THE MOST STABLE CLIMATE THINKABLE. GUARANTEED. * measured at 27 degrees Celcius / 60% humidity * measured at 27 degrees Celcius / 60% humidity Please read this manual carefully before attempting to install the Opticlimate Revomax II. The RevomaxII is a high performance climate control system, we strongly advice to seek the services of an installation professional. These products may represent a possible shock or fire hazard if improperly installed or attached in any way. Products should be installed in accordance with the owners manual and local electrical guidelines and law. When operating with a seperate humidifier, make sure that it is connected to a reverse osmosis filter or scale filer. Fan faults caused by lime deposits are not covered under our warranty. The OptiClimate RevomaxII is a state-of-the-art climate control system designed to provide an optimal growing environment for a wide variety of plant species. Leveraging advanced Infinity DC inverter technology, this system offers unmatched flexibility in climate control, allowing for precise adjustments up to one tenth Hertz increments in cooling, heating, dehumidification, and air filtration. Its capacity to maintain super stable humidity, room temperature and output temperature ensures the health and productivity of your plants under any indoor condition. The RevomaxII is available in 6000 to 30000 Watt versions. The model you need with sufficient cooling capacity can be calculated by adding up the power outputs for all heat generating devices like fixtures. In most common situations, it's a 1-1 relationship. Example: 12 x 800 Watt HPS fixtures generate 9600 Watts of heat, whichs means you need a 10000 RevomaxII model to cool the growing area. LED is much more efficient per watt, so you need less watts and thus fxtures. This means a LED based installation generates less heat than an HPS one. The other factor is de-humidification capacity. To calculate the needed capacity for de-humidification, your can use a rough guideline of 650 watts per m² of green to get 50% of relative humidity (RH) in the night cycle (depending on your crop). Always check your personal needs before purchasing your RevomaxII. Image of the OptiClimate RevomaxII unit. All RevomaxII models are able to cool to a maximum of 0.2 degrees celcius deviation of the setpoint temperature. With the RevomaxII you are able to control humidity with a maximum 'swing' of 4% (depending on the humidity load) of the set humidity level. In case you use LED fixtures, you might even need to heat the room instead of cooling it. The RevomaxII is unique and can heat a room while de-humidifying. Image of a Dimlux Xtremell LED Fixture. Normal Revomax units can cool a space to about 16 degrees Celsius, which is more than sufficient for all plants and vegetables, as they thrive in warmer conditions. But if you're looking to turn the space into a cold storage solution--keeping your harvest fresh, just like in a fridge--then we've developed the Revomax Deep Cooling system, designed specifically for your post-harvest needs. Depending on the insulation and capacity the unit can cool close to 0 degrees Celcius. Image of a Dimlux Expert HPS Fixture. With the sep-fan model (separate-fan) you are able to place the active fan in another location, combined with air hoses or air duct systems. Image of a Separate Fan. The RevomaxII Free Air is made to blow air freely instead of using a ducting system or hoses. The Free Air is designed in such a way that it takes up as little volume as possible and thus takes up as little space as possible and at the same time intercepts as little light as possible. Image of a Separate Fan on RevomaxII. Image of RevomaxII Free-Air. All RevomaxII units are supplied with a model specific connectorset (chapter 3.2) containing the following items: Image of REVOMAX II UNIT. Image of MOUNTING BRACKETS. Image of RUBBER DAMPING RINGS.

