INTRODUCTION

Carrier

r

’s Energy Demand System provides reliable and

automated processes to manage the costs of energy consumption.

Carrier’s Energy Demand System uses wireless devices
incorporating patented Swarm Energy Management algorithms to

create a network of coordinated rooftop units to reduce and

optimize their energy usage.

This system creates a wireless

network of rooftop units with Energy Demand Load Controllers

communicating through the Energy Demand Gateway.
Each individual Load Controller can independently decide whether

it should allow its unit to run by a relay that can break the
connection between the rooftop unit and the thermostat. By

communicating energy information through the Gateway, units are

prevented from running simultaneously when it is not necessary,
thereby smoothing out peak demand over time. This method

provides the ability to accomplish Demand Management, Demand
Response, and energy trending over time.
Carrier offers two accessories that, when combined, make up the

Energy Demand System. This technology utilizes Swarm Energy
Management

t

methodology as a basis for the operating sequence:

S

Energy Management Gateway (Coordinator)
(Model Nos. CRDMNDGW001A00, CRDMNDGW002A00):

This model is packaged with a cellular modem and modem
enclosure, and is the first controller to be attached to a packaged
rooftop unit and powered up. This controller will both
monitor/control the attached rooftop unit, as well as act as a
communications gateway back to the Swarm Energy
Management Web Portal, a service provided by REGEN Energy,
Inc..

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

RTU Checklist

Toward the end of this document, there is a RTU checklist that
must be filled out for every Gateway (Coordinator) installed. The

RTU checklist must be legible.

The RTU checklists need to be

scanned and emailed to [email protected] within 48

hours of the completion of the installation.

Providing this

checklist is vital to completing device set--up for operation.
