Installation and Maintenance Manual
Use this manual to physically connect the LonWorks Communication Module to the unit controller and
connect the air handler unit controller to your network. Connections and service to the MicroTech III
Air Handling Unit Controller must be performed only by personnel knowledgeable in the operation of
the equipment being controlled. Use the appropriate Engineering Data (ED), known as the Protocol
Information document, to integrate the unit into your network. The Protocol Information document
contains addressing details, LONWORKS® protocol information, and a list of the data points available to
the network. See the Reference Documents section of this manual for Protocol Information document
numbers. MicroTech III control integration literature is available from your local Daikin McQuay sales
representative and www.daikinmcquay.com.

General Information
Dangers indicate a hazardous situation which will result in death or serious injury if not
avoided.
Warnings indicate potentially hazardous situations, which can result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death if not avoided.
Cautions indicate potentially hazardous situations, which can result in personal injury or
equipment damage if not avoided.
Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
This equipment must be properly grounded. Connections and service to the Unit
Controller must be performed only by personnel knowledgeable in the operation of the
equipment being controlled.
Static sensitive components. Can cause equipment damage.
Discharge any static electrical charge by touching the bare metal inside the control panel
before performing any service work. Never unplug cables, circuit board terminal blocks, or
power plugs while power is applied to the panel.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with this instruction manual, may cause interference to
radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his or her own expense. Daikin McQuay disclaims any liability
resulting from any interference or for the correction thereof.
This manual contains the information you need to install a MicroTech III LONWORKS Communication
Module and integrate it into the network.

Description
A MicroTech III LONWORKS Communication Module provides the interface between a MicroTech
III Rooftop or Self-Contained Unit Controller (i.e. Applied Rooftop, Self-Contained, Maverick II™ or
Rebel™ Unit) and a LONWORKS Local Operating Network (LON). It translates the LonTalk®
variables used on the network to the variables used in the unit controller and vice versa. It translates
in accordance with the LONMARK Functional Profile. Profiles are interpreted in loaded programs
(firmware).
The LONWORKS Communication Module is a printed circuit board with a plastic enclosure that
connects onto the left side of the Unit Controller (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. LONWORKS Communication Module Attached to the Unit Controller
Application
A LONWORKS Communication Module connects the Unit Controller to the building automation
system (BAS) on a LONWORKS network. It is the interface adapter for the exchange of LonTalk
variables between the network and the unit controller. The LONWORKS Communication Module
translates the LonTalk variables of the profile into the native information of the unit controller. Refer
to the MicroTech III Air Handling Unit Controller Operation Manual, OM 920 for keypad details.
Component Data
Figure 2 shows the location of the major components of the LONWORKS Communication Module.
