1 Introduction
1.1 General notes
This water chiller complies fully with EC-machine directives and all its main
components are UL and CSA listed.
The Company does not accept responsibility if safety regulations are not met
during handling, operation, maintenance and repair, even though these may
not be strictly stated in this operation manual.
We recommend the translation of this operation manual into the native
language of foreign workers.
The usability and life cycle of the water chiller as well as avoiding premature
repairs depends on proper operation, maintenance, care and competent
repair under consideration of this operation manual.
We are constantly updating our products and are confident that they respond
to the latest scientific and technological demands. However, as
manufacturers, we do not always know the end use or the total range of our
products’ applications. Therefore we cannot accept liability for our products in
applications where additional safety measures may be necessary. We highly
recommend that users inform us of the intended application in order to
undertake additional safety measures, if necessary.

2 Installation
The refrigerant circuit controls are set before shipment of the unit. They should
not be re-adjusted under any circumstances (except by an authorized service
agent). This would void the warranty of the unit.
2.2 Transportation
Keep the unit upright at all times. Do not tilt when shipping or moving. The
tilting of the Ultracool unit may affect the internal suspension of the
refrigerant compressor.
2.3 Site
We recommend the installation of the Ultracool unit in a well-ventilated site and
in a non-corrosive, dust-free atmosphere. The air renewal of the room should be
at least ¾ of chiller’s motor fan flow (see point 7).
The electrical protection degree of the Ultracool unit is IP44. The chiller must be
protected from rain with a roof and it must be installed in such way that the
control panel receives as few direct sunlight as possible.
The inlet of fresh air onto the condenser should be in the most direct way
possible, avoiding any chance of air recycling.

Leave at least 1,5 metres (5 feet) of flexible pipe right after the chiller’s inlet
and outlet connections. This will allow moving the chiller for a better
maintenance access without dismantling the water pipes.
Minimize the number of elbows in the water lines. The length of hose, number of
fittings, valves, etc. will also cause an increase of the pressure drop.

Installation
2
The water connection of the installation of the Ultracool unit must be carried out
according to the indications of the labels (stickers) present on the unit. The tank
has to be filled directly by removing the chiller and tank covers.
The chiller can be installed above the application. If the chiller is installed below
it, the height difference between the chiller and the application should never
exceed 10 m (33 feet).
In the installations in which the water level of the circuit exceeds the
maximum level of the tank inside the Ultracool unit, it will be necessary to
install a non-return valve in the water outlet of the Ultracool unit and a
solenoid valve in the water inlet. Terminals at 230 VAC are designed for that
purpose to carry out the supply of this solenoid valve (see electrical diagram).
Check that the supply voltage does not exceed a maximum variation of +/-10%
from the nominal value indicated on the data plate of the chiller.
For the electrical supply of the Ultracool unit, use an appropriate electrical line
according to the data in the characteristics plate.
The chiller has some special terminals prepared for the following functions:
- Terminals 23 and 24, remote On/Off operation: This chiller can be turned
On and Off remotely by using an external dry contact connected to these
two terminals: Contact Open = chiller Off, Contact Closed = chiller On.
If this function is not used, do not remove the wire bridge between 23
and 24. The chiller will not turn On if these contacts are not bridged.

3 Start-up
3.1 Operation Conditions
(1) The Ultracool units can work with cold water temperatures lower than 7ºC
(45ºF). To do so, add ethylene glycol to the water and contact an authorized
service engineer to adjust the chiller.
(2) When the Speed Regulator (SR) option is included, the Ultracool units can
work with ambient temperatures until –15ºC (5ºF). To do so, add ethylene glycol
to the water and contact an authorized service engineer to adjust the chiller.

Do not use automotive antifreeze. Use lab grade ethylene glycol only! Do
not use an ethylene glycol concentration above 30%; this would damage
the water pump.
-8-
Start-Up
3
Clean the application water circuit with tap water in order to be sure that there
are no free particles inside. Otherwise the filter element can block up during the
start-up process.
Fill the tank with water of the required quality (see annex 10), the suitable
glycol concentration according to point 3.1 and the Refrifluid B additive
supplied with the chiller (2 liters per each 100 liters of water tank volume).
Fill it directly to the tank until the maximum level of the tank is reached. After
filling the tank make sure to remove any air left inside the water pump by
unscrewing its purge screw until water comes out of it:
Open the water inlet and outlet valves completely as shown on the following
pictures:
Start the Ultracool unit with the On/Off switch. After a couple of minutes or when
the chiller stops by low level alarm (FL alarm), stop the Ultracool unit and refill
the tank to the maximum water level.
Repeat this procedure until the water level in the tank remains constant.
When refilling the tank respect the ethylene glycol concentration as per
point 3.1.

Start-Up
3
Close gradually the manual valve at the Ultracool outlet to adjust the Pump
pressure on the Pump pressure gauge (see point 4.1) to the “Pnom. 1” value
(Nominal pressure) indicated on the carachteristics plate of the Ultracool:
The fridge circuit has an initial delay of 2 minutes after switching the chiller On
before it can start. After this time, if the water tank temperature is at least 2ºC
(3.6F) above the programmed value (see point 4.2), the fridge circuit starts and
begins lowering the temperature.

Standby mode: The controller has a Standby mode available. When the
controller is in this mode, all motors in the Ultracool unit are stopped, but the
display continues to read the water tank temperature.
When the chiller is running, the On/Standby indicator is lit. When the chiller is in
Standby, this indicator remains off.
To turn the chiller On while in Standby mode or to go to Standby mode while the
chiller is running, keep the Up button pressed during a few seconds, until the
On/Standby indicator toggles On or Off.
On/Standby memory: When the chiller is turned Off with the On/Off switch and
later it is switched back On, the controller stays in the same mode (“On” or
“Standby”) it was when the switch was turned Off.
This means that, if the chiller was originally in Standby mode when it was last
switched off, the chiller will not turn On automatically after the On/Off switch is
turned back On, it will remain in Standby mode.
To start the chiller again, just use the Up key as indicated above. Alternatively, if
a remote On/Off contact is being used, the chiller can also be turned On
remotely. To do so, send an On signal by opening and then closing the remote
contact connected to terminals 23 and 24.
Setting the temperature: Use the following procedure to adjust the required
working temperature (between –5ºC (23ºF) and 25ºC (77ºF)):
- Press the Sel button for about 5 seconds. The display will show "- / -".
- Press Down until the display shows "- r -".
- Press Sel and the display will show "r01". This parameter is the temperature
setpoint.
- Press Sel to display the current setpoint value.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to increase or to decrease the value of the
setpoint.
- Press Sel to confirm the new value. The display will show "r01".
- Press Prg three times to exit the setpoint modification procedure. The display
will show again the water tank temperature.

- Press Sel to confirm the new value. The display will show "P21".
- Press Prg three times to exit the modification procedure. The display will
show again the water tank temperature.
Glycol warning: This indicator is lit when the working conditions of the chiller
require ethylene glycol as antifreeze agent in the water circuit to avoid freezing.
Be sure that the water mixture has the suitable ethylene glycol concentration
when this is lit. Please check point 3.1 from this manual to adjust the ethylene
glycol concentration of the water mixture according to the ambient temperature
and antifreeze setpoint.
Compressor timer indicator: When “1” blinks it means that the controller is
delaying the start of the fridge compressor. When the compressor starts “1” will
stop blinking.
