  • Page 9: Networking

    (1) NETWORKING (1) It is possible to network up to a maximum of 8 units to a single LINKS 2. Since each unit is separately addressed, it is possible to monitor and control each unit individually. Different networking configurations may be achieved and are mostly dependant on the type of network present at the site.

  • Page 10: Wiring

    A and B. To network multiple units to a single Gateway, the units may be daisy-chained to each other using the network link terminals at the TB3 connection jack on the humidifier logic board. Refer to wiring diagram in section 10-50.

    Directly to humidifiers or through BMS network. (2) START-UP PROCEDURE (1) Ensure power is being supplied to the humidifier, Nortec Links Module and Nortec OnLine module. For BACnet/IP adjust network IP settings. (If this information is provided, factory will perform necessary IP assignment).

  • Page 29: Indicator Lights

    (1) TROUBLESHOOTING (1) When troubleshooting the communication process for OnLine and/or LINKS 2 modules should be kept in mind. Humidifier data is first received by the Nortec OnLine module using the modbus protocol over the serial port connection. It then forwards this data, via modbus/TCP, to the LINKS 2 module over an Ethernet link.

    When a BMS network demand/RH signal is being used the network must refresh the nviRHDem signal at least every 5 minutes otherwise the humidifier will revert to a 0 demand state. This is a safety precaution in case the BMS network connection is lost.
