Safety and Installation

For your own safety, please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions. Improper

handling can damage the device.

Cleaning:

Do not use any liquid cleaner or corrosive agent but only a dampened cloth.

Installation:

Installation should be performed by certified personnel only.

Use caution when mounting sensors outside the cabinet, watch out for sharp metal edges.

Mounting:

The RMC fits into a 19’’ Rack and requires one rack unit space.

The RMC has an internal power unit and connects to a 230 VAC outlet. It is recommended

to have the RMC connected to an UPS.

RMC

Digital Inputs:

The totally 8 digital Inputs are connected as follows:

Inputs 1 and 2 have a 24V supplied (10mA max) for powering external sensors, e.g. a

smoke detector.

Inputs 3 and 4 are potential free.

Inputs 5, 6, 7 and 8 have the same characteristics as Input 1 und 2.

The 24 VDC supply voltage is protected against short circuits.

Important:

Consider the configuration “normally open”

or “normally closed”. If there is 24VDC

supplied to an input, the RMC recognizes

this condition as “ON”. Choose “normally

closed”when this corresponds to the

standard condition.

Analogue Inputs:

The 4 analogue inputs are connected as follows:

Input 1, 2 and 3 are for temperature sensors. The RMC is configured to recognize the

temperature sensors listed on the accessories list.

Input 4 is designed for a sensor which supplies a signal of 4-20 mA e.g. a humidity sensor.

The 24 VDC supply voltage is protected against short circuits, the 4-20 mA input is

protected against over current.

Important:

If there is only one temperature sensor

connected, it has to be installed on analogue

input 1 (Connector 17 + 18).

Connector 23: +24V

Connector 24: 4-20 mA

Connector 25: 0V

RMC

Alarm / Door Relay:

The Alarm/Door Relays (max. 1A) are connected as follows:

Output for Alarm and Door are potential free. The output “Relay Alarm”can be used for

an external horn or warning light. In addition, one of the 8 digital inputs can be configured

to be the external horn acknowledgment.

The output ”Relay Door”can be used to control an electric locking system to open the

door when an alarm is raised. There is also the possibility to connect a keypad to the

code-lock interface.

Important:

If the Code Lock Unit for Emka 2100 (accessory) is in use, do not connect pins 29 and 30

since the Emka systems has its own power supply.

Power Relays:

The 3 power relays are connected as follows:

The potential-free outputs can control

fans, cooling systems or heating elements

(with thermostat) up to 5A max.

RMC opens or closes this relays e.g.

when a temperature limit is reached and

an alarm is raised. The outputs can also

be controlled manually by the web

browser interface or programmed to be in

a “NO” “NC” condition after a power

outage or reboot. This can proof very

helpful to control the power supply for a

Server or Router.

RMC

Commissioning

The Rack Multi Control is developed for smooth and user friendly configuration. When

delivered from the factory the RMC is configured to monitor one temperature and to generate

an alarm on channel 1 if the temperature reaches the high limit value of 60 degrees Celsius.

When power is connected the RMC backlight activates and

the latest firmware is displayed. The backlight can also be

activated be pressing any of the navigation buttons and

remains on for about 5 seconds.

When the code lock accessory is used in conjunction with the Emka swing handle the

backlight turns on when the door unlocks and turns off when locked.

Next a lamp test is performed to insure their functionality. All channel indicators light up, first

green then red. After a few seconds the temperature on sensor one is displayed.

When the sensor is installed in the wrong manner the RMC

will display “Temp sensor error!”If there is only one

temperature sensor connected, it must be installed on

analogue Input 1.

The 8 digital und 4 analogue inputs are shown by the 8 alarm channels. When an alarm is

raised, the corresponding visual alarm indicator lamp starts flashing red, the internal buzzer

goes off and the display lists the event. The alarm is acknowledged by pressing any of the

navigation buttons. The buzzer stops and the corresponding alarm lamp changes from

flashing red to steady red if the fault signal remains or extinguishes when the fault signal is

resolved.

Depending on the configuration, the 3 potential-free outputs can actuate a fan can be

activated via an output relay and an alarm message is send via an Email and/or a

mobile text message (optional GSM modem necessary) or a SNMP Trap. Also, one of

8 digital inputs can be configured to monitor the status of the fan and displays it via

the associated green lamp.

RMC

Factory settings:

To restore the factory settings follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the power cord

2. Wait a few seconds

3. Press and hold navigation button “Left”

4. Reconnect the power cord

5. Release navigation button “Left”when

“Factory setting”is shown on the display.

6. Press navigation button “Up”and hold for a

few seconds, the factory settings will be

restored. Press the navigation button

“Down”to abort the operation.

Network installation:

The RMC connects to the Network by Ethernet and a standard patch cable. In case the front

interface is used, it requires a crossed patch cable. In this case, it is necessary to set an IP

address and Subnet mask on the PC used for configuration.

The IP address on the RMC is set by using the navigation buttons on the device itself. Use

the button “Down”and scroll to “Change IP address”,then button “Right”to select the

first group of numbers and change the value with the buttons “Up”and “Down”.The RMC

will store the settings automatically and changes back to the main display. The same and

further functions are available on a PC when connected.

When a PC is connected the RMC received the IP Address 192.168.0.101. After

entering the IP address in the web browser the RMC asks for username and

password:

The factory setting is: Username = rmc

Password = rmc

If the login is successful the main page of

the graphic user Interface appears.

RMC

Graphic User Interface (PC terminal):

It is recommended to use the Internet Explorer as web browser.

The upper part of the PC terminal displays the front of the RMC and shows the 8 Alarm

channels as well as the RMC display. In the lower part, a list of the last 15 events is shown,

the latest event being listed at the top. Events caused by an alarm are written in red,

acknowledgements and other events in black. The main page is renewed every 60 seconds

or by a new event. In case of a reboot the list of events is erased and “RMC Reboot”

appears.

Set time and date:

In consideration of the environment and to avoid unnecessary maintenance the RMC has a

calendar clock without backup battery. Each time the RMC starts up the time and date is set

to 1980-01-01 00:00:00 and starts counting. All events will be stored with this temporary time

and date. After the first web login, time and date is set by the calling computer. The RMC

calculates the time difference and adds this to all stored events. At each login the time and

date is set again. The time calculation occurs only once at start up. The calendar clock never

needs to be set manually.

RMC

Door opener:

Rack Multi Control has a built in door opening function. In conjunction

with an electronic locking mechanism, the door can be controlled by a

4 to 8 digit code. The opening mechanism has an adjustable response

time of 1 to 60 seconds. The function can also be activated by a virtual

"open door" button on the PC screen.

Alarm reset:

When an alarm is raised, the channel indicator lamp starts blinking in

red, both on the RMC and on the main web page. By pressing any of

the front panel buttons or by clicking this button “Alarm reset” on the

PC screen, the alarm will be acknowledged.

Settings:

The button “Settings” opens the pages for configuration.

Support:

The “help”button links to the support web site, where the latest

documentation is available.

Outputs:

This buttons can be freely named and can be used to manually

operate the potential-free outputs or show their status depending on

the configuration.

Important:

This function is disabled if the potential-free outputs are configured for

a different function.
