1. AC Manager Overview

AC Manager stands for Advanced Central Control Manager, which is a PC control controller for monitoring and controlling of air conditioner and ventilation in each room of the building from one spot like control room. (Figure. Inside the building/Internet central control system/Outside the building)

AC Manager can specifically check the operation of each air conditioner and give control orders like the air conditioner operation, wind strength, user lock, temperature setting and etc. AC Manager can maintain the outdoor ventilator of the air conditioner up to 4096 rooms.

AC Manager can be connected to RMTS(Remote Total Management System) and if necessary, the entire system operation can be monitored through the Internet from outside.

In addition to basic function control like the operation control of AC Manager, if the schedule control and peak operation rate control function are used, unnecessary use of air conditioner can be avoided, saving energy and it is convenient to use.

GUI(Graphical User Interface) has been applied to all functions and settings provided in AC Manager, and clicking buttons on the screen with mouse enables you to use the program conveniently.

AC Manager can easily control the added or replaced air conditioner if new customer wants to add or replace it or additionally purchase it.

Convenient GUI

AC Manager can check the operation status, operation mode, wind strength, wind direction, lock, setting temperature, error and etc. of the air conditioner by selecting it individually, by group or entirely. The manager of the building with lots of air conditioners installed can simply control them from the central location if he has AC Manager installed in the control room.

The installed AC Manager can be managed by group. If you divide the air conditioners into groups by character, location and size, you can use them conveniently. In addition, you can provide easily identifiable names for setting groups and more intuitively manageable.

The air conditioner with AC Manager can self-diagnose the error status of 31 air conditioners and send it to central controller. Users can take care of its malfunction promptly making its maintenance easy. This function has a merit that extend the life of the air conditioner.

When there is no AC Manager, the central control program of the air conditioner, the manager used to manage lots of air conditioners by himself. However, with AC Manager program, all functions of the air conditioner can be controllable from the control room, so it takes only one manager to easily control all air conditioners.

Users don’t have to take special lessons to use AC Manager and he can use the program only by clicking buttons on the screen using the mouse. You can easily understand AC Manager using intuitive pictogram. In particular, in case of setting schedule, unlike prior version that required more than 30 times of button-clicks in order to enter one schedule, by applying the patent technology, simply moving the mouse and dragging the indicated period enables schedule setting.

Schedule auto operation maintenance / Saving energy

Remote control through the Internet

The schedule auto operation function of AC Manager can be set yearly, weekly and daily. The air conditioner can be on and off only when necessary, which brings excellent energy-saving effect. In particular, for the institutions with specific schedule for each semester, such as elementary, middle and high school and universities, this function maximizes the effect.

When using ACP as a server, using the Internet enables the control over all air conditioners through connection to ACP. If you control the air conditioner using web browser, you can use only basic control and monitoring function, not all functions of AC Manager.

AC Manager program is executed only when the authentication key is installed in PC. Therefore, AC Manager blocks user’s access without the key, so that the air conditioner can be safely controlled.

Security function using the authentication key

Note : ACP

ACP(Advanced Control Platform) is a central controller that up to 256 of air conditioners can be controlled in a space. ACP can be used to monitor the air conditioner and ventilation device installed in each room of a building in a place like control room or school administration room or

control the operation.
