* Use Distribution ratio – Maintenance – Indoor unit settings on the menu bar to

assemble tenant groups and sort their display order.

* The fan speed conversion coefficients for weighting factor balance totals are set

using Distribution ratio - Maintenance - Distribution ratio settings screen on the
menu bar.

• Weighting factor balance :The total of balances calculated from the conversion
coefficients for each fan speed and the capacities of indoor units,

only for thermostat On (high, medium, low fan speed) time.
Weighting factor = (fan speed x fan speed conversion value) x indoor unit

capacity

* The Adapter value display uses the same time (hhmm) as the adapter, but the

Balance total and Weighting factor balance total displays use the time with
minutes converted to the equivalent number of hours.
For example 3:30 becomes 3.50. (The same is true for Excel output, so this
method is used to facilitate time calculations when the data is loaded into Excel).

4-5-5. Registering unit prices

4-5-5-1. Registering Price rate of electric power

Set Price rate of electric power. The distribution ratios, calculated using simple
distribution or Load distribution, are multiplied by the electricity usage calculated
from the power quantity from the pulse meter, and then by the electricity unit price to
produce the charge for each tenant.
Unit price can be set in the range 0.000–9.999£/kWh.
If the time zone totals calculation function is used for the calculation, separate unit
prices are set for regular hours, out of hours, and specified days, so it is possible
to set, for example, a slightly higher rate for out of hours usage, to vary the level of
billing with the time zone. Conversely, if the unit price was set for "All hours", a single
calculation can be performed, regardless of time zones.
The results of these two calculation types are displayed together in the "All hours"
list.

4-5-5-2. Registering Price rate of gas cost

Set the unit price for gas charges. The distribution ratios, calculated using simple
distribution or Load distribution, are multiplied by the gas usage calculated from
the gas quantity from the pulse meter, and then by the gas unit price to produce the
charge for each tenant.
Unit price can be set in the range 0.000–9.999£/m3.
If the time zone totals calculation function is used for the calculation, separate unit
prices are set for regular hours, out of hours, and special days, so it is possible to
set, for example, a slightly higher rate for out of hours usage, to vary the level of

5. Supplementary Information

 Personal Computers
Use a personal computer exclusively for the P-AIMS System.
Sharing the PC with any other system could cause problems.

 Data backup
The PC used with the P-AIMS System could break down, so you are advised to back up data to

an external hard drive or other storage. For more information, contact your dealer or service
provider.
NOTE: When the drive name of an external hard disk drive is changed, it is not possible to
back up.

 Power outages
We recommend use of a UPS device (uninterruptible power supply) to protect the P-AIMS in

the event of a power outage. For more information, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Please note that we will not provide compensation in the following circumstances:
Any fault caused by a third party becoming aware of a password.
Any fault caused by sharing a PC between P-AIMS and another application.

 Acquisition of accumulated data
When accumulated data is acquired, it passes through two communication lines, from the

indoor unit group to the AMY adapter, and from there to the P-AIMS system. Please note, it
is possible that regular hours data may be received as out of hours data, due to the timing of
communications and any related delays.

 Limitations on changing settings
Some types of air conditioners are limited in the settings which they support.
For example, cooling-only air conditioners cannot be set to heating.
Floor-type models typically support only high fan speeds.
Ceiling mounted models do not have flaps, and therefore cannot change the fan direction.
You should be aware of the limitations of the air conditioner models in your system.
For more information, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Standby power
The system performs distribution calculations on the basis of indoor unit operating time.

Therefore it does not count power consumed while stopped (on standby).

For example, if no units are operated over the course of a month, no standby power

consumption is distributed to any tenant. However if a unit is operated for even one minute,
then all of the standby power consumption is distributed to the corresponding tenant.

For load distribution, distribution is made with standby power added.

 Only alarm codes are displayed in the notification bar and alarm log display.
The content of an alarm can vary for different models, even if the alarm code is the same.

Consult the documentation of the various models to determine the content of the alarm.

 Because of data transmission delay, the totals and distribution data displayed by the system

for different time zone (regular hours, out of hours, special days) may not be counted in a
completely accurate fashion.

39

 Cut off processing for the previous day is performed every day for a few minutes after

midnight. The system may not respond to user input during this processing.

 After the settings of an indoor unit are changed from the P-AIMS System, the display may

revert temporarily to the former settings. This is more likely to occur with all-unit operations.
The cause is communications delay, not any malfunction in the system. If you wait a few
minutes, the display will show the correct information.

