Mr Slim Gets A Dive Buddy Dedicated To Standby Duty
Story
Anyone involved in the sport of scuba-diving knows the importance of having a dive buddy by your side with a complete set of secondary equipment on standby for use should the unexpected happen, well this summer the Mr Slim range of Outdoor units gets a dive buddy too, by the name of Duty-Standby.
Should the unexpected happen to the Mr Slim Master system, the Standby system will jump into action to ‘save the day’ providing an almost seamless transition between the primary and backup system.
This new Mr Slim Duty-Standby function is particularly suited to critical systems such as IT Server rooms. It can be used in three ways:
- The Back-Up function – if the Master systems fails then the Standby system takes over to provide continued service until the Master system can be restored to full operational status.
- The Rotation function – allows the two systems to operate alternatively switching every 1,3,5,7,14 or 28 days, this time period is user selectable. In this scenario the Master system operates and then after the preset time has expired, operation switches to the Standby system and this switching of operation continues back and forth every time the preset time expires. The ability to share operation and loads between two systems can increase time between maintenance visits as well as reducing downtime.
- The Join-In function – if the Master system is unable to reach the set temperature in cooling mode for example on a very hot day, the Standby system can join in to assist the Master system and to achieve the required temperature faster.
Selecting and configuring the Duty-Standby operation and settings can be achieved easily from the PAR-21 Wall mounted controller, supplied as the standard controller for the majority of the Mr Slim air conditioning range from Mitsubishi Electric.
These new functions are unique to the Mr Slim range and the Split system marketplace – for other systems more complex and expensive control solutions are required just to offer the same functionality that is offered by the new Mr Slim range as standard.
This new feature strongly reinforces the Mr Slim range as market leader in the split system marketplace, and increases the appeal of these systems for high availability critical system applications.
