4.1. Component layout
The internal air return is located in the upper part of rear panel of the unit. Air is taken in by the radial
fan located at the bottom of the unit immediately over the supply air opening. Then, after crossing
the treatment filter in the centre of the unit, air is blown onto the evaporator and leaves from the
opening in the lower front panel. The compressor is fixed on the unit base in front of the evaporator.
The conditioner is controlled by the electronic board in the electric box, located behind the middle
front panel and closed by a protective cover.
The through holes for the power cables and the electronic board input / output signal cables are
located on the rear panel of the unit, between return and supply openings of internal air.
The condensate drainage pipe exits from a hole on the unit base, see its position at paragraph 3.3.

4.2. Operating method

Cooling
The shelter air is taken in by the radial fan, filtered and then cooled as it crosses the evaporator.
Treated air is then returned to the shelter through the supply air opening. The compressor operates
in order to cool the air.

Free cooling (optional)

A damper equipped with servomotor, which directs internal and external air flows, is located in the
central part of the conditioner. External air is taken in through an opening near the damper while
the internal air is discharged by overpressure through an opening located above. This damper is
proportionally controlled by a modulating signal from the C2020 controller. Its position can be
adjusted from 0 to 100% of fresh air, to regulate free cooling capacity.

Mixed mode (optional)

When the temperature of the external air is low enough to enable the free cooling mode, but the
effect of this operating mode is not sufficient to keep the internal temperature within the required
range, the compressor is switched on while the free cooling damper remains open. In this way, the
evaporator cools the external air rather than the internal re-circulating air, combining the benefits of
the free cooling and the cooling modes.

Emergency ventilation (optional)

When there is a power failure, part of the unit (evaporator fans, control components and the free
cooling damper motor) is powered by an emergency 48VDC power supply. In this way, continuous
circulation of air inside the shelter is always assured. This circulation of air is combined with free
cooling when the conditions required to enable this mode are satisfied.

INFORMATION
Units with direct current emergency ventilation always require an external direct current power
line even when mains power is present.

 WD E

Heating (optional)
With the heating elements option, the units include an electric heating element. When the
temperature is low, the heating coil turns on (compressor off) and the free cooling damper is in
complete re-circulation position, in order to heat internal air. This mode is controlled by the C2020
controller.

Dehumidification (with ACTRHC1 accessory)

According to the signal of humidity inside the room, supplied by the optional humidity probe
ACTRHC1, the air conditioner electronic controller C2020 reduces evaporator fan speed.
Consequent air flow reduction causes a higher temperature difference between inlet and outlet air,
helping condensation of humidity in it.

4.3. Mechanical components

Structure
These machines are built using self-supporting panels made of painted galvanised sheet metal
to guarantee good corrosion resistance (not suitable for corrosive and saline environments). They
make the machine easy to inspect and, at the same time, offer adequate protection to its internal
components. The external panels are internally lined with a 3 mm layer of sound-absorbing material.
The internal components of the unit can be accessed by simply removing the cladding panels. This is
done by undoing their fastening screws.

Air filter
Belonging to class G4, it is designed to prevent large dirt particles present in the environment from
obstructing airflow through the evaporator. Its zigzag shape with 50 mm height implies a wide
filtering surface, reducing pressure losses and frequency of maintenance.

Free cooling air pre-filter

It is mounted on the middle frontal panel just behind the free cooling intake opening. Made of acrylic
material it belongs to efficiency class G2.

Condensate water tray

It’s located under the evaporator to collect the moisture from the internal air which condenses on the
surface of the heat exchanger during cooling. It is fitted with a union for external drainage.

Free cooling damper

This damper, fitted in units featuring the free cooling option, consists of a metal baffle powered by a
servomotor for directing inside and outside air flows. The damper body is made of galvanised sheet
metal.

4.4. Cooling components

The unit comprises a hermetic cooling circuit consisting of a compressor, condenser, refrigerant
filter, thermostatic valve and evaporator. The air inside the shelter is cooled without coming into
contact with the external air in cooling mode.

