Overview
The following group activities are available when units are grouped together on a network and are managed by
the group controller:
• Redundancy designates a set of standby units, one of which will be placed into operation in the event of
failure of the active unit.
• Runtime balancing changes roles of active and standby units to maintain an even runtime of unit
components across the cooling group.
• Assist activates a standby unit when the active unit is unable to meet the cooling demand. This is
supported for both temperature and humidity.
Group Controller
The group controller is selected by the group members when the group is created. The selected group
controller remains the group controller until the unit is no longer on the network or the group is connected to
another network and the group controller loses an arbitration.
Group data
Group data is data that is shared among the group. When entered on any display interface of a unit in the
group, the data is broadcast to the entire group. The group controller ensures that a new member of the group
has data consistent with the other group members. The following data items are the group data items for the
cooling units:
Redundancy
A unit in the group has one of the possible states:
The group controller maintains the active number of units in the group. If there are no standby units available to
replace an active unit, a No Standby Units Available alarm is activated.
Events that activate a standby unit are configured via the Web interface; the active unit will switchover to a
standby unit if one is available. When the issue with the active unit has been resolved and the alarm is cleared
by user acknowledgment, the previously active unit will come back online, and the group controller will return
the currently active unit to standby mode.
Runtime Balancing
Runtime balancing maintains even runtimes on units within a group. Runtime balancing can be turned off via
the Run Time Balancing setting on the Main > Configuration > Unit > Group screen.
An active unit will switch roles with a standby unit when the system runtime exceeds the set threshold. The
threshold is set in one of the following ways:
• Differential: The roles are switched when the system runtime of the active unit exceeds the system
runtime of the standby unit. This difference in runtime is set in the Runtime Balancing Difference setting
on the Main > Configuration > Unit > Group screen.
• Time relative: The roles are switched after the Relative Switchover Time length of time since the
previous switchover.
• Scheduled: The roles are switched on the day and time entered in the Day of Week Switchover Time
setting.
When the switchover occurs, the group controller selects a standby unit with the least amount of system
runtime. The group controller will also maintain both units running until the Switchover Handoff Time expires.
Assist
Assisting activates a standby unit to assist the active unit when the active unit cannot maintain the relevant
setpoint alone. Assisting is provided for cooling, humidification, and dehumidification. These settings are
enabled or disabled on the Main > Configuration > Unit > Group screen with the Cooling Assist,
Humidification Assist, and Dehumidification Assist settings.
Only one standby unit is allocated to assist at a time. When selecting a unit as the assisting unit, the group
controller will attempt to select a unit that supports both temperature and humidity control assist enabled. If a
unit with both is not available, the group controller will select a unit with the desired assist function enabled.
Cooling assist
The group controller will assign a standby unit to assist when the air temperature process variable exceeds the
setpoint plus the Cooling Assist Threshold. The unit will be returned to standby mode when it no longer has a
demand. Cooling Assist Threshold is set on the Main > Configuration > Service > Setpoints > Assist
screen.
Dehumidification assist
The group controller will assign a standby unit to assist when the humidity is above the setpoint plus the
Dehumidify Assist Threshold. The unit will be returned to standby mode when it no longer has a demand.
Dehumidify Assist Threshold is set on the Main > Configuration > Service > Setpoints > Assist screen.
NOTE: All units connected to the network must have the same version of firmware.
To communicate on the local network, the units are configured so that each of them can communicate the
information necessary to operate correctly. Electrical connections must be completed step-by-step.

Network connection
The A-Link bus connection allows a maximum group of sixteen Uniflair LE DX cooling units to communicate
with each other.
To enable the cooling units to function as a group, link them together using a standard pin-out CAT-5 cable with
RJ-45 connectors. The A-Link bus must be terminated at the first and last unit installed in the group. An A-Link
terminator is supplied with each unit.
CAUTION
CAT 5 PINOUT
Devices connected on the A-Link ports should use a standard pin-out (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4,
5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8) CAT5 cable only.