The temperature is shown on the Smart Remote Controller in degrees Celcius and its values are used to control the settings on the RevomaxII unit. Image of RevomaxII Flange. Image of Humidity & Light Sensor. Image of Temperature Sensor. The RevomaxII system is designed to be very flexible in setup and combinations while maintaining its trademark performance. This manual describes an overview of installation options. But we have near endless combinations and can scale up easily. Possibilities are endless and all situations are different. For this reason we have created a collection of starter-kits for your convenience. All water-related piping and piping connectors are not part of our offer as we recommend different materials and diameters for different situations. Check our knowledgebase for a complete overview of everything you need. Diagram showing unit dimensions (W: width, D: depth, H: height, Ø1: inlet diameter, Ø2: outlet diameter, F: clearance, G: clearance, H: clearance, I: clearance). The Revomax II is a high performance climate control system that needs 15 cm of open space for airflow to function properly. Please ensure to leave at least 15 cm of space on all sides (except at the bottom of the unit). Mount the unit in any of the available options as described in chapter 3.7 to 3.11. Make sure the frame or structure is strong enough to carry the weight of your unit. For reference, check the table above. For specific instructions check chapter 3.7.

All materials are industry standard and readily available at any hardware store. Image showing pass-through threaded rods holes. Image showing pass-through threaded rods holes. For maximum flexibility and ease of install, use a 3rd party wall mount heavy duty air conditioning frame to mount the Revomax II on the wall. The Needed equipment: Image of an example wallmount. The Revomax II system can also just be placed on any stable surface. Floors or heavy duty shelves. No extra equipment needed except for lifting the unit on the target surface. Image of RevomaxII on surface. When using a water cooler in a closed loop system as further explained in chapter 5, it is very important the water cooler is placed properly. A watercooler needs room to suck air into its fans and dispatch the air on the other side. To provide the watercooler with sufficient free air to use for cooling, the watercooler needs to be placed outdoors and with sufficient room to operate. We recommend, when possible, to place the watercooler outside of direct sunlight for best performance. Also, in snowy and sandy areas it's extremely important to keep the in- and outlet free of obstacles during operation. Build a roof or shelter to protect the watercoolers in- and outlet and/or direct sunlight. Opticlimate has several types of watercoolers in its range. There are compact models, industrial grade models and two types of alignment: horizontal and vertical. Make sure to use the type of alignment correctly. To ensure proper heat dissipation, the water cooler requires a minimum of 3 meters of unobstructed space in front of the unit. This clearance allows for adequate airflow, which can extend up to 50 meters. It is essential to ensure that the heated air can freely exit the area without obstruction. In situations where there is insufficient horizontal space for effective airflow dissipation, we offer vertical discharge models. These units redirect airflow upward rather than sideways, eliminating the requirement for horizontal clearance. Diagram showing water cooler placement clearances: ABOVE - 40 CM, BACK - 40 CM, SIDE - 60 CM, SIDE - 30 CM, FRONT - 300CM. Image: Ceiling mounted RevomaxII unit.

Image: Surface mounted RevomaxII unit with plenumbox (needs hoses). Image: Surface mounted RevomaxII unit outside the growing area with plenumbox (check chapter 6.6 for connecting air hoses). The RevomaxII needs a clean, continuous and cool water supply to operate properly. This can be achieved in two distinct operation methods: tap water or a closed loop with an OptiClimate watercooler. Both are viable options, depending on your growing needs and surrounding situations like the availability of clean water and climate. In this chapter we will explore the first option. The closed loop is described in chapter 5 with a focus on a single RevomaxII and a single water cooler. Other configurations are possible as shown in chapter 4.4. Check the specifications of your model in chapter 1 to determine the cool water supply in m³ per hour. In the case that your basic water supply is below 25 degrees celcius all year round without exception, you can operate without a separate water cooler. Note that when you want to create a closed loop, the RevomaxII heats the water when in cooling mode. Make sure to have sufficient cooling power for your situation. When the inlet water temperature rises