ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS OF FLOW SWITCH OR DIFFERENTIAL WATER PRESSURE SWITCH 

 

It is pre-wired in all LCA units. Frame 1, 2, 3 units feature a differential pressure switch that detects 

pressure drops upstream and downstream from the evaporator (outgoing – returning water in the case 

of units equipped with a pump system) ; Frame 4, 5 units have a blade-type flow switch installed in 
series with water circuit. 

ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS OF THE CIRCULATION PUMP 

 

If selected on ordering, it/they is/are supplied pre-wired with all LCA units. 

 

 

The pump must be started before the chiller and stopped after the latter (minimum 

recommended delay: 60 seconds). If included as an option, this function is already 
performed by the electric control board on the unit. 

 

 

REMOTE CONTROLS 

 

If you wish to include a remote control for switching the unit on and off, you must remove the bridge 

between the contacts indicated in the wiring diagram and connect the remote ON/OFF control to the 

terminals themselves [see annexed wiring diagram].  
 

All remote controls work with a very low voltage (24 Vac) supplied by the insulating 
transformer on the electric control board. 

 

REMOTE SUMMER-WINTER SWITCHING 

 

If you wish to include a remote control for switching the unit between the summer and winter operating 

modes, you must remove the bridge between the contacts indicated in the wiring diagram and connect 

the remote switching control to the terminals themselves [see annexed wiring diagram]. 

STARTING UP  

PRELIMINARY CHECKS  

 

Check that all the valves in the cooling circuit are open (liquid line). 

 

Check that the electrical connections have been made properly and that all the terminals 

are 

securely tightened

. This check should also be included in a periodic six-month inspection. 

 

Check that the voltage at the RST terminals is 400 V ± 5% and 

make sure

 the yellow indicator light 

of the phase sequence relay is on. The phase sequence relay is positioned in the middle right part of 

the electric control board; if the sequence is not duly observed, it will not enable the machine to 

start. 

 

Make sure there are no refrigerant leaks that may have been caused by accidental impacts during 

transport and/or installation.
