    AC gateways are for full control of most major brand ducted systems such as Daikin, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Toshiba, LG, Hitachi, Samsung, Carrier, Rinnai, Midea, Braemar and Gree. Each gateway comes with a RS485 cable for connecting the gateway with AirTouch 2+. Components...

  • Page 6: Configuration

    2. Configuration AirTouch 2+ System is a star architecture system that allows communications between AirTouch 2+ main control module, extension module, AC unit, WiFi router (to connect to smart phones and internet), up to 16 zone dampers, and up to two consoles. Figure below shows the connection of devices such as the WiFi router, AC indoor PCB, extension module, console, and eight dampers to the main module.
  • Page 7 Eight motorized dampers can be connected to the main control module. Nine dampers and above (up to 16) will need the extension module. The wiring of the AirTouch 2+ system is straightforward. A cable with central latched plugs connects a motorized damper to the relevant output port clearly marked on the main or extension module.

  • Page 9: Pre-Installation

    3. Pre-Installation Good planning leads to a successful zone system installation. Before installing and commissioning a zoning system, please complete the following listed tasks: Decide how many zones (dampers) are to be controlled in the system. Group zones according to customer’s requirements. Each group initially has one zone but can have up to a maximum of four zones (Example: There could be one or more zones going into a common area such as Kitchen/ Dining or Family/Dining room).

  • Page 10: Components Installation

    4. Components Installation 4.1 Mount the main and/or extension modules (if using more than 8 zones) by screwing the boxes to a roof frame or Polyaire Diffusion Fitting (PDF). Do not place the modules on top of the indoor unit. The high temperature between the roof and the indoor unit can damage the electronic components over time.
  • Page 11 4.6 Mount the supply air sensor in the supply air duct between the fan coil and the first damper and push the plug of supply air temperature sensor into the socket on the main module. 4.7 Connect the console to the ‘T’ port on the main module.
  • Page 12 4.10 Replace the side covers back on the main control and extension module once finished setting and commissioning. 4.11 Fit the Console to wall The plastic casing of the console consists of two halves. The front cover contains the PCB board along with the LCD/console. The back cover attaches to the wall as a mounting base.
  • Page 13 d. Cut the rectangular hole for the cable and fix the back base to the wall by using four screws on the marked positions. e. Retrieve the console cable (from main control module) out of the cable hole and plug it into the console. f.
  • Page 14 g. Gently push the front cover against the wall and make sure the back of front cover is flash against the wall. And then push the front cover downwards with two figures holding the top side of the front cover where there are two slots till the two snap-ons click in.

  • Page 15: Recommended Commissioning Procedure

    5. Recommended Commissioning Procedure When the AirTouch 2+ is first powered up, the Privacy Agreement page will come up. The installer or owner has to agree with the agreement to proceed with commissioning of the system. Tick to agree and press the Continue button to proceed.

  • Page 16: Parameters

    5.1 Parameters 5.1.1 Total Groups in the System For the purpose of group status display and spill zone calculation, the system needs to know the total number of groups to be installed. The factory default number is 8. IMPORTANT: This number must be equal to the total group number used in the system as planned in Pre-Installation process.

  • Page 17: Damper Rpm Setting

    5.1.7 Supply Air Sensors Up to four supply air sensors can be used in AirTouch 2+. They can be used for helping identify the actual mode of the AC unit when it’s set to Auto mode. Or they will be needed for the ducted systems without a gateway.

  • Page 18: Zone Setting

    The main module is for the zones in one AC and the extension module is for the zone in another. Electronic balancing feature of AirTouch 2+ offers the flexibility of balancing the amount of airflow to each zone electronically. Once the opening position of the damper is set, the damper will only open to this position.
  • Page 19 Zone Setting...

  • Page 20: Grouping Zones

    5.3 Grouping Zones For ease of control operation, multiple zones can be grouped together. The grouped zones are treated as one group with its own name and turned on or off together. Individual balanced damper position is not affected by grouping, which means zone balancing can be conducted before or after grouping.

  • Page 21: Spill Or Bypass

    5.4 Spill or Bypass Spill or bypass mode is a safety feature of the AirTouch 2+ system to prevent pressure from building up and causing duct damage. This usually occurs if someone has turned off all groups while the A/C unit is pumping air into the system leading to a pressure build-up (and potential of duct puncture, blow-offs or joints splitting).

  • Page 22: Enabling/Disabling Service Reminder

    5.5 Enabling/Disabling Service Reminder There is a built-in service reminder in the system for half year, one year and two years to automatically display an alert notifying customers that the air conditioning system is due for service. Installers can also use this feature to leave their details such as their names and contact number.

  • Page 23: Setting Up Ac Control

    But the AC names are still editable. In this case, AirTouch 2+ will have full control of the ACs such as operation modes, fan speeds and set point. The available gateways for the relevant ACs are Daikin, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Toshiba, LG, Hitachi, Samsung, Carrier, Rinnai, Actron (Slim), Midea, Haier, Braemar and Gree.

  • Page 24: Choose Ac Control Thermistor

    5.6.3 Choose AC Control Thermistor AC control temperature can be measured from AC (its wall controller or return air sensor) or the AirTouch 2+ console sensor. When there are two consoles installed in the system, the AC control sensor can be AC, Touchpad1, Touchpad2 or average of the two touchpad sensors.

  • Page 25: Set Ac Set Point Ranges

    To save energy, the AC set points can be confined in a range. Two ranges can be set in the AirTouch 2+, one for Cool mode and the other for Heat mode. Their values should be set within the ranges given by the AC manufacturer in the speci- fications.

  • Page 26: System Info

    With WiFi connected to the home router which has internet access, AirTouch 2+ will be able to update online and be accessed outside the home. Go to WiFi Connection section in the quick access menu to connect the AirTouch 2+ to the home router. The available WiFi networks will appear. Choose the correct one and key in the password to connect.
  • Page 27 The AirTouch 2+ console can also be used as a hotspot. Mobile devices can connect to it and run the AirTouch 2+ app to control the system. In this case, the mobile app cannot be used over the internet. Tick Enable Hotspot and configure the hotspot as required.
