XI. APPENDIX
A. Serial Network Connection
NOTE: THE AIR CURTAIN MUST HAVE BEEN ORDERED
FROM THE FACTORY WITH THIS OPTION.
NOTE: ONLY AIR CURTAINS FROM THE SAME SERIES CAN BE
NETWORKED TOGETHER. IF UNITS FROM DIFFERENT SERIES
ARE NETWORKED AN ER61 WILL DISPLAY EVERY TIME A
COMMAND IS ENTERED.
Serial Network Connection Operation
A serial cable connection must be made between all
Intelliswitch™ controls of each air curtain to be linked. Once air
curtains are linked all Menu settings made through any air
curtain display or remote control will transfer to all other linked
air curtains. Parameter changes made on any linked air curtain
will update all other boards “live” upon menu selections.
1. All air curtains equipped with an Intelliswitch and the
Serial Communication Option have two RJ11
connectors (telephone plug) located in the wiring
compartment with the corresponding RJ11 socket
(telephone jack) on each end. Serial cable(s) are
shipped separately.
2. Once the air curtains are installed, serial (in-line)
connect all units that are to be networked together
using the serial cable(s). Connect cable to either RJ11
socket in the wiring compartment from unit to unit.
For example, two units networked together require
one cable and leaves an unused connector on each
unit. Three units networked together requires two
serial cables, leaves two units with one connector
unused and one unit with both connectors used.
3. The wiring diagram in the wiring compartment or on
the bottom cover of each air curtain illustrates the
provision where the serial cable is connected to
network additional air curtains.
4. Once all air curtains are serial connected together and
powered, the units can be operated from any hand
held remote or display of a unit on the network. All
program settings are included in the installation
instructions shipped with the air curtain.
5. Models AE08-E and AE10-E air curtains include a
wireless controller that works with the Berner App.
When connected to the local Wi-Fi network, they can
be programmed from a smart phone using the Berner
AIR™ App.
Serial Network Connection - Settings
When units with the Intelliswitch™ are operated on a Serial
network there are three options under the Programming Menu
that manage how they interact with each other.
•
Door Switch (door)
•
Thermostat (temp)
•
Stop (Stop)
Each option can be set to “ind” or “ALL”.
“ind” = the option only is activated on this unit or independent
of the other units
“ALL” = the option activates ALL units on the network
1. To access the Serial Network Connection options hold
the "+" for 5 seconds and “Pro” will display.
2. Use the up/down arrows to locate the desired option
(door/temp/Stby).
3. When located, press the "√" to enter setting.
4. Use the +/- arrow to change the setting between “ind”
and “ALL” and press "√" to accept. Press "√" to exit.
EXAMPLE: Door Switch function
If set to independent, the door switch connected to a unit will
only activate that unit. If set to ALL, all of the connected units
set to ALL will activate.
EXAMPLE: Thermostat function
If set to independent, the thermostat connected to a unit will
only activate that unit. If set to ALL, all of the connected units
set to ALL will activate.
EXAMPLE: Stop function
If set to independent, when STOP is pressed only the unit
where STOP is pressed will stop. If set to ALL, all of the
connected units set to ALL will stop.
B. Remote Wall Mounted Touchscreen
1. If the unit was ordered with a remote wall mounted
touchscreen, the air curtain will come pre-wired with a
power-over-ethernet (PoE) connection in the wiring
compartment to power the tablet. Connect a CAT 5
ethernet cable for low voltage power with a max.
length of 300' (provided by others).
