Description The Mercury Switch (PR0018) is a device that allows up to 10 RDM Mercury controllers to be connected to an IP network, without the need for individual IP Futura modules. There are 10 RS232 connections for linking to 10 Mercury controllers. There are 3 standard Ethernet Switch (10/100baseT) connections for other network devices.
Mercury Switch User Guide Connection to Mercury Controllers: Using a standard CAT5 patch lead, connect the serial output of the RDM Controller to one of the RS232 ports of the Mercury Switch. RS232 Lead Lengths RS232 patch lead maximum length must not exceed 15 metres. (Ports 1 - 10) The 3-character address that will be seen on the system front end is determined by the position of the two Network ID rotary switches and the port the controller has been connected to, unless the connected controller has its own network ID rotary switches, in which case the controller ID will override the switch settings.
PR0018-PHI User Guide The PR0018-PHI hardware version of the Mercury Switch allows for EEV Control on an island by island basis. It also allows for the use of the energy feature Trim Control which pulses the trim relay of a Mercury case controller based on the actual shop floor humidity therefore minimising energy usage.
Network Configuration Unlike the PR0018 (Standard Mercury Switch version) when this product is used with a Data Manager/Data Director it is registered on the system as a device. Once the Mercury Switch is on-line, the Switch type and parameters can be set up. The switch comes online with the ID of the 2 rotary switch settings followed by the letter a.
Mercury Switch User Guide IP-L (Local IP Address) To configure the Mercury Switch for IP-L, set both rotary switches to zero. nEt. From the function menu you can now select nEt Press enter and the display will show “IP-L”, press enter You can now set the address using the table below Display Option...

-49.0 to 60 (-56.2 to 140.0) EEV Control Operation Product PR0018-PHI is intended for EEV control on an Island by island basis and can be implemented in two ways. Using the on board 4-20mA Input to measure the suction pressure going to the island.
Mercury Switch User Guide Operation Once the Switch has been correctly setup, it will pass values to each of the controllers connected to ports 1 through 10. In an EEV application the evaporator in temperature probe reading for a case controller can be obtained from the Mercury Switch on which the controller is connected.
Mercury Switch User Guide Humidity Control Operation To utilise this feature a Humidity/Temperature Display is required (PR0445). Connect the Humidity/Temperature display to the display port on the Mercury Switch. The control algorithm will use the humidity reading from the display in calculating the percentage at which the trim relays are to be pulsed.
