1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Mini dap4 continues the tradition of advanced electronic devices from Data Aire for monitoring and control of
computer room air conditioning units which began in 1977. Each generation has provided more accurate monitoring
information and exibility in controlling the unit.
The Mini dap4 offers the denite answer for precision environmental control. The Mini dap4 control system not only
controls and monitors temperature, humidity, airow and cleanliness, but also provides component run times, alarm
history and an automatic self-test of the microprocessor. All messages are sequentially displayed on a backlit LCD
(liquid crystal display). The Mini dap4 can interface with a variety of building management systems (BMS).

2.0 GETTING STARTED
The Mini dap4 consists of two main components: the control module and the display panel. The control module is
located in the electrical panel. The display panel is remotely mounted. The two are connected by special telephone
type cable harness (units may be ordered with longer cables for optional remote wall mounting).
Note: Factory cable is required. This is a custom made cable and must be ordered from Data Aire. A regular telephone cable will not operate.
All data displayed on the display screen originates from the control module. The display panel has a backlit LCD (liquid crystal display). There are six keys on the face of the display panel to retrieve or enter settings.

2.1 POWERING the Unit ON/OFF
Before powering unit ON, check that power is available and proper connections have been completed.
Turn the disconnect switch to the ON position. The controller display keys and screen will illuminate and the processor will conduct a self-test (the screen will remain illuminated with no messages until the testing is complete). The
self-test takes approximately 20 seconds. Once completed, the Main Menu screen will be displayed. For initial programming of setpoints, alarms, delays, etc., it is not necessary to have the unit ON. With the unit in the “OFF by Key”
mode, all settings are available to view and change (other than Menus J – Factory Settings and L – Congure Inputs/
Outputs) if the proper password is entered.
The Main Menu screen will display the unit type, date and time, and unit status. In addition, the screen will scroll and
display the temperature, relative humidity and operating mode.
The Unit Status will indicate the unit: ”OFF by Key”
The unit may be turned ON at any time. Hold the ESC key for approximately 5 seconds. The display will continue to
scroll and display messages. At the same time the unit status is changed to “Unit On”. Once powered there will be a
5-600 second start delay indicated by “Time Before Start: XXs”.
Note: The start time delay is programmable from 5-600 seconds (Menu J – Factory Settings). The factory setting is 5
seconds.
2.2 ACCESSING MENUS/PASSWORDS
To access any Menu a numerical password is required. There are two levels of password:
• SERVICE LEVEL • FACTORY LEVEL
The SERVICE LEVEL password allows viewing and changes to the following Menus:
A. On/Off D. Input/Output G. Network Conguration K. Alarms/Limits
B. Setpoint E. Historical Data H. Calibrate Sensors
C. Clock/Scheduler F. Information I. Manual Control
The FACTORY LEVEL password allows changes to the SERVICE LEVEL Menus plus the following Menus:
J. Factory Settings L. Congure Inputs/Outputs
The ZONE MASTER is an optional feature and requires a factory provided activation code. Contact factory if ZONE
MASTER control is required.
8 • Mini dap4 User Manual
To enter the Menu and Sub-Menu screens, press the MENU key on the display panel. A password will be requested.
The password is a four digit entry (including 0). Units are shipped from the factory with the password requirement
bypassed to accommodate start-up and set-up.
The display screen will have the following message:

he value by pressing the UP or DOWN keys. Once the desired value is shown,
press the ENTER key to move to the next eld.
Once the correct password is entered and accepted, the Menus will display on the screen. Only those Menus allowed
through the Service Password will be available. Use the UP or DOWN keys to scroll through the available Menus.
Note: Factory Level Menus are for conguring the unit. The Mini dap4 controller is used for a variety of equipment
types. The controller is based on the unit type, unit components and options. Under normal circumstances these
menus should not be changed. If they need to be changed, please consult with Data Aire engineering or service personnel before proceeding.
2.2.1 Changing the Service Level Password
The Service Level password can be changed while the service level menu is active.
