Operation
In every unit there is a double plate heat exchanger with an adiabatic cooling system. The noz-
zles spray water directly on the lower plate heat exchanger to ensure the process reaches the
maximum efficiency.
This indirect adiabatic cooling process can be completed by a mechanical cooling system.
This mechanical cooling is provided by either a Chilled water coil (CWT and CWR configurations)
or a DX system (DXT and DXR configurations) with integrated or remote condenser.
The Cyber Handler 2 works in 3 operating modes depending on the outdoor conditions:
• Dry mode: when the outdoor temperature is low enough, the cooling is provided by the plate
heat exchanger only (adiabatic and mechanical cooling OFF),
• Wet mode: when the outdoor temperature is not low enough to allow the plate heat
exchanger to provide the required cooling capacity, the adiabatic system switches on to cool
down the outdoor air.
• Mix mode (not available for units with only adiabatic cooling): when the outdoor temperature
is very high, the mechanical cooling switches on to top-up the indirect adiabatic cooling.
The C7000 controller handles the changes between the different operating modes (see C7000
manual)

Refer to the order-related documentation for the specific configuration of your CyberHandler 2
unit (unit drawing, electrical diagram, refrigerant circuit diagram, technical data).
5 Delivery/Transport/Storage
5.1 Delivery of units
The CyberHandler 2 unit is delivered either completely assembled or in separated unit compo-
nents divided as indicated in the unit drawing.
The complete units and individual modules must always be transported upright.
When delivery is accepted, the unit is to be checked against the delivery note for
completeness and checked for external damage which is to be recorded on the con-
signment note in the presence of the freight forwarder.
• You receive the consignment papers with the delivery of the AHU.
• The shipment is made ex works, in case of shipment damages, please assert your
claim directly towards the carrier.
5.2 Storage
If you put the unit into intermediate storage before the installation, the following measures have
to be carried out to protect the unit from damage and corrosion:
• Make sure that the water connections are provided with protective hoods. If the intermediate
storage exceeds 2 months, we recommend filling the pipes with nitrogen.
• the temperature at the storage point should be within the range -10ºC to 50°C, and the site
should be dry and not exposed to direct sunlight.
• the unit should be stored packaged to avoid the risk of corrosion especially of the heat
exchanger fins.
5.3 Transport
When transporting the unit with a forklift truck, make sure that only the base frame or supplied
pallet rest on the forks and not the unit base.
Never stand beneath suspended loads, since there is always a risk that the lifting
gear, shackles, ropes or slings are faulty or damaged
All the local standards and regulations about crane transport must be observed.
The CyberHandler2 unit has several hoisting plates on the baseframe where shackles must be
mounted for craning.
Due to the risk of scratching the panels, we advise not to use chains.
Don’t remove the package until the unit is in its final position
In order to ensure a safe craning of the units, instructions here below must be followed:
• Mount the shackles on the lifting lugs on the base frame.
• Use crossbeams with the appropriate width to prevent the sling to rub against the unit.
• With weatherproof units, make sure the protruding parts of the roof are not damaged by the
lifting gear.
• Do not lift any other loads together with the shipment unit.
• Ensure the suspension angle doesn’t exceed 60°.

The minimum space necessary for installation, operation and maintenance is one unit width on
the operator side (see fig. 6-3).
OPERATING SIDE
If the unit is to be installed against a wall (fig. 6-4) or back-to-back with another unit (fig. 6-5),
fixing elements for modules connection must be located inside the unit (on the rear side).
OPERATING SIDE
If no ductwork is connected, a clearance must be left in front of the outdoor air intake/exhaust
air, as shown on Fig. 6-6 and Fig. 6-7:

