24 Blower The blower will run continuously under the following conditions: Correct current (24 volts) is present on DI 5 (Enable) The start-up delay timer is not running The unit is not in STANDBY No FIRE or SMOKE alarms exist The unit has not been placed in the STOP mode (either locally or remotely) Overloads are not tripped Caution: The blower will not run during an AIRFLOW ALARM condition. 18 NetworkAIR AFX

25 Cooling Cycle Compressor cooling AFX65: In cooling mode, compressors are engaged incrementally with increasing demand. The lead compressor stage activates when the return air temperature reaches the setpoint plus 50% of the deadband. For example, if the setpoint is 80º F and the deadband is 4º, the lead compressor is activated at 82ºF. As the return air temperature rises to the setpoint plus 99% of the deadband (84º F in the example), the lag compressor is activated. To set deadbands, see Temperature control on page 11 of this manual. When the return air temperature falls to the setpoint plus 20% of the deadband (approximately 81ºF, 27ºC), the lag compressor shuts off, provided its minimum-on timer has expired. If the return air temperature drops to the setpoint plus 1% of the deadband (80ºF, 26ºC), the lead compressor shuts off provided its minimum-on timer has expired. AFX18: In cooling mode, the compressor is engaged when the return air temperature reaches the setpoint plus 50% of the deadband. For example, if the setpoint is 80ºF (26ºC) and the deadband is 4º, the compressor is activated at 82ºF (28ºC). When the return air temperature falls to the setpoint plus 20% of the deadband (approximately 81ºF, 27ºC), the compressor shuts off. Humidification To set deadbands, see Temperature control on page 11 of this manual. To configure humidifier settings, see Humidity control on page 12 of this manual. When enabled, humidification occurs when the relative humidity is less than the humidity setpoint minus the humidity deadband. The digital humidity output turns on and remains on until the humidity reaches the humidity setpoint. If the analog humidifier control is enabled, the analog output can be used to control a proportional humidifier. The output is at the minimum voltage when the humidity is at or above the humidification setpoint. The output increases proportionally as the humidity drops from the humidity setpoint. NetworkAIR AFX 19

26 Operation: Cooling Cycle Heating cycle To set up dehumidification, see Change the humidity setpoint on page 7 of this manual. To configure the heating setpoint, see Change the temperature setpoint on page 6 of this manual. Electric heating occurs when the heaters are enabled and the return air temperature is below its heating setpoint minus the deadband. Three stages of heating are available to maintain the return air temperature above its heating setpoint. Stage 1 Stage 2 Percentage of total available heat output OFF ON 33% ON OFF 66% ON ON 100% The percentage of heating is shown in the center of the display. During either dehumidification mode, air is reheated after it is cooled in order to remove moisture. 20 NetworkAIR AFX

37 Maintenance Component Control/Safety Adjustments Note: APC recommends using only trained APC service personnel when servicing this equipment. Belt tension Warning: Perform Lockout/Tagout procedures on the equipment being serviced. Failure to remove power before servicing this equipment could result in serious injury or death. The blower motor is mounted on an adjustable base. Increase or decrease belt tension by raising or lowering the base. A properly adjusted belt will deflect about 3/4 to 1 inch (19 to 25 mm) per foot (300 mm) of span between the blower and motor pulleys when firmly pressed. Lock the belt in position after making adjustments. Caution: Too much tension shortens bearing, shaft and belt life. NetworkAIR AFX 31

38 Maintenance: Component Control/Safety Adjustments For quiet operation, the belt should be as loose as possible without causing slippage. Slippage can cause belt noise, insufficient airflow, or both. If the smaller pulley is noticeably warmer than the larger pully, the likely cause is belt slippage. Tighten the belt slightly. Do not test temperature while pulleys are turning. Readjust belt tension if the variable-speed pulley setting is changed or if the belt is replaced. Overload relay The blower motor starter has an adjustable overload relay. Set the adjustment dial to correspond to the full load amperes (FLA) on the blower motor. The overload has a manual reset button to prevent the motor from cycling on the overload switch. Motor pulley Warning: Perform Lockout/Tagout procedures on the equipment being serviced. Failure to remove power before servicing this equipment could result in serious injury or death. The pulley on the blower motor has a variable pitch diameter to allow the blowers to be sped up or slowed down to compensate for higher or lower external static pressure, or in some cases, high altitude. Before it left the factory, the motor pulley was sized and the unit tested with the pitch in the middle of its adjustment range. To change blower speed: 1. Remove the belt from the larger, nonadjustable blower pulley first. 2. Loosen the set screw on both movable sheaves (pulley sections) a. To increase blower speed, turn the moveable sheaves inward toward the center stationary sheave to increase the effective pitch diameter. b. To decrease blower speed, turn the moveable sheaves outward away from the center stationary sheave to decrease the effective pitch diameter. Note: Turn both sheaves the same number of times to maintain uniform tension on both belts. 3. Tighten the set screws again, making sure that they are not on the threaded portion of the sheave, and put the belts back on. 4. Check for proper alignment between the driving and driven sheaves. Improper alignment will cause premature wear on the blower belts. 32 NetworkAIR AFX

