Flow Switch. Set the location of the optional flow switch in this System. The flow switch detects if there is adequate liquid coolant (glycol or water) flow to maintain coil operation.

If the flow switch detects inadequate flow in a MultiCool or Economizer coil, it will switch the cool or dehumidify mode to the direct expansion coil. If the flow switch detects inadequate coolant flow at the heat exchanger it will disable the compressors.

The Flow Switch setting indicates where the flow switch is installed:

DX—for the water or glycol line entering the heat exchanger (to maintain head pressure in DX Systems).

Multi—for the chilled water input to the MultiCool coil or chilled water coil (Systems using chilled water only).

None—for air-cooled Modules with no MultiCool coil.

Cndsr Vlv. The condenser fluid valve controls the flow of coolant into the heat exchanger or to the Economizer coil. Set the condenser fluid valve as a three-way valve.

Note: Economizer valves are always three-way valves.

Coil Fluid. The coil fluid valve controls the flow of coolant to either the MultiCool, Chilled Water, or Economizer coil. Set the coil fluid valve as a three-way valve.

Cndsr Vlv: Floating

Coil Fluid: Floating

Cndsr Vlv. Set the type of condenser valve actuator; the actuator can be set as Flt Ctrl or None.

Floating Control maintains the position of the valve when the power is off.

None indicates that no condenser valve is installed. Air-cooled Systems with no external water piping do not require a condenser valve actuator.

Coil Fluid. Set the coil fluid valve actuator to Flt Ctrl, or None.

Floating Control maintains the position of the valve when the power is off.

None indicates that the Module does not have a MultiCool or Economizer coil.

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.
