Additional Common Alarm

Redundant group control. Allows up to six NetworkAIR units the ability to communicate with each other to automatically switch upon alarm condition, or timed rotation. Can also allow standby units the ability to assist the running system.

Remote display panel. The microprocessor controller allows facility or building-maintenance personnel to evaluate and control the unit from up to 50 ft. away from the unit, without having to enter the secured space.

Remote sensor(s). Environmental sensors can be strategically placed, up to 50 ft. from the unit to better meet the site’s cooling needs. The sensor must be positioned to permit air movement across the sensors.

Monitoring system. A PC-based monitoring application which provides single terminal monitoring and control for up to 120 units. The Windows- based operated program (except Windows NT) has status screens for individual unit conditions, mode of operation and alarms. The system graphically presents temperature and relative humidity over time. Temperature, relative humidity, alarm history, and other readings are stored for future use.

Environmental monitoring unit. A stand-alone unit which performs continuous temperature and humidity sensing through two available probes (one included) and contact monitoring. The unit is controlled by available web, control console, or SNMP interface with network connection. In the event of an environmental anomaly, notification is sent to the customer via e- mail or SNMP. The unit is 18.25" × 9" × 2.75" (464 mm × 229 mm × 70 mm) and sits in or on top of a rack. The probes extend up to 12' (3.66 m) from the unit.
