. This warning must be displayed on notices in the unit installation location.
If the refrigerants used come into contact with fire they decompose, forming acids and other irritants. The smell of
these substances, even at concentrations below danger levels, gives enough warning to allow evacuation of the
area at risk.
Make sure that the power supply voltage corresponds to the value shown on the data plate.

MDT: AIRCOOLED TWIN-COOL UNITS
MDT TWIN-COOL units include two independent cooling systems:
- direct expansion with air-cooled condensers;
- chilled water.
The unit is connected to the remote condensers with refrigerant tubes and to the chilled water piping system.
The microprocessor automatically maintains room temperature by controlling:
- switch over between the two cooling systems;
- compressor operation during direct expansion function when the chilled water supply is unavailable;
- the modulating motorised valve during chilled water function.
For further details please refer to the microprocessor manual.
MDD: WATERCOOLED TWIN-COOL UNITS
MDD Twin-Cool units have 2 independent cooling systems:
- direct expansion with water-cooled condensers;
- chilled water.
The unit is connected to the condenser cooling water supply as well as to the chilled water piping system. The
microprocessor automatically maintains room temperature by controlling:
- switch over between the two cooling systems;
- compressor operation during direct expansion function, when chilled water supply is unavailable;
- the modulating motorised valve during chilled water function.
For further details please refer to the microprocessor manual.
MDE/BDE: ENERGY-SAVING UNITS
ENERGYSAVING units include two independent cooling systems:
- direct expansion with water-cooled condensers supplied with water pumped in closed circuit and cooled by
external radiators;
- chilled water coil (economiser), connected in to the closed circuit glycol loop between the condensers and the
external radiators.
Whenever the outside temperature falls below the room temperature, the ENERGYSAVING unit starts to take
advantage of the free cooling effect i.e.: cooling without the need to operate compressors.
During warm weather the unit operates like a conventional glycolcooled system (diagram A) with the 3way valve
bypassing the economiser coil. In cooler weather or at night when the outside temperature drops and the
water/glycol mixture leaving the radiator becomes colder than the room, the economiser coil is fed via the 3way
valve to provide a freecooling effect and reduce the amount of direct expansion cooling required (diagram B).
When the outside temperature falls further there comes a point at which the free-cooling effect provided by the
economiser is sufficient to meet the entire heat load and no direct expansion cooling is required at all.
In this mode an ENERGY-SAVING unit operates like a chilled water unit with the 3way valve controlling the flow
through the economiser coil (diagram C).
The microprocessor provides fully automatic control of the unit (for further details please refer to the mP20
microprocessor manual).

POSITIONING THE UNIT
The unit can be placed directly on the floor. If possible it should be fixed to the floor with the brackets used to hold
the unit to the transport pallet.
The unit must be perfectly level with a maximum difference of 5 mm between sides: an inclination could cause the
condensate tray to overflow.
IMPORTANT: the unit must be installed in a closed environment and protected from adverse conditions.
Fit an elastic gasket around the base of the unit to avoid the transmission of noise and vibrations.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING FRAME (optional)
A support frame is recommended:
- to enable installation of the unit before the raised floor is installed;
- to absorb mechanical vibrations;
- to facilitate the connection of pipes and cables.
The height of the optional mounting frame is variable between 200 and 600mm (shown as X in Fig. 8.); other
heights are available on request.
To avoid the transmission of vibrations, fit an elastic seal at least 5mm thick between the support frame and the
floor panels; the frame must also be isolated from the floor structure.