NOTE: The maximum wire length for the entire group must not exceed 500 m (1640 ft).
Active Flow Controllers (AFC): If AFC units are installed in the cooling group in a HACS or CACS
environment, they are connected to the A-Link bus as shown. If the cooling group is in an under floor
environment, the AFC unit is connected through the J5 port on the controller.
See the Active Flow Controller Installation Manual and the Uniflair LE DX Installation Manual for
more information.

Quick Configuration
The cooling unit is shipped with a Network Management Card that enables the cooling unit to be managed over
a network. Configure the Network Management Card to control this cooling unit through a network.
Overview
You must configure the following TCP/IP settings before the Network Management Card can operate on a
network:
The Device IP Configuration Wizard supports cards that have firmware version 3.0.x or higher and is for IPv4
only.
NOTE: Most software firewalls must be temporarily disabled for the Wizard to discover Network Management
Cards that are not configured.
To configure one or more network management cards from a user configuration file, see the User
Manual.
If neither a DHCP nor BOOTP server is available, see “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 78
or “Remote access to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 79 to configure the TCP/IP
settings.
BOOTP: For the Network Management Card to use a BOOTP server to configure its TCP/IP settings, it must
find a properly-configured RFC951-compliant BOOTP server.
1. In the BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server, enter the MAC address of the Network Management Card,
and the IP addresses of the subnet mask and default gateway, and an optional bootup file name.
NOTE: Look on the nameplate of the unit for the MAC address. The MAC address is also available on
the display interface at Main > About > Display > Device.
2. When the Network Management Card reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
– If you specified a bootup file name, the Network Management Card attempts to transfer that file from
the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP. The Network Management Card takes on all settings
specified in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Network Management Card can be configured remotely
by using the CLI or the Web interface. User name and password are both apc, by default.
DHCP: You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the
Network Management Card.
1. The Network Management Card sends out a DHCP request that uses the following to identify itself:
– Vendor Class Identifier (by default, APC)
– Client Identifier (by default, the MAC address of the Network Management Card)
– User Class Identifier (by default, the identification of the application firmware installed on the Network
Management Card)
2. A properly configured DHCP server responds with a DHCP offer that includes all of the settings that the
Network Management Card needs for network communication. The DHCP offer also includes the
Vendor Specific Information option (DHCP option 43). If configured to do so, the Network Management
Card will ignore DHCP offers that do not encapsulate the APC cookie in DHCP option 43 using the
following hexadecimal format:
Option 43 = 01 04 31 41 50 43
where
– The first byte (01) is the code
– The second byte (04) is the length
– The remaining bytes (31 41 50 43) are the APC cookie (not required by default)
See your DHCP server documentation to add code to the Vendor Specific Information option.
To change the command line interface (CLI) DHCP Cookie Is setting, use the Advanced option in the TCP/IP
menu.
See “Local access to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 80.
NOTE: After a Network Management Card has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using
ARP and Ping, to access that Network Management Card.
1. Use the MAC address of the Network Management Card in the ARP command to define an IP address
for the Network Management Card. For example, to define an IP address of 156.205.14.141 for a
Network Management Card that has a MAC address of 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67, use one of the following
commands:
NOTE: Look on the nameplate of the unit for the MAC address. The MAC address is also available on
the display interface at Main > About > Display > Device.
For each variable, enter a numeric value with the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
For example, to set a system IP address of 156.205.14.141, enter the following command and
press ENTER:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141
7. Type reboot. The Network Management Card restarts to apply the changes.
Local access to the command line interface (CLI)
You can use a computer connected to the serial port on the front of the display to access the CLI.
1. Select a serial port on the local computer and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the provided serial cable to connect the selected serial port to the serial on the front of the display.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®, TeraTerm, or PuTTY) and configure the selected port
for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Save the changes.
5. Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
6. Use apc for the user name and password.
7. Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the
Network Management Card.
