1. Introduction

“Xpress” has some limitations on selection.

1-1. Purpose of Xpress

1-2. Limitations on Selection

“Xpress” is a selection software for VRV and CMSQ systems.

“Xpress” helps your quick selection for quotation with easy operation.

1) The capacity correction factors corresponding to height difference between

outdoor unit and indoor unit are simplified. They are used depending on the

relative position of the outdoor units such as “Higher”, “Same level”, or

“Lower”.

2) Though you can input the exact height of the outdoor units, the value is used

only for checking the limitation of the height difference.

3) Capacities are not completely equal to Engineering Databook.

The Xpress uses an approximation formula made from the capacity table to

calculate capacity. Differences should be less than 1%.

4) Design temperature can be inputted outside the scope of the capacity table

range. Data input only has a range check. The actual check of the

temperature to be within the capacity table range is done during the selection.

Values outside this capacity table range result in an error message on the

outdoor unit.

5) The number of the control groups is not considered.

The number of control groups are limited by the number of controllers or less.

6) The sensible capacity is calculated from the actual total capacity, the bypass

factor and the fan airflow at high speed. Therefore, this calculated capacity

may differ slightly from the sensible capacity value of the databook.

7) The order of indoor units is determined by the piping layout. Therefore, the

wiring diagram does not always correspond to the field (actual) diagram.

However, they can be set equal by moving indoor units up and down in the

tree view.

8) The order of outdoor units does not affect piping and wiring diagrams.

If you change the order of outdoor units, the order will be changed on the

report file.

9) Some options are not displayed on the [Piping] tab and the [Wiring] tab.

10) We strongly advise to use the function “Enter individual piping lengths

manually” instead of relying on the automated piping length calculation by

filling out the “Equivalent piping length” and “First branch to indoor units”.

The automated calculation may result in a rough estimation. Therefore, the

correction of the capacity of the indoor units and the size up of the piping

diameters may not be accurate. Also, in this case there is no calculation of

the additional refrigerant charge.

1-3. Live update

The VRV Xpress software is equipped with a Live Update feature. Thanks to

this feature, the end user can decide any time to check if a new version of the

software is available, and if so, to download and install it.

Live Update Procedure:

From within the software, through the welcome screen (first screen you see

when starting the program), or through the about... menu, you can check for

more recent versions that are available:

Availability:

Live Update is available on all software programs that are available on

the Mantra II Server

If you are still using an older version of the software, we recommend to

download and install the latest version.

Never rename the executable file name of the program, otherwise

the “Live-Update” function will NOT work !

Note:

Technical cooling is only available for the Heat Recovery Range.

When the "technical cooling" function is activated, the system can cool a room

with an operation range starting at -20°C (instead of the default -5°C). A

typical application is the cooling of a server room. The only slightly

disadvantageous consequence is that the noise of the BS-box is a bit louder

when technical cooling is activated.

drop-down list.

Xpress selects the outdoor unit so that the combination ratio is equal or less

than the selected value.

5) Input the outdoor design temperature (dry bulb) for cooling and heating. The

temperatures should be chosen inside the scope of the capacity table.

6) Choose how to define the piping length:

If you want to calculate the additional refrigerant to be charged and a thorough

check on the pipe rules, click the [Enter individual piping length manually]

check box, and then you can input the individual piping lengths manually on

the [Piping] tab.

If you don’t want to calculate the additional refrigerant to be charged,

uncheck the box and input the equivalent piping length and the piping

length from first branch to indoor units. The pressure drop due to bends

and Refnets have to be included in this total.

*Equivalent piping length: the piping length between outdoor unit and the

farthest indoor unit. It is used to correct capacities of the indoor units.

*First branch to indoor units: the piping length between first branch to the

farthest indoor unit

7) Select the position of the outdoor units relative to the indoor units.

When choosing “Higher” or “Lower”, you can enter the difference in height

manually.

8) Click [Select Options] to select options for the outdoor units.

(See section 6-5 for details)

9) indoor total capacity (heating and cooling): Here the operational load

percentage is default set to 100. This is the sum of the capacities of all the

indoor units in the system.

Should you decide that not all these units would be in

simultaneous operation, you could decide to downsize

the installed systems capacity by the selected

percentage.

Needles to say that this is a delicate decision. That is

why the next message pops-up:

1) As a percentage of the total load (for both cooling and heating)

2) As an absolute value (kW) (for both cooling and heating)

3) By selecting the indoors units that operate simultaneously. In this case,

make the selection for the most dominant mode (cooling or heating)

In the software, the operational load can be defined in 3 ways

(1)

6-9. Change the Order of Indoor Units

The order of indoor units is very important for the piping layout.

Define the order in consideration of the actual indoor units grouping and piping

layout.

To define the order, recommended basic rules are:

- Create indoor units groups (e.g. units for each room)

- Change the order of groups based on the distance from the outdoor unit

(from the farthest group to the nearest group)

- Organize the indoor units in the group, by number (name)

Page 40: VRV Xpress_Manual V600 _tcm135-168625

units, drag and drop indoor units in

the system list window.

To insert Unit 1 before Unit 2, drop

Unit 1 onto Unit 2.

To move to the last position, drop

the indoor unit onto the outdoor unit.

Changing the order of indoor units

will affect the [piping] and [wiring]

diagrams.

