Page 218: Wiring Binary Output Channels (Relay)
11.6 WIRING BINARY OUTPUT CHANNELS (RELAY) FUSION can control the operation of micro-relays to start/stop the operation of systems such as generators and HVAC systems. The relay may also be used to issue discrete alarms for local telemetry systems. A total of 6 relays are available.
Page 219: Figure 53 - Two Wire Rs-485 Subnet
RS-485 wiring can be complex when multiple devices are connected. When running wires for long distances, RS- 485 networks should always be wired in a bus (or daisy-chain) configuration. The bus should start at the FUSION and then be run to each meter in turn. Branches and “home-run” wiring (i.e. each module is wired back to FUSION individually) should be avoided.
Page 220: Fusion Start-Up
If no problems occur during step 1 the software is then loaded. When an Expansion Shelf is present FUSION will transfer the software to all the I/O cards. This may take a few seconds. During this procedure the FUSION Power/Fail LED indicator will display green while the I/O card LED will display yellow.
