π Tender Overview
Healthy HVAC systems are essential for health wellbeing and safety of building occupants. So its good to know that intelligent drives from Danfoss continuously monitor the complete installation for readiness and optimal functionality.This process includes automatic test of the complete installation performed by the drive. The test covers the whole cable installation including connection boxes. It checks that the service switch is set to On for operation. The drive measures that the motor is completely ready to operate to ensure the application is ready to run as the very moment it is needed.Automatic surveillance reduces manual maintenance This automatic surveillance reduces the number of manual maintenance and operational checks required. Instead the system informs when something is wrong. These automatic alerts are especially important to ensure the Fire Emergency Mode application built into the VLT HVAC Drive FC 102 is fully operable when needed. The Fire Emergency Mode functionality protects personnel and secures inventory in the event of a fire in the building. It ensures that the drive runs to dead to ventilate rooms and stairwell escape routes for as long as possible allowing for a safe exit to protect building occupants from the fire. It also means that the normal ventilation system switches to a smoke extraction system to remove dangerous smoke and minimize damage to inventory.Protect your drive and keep normal operation of your applicationFire Emergency Mode suppresses alarms created to protect the drive and the normal operation of the application. It offers multiple alternatives for controlling the ventilation system delivering maximum flexibility to ensure the smoke is either cleared out of the building in the best possible way or stays out of the escape route entirely.The motor test function makes the Fire Emergency Mode even more reliable and safe whilst reducing the maintenance effort required.Your benefitsReduced test effort due to automated testing of the complete motor control chain even without running the motorIncreased availability of seldom-used motors such as smoke extraction fansPredictive fault detection to secure smoke extractionPotential to reduce the numbers of visits and tests by public authorities because the system is self-monitoring and in the event of a fault will provide immediate notification.
