General Description

 

CoolMaster 2000S is versatile bridge device connecting Sanyo VRF Air Conditioning systems and any RS232 or USB capable device like Home PC, Embedded PC or Home Automation Controller. Exposing simple interface over RS232 communication line or USB bus, CoolMaster gains user application full control on indoor units and provides access to VRF system parameters. In other words CoolMaster hides complexity of internal Sanyo S3 Communication line (including very unique physical layer) and instead gives simple, comprehensive, well documented protocol running on popular RS232 or USB connection.