WORKING SPACE MD*0651-1302
To facilitate maintenance, leave at least 700mm free space in front of the unit as shown in the diagram (fig. 6. -
point D). Side access may be necessary in the unlikely event of coil replacement.
WORKING SPACE BDE 2002-2402
To facilitate maintenance, leave at least 700mm free space in front of the unit as shown in the diagram (fig. 7. -
point D). With BDE 2002-2402 units 1 metre free space must also be left clear to the right of the unit (fig. 7. - E) in
order to allow access to the compressors for refrigerant charging and other maintenance operations and 700 mm
free space must also be left clear to the left of the unit (fig. 7. - F1) in order to allow access to water connections.
Side access from the left side may be also necessary in the unlikely event of coil replacement; leave around 2.5
metre free space for this purpose (fig. 8. - F2).
AIR DISTRIBUTION
Treated air is delivered into the raised floor cavity and distributed through it into the room. Since the cooling capacity
of the unit depends on the air flow, pay particular attention to:
a) the hole in the raised floor under the unit; this must have the dimensions labelled G and H and the unit must
be positioned exactly over the centre. The gap must not be even partially obstructed be sections of panels,
stringers, pipes; fit an elastic gasket around the base of the unit to avoid the transmission of noise and
vibrations.

b) free air flow in the raised floor cavity; the cavity under the raised floor must be at least 200-250 mm high, not
including the thickness of raised floor panels and stringers and free from obstructions, especially near the unit;
c) grilles and holes for air distribution in the room; the air comes out of grilles or holes in the floor; the location
and dimensions of these vents must correspond to the room heat load pattern.
The air velocity out of the raised floor should be between 1 and 2.5 m/s
The total free area (the sum of the sections of the air outlets) necessary for each model is calculated by dividing the
total air flow rate (in m
3
/s) by the required airflow velocity (in m/s).
The nominal airflow for each model is given in the technical data section of this manual. The location and
dimensions of the outlets must correspond to the room heat load pattern and to the layout of the units.
IMPORTANT: An insufficient outlet area reduces the airflow and the cooling capacity of the units: keep the
air outlet completely clear.

WATER CONNECTIONS (MDT)
Check chilled water pipe size and pump characteristics: insufficient water flow affects unit performance.
Connect the unit to the piping system making sure that chilled water flows into the unit through the lower connection
and comes out from side connection; seal the holes where the pipes pass through the base of the unit in order to
avoid bypass of air.
For all hydraulic connections (except the condensate drain) use:
flexible pipes to avoid the transmission of vibrations and to enable the unit to be moved;
3 piece junctions, near the connections to enable the unit to be removed if necessary;
shut-off valves to isolate the unit from the water circuit: if possible use full flow sphere valves to minimise
pressure drop.
Insulate all the chilled water pipes with closed cell insulating material (e.g. Armaflex or equivalent) to avoid
condensation; insulation must allow access to valves and joints.
Install a mechanical filter in the section of tubing near the intake of the unit to prevent the fouling of the
heat exchanger with pieces of welding or flakes of oxidised metal from the water mains.

WATER CONNECTIONS (MDD-MDE/BDE)
WATER CONNECTIONS - MDD
Check chilled water pipe size and pump characteristics: insufficient water flow affects unit performance.
Connect the unit to the piping system making sure that chilled water flows into the unit through the lower connection
and comes out from side connection; seal the holes where the pipes pass through the base of the unit in order to
avoid bypass of air.
For all hydraulic connections (except the condensate drain) use:
flexible pipes to avoid the transmission of vibrations and to enable the unit to be moved;
3 piece junctions, near the connections to enable the unit to be removed if necessary;
shut-off valves to isolate the unit from the water circuit: if possible use full flow sphere valves to minimise
pressure drop.
Insulate all the chilled water pipes with closed cell insulating material (e.g. Armaflex or equivalent) to avoid
condensation; insulation must allow access to valves and joints.
Install a mechanical filter in the section of tubing near the intake of the unit to prevent the fouling of the
heat exchanger with pieces of welding or flakes of oxidised metal from the water mains.

