Airflow settings

Path: Main > Configuration > Unit > Airflow > Fan
• Fan Control Type: Select which method will be used to control the unit fans.
– Proportional To Demand: The speed of the evaporator fans is proportional to the compressor
speed. As compressor capacity increases, fan speed increases; as compressor capacity decreases,
fan speed decreases.
– Under Floor: The speed of the evaporator fans is based on the pressure differential between the air
under the floor and the air above the floor.
NOTE: A pressure differential measuring device, such as an Active Flow Controller, must be
connected to the unit for this setting.
– HACS: The speed of evaporator fans is based on the pressure differential between the inside and
outside of the hot aisle containment system. The fan speed increases to bring the pressure difference
back down to the setpoint or decreases fan output to increase the pressure differential.
NOTE: A pressure differential measuring device, such as an Active Flow Controller, must be
connected to the unit for this setting.
– CACS: The speed of evaporator fan is based on the pressure differential between the inside and

Control the Environment


How the modes of operation work
The cooling control varies based on the Fan Control Type setting:

See “Airflow settings” on page 30 for the Fan Control Type setting.

• Proportional To Demand: The speed of the evaporator fans is proportional to the compressor speed.
As compressor capacity increases, fan speed increases; as compressor capacity decreases, fan speed
decreases.
• Under Floor: The speed of the evaporator fans is based on the pressure differential between the air
under the floor and the air above the floor.
NOTE: A pressure differential measuring device, such as an Active Flow Controller, must be connected
to the unit for this setting.
• HACS: The speed of evaporator fans is based on the pressure differential between the inside and
outside of the hot aisle containment system. The fan speed increases to bring the pressure difference
back down to the setpoint or decreases fan output to increase the pressure differential.
NOTE: A pressure differential measuring device, such as an Active Flow Controller, must be connected
to the unit for this setting.
• CACS: The speed of evaporator fan is based on the pressure differential between the inside and outside
of the cold aisle containment system. The fan speed decreases to bring the pressure difference back
down to the setpoint or increases fan output to increase the pressure differential.
NOTE: A pressure differential measuring device, such as an Active Flow Controller, must be connected
to the unit for this setting.
• Constant Speed: The fans will operate at the speed entered for Fan Speed.
Setpoints
A setpoint is the target value that a cooling group tries to maintain in the environment. The default setpoints are
appropriate for most cooling applications.

Path: Main > Setpoints


• Return Air Setpoint: The setpoint must be within 15.0–30.2°C (59.0–86.4°F). The Return Air Setpoint
will be the required temperature of the air entering the cooling unit.
NOTE: The Return Air setting is defined by Schneider Electric qualified personnel when the cooling unit
is commissioned.

32 Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual


• Supply Air Setpoint: The setpoint must be within 15.0–30.2°C (59.0–86.4°F). The Supply Air Setpoint
will be the required temperature of the air expelled into the surrounding environment.
NOTE: The Supply Air setting is defined by Schneider Electric qualified personnel when the cooling
group is commissioned.
• Remote Temperature Setpoint: The target values for the remote air sensors connected to a NetBotz®
Rack Sensor Pod 150. When this setpoint is active, the Supply Air Setpoint is also displayed as a
read-only variable because the remote air controller uses the supply air controller to achieve the remote
temperature setpoint. (10.0–18.0°C (50.0–64.4°F))
• Reheat Setpoint: The target value for air leaving the cooling unit. (10.0–18.0°C (50.0–64.4°F))
Electric reheat stage is dependent on the reheat setpoint, the reheat proportional band, and the cooling
process variable. The reheat is engaged in stages as the cooling process variable falls below the
thresholds. Stage 1 is engaged when the cooling process variable (CPV) is lower than the reheat
setpoint (RSP) minus the reheat proportional band (RPB) divided by three (CPV < RSP–(RPB/3)). Stage
1 is turned off when then cooling process variable is lower than the reheat setpoint (CPV < RSP). The
other stages engage and disengage in a similar manner.

Tune the PID loop
Tune the PID loop to optimize the performance of the cooling group.

NOTE: This procedure is to be performed by Schneider Electric qualified personnel only. The PID loop must be
tuned after the equipment in the room is installed and running. The loop should be tuned periodically to account
for changes in the room load.

1. Adjust the integral and derivative constants to zero and the proportional constant to 1.0.
2. Set the temperature setpoint value and start the cooling group.
3. When the temperature reaches a stable value, increase the proportional constant by 0.5. If the
temperature does not respond to this change, adjust the setpoint.
4. Repeat step 3 until the temperature value starts to oscillate and the peak amplitude of the oscillations is
constant.
5. Note the time, in minutes, between the peaks of the oscillations. This is the Ultimate Period, PU.
6. Note the value of the proportional constant. This is the Ultimate Gain, GU.
7. Compute the PID constants using the table below. Use the equations for that control method in the row
to compute the values for each constant.
8. Set each constant according to these calculations.

Control Method Proportional Integral Derivative


P 0.5 * GU – –
P+I 0.45 * GU 0.54 * GU / PU –

Cooling Unit Group

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.

