Operation 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.
PL-C1000 SERIES BASIC ROOFTOP HARDWARE GUIDE www.proloncontrols.com Unoccupied Mode The fan can be configured to operate in intermittent mode. When there is a cooling or heating demand from any single zone, the Rooftop controller will activate the fan and the cooling outputs as long as all temperature limits, delays and other related parameter are respected.

PL-C1000 SERIES BASIC ROOFTOP HARDWARE GUIDE www.proloncontrols.com Input and Output Identification All the inputs and outputs of the C1000 use pluggable screw type terminal blocks with elevator style clamping, which make connections easier and more secure. For incoming communication from a remote computer or network controller, an RJ45 type connector is available.
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. Jumper to supply power to the RJ45 plug The RJ45 jumper lets the user select if voltage that will appear on pin #7 of the RJ45 plug. This can be used to power a device attached to the RJ45 plug, such as a digital sensor or interface.
PL-C1000 SERIES BASIC ROOFTOP HARDWARE GUIDE www.proloncontrols.com INPUTS Temperature Sensors The C1000 Rooftop controller has three analog inputs that monitor outside air, return air and supply air temperatures (see Figure 2) and will integrate these readings into its control sequence. The sensors used are standard 10k type 3 thermistors that share a single common connection.
PL-C1000 SERIES BASIC ROOFTOP HARDWARE GUIDE www.proloncontrols.com Occupancy Mode (Night Setback) Dry Contact originating from an External Timer: 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"...
(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.
PL-C1000 SERIES BASIC ROOFTOP HARDWARE GUIDE www.proloncontrols.com 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.

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”...
PL-C1000 SERIES BASIC ROOFTOP HARDWARE GUIDE www.proloncontrols.com 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 8: 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 connections are made using the network terminal blocks located on the C1000 controller (see Figure 9).
