Abstract

New and advanced HVACR systems are becoming more complex, and the ability to remotely manage and monitor variables such as—temperature, humidity, pressure, and refrigerant leaks—is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. This session dives into practical strategies for controlling and monitoring multiple pieces of equipment at multiple locations, catching issues early, and streamlining maintenance, all while staying compliant with new A2L refrigerant safety requirements. This provides a more proactive approach to servicing, minimizing downtime.

We’ll share field-tested approaches for:
  • Utilizing a modular electronic control to meet hundreds of HVAC-R applications
  • Integrating the cloud-based dashboards to continuously monitor HVAC-R system health.
  • Setting up system alerts via text or email to cut site visits and facilitate troubleshooting
