Programming

The ME0456 is a 4100U style Switch/LED display module designed specifically for fan control. It complies with the requirements of AS 1668.1:1998. It has rotary switches and LEDs for 4 sets of fans. In order to accommodate the required rotary switches, the front plate is joggled forward so that it protrudes through the trim.

The Fan Control switch positions of ON, AUTO and OFF, are permanently marked on the faceplate label, as required by AS 1668. The name area accommodates 3 rows of 6 letters at 5mm.

The labelling of the LEDs, ON, FLT, and OFF is marked on the removable fan name label card, LB0605, supplied with the module.

The card may be reversed and different LED labelling used, e.g. for damper controls.

A template version of this label is available as LB0605. This template allows entry of the fan name on a PC for local printing. LED names may also be revised.

The Fan Control module mounts to the frame of the 4100U-S1 Expansion bay door from the front, in a similar fashion to display modules. Mounting nuts and washers are provided.

Connection from “Out” of the adjacent Switch/LED module (or 64/64 Controller if it is the first module on that Controller) to “In” on the module is by the flat flexible cable provided (166-226).

The module is programmed as a standard 8 Switch/16 LED module. Up to four modules can be driven by one 64/64 Switch/LED Controller.

Each fan control with one rotary switch uses two of the 8 “switches”, and 3 of the 16 LEDs of an 8 Switch/16 LED module as per Table 2-1. The other 4 LEDs are not fitted so must not be programmed, since it serves no purpose.
