Security best practices Cyber security disclaimer Security best practices Network setup must avoid direct connection from Internet to the end device. - Implement Port security to disallow connection and network participation of unauthorized laptops/devices to a switch. - Unauthorized access must be prevented by physical security measures. Thus, access to devices (controllers) must be limited to only those person who require it. Equipment can further be monitored via CCTV.
1 Before You Begin 1 Before You Begin Prerequisites: ● ● ● ABT Site (33.2.325.0 or higher) ABT Go (36.0.904.0 or higher) All needed mechanical documentation (plans and specifications) are available CAUTION Be aware of the following - Technician must provide User name (typically Balancer) - Technician must provide Password(s) - Technician provides necessary connection cable(s) Caution: Duct area is calculated by the application.
Step 1 - Preparing A Project Step 1 - Preparing A Project 1.1 Open ABT Site. 1.2 Click Settings to configure the tool settings. Review all items. Settings – User interface a. A6V11672234_en--_a User interface: (reference the above graphic as you review the choices) ● Tool language - The language setting of the user interface. A restart is required for changes to take effect. ● Application engineering - The language setting for project data, typically same as Tool language.
Step 1 - Preparing A Project Settings – Project and paths b. Project and paths: (reference the above graphic as you review the choices) ● Default project settings: Choose HQ - SI. ● Local project folder - Path where projects are saved, e.g., C:\sbt_jobs\ ● Local archive folder - (optional) A path where projects may be archived. ● Local firmware folder - Leave at default. ● Pack & Go folder - Path where Pack & Go files are saved.
Step 1 - Preparing A Project A6V11672234_en--_a f. Select Projects, then select the project you created in step b and click Open project. g. Select the Users tab under User profiles and Settings.
Step 1 - Preparing A Project h. Now select Balancer and create / enter the correct password for the Balancer role. Technician must supply all necessary passwords. 8 | 22 i. (Optional) For the project used for Apogee integration, follow this step. Tick the checkbox next to Show application number under Number ranges and Settings. On the Naming rules tab under Naming defaults and Settings, confirm the Object names selection = Abbreviated, standard names.
Step 2 - Setting Up Connection Step 2 - Setting Up Connection When the project opens, go to Startup page, click on the top right. The screen displays the following tabs: ● Room unit connection Note: Not used for DXR1.X type devices ● USB ● Ethernet 2.1 Click the tab for how you will physically connect. 2.2 If you have not done so already, make the physical connection with a provided cable. The steps below are not standard balancer procedure steps and should rarely be used.
Step 2 - Setting Up Connection a. Click More >> on the bottom left. – b. Tick the checkbox beside Encountering failures on simultaneous loads? to avoid download failures.
Step 3 - Discovering Automation Stations Step 3 - Discovering Automation Stations 3.1 Under Startup, click Configure and Download. Discovered devices tab displays. 3.2 Opens the Discovery dialog box. You can choose to discover devices in the Local network or the Remote network. Locally connected devices displays only connected devices based on the network specified. Default is All devices. Once the devices have been discovered you have several options available.
Step 4 - Global Commanding Step 4 - Global Commanding Note The purpose of global commanding is to setup the automation stations for balancing. After balancing is complete the commands must be released. Releasing commands is covered in Step 6 Release Existing Commands. 4.1 Click the Command tab. 4.2 Select Air Balancer Commanding List from the Command list dropdown and tick the checkboxes next to parameters to be previewed and eventually commanded.
Step 4 - Global Commanding 4.3 Click the Discovered devices tab. 4.4 Select the automation station(s) to be commanded. 4.5 Click Preview. (Columns can be re-ordered to customize the display. Click a column header and drag it to the desired location.) The selected parameter displays below the selected automation station(s) in the Discovered automation stations list. 4.6 View the current values of the previewed parameters. 4.7 Determine if additional commanding is needed.
Step 5 - Command Parameters and Balance Individual Automation Stations Step 5 - Command Parameters and Balance Individual Automation Stations Set up ABT Go app a. The first time the ABT Go app starts the Account view automatically. Else: Go to Account. > Account b. Enter Name Enter Mobile phone (i.e. +41771234567). Enter Email address. (i.e. abc@xyz.com) Enter Company. This information will be added in exported data (i.e. reports). c. Go to Settings. > Settings d. Set ABT Go app Language.
Step 5 - Command Parameters and Balance Individual Automation Stations 5.1 Open ABT Go, enter username and password, and click log in. 5.2 Click Favorites. 5.3 Click Favorite commissioning.
Step 5 - Command Parameters and Balance Individual Automation Stations 5.4 Select Favorite balancing. 5.5 (Optional) Verify or set airflow setpoints.
Step 5 - Command Parameters and Balance Individual Automation Stations 5.6 Verify/set duct area. a. Locate Supply air VAV duct shape. Set Supply air VAV duct shape by selecting from the following options and then set the related parameters: i. Round (Set Supply air VAV dimension A) ii. Flat oval (Set Supply air VAV dimension A and Supply air VAV dimension B) iii. Rectangular (Set Supply air VAV dimension A and Supply air VAV dimension B) iv.
Step 5 - Command Parameters and Balance Individual Automation Stations i. MxCool - Maximum Cooling ii. MxHeat - Maximum Heating iii. MxVent - Maximum Vent iv. MnCool - Minimum Cooling v. MnHeat - Minimum Heating vi. MnVent - Minimum Vent vii. Manual - (Set Supply air VAV smoke ctrl.air flow setp. to the desired airflow setpoint) b. Set Supply air VAV balancing command to Balancing.
Step 6 - Release Existing Commands (optional) Step 6 - Release Existing Commands (optional) 6.1 All remaining commands will display below the automation stations in the grid editor of the Discovered devices tab. 6.2 Select the automation stations and/or individual parameters. 6.3 Click Release. 6.4 Now repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 until all equipment is balanced.
Step 7 - Uploading Report Data Step 7 - Uploading Report Data 7.1 Click the Report tab. 7.2 Select Air Balancer from the Report list dropdown. The table will display a list of parameters to be uploaded. This table is read only. 7.3 Click the Discovered devices tab. 7.4 Select the automation station(s) to upload report data. 7.5 Click Upload report data. A report data file will be created for each selected automation station.
Step 8 - Creating Reports Step 8 - Creating Reports Note Because report data was uploaded and stored in the project, report creation does not require an online connection. Therefore reports can be created anytime or anywhere. 8.1 Open the project and click Global functions. 8.2 Click the Discovered devices tab. 8.3 Select the device from device list, then click Create uploaded data reports. 8.