39 Maintenance: Component Control/Safety Adjustments Clogged-filter switch Note: The following procedure can only be performed using new, clean filters. The clogged-filter switch senses the air pressure drop across the filters. When the pressure drop is too high because of dirty filters, the switch closes and causes an alarm. The clogged filter switch has been set at the factory for approximately 1.0 inch of Water Column pressure drop across the filters. Check the setting at unit start-up. Cover one-third of the filter area and increase or decrease the clogged filter switch sensitivity so that the switch closes when one third of the filter area is blocked. Low air pressure switch The unit uses an APD (air pressure differential) switch to sense airflow loss through the unit. The APD is factory set to close at 0.2 inches of Water Column. The pressure setting is adjustable by turning the adjustment screw clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the setting. NetworkAIR AFX 33

40 Maintenance: Component Control/Safety Adjustments Air filters Replace air filters as necessary to maintain efficient operation. Consider local environmental conditions when deciding how frequently to change filters.

41 Maintenance: Component Control/Safety Adjustments Firestat The firestat heat response device used in this unit has a manual reset and an adjustable temperature setting. The firestat is factory set prior to shipment to trip when temperatures above 125 F are detected. If the firestat is tripped, an alarm sounds and the unit is shut down. To reset the firestat, press the silver button on the device. The location of the firestat depends on the unit model and options. Refrigeration system sight glass The refrigeration sight glass indicates liquid refrigerant flow and the presence of moisture. Bubbles in the sight glass indicate a shortage of refrigerant or a restriction in the liquid line. The moisture indicator changes from green to yellow when moisture is present in the system. NetworkAIR AFX 35

42 Maintenance: Component Control/Safety Adjustments High pressure switch The high pressure switch is located on the discharge line coming from the compressor. An alarm will sound if pressure exceeds the default setting on the switch. To manually reset the switch, remove the cover and press the red button. Flow switch (optional) If the unit is equipped with a flow switch, adjust the switch sensitivity for the flow at initial start-up to prevent false alarms. 36 NetworkAIR AFX

43 Humidifier Procedures Humidifier operation When the humidistat is activated, the cylinder fills to 110% of the Full Load Amperage (F.L.A.) or to the top of the cylinder, whichever occurs first. If it reaches 110% F.L.A., the water heats and boils away to 90% F.L.A. The humidistat concentrates conductive minerals in the cylinder so that a smaller volume of water is required to produce the rated steam output. Achieving the correct concentration of minerals extends the life of the disposable cylinder by minimizing electrode coverage. A water level that is too high usually indicates that the concentration of minerals in the cyliinder needs to be reduced so the unit adjusts the fill and drain valves to dilute the water. When 90% F.L.A. is reached, the fill valve opens refilling the cylinder to 110% F.L.A. If the water level rises too high, the drain valve will also come on Item Description Steam hose Cylinder Electrodes Drain valve Drain pan Drain canal Strainer Fill valve Inlet chamber Fill cup Fill chamber Water overflow chamber Areas with low water conductivity You can accelerate the normalization process by artificially increasing water conductivity. Dissolve one-half teaspoon of salt in a cup of water. Add it to the humidifier at the fill cup during a fill cycle. NetworkAIR AFX 37

44 Maintenance: Humidifier Procedures Humidifier service Warning: Perform Lockout/Tagout procedures on the equipment being serviced. Failure to remove power before servicing this equipment could result in serious injury or death. Warning: Burn hazard. The humidifier cylinder and drain lines may contain hot water. Let the humidifier cool before servicing. 1. Toggle the humidifier switch to the DRAIN position. Note: Wait 30 seconds to allow the humidifier cylinder to drain completely. 2. Remove power from the equipment at the mains. 3. Open the equipment door. 4. Verify that power is off. Remove the steam cylinder Warning: Burn hazard. The cylinder may be hot. Let it cool before touching it, or use protective gloves. Note: Replace the disposable steam cylinder at the end of its cylinder life. Cylinder life depends on water condition and humidifier usage. 1. The power wires to the cylinder are attached to cylinder plugs to the electrode pins on top of the cylinder. Pull these plugs vertically off the pins. 38 NetworkAIR AFX
