INSTALLATION
If the unit is placed in a narrow room or in the ridge of a gable roof, the fan outlet side can be installed at
the short side of the unit. This can be done simply by reversing the dark panels so that the fan panel is moved
around to the short side of the unit. Loosening the corner bracket will eliminate the need for disconnecting
cable connections.
Fan installation (front / side)
Installation
To guarantee proper air suction, leave at least 15cm of space between the wall and the backside of the unit,
where the carbon & dust filters and air inlet are located. At least 15cm of space should also be left between
the topside of the unit and the ceiling. Larger spaces are preferred. The unit must stand free from the wall to
avoid contact noises.

1 cm fall
The unit should be mounted in such a way that the side of the condensation drain is at least 1 cm lower than
the other side (slope) to ensure that the condensate drains properly. In practice, the 1 cm elevations at all
corners – except the corner of the condensate drains – are exactly right for a correct fall. Using a spirit level is
recommended.
To avoid contact noises, the OptiClimate comes standard with rubber shock absorbers that are suitable for
suspended installation. If the OptiClimate is going to be placed on a solid base, the rubber shock absorbers
supplied with the connection set need to be used.
Special insulating springs can also be supplied for areas that have to be extra quiet. Placing the insulating
springs on the supports will ensure that the unit has automatic fall to the condensation drain.
The rubber feet with which the OptiClimate is placed on the pallet are use to suspend the unit by means of
thread ends. A thread end, a large washer and a nut must be fitted. (not supplied)

First, the panel at the left side near the manometer should be removed to make the various electrical connec-
tions. A magnetic valve, water leakage sensor, automatic moisture meter, remote control and room
temperature sensor are supplied with the unit. Their cables can be led to the outside through the opening at
the bottom of the panel. The power cable for the power supply can be led through the black feed-through
rubber at the side of the unit.

The plug of the solenoid valve should be connected using the black cable supplied with the unit, as shown in
the illustration below.
The other end of the cable should then be connected to the appropriate terminals - terminal N and terminal
7 - on the terminal strip (see page 6). The third connection of the solenoid valve can be used as earthing.
The connection set contains a loose, 5m long white wire: the water leakage sensor. This sensor is connected
to the eighth terminal on the printed circuit-board. The sensor cable should be led to the outside through the
opening in the panel and should be placed on the ground at the lowest point. The end of the sensor cable
can be split into several cores using a connector, so that more than one point is secured against leakage.
If the sensor has a black cap, this should be cut back and stripped 5mm and the cores should be stripped.
Connect the other side to the little white plug on the printed circuit-board as shown in the illustration. In case
of water leakage, the water supply will be stopped immediately by means of the electrical valve in the water
pipe.

Alarm port
The printed circuit-board has an alarm port, which is activated (makes contact) by a malfunction (error). This
contact can be connected to a GSM detector. The contact can be set to NO (contact open) or NC (contact
closed) using the Settings menu This means that the contact will be opened or closed in case of detection.
See the manual of the GSM detector or alarm for this.
Automatic moisture meter with light cell
The automatic moisture meter with built-in light cell supplied with the unit is already connected. The cable
should be led through the opening in the panel. The automatic moisture meter should be hung in the room
and may NOT be covered. The light cell in the automatic moisture meter automatically switches the OptiCli-
mate from day to night mode.
Room temperature sensor
The compartment also has a room temperature sensor, which is already connected to the printed cir-
cuit-board. This sensor should be led to the outside through the opening in the panel and should be hung at
the level of the upper side of the vegetation. The sensor should be protected against heat radiation but may
not be put in the shade. A protective cover over the sensor is sufficient.
The remote control
The remote control contained in the compartment can be
hung in the room but can also be hung elsewhere. This
way the OptiClimate can also be controlled from outside
the room. The four-core cable is already connected and
should be led to the outside through the opening in the
panel.

High temperature safeguard
Using this safeguard, the OptiClimate can switch off the heat sources (e.g. lamps) when the temperature in
a room becomes too high. The unit has a terminal that can be connected to the timer of a control panel, for
example.
The feed wire running to the switch in the timer should be interrupted for this purpose. Terminal 1, for exam-
ple, is for a Grasslin clock and terminal 4 for a LeGrand timer.

WATER-SIDED CONNECTIONS
Supply and drain connections of the cooling water
The unit has a water inlet and outlet. The inlet should be installed at a draw-off point with a solenoid valve
installed between the draw-off point and the inlet (always check the flow direction arrow on the valve!). The
solenoid valve should be installed as close as possible to the draw-off point, as this is the water seal. When
a leak occurs, the solenoid valve closes automatically.
Make sure that the black magnetic coil of the solenoid valve is directed upwards (preferred) or to the side. If
it is directed downwards, condensate from the valve might enter the coil. Make sure that the solenoid valve
is installed at a fixed point that is always easily accessible to the user.
A filter should be placed in the water inlet. This filter prevents blockage in the unit. Disassembly of the filter
often releases dirt into the unit. As such, it may only be removed after contacting the Technical Service de-
partment.
It is recommended to insulate the water supply line in order to prevent condensation build-up. The upper
water connection is the water outlet. The water outlet can be connected directly to the drain (sewer). Alterna-
tively, the warm water can be used for heating purposes.
Note: Only use solid copper or LDPE pipes and affix these properly to the wall using clamps. Always avoid
putting the LDPE under tension. Make sure that the solenoid valve is affixed properly to the wall or another fixed
point. Never use a garden hose!
When all the LDPE connections are checked for leaks and the unit operates properly, all flare fittings should be
glued. You do this by unscrewing the coupling, applying some glue to the thread and re-tightening the blue flare
nut. If done properly, the flare fittings will never come loose as a result of vibration. If it is necessary to loosen the
flare fittings, then two water pump pliers will do the trick.
Copper pipes of 15 mm or LDPE pipes of 16 mm are sufficient for all units. If several units have to cool at
more than 15 kW, the main pipe should be 20 mm copper or 20 or 25 mm LDPE. If the supply pipe has
high pressure, a copper pipe of 15 mm will cool up to 30 kW.

