USER GUIDE ARENA/ RANGER OVERVIEW ARENA is a Windows® based software package that provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to monitor and operate HVAC applications applying LonWorks technology. A typical application is, for example: • A Commercial building using plant controllers for primary plant control such as air handling units, heating circuits or boilers In ARENA, such a running application is also called “Site”.
ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE ARENA also offers multi-level password protection to restrict access of unauthorized users. All adjustments to system operating parameters are logged by ARENA, together with users identification. This access restriction provides a very high degree of system protection against accidental or malicious damage. ARENA can be equipped with individual graphic data and will be able to display selected information in a graphical environment.

Only one ARENA can be connected at the same time to one iLON 10.
ARENA / RANGER USER GUIDE connection is automatically terminated. Automatic disconnection prevents “forgetting to close a connection”. It is used for modem connections only. NOTE: If a remote site is disconnected, the supervisor ARENA has a time out of up to 2 minutes before the tree gets refreshed to indicate offline state. Site Combinations The max. of 100 sites can be arranged in one supervisor ARENA system.
