3. Starting the unit
3.1.
Starting for the first time
After having checked the connections, power-up the unit.
When started for the first time, the controller performs a LAMP TEST and uses the default values selected by CAREL for all the configuration parameters: Unit with
2 compressors + 2 fans + alarm relay.
3.2.
Unit configuration
The unit can be set as single or two circuit, the number of compressors for one or two circuits using parameter /01; the number of fans can then be set using
parameter /09.
The maximum number of devices, compressors + fans, is 5 (maximum number of relays).
First the compressors and then the fans will be allocated, in sequence.
Relay no. 5 may be:
•
an alarm
•
a fan
The selection is made automatically according to the number of devices (fans and compressors) selected.
If 4 devices are selected (e.g.: 2 compressors + 2 fans) relay 5 can be used as an alarm relay (default setting), while if 5 devices are controlled (e.g.: 2
compressors + 3 fans), output no. 5 is automatically used to control a fan. In addition, the use of speed control, by phase control or inverter, can be set for the
fans, managed using the PWM signal.

3.2.1.
Input configuration
Inputs from 1 to 4 are alarm inputs for the compressors and fans configured. If 5 devices are controlled by the unit, input no. 5 is automatically an alarm input (fan
alarm only).
The user can decide whether the alarm inputs are normally closed (the alarm condition exists when the contact is open) or normally open (the alarm condition
exists when the contact is closed) by setting parameter /14.
If 4 devices are connected to the controller, input 5 automatically becomes a multifunction input.
Parameter /15 can be used to configure the multifunction input:
•

Compressor outputs
4.1.
General settings
Parameters used for ON OFF control:
•
number of compressors
•
compressor times
•
type of control
The compressors are managed by the controller based on a pressure set point (parameter r01) and differential (parameter r02), measured by the suction probe.
In the case of two circuits, the set point and the differential also need to be set for the second circuit (parameters r03 and r04).
4.2.
Compressor rotation
Rotation (parameter r05) of the compressor calls ensures that the number of operating hours and the number of starts of the different compressors balance out.
Rotation automatically excludes any compressors with alarm or that are disabled.
If a compressor is stopped due to an alarm or has been disabled, another will be immediately called to satisfy the load.
In the default configuration, FIFO rotation has been selected.
Three different types of rotation can be set:
LIFO rotation
The first compressor to start will be the last to stop.
• Start: C1,C2,C3,C4.
• Stop:C4,C3,C2,C1.
FIFO rotation
The first compressor to start will be the first to stop.
• Start: C1,C2,C3,C4
• Stop: C1,C2,C3,C4.
This selection enables the rotation of the compressors so as to even out as much as possible the number of compressor operating hours.
Rotation by time
The compressor that starts will be the one with the lowest number of operating hours. When stopping the exact opposite is true, that is, the compressor with the
highest number of operating hours will stop.
4.3.
Compressor control
In the default configuration, “dead band” control is activated (parameter r06).
Proportional band
Proportional band control calculates, based on various parameters (SP, DF and the number of devices set) the points where the devices must switch on and off,
inside the differential band. Parameters r01 (set point) r02 (differential).
Figure 4.1 shows the activation points for a system with 4 steps.
Setting the parameters listed above, each individual step will have a differential as follows:
SP + 1 *DF/ (No. of steps)
SP + 2 *DF/ (No. of steps)
…
SP + DF
for the first;
for the second;
for the last.

Dead band
This type of control features the definition of a dead band to the side of the set point, within which no device is started or stopped.

µRack
The devices are activated when the measured value exceeds the limit to the right (measured value greater than SP + DZN, see Figure 4.3). The number of devices
to be activated varies according to the time elapsed outside of the dead band. The first device will start immediately, while the others will wait the set time
between starts (r07).
Similarly, the devices are stopped when the measured value falls below the dead band (measured value less than the set point), and remains there for a period
equal to the time between device stop requests. In this case too, the first device stops immediately, while the others wait the delay time between stops (r09).
Also see the paragraph on Time settings.
The program will switch the devices on according to the start-up logic configured and the availability of the devices