 When errors occur while operating during a thunderstorm or because of electromagnetic

interference.
Power the terminal off and then on again.
As a rule, the system should be powered off only in cases such as the above.
Correct management of air conditioning is not possible when the system is powered off.

 About distribution ratios and energy usage
The formulas used by this system to calculate air conditioning distribution ratios and energy

usage are only approximations. They normally do not yield the same amounts that appear on

bills from electric and gas utilities.
Depending on operating conditions, there may be a margin of error between distribution

ratios and actual air conditioning amounts.
There may also be a small margin of error between the following, due to the rounding

algorithms used in distribution ratio calculations.

· “Distribution ratios of tenants in a group” and “100.0000%”

· “Total of distribution ratios” and “Overall tenant distribution ratio”

· “Total of usage by each tenant” and “Total usage indicated by pulse meters”

· “Total of usage during regular hour, out of hours, and specified days time zones” and “Total

of all hours time zones”
This product does not measure energy directly, but uses the ratios of loads estimated for each

indoor unit to calculate distribution (proportional allocation). The results of the calculations

should be regarded as approximations.

 About operating time totals
Air conditioning distributions and air conditioner operating times are calculated only for

periods in which the system is powered on and in which there are no communications errors

between the system and the air conditioners.
Therefore, no totals are accumulated for times when the system is powered off or in which

communications errors occur.
You should be aware that errors in distribution ratios will become larger if conditions like the

above continue for a longer period of time.

40 41

 Situations in which major errors are likely to occur in calculations of distribution ratios etc.
In some of the semi-central-type and floor-type air conditioners and older models with electric

heaters, major errors are likely to occur in calculations of air conditioning distribution ratios

and other figures.
Also, if pan-type humidifiers with high power consumption are used, the distribution

calculation does not reflect humidification operation time, so major errors result.
For more information, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Setting the current date and time
The current date and time should be set on a regular basis, since the clock of an ordinary PC

can gain or lose up to about two minutes per month.

 Passwords
Passwords should be recorded and saved in a safe place. They should never be disclosed to

third parties.
If you forget your password, contact your dealer or service provider.

 Interface adaptors (sold separately)
Interface adaptors (CZ-CAPC2)

You can use on/off local adaptors to connect equipment that can be turned on and off

(fans, room air conditioners and so on) to the system.

However, note that the following limitations apply.

For details, refer to the documentation of the equipment or contact your dealer or

service provider.

About distribution calculations Important

[1]Fan speed data

Accumulated operation time for each fan speed is fixed at medium fan speed.
Accumulated time for thermostat On is counted as fixed to Medium fan speed even
when a thermostat On signal input is connected to the local adapter.

[2]Indoor unit capacity value

Values cannot be loaded automatically.
Contact your dealer or service provider about settings.

[3]Product type

It is not possible to distinguish between PAC and GHP models.

Reference

 Distribution ratio calculation (for simple distribution)

This section explains how air conditioning consumption distribution ratio and charges etc. are
calculated by the P-AIMS system. The P-AIMS system is a common product for both electric
package air conditioners (PAC) and gas heat pump air conditioners
(GHP), so distribution ratios and air conditioning consumption are calculated by different
methods for PAC and GHP.

1. Parameters as listed below are used for calculations:
 RHHi : Accumulated operation time for indoor unit i (High fan speed)
 RHi : Accumulated operation time for indoor unit i (Medium fan speed)
 RLi : Accumulated operation time for indoor unit i (Low fan speed)
 SHHi : Thermostat ON accumulated time for indoor unit i (High fan speed)
 SHi : Thermostat ON accumulated time for indoor unit i (Medium fan speed)
 SLi : Thermostat ON accumulated time for indoor unit i (low fan speed)
 PSi : Capacity of indoor unit i (equivalent kW value)
 HH : Weighting coefficient for high fan speed (0.50-1.00).
 H : Weighting coefficient for medium fan speed (0.50-1.00).
 L : Weighting coefficient for medium fan speed (0.50-1.00).

* - are the sums of thermostat On accumulated operation time and thermostat Off

accumulated operation time at each fan speed.

- are the thermostat On accumulated operation times at each fan speed.

