5.3.4

Restarting DualPAC after power interruption

When the power supply returns after a short power interruption, restarting depends on the Uni-
SAB III settings.

If UniSAB III is set in AUTO running mode, the heat pump will normally start up when needed by
the automatic control and when the relevant timer/delay has expired.

If UniSAB III is set in MANUAL running mode, the operator must start up using the manual start
key on UniSAB III.

1.

Check variable set points

2.

UniSAB III should display: READY

3.

Follow the normal start-up procedure

Note:

A long stop requires a long-term stop procedure as described in the following.

5.3.5

Restarting DualPAC after alarm stop (shutdown)

1.

Check and correct the cause of the alarm.

2.

Reset the alarm.

3.

UniSAB III should display: READY.

4.

Follow the normal start-up procedure.