Compressor dead band with variable times
The user can decide to set a variable time between calls, depending on whether the pressure is moving away from the dead band. In particular, the activation /
deactivation time of the outputs decreases as the distance from the dead band increases. To set this function, the following parameters must be configured:
•
Maximum compressor on time (parameter r08)
•
Minimum compressor on time (parameter r07)
•
Pressure differential within which the time varies. (parameter r11)
•
Maximum compressor off time (parameter r10)
•
Minimum compressor off time (parameter r09)

Number of compressors started with probe 1 fault
In the event of a suction probe fault or not connected alarm, parameter /07 indicates the number of compressors forced on, so as to ensure minimum
cooling/operation of the installation.
For two circuits, the parameter relating to the second circuit /08 must also be set. This will be related to the probe in the 2nd circuit.
4.5.
Compressors with different capacities
Parameter /02 is used to choose the option of compressors with different capacities.
This allows more load steps and therefore finer control.
Once the capacity of the individual compressors has been defined (parameters /03, /04, /05, /06), the software, based on the requirements of the installation and
the compressors available (without alarms or timers), will calculate the most suitable combination to satisfy the requirement. Whenever the requirement changes,
the software recalculates the most suitable combination. The combination will always be greater than or equal to the requirement.
If two compressors have the same capacity, the compressor with the lower index will always be the first to start.
4.5.1.
Proportional band control with different capacity compressors
Based on the pressure, the set point and the differential, the software will proportionally calculate the capacity required to bring the pressure back near the set
point.
At the set point plus differential the requirement will be at the maximum value, while it will be null for pressure values around or less than the set point.
Capacity _ required =
Max _ Capacity × ( Setpoint − press )
Differential
4.5.2.
Dead band control with different capacity compressors
The software will calculate the maximum number of combinations possible with the compressors available.
At certain intervals of time (see the paragraph on Compressor dead band with variable times), the software will call a sequence with a higher capacity.
In the deactivation phase, the opposite will occur, while in the dead band no compressors will be started or stopped.
An increase in the requirement will correspond to a different combination.

Manually enable/disable the compressors
A compressor can be temporarily disabled from the control sequence. This function is very useful when needing to perform maintenance on an individual
compressor. The corresponding alarms are still managed.
The following parameters are used: M01,M02,M03,M04 to enable the manual operation of the compressors. The function is managed using parameters:

The hardware features of the µrack controller can be adapted for the control of a special type of compressor rack that is becoming more widely used in small and
medium installations, having the advantage of being compact and offering low cost solutions.
These are compressor racks with only the condensing section, and with fan speed managed by the speed controller or external pressure switches, and separate

Below is an example diagram:
This type of system can be controlled by µrack in the following conditions:

Outputs used:

Condenser fan speed control (PWM output)
5.1.
Fan management
The operation of the fans depends on the value read by the discharge pressure (or temperature) sensor.
One thermal overload is featured for each fan step. This has a settable immediate reset and will only be valid for the specific fan. In the default configuration,
“proportional band” control is set (parameter r21), and FIFO rotation (parameter r20).
5.1.1.
Fan control
Proportional band
Proportional band control calculates, based on various parameters (SP, DF and the number of devices set) the points where the devices must switch on and off,
inside the differential band.
Figure 5.1 shows the activation points for a system with 4 steps.
Setting the parameters listed above, each individual step will have a differential as follows:
SP + 1 *DF/ (No. of steps)
SP + 2 *DF/ (No. of steps)

Dead band control
This type of control features the definition of a dead band to the side of the set point, within which no device is started or stopped.
The devices are activated when the measured value exceeds the limit to the right (measured value greater than SP + DZN, see Figure 5.2). The number of devices
to be activated varies according to the time elapsed outside of the dead band. The first device will start immediately, while the others will wait the set time
between starts.
Similarly, the devices are stopped when the measured value falls below the dead band (measured value less than the set point), and remains there for a period
equal to the time between device stop requests. In this case too, the first device stops immediately, while the others wait the delay time between stops.
The program will switch the devices on according to the start-up logic configured and the availability of the devices

5.1.2 Fan rotation
The rotation of the fans, settable by parameter r20, is aimed at balancing the number of operating hours and starts of the different fans.
Rotation automatically excludes any fans with active alarms.
A fan with an active alarm is automatically stopped, and another will immediately be called, so as to satisfy the load.
Two different types of rotation can be set:

LIFO rotation (no rotation parameter r20=0)