8. Use these three commands to configure network settings (text in italics indicates a variable):
a. tcpip -i yourIPaddress
b. tcpip -s yourSubnetMask
c. tcpip -g yourDefaultGateway
For each variable, enter a numeric value with the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
For example, to set a system IP address of 156.205.14.141, enter the following command and
press ENTER:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141
9. Type reboot. The Network Management Card restarts to apply the changes.
• Web interface
• Telnet/SSH
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• FTP/SCP
• Modbus
For more information on the interfaces, see the Uniflair LE DX User Manual.
Web interface
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer® 7.x or higher (on Windows operating systems only), or Mozilla® Firefox® 3.0.6
or higher (on all operating systems) to access the cooling unit through its Web interface. Other commonly
available browsers also may work but have not been fully tested by Schneider Electric.
You can use either of the following protocols when you use the Web browser to configure display interface
options or to view the event log:
• The HTTP protocol (enabled by default), which provides authentication by user name and password but
no encryption.
• The HTTPS protocol, which provides extra security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), encrypts user
names, passwords, and data being transmitted, and authenticates the Network Management Card by
means of digital certificates.
To access the Web interface and configure the security of your cooling unit on the network,
1. Enter the IP address or DNS name of the cooling unit into a web browser.
2. Enter the username and password (both are apc by default).
3. To enable or disable the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, use Main > Configuration > Network.
For more information on selecting and configuring network security, see the UPS Network
Management Card Security Handbook, available on www.schneider-electric.com. Click on “User
Manuals” on the right side and search for “UPS Network Management Cards.”
Telnet for basic access: Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and password, but
not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the Network Management Card control
console from any computer on the same network,
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press ENTER:
telnet address
As address, use the Network Management Card IP address or DNS name (if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc
for a Device User).
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the CLI through SSH or
Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program installed on your
computer.
See the Uniflair LE DX User Manual for more information on configuring and using SSH.
SNMPv1 only: After you add the latest version of PowerNet® MIB to a standard SNMP MIB browser, you can
use that browser to access the Uniflair LE DX cooling unit. All user names, passwords, and community names
for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. The default read community name is public; the
default read/write community name is private.
SNMPv3 only: For SNMP GETs, SETs, and trap receivers, SNMPv3 uses a system of user profiles to identify
users. An SNMPv3 user must have a user profile assigned in the MIB software program to perform GETs and
SETs, browse the MIB, and receive traps. The default settings are no authentication and no privacy.
NOTE: To use SNMPv3, you must have an MIB program that supports SNMPv3, and SNMPv3 must be
configured correctly in the Network Management Card.
The cooling unit supports SHA or MD5 authentication and V or DES encryption.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv3: To use StruxureWare Data Center Expert to manage the Uniflair LE DX cooling unit on
the public network of StruxureWare system, you must have SNMPv1 enabled in the unit interface. Read access
allows devices to receive traps from the cooling unit. Write access is required while you set the device as a trap
receiver.
To enable or disable SNMP access, you must be an Administrator. Select Administration > Network and
select the access option under SNMPv1 or SNMPv3.
FTP/SCP
You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer downloaded firmware to the Network
Management Card or to access a copy of the cooling unit event or data logs. SCP provides the higher security
of encrypted data transmission and is enabled automatically when you enable SSH. FTP and SCP can be
enabled simultaneously.
To access the Network Management Card through FTP or SCP, the default user name and password are apc
and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device User. In the command line, use the IP address
of the unit.
NOTE: If you enable SSL and SSH for their high-security authentication and encryption, disable FTP. To
disable FTP, you must be an Administrator. Go to Main > Configuration > Network to enable FTP.
The Modbus RTU interface supports 2-wire RS-485, 4-wire RS-485, plus ground MODBUS TCP.
NOTE: Modbus can be configured to run at either 9600 or 19200 bps. It is already configured for 8 data bits, no
parity, and 1 stop bit: parity is changeable but data bits and stop bits are not.