WATER-SIDED CONNECTIONS
All types of cooling water (tap, well, pond or swimming pool water) can be used for cooling. However,
tap water is preferred because you won’t need to rely on additional electric pumps. Well water contains
clay and iron particles that accumulate on the inner wall of the heat exchanger. The result is that sooner or
later the unit will cool less effectively or not at all. If you use well water, you can install a filter, but such a
solution requires maintenance. A normal 22mm tap water connection has sufficient capacity to continuously
cool three or four These are 3 or 4 OptiClimate 15000 units. We also have suitable solutions for larger
installations when there are problems with the water supply and discharge. In such cases, please contact the
Technical Service department.
Discharge of the condensation water
The unit will also dehumidify the air during cooling. The moisture extracted from the air comes into the condensation
drain. The condensation drain is connected to a sturdy garden hose or a pipeline that does not bend easily. The con-
densation water drips from the hose, which can be connected to the drain pipe. The condensate can also be used
as feed water. The cooling block has been adjusted to prevent metals or oxides from entering the condensate. This is
ideal when the only feed water available is hard water.
The drain pipe of the condensation water may not have loops and may not be put under the water level in a
drum. If the unit is installed at the same level or lower than the drain or sewer, a condensation lift pump can
collect the water. This small lift pump pumps the water through a hose of 9mm to a height of 4 metres into the
drain. Stronger pumps are also available.
The drain to the pump must not be under the water level and the pipe may not have loops as shown abo-
ve. It’s possible that too much air is sucked in through the condensation water pipe causing the condensate
water not to drain properly. Then there is too much resistance in the intake system. Dimension hoses of e.g.
a plenum box as large as possible and ensure that during operation all panels are mounted on the unit. A
special syphon can also be mounted. Ask your dealer.

Pressing the mode key will switch the mode from day mode (cooling) to night mode (heating/dehumidifying).
The display will show a lit snowflake in day mode and a sun with drops of water in night mode.
3) Fan speed key
This key is used for selecting the air speed of the fan. The sequence is as follows:
The speed changes whenever the Fn key is pressed. If you select the automatic fan mode in the Cool mode,
the unit will ventilate more or less depending on the need for cooling.
By selecting day or night with the mode key a different fan speed can be chosen for both day and night.
For the night we recommend the lowest fan speed for heating and dehumidifying. If a great deal must be
dehumidified during the night, the fan speed can be set to position 2 or 3.
Temperatures for the day and night can be set using the mode function. These can be changed
later, if required.

Inverter
The OptiClimate inverter models adjust the cooling capacity to the need. Non-Inverter models operate on
an on / off basis, while the inverter models run the compressor harder/ softer when more or respectively
less cooling capacity is required. This provides an even more stable climate and prevents the frequent trip-
ping of the unit in case of over capacity.
The inverter function operates on the basis of the fan speed. This means that the fan can be set to automatic
in the day position, using the remote control (FN). If the fans are set at a fixed rate, the inverter
function is switched off and the compressor also runs at a fixed rate. (resp. low / middle / high). For the
night position, we recommend that you always use the low setting.
4) Temperature setting
Users can set the temperature from 16°C to 34°C.Pressing the or key will show the set temperature SET
TEMP on the display. By pressing it once more, you can set the required temperature. The set temperature
will be saved and stored after 3 seconds. Switching between day and night temperatures is done using the
[M] mode key.
5) Time setting [T] key
Press the [T] key once to select the hours and then press the or key to change the hours. Press the [T] key
again, and the minutes will flash and then press the or key to change the minutes. Now press the [R] key
to confirm the hours and minutes that you entered.
Automatic Light Cell setting (Day /Night programme)
The automatic moisture meter in the pro3 series has a light cell, which switches to the day mode when it sees
the light is on and to the night mode when the light is off. Only the Day/Night temperatures have to be set,
the rest is done automatically.
If you want to set the unit manually, the automatic light cell can be switched off and the unit will operate ma-
nually. By pressing the [M] key for 3 seconds, the mode switches from light cell to manual. By pressing the
[M] key again for 3 seconds, the mode switches from manual to light cell. If the automatic light cell
is activated, the display shows an A.
7) Timer Setting (DAY/NIGHT programme)
As a general rule, we recommend using the automatic light cell mode. Only set the timer if you do not want
to work with the light cell!
This function can be used to set the DAY/NIGHT programme. The programme restarts every day regardless
of which day it is. If the timer is set, the display will show the clock icon next to the time:
Press the [T] key for 2 seconds. When “---”, ON becomes visible, you can change the timer setting. Pressing
the or key will allow you to set the hours of the ON time. Pressing the [T] key again will allow you to set
the minutes of the ON time. The ON time is the time that the unit will start to cool.
Pressing the [T] key again will allow you to set the OFF time. The OFF time is the time that the unit will start
to heat/ dehumidify. If the timer is not set yet, the display will show “--:--” or the time that was already set.
Note: It is important to note that when the Timer setting is programmed the automatic light cell mode is
deactivated. Therefore, program a Timer only if you want to use advanced options. The Timer mode is
active when a clock icon appears in the display.
