Activating and deactivating Power Blocks
When you add a Power Block, its status is automatically set to active. When a Power Block is active,
you can configure and set up the Power Block, as well as view and print charts and reports for it.
When a Power Block is inactive, you do not send or receive data from it. You can view and print
charts and reports for it using existing data.
To activate or deactivate a Power Block
1. In the main window, click Configuration, and then Ventilation.
2. Below Your Power Blocks, select the Power Block you want to activate or deactivate.
3. Below Active, click and drag the slider to the status you want.
Configuring Power Blocks
The difference between configuring and programming Power Blocks is that configuring is telling
Select Ventilation what equipment is connected to each stage or relay, while programming is telling
the software how to control it.
When you add a new Power Block, none of the relays or variable stages are enabled. To enable
stages, you must configure the Power Block. Configuring Power Blocks means selecting the
function—actuator, curtain, and so on—for each variable stage and relay. To put it another way,
configuring is telling Select Ventilation what is connected to each stage or relay on the Power Block.