• Start: Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, Fan4.
• Stop: Fan3, Fan3, Fan2, Fan1.
FIFO rotation (parameter r20=1)
The first fan that to start will be the first to stop.
• Start: Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, Fan4.
• Stop: Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, Fan4.
The rotation of the fans is implemented when called.
Various fan parameters
In the event of a discharge probe fault or not connected alarm, parameter /12 sets the number of fans that are forced on.
5.3.
Inverter management
The fan controller is enabled by parameter /10.
A minimum limit value can be set for the inverter (parameter r29), as a percentage.
To assist the start of the inverter, a time can be set, expressed in seconds, during which the inverter is forced on at 100%. This parameter is called “Speed Up
Time” (parameter r27).

Management of the fans slaved to the compressors
Parameter “/13” defines whether the fans can be activated independently or whether at least one compressor must be on. This is used to prevent the condenser
fans operating with high outside temperatures work when no compressor is operating. Typical application: cold rooms – cold stores.
Parameter “/13” default = 0 (independent control).
Inverter control
Proportional band
This control requires the inverter set point STPI to be set (parameter r18 ), plus an inverter differential RBI (parameter r19).
If the value measured by the discharge probe is less than or equal to the value of the inverter set point, the inverter output will be 0.
Between the inverter set point STPI and point C (set point + differential), the value of the inverter output will be proportional to the value read by the discharge
probe, and in any case not less than the minimum inverter output MinIn. If the value measured by the discharge probe is greater than or equal to the inverter set
point + differential, the output will be at the maximum value.
The control is not associated with any fan and can work without fans being configured.

Proportional control, set by parameter r21, may be proportional only (parameter r21=0) or proportional + integral (parameter r21=1).
Proportional and integral control (PI)
To minimise any deviations in stable operating conditions between the controlled value and the set point, typical of proportional control, a proportional plus integral
strategy (P+I) can be sued.
Cod. CAREL +03P220431 rel. 0.0 del 08/09/05 - preliminary version
15
µRack
This strategy helps overcome situations of stalemate in which the working point remains steadily at a value other than the set point.
PI control adds the integral action to proportional control. This action, when a control error persists, has an increasing effect over time on the overall control action.
The parameter that defines the integral action is the integral time (r22).
The default value is 600 s (10 min). The integral time corresponds to the time taken by the integral action, with a constant error, to balance the proportional action.
The lower the integral time, the faster the response of the control.
For further information, refer to classic control theory.
N.B.: Make sure the integral time is not set too low, otherwise control may become unstable.

Dead band control
This control requires the setting of inverter set point, the inverter pressure differential for “dead band” control (parameter r21) and the “inverter ramp up time”
(parameter r28).
Three zones are defined: activation zone DOnZ, dead band NZ and deactivation zone DOffZ, in which the program behaves differently (see the figure).
In the activation zone DonZ, the fans are started as follows:
The inverter is activated as soon as there is demand, with a value no less than the minimum inverter opening MinIn;
The inverter output is increased according to the times set by parameter r23.
If the inverter output reaches 100%, the situation persists
In the dead band NZ, the inverter output does not undergo any variation.
In the deactivation zone DoffZ, the fans are stopped as follows:
The inverter output is progressively brought to the minimum value, according to the times set by parameter r24.
When reaching the minimum value, the fans are stopped.

PWM-PPM management
On the controller, the “fan control” output generates a PWM signal.
This output is used to drive phase control modules that directly control the fan speed.
The output, depending on how it is configured, can generate a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal.
The example below shows two graphs representing the two modes.
In the graph, it can be seen that the request is 80% of the maximum value.

