4.3.2 AC-2000 SE Relays 1. Relays 1 to 11: Each pair of terminals goes to one relay. These relays are fused with a 5-ampere, 250-volt slow blow fuses. The relays are normally open when not powered. 2. Relay 12: Three terminal blocks: This relay normally serves as an alarm relay. It is also fused with a 5 ampere, 250 volt slow blow fuse, and can serve as an ordinary relay: o NC: Normally closed contact.
4.3.3 AC-2000 SE High Voltage Wiring (Relays) NOTE: The device connections (fan, heat, cool, etc.) that are shown in the drawing are examples only! CAUTION Connect the AC-2000 SE power input to the protected output only! AC-2000 | 8.10/8.11...
7. Relay Extension: Com - The relay extension box such as the REB-8 may be located up to 10 feet from the AC-2000 SE. Do not connect the shield to this terminal. Connect the shield to earth ground only at one end of the cable to avoid ground loops.
4.3.5 AC-2000 SE Low Voltage Wiring (Terminals) • Connect the sensor shielding wire to the grounding strip. o 16 – Analog Input 2 o 17 – Analog Input 3 o 18 – Analog Input 1 NOTE: The above illustration is an example only!

However, limiting this to a smaller number simplifies the ventilation table. • Analog out 1 (0-3): • Analog out 1/Analog out 2 (0-3) (0-4 AC-2000 Plus, Version 8.11): o '0': None o '1': Variable fan o '2': Light...
Select Menu 93 for relay layout. Each relay may work normally or reversed using the NO/NC field. Most relays should be set to normal. There are twelve/twenty relays inside the AC-2000 SE / AC-2000 PLUS respectively, and there may be additional relay extensions. All the relays are numbered sequentially. Assigning the relay code to each relay causes it to assume the particular function.

The alarm output, code 40, should be normally closed so that the alarm activates on a power failure. In normally closed mode, the AC-2000 turns the relay on to turn the function off, and releases the relay to turn the function on. Usually, Relay 12 is the alarm relay since it provides both normally open and normally closed contacts.
5.3.1 Manual Relay Operation Any relay with a code of ‘0’ is not part of the automatic system. However, it follows the NO/NC (Normally Open, Normally Closed) specification. To turn it on manually, (for an extended time, as for installing and for troubleshooting) specify code 0, and set NO/NC to 1.
Radiant heaters used as brooders can have their own dedicated sensors. These do not affect the average temperature reading. If a static pressure sensor is used, it must be connected to one of the analog inputs in place of a humidity sensor. 1.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem: Temperature Sensor does not operate Solution: 1. Replace Temperature sensor or connect it to another terminal. 2. Test the Sensor: Disconnect the two wires of the temperature sensor and measure the resistance. a) For 25° C the resistance should be 30 Kohm. If the temperature is higher, the resistance should be lower (for example at 42°...

Problem: Relays do not operate Solution: 1. If only one relay is not working, check the related fuse. 2. If a group of 4 or 8 relays are not working, it could be that one of the relay coils shorted causing the thermal fuse (automatic fuse) to short.
7 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAUTION Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground. Avoid mixing high voltage wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring. Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources of electrical interference. 7.1 Ground Rods Ground rods are used to efficiently connect the system to earth where current may be dissipated in the soil.
7.5 Lightening Protection Because of the potential for lightning damage to electronic devices, Rotem recommends supplying lightning protection on both the power supply and the communication terminals (if used).
