THE SERIES EHU-700 COMMUNICATIONS LINK PROGRAM
An engineer in the central control room of a large facility served by several remotely located humidifiers
has previously only had an alarm signal to notify him of a problem. With the EHU-Link he can periodically
check the operation
of the
humidifiers and examine the diagnostic message remotely in the case
of an
alarm.
If actuating the tank contactor or drain valve will alleviate a problem, this can also be accomplished.
The EHU-Link is a communications program allowing information to be passed between Armstrong Series
EHU-700 electronic humidifiers and an IBM PC (or its equivalent). It is available on either
5-l/4” or 3 l/2” media. The program can address up to 10 Series EHU-700 humidifiers in a daisy chain
configuration using a dedicated serial communication port on the PC (choose 1 of 4) and a convertor
attachment. Communications is established using the RS-485 protocol, allowing up to 4,000 feet between
the computer and the final humidifier in the chain (see Figure 1). The EHU-Link program allows for
remotely controlling the tank contactor and drain valve, and allows complete monitoring
of all
Series EHU-
700 functions. These include; drain valve, fill valve, and tank contactor status, current consumption,
percent power and demand,
unit operating status, and
diagnostic message (if any).
All Series EHU-700s
equipped with an E-PROM
Version 3.6 or greater (Fig-
ure 3) are equipped to inter-
face directly with RS-485
communications lines.
Please contact Armstrong
International or your local
Armstrong Representative if
you wish to use EHU-Link
on a humidifier with an
E-PROM pre-dating this ver-
sion.
