4.2.1 Electric heating surfaces (option) The AME 900 F unit can be supplied with one or two built-in electric heating surfaces. Both the electric preheating surface and the electric comfort heating surface are optional; hence the unit might have neither, one, or two heating surfaces.
Page 11
4.2.3 Smoke detector (option) The AME 900 F unit can be supplied with a built-in smoke detector. The smoke detector is designed to detect smoke inside ventilation ducts by means of a measuring tube. If smoke is detected, the smoke detector will stop the unit and raise an alarm.
Page 12
Electrical equipment must be connected according to the wiring diagram in section 5.3. • Electrical equipment is connected to the AME 900 F control box. The control box is a black AQC-L box located inside the unit. You need to open the service door and remove a cover plate to access the control box.

5.4 External Start The AME 900 F unit can be started by an external contact e.g. a circuit breaker or a hygrostat. The unit is supplied with a low-voltage signal from the control box via the external contact. If the contact closes the AME 900 F unit will start. If the signal is disrupted, the unit will stop.
Page 18
5.7 Analog BMS The AME 900 F unit can be connected to an analog Building Management System (A-BMS). The unit will then start and stop according to the A-BMS system’s programming.

6.4 System programming Units in an Airlinq BMS system must be grouped. Each group has its own Group ID. The first group is G0, then G1, G2,…G19. You can have a maximum of 20 groups [0-19] in the system, however, this would mean that each group consists of one unit only as the maximum number of units in one system is 20.
