PL-C1000 Basic Rooftop Controller Description The ProLon C1000 Basic Rooftop is a microprocessor-based controller designed to operate rooftops or other mechanical HVAC systems. It acts as a master when used on a network with other ProLon zone controllers. General Behaviour Although fully programmable, the ProLon C1000 Basic Rooftop controller uses pre-established control sequences or ’’profiles’’...
Operating Sequence General The ProLon C1000 Basic Rooftop controller receives readings from three temperature sensors located outside, in the return duct and in the supply duct. Also, as a Master device, it receives data from the zone controllers sent on the network bus. A dry contact originating from an external timer signals the occupancy status (optional) to the Master.

The example in Figure 3 shows the switches 1, 2 and 4 in the ON position. Therefore, the corresponding values are 1, 2 and 8, giving an address sum of 11. The ProLon network allows a maximum of 127 addresses, therefore 127 controllers. Figure 3 - Addressing Dipswitches...
The RJ45 connector allows the use of premade CAT5 cables for simple plug-and-play RS485 communication. This RJ45 connector follows the Modbus pinout specification for RS485 communication.

Inputs Temperature Sensors The C1000 Rooftop controller has three analog inputs that monitor outside air, return air and supply air temperatures (see Figure 7) and will integrate these readings into its control sequence. The sensors used are standard 10k type 3 thermistors that share a single common connection. Alternatively, the supply air temperature can be retrieved from a zone controller that has its own supply sensor and belongs to the C1000’s network.
Occupancy Mode (Night Setback) Temperature setback savings can be obtained by using a dry contact originating from an external timer to switch the controller from occupied to unoccupied mode. The timer contact used must be connected to the "OCC" and the "GND" terminals (see Figure 8). To indicate occupied mode, the contact must be open. To indicate unoccupied mode, the contact must be closed.
(PI) to ensure precise adjustment of the device. All configurations are performed via the ProLon Focus software. An integrated resettable fuse protects each of the outputs of the C1000 against current surges and short circuits.
Typical Connection of the Triac Outputs 1 through 4 On the C1000 Rooftop controller, all triac outputs must be set to SOURCE mode because they all share a single source supply: the equipment’s transformer. All triac outputs have a SOURCE / SINK configuration switch;...
DMUX-4J Connection on Output 2 for Stage 3 or 4 Cooling When 3 or 4 stages of cooling are required, the C1000 Rooftop controller must be equipped with a DMUX-4J. The DMUX-4J input is only connected to Output 2 on the C1000 Rooftop controller. The DMUX-4J must be configured to “Sequenced Relay Control”...
PTA2 Connection on Output 2 for Analog Cooling When analog cooling is required, the C1000 Rooftop controller must be equipped with a PTA2 v.1. The PTA2 input is connected to Output 2 on the C1000 Rooftop controller. The input pulse range must be set to 0.1-10 sec.
Figure 14 - Connecting the 24VAC Power Source Network Communication The ProLon C1000 Rooftop controller is primarily designed to work with ProLon zone controllers. When they are networked the Rooftop and zone controllers all communicate in real-time. The network connec- tions are made using the network terminal blocks located on the C1000 controller (see Figure 15).
