[Fig. 3] MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) RS-485 resistors DIP switch configuration LK1 = Line A pull-up resistor LK2 = A-B termination resistor Each MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) unit must have a LK3 = Line B Pull-down resistor unique address on the RS-485 bus. The baud rate must be set to 9600.
1. Safety precautions Before installing the unit, make sure you read all the “Safety precautions” The “Safety precautions” provide very important points regarding safety. Make sure you follow them Symbols used in the text Warning: Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent danger of injury or death to the user. Caution: Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent damage to the unit.
A 6A single gang fused switch must be provided in-line with the mains supply and be in close proximity to the MelCOMMS MINI enclosure. It must be clearly marked as the disconnecting device. The supply should also be fed via a 6amp type B circuit breaker in the distribution box.
Compatible Air-To-Air model numbers can be found in Appendix A of this document. Figure 1 shows the MelCOMMS MINI dimensions. Figure 2 shows the MelCOMMS MINI wiring diagram for connections to an external fault relay, high temperature alarm relay and multiple MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) units.
4. Getting Started 4.1. Unpacking The MelCOMMS MINI is supplied with the following components: Procon MelCOMMS MINI unit. 2x Procon MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) units. This installation instruction manual. Please contact your supplier if any of these components are missing. 4.2. Before switching ON...
5. Installation 5.1. Physical connection The MelCOMMS MINI has four screw holes on the base plate of the panel. These can be used to attach the unit in place. Please secure the MelCOMMS MINI before powering the unit on. 5.2. Power supply A double pole (Live and Neutral) 5A switch or circuit breaker must be provided in line with the supply to the MelCOMMS MINI power supply and be in close proximity to it.
The configuration is done using the 12x DIP switches, 4x digital inputs and 4x configurable inputs (which are fixed as digital inputs). To help installers who are already familiar with the PANEL_RS product the 4x digital inputs on the MelCOMMS MINI will be used as follows:...

DIP Switch Usage Number of units connected [1-1 | 1-2 | 1-3] Number of units running [1-4 | 1-5 | 1-6] Days between rotation [1-7 | 1-8] = 1 day = 3 days = 5 days = 7 days Temperature setpoint (ºC) [2-1 | 2-2 | 2-3] = 18ºC = 19ºC...
A communication fault between MelCOMMS MINI and one or more MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) units. A fault code read from any MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) unit which is not 8000 (8000 = OK).
5.6.4. RS-485 Comms Status LED Next to the DIP switches are two LEDs, one of these will constantly be ON and the other will flash to indicate successful Modbus communication with the MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) units. If both are permanently ON then this indicates no communication with the MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) units.
6. Control Functionality 6.1. Automatic Mode When the switch on the front panel is set to ‘Automatic’ the MelCOMMS MINI will perform Backup & Rotate functionality. 6.1.1. Backup & Rotate A common installation scenario is a number of split systems that operate on a cyclical basis, with one unit on backup to operate in case of failure.
6.4. Modbus Slave Test Mode MelCOMMS MINI can be put into Modbus slave test mode by powering the unit up with the 8 DIP switches 1-1 to 1-8 all in the OFF position. In this mode the MelCOMMS MINI unit will not attempt to communicate with any MelcoBEMS MINI (A1M) devices, the RS-485 port will instead be used to provide Modbus RTU Slave functionality.

7. Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution No power from fused spur. Check fused spur Unit does not power up, Check 230V mains voltage into power supply and Faulty power supply. power LED is OFF 24VDV output. Blown power supply fuse. Check fuse and replace if needed Fault code read from indoor unit Check indoor units for problems.