Note:

Changing the order in the

[Outdoor Units] tab page has no

relation with the order of indoor

units on the [Indoor Units] tab page.

7-4. Printing large piping diagrams

When the piping diagram is printed in the report, it is always printed “shrink to fit

page”. For VRV systems with many indoor units, this results in a report where

the names of the units are no longer readable. Therefore, it is possible to cut the

diagram into several parts and label each part. Each part is then printed on

another page in the report, with its label in the sub diagram title.

The cuts need to be defined in the

[Piping] tab. You can define a cut by

clicking on the intermediate pipe part

where you want to cut the diagram.

Then right click and select “Enter

Subdiagram label”.

The screen “Enter Subdiagram Label”

appears, which allows to enter a label

for the subdiagram. Suppose we enter

“A”.

After entering the label, click “OK”.

The label “A” appears on the

intermediate pipe that will be cut.

Enter the other cuts in the same way.

It is advisable to create the .rtf-output

to see the result. If you are satisfied

with the result, save your project. The

labels are stored within the project.

Page 55: VRV Xpress_Manual V600 _tcm135-168625

55

In order to print the complete piping diagram again in the report, all the labels need

to be removed. To remove a label, click on the intermediate pipe that is labeled.

Right click and select “Enter Subdiagram Label”. The “Enter Subdiagram Label”

screen appears, with the label you have entered. Delete the label and click “OK”.

The label is now removed. Repeat this procedure for each label that was defined.

Afterwards, save your project to remove the labels permanently.

9-5. Step 1

Drag the outdoor units (one by one) to the „Control Groups‟ zone

9-6. Step 2

The total number of outdoor units (8) and indoor units (170) in the control group is indicated

Drag the controller

9-4. This example:

We added several systems with a varying number of indoor units. The whole site will be managed

by an Intelligent Manager, whilst some part of the building is controlled by one Intelligent Controller

and the other part of the building/site by another ITC in a so-called “Control Group”…

Page 61: VRV Xpress_Manual V600 _tcm135-168625

61

Possibly, also a global controller is required…?

Drag and drop the controller to

the „specific controller‟ zone.

Note that two ITC will be required.

9-7. The Wiring-tab

Access to wiring by clicking or

To control the 170 indoor units

two ITC and one DIII Net Plus Adaptor

Will be required.

Notice that the logic numbering of the outdoor units is changed…

The program will look for the best / most economical way to connect

a maximum of 64 indoor units to one Intelligent Touch Controller.

In this example, the outdoor units 2, 5, 3, 7 and 4 are connected to the first ITC.

Outdoor unit 2 has 34 indoor units; outdoor unit 5 has 30 indoor units.

This thus totals 64, the maximum for one ITC.

The DIII-adaptor will take care of the indoors connected to outdoors 3, 7 and 4

The second Intelligent Touch Controller will take care of the indoors that are connected

through the F1/F2 wiring to outdoor units 6 (16 indoors) and 8 (7 indoors)

Possibly, the whole site is also managed by one Intelligent manager. (global controller)

Number of indoor

units connected to

one outdoor unit

Page 62: VRV Xpress_Manual V600 _tcm135-168625

62

The selection software will thus automatically

Add units to a centralized controller.

To do so, it is very likely that the combinations will not

correspond to the physical location of the outdoor units.

Consequently the “F1/F2 OUT” cabling will need to be

routed according the sequence decided by the program.

This is not always possible or is not always convenient…

Thereto, a split can be made

Page 63: VRV Xpress_Manual V600 _tcm135-168625

63

9-8. Add a split in the central control

1) Select the unit above which

you want to add the split in

the system

2) Click on “Add Split”

Using this possibility, we refuse the

optimum result proposed by the

software…

This results into the need for two ITC

but furthermore also two DIII

adaptors !

To remove the split:

Select the split by clicking on it and then “Remove Split”

You can move a unit to “above the split”

or to “below the Split” by selecting the unit

and then use the arrow buttons.

9-10. Lonworks

The more control points selected,

The less indoor units can be connected

to the LON interface

24 SNV / unit x 64 units = 1536

+ 7 General SNVT‟s

1543

However, only 300 of them can be

used due to LON bus restrictions

(to guarantee data transmission)!

More SNVT‟s* = Less indoors

Default setting: 7 SNVT / indoor

(300 – 7) / 7 = max 41 indoors

on one F1/F2 circuit

Default

selection

* SNV: Standard Network Variables = control points

** SNVT‟s: [snivits] Standard Network Variable Types A standard refresh rate of 30 seconds is used.

… to change the name

of the control group.

… to select the options

for the controller.

9-9. The Controller Details

Page 65: VRV Xpress_Manual V600 _tcm135-168625

65

Edit indoor and allow to deselect the group address setting

9-11. Preferences screen

In the advances tab of the preferences screen

the default setting is that all indoor units receive

a group address.

Even if you would decide that indoor units work

as master/slave on one remote controller, every

indoor should still get its group address.

If you would decide otherwise, Proportional

Power Distribution (PPD) and possible error

codes for non-addressed indoors cannot be

allocated to the particular indoor unit.

If you would deselect this item, the following indoor

listing would be seen. If you select a single unit from

that list, you can individually edit it (double click)

to make the group address choice.