above 25 degrees Celcius, the Revomax cannot cool to specification and more cooling power is needed. Diagram of Revomax Backside showing water connections: 1. Water Outlet, 2. Water Inlet, 3. Condensation Outlet. Piping is not included in the RevomaxII package as every situation is different. The system can be connected with industry-standard PE Tyleen or other type of water piping. We recommend using at least 32mm PE (Poly-Ethylene) piping with 'quick-connectors' for easy and flexible installation. A great alternative is to use PVC-C. We recommend using a certified plumber for the installation of the loop. To determine the correct diameter for your setup, two key factors must be considered: length and complexity. We always recommend keeping the loop as short and straightforward as possible, since every bend and every additional meter reduces water flow. There is no universal rule, as every installation differs. When in doubt, contact your dealer or local plumber for advice. As a general guideline, use 32 mm piping for shorter loops with few bends, and 40+ mm piping when length and complexity increase. Diagram illustrating pipe sizes: 32 MM - SHORT/SIMPLE. Diagram illustrating pipe sizes: 40+ MM - LONG/COMPLEX. To connect all piping and sensors to your system, you also need a list of water connections and accessories that fit your piping of choice. We have a comprehensive list of needed items on our knowledgebase at https://opticlimate.com/knowledge-base/in the checklist section. Beside the basic options, take a brief look at what we can do with the RevomaxII. All variations are perfectly viable and scalable and need a professional design and preparation from your dealer or find us at airluxtechnologies.com. The high-performing RevomaxII system needs to be installed with all hardware and guidelines (chapter 2.1) in mind to ensure long-term reliable operation. Install two or more RevomaxII units in multiple growing areas or rooms, combined with one big watercooler unit. Install multiple RevomaxII units in multiple growing areas combined with multiple watercoolers. Install the RevomaxII unit outside the growing area with our Plenumbox and airhose system. Diagrams showing multiple views of a Plenumbox based multi-room setup, indicating components: 1. RevomaxII unit, 2. PlenumBox, 3. Airhose system, 4. Growing Area. With the flexibility of the RevomaxII system you can easily scale to whatever situation you might have. There is no growing area too complex or difficult for us! Challenge us for your next project. Contact your dealer or find us at airluxtechnologies.com to guide you through the next level of indoor farming. Image of a RevomaxII sep-fan and custom aluminium airhoses. The fan is installed integrated in the airhoses. The most basic option is to use an open tap, continuous and steady water supply that is under 25 degrees Celsius year round. The source can be a public watersupply or a fresh watersource like a lake or river. Use our magnetic solenoid valve and water leak sensor for safety. When a leak is detected the system will shut down to prevent damage. Place the valve directly after the water source in a fixed, easy to access location. The magnetic coil of the valve must be placed upwards or alternatively to the side. Never downwards. It's highly recommended to use a strainer to filter the water and insulate the water supply piping to prevent condensation build-up and optimize efficiency. Connect the system in following sequence to operate correctly: Schematic overview of an open-tap installation showing numbered components. The most common option is a closed loop water system. When cool fresh water is not available, economically viable or when the water temperature is above 25 degrees Celcius regularly, watercooler is mandatory for stable operation to specification. The needed capacity of the water cooler depends on variables like climate, season, sunshine, humidity, ambient temperatures and other hardware in operation that generates heat. Therefore, the needed cooler's capacity needs to be assessed per case. In most moderate operating situations the rule of thumb is for the water cooler to have the same level or slightly exceeded power output versus the Revomax II unit. For example: a Revomax II 30000 (30kw) needs a watercooler that at least has the same 30 kw capacity. All our water coolers are designed with a small amount of headroom so the 32 kw industrial grade water cooler is usually a good fit. It's possible to connect multiple Revomax unit's to a single cooler as long as the cooling capacity is met. For more information or specific watercooling questions needs contact your dealer or find us at airluxtechnologies.com. Image of an OptiClimate Watercooler. After determining the correct piping diameter (chapter 4.2) and acquiring all 3rd party piping and connectors, we