The system works as follows: the compressor compresses the refrigerant gas bringing it to a high
pressure and temperature. The hot gas, by going through the condenser, is cooled and liquefied thus
releasing heat to the air in the environment. Pushed through the thermal expansion valve, the liquid
refrigerant loses pressure, which makes it prone to evaporation. This takes place in the evaporator,
where the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the warm air from the shelter, which is therefore cooled.

The circuit components are connected together by copper piping, appropriately welded to ensure a
greater seal. Schrader service valves are fitted internally on the compressor intake and return lines.

Refrigerant
The refrigerant that is used is R407C (HFC). Optional: R134a (HFC).

28 EN/36B/08.2018 © STULZ SpA – all rights reserved

 WD E

Compressor (CO)
A reciprocating compressor is used for the WDE40 model with 400V/3Ph+N/50Hz power
supply. WDE40 with 230V/1Ph/50Hz power supply is provided with a rotary compressor. Scroll
compressors are used for all the other models.
Compressors are basically composed of an electric motor and a mechanical section which is
powered by this motor for pumping the refrigerant gas.
In reciprocating compressors the pumping unit consists of a piston which slides inside a cylinder and
which generates, depending on its phase, compression and aspiration.
In rotary compressors, the pumping unit consists of a rotor with sliding blades, inside a stator. As the
rotor turns, compression is obtained with space reduction between rotor, blades and stator.
In scroll compressors the pumping unit consists of two spirals positioned one inside the other. One
spiral is fixed while the other performs orbital motion which aspirates and compresses the gas.

Condenser (BC)
This part allows the release of the heat of the coolant gas in the environment. It’s a microchannel
type, completely made of aluminium, with copper connections to the external piping. It’s not suitable
for acid and salt environments and it cannot be exposed to metal dust projections. For optimal
protection against salt spray, see option "Protective treatment on condenser and evaporator –
TREATW".

Liquid receiver (RL)

The liquid receiver, positioned between the condenser and the drying filter, keeps the subcooling
level of the refrigerant at a constant level and ensures maximum efficiency over varying operating
conditions.

Filter dryer (FG)

This is a mixed mechanical/chemical filter that separates out all particles of humidity from the
refrigerant that passes through it.

Thermostatic valve (VT)

The thermostatic expansion valve keeps the superheating at a constant value, adapting coolant
evaporation pressure to the real thermal load. This component is factory set during testing and must
not be tampered with.

Evaporator (EV)
This component is where heat from inner air passes to the refrigerant gas. It is a heat exchanger with
copper pipes and aluminium fins (designed for use in non-acid and non-saline environments only).
Surface has hydrophilic treatment. For optimal protection against salt spray, see option "Protective
treatment on condenser and evaporator – TREATW".

4.6. Control, monitoring and safety components

All unit components are factory adjusted and generally do not require further adjustment. If, for
special reasons, it becomes necessary to change the adjustment settings of the automatic devices
these changes must only be performed by specialists who are experts on the product and only after
informing the STULZ engineering division department.
STULZ conditioners come with a set of devices designed to ensure proper operation. Tripping by
any one of these automatic safety devices is a sign of a malfunction and it is absolutely necessary to
eliminate the cause.

DANGER
It is forbidden to electrically by-pass the safety devices. Doing so, in addition to being
dangerous, also immediately invalidates guarantee coverage for the product.
Isolate the system from electric mains before performing any repair or maintenance work.
Work on the units must only be done by qualified and authorized experts.

High pressure switch (HP)

This stops compressor operation whenever pressure inside the refrigerant circuit exceeds 29.5 bar.
When pressure returns below 24.5 bar, alarm signal from high pressure switch is disabled.

Low pressure switch (LP)

This stops compressor operation when the pressure inside the refrigeration circuit drops below 0.4
bar When pressure returns above 1.5 bar, alarm signal from low pressure switch is disabled.

Contactors
These control the motors by operating with auxiliary voltage. They comply with IEC947-4-1
standards.

