pCOOEM+ Controller
This guide is designed to walk through the basics of
establishing unit setpoints and scheduling for a ClassMate or
SchoolMate unit using the pGD1 display module. Every unit with
Modine Controls System is designed for either standalone or
networked operation. For units communicating on a BMS, the guide
will also explain how to adjust your unit’s device instance to
allow proper communication.
The pGD1 display module can be unit mounted, or handheld
depending on the customized order. The pGD1 allows for complete
visibility over the unit’s controls parameters. It is recommended
that at least one handheld device be available at the install site
if the need arises to change these settings.