6.4 Installation
6.4.1 Electrical connection
Before working with electrical wires, make sure they are de-energized. The electric
cables are only to be connected by authorized specialist
Specifications
Voltage supply: 400 V / 3 Ph / 50 Hz / N / PE / TNS / TNCS
Power supply cable: cable cross section must be chosen according to electrical
data of the unit (available in the technical data sheet on request) and adapted to local
requirements, laying and cable length.
Cable Connect to
Phase 1/2/3 Main switch L1/L2/L3
PE PE Rail
Neutral Neutral terminal (N)
Once connected, the cables must be secured by the pull relief screw.
Make sure that the phase rotation is correct, the rotating field must turn right!
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.
The power supply system on site and the pre-fuses must be designed for the total
current of the unit (see data sheet of your unit). Make sure that the power supply cor-
responds to the indications on the rating plate and that the tolerances according to the
“Application limits” are not exceeded.
In addition to this, the asymmetry of phase between the conductors may amount to
2% maximally. The asymmetry of phase is determined by measuring the voltage differ-
ence between the phase conductors.
Modules connection
All modules must be electrically connected
with each other (power, Communication; sen-
sors datas) by the means of the male/female
connectors.
Spray nozzles are situated in the upper module and the rest of water circuit is situated in the
lower module.
In units delivered in separates modules, the pipe joining the water pump with the spray nozzles
must be connected to the upper module by the mean of the PVC threaded connection (see
drawing below).
The sump of adiabatic system is to be connected to water supply (with or without water treat-
ment) and to water draining as shown on the drawing below.
Brass or copper parts cannot be used for pipe connection between a reverse osmosis
plant and the adiabatic system of the CyberHandler 2 unit.
Make sure the filling water flow is greater than the maximum evaporated waterflow,
available on the technical sheet of your unit.
Water quality is a very important parameter to take into account in order the adiabatic system
operates in a safe and reliable way.
For this purpose, the water used must be microbiological drinking water quality (in accordance
to local standard) and the threshold values of the following table must not be exceeded:

In order the siphon work properly, do not connect several water outlets to the same
siphon.
The CyberHandler2 unit can be equipped with chilled water coil (CWT/CWR) or direct expansion
coil (DXT/DXR).
Chilled water coils (for CWR and CWT models) are to be connected to a cool water production
system (e.g. chiller) according to table here below.

We recommend to insulate the pipes of the external system, if they come into contact with
external air, to prevent the introduction of heat from the ambient air as well as possible
Anti-freezing agent
An anti-freezing agent should be used if the water temperature passes under 5°C or if the out-
side temperature is less than 0°C. We recommend to add the following quantities of ethylengly-
col (indicated as percentage of weight of the water quantity):
For DX coil connected to a remote condenser (DXR) external pipe must be welded.
The connection piping must be connected to the CH2 free of mechanical stress.
Condensate tray (CW coil and DX coil) are to be connected to water draining, provided with a
siphon (see siphon calculation in 4.4.2).
All work on refrigeration systems may only be carried out by competent staff or by
STULZ customer service
For units delivered in several modules refrigerant pipes of each module has to be joined.
For this purpose, each pipe is equipped with a fixing part at the connection end. To join 2 parts
of a pipe, put the 2 fixing parts together (ensuring the O-ring is in the right position) and secure
it with the 4 M8 /125 x 40 screws (pre-positioned in the fixing parts)
O-ring
For units with redundant refrigerant circuit (DXR), a remote condenser must be connected to the
open refrigerant circuit of the unit.

The units contain an oil separator which is installed at the hot gas side of the compressor and
serves to recuperate oil in all operating states. The separated oil is injected on the suction side
of the compressor.
For the liquid line we recommend to install a non-return valve near the condenser, this avoids
the return flow of refrigerant in to the condenser and a possible low pressure error at the unit
start.
For the hot gas line we recommend to install a non-return valve as close as possible to the Air
Handling Unit. The non-return valve avoids the return flow of liquid refrigerant from the con-
denser when the AHU is not in operation.
Measures to take with hot gas pipes if the condenser is positioned higher than the Air
handling unit (for total pipe length up to 45m or total pipe height up to 15m)
• Ascending pipes must have oil traps every 5 m (see drawing).
• Install an oil trap at the end of horizontal gas pipes whenever the following pipe is an ascend-