The PWM signal controls, for example, the CAREL FCS* series, CONONOFF, CON0/10A0 modules.
The PPM signal controls, for example, the CAREL MCHRT*** series modules.
ON/OFF fan control board (code CONVONOFF0)
The CONVONOFF0 modules convert the PWM signal sent from terminal Y to an ON/OFF signal. In practical terms, Y can be used to control a relay. Switching
power 10A at 250 Vac in AC1 (1/3 HP inductive).
PWM to 0 to 10 Vdc (or 4 to 20 mA) conversion board for fans (code CONV0/10A0)
The CONV0/10A0 modules convert the PWM signal sent from terminal Y to a standard 0 to 10 Vdc (or 4 to 20 mA) signal.
Calculation of the minimum and maximum fan speed
This procedure should only be performed if fan speed control boards are used (code MCHRTF*0*0). It must be stressed that if the ON/OFF modules (code
CONVONOFF0) or the PWM / 0 to 10 V converters (code CONV0/10A0) are used, the “Min. triac” parameter should be set to zero, and the “Max. triac” parameter
to the maximum value.
Given the range of different motors existing on the market, the voltages supplied by the electronic board that correspond to the minimum and maximum speed can
be set. For this purpose (and if the default values are not suitable), proceed as follows:
1. Set the fan inverter to always On. Force inverter parameter, M17.
2. Set “Max triac” and “Min triac” to zero.
3. Increase “Max triac” until the fan operates at a speed considered sufficient (make sure that, after having stopped it, it starts rotating if left free);
4. “Copy” this value to the “Min triac” parameter; this sets the voltage corresponding to the minimum speed;
5. Connect a voltmeter (set for 250 V, AC) between the two “L” terminals (the two external contacts).
6. Increase “Max triac” until the voltage stabilises at around 2 Vac (inductive motors) or 1.6, 1.7 Vac (capacitive motors);
7. Once the optimum value is found, it should be seen that even when increasing “Max triac”, the voltage no longer decreases.
8. Do not increase “Max triac” any further, so as to avoid damaging the motor;
9. Set the force inverter parameter back to AUTO.
The operation is now complete.
5.5.
Floating condenser control
If this function is enabled using parameter r32, the following parameters need to be set.
a) DELTA T (r33) (condenser exchanger parameter, typically related to the type of exchanger used)
b) Minimum condensing pressure (r25)
c) Maximum condensing pressure (r26)
The condenser set point is the value resulting from “DELTA T + Outside air temperature”, as with high outside temperatures the condensing temperature cannot
be too low (no possibility of energy savings). This is used to optimise the operation of the fans. The maximum and minimum pressure values are the range in which
floating control can operate.

6. Various settings
6.1.
Manual device operation
The individual devices can be activated manually, ignoring the times and the rotation, and independently from the temperature control functions, by setting the
related parameters Mxx.
The only support provided in manual operation is the alarm management function.
The manual activation of the speed controllers sets the corresponding outputs to the maximum value.
When even just one manual procedure is enabled, the “MANUFACTURER” icon on the display will FLASH!
If switching the board off and on again, the function is terminated.
Important: Use this function with care! Operating the devices manually may cause damage to the installation!
6.2.
Compressor hour counter and maintenance alarm
Parameter C07 is used to set the alarm threshold for the maintenance of the 4 compressors.
This parameter is expressed in the tens of hours, as the resolution of the display is only 3 digits.
Parameters C08 C10 C12 C14 are used to check the number of operating hours of the compressors installed.
These parameters are also expressed in the tens of hours, as the resolution of the display is only 3 digits.
Parameters C09 C11 C13 C15 are used to reset each individual hour counter.
The compressor maintenance alarm is shown by an alarm code, as well as by the simultaneous activation of the Maintenance and Alarm icons.
6.3.
Set point variation from digital input
This function is useful when needing to increase or decrease the set point during night-time operation.
An offset is added to the compressor set point when the multifunction input, set for this function, is closed.
The offset can be defined using parameter C16.
6.4.

Prevent high discharge pressure
This function is enabled by parameter /32.
In order to prevent the activation of the general high pressure switch (total shutdown of the compressors, with manual reset), a “prevention” function can be
enabled by setting a pre-alarm threshold; this function gradually decreases the capacity of the unit.
The high pressure prevention (Prevent HP) function is only enabled during the activation and deactivation of the compressors.
If the discharge pressure exceeds the threshold set (parameter /33), the activation of any compressors is disabled and a prevent alarm is generated. In addition, all
the compressor load steps are deactivated, observing the times set for parameter C06.
If the discharge pressure falls below the Prevent threshold, any other compressor start calls are ignored, for a set time called Prevent time 1 (parameter A13).

If between the start of two prevent cycles a time less than Prevent time 2 (parameter A14) elapses, the “Excessive prevent frequency” alarm is generated, A29.
The “Excessive prevent frequency” alarm (display only) is reset automatically, if, within Prevent time 3 (parameter A15), the prevent function is not activated again.
This alarm can be reset manually by the user, momentarily disabling the PREVENT function, using parameter /32.