can start building our closed loop system. For reference to all piping diameters check our knowledgebase at https://opticlimate.com/knowledge-base/in the checklist section. For video instructions on all steps, refer to our airluxtechnologies YouTube channel. Install the pump, water cooler and RevomaxII in an upright position and make sure the RevomaxII has a very slight angle (1%) to the back so condensation water can run off. Instructions on placement are in chapter 3. Install connectors from the RevomaxII in- and output to your specified piping diameter. Also install the air-bleeder on the highest point of the installation. Make sure you use teflon in all metal connections and properly glue all PVC-C piping when used. Optional but highly recommended is to install drainage taps at in- and outlet to be able to shut down water supply to the RevomaxII when needed. Image of a Drainage tap. Image of an Air Bleeder. Image of a Tapsaddle. Continue to connect the RevomaxII input to the water cooler output and make sure you install a temperature sensor in this part of the loop. Use a t-connector or tap saddle to install the temperature sensor between the watercooler (out) and RevomaxII (in). Note the water flow direction (orange arrows). Make sure the loop is empty before installing the temperature sensor. We designate the water temperature as OUT because it is installed after the watercooler. Always install sideways to prevent measuring air. Diagram showing Step 3 install sequence with Watercooler, Temperature-OUT sensor, and RevomaxII. Image of a Tapsaddle side-view. Now connect the air separator to the pump and start to connect the water pump output to the water cooler input. In between we'll install a manometer and the pressure (mandatory for advanced control systems) sensor the same way as the temperature sensor in the previous step. Optionally install a manual valve to shut down water flow when needed. Diagram showing Step 4 install sequence with Air Separator, Waterpump, Pressure Sensor, Manometer, and Watercooler. The loop is nearly complete. From the water pump in where the Air Separator is connected, lead the loop to the RevomaxII output. Optionally install a manual valve to shut down water flow when needed. Here we need two ports: a manometer, a pressure sensor and an extra temperature sensor in case you want to build an advanced control setup (chapter 6.7). Diagram showing Step 5 install sequence with Revomaxll, Pressure Sensor, Temperature, Manometer, Air Separator, and Waterpump. First make sure to install a filling tap so your loop can be filled later on. The location of the filling tap has no impact of the operation, install it in a convenient location, preferable at a low point to be able to drain the loop. Optionally for more stable operation you can install an expansion vessel and pressure relief valve. When temperature rises, water expands. The vessel compensates for this effect. The vessel must be installed outside the loop. Diagram showing Step 6 install sequence with RevomaxII, Pressure Valve (optional), Expansion Vessel (optional), and Filling Tap. The complete loop now should look like the schematic below, you'll find all the elements in their logical locations. Make sure to install all hardware, sensors, and other components in these exact positions unless stated otherwise. The following items are optional but recommended: The following items are mandatory when installing a closed loop with advanced control: Diagram of the complete closed loop connection. Remove the front panel to connect the supplied Smart Remote Controller and sensors. Lead the sensors to the growth area and place on crop level, outside the range of a direct lighting source. The connection board is accessible behind the front panel. Image of the RevomaxII connection board with numbered ports. When used in a closed loop setup with a cooler the system can be tested with dipswitch nr 3. When dipswitch 3 is turned on, the pump starts pumping and the valve opens without having the system fully booted up. Use this mode to discharge water, test for leaks or to vent the system from air. For more information check chapter 5.3. Note: the system needs to be fully installed and connected for the test to work. Use dipswitch 3 for testing and discharge purposes only. When the system is in normal operation make sure to turn off dipswitch 3. Applies to: Open Tap, Basic controlled closed Loop, Inverter controlled closed Loop All Revomax II units must be connected to a 3-phase 400 volt power supply. Alternatively, the 6000, 10000 and 15000S model can also be powered by a standard 1-phase 230v domestic power supply. Allways use at least the specified cable diameter for connecting the power supply to the RevomaxII. In the specification overview in chapter one you can find the specificiation for your model. Ask