*1. Manual step mode by Modbus:
• AHU local controller can send " capacity steps" and "operation mode" by Modbus communication to the interface unit.
• Do NOT send " temperature set point" or "Drive ON/ OFF".
• DIP SW 1-1 to 1-3, and SW6 are as follows. Regarding other settings, refer to the section 2 and the installation manual.
Input type SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3 SW6-1 SW6-2
Modbus ON ON ON OFF OFF
*2. Auto step mode by Modbus:
•
AHU local controller can send " Drive ON/ OFF", "operation mode", and "temperature set point" by Modbus communication to the interface unit.
• Do NOT send " capacity request".
• DIP SW 1-1 to 1-3, and SW6 are as follows. Regarding other settings, refer to the section 2 and the installation manual.
Input type SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3 SW6-1 SW6-2
No input (Auto step mode) OFF ON ON OFF OFF
*3. Regarding thermistor positions, refer to the installation manual.
*4. Intelligent multiple outdoor unit control by Modbus:
• Input "capacity steps" signal and "operation mode" signal to the main interface unit (which connects to the ref. address 0 outdoor unit)
• Monitoring operation status of all interfaces is available. In this case, connecting to all interface units with Modbus cable is needed.
• Setting DIP SW3-6 to SW3-8, and SW4 of sub interfaces is necessary when monitering sub interfaces.
• Regarding intelligent multiple outdoor unit control, refer to the installation manual.
*5. It is recommended to select Intelligent multiple outdoor unit control.
Design local AHU controller to make sure the following points.
• Minimum capacity request should be 20% or more of total capacity.
• Operate all outdoor units when outdoor temperature is below -15 °C.
