2. Features
(1) Wide return air temperature range

In cooling mode, the return air temperature range is from 17℃ to 43℃.

In heating mode, the return air temperature range is from -5℃ to 30℃.

(2) The sheet metal integration design.

(3) Electrical mounting plate can be flipped, easy to install and maintain.

(4) Built-in electronic expansion valve.

(5) Precise control

The system is controlled according to return air temperature, control logic is the same as VRF indoor unit:
by comparison return air temperature (T1) and the setting temperature (Ts) to shut down or start up the
unit and calculate the capacity requirements.

(6) With failure feedback function.

When AHU control box is working abnormally, it can display the malfunction and protection codes
through the display panel. At the same time, you can check the temperature parameters by the LED
display panel.

Address and network address setting

The DX AHU box needs to be set an address, this address is an actual address; when the capacity code ENC1
is selected to be B～F, this DX AHU box will produce virtual address(es) with corresponding quantity based on
the actual address, please refer to the following table.

If an address has been an actual address or virtual address, then this address can not be the actual address or
virtual address of other DX AHU box in the same system.

9. Controller
The DX AHU box can be controlled by MIDEA controller and SIEMENS controller. The status of SW3 on the
main board will decide which controller has been selected.

12 means to connect SIEMENS controller

Note, after changing the status of any dial switch on the main board, be sure to turn off the total power switch
and then switch on. The setting function can not be carried out if not to turn off the total power switch and then
switch on.

(1) MIDEA controller

When MIDEA controller has been selected, the DX AHU box can be controlled by wire controller or

remote controller.

Remote controller Wire controller

Note: When MIDEA controller has been selected, the DX AHU box main board will not response the signal
from SIEMENS controller.

(2) SIEMENS controller

When SIEMENS controller has been selected, only SIEMENS controller can be use to control the DX AHU box.
The signal from MIDEA controller will not be responsed except the address set and inquire signal.
Even if SIEMENS controller has been selected, a MIDEA remote controller or wire controller is need to set
address for DX AHU box, because SIEMENS controller do not has this function.

2. If several DX AHU boxes parallel connection control one indoor unit, SIEMENS controller only need to be
connected with master DX AHU box.
3. One SIEMENS can not control two or more indoor units at the same time.
4.All signals between SIEMENS controller and DX AHU box must be accord with the definition from the
