(1) OVERVIEW  
(1) The NHTC Nortec LINKS 2 Option allows for the integration of a NHTC Series  
humidifier within a BACnet, Johnson N2 or LonWorks network and allows those units  
to concurrently be monitored via the Nortec OnLine interface. This option features a  
Nortec OnLine module co-existing with a gateway that has the capability of  
converting information from the host Modbus protocol to a specified secondary  
protocol.  
(2) The following protocol options are available and must be specified when ordering:

(1) NETWORKING  
(1) It is possible to network up to a maximum of 8 units to a single LINKS 2. Since each  
unit is separately addressed, it is possible to monitor and control each unit  
individually. Different networking configurations may be achieved and are mostly  
dependant on the type of network present at the site. One networking example could  
have a Gateway installed inside the lead unit, which could then be daisy-chained to  
successive units. In turn, the lead unit would connect to a Building Management  
System (BMS) network via a shielded, twisted-pair connection. Please see wiring  
section for additional detail. A second example could have a series of units directly  
connected to an Ethernet network. This is only possible for BACnet communication  
and is essentially referred to as a BACnet/IP configuration.

(2) WIRING  
(A) BACNET/MSTP, JOHNSON N2, AND LONWORKS  
(1) The necessary internal wiring for the Gateway is already present except for the BMS  
network connection that can be made via twisted-pair at terminals A and B. To  
network multiple units to a single Gateway, the units may be daisy-chained to each  
other using the network link terminals at the TB3 connection jack on the humidifier  
logic board. Refer to wiring diagram in section 10-50.  
(1) Table #1 refers to the recommended wire types and maximum recommended  
lengths from the Nortec LINK 2 module to the front-end of the Building Management  
system. Since communication between the humidifiers and Nortec Links will always  
occur via a EIA-485 signal type, Nortec recommends using a 18-24 AWG shielded,  
twisted pair wire between the lead humidifier and each of the slave humidifiers.  
Cable runs between the Nortec LINKS 2 module and the furthest slave humidifier  
should not exceed 2,000 feet. Signal boosters or repeaters may be necessary for  
longer wire runs or where electrical noise interference is prevalent.

(3) GATEWAY CONFIGURATION  
(1) Protocol configuration is made at the factory, prior to final testing. Baud rates are  
also adjusted to the following values:  
Table 2. Baud Rates  
Protocol  
BACnet MS/TP  
BACnet / IP  
Johnson N2  
Default Baud Rates  
38.4 kbps  
10BaseT  
9.6 kbps  
(2) For BACnet/IP, BACnet/MSTP and Johnson N2 applications, it is necessary to  
establish the modules network address parameters in order access it. Address  
assignments can be configured at the factory or Nortec can provide instructions to  
modify the address settings in the field.  
(4) NETWORK INTEGRATION  
(A) LONWORKS.XIF FILE  
(1) To facilitate the integration of a LonWorks unit within a network, it may be desirable  
to obtain an External Interface File (XIF). Files of type .xif are used to convey the  
resources, specific objects and data types which a LonWorks device possesses. The  
.xif file allows a network integrator to simulate the presence of a networked humidifier  
even if it is not yet physically connected to the network. In fact, if the integrator has  
the .xif files of all network devices, a complete system could be simulated and  
configured off-line. Once the configuration is done, the integrator's software tool can  
be connected to the actual system and the configuration information can be  
downloaded. If a .xif file is required prior to installing a LonWorks-enabled humidifier,  
please contact the factory to obtain it.  
(B) BACNET PICS AND BIBS  
(1) The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement or “PICS” describes the  
BACnet capabilities of a particular BACnet implementation. It is a written document,  
created by the manufacturer of a device, which identifies the particular options  
specified by BACnet that are implemented in the device.  
(2) BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks (BIBBs) describe a list of services a BACnet  
device provides. The main areas that the building blocks are concerned with include:  
data sharing, trends, schedules, device and system management. BIBBs help  
specify the interoperability capabilities of a BACnet device. Please contact the  
factory to obtain a PICS statement or BIBBs profile.

