Set Up Group

Up to four NetworkAIR Systems can be connected to form a redundant Group. Joining Systems together to form a Group provides the following:

•Redundancy

•A way for other Systems in the Group to assist with the room load

•Demand fighting prevention (one System cooling while another reheats)

•System run time balancing

•Setpoint Sharing among Systems

•Alarm sharing among Systems

Group settings are copied to each System in the Group.

Note

Group config

Path: Main > Setup > Group > Group Config

The Group Config settings define the options to use in the redundant Group.

#Systems. Set the number of Systems connected together to form this Group. Setting the number of Systems to 1 disables the Group functions.

Setpoint Share. Enable or disable setpoint sharing among the Systems of this Group. When setpoint sharing is enabled, changes to the cool or reheat setpoint on any System in the Group are copied to all of the other Systems.

The humidify and dehumidify setpoints are always shared.

Note

Idle Blwr Spd. Set the behavior of the blowers for Systems that are in the idle, backup, or failed states. Systems that are not active (idle, backup, or failed) should maintain blower operation in raised floor installations to maintain static pressure and to keep cool air flowing to your data center equipment rather than up through an idle NetworkAIR FM System.

Dmnd Fighting. When enabled, reheat is prohibited for all Systems in the Group, when any System in the Group has a cooling demand. This prevents Systems from working against each other.

Grp Fire Alrm. Share fire alarms among the Systems in this Group. If the Group Fire Alarm setting is On, all Systems in the Group will shut down if a fire alarm occurs in one System. If the Group Fire Alarm setting is Off, the alarms will still be shared with the other Systems, but they will not shut down.

Central Air Conditioning System specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) is renowned for delivering innovative solutions in the realm of power management, but its contributions don't stop there. The company has also made significant advancements in central air conditioning systems. Featuring cutting-edge technologies and energy-efficient designs, their HVAC systems are tailored to meet modern needs while ensuring comfort and sustainability.

One of the standout features of APC central air conditioning systems is their variable speed compressor technology. This advanced system operates at different speeds rather than just cycling on and off. By adjusting the compressor speed to match the cooling demand, these systems optimize energy consumption, leading to lower electricity bills and extended equipment lifespan.

APC's systems also incorporate smart thermostat capabilities, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their air conditioning remotely. Through a mobile app, users can adjust temperature settings, create schedules, and receive maintenance alerts, all of which enhance convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, these smart thermostats can learn user habits over time, automatically adjusting temperature settings to maximize comfort and savings.

Another key characteristic of APC central air conditioning systems is their commitment to eco-friendly refrigerants. Utilizing low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, these systems minimize the environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards. With energy efficiency ratings that often exceed industry benchmarks, APC systems contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and help homeowners adopt sustainable practices.

The design of APC air conditioning units is also noteworthy. They are constructed with durable materials that withstand various weather conditions, ensuring reliability during the hottest months. Additionally, the streamlined design of these systems enhances aesthetic appeal, making them a suitable choice for modern homes.

In conclusion, the American Power Conversion central air conditioning system exemplifies the synergy of innovative technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. With variable speed compressors, smart controls, eco-friendly refrigerants, and robust construction, APC provides homeowners with a dependable and sustainable climate control solution. As demand for energy-efficient products continues to grow, APC is poised to lead the way in intelligent air conditioning solutions that prioritize both comfort and environmental responsibility.
