The Run Standby Panel You Can Run From Your Mobile
Story
Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new Run Standby (RS) panel that replaces existing models to control up to eight systems on the Mr Slim or M Series range of air conditioning products.
The new RS_SMS Panel replaces the RS1 / RS2 / RS3 panels in one solution yet is both smaller and up to 33 per cent less expensive than previous models, whilst offering an optional SIM card facility to give full control from a mobile phone and allow the system to send text messages to report errors.
RS Panels are ideal for air conditioning systems serving computer rooms as they help maintain and control the constant temperatures required in the most energy efficient way possible. The panel allows operators to programme the operation of the systems allowing up to seven to act as a standby while the other systems operate.
This has the benefit of ensuring that units act as a back-up if any system should fail, or it can rotate the operation and share the workload between units to help prolong equipment life, or switch on additional systems if capacity is not achieved by the units running.
“We have looked to improve the panel in every area including making it easier to install with a 2-core cable connection for each indoor,” explains Philip Ord, Product Marketing Manager for Mitsubishi Electric. “At the same time, we have brought a product to the market that is smaller and offers more functions whilst being available at a lower price than previous models.”
The panel will monitor the connected systems and warn of errors or discrepancies, sending an SMS text message to an operator’s mobile phone and operators also have full control of the SMS panel via text.
“We have designed the new panel to offer complete flexibility for operators in how they control their standby configurations,” adds Ord. “The optional SMS text feature provides fault monitoring and remote control via a mobile phone.”
