About This Manual

1ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual applies to 963 version 3.0 software. It provides a description of how to use the 963. It is intended for a reader with no knowledge of the 963 who operates it on a daily basis. It is assumed that the system has already been set up and engineered to suit user requirements, and the user is familiar with basic computer use, and has knowledge of BMS. It is divided into several sections.

About 963

This section describes 963, and how it works.

The 963 Window

This section explains the different parts of the 963 Window.

Using 963

This section describes how to use 963 once it has been installed and engineered.

After having read and fully understood this manual the user will be familiar with the 963 Supervisor, the environment in which it operates, making changes to HVAC equipment parameters, coping with incoming alarms, and all other aspects of using the 963 on a day-to-day basis.

For details about using the 963 when accessing it from a web browser see the 963 Web User Guide (TC200631). Other relevant documentation is:

About 963

2ABOUT 963

Once engineered the 963 Supervisor provides the user with a system wide control panel with the facility to monitor and change the Building Management System (BMS) ensuring that the HVAC equipment operates safely and efficiently.

The use of colour graphics specially designed for the system displays this information in a simple and effective way. Graphs and pages of text information can be used to supplement monitored information. A fast and efficient communications network allows this information to be obtained from HVAC equipment that may scattered miles apart in different buildings, on other sites, or even other countries.

It enables the user to monitor HVAC equipment/building services, and make changes to the way the building is controlled using colour graphics displays. Fault reporting, analysis, and data recording features promote efficient HVAC equipment operation and effective energy use.

The information and adjustments available to a user can be exactly tailored to that user’s needs. This means that an operator is never presented with more data or options than he or she requires, thus eliminating a major source of potential confusion. However, for those whose job function demands it, access can be provided to detailed information on the BMS.

2.1The 963 Window

The 963 Window consists of six areas:

Data Display

The Data Display is where the 963 displays the selected information. In the example above, a schematic page is displayed, but information from other areas of 963 may also be displayed depending which button is selected, for example the Alarm Viewer, web pages etc.

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains 963’s menus, which provide access to the application’s various features.

About 963

Navigator

The Navigator appears on the left of the 963 Window, and provides a way of selecting the information that appears in the Data Display. For example, if a schematic page is displayed the Navigator will enable the page that is displayed to be selected, where as if the User Display is selected; it enables a particular user or workgroup to be selected.

Network Comms Status Lights

The Network Comms Status Lights appear at the bottom of the 963 Window. They provide information about the status of communications.

Selection Buttons

The Selection Buttons appear at the bottom of the Navigator. They provide access to the 963’s different displays. Access to these buttons can be protected, preventing unauthorised users accessing the displays.

Status Bar

The Status Bar is located at the bottom of the 963 Window and provides information about the version of 963 running, and the name of the user that is currently logged on as well as the current date and time.

2.1.1.1Alarm Viewer

The Alarm Viewer, shown below, displays the alarms that have been received. These alarms can be filtered by type to reduce the amount of data displayed.

It has four tabs:

Alarm History

The Alarm History tab stores all the alarms after they have been processed, whether or not they have been actioned by the user. The alarms can be viewed in Chronological View order or a Summary View.

The Summary View gives a count for each alarm type for each point, providing the following information: The label of the module that generated the alarm, its priority, the device that sent the alarm, a description of the alarm, and a count of how many alarm of that type have occurred.

The Chronological View displaysan alarm history sorted by time order, providing the following information: The time the alarm occurred, its priority, the label of the module that generated the alarm, a description of the alarm, the device that sent the alarm, and any text entered by the user when it was acknowledged.
