Operation: Respond to Alarms

Displayed Alarm Message

Action Required

 

 

Env Temperature Low

• Verify that no supply air is fed directly back into the return air.

 

• Ensure that the alarm delay is not set too low. The delay should be long

 

enough to allow the room temperature to stabilize after start-up.

 

• Verify that the temperature alarm threshold for the environmental (return or

 

remote) sensors is below the cool and reheat setpoints.

 

• Verify that the Module is configured and equipped for the reheat mode.

 

• Ensure that the reheat mode is enabled (if your Module is equipped with

 

reheat).

 

• Ensure that the reheat mode is not disabled because of an active user-defined

 

input mapped to nonessential lockout.

 

 

Fire Detected

• Follow the appropriate facility emergency protocol. NOTE: The purpose of

 

the fire sensor is to warn you of possible equipment damage. It is NOT

 

intended to provide a fire alarm system to protect the facility and the lives of

 

its occupants.

 

• Confirm that the wiring connections are secured to the wiring harness.

 

• Verify the setting of the fire detector (fire stat).

 

• Replace the fire detector (fire stat).

 

 

Fluid Coil Actuator Fail

• Verify that the connections between the actuator and the controller board are

 

correct and securely tightened.

 

• Confirm that the control voltage and signal voltage reach the actuator.

 

• Ensure that the proper Module configuration is defined for this Module,

 

especially that the coil configuration and the actuator type are correct.

 

• Replace the Coil Fluid Actuator.

 

 

Group Configuration Invalid

• Check that the # Systems setting (Path: Main > Setup > Group > Group

 

Config) agrees with the actual number of Systems connected to the Group.

 

Increase this setting to match the number of connected Systems.

 

 

Group Configuration Conflict

• Verify the Group configuration settings (Path: Main > Setup > Group) are

 

correct. The Group detected one or more Systems in the Group to have

 

different Group configuration settings and changed that System’s settings.

 

 

Group Fatal Fire Shutdown

• Check the Systems in this Group for fire alarms. The Group Fatal Fire

 

Shutdown occurs only when the Group Fire Alarm configuration setting

 

(Path: Main > Setup > Group Config > Grp Fire Alrm) is On. While the

 

fire alarm is active, the Group will remain shut down.

 

 

Group Fatal Smoke Shutdown

• Check the Systems in this Group for smoke alarms. The Group Fatal Smoke

 

Shutdown occurs only when the Group Smoke Alarm configuration setting

 

(Path: Main > Setup > Group Config > Grp Smoke Alrm) is On. While

 

the smoke alarm is active, the Group will remain shut down.

 

 

Heater Requires Maintenance

• Verify the operation of the heater and perform preventive maintenance.

 

• Reset the maintenance alarm on the display interface for the heater.

 

 

Humidifier Current High

• Verify that the proper voltage is applied to the humidifier cylinder.

 

• Confirm that the line voltage connections to the cylinder are secure and

 

correct.

 

• Ensure that the humidifier water supply has not been conditioned.

 

Conditioning can increase the water conductivity.

 

• Check the humidifier cylinder for mineral buildup that bridges the electrodes.

 

• Check the fill and drain valves for leaks.

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.
