ETI Netcom ASM-1 Automated Air Distribution Manifold, 100-240 VAC

The ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold distributes low pressure dry air from one or more sources to one or more transmission lines. Output pressure is configurable between 0.10 psig and 7.50 psig (7mbar - 517mbar) in 0.01 psig (0.67mbar) increments. Factory default pressure is 0.5 psig (34.5mbar). Operational monitoring and alarms are software based making them highly configurable in the field. Future software features can be installed while in service over the internet or local Ethernet network.

The ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold is Ethernet network ready. Units can be configured and monitored using either built in SNMP support or the web interface. Legacy system support is provided via RS-422/485 or RS-232 interfaces. Three programmable alarm relays are also included. Communicated operational information includes pressure, status and leak down rate for the system and each port, and system duty cycle.

Seven of the ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold's eight ports can be configured as input, output or unused. The eighth port is configured as a system pressure relief valve allowing the manifold to bleed off excess sytem pressure common with solar gain or to vent the system during certain system tests.

Multiple ADH NETCOM automatic air dehydrators can be controlled by an ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold for parallel or redundant pumping operation. Parallel pumping of two or more ADH NETCOM dehydrators provides increased volumes of dry low pressure air by running the ADH NETCOM dehydrators together as one. Redundant pumping of two or more ADH NETCOM dehydrators provides increased system reliability by keeping one or more dehydrators on standby should the primary dehydrator fail. To enhance system reliability in this mode each dehydrator will alternate as primary.

The ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold requires only 5-1/4" (3-U) of rack space and is just 12" (304.8mm) deep. Mounting hardware allows for flexible installation options including dual- and single-post rack mounting and wall mounting. The standard unit weighs just 11 lbs (5 kg).

The ASM–1 Smart Manifold automated air manifold operates from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Optional units are available at ±20-75 VDC.
