4.7 - Actuators
Electronic expansion valve
The electronic expansion valve (EXV) is used to adjust the
refrigerant flow to changes in the operating conditions of
the machine. The high degree of accuracy with which the
piston is positioned provides precise control of the
refrigerant flow and suction superheat.
Water flow switch
For units without internal pumps, the water flow switch
configuration allows for the automatic control of the
minimum water flow setpoint of the water flow switch. The
configuration depends on the unit size and is made
automatically at the start-up. If the flow switch fails, the
alarm condition shuts off the unit.
Water heat exchanger pumps (optional)
The controller can regulate one or two fixed speed or
variable speed water heat exchanger pumps and takes care
of the automatic changeover between these pumps (see
also section 8
.5).
Four-way valve (heat pumps only)
The control actuates the four-way valve for cooling /
heating mode and defrosts sessions.
4.8 - Terminal block connections
Connections available at the user terminal block may vary
depending on the selected options.
The following table summarizes the connections at the
user terminal block.
IMPORTANT: Some contacts can be accessed only when
the unit operates in Remote mode
.
4.8.1 - Volt-free contact (on/off and cooling/heating)
For chillers with a boiler or heat pumps, on/off contacts
and cooling/heating contacts are as follows:

pump)
Auto:
Unit can run in Cooling or Heating in accordance with the changeover
values. If the auto changeover is enabled (
Heat/Cool Select
[HC_SEL]
, GENUNIT), the operating mode is selected based on OAT.
4.8.2 - Volt-free setpoint selection contact
This dry contact input is used to switch between setpoints.
It is active only when the control is in Remote mode.
