Slide 1: Welcome to the first AdaptAire webinar
Welcome to the first AdaptAire webinar webinar. 1
Slide 2: AdaptAire Basics webinar series format
The AdaptAire Basics webinar series is designed as a series of short presentations lasting 20 – 30 minutes. Each webinar will cover a different topic so you should schedule time to attend all eight. 2
Slide 3: Webinar format: review, presentation, recap, questions
The format for each webinar will be a short review of the previous webinar webinar, followed by the scheduled presentation, followed by a recap. We will end with time for questions. 3
Slide 4: Topics in the first webinar
In the first webinar we’ll we ll discuss some general topics regarding DDC controls and AdaptAire. 4
Slide 5: DDC controls compared with conventional controls
Let s start this webinar with a look at DDC controls in general and how they compare Let’s to conventional controls. Conventional HVAC controls, such as electromechanical or pneumatic devices, do have, when speaking in broad terms, similarities with DDC controls. Both can provide a means to control
Slide 6: DDC systems integrate subsystems and share information
All true DDC control systems share one common attribute: they allow for the integration of subsystems and components. These subsystems and components can then work together to share information. The ability to share information can be within a system, such as the outside air temperature being shared
Slide 7: Two-way communication in DDC control systems
Besides information sharing and reliability reliability, another advantage to DDC control systems is their ability to provide 2 way communication. Two way communication provides the opportunity to modify system wide control sequences in response to part load or other building dynamics. Imagine havin
Slide 8: Graphical user interface, diagnostics, alarming and data logging
Most building automation systems provide a graphical user interface as part of their DDC control system. The graphical user interface can provide flow diagrams and dynamic graphs of relationships occurring within the system. Trend graphs for example can be very useful in tracking system heating and
Slide 9: Recap of what we just learned
Let’s Let s take just a moment to absorb what we just learned learned. We learned that DDC controls systems have a few similarities to conventional systems but have more in common with crossover controls. We know that DDC controls integrate g subsystems y and provide information sharing g which allo
Slide 10: What AdaptAire is
For those of you that are new sales representatives or unfamiliar with AdaptAire AdaptAire, I’d Id like to take just a moment to briefly explain what AdaptAire is. AdaptAire is a direct digital control SYSTEM. It is not an individual part or component. AdaptAire was designed specifically for Applied
Slide 11: Why AdaptAire is important: easy installation
Before we start the specifics about AdaptAire AdaptAire, it’s it s important to understand why AdaptAire is important to your customer. First and foremost it makes installation easy. Connection between the unit and remote user interface can be accomplished with as few as 4 low voltage wires run to a
Slide 12: Easy to use
Next, it’s Next it s easy to use. use Operating the user interface or remote control is as easy as turning a knob or programming your home electronic thermostat. 12
Slide 13: Precise temperature and pressure control
AdaptAire can hold the space temperature within a degree of setpoint or discharge temperature within a few degrees of setpoint. Previous electronic temperature controls had similar precision whereas 2 stage controls often cause space temperature swings of 5 degrees or more. Likewise building pressur
Slide 14: Unprecedented diagnostics
AdaptAire provides unprecedented diagnostics diagnostics. Constantly monitoring all unit functions, the system reports on the operation or setup of over 40 parameters and 10 alert codes. Should a malfunction occur, an alert is reported to the user. AdaptAire also tracks the runtime and cycles of the
Slide 15: Third-party system integration
3rd party system integration is a breeze. Baud rates and controller addresses are field configurable. AdaptAire controls are open protocol and can be field configured to work with BACnet, Modbus, and N2 protocols. Units operating on the LON protocol require an additional protocol converter and a sim
Slide 16: What is AdaptAire?
Now that you have some idea why your customer should be interested in a DDC control system, let’s start delving deeper into what is AdaptAire? As mentioned earlier AdaptAire is a direct digital control system designed specifically to control all of the operations of an Applied Air unit. It includes
Slide 17: What the AdaptAire DDC system includes
In very general terms you now know the AdaptAire system controls the operation of all Applied pp Air direct fired units as well as the IFL and FAP units. You also know it can be applied to any Applied Air units, but what does the AdaptAire DDC system include? It includes a DDC control module made by
Slide 18: User interfaces for discharge temperature control
You just learned a little bit about the control module. You saw what it looks like on the outside and you heard what’s inside. Let’s start learning about the user interfaces. The AdaptAire system has 6 different user interfaces which work with 2 different temperature control types. When discharge te
Slide 19: User interfaces for room temperature control
When room temperature control is important, the user interface choices are MRT, MRT-Pro, MRT-Expert, and WebCTRL. 19
Slide 20: Recap of this webinar
Let’s Let s recap this webinar webinar. We opened our discussion with DDC controls and how they have some broad similarities to conventional control systems. We also talked about how DDC controls are an integration g of subsystems y that share information. This information sharing allows for system
Slide 21: Recap: AdaptAire DDC controls
You also heard about AdaptAire DDC controls controls. You learned that the AdaptAire DDC control system was designed specifically for Applied Air products. We talked about how easyy the system y is to install. You saw that the controls are as easy to use as turning a potentiometer or adjusting you h
Slide 22: Recap: monitoring points, integration, control module
You found out that the AdaptAire DDC control provide 40 different monitoring and control points as well as 10 system alerts. We talked about the advantages for 3rd party integration with our field configurable control modules. And we got a close look at a control module and its inputs and outputs. F
Slide 23: This concludes the first AdaptAire webinar
This concludes the first AdaptAire webinar webinar. I’ll I ll open the line for some questions questions. 23