Once the refrigerant pipes are correctly connected, the circuit tightness must be checked
according to the following procedure, in order to ensure there is no refrigerant leak.
Do not subject the compressor to dry air. Otherwise you risk a bearing malfunction!
• Fill the circuit with dry nitrogen until the rated maximum pressure is reached.
• Wait for 10 minutes and check the pressure value.
• If the pressure keeps constant, tightness is OK.
• If the pressure has dropped, the circuit must be checked for a possible leak, using a soapy
solution.
Connection points of the refrigerant circuit must be carefully checked, because most
of the leaks are located in these areas.
• Repair all the detected leaks and check the circuit again until the tightness is OK.
Before filling the compressor with refrigerant, make sure the unit is connected to
power supply
The nitrogen used the for tightness test must be removed from the refrigerant circuit
When the vacuum operation has been completed the refrigerant circuit must be filled by the
Schrader valve with the rated quantity of R410A refrigerant (available on the unit nameplate),
following the general rules here below:
• Before the system is filled with refrigerant, it must be clean and dry inside.
• Because R410A is blend and scrolls have discharge check valves, systems should be
liquid-charged on both the high and low sides simultaneously to ensure a positive refrigerant
pressure is present in the compressor before it runs. The majority of the charge should be
placed in the high side of the system to prevent bearing washout during first-time start.
• The standing refrigerant bottle is connected to the suction side via a pressure gauge station.
The weight is noted shortly before filling. The specified amount of refrigerant is now added
when the system is operating. During filling the pressure in the refrigerant bottle will adjust
to that of the system. Filling is then no longer necessary. This can be seen by the icing up of
the bottle or by checking the pressure gauge. The bottle valve must then be closed until a
pressure increase has taken place which is above the suction pressure of the system. This
process can be accelerated if the bottle is wrapped in hot moist towels or it is placed in a
water bath at a maximum temperature of 50°C.
R410A is a binary blend. Take care that you add refrigerant in a liquid state, as the
ratio of the refrigerant components changes if one of the two compounds passes over
into the gaseous phase.
7 Commissioning
The unit must be installed and connected in accordance with the chapter on
“installation” before initial commissioning.
• Make sure that the master switch is off and the unit is de-energized.
• Open the electrical compartment door of the unit using the key provided.
• Check whether all power switches and control-circuit fuses in the electrical section of the unit
are switched off.
• Retighten all screw connections in the electric cabinet.
• Verify the smooth function of the contactors.
Do not turn the adjustment screw beyond the end of the calibrated scale range, as it
may result in overheating and short-circuit at the consumer or in the destruction of
the power switch.
The controller is now supplied with power, so you can use it for adjustments.
The doors can only be opened with the key provided and represent a protective
device. During operation the doors may not be opened and the rear panels may not be
removed.
• Adjust the desired return air temperature at the controller.
• It is important to ensure that new compressors are not subjected to liquid abuse. If the
compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater, turn it on 12 hours before starting the
compressor.
• Start the A/C unit by pressing the Start/Stop-key on the controller.
• Check after 20 minutes operation, whether bubbles are visible in the sight glass of the liquid
line. If this is the case, refrigerant might have escaped by a leak. Check the circuit on leaks,
eliminate these and top up the circuit with refrigerant in regard of the chapter “Maintenance”.
• Check the oil level at the compressor in respect of the right level.
• The oil level should be between the lower quarter and the middle of the sight glass.
There is no oil sight glass in A/C units with speed controlled compressor.
• Check the current consumption of the compressors and the fans comparing it with the values
of the e-data sheet.
• Instruct the operational staff of the controller manipulation (refer to the controller manual).
In order to reduce legionella risks and increase the useful life of the plate heat
exchanger and adiabatic system, Stulz recommends using water treated by reverse
osmosis.
Check if your Cyberhandler2 unit must comply with local regulation about control of
legionella bacteria in water.

The system must be rinsed prior to filling, in
order to remove any solid particle or dirt.
The system must be filled with the fluid named Venting screw
in the design data sheet to the correct concen-
tration.
It is important to vent carefully the system to
ensure there is no air left inside which lead to a
reduction in capacity.
For this purpose, open the venting screw
located at the highest point of the cooling coil
(or open a separate one).

RO treatment is used, maintenance intervals must be divided by 2. If no water treatment is used, maintenance interval must be shortened
b this checking must be performed before the winter season (when adiabatic system is not in use) and during the season with the most
common demand.
c Internal parts of the pump are maintenance-free. In particular motor has greased-for-life bearings

