There are seven possible alarms (non-latching) detectable by the controller and are indicated on the controller display. All alarms are accessible locally. If a nVent HOFFMAN network card (RAC module) is used, alarms are also accessible remotely through the Ethernet and USB connection.
5. Any unit that loses communication with the primary unit will enter standalone mode and continue operating based on its own temperature probe until communication is re-established. 6. All temperature setpoints and alarms can be viewed remotely if one of the ACUs is equipped with nVent HOFFMAN network card (RAC module).
ACU1 and ACU2 will automatically alternate every cycle. AIR CONDITIONER UNIT REMOTE COMMUNICATION FEATURES Air conditioners that include the optional nVent HOFFMAN network card (RAC module) have remote communication capabilities utilizing SNMP, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, Profinet Protocol via Ethernet connection, and Modbus RTU protocol via USB connection.
USING NVENT HOFFMAN PC INTERFACE TOOL nVent HOFFMAN PC Interface Tool gives the user the ability to communicate with nVent HOFFMAN air conditioning unit as to read and write air temperature data, high and low temperature alarm setting, active alarms, and other information from the controller remotely using either Ethernet or USB connection.
To view and change the ethernet card (RAC) information • In the nVent HOFFMAN A.C. Monitor main screen, select Single ACU Ethernet Info tab and notice that the Reprogram ACU button is disabled. • Click on Read Ethernet Info button, the Ethernet information will be displayed and the Reprogram ACU button is enable.
A/C units configure in the same subnet in the network. Refer to remote access control (RAC) Instruction Manual for configuring multiple units and with text message and email capability in nVent HOFFMAN A.C. Monitor software.
MAINTENANCE Performing preventative maintenance (PM) helps to keep your nVent HOFFMAN AC unit operating at the highest most efficient levels. Maintenance should be performed at least twice a year, more frequently when in challenging conditions, such as dusty, high humidity, high heat, oily or corrosive environments.