Automatic circuit breakers

These protect against overcurrents and short circuits. They have adjustable thermo-magnetic
tripping devices.

Temperature probes
Three PTC temperature probes are connected to analogue inputs of C2020 electronic controller, in
order to measure following parameters:
• intake of internal air temperature;
• surface temperature of evaporator (for antifreeze purpose);
• intake of external air temperature.

Pressure transducer (DP)

A pressure transducer with signal 4÷20 mA measures the condensing pressure and is connected to
an analogue input of C2020. Value of condensing pressure is used by C2020 to adjust condenser
fan speed according to the variable outdoor conditions.

Mechanical safety thermostat of heating elements (if present)

This protects the heating elements by cutting off the power supply in case of excessive surface
temperature of the heating elements. The thermostat is adjusted to 90°C.

Dirty filter alarm device RFS

This gives a dirty filter signal, shown both on the display and on a voltage-free contact. It indicates
when it is necessary to clean or replace the air filter.

C2020 I/O controller

This microprocessor-based electronic board is equipped with a set of terminals which are necessary
to connect the board to the controlled devices (e.g. valves, compressors, fans). Software with working
logic and parameter settings are written in the EEPROM so that they remain permanently stored even
in case of power failure.
C2020 controller is housed inside the electric box and can control only one air conditioner. C2020
controllers on different units (up to 5) can be connected in a LAN for the facility of data transfer (e.g.
for sequencing).
A keypad can be connected to C2020 to display information about working conditions, state of the
air conditioner and alarms. Ordering accessory ACTKPDC1010H, the keypad is supplied in wall-
mounted version (not inside the unit), housed in a separate plastic box. When two or more units are
linked in a sequencing LAN, with only one keypad connected to the master controller, it is possible
to display data of all units. Only one unit at a time can be displayed, selecting it via the keypad itself.

The C2020 controller can also be connected to a remote monitoring / supervision system with a
RS485 serial line and ordering the necessary serial interface ACTSERC1010 (cable not supplied).

If packing disposal is necessary, we remind to dispose different materials suitably.

6. Installation
Installation and intervention on air conditioners might imply risks, as they are pressurized systems
in the presence of electric components. Thus, installation and maintenance are reserved only to
personnel skilled and qualified in the installation and maintenance of cooling plants

6.1. Positioning the unit

WDE units must be installed on the
external wall of the shelter / room to be
conditioned. Check that there is enough
room for easy application, installation
and servicing, both inside and outside
the shelter. Always observe the minimum
spaces indicated in the following drawing.

Dimensions (mm)
WDE MODEL A B C D E F G H I
40 – 60 - 80 1000 2085 0 879 0 800 565 0 1365
A0 – A2 – A4 – A6 1000 2226 500 992 500 800 730 0 1530

DANGER
Do not obstruct circulation of air being sucked into or expelled from the air conditioner.
Avoid short circuits of air on both the internal (evaporator) side and the external (condenser) side.

Short circuits on the evaporator side cause:

• The reduction of the unit efficiency;
• A bad distribution of air inside the shelter;
• At worst, the intervention of anti-freeze protection which stops compressor.

It is important also to prevent hot air expelled by the condenser fan from being even partially sucked
back in. This would cause continuous stoppages, commanded by the pressure switches, with:

36 EN/36B/08.2018 © STULZ SpA – all rights reserved

 WD E

• Reduction of efficiency;
• Increase of electricity consumption;
• Bad control of internal temperature.

Check also that:

• The wall where the unit is installed can support its weight;
• The inside of the shelter is clean;
• The conditioner is not in the proximity of heat sources or warm air flows;
• The structure is watertight;
• If installed on a door, make sure the hinges can withstand the weight of the unit. Make sure that the
electric cable is not torn or damaged when the door is closed;
• If the depth of the cooling unit prevents the door from opening completely, arrange a stopper for
such a door.

6.2. Mechanical installation

DANGER
Before starting work, disconnect the power supply. Prior to drilling holes or making cuts, make
sure that holes, screws, cables, etc. do not interfere with the equipment which has already been
installed.