ELECTRICS
If there are dirt and dust deposits in the heat exchangers, these can be easily removed, using
one of the following methods:
• with compressed air, in the case of dusty surfaces if there is a lot of dirt, but it is not firmly
attached, at the same time taking care not to damage the plates and seals;
• hot water or by using a detergent spray (e.g., Decade, ND-150, Chem Zyme, Primasept, Poly-
Det, Oakite 86M or the like) to remove greasy deposits, if there is a lot of firmly attached dirt.
Strongly alkaline or other substances corrosive to the fins or the seal should obviously be
avoided.
Use protection gloves to avoid injuries caused by sharp edges during maintenance
and cleaning process.
Do not use high pressure water to clean coils, risk of damage to the unit
Plate-fin heat exchangers are static elements inside the unit and there is no special mainte-
nance required.
It’s necessary keep coils clean in order to ensure its capacity is maximum.
Condensate pans (cooling coils only) must be cleaned with a neutral soap.
8.6 EC fans
Disconnect main power supply and wait five minutes before opening the device
The fans have an overrun time after the unit is stopped ! (Risk of injury)
The electronics housing of the fan motor can get hot.
It is recommended to perform a vibration test every 6 months in order to check correct balanc-
ing of impeller.
Cleaning of fans:
Use a soft cloth and water with a neutral soap to clean the fan (housing, impeller)
Specific maintenance operation on the adiabatic system is required only in the periods when the
adiabatic system is in use and maintenance frequencies depend on the type of water treatment
used.
The recommended maintenance frequencies are given in the table of the chapter 8.2. periodic
maintenance and are partially based on the VDI 2047-2 regulation.
Depending on local regulations (in particular related to legionella control), it might be necessary
to adopt specific maintenance measures and intervals.
Make sure you are aware of the local regulations and apply them correctly.
Make sure that all edges and corners are perfectly clean
Quantity - Check the sight glass and the LP switch (there is no LP switch in units with EC
compressor).
An insufficient charge causes the formation of bubbles in the sight glass or in extreme cases
the triggering of the LP-switch. 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.
If a leak is detected:
• let out the refrigerant in a collecting device down to a pressure of 1 barabsolut
• 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 barabsolut.
• dispose the refrigerant according to the national regulations
• fill the circuit with nitrogen to 1 barabsolut
• repair the leak
• the circuit has to be run dry by several (at least 3x) fillings and extractings of nitrogen,
eventually change the filter drier.
• fill with R410A according to weight (see type plate)
green → ok.
yellow → humidity critical.
Sight glass
Compressor
In the compressor there is an ester 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 ester
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 ester oil and water results
in the formation of acid. Owing to a hyperacidity, corrosive processes take place inside the
compressor. In this case the ester oil should be exchanged.
The oil level can be checked by looking at the sight glass of the compressor.
Units with a speed controlled compressor are not equipped with an oil sight glass. For
these units it is not allowed to recharge oil in case of refilling a refrigeration circuit
after a leakage. In such cases the compressor has to be exchanged.
According to a signal from the μPC controller, the inverter modulates the rotation speed of
compressor, in order to adjust cooling capacity to the actual thermal load.
µPC Board
In case of μPC electronic board replacement or updating of the software the inverter must be
configured according to a specific procedure (available on request).
Expansion valve
The refrigerant circuit is equipped with an electronic expansion valve, which controls the
superheating in the evaporator.
The superheating is adjusted to 7 K at the factory and may not be modified. The expansion
valve can freeze, if the humidity in the system is excessive.
Do not thaw by soldering flame, danger of explosion! Thaw with moist warm cloth.
Check the sightglass.
Switch off the unit at the controller and at the master switch. Switch off power con-
ducting cables to the unit and secure them against being switched on again. Discon-
nect the chiller from the de-energized network.
Dispose of the refrigerant in the unit in accordance with the disposal and safety regulations
applicable on site
The refrigerant may not be discharged into the atmosphere, but must be returned to
the manufacturer, if it is not reused.
The ester oil in the compressor must also be disposed. As it contains dissolved
refrigerant, it cannot be disposed like usual oils, but must be returned to the oil
manufacturer.
If glycol or similar additives had been used, this liquid also has to be collected and
disposed in an appropriate manner and may under no circumstances be introduced in
the local waste water system.
Disconnect the unit from the external water circuit by closing the shut-off valves and drain the
water circuit of the unit.
Move the unit, as described in the chapter “transport”, with a lifting device of sufficient load-car-
rying capacity.
Dispose of the air handling unit in accordance with the disposal and safety regulations applica-
ble on site. We recommend a recycling company for this. The unit basically contains the follow-
ing raw materials:
• Aluminium (profiles, heat exchanger coils, plate heat exchanger).
• Stainless steel (condensing tray, adiabatic sump).
• Galvanized steel (frames, panels, roof).
• Zinc aluminium (panels).
• Copper (pipelines, wiring)
The electrical and electronical components installed in the electric cabinet must be separately
disposed of according to the European directive 2012/19/EU. The concerned components are
marked by the symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin.
