General Information
Use this manual to physically install the communication module onto the Unit Ventilator Unit
Controller board and to make the wiring connections to your network. You also need the appropriate
McQuay Engineering Data Sheet known as the Protocol Information to integrate the unit into your
network. The Protocol Information contains addressing details, N2 Open protocol information, and a
list of the data points available to the network. See the Reference Documents section of this
document for part numbers of Protocol Information manuals. These documents are available from
your local McQuay International representative and for downloading at the McQuay International
web site: www.mcquay.com.
Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel that are knowledgeable in the
operation of the equipment being controlled must perform connections and service to the
MicroTech II control panel.
Static sensitive components. Can cause equipment damage.
!
WARNING
!
CAUTION
Description
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.
NOTICE
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. McQuay International disclaims any liability resulting from any interference or
for the correction thereof.
A MicroTech II N2 Open communication module incorporates a MicroTech II Unit Controller into
an N2 Open Local Area Network (LAN). This combination provides an interface to the buildingautomation network.
The MicroTech II N2 communication module is a printed-circuit board that plugs onto the
MicroTech II Unit Controller board. Figure 1 shows an outline drawing of the N2 communication
module with reference dimensions.
