Ventilation in balance control and operation Airlinq
IF 2013 The Airlinq AM L control panel has won two design awards at if 2013 for its innovative design one award for if product design and if communication design for the control panel user interface. perfect indoor climate with demand-controlled ventilation We view things differently. For some people, technology has to be smart and elegant for others, functionality and control is essential. At Airmaster, we believe that when it comes to demandcontrolled ventilation both are important. Quality, function and aesthetics are key at Airmaster. For this reason, Airmaster doesn't only focus on the air handling unit itself, but also on the control system and control panel. Airmaster's air handling units are controlled using an intelligent control system called Airlinq.

Reaching new heights with Airlinq With their wealth of control options, ventilation solutions from Airmaster give users full control of their indoor climate. Airmaster not only ensures a world-class indoor climate, but also verification and correct operation of the air handling unit. The Airlinq control system Data log A new and unique feature that logs all important operating data, e.g.: Inlet temperature Discharge temperature Outdoor temperature CO 2 levels Air humidity Airflow Airlinq PC Tools Option of monitoring and configuring units using a PC running the Airlinq User Tool. A more advanced tool is available for service engineers the Airlinq Service Tool. Advanced warning and alarm system The advanced warning and alarm system helps to minimise operating and service costs. Faults are detected more quickly, ensuring continued reliability of the air handling unit. BMS Flexibility with digital BMS Airlinq can be equipped with a network module (additional circuit board) which provides the option of flexible connection to a network system: KNX BACnet TM /IP BACnet TM MS/TP LON MODBUS RTU RS485 Downloading to a PC System operating data can be downloaded to a PC. This provides a quick overview of unit operation and enables the production of operational documentation. This ensures optimised operation of the air handling unit. 1 All-in-one All intelligent control is integrated in the control unit itself which means that air handling units are fully automatic removes the need for a control panel. CTS Airmaster CTS An Airmaster CTS enables up to 20 different and individually equipped air handling units to be controlled from a single control panel. The system offers much more than the usual Master- Slave system. Airmaster sensors for BMS Airmaster's motion sensor (PIR) and CO 2 sensors can be used in network systems. This provides simple and economical connection to the BMS system. 4 5

Control functions Data logging Continuous data logging of all important operating data. The data log can be set as a time-bound log. Logging frequency and operating data can be customised. The control unit is set to datalog every five minutes as standard the memory is sufficiently large to collect operating data for one year. When the memory is full, the oldest data is overwritten to ensure that the latest data are always accessible. The benefits of this include: - Option of readouts of very precise operating data, e.g. tracking error logs. - Option of generating operating reports for each unit. - Documentation of air quality by the connected CO 2 sensor. Sensors Demand-controlled airflow relative to air humidity using electronic humidity sensors for both outdoor and indoor air to ensure optimum room humidity levels. Demand-controlled airflow relative to CO 2 levels using a CO 2 sensor. Integrated 13.5 Volt sensor power supply. Two analogue inputs: - Inputs can also be used as digital inputs. - Inputs can be programmed as required. This means that the air handling unit is fully automatic and controlled using two dynamic sensors, two contact sensors or one dynamic sensor and one contact sensor. Heating surfaces Automatic control of heating surfaces. Electronic frost protection using preheating or afterheating surfaces and the Preheating or Virtual Preheating function. Control box Option of control of cooling module using an additional print. Network connection using additional prints of the type KNX, LON, MODBUS, BACnet TM MS/TP, BACnet TM /IP is available. All intelligent control is contained in the control box. This means that air handling units can also be run without the use of a control panel.

AIRMASTER CTS...and digital BMS All air handling units from Airmaster can also be combined in an Airmaster CTS solution. If air handling units are required to be controlled and monitored centrally, a digital BMS solution can be used. Up to 20 units, which are grouped according to individual parameters, can be controlled from just a single control panel. Digital BMS has the capacity of integrating an unlimited number of individually controlled air handling units. The Airlinq control box simply requires an additional circuit board. Units with identical settings and the same sensor control requirements can be grouped this increases flexibility and reduces cost. KNX BACnetTM /IP BACnetTM MS/TP LON MODBUS RTU RS485 Different units are able to operate with different settings and sensors, if required. This provides maximum flexibility and the option of adapting When the control unit is units to local conditions and room connected to BMS, all 14 application. individual air handling units are controlled and 15 monitored by BMS.