See “Redundancy” on page 47 for more information on redundancy.

• Runtime balancing changes roles of active and standby units to maintain an even runtime of unit
components across the cooling group.

See “Runtime Balancing” on page 48 for more information on runtime balancing.

• Assist activates a standby unit when the active unit is unable to meet the cooling demand. This is
supported for both temperature and humidity.

See “Assist” on page 48 for more information on assisting.

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:

Adding and Removing Units


1. Navigate to Main > Configuration > Unit > System.
2. Set Number of Units in Group to the number of units to be included in the group.
If the value set for Number of Units in Group does not match the number of units detected by the group
controller, an Unexpected Number of Units in Group alarm will activate.

Redundancy
A unit in the group has one of the possible states:

• Off: The unit is powered but not performing any functions.


• Standby: The unit is not currently providing environmental control but is ready to become active if an
active unit fails or requires assistance.
• Assist: The unit is providing environmental control in response to a request for assistance. When
assistance is no longer required, the unit returns to the standby state. The type of assistance being
provided will be displayed immediately after Assist.

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 47


Operation
The number of active units in the group is determined by the Number of Units in Group minus the Number of
Standby Units in Group. By default, the group controller will select which units are primary units and which
units are standby units. The group controller will designate the unit with the least system runtime as an active
unit. A unit can be forced to be an active unit by selecting Primary Only as the Preferred Role on the Main >
Configuration > Unit > Group screen.

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.

See the User Guide for information on the Web interface.

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.

48 Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual


Humidification assist
The group controller will assign a standby unit to assist when the humidity is below the setpoint minus the
Humidify Assist Threshold. The unit will be returned to standby mode when it no longer has a demand.
Humidify 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.

Cooling Group Configuration


Overview
The cooling group configuration settings determine which components are available and how the cooling group
should operate. Up to 16 units installed in the same room can be connected in a local network to manage the
environmental conditions as a group.The following guidelines describe group configurations:

NOTE: Units in a network can be connected at a maximum of 500 m (1640 ft).

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.

See the Uniflair LE DX Cooling Unit Installation Manual for more information.

A-Link connections
NOTE: All input and output connections should be wired as Class 2 circuits.

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.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

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.

• Enabled: Identifies whether the specified network is enabled or not.


• Mode: Identifies how the IP address is obtained.
• IP Address: The IP address of the unit.
• Subnet Mask: The subnet mask for the sub-network.

• Enabled: Identifies whether the specified network is enabled or not.


• Auto Configuration: Displays Yes if the IP address is assigned automatically.
• Manual Configuration: Displays Yes if the IP address is assigned manually.
• DHCPv6 Mode: The DHCPv6 mode.
– Router Controlled: DHCPv6 is controlled by the M (Managed Address Configuration Flag) and O
(Other Stateful Configuration Flag) flags received in IPv6 Router Advertisements. When a router
advertisement is received, the network management card (NMC) checks whether the M and O flags
are set. The NMC interprets the state of the M and O “bits” for the following cases:
• Neither is set: Indicates local network has no DHCPv6 infrastructure. The NMC uses Router
Advertisements and/or manual configuration to get non-link-local addresses and other settings.
• M, or M and O are set: In this situation, full DHCPv6 address configuration occurs. DHCPv6 is
used to obtain addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful.
Once the M flag has been received, the DHCPv6 address configuration stays in effect until the
interface in question has been closed, even if subsequent Router Advertisement packets are
received in which the M flag is not set. If an O flag is received first, then an M flag is received
subsequently, the NMC performs full address configuration upon receipt of the M flag.
• Only O is set: In this situation, the NMC sends a DHCPv6 Info-Request packet. DHCPv6 is used
to configure “other” settings (such as location of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses.
This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.
– Address and Other Information: DHCPv6 is used to obtain addresses AND other configuration
settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful.
– Non-Address and Information Only: DHCPv6 is used to configure “other” settings (such as
locations of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses. This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.
– Never: If this radio box is selected, DHCPv6 is NOT to be used for any configuration settings.

Network Management Card

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:

• IP address of the Network Management Card


• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
NOTE: Never use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the default gateway address for the Network
Management Card. Doing so will disable the card and will require you to reset TCP/IP settings to their
defaults using a local serial login.
NOTE: If a default gateway is unavailable, use the IP address of a computer that is located on the same
subnet as the Network Management Card and that is usually running. The Network Management Card
uses the default gateway to test the network when traffic is very light.
See “Watchdog Features” in the “Introduction” of the Uniflair LE DX User Manual for more
information about the watchdog role of the default gateway.

TCP/IP configuration methods


Use one of the following methods to define the TCP/IP settings needed by the Network Management Card:

• Device IP Configuration Wizard (See “Device IP Configuration Wizard” on page 78.)


• BootP or DHCP server (See “BootP & DHCP configuration” on page 78.)
• Local computer (See “Local access to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 80.)
• Networked computer (See “Remote access to the command line interface (CLI)” on page 79.)