7. Alarm management
The activation of an alarm, from digital input, causes the direct action on the devices involved, at the same time activating: the LED and a signal on the display. If
the compressors are called, the activation of an alarm on one compressor sends the call to another compressor.
The alarm information appears is displayed alternating with the value read by the control probe. If more than one alarm is active, the information appears on the
display in sequence. If the alarm situation is resolved, the relay is reset and the alarm message is cancelled. In the case of alarms with manual reset, the Reset
Alarms parameter (A19) needs to be accessed.
The alarm from digital input is typically detected when the contact “opens”, however the logic can be selected using the “digital input logic” parameter, /14.
7.1.
Alarms with automatic reset
When one or more automatic reset alarms are detected, these are signalled by:
•
Red ALARM LED on;
•
Alarm relay changes, if enabled.
Press the PRG/MUTE button.
If the cause of the alarms is resolved, the devices that have shutdown will restart normal operation, and the status of the signal devices changes as follows:
•
The alarm relay changes to normal status;
•
Red ALARM LED goes off..
If, in this situation, new alarms are activated, the initial situation will return.
The signal will remain active until the operator manually sets the reset alarms parameter A19.
7.2.
Alarms with manual reset
The compressor thermal overload (parameter /29) fan thermal overload (parameter /30) alarms can be set as manual reset.
When one or more manual reset alarms are detected, these are signalled by:
•
Red ALARM LED on;
•
Alarm relay changes, if enabled.
If the cause of the alarms has been resolved, the red LED stays on to inform the user that alarms have been activated during the day. In this situation, the alarm
relay remains in an alarm condition and the devices remain disabled until the user deleted the alarm messages using parameter A19.
If, in this situation, new alarms are activated, the initial situation will return..
If the causes no longer exist, the status of the signal devices changes as follows:
•
The alarm relay changes to normal status;
•
Red ALARM LED goes off..

If, on the other hand, the cause of the alarms is still present, the initial situation will return.
7.3.
Semiautomatic alarms
The low pressure alarm from transducer is a semiautomatic alarm. It acts as an alarm with automatic reset, however if it is activated at least 3 times within a set
time (default 10 minutes), it becomes an alarm that must be reset manually, that is, using parameter A19. This alarm obviously causes the unit to shutdown.
7.4.
Alarm relay
Based on the configuration (no. of devices < 5) relay no. 5 (multifunction) can be used as an alarm relay.
A delay time can be set (parameter A20) between the activation of an alarm and the change in the status of the signal relay.
If the time is set to 0, the activation of the alarm relay is immediate.

8. The supervisor network
µRack can be connected to the most common supervisory systems, using suitable interface boards and protocols.
In particular, the following data is exchanged with the supervisor:
•
The status of the inputs /outputs
•
The status of the devices enabled
•
Alarms present and active
•
Enabling of the devices, various settings etc.
In addition, this function allows the possibility to modify a series of parameters from the supervisor, such as: set point, differentials, times, unit status, reset alarms
etc. Also see the paragraph Supervisor communication variables.
8.1.
Serial boards
For connection to supervisory systems, the control uses the standard Carel RS485 serial protocol.
Serial connection options:
Product code
MRK0000000
MRK00000D0
MRK0000AD0

