General Characteristics 

System 2500 is a microprocessor-based electronic controller developed in compliance with the 
European RoHS standards.  It provides a solution for many applications in the air-conditioning and 
refrigeration sectors ensuring absolute versatility, allowing specific products to be created to 
customer request.  CONTROLLER runs the control program, and is fitted with the set of terminals 

required for connection to the devices (compressors, fans…). The program and the parameters 

are saved to FLASH-MEMORY and E2promfor safe keeping even in the event of power failures 
(without requiring a backup battery).  CONTROLLER also allows connection to the cLAN (Compu-
Aire Local Area Network) and can be connected, as well as to other System 2500S controllers.  All 
the controllers in the cLAN can exchange information (variables, digital or analogue, depending on 
the application software used) at high transmission speed. Up to 32 units can be connected via