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 77


Device IP Configuration Wizard
The Device IP Configuration Wizard is used to discover and configure Network Management Cards that do not
have IP addresses assigned. The Device IP Configuration Wizard runs on Microsoft® Windows® 2000,
Windows Server® 2003, Windows Server® 2012, and on 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows
Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7, and Windows 8 operating systems.

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.

1. Download the Device IP Configuration Wizard from /www.apc.com/tools/download.


2. Install and run the Device IP Configuration Wizard.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If you leave the option Start a Web browser when finished enabled, you can use apc (the default) for
both the user name and password.

.ini file utility


You can use the .ini file export utility to export .ini file settings from configured Network Management Cards to
one or more unconfigured Network Management Cards.

BootP & DHCP configuration


The default TCP/IP Configuration, DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server is available to
provide TCP/IP settings to Network Management Cards. The possible settings are Manual, DHCP, or BOOTP.

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.

To create the bootup file, see your BOOTP server documentation.

DHCP: You can use a RFC2131/RFC2132-compliant DHCP server to configure the TCP/IP settings for the
Network Management Card.

78 Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual


For more details on how a DHCP can configure the network settings for a Network Management
Card, see “DHCP Configuration” in the Uniflair LE DX Installation Manual.

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.

Remote access to the command line interface (CLI)


From any computer on the same network as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to
assign an IP address to the Network Management Card and then use Telnet to access the CLI of that Network
Management Card and configure the other TCP/IP settings.

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.

– Windows command format:


arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
– LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 79


2. Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP
address defined in step 1, use one of the following Ping commands:
– Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
– LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3. Use Telnet to access the Network Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For example,
telnet 156.205.14.141
4. Use apc for both the user name and password.
5. Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the
Network Management Card.
6. 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
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.

Access a Configured Unit
Overview
After the unit is running on your network, you can access the configured cooling unit through the following
interfaces:

• 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 and SSH


You can access the control console through Telnet and/or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled.
To enable these access methods from the Web UI, select Configuration > Network > Console > Access. By
default, Telnet is enabled. Telnet and SSH can be enabled simultaneously.

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).

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 81


SSH for high-security access: If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure SHell
(SSH) for access to the CLI. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted data.

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.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

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.

In the Uniflair LE DX User Manual, see the following sections:

–-To transfer firmware, see “File Transfers.”


–-To retrieve a copy of the event or data log, see “Use FTP or SCP to retrieve log files.”

82 Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual


Modbus
Modbus lets you view the Network Management Card through the interface of your building management
system.

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.

Recover From a Lost Password


Use a local computer (a computer that connects to the Network Management Card through the serial port) to
access the command line interface (CLI).

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>

For example, to change the Super User password to XYZ, type

user -n apc -pw XYZ


8. Type quit or exit to log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected, and restart any service you
disabled.

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 83


Upgrading Firmware
When you upgrade the firmware on the cooling unit, you obtain the latest features, performance improvements,
and bug fixes.

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.

Firmware module files


A firmware version has three modules, and they must be upgraded and placed on the cooling unit in this order:

Order Module Description


 boot monitor (bootmon) Roughly equivalent to the BIOS of a PC
 American Power Conversion Operating System Can be considered the operating system of
(AOS) the cooling unit
 application Specific to the cooling unit device type

(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

See “Use XMODEM to upgrade one cooling unit” on page 86.

• 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.

84 Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual


Using the Firmware Upgrade Utility
This Firmware Upgrade Utility is part of the firmware upgrade package available from the Schneider-Electric
Web site (www.schneider-electric.com.

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.

To extract the firmware files:

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

FTP: To use FTP to upgrade a cooling unit over the network:

• 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):

1. The firmware module files must be extracted.


2. At a computer on the network, open a command prompt window. Go to the directory that contains the
firmware files, and list the files:
C:\>cd apc
C:\apc>dir
3. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
4. Type open with the IP address of the cooling unit, and press ENTER. If the port setting for the FTP Server
has changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-default value in the FTP command.
• For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP address by a space.
For example (showing a space before 21000):
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
• Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.
5. Log on as a Super User/Administrator (apc is the default user name and password).

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 85


6. Upgrade the AOS. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application module).
ftp> bin
ftp> put apc_hw06_aos_nnn.bin (where nnn is the firmware version number)

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.
For information about the format used for firmware modules, see “Firmware module files” on
page 84.

Manual calibration of the drain-to-dilute cycles: The drain-to-dilute cycles are performed automatically to
manage the concentration of mineral salts contained in the cylinder (internal concentration):

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.

Uniflair LE DX Operation and Maintenance Manual 97


The humidifier controller (CPY) performs the drain-to-dilute cycles to maintain an optimum internal
concentration. The production of steam increases the concentration of salt in the water inside the cylinder as
the water evaporates without carrying away the salt: with the drain to dilute cycles, the CPY can return the
internal concentration to the optimum values. During each drain cycle, some of the water in the cylinder is
replaced with mains water, diluting the water inside the cylinder.

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.

The calibration can be performed using the following settings:

• 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.
