Aircon Manager
This PC-based system offers both centralised control and
a function for the proportional distribution of gas/electricity bills.
In recent years, air-conditioning systems have
become increasingly large. Yanmar Energy
System’s Aircon Manager1 can be used to
control complex, sophisticated airconditioning systems from a personal
computer. It also incorporates a
function for the proportional
distribution of gas/electricity
bills,2 an essential feature for
commercial buildings.
1. Please consult our representative before making any
decision on the adoption of this system.
2. Please ensure the calculation method is suitable for your
installation.

Instant confirmation of zone/group
operating conditions
The status of each group is
indicated using red for operation,
green for stoppage and yellow for
malfunction. Each group’s set
temperatures, operation modes,
current room temperatures and
malfunction error codes are all
displayed in lists. These lists enable
instant visual confirmation of the operating and setting status of
air conditioners. Start/stop operation of units can also be
executed directly from this screen.
Control of daily start/stop on yearly
schedule and achievement of energy
savings
Individual operation patterns in
which the system starts/stops up to
8 times a day can be set for week
days, holidays and 2 special
schedules. It is also possible to
operate a yearly schedule by
registering these patterns to the
calendar. Operation can be controlled for individual zones and
all groups as well as individual groups.
Setting of air direction, fan speed, remote
controller permission/prohibition, as well
as basic start/stop control
More efficient facility management thanks
to display/print out of gas/electricity
consumption for individual zones
In addition to daily start/stop
control, operation modes (cooling,
heating, fan only), set temperatures,
air directions, fan speeds and
resetting of filter indicators can all
be managed using simple mouse
operations. It is also possible to
permit/prohibit basic functions
(start/stop, operation modes, set temperatures) from remote
controllers.
The proportional distribution of
gas/electricity consumption during a
specific period can be displayed
and printed out for individual zones
and groups as well as all groups.
The following 3 methods are
available for calculating the
proportional distribution.
• Air-conditioning period (standard): Total gas/electricity consumption is proportionally
distributed according to the period for which the thermostat of each indoor unit is on.
• Price rate: Period for which the thermostat of each unit is on is multiplied by a set price rate.
• Air-conditioning load: Total gas/electricity consumption is proportionally distributed
according to the refrigerant flow of each indoor unit.

Output
The proportional distribution function is not available for
floor-standing duct type indoor units YZFVP280-560M
and YZFVP1120M/1400M/1600M. It is also not available
for floor-standing duct type units during the outdoor-air
processing mode or the spot energy-saving mode.
Aircon Manager interface
Maximum of
64 groups
Gas and electricity meters
(Obtain locally)
Up to 12 units can be connected
using an optional interface.
Incorporating an optional expansion printed circuit board allows an additional 256 indoor unit groups
to be connected to an Aircon Manager 2 line system.
Input of forced stoppage
Standard 4 contact input available
(No-voltage contact input)
* When the function for proportional distribution of
gas/electricity bills is available, up to 256 groups
and indoor units can be connected using an
optional expansion printed circuit board.
Yanmar centralised control equipment can be used together
with the Aircon Manager system.
a single Aircon Manager system is not sufficient to manage a facility (more than 256 groups required),
Expansion of System Ifcontact
Yanmar Energy System regarding systems with up to 4 Aircon Manager interface units. Such systems
for Large Facilities
enable the connection of a total of 1,024 groups, which can still be managed from a single personal computer.
Options
Expansion printed circuit board
A printed circuit board that can be used to expand the
number of lines connectable to Aircon Manager interface
from the standard 2 lines to 4 lines. This enables the
creation of a large network with Aircon Manager
interface’s 4 lines connected to 64 groups.