The water-cooled condenser must be connected to the cooling water piping system, making sure that water flows
into the condenser through the lower connection
I
and leaves through the upper connection
U
.
Use:
- flexible hoses to avoid transmission of vibrations;
- 3 piece unions, close to the connections, to permit possible removal of the unit;
- shut-off valves to isolate the unit from the water circuit: if possible use full flow ball valves to minimise the water
pressure drop.
If the water temperature may drop below the dew point of the treated air, insulate the water pipes with closed cell insulating
material (e.g. Armaflex or equivalent) to avoid condensation; insulation must allow access to valves and joints.
Seal the holes where the pipes pass through the base of the unit in order to avoid by-pass of air.
N.B.: cooling water pressure should not exceed 1000 kPa (10 bar).
If the cooling water temperature is uncontrolled and may drop below 25C, the use of a pressure operated water
regulating valve (available as an optional extra) for each condenser is required; in this case the water pressure
should not fall below 200 kPa (2 bar).
IMPORTANT: the use of an evaporating cooling tower without efficient water treatment is not recommended since
scale build-up could rapidly clog the condensers.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Correct and accurate electrical connections, carried out in compliance with local
regulations, are extremely important for the prevention of accidents and for ensuring
long, trouble-free operation.
ACCESS TO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL
Before working on the electrical parts of the unit, make sure that there is no power supply to the unit and that the
switch on the electrical panel is off (in the O position);
The power section of the electrical panel is protected by a plastic cover; to remove this cover, turn off the main
switch to release the lock and then undo the four screws.
CONNECTION TO THE MAINS - CABLE SECTIONS - FUSES
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the nominal data of the unit (voltage, phases, frequency) shown on the
electrical panel.
Power supply voltage must be within 6% of the nominal value. In tri-phase units the difference between the phases
must be less than 2%: unit operation with power supplies outside these limits may invalidate the guarantee.
Pass the electrical supply cable through the hole in the bottom of the unit. The cable can also be passed through
the sides or back of the base frame after opening the pre-cut holes.
See also the table Recommended cable sections and line fuses .
Take the cable up to terminal box
A
(fig.18.) containing the terminals of the 3 phase wires and of the yellow-green
earth wire (detail
B
).
Fix the ends of the power supply cable to the top terminals of the general switch in the electrical panel and tighten
the screws.
N.B. in MD*0651 and BDE units the neutral wire must also be connected (detail

START-UP AND TESTING
EVACUATION OF REFRIGERANT LINES AND REFRIGERANT
CHARGING (MDT)
The unit is supplied pre-charged with refrigerant R22 or R407C.
Check the type of refrigerant to use on the unit data plate and on the compressor.
Create a vacuum in the refrigerant lines and the remote condenser; maintain pressure below 100 Pa
absolute (0,7 mmHg) for several hours (preferably overnight) in order to evacuate air and any moisture
traces.
Start the compressor and then slowly charge the system with refrigerant through the special valve
downstream of the thermostatic valve. Charge the system until the pressure in the lines is stable and the
bubbles in the sight glass have disappeared.
The charging must be done under normal room conditions and with an output pressure of around 18 bar
(equivalent to a saturation temperature of 48C in the case of R22); If the unit has on-off condensation
control, make sure that the condenser fan does not keep switching on and off, if necessary by partially
obstructing the intake area.
Check that the subcooling of the liquid at the thermostatic valve intake is between 3 and 5C less than the
condensation temperature reading on the manometer scale and that the superheating of the vapour at the
evaporator output is between 5 and 8C.
The dilution ratio of the system is around 5% by weight of oil to refrigerant. In the event that it is necessary
to top up the oil use only these types:

FUNCTION AND REGULATION
WATER-COOLED UNITS (MDD)
OPEN WATER CIRCUIT
If the cooling water temperature is not controlled and may go below 28C, a pressostatic valve must be
fitted for each condenser; in this case the supply pressure must not go above 200 kPa (2 bar).
IMPORTANT: do not use water cooled by an evaporating tower since the condensers would quickly
become blocked with scale.
CLOSED WATER CIRCUIT
The condensers are supplied with water in a closed circuit cooled by external radiators; check that the
section of the piping and the performance of the pump are sufficient. An inadequate water flow reduces the
performance of the air conditioning unit.
The cooling water temperature must be controlled so that it does not go below 28C (fig. 22).
The microprocessor control system performs this function; it measures the water temperature with optional
sensor
A
, adjusting the fans
C
of the external radiators (see mP20 instruction manual - analogue output
"Y1").
If the temperature of the cooling water is not controlled, a constant water flow condensation pressure
regulation system must be used (available as an option) on each cooling circuit.
IMPORTANT: the cooling water must contain a percentage of ethylene glycol (of the passive, non-
corrosive type) in proportion to the likely minimum outdoor temperature.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND CONTROL OF REMOTE RADIATORS
(MDE/BDE)
The room units need to be wired to the radiators only for transmitting the signal required to control the
radiator operation, as described hereafter.
The remote radiators - electrically supplied from the nearest power point, independently from the room unit
- must be provided with a fan contactor whose coil shall be energised with a 24 V AC signal to start the
fans.
In MDE units the microprocessor measures and compares the return air temperature and the outdoor
temperature and, when feasible, switches from the mechanical cooling mode to the energy-saving mode.
The microprocessor measures also the coolant temperature and, when this is lower than the return air
temperature, opens the 3-way valve to feed the free cooling coil (analogue output Y0).
The water/glycol coolant temperature is kept at two different levels:
- at approx. 28-34C, to be set according to the design conditions, during the warm weather mode
(operation with mechanical cooling only);
- between 8 and 10C during the energy-saving mode (free-cooling operation).
The microprocessor has the capability of controlling the coolant temperature (with the NO contact 13
placed in the interface card: refer to the mP10/mP20 microprocessor manual) according to one of the
following systems.
WATER CIRCUIT WITH ONLY ONE ROOM UNIT (see fig. 23.a.)
The ENERGY-SAVING unit measures with its own sensor the coolant temperature and controls it by
energising the contactor of the radiator (max 2 pieces) through the contact 13 of the interface card.
The radiator can be alternatively of the type:
- without thermostatic control. The microprocessor of the room unit controls at any time the coolant
temperature providing an on-off signal to start the radiator fan(s)
- with thermostatic fan speed control by regulating fan speed.
During the mechanical cooling mode the radiator controls the coolant temperature with its built-in
thermostatic fan speed control.
During the Energy-Saving cycle the microprocessor controls the coolant temperature providing an on-off
signal to start the radiator fan(s).
WATER CIRCUIT WITH MULTIPLE ROOM UNITS AND RADIATORS IN PARALLEL (see fig. 23.b.)
In multiple installations, with several room units (each one capable of fully independent operation) and
several radiators connected in parallel in the same water circuit, the control system is more flexible.
The coolant temperature is controlled by the RADIATOR MANAGER (RM in fig. 23.b.), a separate
electrical panel with an independent multi-step solid state temperature controller with two different and
individually programmable set points (Summer & Energy-Saving).
The RADIATOR MANAGER (available in 4-step and 8-step version) is connected with a double wire:
- to each MDE room unit which, by closing the contact 13 of its interface card, has the capability to switch
the operation from the mechanical cooling mode to the energy-saving mode;
- to the contactor coil of each radiator to start and stop its fans.
In this case too, the radiators can be either:
- without thermostatic control: The RADIATOR MANAGER keeps the coolant temperature at the set
value by controlling the number of operating radiators;
- with thermostatic fan speed control: During mechanical cooling, each radiator controls coolant
temperature with its own fan speed control.
During the Energy-Saving cycle The RADIATOR MANAGER keeps the coolant temperature at the set
value with the step control of the number of operating radiators
N.B.: The mP10/mP20 microprocessor provides a 0-10V DC modulating signal to control radiator fans via
specific fan speed control (analogue output Y1); further information is available on request.

