GLOSSARY OF TERMS
8.1
Acronyms
The table below explains the meanings of the most common acronyms used in this manual.
Acronym
Meaning
ems or
EMS
Energy Management
System
The Elstat range of products in this group are all energy management
systems.
XML
Extensible Mark-up
Language
XMLs are used by Elstat to transfer parameter sets to EMS controllers.
The XMLs (parameter sets) determine how a controller will operate.
SELV
Safety Extra Low
Voltage
IEC defines a SELV system as “an electrical system in which the voltage
cannot exceed ELV under normal conditions, and under single- fault
conditions, including earth faults in other circuits”.
Safety Extra Low Voltage as described in BS EN 60335 Household and
similar electrical appliances - Safety standards.
IEC
International
Electrotechnical
Commission
Publisher of international standards for all electrical, electronic and
related technologies.
IP
Ingress Protection
A protection rating achieved by the controller preventing intrusion and
water into the housing of the controller.
8.2
Controller and accessory terms
The table below describes the meanings of some of the terms used frequently within the manual in
relation to the controller and accessories.
Term
Meaning
Ready mode
The cooler is operational and cooling products to the set point.
Saving mode
The cooler is saving energy and cooling products to the saving set point.
Appliance sensor
A sensor which measures the temperature inside the cooler cabinet to give an
approximation of the product temperature inside.
Self-learning
How the EMS learns ready and saving periods.
Matrix
The matrix is populated according to activity levels and the EMS manages the cooling
system accordingly.
microRMD
A remote motion detector (sensor) supplied with controllers which do not have an
integrated motion detector. The microRMD can be fitted anywhere it can detect motion
allowing the controller to be installed out of sight.
Firmware
The code written into the EMS micro-controller containing the rules and algorithms of
operation. Every controller contains firmware and the version of firmware is identified
during power up by two, three digit numbers.
Checksum
The checksum is a ‘sum’ which identifies which parameter set - or XML file - has been
loaded onto a controller. It is unique to each parameter set.
