1. Pendahuluan
The ICM-UA2L-24C-DUAL A2L Refrigerant Leak Detection & Mitigation Control is a safety solution designed to support HVAC systems utilizing low-GWP A2L refrigerants. This system provides reliable refrigerant leak detection and coordinates mitigation responses for equipment using R-32 and R-454B refrigerants. It continuously monitors refrigerant concentration levels with compatible A2L refrigerant sensors. Upon leak detection, the control board activates alarm and mitigation signals to reduce risk and support safe system operation.

4. Instalasi
4.1 Pemasangan
The control board is designed for secure mounting within an HVAC system enclosure. Utilize the four 1/2-inch standoffs provided. These standoffs are designed to lock into a 0.187-inch ±0.003 hole for stable installation.
This technical drawing illustrates the control board's mounting points, specifically highlighting the four 1/2-inch standoffs and the required hole size for secure installation.
4.2 Pengkabelan
Connect the 24VAC power supply to the designated terminals. The unit supports dual sensors, which should be connected to the 'SENSOR 1' and 'SENSOR 2' terminals. Alarm, fan, and control outputs are available via 1/4-inch quick connect terminals for integration with external mitigation devices such as ventilation fans or compressor shutdown circuits. Refer to the wiring diagram for specific connections.
This technical drawing provides detailed dimensions of the control board and labels for all wiring terminals, including common (COM), alarm (ALM), fan (FAN), normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and sensor inputs (SENSOR 1, SENSOR 2).
5. Operasi
5.1 Penyalaan dan Uji Mandiri
Upon initial power-up, the system will perform a self-diagnostic check. During this period, the power LED will illuminate, and other indicator LEDs may cycle. Once the self-test is complete, the system will enter normal operating mode, indicated by a steady power LED.
5.2 Leak Detection and Mitigation Sequence
When a connected A2L refrigerant sensor detects refrigerant concentration exceeding a predefined threshold, the control board initiates a mitigation sequence:
- Aktivasi Alarm: The alarm output (ALM) is activated, triggering any connected alarm systems.
- Aktivasi Kipas: The fan output (FAN) is activated, engaging ventilation systems to disperse refrigerant.
- Compressor Shutdown: The control output for the compressor is activated, shutting down the HVAC unit to prevent further refrigerant release.
5.3 Indikator LED
The control board features visual LED indicators to provide system status at a glance:
- Daya LED: Indicates the unit is receiving power.
- LED alarm: Illuminates when a refrigerant leak is detected.
- LED kesalahan: Indicates a system malfunction or sensor error.
- Sensor 1/2 LEDs: Indicate the status of individual connected sensors.
6. Pemeliharaan
Regular maintenance ensures the continued reliability and accuracy of the leak detection system. It is recommended to:
- Periodically inspect the control board and sensor connections for any signs of damage or corrosion.
- Ensure that the area around the sensors is clear of obstructions to allow for proper air circulation and detection.
- Consult the sensor manufacturer's guidelines for specific calibration or replacement schedules.
- Jaga agar unit terbebas dari debu dan kotoran.
7. Penyelesaian masalah
This section provides solutions to common issues encountered with the ICM-UA2L-24C-DUAL system.
| Masalah | Kemungkinan Penyebab | Larutan |
|---|---|---|
| Sistem tidak menyala | No 24VAC power supply; loose wiring connection | Verify 24VAC power is supplied to the unit; check all power connections. |
| Alarm LED is active without a known leak | Sensor malfunction; false alarm; high background refrigerant level | Inspect sensor for damage; verify sensor calibration; ventilate area and re-evaluate. |
| Fault LED is active | Sensor disconnected or faulty; internal system error | Check sensor connections; replace faulty sensor; if issue persists, contact technical support. |
| Mitigation actions (fan/compressor shutdown) not activating | Wiring error to external devices; external device malfunction | Verify wiring to fan/compressor control circuits; test external devices independently. |