assistance from a certified electronic engineer when connecting a 400v 3-phase system. NOTE: always use a dedicated MCB and RCD type B for the Revomax II. Do not combine with other devices on the same circuit. Applies to: Open Tap, Basic controlled closed Loop, Inverter controlled closed Loop Find the pass-trough on the bottom right of the front panel. Lead the open-end power cable through and lead it to the power connection board that is behind the front panel. Connect the power cable to the connection board using the schematic below. Do not forget to connect the PE ground connector. Diagram of the Power Connection Board for 400v models. Connect the cable in following schematic. Make sure to use the grounding PE cable for safety. Local rules and code apply. Diagram of the Power Connection Board for 230v models (6000, 10000, 15000S only). Image of a 400v open-end power cable. Applies to: Open Tap, Basic controlled closed Loop, Inverter controlled closed Loop For open tap installations, this is the final step for the control hardware. After this chapter, skip to chapter 8. Use the supplied controller cable (USB to UTP) to connect the Smart Remote Controller (USB connector) on port 1 (UTP connector) on the control board in the Revomax unit (chapter 4.1). After powering up the Smart Remote Controller (use the supplied power adapter) and RevomaxII, the unit will first initialize, this can take a few minutes. All valves and sensors are automatically tested during startup. The remote controller cannot be operated during this initializing phase. You will see several screens pop-up and close again, this is normal. Check the RevomaxII user manual for daily operation and configuration of the Smart Remote Controller. Image of a Controller cable. Image showing connection to Power Supply. Applies to: Basic Closed Loop The water based elements of the basic closed loop system are now installed and need to be connected to its central control hardware. For the advanced control setup, skip to chapter 6.7. The basic setup is controlled by a SmartBox 6/3 and controls the water pump and water cooler via a power outlet. You already selected and connected power, and the Smart Remote Controller. For reference we'll recap these steps and add some final steps. Check the required cable diameter in the specifications and install the power cable, MCD and RCD-B as described in chapter 6.2. Ask a certified electrician to install these elements. Use the pass-through to install the open-end power cable to the connection board as described in chapter 6.3. Ask a certified electrician to install these elements. Image of P1 port on Smartbox 6/3. Connect the temperature sensor, the one installed in front of the RevomaxII to the P1 port on the SmartBox 6/3. The port is located in the bottom-left of the Smartbox 6/3. Also connect the humidity/light sensor to the RevomaxII on position 2 as described in chapter 6.1. Route the humidity/light sensor to the growing area and hang halfway between the plant canopy and the fixtures for optimal readings. Image of Humidity/Light Sensor. Last part of this step is the compressor start stop sensor. Connect it to position 4 of the connection board (chapter 6.1). Now lead the communication cable to the Smartbox 6/3 and connect it to the in/out port. Image of a Start-stop sensor. Connect the Smart Remote Controller with the supplied UTP-USB cable as described in chapter 6.4. The last step is to connect the water cooler to the smart 230v power connector port OUT-1 and the water pump to the smart 230v port OUT-3. It is important you use these specific ports as they are pre-configured. The complete control schematic now must look like this. Diagram of the complete control schematic. Diagram of the Basic control setup. Before we can start using the system we first need to check some basic settings. In 6 steps we'll guide you through all steps to get your RevomaxII operational. A few settings need to be checked. First make sure the system is in water cooler mode. Navigate to MENU > SETTINGS > OPTICLIMATE SETTINGS > S.06 and make sure it is set to ON. The second setting is the internal pressure, which is in the same menu under S.64. Make sure it is set to 23 bar. First use chapter 7 to fill the loop. Now we need to force the RevomaxII into cooling mode. Use heaters and/or fixtures to heat the room to around 25 degrees Celcius and is stable. Now set the RevomaxII to 16 degrees Celcius to force it into cooling mode. The pump and fan should be activated automatically. The water pressure must be at least 0.5 bar during operation. Add mode water/glycol if the threshold is not met. Now check the internal valve which must be open. Navigate to: MENU > SETTINGS > OUTPUTS > Q.05 (water valve). The bar must be filled out to 1600 steps. On the SmartBox 6/3, check the reference temperature which must be