Common Fig. 1 Connection Details 4.1 Power Supply The Black Pear requires a 24v AC supply and has a consumption not exceeding 5VA. The internal fuse is rated T630mA. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED 4.2 HVAC Communications Network ( TCC-LINK ) Connect to outdoor unit terminals U3 and U4, as per a standard central controller.
4.3 Serial Communications Ports These connectors provide access to the Modbus registers using RS232 or 2-wire RS485. The port configuration is as follows: Modbus RTU 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit 9 PIN D-SUB FEMALE Serial Comms Port Pin 2 To PC...
Ensure that the correct USB driver has been installed prior to connecting the Black Pear to a PC. 4.6 Ethernet The Black Pear is a 10/100Base-T half/full duplex device. It supports auto-negotiation and also features auto-crossover (Auto-MDIX), allowing the use of either a straight-through or crossover cable.

The systems need to be set up as if a standard Toshiba central controller is to be fitted. The Black Pear can replace or work in parallel with a Toshiba central controller. Each refrigerant system must have a separate line address and the network address (Configuration Item 03) must be set between 1 and 64.

1 to 24. The Base Slave Address can be adjusted from 1 up to 200. A setting of 200 means the Black Pear will respond to msgs for slaves 200 to 223. This is useful to prevent address clashing when the Black Pear unit is attached to a serial communications network containing multiple Modbus devices.
On/Off and Inhibit can also be accessed via ‘Coils’. Each slave contains 12 coils, organised as follows: Coil Offset Definition Unit A On/Off (R) Unit A On/Off (W) Unit B On/Off (R) Unit B On/Off (W) Unit C On/Off (R) Unit C On/Off (W) Unit A Inhibit (R) Unit A Inhibit (W)

TT-64x Fig. 7 Trend System Example The Black Pear connects via Ethernet to a CNC or the virtual CNC port of a Trend IQ outstation, and uses sensors, switches and knobs defined in the IQx memory to mirror a range of HVAC parameters, making them available on a Trend network.
Some Trend systems will generate ‘network alarms’ due to the repeated connection and disconnection of the Black Pear to the CNC. Setting the CNC Usage = 0 will allow a single Black Pear to remain connected to the CNC, thus preventing these alarms from being generated.
298 to 301 302 to 305 The Black Pear can be configured to enable only those objects of interest to the user, therefore reducing the memory overhead required in the IQ outstation. Any objects enabled in the Black Pear which aren’t defined in the Trend outstation will simply be ignored during the polling sequence.
8.3 Parameter Settings See the table in Section 7.4 for a list of valid parameter settings. Notes: As of firmware v2.29, the return air sensor and the setpoint knob will contain temperatures valid to 1 dp (with 0.5 C resolution). Setting the setpoint to 1 dp is reliant on the HVAC unit accepting setpoint commands to this resolution.