REGULATION OF CONDENSATION PRESSURE
(Remote air-cooled condenser)
Unit condensation temperature must be between:
- minimum 40C (for correct thermostatic expansion valve function and to avoid freezing of the coil in partial
operation)
- maximum 63C.
For this purpose there are condensation pressure regulation devices which should be set as follows.
Condensation pressure is controlled by regulation of the condenser fan by one of these options which must be
chosen when the REMOTE CONDENSER is ordered (see CAL Instruction Manual):
1) pressostat PV which measures condensation pressure and activates the fan of the air-cooled condenser;
2) regulator RV which modulates the speed of the fan as a function of condensation pressure.
The table below shows the settings of the two systems.
Description Intervention Differential Re-set
PV standard Fan Pressostat 18 bar (closing) 4 bar 14 bar
RV optional Speed regulator 20 bar (maximum speed) 4 bar 16 bar (minimum speed)
When setting the pressostat or the regulator, check the condensation pressure with a manometer connected to the
pressure connector of the gas output valve.
SETTING THE PRESSOSTATIC VALVE
(Optional - water cooled models only)
The pressostatic valve controls the water flow to prevent condensation pressure from falling too low and to reduce
water consumption.
Set the pressostatic valve with the regulation knob (clockwise to increase the pressure) until the pressure is stable
at the recommended value of 17 bar (equivalent to a saturation temperature of around 45C in the case of R22).
Check the pressure with a manometer on the pressure connector of the output valve.

SETTING THE REGULATION AND SAFETY DEVICES
After starting the unit, make the following settings:
- Room temperature: see control manual;
- Room relative humidity (D and H versions): see control manual;
- Fan speed: see section on Fan Speed Regulation;
- Dirty filter differential pressostat: see section on setting the dirty filter sensor.
Check that safety devices are set at the values shown in the table below.
The regulation and safety devices are set in the factory as shown in the table below and must not be changed
without good reason.

SETTING THE AIRFLOW SENSOR
The FS differential pressostat should intervene if the fan is not working (if the unit has one fan only) or if one of the
fans is not working (in the case of multiple fans).
The setting of the airflow differential pressostat is 1.0 mbar (100 Pa). Since the difference in pressure between the
fan intake and delivery depends on the airflow, it is necessary to set the pressostat after installation, making sure
that the contact closes when the fan is in normal operation. To set the pressostat:
set the fan speed regulator at the required value (see Fan Speed Regulation);
simulate a fan fault (stop the fan, or one of the fans if multiple); check that the pressostat intervenes
if the pressostat does not intervene, gradually lower the setting until it does
The FS differential pressostat can be set on a scale from 0.5 to 5.0 mbar (from 50 to 500 Pa).
SETTING THE DIRTY FILTER SENSOR
(Optional)
The PFS pressostat must be set as a function of the pressure drop; this depends not only on how dirty the filter is
but also on the airflow and therefore on the setting of the fan speed regulator. The setting must be done when the
filter is clean:
- set the fan speed regulator at the desired value (see Fan Speed Regulation);
- set the pressostat intervention at 1.5 mbar;
- gradually cover the surface of the air filter and check that the pressostat intervenes when the filter is about 50-
60% covered;
- if the pressostat does not intervene, gradually lower its setting; if it cuts in too soon, increase the setting.

VALVE AND SERVOMOTOR
The instructions for the valve and servomotor are on the enclosed sheet included with the unit.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power supply before working on the servomotor.
With 24V AC power supply the servomotor moves in proportion to the control signal which varies between 0 and
10V DC.
The servomotor automatically stops:
at the end of its travel;
in the position corresponding to the control signal;
in the position in which it is situated whenever power is disconnected.
OPERATION OF SERVOMOTOR MVB
If there is a problem with the servomotor or thecontrol system, the valve can be moved manually by turning control
knob A (fig. 25.).
If necessary:
1. Pull control knob A out
2. Turn the knob clockwise to lower the valve stem, anti-clockwise to raise it.