1. Make openings for evaporator air circuit and cable passage according to the cut-out drawings at
paragraph "3.3. Drawings".
2. Once cut-out openings have been made, suitably insulate them against water infiltration (rain).
3. Glue the adhesive gasket around the edges of the unit openings. The adhesive gasket consists of
ethylene propylene, open-cell type, 3 mm thick and 10 mm wide.

ATTENTION
Unit openings are larger than cut-out on the wall. Therefore the adhesive gasket must be
applied around the opening of the unit, not on the wall. Position of sealing gasket compared to
cut-out drawing is shown at paragraph "3.3. Drawings"

4. We recommend to provide the shelter with a support bar

for the air conditioner (not supplied with the unit). This
bar has two main functions: it decreases the mechanical
stress on the wall and it is a reference for a correct
position of the unit on the wall. Set the conditioner on the
support bar.
5. Lean the unit against the wall so that the openings on the
rear panel of the unit correspond to the openings cut on
the wall. Then, fix the unit to the wall through its lateral
brackets via suitable screws.
6. When also the electric installation is completed, put the
return and supply grilles / diffuser (accessories) in place.

WD E

6.3. Electric connections

DANGER
It is absolutely necessary, before making any connections, to check the supply voltage with a
tester. The voltage that is measured must correspond with the voltage indicated on the unit
label.
The installer must install, upstream from the unit, an isolating switch with fuse and capacity
as specified on the label in order to permit maintenance on the machine with total absence of
electricity.
The ON-OFF key on the C2020 keypad (if present) is only used to put the unit on stand-
by. It must not be considered to be a safety component permitting maintenance on the unit.
Maintenance must only be carried out after having isolated the power supply to the unit (see
previous note).
All electric connections and wiring must be done exclusively by authorized technical personnel.
The system must be equipped with an efficient ground connection.

The electric connection to the climate-control system must comply with the following regulations:
Machine safety directive (2006/42/CE)
Low voltage directive (2006/95/CE)
Electromagnetic compatibility directive (2004/108/CE)
National mechanical and electric systems regulations

• Check power supply voltage and frequency.

• Check that these values are compatible with those of the unit (shown in its name-plate).
• Cut off every power supply line before working on the unit.
• Section of power supply cables must be selected in accordance to their length, kind of power
supply and the current absorbed by the unit, as prescribed by current regulations. These cables
must comply with currently applicable standards. In any case we recommend using shielded
cables unless the installer carries out, at his expense, tests that demonstrate that shielding is not
necessary.
• Check that the power cables are installed at an adequate distance from alarm, communication and
monitoring cables.
• On the main power supply line, install a disconnect switch (in overvoltage category III), please refer
to the electric diagram on part 2 manual. Size of main switch must be determined according to the
maximum current consumption of the components (standard + options). Current absorption data
are in the technical data sheets.
• Do the same on emergency 48VDC power supply line, if present.
• Verify carefully the polarities of DC power supply, according to the wiring diagram.
• For 3-phase scroll compressors: take care of correct phase sequence after the connection
of the main power supply. The sequence is important for the correct sense of rotation of the
3-phase scroll compressor. A loud noise coming from the compressor means it is turning in the
wrong direction. If this continues for a few hours, it will overheat and irreparably damage the
compressor. Correct compressor operation can be easily checked by measuring the temperature
at the condenser outlet. If this temperature is noticeably higher than the external temperature, the
compressors is working correctly. Otherwise, the compressor is turning in the wrong direction and
the phase sequence must be changed.

DANGER
The inobservance of these points can provoke damages or malfunction of components and
warranty shall become forthwith void.
For use of leakage-current (FI) circuit breakers, EN 50178 5.2.11.2 must be taken into
account. Only type B pulse-current FI circuit breakers are permitted. FI circuit breakers do not
provide protection against bodily harm during operation of the unit or frequency converters.

