Remote Access Control (Optional) See Remote Access Control (Optional) on page 24. Head Pressure Control Unit is set at the factory, no adjustment necessary. At a saturated condenser temperature of 85°F (95 psig), the condenser fans will power off. At a saturated condenser temperature of 118°F (165 psig), the condenser fans will power on.
Cooling/heating setpoint, cooling/heating differential and high/ low temperature setpoint are designed to be adjustable by the operator. All alarms are outputted through the alarm relay. In addition, if nVent HOFFMAN network card (Remote Access Control (RAC) Module) is used the parameters that state above and alarms are accessible remotely through Ethernet connection utilizing SNMP, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and Profinet protocol.

DISPLAYING AND CHANGING PROGRAM SETTINGS To view or access the settings To access folder menus: 1. Press button to display passcode screen, the screen displays PSd on line 1 and 0000 on line 2. 2. Press button to access to passcode, the first digit of 0000 is flashing and press 3 more times until the last digit of 0000 flashes. 3.
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.
To reset the alarms in alarm history folder The controller is designed with ability to reset or clear the alarm history 1. Follow instructions above to enter the passcode and open the reset folder (rStF). 2. The screen displays rSAL on line 2 and nO on line 1, press button the nO is flashing 3.
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).
To configure the controller from single mode to PS mode, simply follow below procedures 1. Before proceeding the PS mode configuration for each controller, make sure that the communication cable is connected from one ACU to another using a shielded cable with the shield grounded. 2.
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. nVent provides Windows interface application software that is available to download free from nVent support link https://www.nVent.com/en-us/...
Ethernet or USB connection. With nVent HOFFMAN PC Interface Tool a user has the ability to remotely manage and monitor hundreds of nVent HOFFMAN air conditioners both domestically and globally at one central location at user’s own pace, so long as all air conditioners are configured in the same subnet in the network.
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.
Cleaning Instructions: 1. Flush the filter with warm water from the exhaust side to the intake side. Do not use caustics. 2. After flushing, allow filter to drain. Placing it with a corner down will assure complete drainage. 3. Recoat the filters with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. When spraying filter do so from both sides for maximum concentration of adhesive.
