2.7 Central Alarm Contact
The Central Alarm Contact (CAC) (Figure 3-9) consists of a normally closed dry contact
energized by a control system alarm output that is connected to a Building Management System
(BMS) or an optional auto dialer. When an alarm condition occurs, that contact opens,
interrupting the circuit from the BMS (or other system) to indicate an alarm. The CAC is only
triggered by shut-down alarms.
The connection point to the BMS is a receptacle on the back panel of the chamber. This
receptacle is connected to a relay that operates when a chamber alarms. The receptacle
connections must be wired according to the electrical drawings. The electrical load must be
within the rating of the technical specifications. The receptacle is mated with the plug and then
screwed tightly together.
2.8 Central Management System (Optional)
For use in conjunction with the 60
00 series controllers, the Conviron Central Management™
(CM) system provides a comprehensive suite of time-saving, value-added features for remote
control and monitoring of chambers, such as:
•
A supervisory dashboard that provides a quick overview of all operational chambers.
Thumbnail properties that show essential chamber management details.
•
Triggers that protect the experiment by alerting designated personnel.
•
Risk management that includes auto backup and restore, system protection, disaster
recovery, and file restoration.
•
Data management capabilities that include collection and storage.
Refer to the Conviron Central Management Operator`s Manual for complete instructions.
2.9 CMP-Link (Optional)
The CMP-LINK feature enables Argus Titan 900 full interaction of any Conviron chamber or
room that is equipped with CMP6060 control system. With CMP-LINK enabled, features of Titan
900 such as scheduling and programming, table views for data, comprehensive graphing, real-
time status (including alarms, sensors and IOs), retrieval and exporting of chamber data, time
synchronization, and a remote interface are available for the chamber.

door through a 38
″ high by 9.5″ wide (650mm by 240mm) window in the door.
•
Phenolic Coated Refrigeration Coil
– available for use in insect research.
•
Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) - provides surge protection and emergency
power to the controller only in the case of a facility power interruption.
•
Water Cooled Condensing Unit
– used when a facility has a water chiller system, or
when an air-cooled condenser system will add unwanted heat into the room.
