With the exception of the MAXIM 1 controller, all MAXIM Series controllers can either be used in standalone applications to control external equipment, or in an Innotech network consisting of multiple controllers and devices supporting Global and Net Comms traffic. This manual covers the following Maxim Series Controllers: •...
Human Machine Interface (HMI) provides direct access for complete control and operation of various Innotech controllers. The HMI basically consists of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and the keypad for direct interaction with the controllers.
The controllers that can be installed on the primary network provide communication channels with Net and Global comms functionality. These controllers can interface with other Innotech network resources. The MAXIM Series controllers that can be installed on the Innotech primary network are: • MAXIM II •...
These controllers can operate in standalone applications, using the respective universal inputs, universal outputs, analogue outputs, and digital outputs to transmit and receive information and control external equipment, or as part of a network of Innotech devices that support Net and Global comms communication.
MAXIM Installation Instructions 1-2.4 MAXIM I Controller The MAXIM I Controller is unique in that it only operates in standalone applications, using the built in universal inputs, analogue outputs, and digital outputs to transmit and receive information and control external equipment. The MAXIM I controller cannot be installed on a network.
MAXIM Series controllers on industry standard DIN rail. Innotech recognises that the installation examples described in this manual may not suit the requirements of all customers. However this document should serve as a guide for all installations, regardless of whether your particular installation is similar to that of provided examples.
The MAXIM Series I, II, III, and 1010 controllers are housed in DIN cases and are suitable to be mounted on DIN rail. The exact dimensions of the MAXIM I and MAXIM II controllers are shown in Figure 2-2 below. Figure 2-3 on the next page shows the dimensions of the MAXIM III and MAXIM 1010 controllers.
MAXIM Installation Instructions Figure 2-3: MAXIM III and MAXIM 1010 Controller Dimensions 2-2.3 MiniMAX, MicroMAX, VAVMax, and IG01 These controllers are housed in a compact DIN case and are suitable to be mounted on DIN rail. And since these controllers are housed in a common case, the dimensions therefore for each controller are the same, as illustrated in Figure 2-4 on the next page.
MAXIM Installation Instructions Figure 2-4: MiniMAX, MicroMAX, VAVMax and IG01 Controller Dimensions 2-2.3.1 VAVMax Differential Pressure Input The Differential Pressure Input is only available on the VAVMax (VM01) controllers. It is used to measure and respond to changes in air velocity pressure, which is determined by how the VAVMax controller has been configured.
The following installation guidelines are provided to ensure continued and reliable operation of the MAXIM Series controllers: • The MAXIM I, II, III, and 1010 controllers should be installed in a position that provides easy access to the optional HMI, and sufficient room for power and input/output cabling. Placement of the these controllers should account for the optimum viewing angle of the LCD, which is approximately 80 °...
MAXIM Installation Instructions 2-3.3 Installing on DIN Rail As mentioned earlier the MAXIM Series controllers are designed to be mounted on DIN rail. The DIN rail is a set of different standardized rails widely used for mounting industrial control equipment inside equipment racks.
Commissioning. NOTE Customers are encouraged to contact Innotech Control Systems Australia or your nearest authorised distributor for any clarification or further information regarding the installation process. Cabling plays an important role in the installation of MAXIM Series controllers. Therefore shielded cable for wiring must be used in all cases.

If up to 6 SSRs are to be wired in series, you can use the Analogue Output as 0 to 10 V DC modulating in conjunction with the Innotech Heat Valve (IHV) module. Please refer to the following datasheets for more information on IHVs: •...
MAXIM Installation Instructions 3-3.1.4 Digital Relay Outputs The digital relay outputs have two terminals assigned to each channel representing the Normally Open (NO) and Common (COM) contacts of the associated relay. It is good practice to use pilot relays for the actual switching functions, particularly when it applies to inductive loads such as coils, solenoids, and motors.
MAXIM Installation Instructions 3-3.2 MiniMAX Controllers (MM01 / MM02) This section of the manual provides wiring information for the MiniMAX MM01 and MM02 controllers. Information is provided on wiring a power source and all associated inputs and outputs. The general layout of the input and output terminals for each of these controllers is illustrated in Figure 3-7 below.

MAXIM Installation Instructions 5-2.2.1 Checking Power Inputs The power inputs must be inspected to ensure that the supplied voltage is within the specifications of the particular controller, as illustrated in Figure 5-1 below. In cases where a DC power source is utilised, correct polarity must be verified, and the 0 V terminal must be connected to ground.
MAXIM Installation Instructions 5-2.2.2 Checking Universal Inputs Before any Universal Inputs are connected to a MAXIM Series controller, you MUST follow the steps listed below to verify that 0 V A C is measured across these inputs. Please note that the voltage will be measured directly at the Universal Input wiring, and NOT at the controller, as illustrated in Figure 5-2 below.
MAXIM Installation Instructions 5-2.2.3 Checking Digital Relay Outputs The Digital Relay Outputs on MAXIM Series controllers are interfaced through relays, each with Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) contacts. Before checking the Digital Relay Outputs, it is important to verify that there are no short circuits in the external wiring, which can cause the contact current to exceed the maximum rating.

MAXIM Installation Instructions The steps below provide further details to check and verify proper operation of the Digital Relay Outputs on MAXIM Series controllers, as illustrated in Figure 5-3 on the previous page. 1. Verify that the MAXIM controller on which the Digital Relay Outputs will be checked is powered OFF.
MAXIM Installation Instructions 5-2.2.4 Checking Analogue Outputs The Analogue Output wiring on MAXIM Series controllers should be checked to verify that the output terminals are free of any external voltage, to verify continuity through the external analogue circuit, and to verify that the resistance of the external analogue voltage is sufficient to avoid overloading the analogue output circuit.

MAXIM Installation Instructions A-1 Overview The Commissioning Tool – Subsystem Network (CT01) is a Human Machine Interface (HMI) that allows you to configure controllers on a Subsystem network. It provides full access and navigation through the menu structure of the Subsystem controllers. You can use the CT01 to commission the controllers as an alternative to the software method.
MAXIM Installation Instructions A-2.2 Connecting to Sub System Gateway (IG01) When you connect the CT01 to the Innotech Sub System Gateway (IG01) using the provided adaptor cable, the CT01 can communicate with all subsystem controllers on that network that are connected to the IG01, as illustrated in Figure A-2 below.
MAXIM Installation Instructions A-2.3 Connecting to sub system network When you connect the CT01 to the subsystem network at any point using the provided adaptor cable, the CT01 can communicate with all controllers on the sub system network that are connected to the IG01, EXCEPT for the controller that is directly connected to the CT01.
MAXIM Installation Instructions A-2.4 CT01 Menus and Navigation The interface of the CT01 is relatively easy to navigate. To access the Menu page press the Exit button. To select how the CT01 is connected to the controller, select Setup and press the Enter button.
MAXIM Installation Instructions A-4 VAVMax Settings Configuring a VAVMax controller requires a number of parameters that have to be calibrated. You can use the CT01 to calibrate the following parameters on a VAVMax controller to suit your requirements: • Zone temperature set point. •...
The K-Factor may need to be rechecked and calibrated when the airflow is set to VMax. A-5.1 Calibration of sensors The calibration of sensors is normally completed by the Innotech commissioning technicians. However the CT01 can be used to calibrate the sensor if the need arises. Follow the steps below to calibrate sensors: 1.