• Main and emergency 48 VDC power supply lines (if present), must be connected to the power
terminal board inside the electric box. To reach this position, insert the cables in the holes on the
rear panel of the unit, behind the internal air return opening. Opening on the left is for main power
supply cables, while one of the two openings on the right is for DC power supply. These openings
are ducted directly to the electrical box, as shown in the following drawing.
• Digital outputs (alarms), analogue inputs (humidity probes) and digital inputs (customer’s external
devices) can be connected to C2020 controller via screw terminals inside the electrical box.
Terminals are named C1 (outputs from C2020) and C2 (inputs to C2020). Opening for passage of
signal cables is near the one for DC power supply. Cable is directly guided to the electrical box.

ATTENTION
All the devices connected to the digital outputs and analogic inputs of the controller, must
be connected to a SELV type power source (voltage limit 42Vdc/ac). The digital inputs of the
controller must be connected to voltage-free contacts.
Please refer to use and maintenance manual part 2 for more information.

• Check the current that is absorbed by the compressor, fans and other optional components,
comparing these values with those indicated in technical specifications.
• Check the direction of rotation of the compressor, as indicated in the previous chapter (electric
installation section). If it is incorrect, invert the wires.
• When the system is operating at normal capacity: 1) check that there are no alarms; 2) check that
the air discharged from the condenser flows correctly without being drawn into the cooling unit;
3) check that the fans work properly; 4) check, with the unit operating, that power supply voltages
remain inside the values indicated on the technical data label for the unit; 5) check that the unit
operates according to the set logic.

Shutdown
To shut the unit down, disconnect it from all its power supplies using the related isolating switches.

DANGER
The ON-OFF key on the C2020 display (if present) is only used to put the unit on stand-by. It must
not be thought to be a safety component to turn the unit off prior to performing maintenance.

8. Maintenance
8.1. Safety instructions
Installation and intervention on air conditioners must be made in full compliance with specific
national regulations for accident prevention, with particular reference on electric and refrigerant
equipment. Failure to comply with these regulations might be dangerous to people and environment.
Before any intervention on the unit, refer to instructions on this manual, check data on the name-
plate and take any other precaution in order to guarantee optimal safety.
Maintenance operations must be made by authorized and skilled personnel.

Safety procedures

DANGER
Cut off the power supply to the unit before making any maintenance operation. A “DO NOT
SWITCH ON” warning sign must be clearly visible. ON-OFF key on C2020 display (if present) is
only used to put the unit is stand-by. It must not be considered as a safety device to switch off
the unit before maintenance.
Live electric components have to be switched to de-energized and checked to ensure that they
are in the de-energized state.
Some verifications must be effected with the unit in operation (measuring current, pressures,
temperatures). In such a case, the unit must only be switched on at the master switch after all
mechanical connections have been carried out. The unit must be switched off immediately after
the measuring procedure.
The electric box might be hot.

Very little routine maintenance is necessary to keep the unit in reliable operating order and protect
its moving parts. This maintenance, however, must be performed at the prescribed maintenance
intervals. Failure to perform due maintenance both decreases the working life and efficiency of the
unit and also invalidates guarantee coverage.

• FANS: check that fans do not show signs of overheating or abnormal vibrations and that they are free to rotate.
Every 6 months • REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT: sight glass.
• REFRIGERANT CHARGE: check that the system is properly filled. If it is not filled then search for the leak (check
joints in particular), repair it and refill the system.
• FREE COOLING DAMPER (when present): check tightness of fixation of air deflector to the shaft.
Every year • SAFETY DEVICES OF REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT: high pressure switch.
• COMPRESSOR: check the oil level from the indicator on the compressor.
• ELECTRIC CIRCUIT: check that electric connections are tight, that switches, remote control switches and isolating
switches are operating and in good condition. Also check that the control board operates and perform a test of
alarm signals.
• MECHANICAL PARTS: clean the inner components of the system.

ATTENTION
If air conditioner works in particularly dirty environment or if experience shows that a more
frequent maintenance is needed, this must be made as necessary.