µRack with serial option FCSER00000 already FITTED by Carel
Communication protocols.
Communication protocol: CAREL.
To enable the correct operation of the communication protocol, as well as installing the board, a number of parameters need to be set, such as the identification
number (parameter /36).
Each controller must have the address set so that:
•
There are NO other devices with the same address on the same serial line
•
The addresses on the same serial line must be set in progressive order, starting from 1.
For further information, refer to the corresponding manual or contact CAREL.
9. User interface
The parameters are divided into 2 categories.
Display information that is NOT password-protected: show the values of the probes, alarms.
Display information that is password-protected:
1.
2.
3.
USER parameters (password 22 modifiable by parameter /40): set the main functions of the devices connected (times, set points, differentials);
INSTALLER parameters (password 44 modifiable by parameter /41): periodical checks on the devices, calibration of the probes connected, manual
operation of the devices.
MANUFACTURER parameters (password 77 modifiable by parameter /42): configure the compressor rack, enable the main functions and select the
devices connected.
Once the password is entered, it remains in the memory until automatically returning to the main screen, so as to make it easier to move around within the same
level of protection.
IMPORTANT:
To change the level of parameter protection from the keypad (from the MANUFACTURER level only), proceed as follows:
1. Once having entered the correct PWD MANUFACTURER, the system displays the string “S-P” (Set Parameters);
2. Then either press “SEL”, directly accessing the parameter menu to change the values or press “DOWN” or “UP” to display of the string “L-P” (LevelParameters).
3. If modifying the level, pressing “SEL” accesses the parameter menu as described, where parameters are scrolled no longer displayed with the
associated value, but rather the level of protection.
4. Using the same procedure as for modifying the parameters, change the level, choosing between the 3 possible levels available:
“_U_” :parameters visible at User level,
“_I_” :parameters visible at Installer level,
“_C_” :parameters visible at Manufacturer level.
10.
List of parameters
This table contains the list of all the parameters, with the corresponding description.
Parameter: description;
Type: (R) read-only, (R/W) read/write;
Pos.: position: USER-INSTALLER-MANUFACTURER;
Description: synthetic description of the parameter;
UOM: unit of measure of the value in question;
Range: range of possible values for the parameter;
Default: factory-set value of the parameter.
Notes: column available for user notes.
IMPORTANT: Not all the screens listed below will be displayed when scrolling the display; enabling a certain type of configuration will mean that new screens are
displayed that were previously not available. The display therefore depends on the initial configuration!

ON/OFF fan control board (code CONVONOFF0)
The CONVONOFF0 modules allow the ON/OFF control of the condenser fans.
The control relay has a switching power 10A at 250 Vac in AC1 (1/3 HP inductive).
12. PWM to 0 to 10 Vdc (or 4 to 20 mA) conversion board for fans (code
CONV0/10A0)
The CONV0/10A0 modules convert the PWM signal sent from terminal Y on the µRack to a standard 0 to 10 Vdc (or 4 to 20 mA) signal.
The FCS series three-phase controllers can be connected to the µRack without requiring this module.

Programming key (code PSOPZKEYA0)
The programming keys PSOPZKEY00 and PSOPZKEYA0 for Carel controllers are used to copy the complete set of parameters to the µRack.
The keys must be connected to the connector (4 pin AMP) on the controllers, and can operate when the instruments are either on or off, according to the
instructions for the specific controller.
There are two main functions, which are selected using the two dipswitches (located under the battery cover). These are:
• Load the parameters from a controller to the key (UPLOAD);
• Copy from the key to one or more controllers (DOWNLOAD).
Warning: The parameters can only be copied only between instruments with the same product code. The upload operation, on the other hand, is always possible.
To assist the identification of the key to be used, CAREL has applied a label that can used to describe the programming made or the unit that the data refers to.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The key can only be used on µRack controllers that have the same firmware version.
Refer to the programming key instruction sheet for further details.

Supervisor management
The controller can be connected to a local or remote supervisor/telemaintenance system for managing the unit.
The variables sent and received by the supervisor are shown in the tables below, with reference to the following key:

Glossary
Analogue value: integer value with minus sign and decimal point.
Buffer (memory): memory on the board used to save the default values selected by CAREL for all the parameters. Permanent memory, saves the values even when
power is disconnected.
Buzzer: buzzer fitted on the external terminals; this sounds in the event of alarms or the limits set for the parameters are exceeded. The Built-in terminals do not
have a buzzer.
Digital value: value with only two states.
Differential: defines a pressure (or temperature) difference from the corresponding set point.
Discharge: pressure or temperature measured at the compressor outlet. This is an analogue value.
HP : High pressure
Integer value: integer value without decimal point.
LP : Low pressure
Proportional band: this defines a temperature (or pressure) zone of a few degrees starting from the set point, inside which the system manages the control devices.
Range: range of values available for a parameter.
Step: defines an area of the proportional band (pressure or temperature) inside which a device is on, and at the same time also defines the device on/off values.
Set point: defines a pressure (or temperature) value to be satisfied; the system activates or deactivates the devices so that the value measured reaches the set point.
Suction: pressure or temperature measured at the compressor intake. This is an analogue value.
Upload: the operation used to copy the application software from the computer or programming key to the Rack.
