INTRODUCTION
Carrier
r
’s Energy Demand System provides reliable and
automated processes to manage the costs of energy consumption.
Carrier’s Energy Demand System uses wireless devices
incorporating patented Swarm Energy Management algorithms to
create a network of coordinated rooftop units to reduce and
optimize their energy usage.
This system creates a wireless
network of rooftop units with Energy Demand Load Controllers
communicating through the Energy Demand Gateway.
Each individual Load Controller can independently decide whether
it should allow its unit to run by a relay that can break the
connection between the rooftop unit and the thermostat. By
communicating energy information through the Gateway, units are
prevented from running simultaneously when it is not necessary,
thereby smoothing out peak demand over time. This method
provides the ability to accomplish Demand Management, Demand
Response, and energy trending over time.
Carrier offers two accessories that, when combined, make up the
Energy Demand System. This technology utilizes Swarm Energy
Management
t
methodology as a basis for the operating sequence:
S
Energy Management Gateway (Coordinator)
(Model Nos. CRDMNDGW001A00, CRDMNDGW002A00):
This model is packaged with a cellular modem and modem
enclosure, and is the first controller to be attached to a packaged
rooftop unit and powered up. This controller will both
monitor/control the attached rooftop unit, as well as act as a
communications gateway back to the Swarm Energy
Management Web Portal, a service provided by REGEN Energy,
Inc..

(Model Nos. CRDMNDMD001A00, CRDMNDMD002A00):
This load controller is installed on the remaining packaged
rooftop units that are to be monitored and controlled.
NOTE

Please ensure you have the correct Installation
Instructions for the given type of controller before continuing.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
RTU Checklist
Toward the end of this document, there is a RTU checklist that
must be filled out for every Gateway (Coordinator) installed. The
RTU checklist must be legible.
The RTU checklists need to be
scanned and emailed to [email protected] within 48
hours of the completion of the installation.
Providing this
checklist is vital to completing device set--up for operation.