8.3. Air circuit

Heat exchangers
Blow compressed air through the heat exchanger in the opposite direction to that of the air flow
during normal operation. Please take care to avoid contamination of the aluminium surface with
reactive dust, chemical elements, other metal particles and ions.

ATTENTION
Do not distort the fins while cleaning, this also increases the air resistance.

Fans
The bearings of the fans are lifetime lubricated and do not need maintenance. Check the operation
current. An increased operation current indicates either a higher air resistance by a clogged pre-
filter or a winding short circuit in the fan motor. Fans are automatically controlled with variable speed.
To make measurements at nominal speed, use manual control.

Air filters
A differential pressure switch monitors air intake filter. As soon as pressure loss exceeds an adjustable
value, a dirty filter alarm is enabled by the electronic controller. In this case, filter replacement is
necessary.

To pull it out, proceed as follows:

• Open the middle front panel. The air filter is below the free cooling damper block, behind a
securing plate screwed to the air conditioner frame and covered with thermal insulating material.
• Loosen the screws of this securing plate and remove it.
• Extract the air filter.

ATTENTION
Spare filters must have filtering medium with the same thickness and density as the original one.
A set of spare filters can be ordered to your local STULZ service partner.

Air filter extraction

8.4. Refrigerant circuit

High pressure switch
High pressure switch is a safety device, therefore its correct intervention must be verified regularly.
To do this, simulate a pressure increase. If the high pressure switch intervenes at a higher pressure
than 32.4 bar (original intervention value +10%), it must be immediately replaced with a new switch
with the same intervention point.

Refrigerant charge
An insufficient charge causes the formation of bubbles in the sight glass or in extreme cases
the stop of compressor due to protection against low pressure. An operation with an insufficient
refrigerant quantity over a longer period leads to a reduction of cooling capacity and to high
superheating temperatures, which have a disadvantageous effect on the compressor lifetime.

ATTENTION
When refrigerant charge is more than 3kg, control of refrigerant leakages is obligatory,
according to European Regulation 517/2014 (F-gas). Certified personnel and companies
(according to Reg. 303/2008) provides regular leak testing (according to Reg. 1516/2007
and Reg. 1497/2007) and maintain records of maintenance activities in a dedicated log book.

WD E

If a leak is detected:
• Let out the refrigerant in a collecting device down to a pressure of 1 bara;
• Connect a vacuum pump via a pressure gauge station on the high and low pressure side;
• Extract the refrigerant by the vacuum pump (not by the compressor!) to approx. 0 bara;
• Dispose the refrigerant according to the national regulations;
• Fill the circuit with nitrogen to 1 bara;
• Repair the leak;
• The circuit has to be run dry by several (at least 3x) fillings and extractions of nitrogen. When
necessary change the filter dryer;
• Fill with R407C.

ATTENTION
R407C must be charged in a liquid state.

After filling check the HP switch. An overfilling of the circuit makes the condensation pressure rise
and by that the power consumption of the compressor. In the extreme the HP switch triggers.

Sight glass and filter dryer

Bubbles in the sight glass indicate that the charge is insufficient or that the filter dryer is clogged. A
pollution of the filter dryer, whose origin task is to clear the refrigerant from impurities and humidity,
can be detected by a temperature difference upstream and downstream the filter dryer.
With too much humidity in the circuit, the expansion valve can freeze. In addition to this the POE oil in
the compressor, which comes in touch with the refrigerant, takes up humidity and loses its ability to
lubricate. In this case the refrigerant must be completely evacuated and recharged according to the
above described evacuation instruction.

Compressor
In the compressor there is a polyester (POE) oil charge, which does not have to be renewed under
normal operation conditions and holds out for the unit’s lifetime. However, it is possible that the
oil, as it reacts hygroscopically, has taken up humidity of the air after repeated recharging of the
refrigerant circuit due to repair works. The interaction between POE oil and water results in the
formation of acid. Owing to hyper acidity, corrosive processes take place inside the compressor. The
oil level can be checked by looking at the sight glass of the compressor.

