Building management

Path: Main > Setup > System # > System Config > Building Management

If you are using a building management system with your Module, you must set the following values:

Address. The address of the Main Module on the RS-485 bus.

Baud Rate. The baud rate for the RS-485 bus.

Parity. The parity for the RS-485 bus.

Stop Bits. The stop bits for the RS-485 bus.

See the NetworkAIR FM DX 60 Hz Installation manual to wire the electrical connections of the building management system to the RS-485 bus of the Module.

Sensor setup

Path: Main > Setup > System # > System Config > Sensor Setup

Specify the set of sensors the Module will use to calculate the environmental control demands.

Temp/Hum Snsrs. Choose the set of temperature and humidity sensors the controller will use when determining the need for environmental control. The return sensors and the remote sensor string are available.

Note: Any optional remote temperature and humidity probes installed must be supported by the NetworkAIR FM DX.

Dflt Snsrs. Choose the sensor group that the System will use when the System settings are reset to their default values.

Rmt Snsr Data. When determining the environmental controls, choose the measurement from the remote sensors for the controller to use.

Max—Use the maximum value reported by a sensor on the string.

Avg—Use the average reported values of all of the sensors on the string.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations. Efficient thermal management reduces the risk of overheating, keeping valuable equipment operating optimally. This is particularly crucial in data centers where heat generated by servers can create potential disruptions.

Another significant characteristic of the DX,FM series is its sophisticated monitoring and management capabilities. Integrated with state-of-the-art software, users can gain remote access to their UPS units, enabling real-time tracking of performance metrics. This remote monitoring capability allows administrators to proactively manage power usage and ensure that systems are operating within safe parameters.

Furthermore, the DX,FM series is designed with a high level of redundancy. This built-in reliability feature ensures that if one unit fails, others can seamlessly take over, maintaining power supply continuity. This is critical for mission-critical environments where power outages could result in substantial financial losses or data loss.

In summary, the American Power Conversion DX,FM series incorporates modularity, advanced battery technology, effective cooling solutions, and sophisticated monitoring features to deliver an ideal power management solution for various organizations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, making it an essential investment for any business looking to safeguard its operations against power disruptions.
