SPYDER® LON PROGRAMMABLE, VAV/UNITARY CONTROLLERS
The application engineer must review the control job
requirements. This includes the sequences of operation for the
controller, and for the system as a whole. Usually, there are
variables that must be passed between the controller and other
Spyder Lon controller(s) that are required for optimum system-
wide operation. Typical examples are the TOD, Occ/Unocc
signal, the outdoor air temperature, the demand limit control
signal, and the smoke control mode signal.
It is important to understand these interrelationships early in
the job engineering process, to ensure proper implementation
when configuring the controllers. Refer to the controller
Application Guides.
Power Budget
A power budget must be calculated for each device to
determine the required transformer size for proper operation. A
power budget is simply the summing of the maximum power
draw ratings (in VA) of all the devices to be controlled. This
includes the controller itself and any devices powered from the
controller, such as equipment actuators (ML6161 or other
motors) and various contactors and transducers.
IMPORTANT
• If a controller is used on Heating and Cooling Equip-
ment (UL 1995, U.S. only) and transformer primary
power is more than 150 volts, connect the transformer
secondary common to earth ground (see Fig. 12 on
page 10).
• When multiple controllers operate from a single
transformer, connect the same side of the transformer
secondary to the same power input terminal in each
device. The earth ground terminal (terminal 3) must
be connected to a verified earth ground for each
controller in the group (see Fig. 13 on page 11).
POWER BUDGET CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Table 3 is an example of a power budget calculation for typical
PVL0000AS, PVL4022AS, and PVL6436AS controllers. While
the example is shown for only these models, the process is
applicable for all controller models.

The system example above requires 30.7 VA of peak power.
Therefore, a 100 VA AT92A transformer could be used to

power three of these controllers and meet NEC Class 2
restrictions (no greater than 100 VA).
See Fig. 11–Fig. 13 beginning on page 10 for illustrations of
controller power wiring. See Table 4 for VA ratings of various
devices.

For contactors and similar devices, the in-rush power ratings
should be used as the worst case values when performing
power budget calculations. Also, the application engineer must
consider the possible combinations of simultaneously
energized outputs and calculate the VA ratings accordingly.
The worst case, which uses the largest possible VA load,
should be determined when sizing the transformer.
Each controller requires 24 Vac power from an energy-limited
Class II power source. To conform to Class II restrictions (U.S.
only), transformers must not be larger than 100 VA. A single
transformer can power more than one controller.
GUIDELINES FOR POWER WIRING ARE AS FOLLOWS:
— For multiple controllers operating from a single
transformer, the same side of the transformer
secondary must be connected to the same power input
terminal in each device. The earth ground terminal
must be connected to a verified earth ground for each
controller in the group (see Fig. 13 on page 11).
Controller configurations are not necessarily limited to
three devices, but the total power draw, including
accessories, cannot exceed 100 VA when powered by
the same transformer (U.S. only).
— See Fig. 12 on page 10 for controller power wiring used
in UL 1995 equipment (U.S. only).
— Many controllers require all loads to be powered by the
same transformer that powers the controller.
— Keep the earth ground connection wire run as short as
possible (refer to Fig. 11–Fig. 13 beginning on
page 10).
— Do not connect earth ground to the controller's digital
or analog ground terminals (refer to Fig. 11 and Fig.
13).