DANGER
In case of topping up, use always the type of oil indicated on the technical data plate on the
compressor.

8.5. General appliance cleaning procedures

The metal casing of the unit can be cleaned using a detergent liquid as long as this liquid is
compatible with: PVC, polyethylene, silicone and polyester coating.

ATTENTION
Use of an unsuitable detergent might cause damage to the unit.
Do not use either acid or caustic substances or solvents like benzine to clean any part of the unit.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Inner parts must be cleaned with a liquid detergent and air
at a pressure not higher than 4 bar and with the unit suitably connected to ground. Check also that
water pipes are firm: vibrations might cause leakages. Finally, check pipe insulation.

11. Options
INFORMATION
On all WDE40-60-80 models some options do not fit all together. Maximum three of the
following four options can be ordered on the same unit:
• RSC heating resistance
• SWT / SWM main switch
• SOFTT / SOFTM softstart
• PSCR (phase sequencing control) and/or VCC (voltage control relay)

11.1. Protective treatment on condenser and evaporator – TREATW

It’s a protective treatment on condenser and evaporator surface in order to protect them against
corrosion by salt spray. This option consists of epoxy treatment on the evaporator surface and
cataphoresis treatment on condenser surface. This treatment reduces efficiency of the heat
exchanger.

11.2. Stainless steel casing – PAKIN

With this option, external panel and fixing flanges of the units are made of stainless steel AISI 304
sheet. As standard, with stainless steel casing, units are painted like the units with zinc plated sheet
casing.

11.3. Seaworthy case packaging - SEAPACK

Wooden packaging with special treatment suitable for sea freight.

11.4. Refrigerant R134a

With standard R407C the upper limit of external temperature is +50°C. With R134a, units can
work up at higher temperatures, although also the operating temperature limit of the condenser
fans has to be verified as a special model may be required, depending on maximum outdoor working
temperature. Since with R134a, compressors have a lower efficiency than with R407C, with this
option a bigger compressor is installed to achieve roughly the same total cooling capacity as with
standard R407C refrigerant. In the following pages the technical data sheets of units with R134a.

NOTES ON TECHNICAL DATA:

* Inclusive of power absorbed by evaporator fans. External temperature 35°C / Internal
temperature 30°C / Internal relative humidity 30%
** Sound pressure level at 2 m obtained from the measured sound power according to the EN ISO

11.5. Electric reheat – RSC

This option is used to heat internal air. Electric heaters are made of aluminium and include a
safety thermostat. Heaters are controlled directly by C2020. Heaters are divided in single-phase
modules, each with 1,5 kW heating capacity and 6,52 A current absorption at nominal voltage. The
distribution of modules on the three lines of power supply is shown on the wiring diagram of the unit.
Heating resistance doesn’t require any specific maintenance operations but the periodic check of
their fixation to supports and their cleanliness. This check has to be done together with the general
check of the unit.

11.6. Crankcase heater for compressor – CRA

This heating resistance, installed around compressor carter, operates when compressor is OFF,
to keep lubricating oil warm. This function assures constant lubricating performance of oil at the
compressor start. It is necessary only when outdoor temperature might go below -20°C.

11.7. Kit for low external temperatures – WINTER KIT

When minimum outdoor temperature is below -25°C and cooling function is still required, units must
be provided with this option. With this kit, minimum outdoor working temperature is -40°C. The kit is
installed in factory and is composed of:
• condenser fan with special bearings for low temperature
• heating resistance on electrical box
• heating resistance on free cooling damper (when present)
• pressure transducer on condenser
• condenser shut system
• crankcase heater (so there is no need to order it separately).

INFORMATION
It’s possible to install Winter kit option only in the units with refrigerant R407C.

11.8. Main switch - SWT/SWM

This is located on the electric box and is used to disconnect main power supply to the unit. When
switched off, it interrupts power supply to the unit circuits from it downstream. This switch can be
provided by the installer as well, or it can be requested ordering this option. SWT is the version for
3-phase main power supply, SWM the version for single-phase main power supply. Main switch
doesn’t disconnect DC voltage, if present.