To access the Modbus register map, go to the Schneider Electric website, download.schneider-
electric.com/library and search for the Modbus register map.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Connect the Schneider Electric serial cable (part number 990-0299) to the selected port on the
computer and to the serial port on the front of the display.
3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) and configure the selected port:
– 9600 bps
– 8 data bits
– no parity
– 1 stop bit
– no flow control
4. Press the RESET button on the front of the display, immediately press ENTER on the computer keyboard,
repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt.
NOTE: If you do not press the ENTER key before five seconds elapse, you must press the RESET button
again.
If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:
– The serial port is not in use by another application.
– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.
– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.
5. Press the RESET button on the front of the display. The Status LED will alternately flash orange and
green. Immediately press the RESET button on the front of the display a second time while the LED is
flashing to temporarily reset the user name and password to their defaults.
6. Press ENTER on the computer keyboard as many times as necessary to re-display the User Name
prompt, then use the default, apc, for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds
to log on after the User Name prompt is re-displayed, you must repeat step 5 and log on again.)
7. At the command line interface, use the following commands to change the password setting, which has
been reset to apc:
user -n <user name> -pw <user password>
Upgrading here means simply placing the module files on the cooling unit; there is no installation required.
Check the Schneider-Electric Web site regularly for firmware updates: www.schneider-electric.com.
(Each module contains one or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to protect its data from corruption.)
The boot monitor module, the AOS, and the application file names share the same basic format:
apc_hardware-version_type_firmware-version.bin
• apc: Indicates the context.
• hardware-version: “hw0n” where ‘n’ identifies the hardware version on which you can use this file.
• type: Identifies which module.
• version: The version number of the file.
• bin: Indicates that this is a binary file.
Firmware file transfer methods
Upgrade the bootmon module first, then the AOS module, and finally, the application module by placing them
on the cooling unit in that order.
Obtain the free, latest firmware version from www.apc.com/tools/download. To upgrade the firmware of one or
more cooling units, use one of these methods:
• On a Windows operating system, use the Firmware Upgrade Utility available from the Schneider-Electric
Web site (www.schneider-electric.com).
• On any supported operating system, use FTP or SCP to transfer the individual AOS and application
firmware modules.
• For a cooling unit that is NOT on your network, use XMODEM through a serial connection to transfer the
individual firmware modules from your computer to the cooling unit.
• Use a USB drive to transfer and update the files
• Use a USB drive to transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer.
See “Use a USB drive to transfer and upgrade the files” on page 87.
IMPORTANT: Never use an upgrade utility designated for one product to upgrade the firmware of another
product.)
Using the Utility for upgrades on Windows-based systems: On any supported Windows operating system,
the Firmware Upgrade Utility automates the transferring of the firmware modules, in the correct module order.
Unzip the downloaded firmware upgrade file and double-click the .exe file. Then enter the IP address, the user
name, and the password in the dialog fields and click Upgrade Now. You can use the Ping button to test your
entered details.
See also “Using the Firmware Upgrade Utility for multiple upgrades on Windows” on page 56.
Using the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux. On non-Windows operating systems, the
Firmware Upgrade Utility extracts the individual firmware modules but does not upgrade the cooling unit.
1. After obtaining the files from the downloaded firmware upgrade file, run the Firmware Upgrade Utility
(the .exe file).
2. At the prompts, click Next, and then specify the directory location to which the files will be extracted.
3. When the Extraction Complete message displays, close the dialog box.
Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one cooling unit
• The cooling unit must be on the network, with its system IP, subnet mask, and default gateway
configured.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the cooling unit.
To transfer the files, perform these steps (this procedure assumes bootmon does not need upgrading):
7. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.
8. After 20 seconds, repeat step 3 through step 7, using the application module file name at step 6.
SCP: To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for the cooling unit, follow these steps (this procedure
assumes bootmon does not need upgrading):
1. Locate the firmware modules, see “Using the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux.” on page
53.
