4. Controller functions
The cooling unit is intended to be used as a complementary accessory to larger industrial equipment. The unit
is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to
protect heat sensitive components. It is not intended for household use.
The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure that the clean cabinet air does not come into
contact with the ambient air which may well be dirty or polluted.
Enclosure cooling units can dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures such as electrical
enclosures into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below that of
the ambient air.
The unit can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard
operating temperature ranging between -40°C (-40°F) and +55°C (131°F).
Units can be ordered with an additional electrical cabinet heater. For the cooling capacities and evironmental
ratings please refer to the type plate data.
Controller
The display shows the temperature in the range of -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F). The temperature is
displayed with resolution of tenths between -19.9°C and +99.9°C (-3.8°F to +211.8°F). During programming, it
shows the codes and values of the parameters. The display also shows icons according to occurring events.

In order to protect the unit’s components, minimum relay output on (3 or 7 minutes) and off (4 minutes)
times and minimum time (7 or 11 minutes) between activation of the same relay output are applied.
In case of digital inputs not configured, probes not fitted or configured, or St2 not enabled on the
controller the display shows ‘nO’.

5. Functional principle
The cooling unit for enclosures works on the basis of a refrigeration circuit consisting of four main
components: compressor (1), evaporator (2), condenser (3) and expansion device (4).
The circuit is hermetically sealed and R134a refrigerant circulates inside it (R134a is chlorine free and has an
Ozone Destruction Potential [ODP] of 0 and a Global Warning Potential [GWP] of 1430). The compressor
compresses the refrigerant (thus taking it to high pressure and high temperature), and pushes it through the
condenser, where it is cooled by ambient air thus passing from the gas to the liquid state. At the liquid state it
then passes through the capillary pipe being a much lower pressure the refrigerant arrived to the evaporator
where it absorbs the necessary heat to change from liquid to gas state. The gas is then drawn back into the
compressor completing the cycle.

7. Mounting
Always disconnect the power supply before opening the unit.
The heat load to be dissipated from enclosure should not exceed specific cooling output of the unit at any
condition. At cooling unit selection always cater for a safety margin of at least 15% extra cooling output in the
worst conditions. Air inlets and outlets must be completely free from obstruction.
Ensure that flows of air leaving and entering the cooling unit, internal and external, are not obstructed. Cooling
unit enclosure air suction hole must be installed in the highest possible point. When installing the unit on a door
ensure it can take the weight.
Before drilling the enclosure ensure the fixing elements and couplings will not interfere with the equipment
inside the enclosure itself. Disconnect power before starting any work inside the enclosure. Following this 1:1
Scale Drilling Template drill the holes and make the required cuts on the enclosure. This template may have
been affected by storage conditions, please check this template by verifying values of the largest dimensions
before drilling. Fit the sealing strip on the cooling unit on the side connected to the enclosure and follow the
installation diagram.
This AC unit can only be mounted to a suitably Type rated enclosure to maintain it's Type rating. The Type and
IP rating of the enclosure should be the same or higher than that of the unit.

10. Electrical connection
Door Switch
The unit can be switched on and of via a door contact switch. When delivered the door contact terminals are
bridged on the female connector. To connect the door contact switch remove the bridge and connect door
contact switch. The contact must be closed when the cabinet door is closed.

12. Taking into operation
Attention!
The unit can be damaged by lack of lubricant. To ensure that the compressor is adequately lubricated the oil,
which has been displaced during transport, must be allowed to flow back into it. The unit must therefore be
allowed to stand for at least 30 min. before being connected to the mains and taken into operation.
The unit / system must be protected with a MCB Type D or K.
Upon connection the internal fan will start working. If the temperature inside the enclosure is higher than the
set value of the controller both the compressor and external air fan start working. Once the air inside the
enclosure reaches the set temperature the compressor and external fan will stop.
The unit is pre-set at 35°C, which is suitable for most of the electronic devices.

14. Maintenance & Cleaning
Always switch power supply off before starting any maintenance on
the unit.
The cooling unit is generally maintenance free and can be operated without filters in most environments. For
units with filters these should be checked, cleaned and if necessary replaced on a regular basis. In addition the
unit should have regular functional tests (approx. every 2,000 hours depending on the grade of ambient
pollution).
Disposal.
The cooling unit contains R134a refrigerant and small quantities of lubricating oil. Replacement, repairs and
final disposal must be done according to the regulations of each country for these substances.

15. Transport & Storage
Malfunction due to transport damage
On delivery the carton box containing the unit must be examined for signs of transport damage. Any transport
damage to the carton box could indicate that the unit itself has been damaged in transit which in the worst case
could mean that the unit will not function.
The unit can only be stored in locations which meet the following conditions:
temperature range: - 40°C to + 70°C
Relative humidity (at 25°C): max. 95 %
Returning the unit
To avoid transport damage the unit should be returned in the original packing or in a packing case and must be
strapped to a pallet. If the unit cannot be returned in the original packing please ensure that:
A space of at least 30 mm. must be maintained at all points between the unit and the external packing.
The unit must be shipped in the same position as it was mounted.
󰾬The unit must be protected by shock resistant padding (hard foam corner pieces, strips or cardboard
corner pieces).
