Configuration options include:

 

 

• Fahrenheit or celsius display

• Alarm input polarity

 

• Compressor minimum on time

• Alarm enable

 

• Compressor minimum off time

• Temperature deadbands

 

• Power loss restart time delay

• Humidity deadbands

 

• Redundant unit grouping

• Small room delay

 

Common alarm contact. A common alarm relay is installed on every

 

microprocessor. In the event of an alarm condition, the relay will change

 

state. The user can select which alarms change the state of the relay. This

 

feature allows for remote enunciation of alarm status.

 

Run times. The major components within the unit (motor, humidifier, and

 

compressor) have independent run timers that monitor and store accumulated

 

run hours on the components. The run timers are provided with operator

 

adjustable run time alarms.

 

 

Security. Multiple security levels prevent unauthorized adjustment of

 

important system parameters. The user may select a four-digit password for

 

setpoint and configuration changes. Should the password be forgotten, APC

 

can provide temporary access.

 

 

Monitoring. With the addition of a network communications card the

 

microprocessor may interface with the locally installed APC remote

 

monitoring and control system. Gateways are available for interfacing with

 

building management systems. Please check with APC for compatibility with

 

your building management system.

 

 

Cool inhibit. Prevents the unit from over-cooling during the

 

dehumidification cycle. If the space temperature falls below a user adjustable

 

setpoint, cooling will become inhibited until the space temperature returns to

 

setpoint.

 

 

Cool override. A manual toggle switch will allow one compressor operation

 

in the event of a microprocessor failure. The cool override can be field wired

 

to a snap acting thermostat for cooling control.

 

 

Remote shutdown. Events external to the unit, such as activation of a fire

 

suppression system may require the unit to shut down remotely. Additionally

 

this feature may be tied into a BMS that would allow remote control of the

 

units on/off status.

 

 

Remote relay shutdown. Remote shutdown of the NetworkAIR system

 

can be done by a factory installed relay. The relay can be ordered with a 24,

 

120, or 240 volt coil. The relay must be powered by others to disable the

 

NetworkAIR system.

 

Overall cabinet

The frame is constructed of heavy gauge steel for maximum strength. Steel

 

access panels are insulated for quieter operation. The unit has been designed

 

for full service access from the front. The flush mounted panels are

 

removable using convenient quarter-turn fasteners. The access doors for the

electronic controller and electrical panel can be opened without interrupting the operation of the unit.