2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the cooling unit. The following
example uses nnn to represent the version number of the AOS module:
scp apc_hw06_aos_nnn.bin [email protected]:apc_hw05_aos_nnn.bin
3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to transfer the application
firmware module to the cooling unit. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application module).
Use XMODEM to upgrade one cooling unit
To use XMODEM to upgrade one cooling unit that is not on the network, you must extract the firmware files with
the Firmware Upgrade Utility.
To transfer the files (this procedure assumes bootmon does not need upgrading):
1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.
2. Connect the provided serial configuration cable (part number 940-0299) to the selected port and to the
serial port at the cooling unit.
3. Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for 57600 bps, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press the Reset button on the cooling unit, then immediately press the ENTER key twice, or until the
Boot Monitor prompt displays
BM>
5. Type XMODEM, then press ENTER.
6. From the terminal program menu, select XMODEM, then select the binary AOS firmware file to transfer
using XMODEM. After the XMODEM transfer is complete, the Boot Monitor prompt returns. (Always
upgrade the AOS before the application module.)
7. To install the application module, repeat step 5 and step 6. In step 6, use the application module file
name.
8. Type reset or press the Reset button to restart the cooling unit.

a. If the internal concentration is too high, phenomena will arise such as foam, corrosion of the
electrodes, and electric discharges between the electrodes through the water.
b. If the internal concentration is too low, the humidifier will be slow in following variations in the
demand for steam production.
The algorithm on the CPY is suitable for almost all types of water available around the world; nonetheless, in
some cases the drain to dilute cycles may need to be calibrated manually. Manual calibration is necessary if the
CPY cannot correct/eliminate the following phenomena: foam, corrosion of the electrodes, discharges between
the electrodes through the water. It is recommended to wait a few hours after such phenomena occurs before
performing the manual calibration procedure to provide time for the CPY to act independently, unless the safety
of people and objects are endangered.
The manual calibration should first be performed by increasing the frequency of the drain-to-dilute cycles and,
only if this is not sufficient, by also increasing the duration of the cycles. Each drain cycle affects the production
of steam and reduces the efficiency of humidity control:
• If the contactor is open during the drain cycle, steam production stops for the entire drain time.
• During the next fill cycle, the mains water added reduces the water temperature inside the cylinder, thus
further decreasing steam production. This effect occurs even if the contactor is closed during the drain
cycle.
From the standpoint of humidity control, it is preferable to have more frequent yet shorter drain cycles.
• Conductivity Control
• Duration of Drain to Dilute Cycle
The manual calibration procedure, explained in detail in the following sections, is a process that occurs slowly
because the effects of the changes to the frequency and/or the duration of the drain-to-dilute cycles take time to
be seen. Phenomena such as foam, corrosion, and electrical discharges through the water cannot be resolved
in a short time: the manual calibration procedure should be performed carefully and will take time.
Conductivity Control and Duration of Drain to Dilute Cycle can be used to set the frequency and the
duration of the drain-to-dilute cycles respectively:
• Increasing Conductivity Control decreases the frequency of the drain cycles and vice-versa.
• Increasing Duration of Drain to Dilute Cycle increases the duration of the drain cycles and vice-versa.
The recommended calibration procedure is described below. Always wait a couple of a drain-to-dilute cycles
after each change to monitor the effect:
1. Set Conductivity Control to 110% and Duration of Drain to Dilute Cycle to the default value of 110%.
2. Increase Conductivity Control by steps of 10% (maximum value 200%).
3. Wait a couple of drain to dilute cycles.
a. If the phenomena disappear, stop here.
b. If the phenomena continues and Conductivity Control is less than 200%, repeat step 2.
c. If the phenomena continues and Conductivity Control is equal to 200%, go to step 4.
4. If Duration of Drain to Dilute Cycle is less than 200%, increase Duration of Drain to Dilute Cycle by
steps of 10% and repeat from step 1.
