3.1 Installation Guidelines

Operating Environment • To avoid exposing the control to harmful gasses or excessive humidity, install the system in a dedicated room • The ideal ambient temperature is between 20 °C and 25 °C (68 °F - 77 °F). The temperature should not go lower than 0 °C (32 °F) and should not exceed 40 °C (104 °F) • Ensure sufficient ventilation around the unit for proper heatsink cooling

Requirements for the Mounting Structure Attach the control to an adequate support structure behind drywall or similar.

Clearance Around the Control A minimum wall space of 87 x 79cm (34” x 31”) is required. Allow 15cm (6”) clearance around the control from other objects or obstructions.

3.2 Wiring Wiring must be done by an authorized electrician and must comply with applicable codes, laws, and regulations. Ensure power is off before doing any wiring to avoid electrical shock and equipment damage. Drill holes at the bottom of the enclosure to pass the wires and install watertight connectors to prevent water from entering the enclosure. Do not make any holes on the sides or top of the enclosure. The control has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit breaker shall be included in the building installation to interrupt power to L1 and N/L2 electric power lines. It shall be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.

Supporting and Internal Routing Properly supporting and routing wiring cables helps avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) and wire damage. Use the preinstalled wiring clips to route low voltages down the center of the control, away from high voltage. High voltage wires should be routed on the left and right edges of the enclosure. Rigid conduits of up to 5cm (2”) can be used for connection to the control.

External Cable Routing When low voltage cables run parallel to high voltage cables, place them at a distance of at least 30cm (12”) from each other to avoid electromagnetic interference. If low voltage cables cross high voltage cables, ensure they cross at an angle of 90° to minimize EMI.

Earth Grounding A correctly grounded system protects your equipment from electrical surges and spikes. Refer to your local regulations and practices for proper grounding guidelines.

Master and Slave Wiring Slave boxes are intended to be wired in close proximity to the master and in a daisy chain configuration. Limit the distance between any two boxes to less than 91 meters (300 feet) and a total of 274 meter (900 feet) for the system network. Use 16AWG wire to connect the power supply lines (24VDC/GND). Use twisted pair 16-18AWG wire to connect the four wire communication bus lines.

Power Supply Wiring Install a disconnect switch to interrupt power to L1 and N/L2 of incoming power before connecting to the power supply card. The disconnect switch must be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. It must be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment. Connect the L1 and N/L2 lines as

13 marked on the power supply card. Earth ground is tied to the center terminal of the power supply terminal. Earth ground should also be connected to one of the wiring lugs located on the metal backplane in addition to the power supply. Earth ground is tied to the external heatsinks, if equipped, from the factory.

The control working voltage range is between 90VAC and 264VAC. The system consumes 65W. Size your circuit breaker and the wires in accordance with local and national safety codes. A minimum voltage rating of 300V and a minimum temperature rating of 90°C is used for the wires.

3.3 Backup Mode Control cards automatically enter a backup mode when communication between the main control and the card(s) is lost. Depending on the severity of the communication loss and the type of card, the card can continue to operate. Understanding blocks from section 7.3 is critical to understanding backup mode. Follow these guidelines to understand backup mode:

• Have a minimum ventilation stage operated from a block. The minimum ventilation card and assigned temperature probe(s) should be in the same enclosure. • Have a second and third ventilation stage operated from a block. The ventilation cards assigned temperature probe(s) should be in the same enclosure. • Have an inlet operated from a block. The inlet card and assigned temperature probe(s) should be in the same enclosure. • Have a heater operated from a block. The heater card and assigned temperature probe(s) should be in the same enclosure. • For safety, assume communication between all master and slave units is lost. Each block requires a sensor to reference, wire sensors to the same enclosure as the card it operates. • A module will continue to follow its block assignment if it has not lost communication with its assigned temperature probe.

3.4 Power Supply Redundancy The control provides added safety by sending voltage from slave units to the master control motherboard. With this configuration, should the master power supply fail, the slave power supplies can operate the main motherboard and display. Note: Only the main motherboard and LCD will operate, the modules in the master will not operate.

3.5 Installing and Moving Modules Cards are designed to be easily added, moved, or removed from the control. Ensure the main power supply voltage is removed before proceeding. Each card is designed to occupy one of twelve slots in the spine. To move or remove a card, ensure the retaining screw is removed and slide the card away from the spine. Do not pull the card away from the backplane until the card is free from the spine connectors to ensure no connector pins are damaged. To install a module, align it with an open slot on the spine. Align the module to go straight into the spine, holding the module flat against the metal back plate and sliding it towards the spine until seated. If the card does not install smoothly, do not force it. Remove the card and check the connection pins are not damaged, retry installation. Reinstall the retaining screw holding the card to the backplane.

Note A basic understanding of the manual is required before programming a control. Different concepts throughout the manual build upon previous knowledge.

Tip Once two schedule times have been configured, the control will see a pattern of start, stop and run times. Use the duplicate key to replicate this pattern.

Schedule Based Devices – Light A light device schedule varies some from the above start and stop time schedule. In a lighting device, the schedule uses start times and light intensity. The controller will operate the light based on the lighting intensity defined at a start time. It will then linearly ramp towards the next lighting intensity. A light schedule can also run based on sunrise and sunset events.
