1. Cooling unit application
The EMO series cooling units described in this
manual are designed and built to cool the air
inside electrical switchboards in order to protect
components sensitive to thermal shock.
At the same time, the cooling units provide IP54
ingress protection against contaminating and
aggressive/corrosive substances.
1.1 Intended use
The EMO cooling unit must be used:
- For cooling electrical switchboards for external use
- With external air temperature between a
minimum of -20°C and a maximum of +50°C
(+55°C for units where this is expressly indicated
on the data plate)
- Within the voltage supply limits indicated on the
data plate of the cooling unit and also given in
chapter 14 of this manual
- Away from any sources of heat or hot air
- In an environment with adequate air exchange
- On switchboards with IP54 rating or higher.
If these requirements are not respected, exces-
sive condensation build-up may occur.
As a consequence, cable entry points or any other
openings in the cabinet should be well sealed.
To ensure correct operation, the specied
scheduled maintenance operations
(see section 10) must be performed regularly.
Incorrect or careless use may cause irreparable
damage to the cooling unit and may lead to
hazardous situations.
1.2 Improper use
The EMO cooling unit must NOT be used:
- Under any condition except those described in
section 1.1
- Outdoors, with excessive concentration of
solid contaminants and/or aggressive chemical
contaminants
- With the doors of the electrical switchboard
open, or installed on enclosures without a mini-
mum IP54 rating, due to excessive condensate
formation
- With the temperature set below the dew point of
the ambient air
- In explosive atmospheres, or those with aggres-
sive chemicals or high concentrations of dust or
oil suspended in the air
- In potentially inammable atmospheres
- With the condensate line closed or blocked off,
or in any case in which the condensate is not
allowed to run off freely
- Without the front panel
- With the cooling unit intake and outlet air ows
obstructed by walls or objects that are too close To
this end, check the minimum distances as regards
the external air ow (gure F.02), and make sure
there are no obstructions caused by the switch-
board components as regards the internal air ow.

3. Updates
OLAER reserves the right to update its products
and the corresponding manuals based on tech-
nical progress without prior notice. Please note
that at the time of sale, this manual and the cor-
responding product may not be considered inad-
equate only because they are not subject to the
above-mentioned updates.
4.Technical features
(gures F. 14 and F. 1 5 )
The unit’s technical features and CE marking are
given on the data plate attached to the cooling
unit.
5.Transport and handling
During transport and storage the cooling unit must
be kept in a vertical position, as indicated on the
packaging (gure F. 01 ), and must not be exposed
to temperatures above 70°C or below -30°C.
Upon receipt, check that the packaging has not
been damaged during shipping.
To lift the cooling unit in a safe manner, use the
handling brackets installed on the top of the unit
(gure F.03).
6. Installation
Installation of the unit should only be performed
by qualied and authorised personnel.
The cooling unit must be installed with the enclo-
sure air intake hole in the highest possible point.
Ensure the xing elements and couplings will not
interfere with the equipment inside the enclo-
sure itself.
The unit must be installed in the vertical position
indicated. Maximum permitted deviation from the
vertical is 2°.
Disconnect power before starting any work inside
the switchboard.
The cooling unit must be installed on the outside
of the electrical switchboard using the standard
accessory kit supplied with the unit. Drill the holes
and make the cuts required in the switchboard
(gure F.04) using the supplied drilling template.
Fit the sealing strip on the cooling unit on the side
connected to the enclosure and follow the
assembly diagram (gure F.04).
7. Condensate discharge hose
The condensate which, depending on the ambient
temperature and humidity conditions, forms on
the heat exchanger which cools the enclosure air,
is not a malfunction but a normal phenomenon of
the cooling unit.
The condensate is taken outside the cooling unit
via a hose at the bottom of the unit (gure 11.B).
A plastic hose must be connected to this outlet to
carry the condensate to another point, allowing it
to be discharged where there can be no slipping
hazard for personnel.
In this case, make sure the condensate ows
without any hindrance. Avoid horizontal lengths of
more than 0.5 metres, uphill sections and the
accidental formation of traps (gure F.05). The end
of the condensate discharge hose must always be
free and not underwater, so never place the end
of the discharge hose inside a condensate collec-
tion container (gure F.07).
The condensate drain connection can also be
taken out the side of the cooling unit by modifying
the position of the internal rubber tube
(gure F.11A).
If the cooling unit is used with the doors of the
enclosure open, excessive quantities of conden-
sate will form and this is an unauthorised
condition of use (gure F.07). We suggest using a
position switch on the door connected to the
cooling unit’s digital input to stop the unit if the
door is opened. (See section 8.2)
8. Electrical connection
8.1 Safety
Warning! Electrical connections must only be
performed by specialised and authorised
personnel. Switch power off to the enclosure
before making the connection.
Check that there is no power to the switchboard
and that the supply voltage corresponds to the
characteristics given on the cooling unit’s
data plate. The power supply must be protected
using appropriate time-delay fuses (type T) or
circuit breakers with K-curve, as per the indica-
tions given in table F.14. Connect the power-sup-
ply cable as shown in gure F14. Ensure you
respect the sequence R-S-T. Disconnect the
cooling unit before performing testing on the
enclosure.
8.2 Alarm management cable
(gure F.13)
The alarm signal output from the cooling unit can
be taken from wires 80 and 81 using a two-pole
cable
9. First start up and adjustment
If, prior to installation, the cooling unit was left in
an incorrect position (gure F. 01 ), wait at least 8
hours before switching it on. Otherwise,
30 minutes is more than enough time for the oil to
return to the compressor, after which the cooling
unit can be powered up. The enclosure air intake
fan starts working immediately, making the
temperature inside the enclosure even.
If this temperature exceeds the set point on the
regulator thermostat, both the compressor and
external air fan will turn on, causing the cooling
cycle to start. This then stops when the inside
temperature reaches the lower limit of the
operating temperature differential, which has a
xed value of 4 K. The thermostat is factory-set to
35°C. Use the thermostat located inside the
cooling unit to adjust the temperature set-point.
The graduated scale allows you to set the required
temperature between 20 and 46 °C (gure F. 10 ).
In order to save energy and minimise the produc-
tion of condensate, it is nevertheless recommen-
ded it not be set below 30 °C.
10. Maintenance
Warning! Caution! Before embarking on any
maintenance work, cut the current to the en-
closure.
The cooling unit is the low maintenance type. The
only maintenance required is for the internal
components, which should be checked regularly,
as indicated in the table given in this section, and
cleaned with compressed air at a maximum
pressure of 4 bar (gure F.08). Any repairs that
may need doing must only be performed by
specialised and authorised personnel.