(5) VARIABLE DEFINITION  
IMPORTANT:  
In the variable name, “_xdenotes the humidifier number. If there is only one  
GSTC humidifier, all variable names will end in “_1”. If two units are networked  
together (see Figure 4), the second unit’s variable names will end in “_2”. For 3  
networked units, “_3” and so on. If unsure of the unit number, each unit will have a  
label indicating the device instance of each humidifier. If unsure of the unit number,  
each unit will have a label, in the electrical compartment close to the terminal strip,  
indicating the device instance of each humidifier.  
(1) Nortec LINKS 2 monitors a variety of variables for each unit that is connected to it.  
For a variable listing and definition refer to Table 3. Network variable addresses for  
the humidifiers may be seen in Table 4 to Table 11.

(1) TROUBLESHOOTING  
(1) When troubleshooting the communication process for OnLine and/or LINKS 2  
modules should be kept in mind. Humidifier data is first received by the Nortec  
OnLine module using the modbus protocol over the serial port connection. It then  
forwards this data, via modbus/TCP, to the LINKS 2 module over an Ethernet link. A  
router (switch for BACnet/IP applications) links the two devices together through their  
Ethernet ports and allows a user to access both devices using only 1 customer  
installed Ethernet line.  
(2) INDICATOR LIGHTS  
(1) There is a variety of status LEDs on both the OnLine module and the LINKS 2  
module to aid in the diagnosis of communication problems. Note that communication  
first occurs between the OnLine module and the humidifier logic board. The OnLine  
module then passes information to the LINKS 2 module. If practical, it may be useful  
to establish a connection with the Nortec OnLine server first and then establish  
communication with the LINKS 2 module.

Table 3. Troubleshooting Communication Problems  
Problem  
Solution  
1. The BMS network cannot  
read/write any information to any of  
the networked humidifiers  
Verify that the network connection is made and is connected properly.  
Verify that the correct network settings are being used. The LINKS 2 module  
may need to be restarted to load the new settings.  
Check the Serial Port Activity LED on the Nortec OnLine module to ensure  
proper communication with the humidifiers. Data is first received from the  
humidifier to the OnLine module. The OnLine module then transmits this  
data, via the Ethernet port, to the LINKS 2 module.  
Check the Ethernet port activity on the LINKS 2 module to ensure it is  
receiving data from the Nortec OnLine module.  
Check the transmit and receive status LEDs to determine if there is any  
network traffic being sent or being received by the LINKS 2 module from the  
BMS network  
Verify proper connections to networked humidifiers.  
Turn the LINKS 2 module and the OnLine module off for several seconds  
then switch it back on to reload the control program. Allow for some time for  
the network variables to be polled.  
2. The BMS network can see some  
of the networked humidifiers but not  
others.  
Ensure network variables are mapped correctly to the BMS.  
Ensure proper connections to the humidifiers.  
Disconnect all of the humidifiers from the LINKS 2 package except for the unit  
that is not responding to the network. Turn the LINKS 2 package off and then  
back on. Check if the humidifier can now be seen by the BMS  
3. The BMS network receives  
information from the networked  
humidifier(s) but the information is  
mismatched or the humidifier  
responds un-expectedly  
Verify that the network variables have been mapped to the BMS network  
correctly. It is possible that the variables have been cross-linked during the  
network integration process.  
Connect humidifiers one at a time and test units individually.  
4. After sending the humidifier a  
network-based demand signal the  
unit powers down after several  
minutes. The nviNetSensor variable  
is switched on and a value has been  
set for the nviRHDem1 variable.  
When a BMS network demand/RH signal is being used the network must  
refresh the nviRHDem signal at least every 5 minutes otherwise the  
humidifier will revert to a 0 demand state. This is a safety precaution in case  
the BMS network connection is lost.
