Chapter 4: E2 Controller

You may lock any of the status display screens, bypassing the display screen time-out function. This is sometimes useful to maintain visibility to a specific screen when testing, making adjustments, or troubleshooting the system.

Simultaneously press the program key and Enter key for approximately 3 seconds to turn the screen lock feature On or Off. When a screen is locked, it remains displayed unless you press the Up or Down arrow keys to select a different screen within the menu loop. A symbol () appears in the upper right corner indicating the screen lock feature is On.

4.5.2.5 Remote Supply Temperature/Humidity Sensor

The remote temperature and humidity screens appear if your unit is configured for a remote supply T/H sensor. The screens display the supply air temperature and humidity as measured by the sensor that is to be customer installed in the cold aisle. Remote dewpoint is calculated by the controller based on the remote supply T/H sensor inputs and shown at the bottom of the display screen. Values measured by the sensor may be used to control the temperature and humidity.

4.5.2.6 Discharge Pressure

The Discharge Pressure Status screen only appears if your unit is a water- or water/glycol-cooled DX system. It displays the current operating head pressure. Discharge pressure is managed by the system controller based on the input of the head pressure transducer.

4.5.2.7 Setpoint Values

Displays the current operating temperature and humidity setpoints and control method. If configured for dewpoint control, the controller displays the calculated dewpoint setpoints for dehumidification and humidification as derived from the operating temperature and humidity setpoints.

4.5.2.8 Compressor Status

Displays the status icon (On or Off) for the system compressor and shows the status of the high pressure and low pressure switches (Open or Closed). It also shows the current status (On or Off) of the compressor and indicates “Min On” if the compressor minimum off time has elapsed. If the minimum off time has not elapsed, the display will show “Min Off,” and the actual minimum off time will appear next to it.

4.5.2.9 EEV Status

Displays the current operating position of the electronic expansion valve. The current suction pressure and temperature and the superheat temperature appear below. The bar gauge next to the valve icon provides a visual representation of the output signal controlling the valve position.

CRDX-W-FS-12KW, Black Box Cold Row DX, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-24KW, CRDX-A-FS-12KW specifications

The Black Box CRDX series consists of high-performance cooling solutions designed to maintain optimal temperature conditions in data centers and server rooms. Key models in this series include the CRDX-W-FS-12KW, CRDX-W-FS-24KW, CRDX-G-FS-12KW, and CRDX-A-FS-24KW. These units are engineered to provide efficient cooling while addressing the rising demands of modern IT infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the CRDX series is its cold row design. This configuration enables targeted cooling delivery directly to the equipment, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The airflow management in these models ensures that cooled air is directed where it is needed most, minimizing hotspots and maximizing cooling performance.

Both the CRDX-W-FS-12KW and CRDX-W-FS-24KW models utilize advanced refrigerant-based cooling technology. These units are equipped with electronically commutated (EC) fans, which are highly efficient and quieter than traditional fan technologies. This innovation not only lowers operational costs but also creates a more comfortable environment within the data center.

The CRDX-G-FS-12KW model stands out for its hybrid capabilities, offering both chilled water and direct expansion cooling options. This versatility allows facility managers to choose the best cooling approach based on their specific requirements and current infrastructure. The hybrid system can optimize energy consumption and enhance cooling efficiency, contributing to lower operating costs.

Another noteworthy feature across these models is their intelligent controls and monitoring capabilities. Equipped with sophisticated sensors and control systems, operators can gain real-time insights into temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, and unit performance. This data aids in proactive maintenance and ensures that cooling systems are operating at peak efficiency.

The CRDX-A-FS-24KW, on the other hand, is designed with a focus on adaptability and scalability. This model can be integrated easily into existing network setups, making it an excellent choice for facilities that anticipate future growth or need to adapt to changing cooling demands.

Overall, the Black Box CRDX series exemplifies the latest advancements in cooling technology, offering innovative features designed to support high-density computing environments. With their efficient cooling capabilities, intelligent controls, and flexible design options, these models provide reliable solutions for data centers looking to enhance their cooling systems while reducing operating costs.
