Advanced SmartAire M and PowerAire M 
Controller Guide

Tate’s SmartAire and PowerAire M units are factory configured for 
optimal performance in a typical data center environment. The 
installation of these units in most data center space will result in ideal 
performance without any user intervention. 

Some sites however have differing requirements, and the application 
of SmartAire and PowerAire M units may not be ideal based on a 
number of site conditions. These requirements have prompted Tate 
to publish an advanced guide to the SmartAire and PowerAire M 
controllers which will allow the expert user more precise control over 
the functionality of Tate’s product. 

This document is intended to be only a guide to the operation of the 
embedded controller. The user takes full responsibility when 
adjusting the default parameters set in all PowerAire and SmartAire 
M units when they leave our factory. Adjusts to these parameters 
may result in undesirable operation of the units, as well as decrease 
the life expectancy of the units themselves. It is suggest that only 
those users with a high level of experience in control methodology 
attempt to make these changes without direct consultation with 
Tate’s data center product management team. 

Please feel free to contact Tate with any questions regarding this 
operations guide.
