The console provides communication (MODBUS-RTU platform), unit control, and system monitoring in one easy-to-use package. With the AirCare Console™ no programming is necessary to install a network. The console will automatically scan the network and the units/system can be configured through a simple menu driven format. The single zone AirCare Console™ has 4 models that can control up to 10, 25, 50, or 125 VariPhase/ACM addresses. Main Functions o Self-configuring upon power up o Individual speed adjustment o Global speed adjustment o Global set-back speed adjustment o Central monitoring of fault sensors (pressure drop on AC, RPM drop on EC type) o Menu driven configuration options o Monitors units and identifies error modes Features .. Easy wall-mount .. 4 access levels to control modifications .. Simple User Interface o 7-segment LED display o Dual rotary encoders for selection and adjustment .. Supports small to medium scale networks o RS485 (2 wire) o Up to 125 slave nodes Specifications • Supply Voltage : 8-13Vdc • Typical Supply Current : 90mA • Batteries : 4 x AA size Alkaline (option) o Battery Life : 30 hours • Network transceivers : 2-wire 1/8” unit load type • Operating Temperature : 0-40degC • Electrical Connections o DC Power Connector : 2.1mm DC power jack o MODBUS network : RJ45 socket Installation The AirCare Console™ can be mounted on a wall or any other surface requiring a DC source of power from a plugin source (supplied) or from the network bus (ACM1008). Connections to the network are made through an RJ-45 connection using CAT5 cable/connections. Power should be cyled after installation as the ACC1-xxx scans the network upon powering. Console Operation: Front Panel View Network Wiring A network is constructed by simple daisy-chain between the ACC1-xxx and the unit controls. Network cable requirements should be specified based on: • Distance between nodes • Total network length • Noisy electrical environment • Environmental conditions • Mechanical issues Pre-molded patch cables and customized plenum-rated cables are available from AirCare Automation. Upon power-up the console will automatically scan the network for VariPhase/ECM controls. ACC1-10 ACC1-50 ACC1-25 ACC1-125 Rev 1.2 3/14/07