set to 32 degrees Celcius. Click UP, ENTER, ENTER and use the UP/DOWN keys to change the temperature if needed. Now, on the Smart Remote Controller navigate to: MENU > SETTINGS > ALL SENSORS Set target temperatures I:11 to 32 degrees Celcius and I:08 to 37 degrees Celcius. This means the delta (difference) is 5 degrees, which is optimal. Control the delta temperature by changing the water flow. Adjust in small increments and wait for the system to respond. This can take a few minutes. After all temperatures are stable for a few hours, adjust the room temperature to the desired temperature. Diagram showing Water valve control. Diagram showing Water temperature control. Diagram of Manual valve install sequence. To make sure the system responds correctly to operating settings like the timer, we need to set the time and date. On the Smart Remote Controller, navigate to: MENU > SETTINGS > USER PREFERENCES . SET TIME/DATE. Also set the target temperature and humidity for both day and night. From the main menu click on the respective value and use the + and - icons to adjust. Click the sun and moon icons to switch settings for day and night. The user manual goes further in depth and addresses more options and features. Image of the Time and date menu. Image showing Set target values. For systems above 15 kWatts of cooling power, you can install inverters for more precise control over the temperature and a more stable climate overall in your growing area. The advanced setup automates the water flow control and seamlessly and continuously adjusts the pump and the watercooler fan. When using the advanced setup with inverters, contact your dealer or our professionals at Airlux Technologies for additional support and system design. The advanced control method differ in a few key areas. Follow these steps. Check the required cable diameter in the specifications and install the power cable, MCD and RCD-B as described in chapter 6.2. Ask a certified electrician to install these elements. Use the pass-through to install the open-end power cable to the connection board as described in chapter 6.3. Ask a certified electrician to install these elements. In the advanced control setup make sure to have installed the second temperature sensor as instructed in chapter 5.2. Connect the first sensor, the one installed in front of the RevomaxII to the P1 port on the SmartBox 8/0. The port is located in the bottom-left of the Smartbox 8/0. The second temperature sensor goes to P2. Diagram showing Temperature sensors install sequence. Also connect the humidity/light sensor to the RevomaxII on position 2 as described in chapter 6.1. Route the humidity/light sensor to the growing area and hang halfway between the plant canopy and the fixtures for optimal readings. Last part of this step is the compressor start stop sensor. Connect it to position 4 of the connection board (chapter 6.1). Now lead the communication cable to the Smartbox 8/0 and connect it to the in/out port. In the advanced setup we also install two pressure sensors on the positions as described in chapter 5.2. Connect the first one (pressure low - in front of the water pump) on P5 and the second one (pressure high) after the water pump) to P6. The pressure sensors can sense a drop in pressure and can automatically shut down the system to prevent damage. Image of Operating mode menu. Image of an Inverter. Image of a SmartBox 8/0. Image of a Tapsaddle. Image of a Tapsaddle sideview. Image of a Pressure Sensor. Diagram showing Pressuresensors install sequence. Connect the Smart Remote Controller with the supplied UTP-USB cable as described in chapter 6.4. The system contains two inverters: a 400V 3-phase version for the water pump (inverter 1) and a 230V 1-phase version for the water cooler (inverter 2). Both must be connected using the supplied BLUE interlink cable that is labeled on both sides. The cable end labeled VFD must be connected to the inverter, the cable end labeled Smartport must be connected to the SmartBox. Connect the 230V water cooler inverter to P3 on the Smartbox and the 400V water pump inverter to P4 on the Smartbox. Image of a Custom labeled interlink cable. The inverter must be connected to the pump with a custom power cable setup. Pumps must be connected with a 3-phase inverter. Make sure to order a 3-phase pump in this situation. Connect the power cable in the correct manner, as stated below. Diagram showing Power schematic inverter to pump. The inverters must be connected to the watercooler(fan) with a custom power cable setup. Cooler fan must be connected to a single-phase inverter. Make sure to connect the power cable in the correct manner, as stated below. Diagram showing Power schematic inverter to watercooler fan. The first use sequence of the inverter controlled setup is the same as the sequence for the basic controlled