Geist Policy on Conflict Minerals
This document details Geist’s corporate policy regarding the use of conflict minerals.
The policy expressed in this document should be considered to cover the Geist and
Geist Europe divisions of PCE Inc.
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act which was passed by the US Congress in 2010
requires certain companies to annually disclose their use of conflict minerals. Conflict
minerals covered under this act include tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.

ClosetAir Installation Manual6

GM1159 ClosetAir Installation Manual
Although Geist is not directly subjected to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act,
Geist recognizes that all companies within the electronics manufacturing industry
supply chain are impacted by this legislation. Geist supports the intent of the law,
which is the reduction of violence within the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will
take several actions to both advance the goals of the Dodd-Frank Act and to provide
exceptional support to our customers.
·Geist will work with our direct suppliers to identify purchased components and
materials that contain tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold.
·Geist will work with our direct suppliers to trace sources of any tin, tantalum,
tungsten or gold used in our products back to the smelter.
·Geist will document our efforts to trace tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold minerals
back to the smelter and will accurately report the results to our customers.
·Geist will continue to monitor industry progress in identifying conflict-free smelters
and will adjust corporate policy as the electronics supply chain becomes more fully
documented.
Geist will not require that our direct suppliers source only conflict-free minerals until an
adequate number of smelters has been reliably identified and audited by The Electronic
Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) to
service the electronic industry supply chain. Mandating a conflict-free supply chain
before an adequate number of smelters has been identified will prohibit the use of all
tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
and surrounding countries. This prohibition would cut off the sole income source for
many artisanal miners within the region and may result in increased violence within the
Democratic Republic of the Congo in direct opposition to the goals of the Dodd-Frank
Act. Geist will work continuously with our direct suppliers in order to annually increase
the percentage of documented conflict-free minerals that are used in our products until
all products can be certified as conflict-free.
WEEE Declaration
Geist Europe is obligated to finance the cost of the collection, treatment, recovery and
environmentally sound disposal of all products sold by Geist Europe into the UK market
this includes:
·New WEEE (displaying ‘the crossed out wheeled bin symbol’) that Geist Europe has

·Historic WEEE (not displaying ‘the crossed out wheeled bin symbol’), when Geist
Europe is supplying new WEEE that is intended to replace the historic WEEE and is
of equivalent type or fulfills the same function even if the historic WEEE was
manufactured by a third party.

Overview
The RAC10 system evacuates heat load from a small space and sends it to the outside corridor or
ceiling plenum return. The RAC10 system provides control and monitoring via a built-in web server.
Web pages and graphs, generated by the RAC10, are used to monitor environmental conditions
and unit settings. No software other than a web browser is required for operation and several data
formats are available. The RAC10 system includes one internal temperature sensor, two external
temperature sensors, and ports for two additional (optional) external temperature sensors.

Initial Setup
Install a CAT5 Ethernet cable between the RAC10 and the computer being used for device
configuration. If connecting directly to the RAC10 and not going through a hub, switch, or router, a
crossover cable may be required.
Data Formats
HTML, SNMP, CSV/Plain Text, XML.
Accessing Web Server
Default IP Address
The RAC10 has a default IP address for initial setup and access to the unit if the assigned address is
lost or forgotten.
IP Address: 192.168.123.123
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.123.1
Reset to factory default IP address procedure
To restore the default IP address, press and hold the reset button located below the network connector
for 20 seconds. The reset button is accessed through the white, circular hole located below the
Ethernet jack.
Using a probe (even a medium size paper clip, straightened) place through the hole below the Ethernet
jack (RJ45) to locate the soft feel push switch on the circuit board. You should be able to feel a slight
click when you have it depressed.
Once the unit has rebooted, you will be able to connect (via crossover cable) using IP address
192.168.123.123, the factory default. Now you can set up all parameters as detailed in Unit
Configuration.
NOTE
Pressing the reset button under the network connector will restore the
default IP address and will also clear all password settings.