2. Distribution ratio calculation formulae
Use the following formulae to find suitable power consumption indices for indoor unit i.
(1)Outdoor unit distribution

For a PAC system
The convenient outdoor power consumption index TEOi for indoor unit i is
TEi =(SHHi× HH+SHi× H+SLi× L)× PSi
The convenient outdoor energy consumption index TGi for indoor unit i is
TGi=0

For GHP systems
The convenient outdoor power consumption index TEOi for indoor unit i is
TEi =(RHHi× HH+RHi× H+RLi× L)× PSi
The convenient outdoor energy consumption index TGi for indoor unit i is
TGi =(SHHi× HH+SHi× H+SLi× L)× PSi

(2)Indoor unit distribution

Common for both PAC and GHP
The convenient outdoor power consumption index TEIi for indoor unit i is
TEIi =(RHHi× HH+RHi× H+RLi× L)× PSi
The outdoor electricity consumption index TOTALOe and outdoor gas consumption index

TOTALg, and indoor electricity consumption index TOTALIe for the distribution group as a

whole are the totals of TEOi, TGi and TEIi for all indoor units in the group (m units).
TOTALOe=TEO1+TEO2+········+TEOm
TOTALg=TG1+TG2+·······+TGm
TOTALle=TEl1+TEl2-·······+TElm

Therefore, the outdoor electricity consumption distribution ratio REOi, outdoor gas

consumption distribution ratio RGi and indoor electricity consumption distribution ratio

REIi for indoor unit i are the ratios of the consumption indices between the indoor unit

concerned and the group as a whole, so

REOi(%)=TEOi ÷ TOTALOe × 100
RGi(%)=TGi ÷ TOTALg × 100
REli(%)=TEli ÷ TOTALle × 100

(Distribution groups can be set separately for outdoor units and indoor units.)

Outdoor electricity usage distribution ratio NEOj, outdoor gas usage distribution ratio NGj

and indoor electricity usage distribution ratio NEIj in tenant units can be calculated as

follows, where n is the number of indoor units belonging to tenant j.

NEOj(%)=REO1+REO2+········+REOn
NGj(%)=RG1+RG2+······+RGn
NElj(5)=REl1+REl2+······+REin

*Distribution ratios are rounded at the fifth decimal place and shown to the fourth decimal

place.

3. Air conditioning usage calculation method
 NEOj : Outdoor electricity usage distribution ratio (%) for tenant j.
 NGlj : Outdoor gas distribution ratio (%) for tenant j.
 NEIj : Indoor electricity usage distribution ratio (%) for tenant j.
 PeO : Accumulated outdoor electricity usage value for the group concerned.
 Pel : Accumulated indoor electricity usage value for the group concerned.
 Pg : Accumulated outdoor gas value for the group concerned.
 @E : Unit charge for electricity charges (£) (0.000-9.999).
 @G : Unit charge for gas charges (£) (0.000-9.999).

Air conditioning usage for each tenant is found by allocating the usage for the group as a whole
according to the distribution ratio for each tenant, so in the following formulae, MMEj is the
electricity usage and MMGj is the gas usage for tenant j.

MMEOj(kwh)=PeO×NEOj

MMGj(m3)=Pg×NGj

MMElj(kwh)=Pel×NElj

Outdoor electricity usage charge MEOj, outdoor gas usage charge MGj, and indoor electricity

usage charge MEIj for tenant j are

MEOj(£)=MMEOj×@E
MGj(£)=MMGj×@G
MElj(£)=MMElj×@E

4. Screen Display
NEOj (%) is displayed in the outdoor electricity distribution ratio space.
NGj (%) is displayed in the outdoor gas distribution ratio space.
NEIj (%) is displayed in the indoor electricity distribution ratio space.

2. Distribution ratio calculation method
The following parameters are used.

 NEj : Electricity distribution ratio (%) for tenant j
 NGj : Gas distribution ratio (%) for tenant j
 PE1 : Accumulated pulse value from electricity meter 1 for the group concerned.
 PE2 : Accumulated pulse value from electricity meter 2 for the group concerned.
 PG : Accumulated pulse value from the gas meter for the group concerned.
 @E : Unit charge for electricity usage (£/kWh) (0.000-9.999).
 @G : Unit charge for gas usage (£/m3) (0.000-9.999).

,  and  are the accumulated pulse counter values of the electricity and gas meters

registered for the use of the group concerned.

When multiple pulse meters are registered for a single distribution group, the totaled values

each for electricity and for gas are used.

 and  are user-specified currency values indicating the £ equivalent of a unit of usage input

from the pulse meter.

The usage charge for each tenant is found by allocating the usage charge for the distribution

group as a whole according to the distribution ratio for each tenant, so in the following
formulae, MEj is the electricity usage charge and MGj is the gas usage charge for tenant j.

MEj(£)=(PE1 × @E)× NEj
MGj(£)=(PG1 × @G)× NGj

For PAC systems, NGj=0%, so MGj is Y0.
However, for a HOT system,

MGj(£)=(PG1 × @G)× NGj