option (chapter 6.4). Follow the same steps with the exception that the delta temperature is automated. Just skip that step. Diagram of the Advanced control schematic. The RevomaxII closed loop systems are compatible with a water-glycol mix. When the system is used in areas that have below zero degrees Celcius temperatures regularly (Winter-time), a Water-Glycol Mix is mandatory to prevent the system from freezing up and corrosion. For each potential degree Celcius below zero, you need 1% of glycol in your mix. For example, in the Netherlands temperatures rarely, if ever, reach below -15 degrees Celcius. So a safe mix and a bit of headroom a 20% mix is advised. Add the correct amount of glycol to the system first, then water until static pressure is 1.5 bar (The installed manometer, not the manometer on the RevomaxII unit). In the case the system is already filled with water, drain double the amount of calculated glycol of water first, then add the glycol and re-fill the water until pressurized at 1.5 bar again. NOTE: on the market you can obtain pure glycol or pre-mixed water-glycol. Make sure to use the correct type. Airlux Technologies strongly recommend PROPYLENE glycol, not ETHYLENE. Image of Propylene Glycol. Note: when the temperature at the cooler location is below zero Celcius, do not fill the system. This can lead to permanent damage to the cooler. Image of a Manometer - Check Pressure in Bar. Image of a Submersible Pump. For efficiency purposes you are able to install multiple RevomaxII units on a single cooler in a single closed loop. As long as the water cooler has sufficient cooling capacity to cool the combined heated water generated by the RevomaxII units. All install instructions from chapter 6.2 or 6.3 still apply. Only add extra piping and the second and/or third RevomaxII Unit. The setup must be built with identical models to work properly. Diagram illustrating a setup with Waterpump, Watercooler, Tichelmann Principle, and multiple RevomaxII units. When the RevomaxII unit is placed outside of the growing area, you need a PlenumBox to connect the unit to an air hose system. It is important that the incoming air flow is at least twice the diameter of the output of the air distribution. This is important to ensure proper air pressure inside the unit. For example: when the output diameter is 250 mm, the plenumbox needs a minimum of two 250mm air intake hoses for proper cooling power. Note, when calculating air intake capacity, the actual double air intake cannot be calculated by diameter only. Always calculate the total surface of the hoses to actually find the correct diameters. Diagram of a Plenum Box. Both the installation with and without water cooler require a basic installation package that is needed for installing the respective option. Without this package the system cannot be installed to a normal operating situation. All RevomaxII units come with the Smart Remote Controller. For basic operation on a continuous tap water installation acquire all needed piping as recommended in chapter 4.2. The tap-water leak prevention kit is optional. Image of Smart Remote Controller (included). Image of Solenoid (Magnetic) Valve. For a closed loop with basic control installation acquire all needed piping as recommended in chapter 4.2. One of the connection kits is mandatory to create a working setup. For a closed loop with advanced control installation acquire all needed piping as recommended in chapter 4.2. One of the connection kits is mandatory to create a working setup. Hoses are available in different materials, lengths and diameter sizes. There are two material variants: Ask your dealer for available options, lengths and diameters or find us at airluxtechnologies.com. Image of an OptiClimate watercooler. Image of a Plenum Box. Image of an Example with Plenum Box. The RevomaxII has endless possibilities and configurations. In the matrix below you can find what accessories are compatible with what setup. Make sure to order one of the available connection kits as described in chapter 9. For specific needs ask your dealer or find us at airluxtechnologies.com. When expanding your system outside of the common one RevomaxII on one water cooler you need extra accessories to get everything connected. For example, for every extra RevomxII to one water cooler, you need an extra start sensor and a communication cable. Another example: 3 RevomaxII systems to 2 water coolers need (on top of the connection kits) 2 repeaterboxes to expand control ports, 2 black interlink cables to connect the repeaterboxes to the Smartbox, an extra set of inverters and their respective blue interlink cables. Contact your dealer or find us at airluxtechnologies.com when installing a system that is connected with more than one RevomaxII and/or water cooler. Most common errors are easily resolved.
