Subsequently, when the battery disconnector is activated (inlet +30), a check is made
of all inlets and outlets in order to detect possible short circuits and to adjust the
position of the foot-windscreen flaps of the Driver Climate Control Unit.
During the check the screen shows the message IRICONFORT CHECKING. In the
event that the air filters of the passenger and driver climate control units are saturated
the corresponding error message will appear.
If there are no problems with the filters the progress of the check will be indicated by
dots on the screen.

The pre-heater has two function modes: Normal Mode and Programmed Mode.
Normal Mode of pre-heater activation: In this Mode the pre-heater can function
automatically as required by the temperature of the motor or manually for a fixed time
period determined by the user.
To enter Normal Mode of activation of the pre-heater it is sufficient to briefly press key
nº 17. On doing so the Iriconfort will show the following screen:
30
60
90
120
MAX
There are three options selected by keys 5 y 6. The selected option will appear in
negative.
AUTO: In this case the pre-heater will activate if the temperature of the water in the
motor is lower than 55 ºC and it will de-activate when it goes over 75ºC. This option
only functions in CLIMATE CONTROL state and the action is HEAT.
OFF: This option disconnects Normal Mode, halting the functioning of the pre-heater
whether it was in AUTO mode or ON mode.
ON: In this mode the pre-heater will be activated for the length of time selected from
the right hand column using keys 12 y 13. It functions in any mode (Sleepy, Wakeup,
Active) and in the states of OFF and Climate control. After the functioning period is
over the AUTO option is automatically selected.
The MAX option activates the pre-heater continuously and it stays functioning until two
hours after switching off the +30 (stop the vehicle engine), or until the option is
manually deactivated.
Page 12 de 39
In order to enter pre-heater activation Programmed Mode press key nº17 for 5
seconds. The following screen will appear:
It is possible to have two different programmes which are distinguished from each
other by the number next to the pre-heater symbol on the screen. Once the first
programme is complete the second can be accessed by pressing key nº17 for 5
seconds.
For each programme it is necessary to introduce a day and a time which correspond
to the time when the desired heat level in the interior of the bus should be achieved.
That is, in order to find the vehicle warm at 8 a.m. this is the time that should be
programmed. An internal algorithm is responsible for calculating when the pre-heater
should be activated.
Select the fields DAY, HOUR, MINUTE and ACTIVATE using keys nº 5 and 6 and
change their values using keys nº 12 and 13. On selecting a field it is shown in
negative and in the case of DAY the selected option flashes.
Once DAY, HOUR and MINUTE have been selected the activate field must be put on
AUTO. In order to de-activate select OFF.
DAYS can be from MONDAY to SUNDAY and it is also possible to select 7 DAYS,
that is every day of the week.

Display Node: this is the means by which Iriconfort exchanges information with the
user, whether it be the driver, the installer or the service technician.
Driver Node or Keypad: This has two missions. On the one hand it is used to input
into the system the commands necessary for manual functioning, on the other hand it
controls the climate control elements of the driver.
Passenger Node: This controls the climate control elements of the passengers.
Each of these nodes is connected as follows.
I. DISPLAY NODE.

Control Modes (DEAD, SLEEPING, WAKEUP, ACTIVE) which depend on the voltage
in the inlets +BAT, +30 and Alternator (+15D)
Control Actions for CLIMATE CONTROL State: ACTIVATE, HEAT, DON’T HEAT,
DEFAULT, HIGH, LOW
The Control Modes of the Iriconfort depend on the voltage in the following inlets:
The following table shows the four operating modes according to the voltage in the inlets
mentioned above, as well as the characteristics of each mode.
Page 21 de 39
Sleeping
Wakeup
Active
OFF ( For modes Wakeup and Active ): Control keeps its outlets inactive (logical
disconnection, which does not signify 0V). It only carries out activation of the pre-
heater, its pump and the opening of the valves if the pre-heater programme requires it
and battery level is greater than 22V. For Sleeping Mode the control status OFF
leaves all outlets without voltage.
DIAGNOSIS: On entering this mode control de-activates its outlets and it is the user,
through the keypad, who can activate/de-activate, independently of the battery
voltage.
Page 22 de 39
If any of these elements or actions is made manually, control will display its MANUAL
screen, with the icon for the corresponding manual action.
In the case of the elements of the nodes, if any of them are activated manually the
AUTO led of the relevant node will switch off.
If the auto key corresponding to one of the nodes is pressed, the node will put its
elements on automatic and general actions will also be put on automatic.

The View screen allows us to see the state ( Active/Inactive) of each outlet and the
value for the inlets both in the Driver Node and the Passenger Node, when the system
is functioning in Climate control mode, without being able to modify its state.
If Iriconfort detects a problem in the pre-heater, the message FXX will appear on the
driver’s display/diagnostic screen after the RP text instead of displaying the pre-heater
active The numbers XX indicate the code of the fault detected which can be found
in the pre-heater manufacturer’s manual. The fault will still be displayed after the initial
diagnosis.

There are two types of error message. On the one hand there are those that are
shown on the screen indefinitely until they are corrected due to the fact that they
impede the functioning of Iriconfort, and on the other hand those errors – though they
should be corrected as speedily as possible – which do not impede the functioning of
the unit, as it is programmed to function in certain emergency modes.
Permanent errors are shown on the screen inside the bus outline as follows:
The text which appears on the screen corresponds to the error detected:
The errors which still allow Iriconfort to function, though in emergency mode and with
certain performance limitations, are shown each time the battery disconnector is
activated.

In order to check the functioning of the temperature sensors it is necessary to use the
following table which shows the relationship between the temperature and the
resistance which should be measured between the sensor’s terminals.
Temperature Resistence
-30 624,00
-20 684,00
-10 747,00
0 815,00
10 886,00

40 1122,00
50 1209,00
60 1299,00
70 1392,00
80 1490,00
Values not shown in the table should be inserted between the nearest values.
In order to check the correct functioning of the relative humidity sensor the following
procedure should be followed:
Verify that between terminals nº 3 and nº 5 of connector CN4 of the Passenger Node
there is 5 Volts DC.
Verify that between terminals nº 4 and nº 5 of connector CN4 of the Passenger Node
there is between 1 and 3 Volts approximately.
The solar radiation sensor is a diode and can be tested as such by measuring
between its extremes using a polymeter set for measuring diodes. It should show
between 0.5 and 0.6 Volts in one direction and an open circuit in the other.
Another possibility is to place it near an electric light source and check the voltage
difference between its extremes which should be approximately between 0.1 and 0.2
Volts.
Page 34 de 39
The following shows the most common faults found by maintenace personnel, and the
possible solutions.
Check the connection between the screen and the Driver Node. There should be 8V
between pin 7 of CN2 and chassis earth.
This means there is no communication between the Driver Node and the screen.
Check the connection of pins 3 and 4 of CN2.
Check that there is voltage of 24 V of +30 between pins 10,11, 12 and chassis earth.
Page 35 de 39
If the low battery symbol also appears on the screen it means that the voltage of the
battery is below 22VDC. In this case the climate control unit will not activate unless the
motor starts and the battery tension is above 22 VDC.
These leds light up when the bus’ engine is started. Check that there is 24V between
pin 18 of CN3 and chassis earth with the engine running.
Check also that the node has not been switched off manually.
This because there is no communication between the driver node and the passenger
node. Check CAN1L and CAN1H according to the connections on the circuit diagram.
• The passenger node will not go on automatic (the red led does not light or the
programmed temperature does not appear on screen)
Access the driver Diagnosis screen check if NP=1, if not check the voltage of power
supply +BT of the passenger node.
