Installation; Parts Included; Materials And Special Tools Needed - Johnson Controls FEC1611 Installation Instructions Manual

Installation

Observe these guidelines when installing a field controller:
• Transport the controller in the original container to minimize vibration and shock damage.
• Verify that all parts shipped with the controller.
• Do not drop the controller or subject it to physical shock.

Parts Included

• one field controller with removable terminal blocks
• one installation instructions sheet

Materials and Special Tools Needed

• three fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface (M4 screws or #8 screws)
• one 20 cm (8 in.) or longer piece of 35 mm DIN rail and appropriate hardware for DIN rail mount (only)
• small straight-blade screwdriver for securing wires in the terminal blocks
Mounting
Observe these guidelines when mounting a field controller:
• Ensure the mounting surface can support the controller, DIN rail, and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the controller horizontally on 35 mm DIN rail whenever possible.
• Mount the controller in the proper mounting position
• Mount the controller on a hard, even surface whenever possible in wall-mount applications.
• Use shims or washers to mount the controller securely and evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the controller in an area free of corrosive vapors and observe the Ambient Conditions requirements in
Table 10.
• Provide for sufficient space around the controller for cable and wire connections for easy cover removal and
good ventilation through the controller (50 mm [2 in.] minimum on the top, bottom, and front of the controller).
• Do not mount the controller on surfaces prone to vibration, such as duct work.
• Do not mount the controller in areas where electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring can interfere
with controller communication.
Observe these additional guidelines when mounting a controller in a panel or enclosure:
• Mount the controller so that the enclosure walls do not obstruct cover removal or ventilation through the controller.
• Mount the controller so that the power transformer and other devices do not radiate excessive heat to the
controller.
• Do not install the controller in an airtight enclosure.