DANGER
ATTENTION: In case of main switch, the power supply cables between the connection terminals
of the customer and the main switch are always under voltage also if the main switch is open.
The supply cables are identified with the symbol below (high voltage).

11.9. WIB1000 / WIB1485

The WIB1000 / WIB1485 is a single-point Ethernet interface and it’s used for the SNMP
supervision, web monitoring and OnBoard communication. It’s also possible to update the firmware
and the parameters list through an USB key, formatted as FAT32.
When present, WIB1000 / WIB1485 is soldered directly on the SPI connector of the mother board.
WIB1000 is the option without the serial interface 485, while WIB1485 is the option with serial
interface 485.

11.10. Voltage Monitoring – VCC

The voltage control relay, is an additional device which stops the power supply to prevent faults if
the voltage not in rated tolerance. The relays monitors according to the respective setting an voltage
whether it exceeds or falls below a specified value or is within a certain range (window monitoring)
The relay installed in the electrical box has a display and can be parametrized with three keys.
The display shows the present value and a symbol that indicates whether the relay is set to
monitor whether the voltage exceeds or falls below a specified value or whether it is set to window
monitoring. The setting range for the upper and lower threshold values extends from 17 V to 275 V.
Reset function: Auto- or manual reset selectable.

ATTENTION
Setting of this component is made in factory and must not be altered.

11.11. Monitoring of phase sequence and phase loss (for 3-phase scroll
compressors) – PSCR
Protection relay for phase sequence and phase loss installed in the electrical box. In case of incorrect
phase sequence or phase loss, the relay automatically switch off the compressor to protect them from
damage . Automatic reset when failure is no longer present. LED indication for power on and fault.

11.12. Soft start for three-phase compressor – SOFTT

DANGER
Hazardous voltage: will cause death or serious injury. Disconnect power before working on
equipment.

ATTENTION
Setting of this component is made in factory and shown in the wiring diagram. Before altering it,
contact STULZ service.

INFORMATION
With SOFTT option, the working limit of the unit is 45°C external temperature.

 WD E

The soft start is installed inside the e-box on the supply line to the compressor. Its purpose is the
reduction of compressor starting current. This can be obtained in two ways:
• Soft start is the most common method of starting. The initial torque setting is DIP switch
selectable as a percentage of the locked rotor torque (LRT), ranging from 15…65% of full value.
The starting time is customer set, ranging from 2…15 seconds.
• Current limit start is used when a limitation of the maximum starting current is necessary. This is
DIP switch selectable and can be adjusted from 150…450% of full load amps. The current limit
starting time is customer set, ranging from 2…15 seconds.
• Other operation modes of this device are kick start and soft stop, but these must be disabled for
the control of the air conditioner.
Additional features:
• Motor overload: The overload is DIP switch selectable. The overload trip class is selectable for
OFF or a 10, 15, or 20 protection. A current transformer (CT) monitors each phase. The motor’s
full load current rating is set by a potentiometer. The overload reset option can be operated either
manually or automatically.
• Fault indication: this device monitors both the pre-start and running modes. A single LED is used
to display both RUN/ON and FAULT indication. If the controller senses a fault, it shuts down the
motor and the LED displays the appropriate fault condition. The controller monitors the following
conditions:
--Overload
--Over-temperature
--Phase reversal
--Phase loss / Open load
--Phase imbalance
--Shorted SCR
Any fault condition will cause the auxiliary contacts to change state and the hold-in circuit to
release. All faults can be cleared by either pressing the reset button or by removing control power.
Overload and over-temperature are time-based conditions that may require waiting for some
additional cooling time, before reset is possible.
Control terminal description
The device contains eight control terminals on the front of the controller. These control terminals are
described below.

Terminal number Description Terminal number Description

A1 Control power input 97 N.O. relay - aux. contact for fault indication
A2 Control power common 98 N.O. relay - aux. contact for fault indication
