2 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 - General

PRO-DIALOG Plus is a system for controlling units which use reciprocating compressors*:

•Single or dual circuit

•Air or water-cooled condensers

•Non-reversible heat pumps

•Split systems

* At present only air-cooled models are available.

PRO-DIALOG Plus controls compressor start-up and demand limits needed to maintain the desired entering or leaving tem- perature setpoint for water. It automatically sets the position of the electronic expansion valve (if used) to optimise the evapo- rator charge. It controls operation of the fans (on air-cooled units) or water valves (on water-cooled units) to maintain the correct head pressure in each circuit.

Safety circuits are constantly monitored by PRO-DIALOG Plus to ensure safe operation of the unit. PRO-DIALOG Plus also gives access to a Quick Test program covering all inputs and outputs.

All PRO-DIALOG Plus controls can work in accordance with three independent modes:

•Local mode: the machine is controlled by commands from the user interface.

•Remote mode: the machine is controlled by remote contacts (volt-free contacts, analogue signals).

•CCN mode: the machine is controlled by commands from the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN). In this case a data communication cable is used to connect the unit to the CCN communication bus.

The operating mode must be chosen with the Operating Type selection button described in section 4.2.1.

When the PRO-DIALOG Plus system operates autonomously (Local or Remote mode) it retains all of its own control capa- bilities but does not offer any of the features of the CCN network.
