2.EU DIRECTIVE

2.1CE marking

The CE marking on the product guarantees the free movement of the product within the EEA (European Economic Area). It also guarantees that the product meets the various requirements placed upon it (such as the EMC Directive and possibly other directives according to the so-called new procedure).

NXL frequency converters carry the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). The company SGS FIMKO has acted as the Competent Body.

2.2EMC directive

2.2.1General

The EMC Directive provides that the electrical apparatus must not excessively disturb the environment they are used in, and, on the other hand, it shall have an adequate level of immunity toward other disturbances from the same environment.

The compliance of NXL frequency converters with the EMC directive is verified with Technical Construction Files (TCF) checked and approved by SGS FIMKO, which is a Competent Body.

2.2.2Technical criteria

EMC compliance is a major consideration for NXL drives from the outset of the design. NXL frequency converters are marketed throughout the world, a fact which makes the EMC requirements of customers different. All NXL frequency converters are designed to fulfil even the strictest immunity requirements.

2.2.3NXL frequency converter EMC classification

NXL frequency converters are divided into two classes according to the level of electromagnetic disturbances emitted. Later in this manual the division is made according to the mechanical sizes (MF2, MF3, etc.). The technical data of the different sizes can be found in Chapter 0.

Class C (NXL HVAC IP54):

NXL HVAC drives with IP54 enclosure are delivered as class C products with an integrated RFI filter. NXL HVAC drives IP54 selection fulfil the requirements of the product standard EN 61800-

3 (2004) category C1 (EN 55011 class B).

The emission levels correspond to the requirements of EN 61000-6-3.

Class N (NXL Compact):

No EMC emission protection. NXL Compact drives (frames MF2 and MF3) are delivered from the factory without an integrated RFI filter as class N products. External RFI filters for these products for class H are available.

Class H (NXL HVAC IP21):

NXL HVAC drives with IP21 enclosure are delivered as class H products with an integrated RFI filter. NXL HVAC drives IP21 selection fulfil the requirements of the product standard EN 61800-

3 (2004) category C2 (EN 55011 class A).

The emission levels correspond to the requirements of EN 61000-6-4.

Class T:

The T-class converters have a small earth current and can be used with IT supplies only. If they are used with other supplies no EMC requirements are complied with.

NXL specifications

Honeywell NXL is an advanced building management system designed to optimize the efficiency of HVAC, lighting, and security systems within commercial buildings. It incorporates cutting-edge technologies to enhance operational performance, improve energy savings, and provide a comfortable environment for occupants.

One of the standout features of Honeywell NXL is its integration capabilities. The system allows seamless connections between various subsystems, facilitating a unified approach to building management. This interoperability means that data from different systems can be aggregated, analyzed, and applied to enhance overall building performance.

The Honeywell NXL employs a user-friendly interface that empowers facility managers to easily navigate through critical information. The intuitive dashboard offers real-time analytics and visualizations, providing insights into energy consumption, system performance, and occupant comfort. Users can quickly identify inefficiencies and make informed decisions to improve operational effectiveness.

In terms of technologies, Honeywell NXL utilizes IoT connectivity, which enables devices and systems within the building to communicate with one another. This connectivity allows for remote monitoring and control, which is essential for effective facility management. By leveraging IoT technology, facility managers can receive alerts, conduct diagnostics, and perform maintenance proactively, reducing equipment downtime and avoiding costly repairs.

Another significant characteristic of the Honeywell NXL is its robust data analysis capabilities. The system collects vast amounts of data from sensors and connected devices, which is then processed to identify patterns and trends. This analytical approach not only aids in energy management but also enhances occupant comfort by adjusting parameters in real-time based on occupancy and environmental conditions.

Energy management is a critical issue for modern buildings, and Honeywell NXL addresses this with advanced optimization strategies. The system can implement demand response capabilities, adjusting energy usage based on peak periods or grid demands, ultimately saving costs and reducing environmental impact.

Moreover, Honeywell NXL places a strong emphasis on security features. Its design includes integrated surveillance and access control systems, ensuring the safety of occupants while facilitating efficient access management.

In summary, Honeywell NXL is a comprehensive building management solution that combines user-friendly design, IoT connectivity, advanced data analytics, energy optimization, and enhanced security features. Its ability to integrate various building systems makes it an essential tool for contemporary facility management, promoting efficiency and sustainability in building operations.
