POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – October 6, 2008 – Dometic’s Cruisair Q-Logic control system is now network capable to provide shipwide monitoring of both direct expansion (DX) and tempered water (TW) systems.
The optional CAN-bus network adapter is available for new systems and as a retrofit for existing installations. The adapter adheres to CAN-bus Standard 2.0B and is fully ISO compliant. It supports the popular cabin touchscreen control systems such as E-Plex® from ED&D, AMX® and others.
The Q-logic system includes two choices of cabin controls. The Q3 is a basic LED digital display/control panel, while the Qht is a high-technology Euro-style panel with a bright high-resolution LCD screen and optional decorative bezels. Both display options work with the standard Q-Logic circuit board located in the air conditioning unit’s electrical box.
The Q3 and Qht control panels are designed for easy, intuitive adjustment of temperature set points and air flow in the cooling and heating modes. The user can also put the system into an automatic dehumidification mode at the touch of a single key. Both control panels operate the auxiliary heat mode, which comes standard on Cruisair TW systems and optional on DX systems. The Q-Logic system also offers 29 user-programmable functions to fine tune the system’s operation and performance to meet individual preferences and the boat’s unique requirements.
The Q-Logic controls have extensive built-in alarms and safeguards to protect the air conditioning system, with automatic shutdown in the event of any potentially damaging condition such as high or low refrigerant pressures or input voltages.