MAINTENANCE
REGULAR CHECKS
The following maintenance operations should be done regularly:
WEEKLY:
- check that room conditions on the control panel display are normal;
- check the refrigerant charge; the sight glass should be clear (however the presence of a few bubbles is normal);
- check normal temperature and noise levels of compressor and fans;
- check the air filters; clean or change the filters when the dirty filter alarm comes on;
- check that power supply voltage is within design limits;
MONTHLY:
- check normal condensation and evaporation pressures;
- check the cylinder and the feed and drain valves of the humidifier: replace the cylinder when the specific alarm
comes on (see microprocessor instruction manual);
- check the flow of condensate to the drain;
- check remote condensers or external radiators: remove all foreign objects (leaves, seeds, dust, etc.) with a jet of
compressed air or water;
- check that electrical terminals are tight and in good condition;
- check correct pressostatic valve operation (option on MDD water-cooled models).
YEARLY:
- check that the concentration of ethylene glycol and passivating inhibitor complies with the suppliers instructions
(MDD-MDE/BDE models).
CHANGING THE LOW PRESSURE PRESSOSTAT
The refrigerant circuits of M-series air conditioning
units have schrader needle valves for connecting
manometers or transducers and for refrigerant
charging.
All schrader valves are fitted with needles except the
valve for connecting the High Pressure pressostat.
If there is a fault, the refrigerant circuit must be drained
to change the High Pressure pressostat (AP).
To change the Low Pressure pressostat (BP), simply
undo the capillary connection shown at (2) in the
diagram.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT UNDO THE PRESSOSTAT SHOWN AT (1)
IN THE DIAGRAM
THIS WOULD ALLOW GAS TO ESCAPE FROM THE REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT.

OPERATING PRIINCIPLE OF THE HUMIDIFIER
In the electrode boiler humidifier, the current flowing between the electrodes in the water in the cylinder generates
the heat necessary to boil the water (see fig. 27.).
The rate of current flow, and therefore of steam production measured by the transformer (2.), is controlled by
controlling both the water level and the concentration of salts in the cylinder (6.) by means of the fill- (7.) and drain
(8.) solenoid valve.
On a call for humidification, the CU humidifier contact (see electrical diagram) is closed, providing power to the immersed
electrodes. When the current falls below the value required as a result of a fall in the water level, the feed water solenoid valve
(7.) is opened.
The drain solenoid valve (8.) is opened at intervals depending upon the characteristics of the feed water supply, in
order to mantain the optimum concentration of dissolved salts in the water in the cylinder (6.).
The only maintenance required is periodic inspection and cleaning of the steam boiler components.
This should be carried out at least once a year, preferably before summer holiday shutdown.
BOILER CYLINDER
Scale deposits must be cleaned periodically from the electrodes and
particles of scale must be removed from the filter in the base of the
cylinder.
To dismantle the cylinder:
- drain all the water from the cylinder (see the section on Manual
Controls in the microprocessor control instruction manual).
- cut the power supply by opening the main isolator on the electrical
panel;
- disconnect the steam distributor hose from the top of the cylinder;
- disconnect the power connections to the electrodes by unscrewing
the terminal connectors and pull off the connectors of the high level
electrodes;
- unclip the cylinder fixing bracket;
- pull the cylinder (1.) vertically upwards out of its seat as shown in
fig. 28.
Unscrew the retaining ring (5.) (see fig. 28.) from the base of the
cylinder (1.) and remove the filter (2.). Flush loose scale deposits
from the filter and the inside of the cylinder with water. Clean scale deposits from the electrodes mechanically or
chemically (normal commercially available descaling products can be used ).
The boiler cylinder can be re-used many times after cleaning of the electrodes. However it will eventually require
replacement when the electrode meshes are too worn to make further cleaning worth while. The standard spare
part comprises only the cylinder itself (1.) and the gasket (3.): the filter (2.), retaining ring (5.) and connecting piece
(4.) are items which are not normally subject to wear and can be re-used with the new cylinder.

FILL AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Periodic inspections of the fill and drain connections are also advisable in order to guarantee trouble-free operation
of the humidifier.
Proceed as follows:
- drain all the water from the cylinder using the manual control on the microprocessor control;
- cut the power supply by opening the main isolator on the electrical panel;
- disconnect the feed line at the connection to the inlet solenoid valve connection;
- extract, clean and replace the filter located inside the solenoid valve connection;
- remove the drain solenoid valve assembly (shown in fig. 29.), clean out the water pathways and remove any
particles of scale from the drain syphon.
