2.3 Condensate Drains
The condensate drains should be ‘U’ trapped outside the
unit. The traps should have a vertical height of at least 100
mm. The drain lines should have a slope of at least 1 in 50
and must not be piped to a level above the unit drain pipe.3.
Refrigeration System
3. REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
3.1 General
Each OPA 970 have two independent refrigeration systems
and two inverter compressors to provide the exibility
and economy of two stage operation, i.e. utilising one to
two systems as conditions vary, plus the advantage of
staggered starting, all stages being variable for improved
control and system efciency.
Each refrigeration system has been charged with R32
refrigerant; refer Specications document for amount.
3.2 Compressors
The compressors are inverter scroll type. The compressor
lubricant is POE-46 (NXG5020 or equivalent). Note, this oil
absorbs moisture quickly if exposed to open air.
Some models are a mix of single inverter and three xed
speed compressors. Please check the Specication Sheet
relevant to your unit.
4. WIRING
4.1 Electrical Requirements
Electrical work must be done by a qualied electrician
and
meet standard AS/NZS 3000.
DANGER! LIVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. ISOLATE MAINS POWER
BEFORE WORKING ON UNIT. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONS WHO
ARE COMPETENTLY TRAINED SHOULD PERFORM SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE TASKS.
The unit must be wired directly from a distribution board
using an appropriately sized circuit breaker. The termination
point for the mains cable is in the electrical compartment. An
isolating switch is required, near but not on the unit.
A hole for power cable entry is provided bottom right-hand
corner, next to the compressor access door. From there
route the cable into the electrical box via the hole on the
bottom of the electrical box or through the hole on the RH
side of the electrical box.
4.2 Controls Wiring
A hole for communication cable entry is provided bottom
left-hand corner, next to the compressor access door. Before
wiring, the method of control should be established from
the following list. Follow specic instructions in the following
sections. Section 4.3 is important to all sections.

4.4 BMS – BACnet Interface
1. Install ethernet cat 5 STP shielded cable between the
port shown in the below diagram of the Carel c.pCO
controller and the network switch of the BMS. The
default IP address of the controller is 192.168.1.10; refer
Controls Setup (p.9) for details on how to change.
2. Temperature and humidity sensors can be connected
directly to the Carel c.pCO controller (see specication
sheet for wiring diagram). Alternately the space
temperature and humidity can be written by the BMS to
BACnet objects which will take priority over any sensors
that are connected.
