Water chillers — S&A TEYU CW-5200 and CW-3000

Two water chillers cooling the laser tube and the CNC spindle.

Chiller

Cools

Type

CW-5200

Redsail laser

Compressor: can cool below room temperature

CW-3000

Portalfräsen

Radiator and fan only: cannot go below room temperature

Both chillers contain 230 V AC and 24 V DC wiring, and it is not obvious which is which. Unplug before opening.

  • Cools with two fans, a radiator and a compressor. Below room temperature, condensation forms on the hoses; the chiller itself is insulated.

  • Coolant: 25 % glycol, the rest distilled or battery water.

  • Local modifications: new pump and 24 V DC adapter (November 2020); flow alarm circuit rebuilt with LEDs, a 12 V buzzer, a 24 V relay and an 80 mm cooling fan (January 2021).

Alarms

Two flow sensors (Hall sensors), one on each outlet, are wired in series, so both need flow.

Alarm

Cause

Red lamp and buzzer

Blocked flow or faulty flow sensor

"Alarm out" on the back

Blocked flow or faulty flow sensor. Flow alarms only, not temperature alarms.

E1

Room temperature too high

E2

Water temperature too high

E3

Water temperature too low

E4

Room temperature sensor fault

E5

Water temperature sensor fault, or water above 70 °C

Buttons: RST, SET, ↑, ↓. RST confirms a new value; SET goes back without saving.

  • Change the temperature: press SET, adjust with ↑↓, confirm with RST. In intelligent mode this sets the difference between water and room temperature (F1); in constant mode it sets the water temperature (F0).

  • Parameters: hold SET + ↑ for 5 s until 0 shows, enter the password with ↑↓ (default 8), press SET. Pick a parameter with ↑↓ and SET, change it with ↑↓, confirm with RST. Leave the menu with RST.

  • Factory reset: before switching on, hold ↑ + ↓ until rE shows; it resets after 6 seconds.

Modified alarm circuit

Most 230 V cables are labelled. Red is generally positive; black and blue are neutral or negative.

  • The flow sensor signal (yellow wire) is 24 V at full flow and 0 V when blocked.

  • Buzzer: 7–15 V, 20 mA at 12 V, with a series resistor to drop it to about 12 V. 80 mm fan: 12 V, 120 mA. Two LEDs: about 10 mA. The resistors are rated higher than needed; the diagram gives the approximate minimum wattages.

  • Coil on pins 13 (signal, yellow) and 14 (24 V via the flow sensors, red).

  • Off: pins 1–9 and 4–12 connected. Energised: pins 5–9 and 8–12 connected.

  • Pin 12 carries 24 V for the lamps and buzzer, switched out on pin 4 or 8.

  • "Alarm out" on the back is wired to pins 1, 5 and 9.

  • Cools the water against room air with a fan and a coil. No compressor.

  • Alarms: flow alarm from one Hall sensor on the outlet; fixed alarm at 60 °C water temperature. "Alarm out" on the back appears to carry flow alarms only.

  • Wiring: original. The lamps are neon on 230 V AC.
